News Update - Monday 28 Nov

Found at carpark
A 33 yr old guy and a 19 yr old girl was found lifeless in a car at a Choa Chu Kang multi-storey carpark on Saturday night. There were reports today that they were suspected of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Tattooed boy for fun
A taiwan boy, 3, whose mother is serving jail sentences for drug offence, entrusted a flatmate to look after her son. The boy was then passed on to a 26-yr old driver. He did at least 4 tattoos on his body, including a 50cm dragon across his chest and shoulder, a beast's head on his provate parts and abdomen, and a sunburst on his thigh. His tiny body was also badly bruised and scalded, and his skin was peeling. For 3 months, the boy was pinned down, tattooed and tortured by this driver guardian, all because he thought it was "fun". The boy was found brain dead and taken off a life-supporting machine after agreement from his mother. The boy also suffered a dislocated right shoulder, a blood clot at the back of his head, as well as multiple cuts and infected wounds on his neck and forehead. There were also signs of child rape and poison being applied to his wounds.

End of Asian Festival
So sad, so many interesting films, tomolo is the last day already :( only 2 films screenings left.

Thinking of u

Missing her alot now... hmmm... suddenly thinking of us cuddling on a sofa. Nice to have her snuggling up onto me... though it seldom happen lah. i'm so short! :(

Yeah she's on the way home now! To her home lah.. hehe..

Love Test

I think a person should have only one main criteria in his/her partner. The other positive that comes on top of it willbe bonus. That means to say that as long as the other party fulfills this main criteria, you should already be grateful for it. Life's easier this way.

Some like their partner to be filial, or decisive, or full of surprises, etc. Nobody is perfect. Nobody has all these gd points combined into one. Therefore, dun ask for so much. Just decide the ONE factor you would like most in a person and go for it! Treat all the other plus points as additional perks tat you've eaned!

I do admit that i use to prefer my ideal partner to be everything all at once. Fun, serious, decisive, adventurous, etc. Some rather conflicting demands even. But now i seemed to get the picture already. There is no one who can be like this!

This test kinda made me re-look into my priorities. It made me reorganised my views on what i wan for in a partner. I'm eager to share it with her when she reads this! Wat's yours? :)

Insecurities

Did some research on dragon boat paddling in singapore. Found some pretty good sites on women dragon boat racing:

BCF
Safra
A reading article

It was written somewhere that one of the organisations match made quite a few couples for their members. *Insecure* Haiz. What if she meets someone? Hunks with abs and stuff like tat?But i couldn't possibly coop her up all day at home just to prevent that? Haiz. Sometimes letting go might be the best measure? Cos if she has seen enough of the colourful world outside, and she still comes back to me at the end of the day, then i'll never have to worry again in future.

But if not...... then i can only eat my foot....

Have faith! :)

Low blood pressure!

The 2nd time a doc told me i have got "slightly" low blood pressure.

Being the kiasee tat i usually am, quickly came home and did some read up.

We are the fortunate lot

Was having breakfast with BB at world trade hawker. Saw a man selling tissue papers, his legs were slightly deformed, resulting him in a slight limp. Dear seemed to be saddened by the sight and commented that we are very fortunate. I couldn't have agree more.... must cherish what we have. You dun know when it might be gone... a limb, a loved one, a hair, a pet, whatever it is.

Enjoy what you have now, enjoy the bliss of owning it now. Albeit temporary. Just enjoy it.

News Update - Sunday 27 Nov

Doggies Alert!
It was reported that there will be stiffer fines likely for errant dog owners. Higher licence fees for unsterilised male dogs; traceable microchip tags may be compulsory. My poor pug who doesn't have a licence. And all our dogs who might have to undergo and injection of the microchip!

Get Well Soon
Ms Koh Chieng Mun, just underwent operation for not one but two cancerous tumours. One in her left breast and one in her right kidney. Double blow. She's currently recovering well and will go for chemotherapy just to make sure. Take care girl, nothing beats a good health! Dun work too hard!

Neighbouring Country
Regarding the case involving Malaysian Police, it was a China National detainee who was made to stripped and forced to do squats(!) under the supervision of a lady police officer. The ordeal was recorded using a camera phone. Apparantly a lady MP received the VCD containing this clip at her office in KL and she proceeded to expose this scandal in Parliament. Kudos.

In addition, 3 airforce personnel from the M country were arrested for allegedly molesting and raping a Chinese national at a hotel in Klang. These men posed as policemen and approached the woman on the pretext of checking her passport. They then forced her to enter their room.


Crazy Horse!!
It's quite a surprise to me to know that it's Eng Wah cinema chain's MD, Ms Goh Min Yen who brought in the topless dancers. Bold move. We're moving towards the 21 century!

Be truth to yourself

If you marry just to please your families and not for yourself, it's just plain self-denial and self-betrayal. I'm glad no one i know is like tat. Or maybe i dunno it. Or maybe THEY themselves dun know it either.

Chill out @ Sentosa

As promised, I slept at about 12am on Sat night and luckily i woke up in time this morning! Cos dear suggested we go sentosa!!! Brillant and refreshing change for a weekend!

We decided to go car-less and took mrt there separately. Entrance fee by bus ride increased liao, 3 bucks as compared to 2 bucks previously!

We decided to explore Tanjong Beach cos it's less accessible. Less accessible == smaller crowd. We settled down at TB at about 11am. Quite a cosy place, it was nice dog-watching rather than pple-watching. We lied down at some beach chairs and didn't realised that they belonged to KM8. THerefore we were obligated to order beverages from them loh. I would have preferred a beer! But decided that they are too ex liao. We had a jug of orange juice instead. They have rather nice chill out music.

We packed up at about 1pm and adjourned to Harbour Front for lunchie! Wanted to look for Dragon Gate Restaurant for Tim Sum. But when we reached there, it was pitched black! And the doors were locked! Tmd.

So famished, we settled for PastaMania.

Then after our very full meal of Marinara, something (x alot) stuffed with cheese and spinach and supreme pizza, we had to solve the mystery of the missing restuarant. After much walking and lift rides.... we finally finally FINALLY found the restuarant... can tell them the good news also liao. Dear threaten to kill me if we find the place. But hey we missed the lunch hour liao.. hehe....

Headed home separately after that.... beat tired...

Here we come again next weekend!!! :)

Ikea with dear and Porridge with grandparents

I woke up real late yesterday (sat) and stood dear up for a good 2 hours. Haiz.... trust me to trust myself to sleep at 5am! Pig!

We went Ikea.. the journey there was a drag.... dear refused to talk to me. Didn't know how to break the silence. Despite some pathetic tries. So i kept quiet to accomodate her, in case i add "fuel to the fire".

Wanted to get a chair for my computer desk. Saw a pretty nice one. But it was "oversold" as stated by Ikea. Does such a word exists?

We also arrived at Funan to get a game for dear. A chinese game. But apparently there's something wrong with the viewing of chinese characters...

I had to arrive home to take the car and fetch granny and grandpa and my parents to dinner. Nothing but sheer stress. Stressful driving and stressful jam and stressful queue for dinner. Have to drive EXTRA careful cos there are 4 of my precious folks on board my little bug! Not that i usually dun drive carefully, but cos they are old liao, i'm so afraid of having to drive any faster than 70km/h.

We went Kallang there to have taiwan porridge at this supposedly old label restaurant. Really have to thanks dear for giving me the idea! *winks*

Common dreams, common goal

By the time i met up with BB, it was quite late already. We ate at J8 foodcourt and we talked about some interesting stuff. Our possible future career paths and interests and stuff like that. I kinda like that. Sharing ideas and dreams. Kinda hoping we can take some courses together, something which we both like. Cultivate deeper common interests and then will have more common topic mah. Then my dear won't have excuse to xiu1 le wo3 . haha.. joking.

Tomolo we'll be going:
1) furniture shopping
2) gather some information about the courses we like!
3) buy game for BB so that she won't feel bored when i'm obsessed with my maple story and when i dun have time for her
4) Guitar strings (time to cultivate some quiet moments in me again! so that i won't bug dear so unecessarily.. heh)

Shopping time! Oh... hope to pay a visit to wisma tomorrow, if not one of these days too! Heard that it has changed alot and the the foodcourt is alot more of standard than before.

A lost dog

On my way from my block to the carpark, i notice a dog tailing me, in order to discourage him, i walked back to my block. Cos i was afraid that he might get lost if he followed me up to the 2nd storey of the car park, where my car was. It seemed comfortable at the block now as he was sniffing at the dustbin. So i made my way up the car park again, and there he was again! Behind me. I therefore perform the routine again. Lead him back to my block again, where his owner might be around. I repeat this several times, to no avail. Seeing that i'll be late for my appointment with dear, I called mum and told him about the story, and that i'm bringing him home. Mum's reaction was BIG. She was very reluctant as we already have enough fur-producing animals at home! But i couldn't leave the dog behind right? It's a Shih Tsu and it's so dangerous to leave him wandering about, there were cars going to and fro the carpark.

As i was taking out my house keys, *rring ring rrring cliiiing* he looked up at me longingly. I walked to the lift lobby and he followed too. Inside the lift, i bent down to wanna sayang him, he was very excited and kept turning and turning and turning. I could smell a very dog stench on him and notice that his fur was quite badly tangled up. When the lift door opened, he dashed out and in the opposite direction of my house. Oh No!

I trailed after him and found him standing at the door of one of my neighbour. By this time, my parents were out of the house and seeing the dog dash to the direction of that neighbour's my dad suspected that it was their dog. Cos they have a dog too and the breed and size matches that of theirs. We called upon them and they admitted tat it's their dog and tat they "didn't know when their dog went out". They seemed surprise. Their children appeared puzzled too. But as dear pointed out, it was rather amazing that the dog could sneak out without the owner's knowledge. And wat's more, to walk down the stairs (i live on quite a high level) and maybe take the lift? All these by the dog itself and without the owner's knowledge? Quite puzzling. Unless they have the intention to abandon the dog, tat's a different story.

But this dog ah, really clever lah. He can recognise me! His neighbour! Smart dog!

and alot more....

So dun you screw it up huh Monkey! You and your attention seeking streak ah!
I like her 'hello' over the phone :)

News update - 25 Nov 05

Luckily we didn't buy any Ba Hu from Thailand leh dear. Hehe...

Another racist blogger brought to charge.

Dear, you will love this news. I want to be a dolphin!!

David's here again, *slurps*

Did the limelight break them up? It's a pity... sigh.
So much for the hugely publicished wedding, only to break up under the media limelight also.
If they are really in it for love and not money, the heartache must be been horrendous.

Sneak Preview of Chicken Little today! See what time dear knocks off :)

Some points to self

1) Have not been donating blood for months liao. Time to get back in sync.

2) Finally managed to download the patch for maple story liao. Yeah. Wasted so much of my time last night till i feel sleepy staring at the non-changing screen!

3) Mum asked me if i wanna go Ikea, to which i declined. Hope they dun feel bored. Cos i promised dear to go tomolo le.

Pathetic

It's a friday. A quiet and low-key one for me. Have been sleeping alot. Slept early at about 9plus last night and woke up at abt 8 this morning. Had a headache ever since.

As I thought about my presentation during class yesterday, I was very disappointed with my performance, and I had told Dear about it on the phone yesterday. We were given 3 mins each to talk about ANY topic. But i didn't have any topic in mind, so i talked about myself. Blabber blabber blabber. Stammer stammer stammer. Quiver quiver quiver. All the nervousness and unsteadiness were written all over me. Heck I'm not usually like that. What went wrong?

I realised it most probably boils down to my choice of topic. It's not that i dun take pride in myself or my life. But it's not the best topic to talk about. Which also made me aware of an alarming fact. That i have nothing to be passionate about in life. Pathetic. My interests are too diverified and i dun excel in anyone of them. Maybe "I can eat alot of rice at one go". Grrr. It's really sad, when you looked back on your death bed, and wonder, hey what is it that i can be proud of in my life? ZILCH.

-------------------------------------------------------

I've been pestering dear for the past few days while she's at work. I dun understand why i'm so petty at times? Sometimes I am so bothered when she does not answer my sms and return my calls. Why am i so affected by it? My behaviour now reminded me of my ex back in the poly days. He behaves like me now, and back then i find it very irritating to have someone breathing down my neck all the time. Why am i commiting it since i found it to be so irritable?

Like they say, relationship is like flying a kite. The tighter you pull the string, it will break. The more you release it, it'll fly away. Balance, once again.....

Thursday, November 24, 2005

Early knock off

Have been running regularly for this week, hope to maintain the habit. Maintain the distance, and also to improve on my timing.

Met up with dear at the running track yesterday and we went for dinner together.

What shall we do for X'mas leh?! :)

Nice Article I came across

I came across this article. Just wannt post it here as a reminder for everyone of us, time and again it will be good to think about things like that. Sometimes when a person is too immersed in a relationship, possessiveness seeps in so quietly you won't even notice it. But sometimes no signs of possessiveness also spells bochup-ness, uncaring attitude. Haiz... whatever it is, balance!!!! Pls read on.

------------------------------------------------------------

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you.

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.

Advise, but don't order.

Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.....

Live to the max, love to the max.

Just reached home from my Ah Gong's place. Apparently, words from the mouth of my Ah Yi (which is more accurate), Ah Gong's condition is not considered mild, his medical case is now referred to the cancer specialists. And then thereafter, will have to wait for their recommendations on what are the possible measures. Haiz.

Now that Ah Gong has already returned home after the long hospital stay, Ah Ma seems to have revert to her previous impatience towards Ah Gong. Haiz... how man. We all know that she's very concerned about Ah Gong, and likewise Ah Gong is very concerned about Ah Ma also. Their love for each other is so strong, but as I see it, they always display it in a wrong manner. When Ah Gong gestured and told Ah Ma to eat dinner or eat fruits, Ah Ma kept ignoring Ah Gong and just shrugged him off, obviously impatient with his persistence nagging. But you should have seen how worried sick and upset Ah Ma was, when Ah Gong was lying in bed, all frail and pale during his hospital stay. Haiz..... communication communication!!! Patience Patience patience!!!!!

For those already in a long term relationship. Think about it. This is the likely path to walk into when you are already say twenty years into the relationship. How to avoid situations like that? And live your old age happily together, expressing yourself effectively?
------------------------------------------------------------------

On the way home from their house, I was travelling on CTE(SLE), slow traffic all the way after I entered from Upper Thomson Rd. The LED display showed that there was massive jam all the way till woodlands. After travelling past Mandai, mum and me saw that there was an accident involving 5 vehicles, thus causing the jam. Which reminded me of the incident when dear's car got kissed by the BMW behind. I can still remember my fury and temper explosion when we first felt the impact coming from behind. And I am very sure that I will still explode in this manner if I ever bump (pun intended) into this situation again.

But how to avoid this situation leh? I can be careful yes, I am quite sure I won't bump into other car's rear, because I always keep a good safety distance from the car in front. But how can I prevent pple from bumping into my car's rear and thus avoiding my temper explosion?

Only one way, which is to give way to pple tailgating me.... no other way than this. Life is precious. Cherish your own life and dun let other pple have control to your life and death. YOU control your own life!

Give them the benefit of the doubt. They might be doctors rushing off to attend to emergencies also. Haiz... bear this in mind will you Monkey?

If mum drives in future, you won't want her to bump into driving buggers also right? Remember what Karma is! If you do good, it'll pay off on your loved ones too!

Late post

Boy am i beat!

Was chatting with PW just now. His crazy words and fast furious typing never fail to entertain me. Thanks for entertaining me though you're busy with those animation thingies. And also thanks alot for giving me some area for deep thinking!

And all the best for your test tomorrow darling!! GOod night... where's my good night kiss?!

Going to zzzzzz now.

Drive safely and have a good week everybody!

My Ah Gong

I saw a man in his underwear today at my place of course. Damn grossed out. Maybe i wouldn't mind if it's hunk or wat. But he's a damn fatty. I'm gonna have nightmare for sure tonight. Him and his sky blue undies. WHAT THE HELL!!! And now BB suan me that I'll grow needle eyes!! BAD BB!!!! BBB!!! i'll spread it to you then you know!

One bad news, today my ah gong went for a medical review after his operation to remove a tumour in his stomach. The doctors confirmed that he has got stomach cancer. It's still in the early stages. And can be cured by chemotherapy. But from my mum told me, ah ma kinda thinks that it's better for ah gong to do without the chemotherapy and just let nature takes its course, since ah gong already getting on age liao. Ah ma's rational is not to let ah gong go through so much pain and just enjoy his golden years naturally.

*shrugs* i dunno man... my mum kinda agree with ah ma. Cos she has seen example of pple suffering from chemotherapy. Yes chemo is supposed to cure you, but there are alot of side effects. Naseousness, loss of appetite, hair loss, pain, etc. Sigh.

Ah gong is a very nice man. Maybe not good as a husband, cos he's a man of few words, difficult to get words out of him. Ah man often grumbles about that. But he's definitely a good ah gong. Maybe will have to find out from doctors, what are the years of survival without going through chemo. Seems like the family will gather for a round of discussion again.

I dun like this type of family gathering :(

Gugu

My dear - the gugu buster.
The royals are lucky to have you, me too :)

News Update

They couldn't have been so brainless to drink straight from the river ba? Dun tell me they didn't boil or sterilise the water before consumption? Tsk tsk.

Good news for you BB, if you choose to travel by CTE when you go home, or come my house :D

Winner of this year's SMS contest emerges!! I wonder if i qualify to compete? :)

Maybe being too frank with my feelings isn't a good sign? But I'm like that... I have to say what i'm feeling. Especially so if it's good things. Because I just dun wanna regret not saying it if anything bad happens to me, and I go up to heaven and I regretted aiya why just now i never tell her i love her when i felt so.

(FUG lah... stop talk talk talk talk talking man!!! shut up to the idle man at home!!!!!!!!!)

Balance balance balance..... maybe sometimes excess of certain things tend to make it not precious liao? balance balance balance. Pls learn that Monkey!!!!

And also, dun smile too much to strangers!!!!!!!! STUPID MAN AT HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAKING ME FEEL SO AGITATED!!!!!!!!!!!

Childish Monkey

Yearning for reciprocation.... learning that different pple got different ways of expressing. I so love to talk and share! But not everybody is this way.... learning learning learning... Yup!!

Grow up will you Monkey!!! Stop being so childish!!!! You idiot!!!!

Latest image on maple story

My headgear is now a white bandera, cos dear said that my previous heargear of a swimming cap is too 'song' liao. Haha. Using a broken fence as my shield now. Razor as weapon.

Simplicity

Just got back from Ah Ma's. Isn't life this simple? To just gather around loved ones and simply share and care and laugh together with? No hidden agendas. No back-stabbing. No harm intended. Love is just this simple..

Sentosa

Dear and me went to Sentosa today! We went there for sight-seeing, machiam like tourists. Hehe.. Our target was to have a taste of getting on the Chairlift and the Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon! Heck it's pricey! 19 bucks for entry to both!

We parked at the beach carpark and the first target that came along our way was the chairlift. We choose to go up the Imbiah lookout via Chairlift and come back down by the Luge ride. Pretty exciting the Luge ride, downslope all the way and there were scary kids riding down the slopes at lightning speed. Dear likes the Luge ride! And she looks cute wearing the helmet.. haha.

On our way next to Underwater world, we passed by an animal show. A monkey that resembles Baboon. We took pics with one of them. Well taken, the pics. The monkey seemed to like you more than me! The monkey was not attentive to the camera when it was my turn, but she looked at the camera when she took the pic with you!! Grrr!!! Seems like you really have certain charm towards monkeys huh? Hmmm!

We then walked our way to the Underwater world!! We met a Japanese tourist nearing the ticketing booth, and he hurriedly offered to give us 2 complimentary tickets, quickly explaining that he did not have enough time to stay. Before the both of us could understand what he was trying to say, he shoved the tickets into our hands and went off. Haha. It turns out that the tickets he gave us, had the Dolphin Lagoon Entry portion torn off already. What's left was the Underwater world entry portion. Meaning, we actually earned free entry to Underwater World.

It was not as impressive as we expected it to be. Dear have not been here before(!!) and i so badly want to bring her here. It's somewhat disappointing. I doubt they have 2500 types of sea creatures which they boast? It didn't seemed this boring when i came here a few years back. Or maybe I was just a little kid then, and was easily fasinated? Hehe..

The weather was good and hot, I could feel the skin on my face tightening. We had a good lunch at air-conditioned Sakae, whew. We planned to go to Dolphin Lagoon after lunch. The next show dolphin show was at 3:30pm, but by the time we finished our lunch, it was already 3:15pm. So we decided to watch the 5:30pm one. We did not want to rush through lunch mah, therefore eat leisurely loh. Dun scold me ah dear! My stomach more important than dolphin! :D

Nothing much to shop around the beach shops. Billabong, some beach wear labels, eateries. But seriously it has changed quite a lot since the olden days. It's now very much developed and hip is the word.

We were early at the Dolphin place. About an hour before the showtime. We drank coffee and soft drink and passed time. We even took little naps. Tired after the day's event and also sitting in the sun makes us drowsy.

The pink dolphins looked fat. The show wasn't too bad, but the BKK dolphins performed more stunts, although we couldn't understand Thai. Dear seemed to have a very enjoyable time clicking away with the camera. Or is it that i didn't offer to take over the task? :D

Quickly sent dear home after that, if not princess and prince will be starving. Am home now, tired and having a minor headache... must be getting sick after being deprived of my baby. I just had a bowl of maggie mee... and will go rest and sms my love after this blog. Tata.

Cohabitation

I have had the luxury of Dear 'cohabitating' with me these few nights. She must be tired out
from all the traveling. Work-Home-My House. Driving can such be a chore if you are tired man. I'm already missing your presence in my house now already dear. Haiz.. It feels so great to have you around, just to listen to me and be here to share my thoughts and give inputs to me. Just this simple.... Really look forward to the day when we have our own roof.

*Reminder to self*: Never take for granted when that day comes. Whichever stage of life you are at, always remind yourself of your past, what you previously do not have and what you fortunately own now. I will always remember how difficult it is for us to get together, not to mention living together. Everything that comes, I will cherish it very much. Because it didn't come easy and things dun just fall in place into our laps.

Just like now, it's even a luxury to have you to sleep over at my place. Therefore when we own our own place in future, when i'm able to sleep and wake to you everyday, i will always bear in mind what we do not have now. And just like if I am able to own my own yatch in future, i will remember how difficult it is to maintain my golden beetle now. Always count your blessings! Look back and remember the hardship you face in getting to the destination. And you won't take the destination for granted.

On a sidenote, I love it when Dear sleep on her side, facing me and hugging me at the same time. It's a first. And i really like it.. and when she lays her head on my shoulder at the same time, it is even more heavenly. And in my subconscious state of of sleep, i notice dear snuggling up close to me. Something which i've not notice before either. Maybe it's due to my 'complaint' that she always like to sleep far far from me? Hehe... well well, little pleasures of life :) I love you baby.

Glittery Star


Michelle Krusiec in the limelight!!! Yippieee!!! She was in the running for the Golden Horse Award, but lost to Shuqi. You go girl!

She doesn't look a bit over 30s.

Her pic in Straits Time's Life! somehow reminded me of ex-actress Jamie Lee? But MK wins hands down :)

And oh, just wanna put up an observation. Ever notice how tiny the Saving Face ads always were in the movie page? They are so small you can hardly see them among the other big movie ads. Tsk tsk.

Day off - 1 of 2

Dear originally planned taking the whole day off, but was informed that she had a meeting in the morning. Therefore we met after her meeting and went for lunch! She was famished, and suggested going to Sakae for buffet lunch. But alas, the outlet we went to, do not have it. And even if so, buffet only starts at 3pm. Alamakz. Note!!

I beat dear at Daytona game just now! Haha!! Victory of the evil monkey! Haha. We spent $10 at the arcade to relive our childhood just now. I've alot of games to intro to you baby! There were quite alot of amusing games during my teens. Haha..

Dear is now not around with me at home.... she went to feed her royals at home.. heheh.
Drive carefully when you come back k~!

Mentally Unsound Horse and others

Are we ready for this? I have alot of doubts.

In the name of art? Maybe.
Degrading the wom en species? Yeah..
-------------------------------------------

This lady is indeed unsound.

-------------------------------------------

Good restroom news for ladies!
Diploma in Restroom Design anyone? :)

-------------------------------------------

I used to think that Matthew McConaughey is quite attractive, but his public image is getting too rugged for my liking. Sexiest Man? I dun buy that. I'll vote for Brad Pitt anytime. Btw It's new to me that he's dating Tom Cruise's ex gf. Am i outdated or wat?

-------------------------------------------

Maybe MJ will someday be interested in our ladies toilet too? ;)

Save what face?

Edited on 17 Nov, 10:45am

I have this thing for Asian American films. Indie American ones also.
Especially this is a romantic comedy! A genre which i'm a big sucker for.. hah.

This is a bitter-sweet kind of love, with a happy ending. Yeah.
Love can be this sweet and simple, yes.

It's a bonus that the two leads look good too.
I came across a music video the show. Romanticca. If anyone's interested, I can forward the URL to you. Some R21 scenes.

I love this particular scene of both leads meeting each other with a fence separating them. With the disturbing fence blocking their views of each other, their eyes still poured the desire and closeness for each other, good acting ladies.

The Director's (Alice Wu) note:
"I wrote Saving Face as a love-letter to my mother. The character of Ma beings the movie as a woman with all major decisions in life seemingly made; at 48, she has lived a proper life and is now essentially just living to die. That she ultimately breaks with tradition and lives on her own terms is a truimph I wanted my mother --- and the world to see.

I supposed if there is one thing I am trying to say with this film, it is that no matter who you are -- Asian or black, gay or straight, young or old -- that everyone basically wants to love -- and that love can start at any point of your life that you want it to. I made Saving Face because I want my mother to know that it was never too late to fall in love for the first time. And that is not by doing things right, but by sometimes getting them wrong, that we launch the journey that allows us to come into our own."

Babe!

Something to answer your query last night :)

I'll be sucking 20% from you.

Positive Jitters!

Dear is coming over in about half an hour's time! Parents not in town, so she's here to be my alarm clock :D

Some things to settle before she come!
1) Pack house/room abit
2) Feed dogs
3) Clean up after them
4) Shower
5) Make sure house/room looks tidy

Arrrrghhh.... alot of things!!! Better get going man!!

More News Update

Since dear does not have time to read the news, i thought i might post some worthy news here, so that she can keep up with social issues.

This is a Good Move. After midmight tonight, all unregistered sim cards will be blocked when entering South Thailand. This is to curb attempts of triggering b om bs by HP, which was believed to be previously used by the terr orist.

This footballer, Arsenal defender Gael Clichy (i only know good-lookers like Beckham, Owen, Nakata, etc :D) suffers a bad fracture. He was lucky not to embarass himself further by letting things hang out. Nice pic taken though.. heh. It always amazes me how the photographers can be sooooo attentive during the whole game! Can you imagine looking through the camera viewer for the whole game!? With the other eye squinting all the time. Not a very eye-healthy activity in my opinion. O_o Definitely not for you dear. You have already master the beauty of O_o.

Trivial. Mr Goh will be on leave from 18-21.. hah. More details.

Car bomb trigg ered outside KFC restaurant at Pakistan :( It was the 2nd attacked on western fast food restaurant in recent months. Evil doings... Karma....

The Men Dun Get It

Woah next time there will be lesser grumbles coming from the MEN.

Honestly i feel very fortunate to be not a man~
It feels so much more beautiful to be something with curves! Instead of edges, budges and protrusions... bleah!!! A w om an's body is so much more nicerdun you think?

Disillusioned by me n ! I can't accept the fact that men make mistakes, i can't. If you commit one, too bad, it's end of the game for you. But in my world, it's ok for women to do so, they will be given a 2nd chance. I know they'll do it right someday. But on the contrary, i'm mostly surrounded by male counterparts in school and in the workplace. Maybe that's why i remained usually high-spirited. Cos too amused by men's silly doing le!!

Perhaps similarly to some egoistic male, females are merely "vases" in the male dominated society. In my world, the males are similarly vases. I do admit i'm quite a feminist. There are good ones out there, just very little. Most are just insensitive, smelly, bimbotic, rough, dumb. The few good male friends i have, are mostly attached or gay. These good men are the minority. Therefore I'm unable to change my own view of the majority of them. There are more black sheep rouges than gentlemen out there.

Something to relate. A real life example taking place beside me now. I'm attending a lesson on M S Access now, and this guy beside me is not able to execute some commands, and he's throwing his temper on the keyboard, mouse, chair, table, etc.... can't stand it.

OUR big days!

Finally let my dear see the website le... hehee.. stressful wor like tat!!!

Let me see... hmm i've miss out quite alot of updates since the last time I blogged!!

Dear's birthday, my birthday, our wayang experiences, etc!

Dear's Birthday
I was very busy that week, and even the week before that (prep), therefore alot of my initial plans were ruined :( Therefore only had a simple celebration.... One night before dear's big day, I drove up to her house after my OT, and surprised her with cakies, not one but two!! Hehe... cos both looks nice... so i bought two slices loh... had quite a difficult time trying to lit up the candle at the carboot.... hands were shaking!! I made an excuse telling her that i wanted to give her something and went off to the car boot.. heh....

Then I gave dear the decoy present... a Samsung HP charger.. keke... wanted to trick her into believing that this is her birthday present! She seemed ok with it leh... alamakz... then i gave her the REAL thing.... a phone she's been eyeing!!! Hope she likes it.... rang alot of places and they do not have the stock.... luckily, in the nick of time, i'm able to get quite a good deal... price not bad and location is quite accessible!
(actually this HP is not the actual present i've planned for. The actual present has already been prepared months before hand, but i wasn't satisfied with the outcome (colour) of the product, luckily dear also expressed interest in the phone... so... just nice!)

Dear then accompany me go eat... think i haven't had dinner yet... hee... thanks darling... MUAKZ!!! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Very happy to be able to spend birthday with you!!! This is the first and very memorable!!! MANY MANY MORE TO COME!!! yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Then on dear's actual big day, I left a voice message for her :) with a song (Zhi4 Shao3 Hai2 You3 Ni3) "At Least I've Got You" with a simple voice message by me... heee....


My Bird Day
My babe has booked me since many weeks ago! Telling me to keep the day before my birthday free. I have an advanced booking! I remembered i kept pestering her to reveal to me where she's bringing, whether there's any staying over or a need to dress up or wat.. hehe. Dear brought me to a rather nice hotel along orchard road. and the rate is rather affordable for its accessible location and room comfort!

I volunteered to drive, since dear must have spend quite alot on this room. We met for lunch at.... erm.... forgot where le. Some foodcourt? HMm... Then we went back room to have a little afternoon rest. Enjoy the comfort of the room mah... it's really nice! the bed, the aircon, the pillows, the comforter, the mattress.. most important of all, of course, my companion lah.

Dear went to get changed into her orr orr attire. And after she was changed, she came out of the loo and exclaimed to me to see something in the loo, i thought she wanted to point out a dead cockroach to me or wat.

When i stepped in and look to the direction she wanted me to see, I saw a nice nice Sara Lee cake with 1 lit candle on it......... silly baby... hehee... so unexpected.. hahahaa.... so she has already achieved the 'surprise' effect for me liao. I made a wish at my sweet command, and got a hug. Idiot baby. Hehee... but thanks lah... BIG BIG hug!!

During our short rest, dear was quite excited where to bring me for dinner. Are we to go to the expensive restaurant at esplanade which serves hawker food in a glamourous setting and style? Dear was quite determined to bring me there cos i've expressed interest to eat there once. Thank baby, for bring so attentive, even though sometimes i utter alot of nonsense. Ya lah.. must have been hard on you to filter the rubbish i say :D

But alas.. we couldn't find the restaurant. Was it Al Dente? We couldn't be sure and the staff aren't really attentive to us, so we left without making sure.

We then try to think of another location to satisfy our very famished tummies. THis!! Cos we once saw a lady there eating a plate of scallop-resembling food.... Our weakness.... We ordered alot of things man, Egg with crab meat, veggie, fried rice, dumplings, and a meat i think? Woah... bloated. Good service and good food! Yeah Beijing La Mian! And not overly crowded also :)

We were so bloated, so have to take a stroll walk back to our car, while enjoying the seabreeze and crowd.

Got alot of pressies from dear... and in batches one somemore!

1. A very chio and full of thoughts sunglass. COs not many sunglass can fit my face cos my nose too low le! my babe must have spend alot of time ba!

2. A self-made booklet that contains information on BKK, all researched by dear :) Very nice and memorable.

3. A handmade car decal, with images that only we will understand! :)

From your many gestures, it can be seen that you have put in alot of thoughts and effort. this is my 1st private birthday with you, and i totally love it!! Hehee.. got so many surprises one!! I still have a gift for you which was prepared in advanced for ur big day one.. but decided to give you at a later date! Hope you will like it.... cos i spent lots of nights doing it one! Never put in so much time and efforts in an item before ok!!! :D

Restless!


A random pic... because I'm feeling on top of the world :)

EJ & DF - Wedding Bells

A site dedicated to the both of them!

EJ's 58 and DF's 43 and they're getting married... how sweet can that be! Moment of impulse? I strongly doubt it. They've been together for 15 yrs, tat's something to pop a good champagne for.

News like these do cheer me up and inject flowers and rainbows into me. I hope it does the same to you too :)

An article sometime back about them.

Cheery day - 2nd runner up

My shoulder is aching again, but the good news is, my ocassional sharp pain in my right wrist has disappeared!! After dear massaged for me in the car just now, the pain is now gone! Yeah!!

Let's see wat we did today. I attempted to meet Dear for lunch, even though i didn't know her exact whereabouts and dun know what time she finishing her haircut. I went to her house thinking that I've already informed her via sma. Who is to know that the sms didn't get sent out!

Luckily dear is willing to meet me for lunch instead of heading to her mama's place as planned. Whew. We proceeded to have Zhu Za Noodles @ the HDB block opposite Si Ma Lu Temple! I've been promising dear for that since before te BKK trip!! FINALLY fulfilled my promise liao!! For pple who's interested, it's really good if you like pig's organ. The aunty boss does it really good! The soup, the organs, all bagus.... interested parties leave a comment! :D

We went to Serangoon to collect this little coffee maker which my mum redeemed from SingTel.

Then it's off to Bishan! For the big shoW!!! I must say their performance is rather good... but the other teams were better. For every stunt that the teams perform, my heart skipped a beat. It's very thrilling and full of power!!! Was quite touched with their professionals as well, especially the champion team. They always maintained a wide smile and confident eye contact with the audience. This kind of confidence, charming. Of course, they have their very powerful potential in the real deal itself, with the well-co-ordinated stunts and dance steps. One idiom: Tan4 Wei2 Guan1 Zhi3!

Dear was saying it's a good thing that we didn't join in this year, if not we'll be feeling MORE down than last year, after the competition. Which i must admit i agree wholeheartedly. Haiz...

ZJ, Y and both of us went for a sumptuous dinner thereafter.... seafood!! Hehee.. dear and me seemed to be eating for revenge, for the lack of seafood we failed to have in Thailand. Hehehehee....

Ok ba... me tired liao... it's 0135hrs! Happy Sunday Morning Dear!!
Regarding the question I asked you.... You have yet to reply.... i hope you are asleep le.... Muakz.... i love you lots.... even if you choose not to believe me... i still love you... Good the night!

Ego?

It's downright disgusting to the bones how some pple add tasteless pictures to their friendster profiles. Well done. It has certainly given me a good amount of nightmare. I still get the shudders whenever I think of it. *Vomits*!!!

To my dear: Though there is nothing much I have to offer; not as wealthy as you, not as career-accomplished as you.

What i have is just a heart, with all its love for you. And my companionship for as long as you desire. And a monkey to cheer you up when you are down. And a soul who's so dependent on you for nourishment...

It does seem so little.... maybe this is how some pple feel when their other halves are more accomplished than them? When days are bad, these feelings are be quite a blow. One of my insecurities :( Not a big one though...

A fruitful saturday

Thank you for breaking the ice just now baby. I'm so clumsy with words, that everything i asked yearns only one-word answers. You really have your way in livening the atmosphere and in "suaning" pple intelligently sometimes.. haha.. till now, you still captivate me with this silly attractiveness of yours :D

But then again... wat is the outcome of this episode? It seems like it's going under the carpet again. No conclusion, no ending? Or is there?

I hope you let me hold your hand tightly like we did in the car just now.... i will refuse to let go if you allow me...
I am willing to be your hand massager as well... lifetime services provided for.

Btw you asked me why i cried that night at Bangkok. I was very overwhelmed by the closeness we had. Everything seemed so good and wonderful with you so close beside me. Your body warmth, your breathing, your face against mine. Everything feels like heaven, and i feel like the most fortunate person on earth, i really do.

My tears just came flowing down. Have you ever love a person so much that you dun wan activities with her to end? That was how i felt. I didn't wan anything to end. I feel so lucky in love that i just dun wan to let go of you. Tat's why I suddenly hugged you tightly and ask you to hold me back tightly. But when you didn't, I thought you didn't want to. Tat's why i felt abit sad. But it's actually that you didn't hear me... haiz.

It's more of happiness that my tears poured. I just feel very blessed when we have such intimate and a quiet time together. I feel very safe with you, someone i can trust, nothing between us. The closeness of our bare bodies somehow enhance the feeling of trust. I love the feeling of your bare skin on mine. It's definitely something more profound than a sexual feeling. It's the unexplained of close connection that I really love and cherish alot..

I'm sorry if i scared you with my tears. BUt i do have the tendency to do that when i'm happy. It's definitely not the 1st time i've cried in bed with you. BUt probably it was usually too dark for you to notice my tears.

I love you dear..... I know this phrase is misused too often already. But i really do.

Hoping to correct this saturday

Is it PMS? Or am I deteoriating in behaviour as a human being?
I never seemed to do anything right.

Lousy lousy lousy..... other pple seems to be so appreciatively of one another at all times, it doesn't seems to happen to me. Fortunate couple. Although i must admit that this gesture seldom happen in the real world.
But it's really nice to be surrounded by pple who can think this way dun you think?

Going to watch a performance @ Bishan later. Hope everything goes on fine and safe.

Look like it's a little war between dear and me... haiz. I wish you open up to me more. If you have choosen to be with you, why is it that you r unable to let go of your insecurities, let down your guard, and let me go inside your heart. I not only wan to be the one to share your joys with you, i too want to share your downs with you. But it's difficult for me to share your feelings if you won't let down the walls of your heart. Just speak freely lah.

If 2 closest pple can't evern speak freely to each other, if the words they say to each other have to be "packaged" nicely, how can they be considered close?

There shouldn't be any distance or masks in between, likewise there shouldn't be a need to "mask" words to make them sound nicely.

I wish we argue heatedly sometimes, instead of going through the silent war. At least thoughts and feelings are conveyed and misunderstandings are straightened out. Silent war? ".................." Zero understanding of the episode.

Till then, i'll be a big fat glum face..... :(

what happened? :(

It's a bad start to a Saturday morning. Sometimes when some things happen without your knowledge, is it because that i'm slow and stupid and not sensitive enough? Do you ever wonder and scratch your head till it bleeds?

Grrr... it's one of those days again... uncontactability sucks... being denied of the truth sucks... :(

Just when you thought i was not coming back...

i'm so screwed!

1) I'm still recovering from the after-effects of release after 3 days of constipation. My axx still feels like it's on fire.
2) Have yet to blog about my babe's big day(!!!!!)
3) Have yet to blog about my big day(!!)
4) Have yet to blog about our recent thailand trip (yeah! tired & fun trip, but it's a first with my dear!)
5) start blogging!!!!

my memory is failing me fast... damn it... i have ever fast fleeting thoughts and topics throughout the day, but once i get seated in front of the com, *empty, air, vacuum, plain, sucked dry*!!! only 25.... but yet.... haiz worrying :(

currently having alot of stale grumbles in me, about my dad mostly... haiz. nobody said it's easy to live with another person, i hope i learn from his not-so-nice behaviours, and i shall not commit his mistakes in future.
