Bravo Miu Miu

Finally, i filmed a super short clip of one of my winterwhite. As clever as it is, it's intensively trained. Gone were the days whereby we often had to worried if it suddenly go out of its home, it would go missing like how it was few weeks ago. I supposed once bitten twice shy, MiuMiu is showing more determination than ever to learn the skills of regconising its own home. Bravo MiuMiu! Love him Lots!!

Micheal Clayton

A super boring movie. Thankfully, i need not pay for it (got it free from SAFRA movie club). A very typical movie with a very typical story plot and worse of all, it's draggy. The whole movie revolves around this 'commentator' telling what is happening etc. And this story is all about fraud, cheating, silencing the person who knows the secret, and eventually good trumiphs over evil. Gosh..Luckily, i slept through this boring movie. Watching such movie is torturing...Wonder how the others in the theater feels paying 9 bucks on a Sunday afternoon to watch this movie.

Dream Hair and 'I Am Legend'

Seeing Dear's new hair, i wanted to colour to my hair as well. I want to highlight my hair, i want purple hair. But it's almost impossible. Right now, other than black hair, i can only have white hair. After i ORD, i doubt i can have my dream hair as well, i'll probably lose my chance of getting a proper job if i have that.

Watched I Am Legend. A very nice movie. Finally Will Smith movie had hit success again. It's a long awaited wait i suppose. Very nice story plot. Hardly has any movie focus only on one actor, laving away lead actress etc. The usage of flashback on this movie is simply terrific, however, i thought that the flashback didn't ended very well.

The 'vampires' is so cool and when it comes to the part whereby he sacrifice himself for the world, it's kind of touching. But i suppose that's how legend is born.

Random Thoughts

I'm so hungry now. 24 hrs ago, i'm still craving for something real nice. In fact, my stomach's already filled with nice food and still awaiting more. The frog leg porridge, the dim sum, the oyster omelette, the soya bean milk and the you tiao, ALL SO YUMMY. How often do i get to have such a sumptous supper, RARELY. I certainly hope that would happen again. I would agree to any supper invitation from now on. Forget about growing fat. Life's too short to be bothered by too many stuff.







Saw the gigantic wheel ferry...It's huge and especially nice. It would be romantic for a ride, one round or two i think, perhaps i'll go there to just get an experience, at night of course.

Started playing Call of Duty at last. It's a game that got my addicted, but seriously at the wrong time. I have to control, for the sake of achieving good results for my exams.

Man Utd lost. I can't believe it. I simply can't. They lead, then drew and eventually lost. What is this. Why can't they just hold the lead? I very much wanted to blog about this match but the mood just isn't right. I'm disappointed.

Friends Forever

It feels good to meet back your old friends. But at the same time, it feels bad knowing how much you've have neglected them. Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life.

Friendship: a building contract you sign with laughter and break with tears

So much had happened during my absence. YL's leaving in like few days time. I could literally sense the reluctance of him to leave everyone. But i'm sure it's a decision he find it hard to make as well. Reading Xia's blog even made feel for everybody. No wonder everybody so touched upon the guestures of YL and of course, sad upon his departure. It's great i still had a friend like him and perhaps my well wishes is the best i could do at this point of down after being such a let down.

Mild's intending to leave as well. Oh man, everybody's leaving. It's like why is everyone's leaving? I know the reason but this question will still pop up eventually.

Lots of emotions running through last night. Especially when they starts to talk about stuff which i don't know much. I was filled with regrets. I couldn't bring out a smile. But i'm really still glad that i'm still able to hang out with them. I hope that will be the case as well.

Peng's still the whacky one who's always doing most of the talking, or rather commenting. Funny as always. It's never bored with him around. Perhaps, i would have even appeared to be bored to them. I can't blame that pathetic look on my face when my stomach starts upsetting me. The pain come and go for the whole night.

Went Geylang for supper after much difficulty getting around. Frog Leg Porridge, Dim Sum, Soya Bean Milk and You Tiao. Yet, Mild is still hungry. She's always hungry, hasn't change any bit at all. She told us about her plans, i'm so envious of her. It's something i'll never be able to do.

Everybody has their plans...everybody seems to have a beam of light in the future ahead. Where's mine? I'm sure i have it as well...it's just that mine is very very dim.

I promised i'll try to make it to every outing they have and i seriously hope i could do.
To me, Friendship is like a sweet responsibilty, and never an oppourtunity. It's hard to come by and easy to lose it. Cherish will be the key..........

Man UTd Continues Winning Streak

Man Utd did it again. With no surprise. I expected a win anyway, but this 4-0 big winning certainly made my mood much better.

Park Ji Sung is back at last. After missing out in action for months, i'm seeing him on TV, live! And once again, i'm seeing Saha in the starting 11. Tevez's not there, so is Ryan Giggs. I thought Nani was a surprise inclusion. As usual, he proved to be a bad bad buy. He's still isn't performing. From dribbling to positioning, he did it all badly. Perhaps the pressure on him is too great, so much so that everybody's comparing him to C.Ronaldo. But that's soccer, that's soccer in England. Compeition's everywhere.

Wes Brown, certainly amazing tonight. His passes, defending and assisting was great, specially the one which led to Rooney's goal. Great eyesight on the through pass which led to Rooney good positioning and with him collecting the through pass, he gently shot a low shot past the goalkepper. 1-0 to Man Utd.

Rooney out of the sudden, appeared almost everywhere on the field. This time round, assisting Saha. Saha hid himself behind a defender before sensing a cross from Rooney. He ran in front with surprise and sprang a flying kick from Rooney's cross and slot if away. 2-0 to Man Utd.

Throughout the whole of first half, all direct freekicks were all taken by C.Ronaldo. I used to curse him for being a bad freekick taker but today, he proved me wrong, totally all wrong. All his freekicks today were shot on target with the last one being a wonderful goal which even got Sunderland's Goalkepper, Gordon, stunned. 3-0 to Man Utd.

Man Utd players entered the tunnel into the dressing room in high spirits. Second half was a tough fight. Either side had their chances. Sunderland was still with their shaky passes with Man Utd holding out well.

Finally came the controvesial judgement. Nani fell to the ground, with the camera replayed, i thought it wasn't even any physical contact on him, perhaps it might have been a dive from Nani as well. But referee points to the spot and it's Man Utd 2nd penalty in 2 matches. Coolly, Saha slotted it away and made it 4-0 before the whole match ended with Roy Keane future in jeopardy.

Once Bitten, Twice Shy

There goes the chance again. But it's ok. At least a lesson learnt. Perhaps it's not even a lesson, just a realization. I'm promised one more chance before this year end. Come Friday, i'll be the happiest man. One year plus, i didn't realised how much i've missed until recently.

I'm not sure how it can happen but it did. Perhaps i hold too much hopes, which i shouldn't even did at all. I should have more or less expected that. Things has chance since long ago. I stubbornly refused to realise this fact. I know where i stand now. Chance given and not accepted.

What can i say? I had enough? It's not as simple as how i wish it could be. Perhaps, it's time i move on. I've many others who's supportive and actually made me realise my existance, so there's seriously no point dwelling.

I'm glad that before anymore disappointment is to be made, i stopped it. No more of such incidents. Once bitten, twice shy. For now, i'll be mindful. Appreciate whoever's appreciative of you. It's all inside my mind now, deep inside..

Finally, Mambo...NO MORE

Mambo's tml. I'm happy. I'm still crossing my fingers. Hopefully, i'll be able to hit the dance floor, drink a few drinks and get high.

Gamer-to-be

I'm hooked on Juiced 2. Someone helped me...i can't stopped playing. I'm playing at a rate which even Dear was being neglected. Games are harmful. I've so many games coming up - Call of Duty 4, Company of Heros, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, Need for Speed Prostreet and World in Conflict...oh.....i'm back to be a gamer soon....

Merry Xmas

Merry Christmas..HaHaHa.....Christmas should be Hahaha, why should it be Hohoho? All because that's why Santa Claus laugh?

Christmas celebration was great. Met up with them again. Everything went as planned. Everything was enjoyable, but still, i thought the celebration could be longer. It ended kind of too early....perhaps there's isn't really nothing more to do.

Dinner reserved @ Mastro Bristo was eventually written off by us. We (Me, Dear, Gav, Med, Don and Jon) were all turned off by the menu they have. They changed their usual menu to a menu created specially for Christmas. Not only the food doesn't sound pleasing, worthy and nice, it's also expensive. 28 ++ bucks for a set WITHOUT drinks. Only dumbos would eat there.

We changed our venue to a much better Hip Diner USA by Billy Bombers. a place with a very 'AMERICA' ambience. Perhaps some propaganda in play. But who cares, i'm just crossing my fingers, hoping the menu wouldn't be like what we faced earlier on.

Thankfully, when i flipped open, i see pictures of yummy food, food so familiar to me. Wahaa...after pondering, Hip Rooster was my choice. I copied Jonnie Girl! I regretted my choice anyway. Mushroom sauce spoilt everything. It was too creamy but the chicken was nice i must say. Had fun and nonsense over dinner..It's always so comforting to spend special occasion together.

Time to pay the bill. We collected the bill and ended up spending over 10 minutes odd calculating each person share. We calculate and calculate, in the end, the waiter persistantly asked us for it but we kept delaying. Finally, we came out with an amount and off we went. It was hilarious the way we put our money into that pool again and again. And no surprise, Gav was the founder of this 'hilarious' party.

Our next destination - Minds Cafe. I thought it's quite a good place to countdown to Christmas. When we reached there, all were present - Mun, JJ and Vicky joined in. Shortly, we started on the games.

All games were short but fun. Till one whereby we start forfeit for the losers. And yes, there comes a round where i'm a loser, along with Gav and Vicky. Vicky was chosen to choose a game for the next round whereas the forfeit for me and Gav was to kiss each other. GROSS enough. Being the kisser is tough, the one being kissed is even tougher. Eventually, i lost my 'virginity'. Oh man, but it's fun.

Another hilarious happening. Jon, the main actor this time round. We were playing this game whereby one have to describe what's on the card without mentioning certain words which appear on that card. Jon's first joke of the day : Jon said: 'I had an affair with the president of United States of America'. Jon's second joke of the day: He 'molest' himself.

Wahaa...i can't help laughing and worse, Gav's laughing got activated and all laughed. Jon's actions was funny....Jon saved the day....

We exchanged presents beforehand and i got a cool waterbootle from Gav. Thanks Gav..Nice Xmas celebration i had, thanks to everyone. I shall look forward to next year, eh, actually not next year, i'll look forward to next monday.

Sick On Christmas Eve

Sick! I'm still feeling sick. It's already Christmas Eve. I'm felt as though i'm racing with time. I've been filling my stomach with water, gallons and gallons of water, yet it all seemed to be of no effect. The flu medicine is only making me weaker and restless. I wonder, how am i going to spend the rest of the day later...ZzZzz

Man Utd 2-1 Everton

Man Utd did it again. This time round, against Everton. Everton has been amazing this season. Lying 6th on the table, Everton posed a certain threat against the unstable defence of Man Utd. Records don't count much as the match progresses. Cahill seems to keep confusing the heart of Man Utd. Their defence so sturdy that Tevez, Rooney and even C.Ronaldo had difficult getting past. Worse of all, Referee flashes cards out from his pocket as though it's free.

I thought he was rather harsh. Man Utd scored through C.Ronaldo with him using his same old tactics and skills, getting past opponents before finding himself near the centre of the outside of the penalty box before attempting a curling shot which flew past T.Howard.

Not long after, Cahill scored. Heading the ball from a flying cross from the left, it caught me. I was shocked. I didn't expect the lead to be equalized so soon. Disappointed but hopeful at the same time.

Match was even all the way until the 80+ minute, i thought a draw is going to be decided. Giggs dribbled into the penalty and was brought down. PENALTY! Alright man, when the referee pointed to the spot, i knew it. Man Utd is going to wing and sure i was spot on. The game ended with Man Utd being the victor, closing up gap with Arsenal. Alright..All Hail Man Utd

Xmas is coming and The Warlords

Well, i'm blogging while doing my Christmas card for dear. I had totally no idea why am i so excited and looking so forward to Christmas. Perhaps it's because i'm celebrating with more friends, i've got more wishes and also, Dear's part of all this as well.

My most memorable Christmas so far was years ago where i celebrated at Chimes. Tml will be celebrating in advance in town. Crowd is expected but i seriously hope it's not going to dampen my mood for all this. I want to count down for Christmas, plus the gift exchange and prezzie from Dearie. So many many things...

How i wish tml aren't a working day. Well, half a day indeed but still, i still have to wake up early in the morning.

I felt i'm more serious in studies. I took my studies seriously which i feel very proud of. I'm never going to let myself down again. Lesson on Friday really motivates me alot. All my hard work all shown to the lecturer, and within minute, my discussion with him with regards to my assignment ended. He seems pleased, me even more so. After this festive season celebration, it's exam already. I must really enjoyed myself again.

I'm thankful that i'm studying in a class and not like Dear, in a lecture hall. The bond you have with your classmates is certainly much better as compared to the ones you have with your so called lecture-mates.

Watched The Warlords on Friday. Erm, i presumed it's a nice movie judging by the way the director intended to potray it. It's a very nice movie with a fresh piece of plot. But it's definitely not a 5 star movie. Not one of my favourite as well. I'm disappointed with this show, perhaps i hold too much hopes on Jet Li and Andy Lau. Nevertheless, worth the money.

Canon Selphy C740


Proud owner of Canon Selphy C740. Finally i bought this compact photo printer. Well, although the printing resolution aren't that well, but i'm sure digital editing will cover the flaws. For the price i paid, i couldn't complain much. At the very least, i'm able to save some cost in terms of printing photos. Isn't it better to see a physical photo than a digital photo? Doesn't it feel safer to see your photos physically rather than sobbing over the crashing of your hard disk and losing your precious moments? I've solved my problem.

Regrets and Stress

Oh man. I missed it yet again. Why am i so unlucky? This isn't the first time. I almost step in that sacred place full of music and dance. Each time i was about to go in, something's bound to happen. Is it fated? I don't believe it. I give myself until end of this year, to be more specific, next wednesday. Mambo night on 26 Dec, anyone?

Submitted my IT assignment with regrets. I know i didn't do well enough. I don't really like this module, plus the lecturer of course. Instructions aren't specific. Anyway, i'm now certified Microsoft-Frontpage-Idiot. One down, one more to go. Tml's the deadline to submit the draft. I seriously thought i have the whole of today to do, but then, i was so wrong. I'm disappointed, sad and regretful. Well, it's ok. Time for me to burn my midnight oil.

Tried the 933 Golden Pillow for the very first time today. It was nice, but not as nice i expected it to be. The bread was baked well, skin was 'toast' to the right degree with the bread soft and tastes kind of sweet.

Christmas is coming. How i wish it's just tml. But haiz..I still have one guard duty this coming saturday. As long as there's a guard duty, any date after that seems so far away and long. I dread it. Presents are all about ready. Just need some wrapping and touch-up.

My birthday card is going to be due 2 months, yet Dearie hasn't give me. Last year, it was late. This year, it was even later. Where is it my Dear? I'm still waiting.

New ComputeR

I've been waiting for this very day for months. In fact, it was so reliving that i can't believe it myself. 1.04k for all except the CPU. Given these wonderful specs, all i can say is that, i'm happy. I'll be able to store more stuff, play more games, use more applications and most importantly, all at the speed faster than before.

Time to show off my wonderful specs:
- Intel Core 2 Dual
- 2GB ram
- Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
- Asus motherboard
- 320GB Hdd
- Super writer DVD-rom

Not to even mention about the cpu casing which look so cool as compared to my previous 10 year old cpu casing.

Deadlines

Stress! Assignment deadline's coming, much earlier than i even expect and realise. I'm lagging behind. I thought it would be much easier, given my knowledge in web designing. It turned out not to be so. I became dumb in front of a much simplier tool in designing webpage - Microsoft Frontpage. All those usage of Dreamweaver and manual HTML coding has all gone down the drain. I think i'll need to get a book 'Microsoft Frontpage for SUPER DUMMIES'. Started on it at last, hopefully, everything is going to be smooth when i submit my assignment on Wednesday.

It's a sunny day today. All the past few days of rain was enough to dampen every of my days. Let's hope it's a good sign and it will carry on. Perhaps it's also because, it's the 19th mth anniversary for me and Dearie. All the previous arguments, quarrels, unhappiness shall cease from that very day.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DEARIE!

At last, i took the initiative to study with my friend, and certainly it proved to be helpful. Dear finally got her point through to me. Now i fully understand how is it like to have someone whom know what being taught to study with you.

It's Triple Dates on Saturday. Wow...haa..It's never bored with them around. Just days after the chalet, we meet again. It's seems like old friends has gathered again. Watched 'Alvin and the chipmunks'. A extremely hilarious movie, a very nice comedy that i would recommend to EVERYBODY. Though it's only 1 and a half hour, but trust me, definitely worth the catch. I love their song so much and thanks to Gav, i'm going to get all of them from him. I'm going to catch those movies again.


Received my first batch of chalets photos from Gavian. More coming up. I'll blog about my wonderful chalet soon when all photos are being received.

PS: Man Utd won again and stayed on top of the table for 2 hours plus before Arsenal caught up with them and overtake them in the ranking table once again. Nevertheless, All Hail Man Utd.

Bitches Rot In Hell

How to be with a person when someone is trying to break the relationship of you and that person. Someone who is once a friend of mine actually tried to influence a person to cut off ties with me, all because she judge by what she heard, without any knowledge, condemn me to hell, mixing me with her failed relationship. Oh man, stop that bullshit. Things aren't the way it is, and even if it's failing, it's not just like how it had happened to you before.

Your royal status has earn you no extra mouth to bullshit around.

Love cannot be explained. I just can't figured out anything. How far would you go for your love? Would you go for your love in exchange to the strong friendship that you once had or even, currently having?

Worse of all, a love not regconized, is it worth all the effort? I don't mind all the ranting, i don't mind being there for you, but i can't stand the thought of having a 'fake' love. Few months down the road, what is it going to be? Still friends? How long can this last? Ever thought of that? Unless you are thinking of living for that moment, then i've got nothing to say.

Friend turned Foe?

What's the big deal? Losing a friend whom once so close to you? Think again. I can be nice to a person, but that doesn't mean nice i have to nice to you in the future. We human beings choose friends firstly based on intuition, first impression and feelings. Friendship only develop after contact and communication.

Yes, she may be good to you once, to the extent of even being the best of friends, but then, things don't always stay the same forever. Circumstances changes a person, sometimes, very easily i would say. Don't live in your past shadow. You owe her nothing. Don't fall into her trap, you are not a puppet.

Gossips kills? Gossip hurts? Not unless you think it does. If a person meant to hurt you, and you did just that, then she just got what she wants. Why listen to her bullshit and make yourself suffer or painful whereby she's there gloating away for your pain?

Friends can be a great companion in our growing up. No one can live without friends. But then again, know just who deserve to be your friend. I'm sure there's still friends who care for you.

Taxi Fare Hikes

Everybody's talking about it. Being so curious and concern, i unknowingly find myself landing into ComfortDelgro website. I began searching, wanting to learn more about this big fuss over this hikes. Instead of finding what i want, i found out something about about this corporation.

ComfortDelgro actually had their expansions overseas as well, as oh well, it quoted ' World 2nd Largest Transport Operator'. I was totally amazed by that. They had their operations over at countries like Australia and even China as well. Wow...they must have earned alot i though. Looking at their annual turnover, it's even more amazed. To think that they only provides such mild rebates for taxi drivers, and still claiming it's time they impose some of the 'needed operation fees' on consumers. Reason being, to ensure a smoother operation and fairer fare for all consumers.

Well, i'm in no position to judge. Well, let's talk about the hikes then. I'm agreeable to all except for two changes which i deemed too unreasonable. Firstly being the peak hour charge. From the originally $2 flat rate, it's going to be increased to 35% of the total cab fare coming Monday. How is that reasonable. What if a trip goes more then let's say 20km? The original flat rate would be just enough but the upcoming changes would be heavy on that consumer. Moreover, the longer the mileage, simply put it, already the more taxi driver earn. Second, the 20 cents jump instead of the original 10 cent. From 10 cent every 210km, it's going to be 20 cents for every 385km. And wait, that's only for mileage clocking 10km or less, after 10km, it's 20 cents every 330km. Wah, it seems pretty attractive package to be a taxi driver now.

Best of all from ComfortDelgro, they are going to remain the same rental rates of taxi to taxi drivers. That's of course, if not, they'll not only be earning from us but also the taxi drivers as well. But soon to be, it's seriously rumoured that the base taxi fare is going to be up to 6-7 bucks. Prepared for the worst as this goes on. Gosh......

PS: The media release was funny to even include the taxi fares of other countries to compare to ours in Singapore. How about putting those from Malaysia, India or even Thailand. Bullshit.....
(http://www.comfort-transportation.com.sg/PressReleases/Media%20Release%20on%20Taxi%20Fare(w).pdf)

Lies vs Trust

Have you ever lied? To your parents? To your other half? To your friends?
How would you judge whether a lie harms? Kills? Hurts?
What kind of lie would be consider a white lie?
Why actual explanation more than often could not cover the fake intention of lying?
Is lying really unforgiveable?

If just to lie to a person, there's so many things to consider, then one would really have to lie. At times, there's just a thin line between lie and trust. Lying to a person doesn't mean you are causing the person whom you are lying to to not trust you as much as before.

Sometimes, the lie isn't that serious, but it's because the explanation isn't that convincing enough to allow that lie to be pardonable, until it backfired and everything just worsen.

Right now, i don't know whether to proceed or move back. I'm left hanging in the air. Nothing is done. Nothing is said. I couldn't do anything now....Sadly....Trust does not need to involve belief in the good character, vices, or morals of the other party.

When will i be able to gain back the trust so i was told that it's lost yet i just couldn't believe and accept it?

Money Spendings For Festive Month

My pay finally arrived. My newly promoted pay plus my back-payment, adds up to an all time high. Have been receiving the old pay for a months consecutively and finally on 7 Dec, i got my new pay plus two months worth of pay difference owed.

So many things i want to buy, so many thing i want to do, so many people i'm treating. Treated my beloved mother and brother to a good meal of japanese food. Next, i'm going to fork out a sum to treat her (just like how she treated me when she got her pay rise few months back), and of course, not forgetting to set aside some for my dad's upcoming birthday.

Part of my new pay is going to go to the mobile phone which i recently bought happily. I am still considering whether to buy my 'Canon' compact photo printer or not, but then again, i still need to buy my new monitor for my upcoming new desktop sponsored lovingly by my dad. Money never seems to be enough, not unless you start to find money is a hindrance. (I bet Mr Bill Gates must have even used up his notes to wipe his butt after shitting).

Festive season is going to dig a hole into my pocket and wallet as well. Presents and feast is a must so such spendings cannot be avoided. As long as we enjoy this holidays season, everything goes.

If money can buy you happiness, will you?

Nokia N81 and Company of Heroes

Is Nokia N81 really that good? My wish to have own a couple phone with Dear seems on the verge of being dashed. Islandwide, Nokia N81 is hardly being sighted. It's so popular among smart mobile phone seeker. Because of the reasonable price, it seems a really good bargain. Starhub's offering 298 bucks for recontracting of normal plans. Oh cmon, that's much better and affordable as compare to other phones like N95, or even Sony Ericsson W910i.

But it's not difficult to see why. Its function alone is enough to make you wow. A 3G phone with Wilan, 2 MP camera (with flash), bluetooth, music and video player along with the soon to be launched N-gage games for all N Series phone, rumoured to be released end of this year, which is soon. For more information of this phone, go to this website http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n81-2084.php)

Please SEE: Anyone Who Knows Of Any Shop That Currently Sells Nokia N81, Please Sms / Call / E-mail / Msn me. Many Thanks.

Started playing 'Company of Heroes'. Definitely a nice game. It's been a long time since such a nice strategy game has been released. And even better, this game releastically display the play of real war which happen during our grandfathers time. I just can't wait to complete it. The next game to play after i get my new computer - Call of Duty 4!

Exams Results I

My leg's slowly healing, yet the memories of Sunday's run is still clear in my mind. When will be my next run? I feel like training myself gradually. Slowly pushing myself beyond the limits, getting just better and better. I think i found a new hobby. =)

Finally got back my results. After 2 pathetic months of waiting, i finally got it back. Slightly disappointed at it. I got A (80% and above) for my business management and B(between 70% - 79%) for my accounting. Well, perhaps that should still be the result that i should have expected. Next exam should be much tougher than this and i don't really expect myself to score that well. Nevertheless, i'll try my very best.

Aww...didn't get to catch Man Utd in action again yesterday. They won! I'm getting old i supposed. In the past, i could easily stay up till wee hours in the morning without feeling tired at all, but now, i just keep yawning at as the clock ticks on....i can't admit that i'm old....

Marathon Marks The End of The Week

Tuesday was Dearie's actual birthday. Took half day specially celebrated it with her, along with my mother and brother. At last, it was expected to be a happy for everybody. Finally it's her birthday, and i could still clearly remember a year ago, her birthday was spent happily. I'm always happy during such special occasions. Same goes for mum and bro, for they finally get to eat something 'decent' and nice! Hee..


At least, under the Starhub latest promotion scheme, i'm able to upgrade my handset without having to wait for my contract to end or even nearing the end. All thanks to my mother, being a hub club member. Well, i must say the compeition between Starhub and Singtel really benefits consumers under them. Promotions, freebies, discounts and stuff are always on the go to maintain the compeition between the two, so in the end, it's still a win-win situation.

I bought my Nokia N81 for 298 bucks, signing a two year contract as well. I'm been pondering on which phone to get and finally, i managed to make up my mind on it. I had to choose between Nokia N81 and Nokia N81 8gb. Comparing the two, either a fool or a 'in need of space' person would buy the latter. The difference between the two phone, a whopping $300++ and 6gb space. So would you pay $300++ for 6gb worth of memory? If yes, please let me know, so i can term you a fool, unless you are able to come up with a very good reason to rebuke my pathetic thinking?

My Nokia N81

I couldn't believed i switched back to be a Nokia mobile phone user after falling in love for years with Sony Ericsson mobile phone. Still not quite used to my new mobile phone, but certain, the functions and stuff has assured me i've made the right choice. Not only that, but the thought that i'll be having the same phone with Dearie just makes me excited..

Finally caught 'Hitman' on screen on Friday with Gavian, Mun and Don. It's been a long time since i last saw them. Exams's the only thing that has distanced us but not anymore, cos they are having their holidays now. Anticipation has got the better of me for this movie. I've been waiting for months for its release and time and time again, it disappoint me with its delay in its release date.

A very nice movie and nice plot. Parts were extracted from the game itself. Being a fan of this game series, i'm totally amazed by how they are able to convert part of the game into the movie lifeline. However, the female lead certainly spoils everything. There wasn't even a single girl in the game, perhaps those civilians i would say. Overall, not that bad for a game-converted-movie.


Hitman The Movie

Agent 47 (Timothy Olyphant) has been educated to become a professional assassin for hire, whose most powerful weapons are his nerve and a resolute pride in his work. 47 is both the last two digits of the barcode tattooed on the nape of his neck, and his only name. The hunter becomes the hunted when 47 gets caught up in a political takeover. Both Interpol and the Russian military chase the Hitman across Eastern Europe as he tries to find out who set him up and why they're trying to take him out of the game. But the greatest threat to 47's survival may be the stirrings of his conscience and the unfamiliar emotions aroused in him by a beautiful, damaged girl...

Went to SITEX with Don on Saturday. And oh gosh, the crowd was expected but still, i wass shocked at it. I literally had to squeeze throgh every human being there. Lots of new and cool gadgets. Hoping to catch some good deal but i failed. Thinking that it's only one hall, it wouldn't take long to complete a round of it. But i was so wrong. Time didn't allowed me to fully cover the whole hall. Bought a AntiVirus program - PCcilin and almost bought a compact photo printer but i didn't because of the long queue.

Past 2 marathons i've attended warn me of the dire consequences of not having enough sleep just before each marathon, yet yesterday night was much worse. I slept only 2 hours at Jon's house, before we could actually rush to take a cab down to hope onto the shuttle bus to bring us to the venue.

It's my first ever 21km marathon. My target 2 hours and 30 mins, and hopefully, aiming not to walk as well. Well, the first few km was smooth and steady. I jogged with Gavian all the way until 8km whereby i lost him. By then, he was already far behind me. I'm glad that i've finally broke my personal best by continously jogging without stopping. Previous record was 7km continously. As i run towards the 12km mark, i began to feel that pain on my knee. It's something i've never experienced so obvious and strong before and i kept wondering if it's normal. But time and time again, you get to see other runners stretching themselves and stuff, i i just beared with the pain and carried on.

At 18km, the pain was really unbearable. I stopped and walked. While walking, guilt and disappointment filled my mind and heart, then was when i tried pushing myself to run again. By then, i can literally feel the pain and really feel as though my feet wasn't on the ground, it's near numb. As i knew, the moment i started walking, i would have this mindset set to walk whenever i think i want or need to. It was so tempted. Time and time again, i pushed myself. It's already 2 and a half hr and i'm just one km plus away from the finishing line i presume. And so, i really push myself and force the little amount of energy left in my body, bite on the pain and run. I realised i was motivated, knowing that finishing line was near. I was running the faster than before, and eventually sprinting myself across the finishing line - the time marks 2 hours and 39 mins. Although i failed to meet my target, but i'm already very satisfied and proud. I collected the finisher medal with a sense of achievement. I can't believed it myself that i actually completed the marathon, and even broke my personal best by running continously 18km without stopping.

The pain was strong. It was near unbearable. Even as i'm typing away now, but come to think of it, it's good training for me. And seeing those results of those winners, i'm really amazed of what human body can do. They are really very very good runners. They run as though there's no tomorrow, not only that but also that they ran as though they weren't even breathless. Gosh....

Yea yea..i know it's late. I've been missing in action due to unforseen circumstances. Her birthday was certainly spent well,not as fantastic but definitely fun-filled.

First up, K Box. Time for me to sing my throat off. Same goes for Dearie. We missed KBox, we missed how we would sing to the ryhtm and tunes, with me going off tune at times as well. Not forgetting the lunch provided as well. Not that bad considering the price being offered.

Managed to surprise Dearie with a bouquet of pink rose to her. My very first pink roses to her. I'm not sure if she's really being caught off guard and was surprised by my secretive actions, but it's obvious she was smitten with the roses right after she got it.

We had our dinner @ Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao. The La Mian, the xiao long bao and stuff, all so yummy. Oh ya, we took a nice neoprint as well. But then again, we don't really likes the effects and shots available given to us. Still, it turned out nice, perhaps it's just us.

Once again, Happy Belated Birthday Dearie.

2 guard duties in a week is no easy feat. Especially yesterday's duty, totally sucked all the energy available in me. Nevertheless right now as i'm typing, i fully understand that kind of special feeling that i had missed so much of, a feeling of which one is so tired yet happy. I felt as though i had just been through the moment of my life.

School's assignment has been briefed quite well and detailed already and i guess it's seriously about time i set my fingers on the keyboard, dong my own research and engaging in hours of hardworking effort that would get me good grades. It may seem i'm not serious in my school work at times, but i realised that the moment i decided to take up this course, it's already another me. A 'me' that has mature from those childish thinking that i used to have when i'm still schooling in the past. I seriously know its importance and certainly know what's i'm doing. Right now, i chose to study smart instead of hard. So, i still believe in the way i'm studying. Results is the best proof and hopefully it won't failed me when my first two papers' results is releasing in one week time.

Celebrated Dear's birthday earlier on. Even though i was already shagged, but still, i look forward to it. All the tiredness was gone the moment i got myself prepared for the day. I just can't wait to see the response from her face when i passed her those presents i bought specially for her. And true enough, her reaction upon seeing those presents just melted my heart and touched me. I'm glad i did made her happy and we both enjoyed our day.

Watched Hero. Oh man, i would give up that seat to anyone who's crazy for that so called 'handsome' hunk in the show. I seriously don't know what the hell is the show all about. I spent nearly half the movie sleeping away only to be woke up by dear time and time again. I tried forcing myself to watch the movie but despite the fact that i was woken up and tried to continue watching in view of that $8.50 paid for that movie, i failed. I just fell asleep unknowingly. That's how lousy the show can be...

Too shagged to continue this post any longer....i shall continue tomorrow....

Thanks to Dearie. She knew i was sick, yet, she took up the time, travelled all the way from her workplace to my house just to visit me, take care of me, shower me with all her love and concern that i yearned so much for after not seeing her for 2 days.

Her birthday is coming, i shall repay all her love and make her the happiest girl on earth that very day.

Hypocrite and Idiot

How hard is it to say the word 'plain'? To many, it's just another word. To me, it's even a greater word, a word which can spare me from feeling yucky and allow me to have a great meal in peace and great taste. But then to one, it means more than it could actually mean. To this very special one, it's troublesome. Is it so difficult to order a burger and to have it plain? He claims it's troublesome just because i want it plain. All along, i thought he meant that it would be troublesome for the person making the burger, but big nono....he meant the one ordering would have to say an extra word of 'plain'. All thanks to him, i had to savour in my own cup noodles, while he still has the cheek to offer me his pathetic full of shit burger. Please, hypocrite don't last, much less a person like you..Bullshit.

Oh man, that damn 'retiree' in my office is getting more and more irritating than ever. I'm seriously considering teaching him a good lesson. Now, i'm not the only one who detest this idiot, almost everyone does. All thanks to his 'good' upbringing. He claims that a person who is going to ORD soon shall have the special privillege of 'bullying' the other 'junior'. He started pushing all his responsibilities and duties to everyone who he can grab and find. He's even turning unreasonable as he thinks he deserved to be 'served and slaved' by all of us. But little did he knew, most of us, who has already know his famous doings, are clever enough to stand by ourselves and learn how to reject his 'generous arrow'.

Enjoyable Weekend

School assignments are starting to get on the way, it's high time i start digging into my books and the internet. I've never regretted taking up this course, although moments of temptation and tiredness did get into me, making me feel like skipping classes, but i'm glad my determination is strong. Lessons aren't boring, but it's interesting. Examples used by the lecturers is indeed explanatory and also interesting as well.

Dearie stayed two nights over. Great time we spent together these two days. Not even to mentioned the sumptous meal which i just ate moments ago. A whopping 146 bucks for a feast for 6 person. Simply yummy.

MiuMiu and Shoobing are just doing fine. Had their first bath of their life yesterday. I'm sure they love it, which makes them smells just like a fresh strawberry. Dearie and I are starting to love them more and more. Dearie was saying how sad it would be, given their lifespan of around two years to go to a 'much better place' without having any heirs. I seriously have the intention of giving them each a mate, but there's risk involved as well. So, i'm still considering carefully.

Tried cooking my very own 'Black Pepper Spaghetti' yesterday. I was not bad, as exclaimed by Dearie and Mum. I'm beginning to feel like a chef, haa..even though i very much wanted to be one. It's a totally self invented recipe that i came up with myself. Not too bad for a person who come up with his very own recipe isn't it.

Dear gave in today, giving up her VCD watching by accompanying me to catch a midnight movie which i very much wanted to - Beowulf. I didn't knew it was a animated movie, but although animated, parts of it seem so real. My first thought upon seeing the movie is that, 'oh gosh, tell me it's not an animated movie..i'm so going to be disappointed'. Thankfully, it didn't failed me. Certainly a nice story with plot of its own and fascinated me with the monsters which appeared through the movie. Certainly inspirational at certain part of the movie. I reckon there's going to be a part two which i'm going to catch it again, given how the ending ended.

I've decided to give up the thought of watching Saw 4, given the rating which i assume they are going to concentrate so much on the gore scenes that it's not going to give me the twists and surprises that i enjoyed so much during Saw 1 and Saw 2. Saw 3 had disappoint me utterly and so, i think i'll just give it a miss.

Guard Duty tomorrow...how i wish it never come...

First Pair of Hamsters Pet

Finally, i get to keep pets of my own. Bought it specially for Dearie, but then, they will be staying put at my house, giving me the highest authority to watch them grow. Welcome to my home, Shoobing and Xiao Bai. One normal winterwhite (Shoobing) and one pearl winterwhite white (MiuMiu). They were brought into the this world 3 weeks ago, and 3 weeks after they were born, they found new home. I took the responsibility in watching them grow and of course, together with me, Dearie and I will continue to keep them entertained, hoping to give them the best which we deemed best.

Both males, hopefully they would create a great bond and if by any chance, i'll find them a mate so that they can have their own offsprings as well. My intention to expand their living environment is still in my mind and hopefully it will come soon.

Here are some photos of the cute little ones...

Kelvin's Philosophy of Life

So many of us spend each day of our life searching for, or seeking the perfect or wonderful life that most of us wanted so much. But think again, 'a wonderful life' or 'life that you expected' is not simply a movie. If you have the answers you seek to make this wonderful life journey, if not, you keep seeking for the answers. For all its ups and downs and good and bad days, life truly is a wonderful journey, if you understand it is more about the trip then where it inevitably takes you. Along the way however there are "direction aids" that make the meaning of life a far more beneficial, spectacular, creative and pleasant journey. Don't spend a half life learning what the phrase ' its my life ' really means. Don't spend your time thinking why aren't your life aren't as good as the others or even compare your life with others. The mistake most people make about finding the meaning of life is searching for the answer instead of living it.

'Why does happiness seems out of reach?' A question that many might seem to ask themselves when met with the downside of life, be it for a short moment or a long period. Happiness don't drop from the sky. Happiness don't disppear just like that as well. It's whether you know how to create them and at the same time, cherish them. More often than not, we human beings are unhappy because we seem to do comparison in our lives. Comparing how bad our current life is as compared to life years ago, but one do have to understand the fact that human being age. During the process of growing old, there's several stages we have to pass. We can't be possibly smile at the age of 35 thinking that you are going to get a sweet lollipop once you get home. Different stages has different expectations, responsibilities and life as well. Each and every individual is different, therefore, comparing with others will only make yourself suffer and ask more 'whys'.

Contentment. It's something that seems to be far away from a person. It's not difficult to make a person contented with his or her life. Whether a person can be easily contented, it's very much dependent on the expectations on life of that person. Naturally, the difficulty of being contented rises along with the level of expectation. A child can be easily contented with a lollipop, whereas trying bringing it to an adult, it means nothing. Instead, a stable job is all that can keep that adult contented.

'Well, that's life' --> This sentence doesn't seem to hold much meaning for those who's already feeling pessimistic. In fact, this phrase means more than it seems. How we want our life to be, it's duly up to ourselves. The way we shape it, the way we do it and the way we achieve it, it's all dependent only on us. So no matter how much complaints we have, the earth still spin, plants still photosynthesize, human still shit. So why not, take the time and think how to make it only better. No use comparing others life, instead, we could use theirs as reference so as to make our lives a better one.

Finally, Nice Food in Camp

Never before i had such a feast in Camp, although not the camp i'm attached to, but it's already a very nice food experience for me. SFI (Singapore Food Industries) provided meals for all camps, and their food simply cannot make it. Their food never fail to have this weird smell whereby one hungry person is bound to lose his or her appetite after smelling it.

Today's food spread is due to an event, whereby it's attending by lots of high ranking officers. That explains the good spread of food, ranging from oyster omelette to breaded chicken wings to century egg congee...all yummy!!!

Day out with Su and Ball

Flu's acting up again recently. Must be too much indecent food, along with the harsh weather, it's certainly making a human being weaker than before. Don't know why, i feel so hungry again now. I want to eat something, but only junk food's around me. I got to curb, it's not easy, but i know i can.

Finally met up with Su and Fishball again. The last time we went out together, it's like many months ago. The feeling was great. Su as always, blur and funny. I intend to take this previous day on leave to do some shopping for Dearie's present as well. Sadly, stupid fishball has to dump his friends for his girlfriend. Never mind, leaving me with that tall Su. Two of us went to watch 'Lust, Caution'. Two guys to watch a R21 movie, sounds gay? Well, couldn't care much. I wanted to watch this movie badly that i couldn't find anyone to go with me, and so, Su became the scapegoat.

A rather normal movie with nice artistic display of directing of those scenes. The story plot was not bad, along with the cool actors and weird actress in it. Finally now i know how Shanghainese sounds.

At least, i completed the task of buying all of Dearie's birthday present. And also, one surprise done. Left 2 more surprise and i can slowly count down to her special day.

RollerBlade and 'Stardust'

ArgH! Why can't human beings born knowing how to skate, roller blade, cycle, cook etc etc. Why doesn't god want to spare us the pain of learning all the abovementioned skills/talents if you wanna call it? Perhaps, it's better an achievement to acquire those skills only when you experience pain and hard work after all the sweating, groaning from pain , falling down etc.

Tried roller blading for the second time in my life. Good experience. I'm gradually learning, apart from all the falling etc, i can confidently say i'm learning and progressing well, but if only there's someone who can guide me along, i'm definitely sure it would be much better. I think i even dragged poor dearie down by getting her to accompany me, causing her not being able to have her fun in her bicycle.

Watched Stardust today. The start of the movie was so bored that i actually fell asleep. Halfway through, i wanted to continue sleeping, but it's abit wasteful to spend 9 bucks to sleep in a movie theater. I forced myself to watch it and thankfully, it was the right choice. I didn't miss much and in fact, the movie started to rise to climax and that got me all sit up. A meaningful movie about love, life and stuff. Kind of more into fantasy to me rather than romance.

Tomorrow is the day. I'm going to buy Dearie's present!! Hopefully by tomorrow, i'll be able to settle everything. =)

Friday, November 09, 2007

Had my Teppanyaki dinner at last @ Wisma Atria with Dearie yesterday. I just can't seem to get tired of it. The tenderness of the prawns, the fragrance of the cooking and of course, not forgetting the garlic chilli along with the sauce to go with the main dish, which gets my tastebuds working doubly hard.

Feeling was great. How often do you get to walk along Orchard Road real slow, holding a ice cream in on your hand and really look around the facade of Orchard Road at your own pace. It's a good feeling, try it and you'll find it out for yourself.

Christmas mood seems to be filling up Orchard Road. Christmas decor is starting to appear in Orchard Road, along with gigantic Christmas trees. I wonder, how will my Christmas be like this year?

Went for my department's Cohesion today. Fun absolutely. Held @ HomeTeamNS, we had our fun @ LaserQuest first of all. In case you don't know, LaserQuest is a game whereby two teams are formed and they entered into the 'battlefield' which is a dark and messy maze with just a vest and a gun. So, the two teams will battle it out by hitting targets located on the vest. It seems easy, but when all the hiding, escaping and running starts, it's in fact very tiring. 10 mins is short because fun had just started but long because the running had you panting for breath.

They suggested play LAN games after that. I'm a total nuts when it comes to LAN Games like CounterStrike, Battlefield 1942 etc. Indeed, i stupidly followed them and got myself into a state of blurness. It's the first time i look and felt so idiot in front of a keyboard, not knowing how to play nor hit any buttons or keys. Well, the whole thing just got me irritated and i left PS myself for some fun of arcade games, whereby i achieved much more fun and excitement.

Finally, bought Dear's first birthday present. Can't wait to see her response when she received it. I'm eagerly anticipating for that day. I'm counting down....10...9...8...7...???

Devastating Trauma

It was devastating. I didn't expect that. Everything just came to me just like that. I took them in. I admit my wrong, i got punished, but somehow, i felt i got punished of wrongs which wasn't committed by me myself. Right now, i don't know how. It has become tramautising. There's so many things i still want to say, but i dare not. One thing leads to another. Tml is going to be bad. How am i going to spend it? I don't know. Perhaps it's time i find new hobby, go out with new people, find new games and stuff to do.

My heart is very heavy, but there's not cure for it, at least not for now. For the next few days, it's going to be unstable. I shall commit myself in order to keep my mind distracted. What to do....i don't know....die die die

Soccer Games Addict

Totally hooked on a new game - Football Manager 2008. My sudden interest in soccer games brings me back to where i used to be years ago, where i'm addicted to games like Winning Eleven, Pro-Evolution Soccer, Championship Manager, FIFA soccer. The latest releases came around the same time, and it just got my fingers again. First, it was FIFA 2008 on PSP platform, next, it was Football Manager 2008 which got my fingers itchy.

UOB Family's Day

It's a nice sunday. I kind of look forward to that very day, all because i'm going to attending a carnival, well, a so called carnival. It's UOB Family Day. I'm back to meeting my ex colleagues. It's feels good that after so long, some of my ex colleagues actually still regconise me. Of course, not forgetting Da Jie Jie (Yun Foong) and Xiao Jie Jie (Candy).

I suppose the group of people who will enjoy such carnivals would be those children. If i were 10 years younger, this would be a great place for me to have lots of fun, mainly because of those mini games. Dear and me went from game store to store to play games that seems so kiddish. Nevertheless, we go ahead and played. We weren't the only adults there. All those games made me feel like i'm a kid. Prizes were also meant for kids - sweets, notebook, cute ruler and of course, not to mention candies.

Entering the Carnival

Welcome to the Carnival!

Random

Watching this year's Subaru Challenge, i feel so tempted to take part in next year's compeition. But seriously, i know it's not easy as i thought. Just imagine, the standing under the hot sun for hours, the not being able to move your 'sticked' hand away from the car, even if your body is aching, feeling numb or in an awkward position. Worse of all, you get only 5 mins rest for every 6 hours of torture. But all these for a good prize - a Subaru car. Worth it? Not unless you win it.

Went out with Edmund today. Found a new pool centre. Nice area with good rates, but sadly smoky. It's located at the basement of Golden Mile Complex. Afterwhich, we went to PS for some arcade session. It's been a long time since i last went arcade. Of course, was there to play my favourite game - Virtual Striker. I realised that i'm finally losing my touch. I longer enjoyed the sort of triumph against challenger like i how i did before. Oh man, still, i'm enjoying the game

Man Utd drew with lowly Arsenal! The most painful thing is to lose a match at the very last minute, just when you thought it's going to be a victory for the team you have been supporting all along ever since the first whistle was blown. Disappointed truly but i have the utmost confidence that they are going to win the title no matter what. Way to go!

Where's my Games?

Games! I'm desperately in the need to go back to the times where i spent hours and hours in front of my computer and keeping my fingers busy among the whole of the keyboard. I've got this urge to play games. Games which i missed so much, be it latest releases or old classics. Bring it all on.

PSP has been my latest companion all along. So many games i'm waiting for. However, my computer couldn't cooperate. It couldn't support all the 'high quality and graphical' games that i'm asking for. Sadly. I'll just make do with whatever i have.

Games like Rise of Nations, Age of Mythology, Hitman, Call of duty are all still clearly one of my favourites. Not even to mentioned my all time favourite, SWAT. Thankfully, i managed to get hold of 'SWAT: Liberty Target' from my friend and it's one game more on my beloved PSP. Next up will be the highly anticipated 'Football Manager 2008'. I want to be a gamer again and i'm sure i can.

New Shades

My New Shades

At last, i bought my shades again. This time round, from Monsoon. They are having some sort of special sale. Pretty satisfied with it. Dear bought one as well.

Preparation for Dear's birthday is still ongoing. Slow but steady. I'm still coming up with more ideas. I'm just trying to be as professional as i can be in creating all those surprises. And also, still trying to shortlist several birthday presents for her. Gonna be super busy on 12 Nov - the day where i'm going to shop for her presents.

Another cute photo of a hamster. Here you go.

To Hell with Idiots.

Finally got promoted to 3SG. Well, i don't really care about the rank, just gimme the pay come on. Come Nov 9th, i'm going to get quite decent amount of money. Payrise..Yay yay yay!

With this rank, naturally my responsibilities increased. That bloody hell idiot is going to ORD soon and on his way to eat some shit. And worse of all, he's going to handover his rubbish tasks and shit over to me. I'm going to be the department in charge. Oh gosh. And WORST of all, he's intending to wash his filthy hands off whatever is currently on his hands and push everything to me. He's not even teaching me whatever i need to know as well. Sly and hypocrite fits his character perfectly. Oh gosh, why do god make me meet such a person? I'll just curse my way till he ORD.

He's not the only pathetic soul in the office. There's still mouth stinking SGT who laze around in the office. He work through mouth - in another words, orders around only, shooting arrow everywhere. Just because 'i'm within his boundary', i'm always being shot. Argh..when will all these people get a taste of their own shit. Shoo shoo shoo...to hell they go...

Birthday Celebration and Marathon

An eventful week had just passed. Certainly one of the best weekend i've spent so wisely and filling this year. It's not something i can forget easily. Good memories are kept with me, forever and ever. I had so much fun, surprises and excitement over the weekend. Good times always have to come to an end sadly, but still, the memories shall stay with me always.

Thursday
My heart was totally not there at work. It's the after work hours that i'm looking forward to. After work, i shall be freedom and it'll be a long weekend for me.

Watched Mr Woodcock with Dearie.

Scott stars as John Farley, a self-help author who returns to his hometown only to discover that his mother (Sarandon) has fallen in love with his old high school nemesis, Mr. Woodcock (Thornton) - the gruff, no-nonsense gym teacher who had put him through years of mental and physical humiliation.

A rather stupid show. But who cares, i didn't play for the movie anyway. Wahaa. That show really evoke my feelings. I feel like punching Mr Woodcock. While watching the show, i 'scan' through my mind, thinking of whoever i can think of at that time, wondering if there's anyone i know of the same character as Mr Woodcock. Such people shouldn't seriously be taught a harsh lesson. Physical hurt won't hurt them, only emotional turmoil and psychological pain.

Friday
The day i've been waiting for, after counting down the days, this day has finally arrived and i welcomed it with happiness and uncertainty. Rented car for the first time this year i supposed.

Mum and Dearie's the lucky passengers this time round. Lucky them. Hee, finally got the chance to bring them around. Oh yea, finally got to see my grandmother at last. It's been a long time since i last saw her, a year plus i think. It's abit hurting to see how weak she has become, but still, as cheerful as ever. Well, perhaps all because she finally get to see my face (yes, i know i hasn't been a good grandson). Afterall, i'm her eldest grandson.

I enjoyed the excitement of rushing back home and then rushing off the medical centre (don't you just agree dearie). =)

Doctor gave me the assurance that i'm recovering well. All i need is a few more months and i should be quite safe with my condition. Hopefully when i stopped the tedious intake of medication, the condition won't return how it was before. I've experienced once before already. It was bad and certainly hate it. I really prayed hard that i won't have to go through that again.

Birthday celebration was @ hotstones. A unique place with a unique method of cooking their food. We ordered seafood deluxe along with a special drinks. Lime Crush for me and Shirley Temple (Lime juice shaken with Grenadine syrup and topped up with 7-Up) for Dearie (just because the drink was named 'after' her, she ordered it..Wahaa). Their unique way of cooking the food is that they placed the raw seafood on a piece of stone and served. We'll have to so called 'grill' it ourselves. Well, the ambience is nice, the way of eating and cooking is nice. However, the food is just average and best of all, way too overpriced. We ordered all and end up paying 93 bucks for a meal which didn't even satisfied our stomach and tastebuds. Nevertheless, nice and good experience.


The mocktail is certainly sour!


Look at the nice ambience


http://www.hotstones.com.sg/

"Superbad" revolves around two co-dependent high school seniors (Hill and Cera) who set out to score alcohol for a party, believing that girls will then hook up with them and they will be ready for college. But as the night grows more chaotic, overcoming their separation anxiety becomes a greater challenge than getting the girls.

A super funny movie. Much much better than Mr Woodcock. I can understand why that rating. All those vulgarities, harsh words, funny sexy scenes etc.

Their graduation parties were so open and lively, unlike the ones we have in Singapore. Haiz, if only Singapore wasn't such a 'fine' country, we could have possibly more fun when we were still studying in our teenage years. It's funny to see how the guys in the movie can go to do anything just for 'SEX'.

We thought the night was still young and decided going for a spin and some really nice supper. Changi Village was up next. The fragrant Nasi Lemak really satisfied our tastebuds and stomach. Wanted more but i just had to control. I'm getting fatter...60kg is no joke.

Driving at night is just so different as compared to driving in the day. The headlights seems so cool when it's shining on the road at night, along with the amount of traffic on the road, i'm driving quite fast. The feeling is shiok. It's not difficult to see why accidents commonly happen only at wee hours of the night.

By the time we reach home, we already dead beat. We dozed off just seconds after we 'died' on the bed.

Saturday
Woke up damn early to fetch my family for breakfast. First time bringing my own family for breakfast. Never had such a nice breakfast for a long time. Bet Dearie is feeling the same as well.
My family celebrated my birthday that very evening for me. Everything just come on just like that. Good things happen and never stops. I felt so fortunate out of the sudden.

Not forgetting the presents Dearie gave me, and a very surprising 'hong bao' my mother gave me (she hid it in the plastic bag) and of course all those birthday wishes by friends (as mentioned below, hope i didn't missed anyone of you out cos if i do, do let me know and u'll get to knock my head for FREE).

Dearie was sweet enough to celebrate my birthday again with my family. Although she's tired after her school, she still came. Her sms made me feel touched, her presence made me feel fortunate.

Few more hours before my birthday ends. And there's another celebration, this time round by an incomplete Natural Objection. Only Donovan and Gavian was there. Jonathan was busy celebrating another 'birthday girl' birthday. Well, i won't blame him, because it's a girl..Wahaa...expected that anyway. We gathered for a while and thanks for the present dudes. Don's family even came out just before 12am struck to sing me a birthday song before i had my first birthday cake of this year.

By the time i reached home, it's already 12.45am. Nothing surprising but because the next day i had a marathon and i seriously don't want to go to the marathon like a zombie.

Sunday
Woke up super early and feeling weak, tired and restless. It was only 4.30am in the morning and i have to prepared myself for the Real Balance Real Run. We tooked cab there and spent a whopping 30 bucks on cab fare, before we watched the bus to Changi Exhibition Centre. Never knew such a big exhibition centre exist. Very nice and huge, well conditioned too.

The race started promptly at 7.30am and off i went, along with Don who ran 10km as well. Gav had to miss the race after waking up late and poor him who had to wait for us to finish everything which is around 2 hours. Jon started later than us as he ran 15km.

This marathon was different was compared to AHM. It's compeitive for all. When i started running, uncertainly filled my mind. All that was in my mind was wondering if i could complete the race within an hour. I tried not to stop. I keep telling myself not to stop and nicely pace myself and run.

I ran side by side with Don at the start. But i lost him soon and i'm running all by myself. 1km gone and slowly, it was 3lm and finally 7km. Amazingly, i didn't stopped for whole of 7km. It's certainly my personal best and i dared to say i'm proud of it. The sand obstacle however, forced me to put my leg to a stop. The sandy slope was so slanted that i had difficulty running, plus my lungs are working doubly hard, i just had to stopped. However, i ran after stopping for less than a minute. I supposed such marathon is good for training your determination and endurance. I didn't continued and keep telling myself not to walk so much.

By 8km, i was totally shagged. The hot sun took almost all the energy that i have left and got me walking again. On and off, i fought against the scorching sun and finally find myself sprinting the last few metres and compeleted the marathon with 1 hour and 11 min 4 sec. A result i must say i'm happy with, even though it wasn't my target. It's considered my personal best with that timing already.

The goodies bag was good, a shoe bag and quite a nice t-shirt, all by New Balance. They even had a New Balance 30% discount voucher inside. Time for me to get a new sportshoes, along with my dad. Seriously, i think i can run better if i trained myself more often. I got to prepare myself for the Stardard Chartered Marathon held on 2nd December which is 21km. I'm hoping to do much better this time round.

I was totally shagged when i reached home. I kept yawning throughout my own journey home. I slept for a few hours before i found myself having a bad headache after waking up. Legs were also aching as well. Still, i went ahead and met Dearie.

Finally, she sold her handphone for a mere 100 bucks. A handphone which originally cost so much more the price she sold is just so pathetic, just because it's of 'Samsung' brand. Those shopowners all mentioned how difficult and impopular 'samsung' phones are, and aren't easy to fetch a good price due to its low demand. So people, if you want to buy a mobile phone and has the intention of selling it in the future, ge either Nokia or Sony Ericsson.


Dear's getting her new mobile phone soon. Actually, we thought we could get the same phone and named it 'couple phones' but it don't seem possible now. I'm so disappointed!!!!!

Got home and had my 2nd birthday cake of the year. This time round, with my parents. They sung for me and mum bought a small piece of cake as requested by me, all because i'm not a cake lover, so that explains it.

My birthday cake


What's birthday without wishes?

Monday
Dearie had been rushing me to blog. Feels good to have someone wanting me to blog all those good memories that i had.

Bought my ankle guard to prevent further damage to my ankle. Seen a doctor but he proved to be abit useless just by prescribing my a few tablets and a stupid lousy cream. Hopefully, my pair of legs will be able to heal before i get ready for my next run.

I'm on my way to healing with this ankle guard

Feeling hungry? Never had enough of Old Chang Kee food? Thought their breakfast is the only time where they serve main course? Oh Oh OH!! You are so wrong, not long after Old Chang Kee introduce their breakfast meal at selected outlets, they came up with a cafe style food outlet. It's a fast food like outlet which has food like curry chicken with rice and laksa etc. Their curry chicken with rice/bread is their speciality. It's so special. Why? Because the bread is of the shape of a bowl whereby you can actually pour the curry into the hole cut at the top. Hmmm, it's not only mouth watering but eye feasting as well. HungrY? Pop by Novena Square and try it out yourself.


My brother got my little mind tickling again with that very link. It's people giving up their hamsters for adoption. Oh man, how cute are they isn't it. From now on, i shall put up pictures of winterwhites (hopefully i can) with every post i posted. A tribute to my liking of them i would say. Oh ya, i discovered a local website totally dedicated to hamsters managed by locals as well. (www.sghamsters.com)

Out of the sudden when flipping Dear's organizer trying to find the timetable she claime she wrote on it, i discovered something which made my happier, so happy that i couldn't help giggle over it, happy at heart at the same time. She actually wrote something on that very page which says 27 Oct. On that very date, she put 'Beloved dear's bday'. *Piang* My heart smashed and melted. I'm touched. Hee.....never knew my dear could be so cute.

My Holiday Dreams.

Mum was talking to 'someone' about going overseas. I got tempted. Suddenly, pictures of me going overseas for vacation this year as well aslast year floated to my mind. I want to go holiday again. Not possibly this year anymore as Dear has to wait till next year. I spoke to him about going to Taiwan. So many countries that i actually want to visit but then again, don't have the time and money. Korea, Japan, England, Australia, New Zealand....soooooooo many of them. Haiz...if only i'm an air steward or pilot (ya, dream on). Perhaps someday, i'll be able to go those countries...But i'm going holiday again next year no matter what. I'll start saving up soon. I must make it a point to go vacation overseas at least once a year and i don't mean those short getaway to neighbouring countries!!

Man Utd won the match! Woohoo...so excited. For a moment after Aston Villa scored, i thought Man Utd is going to lose, until Rooney scored an easy go after some shaky defence by Villa. This time round, fault of Gardner. Well, i bet nobody knows him. Few minutes later, it's Man Utd into action again. Each time the balls falls into the possesion of Man Utd in their opponents territory, i gets excited, thinking are they going to score and sure they are, this time in courtesy of an own goal, yet again thanks to Gardner, after he tried to bounce off a shot by Rio Ferdinand which in turn got shot back into this own goal. Rooney scored another simple goal assisted by Nani before Ryan Giggs shot a two times deflected goal into the goal mouth over the head of Sturat Taylor. This match saw two red card - Reo Cooker and Carson. Basically, a good match and i can't wait for their next match to come. Watch your back Arsenal.
