A Day Off

I was surprised upon seeing the sms. The first time he intiated in giving me a Off Day. Wow, i was thankful, still shocked at the thought.

Woke up with aches everywhere, from shoulders to back, from arms to legs, almost everywhere. My leg's are healing real fast, all thanks to the machine i would greatly admit.

Exams's in exactly one month time and assignments are due this coming and next week as well. I shall slogged my way through. The enthusiasm to do well in my studies is still there. So i should really strike while the iron is hot.

Guard duty's tml and it just dampens my mood...

Alien VS Predator 2

A movie that i've been waiting for ages. A movie that i'm looking so forward to. A movie that i'm expecting it to thrill me and send some shivers down my spine. Well, it seems like it's going to meet all my expectations and giving me all sorts of sastifaction - just by viewing the trailer. Click on the link to view the trailer. (http://www.thedanielrichard.com/blog/aliens-vs-predator-2-movie-trailer/). Although the rating hasn't been published out, it's rumoured that it might have been rated (R)21. All thanks to the amount of violence and bloodshed in the movie. Well, i'm eagerly hoping for that rating, so that it would really make the creatures stand out and make a deep impression in me.

I had a bad dream or to be exact, a nightmare. It's a nightmare i wanted to wake up from. How i wished i wouldn't had dream of such thing. That's the very last thing i ever wanted or rather, i wouldn't want it to happen at all. I dreamt that something untowards happened to my beloved. I woke up with tears in my eyes. It just came naturally. I called her straight away, it was 6am. Her voice re-assured me and soothes my messy mind. Went back to sleep with this nightmare still clear in my mind..ZzZzz

My First Marathon

Safra marathon participant dies at end of 21km run.
(http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20070826/tap-safra-marathon-participant-dies-at-e-231650b.html)
A very unfortunate incident. Well, i was shocked upon knowing this news. It did came unexpectedly. I mean, it's common that some participants will over-exert themselves and some incidents happened. Sad thing is that he's only 25 years old. Sad...

My very first marathon. Quite a good experience. It's the first time i'm running such a long distance - 12km. I never thought it to be so long. Wel, i did walked on several occasions but i tried pushing myself. Jogging very slowly is better than walking. Throughout the whole run, i was jogging at a slow but constant speed. I failed to meet my targetted time of 1 hour 20 mins. I was nearly 10 mins late.

After the run, i really felt as if i'm dying. I just felt uncomfortable. I thought eating some food would helps. Well, it did help a little but it's the leg's turn to do the torturing. I can literally feel the pain on my thighs. By evening time, the pain extended to the knee. Thanks to the massaging of Mrs Dear and the machine, i'm able to feel my leg...I'm looking forward to the next run...

Finally, this day arrived. Going on triple dates, something i've never imagine doing it ever. As i'm typing, the two lovey couples must be still outside romancing themselves in the night of silence. First time seeing them both, good impression left by them and hopefully good impression made by me and dear.

Love was simply in the air today, wherever we went. First up, Settlers Cafe. Never been to this place before even though i've heard so much about it. Got the deluxe package and yes, caught JieWan there as well. Maybe it's kind of expected as well. The food was nice, ambience not bad as well. Had fun playing those games but i just find some of the games too naggy and troublesome to play with so many rules and stuff. Enjoy the Red apples to Green apples most. Haa, funny how we actually mingle around on our very first meeting together. Nice knowing them and out of the sudden, i had two more friends. Cool....

Next was the steamboat. Well, another first time. First time eating 'Ma La' steamboat. Kind of expected it but in the end, it disappoint me utterly. I told myself, i'm not going to eat 'Ma La' steamboat ever again.

Soooo envy for the fact that the four lovebirds are still outside. I'm still waiting for my dear to turn 21 so that she'll have the key to freedom. But i foresee more obstacles to come. It's already disheartening. But how much can i do? Basically nothing. I'm very disheartened now. Time with her is decreasing. And yet, it's going to decrease more. I can't imagine the future. Not that optimistic i guess...
=(

Idiots don't live long...

Idiots or maybe not, hypocrites would be a better word to describe. There's no perfect working world where everyone treats you well. To each of his own. Working outside is in fact just a harsh reality. It's like a safari. Animals kills animals to ensure survival. Don't expect everybody to be your friends. Sometimes, line has to be clearly drawn.

Like what my friend has mentioned, outside working hours, friends will be friends to you, but once it's time to work, they changed. Whatever they don't know how to do, if they can push to you, they will. For mine, situation is different. There's this idiotic nosey parker, always ask where did i go, ask this, ask that. I'm tired of that. Or should i say fed up. On the outside, he appeared concern, whatever is not his business or he don't feel like doing, innocents 'lives' will be dragged down. Anyway, wait til he's gone which is like in a few months time, and i can start to count down to my ORD and be released from 'jail'.

Dear seems to be excited of this Saturday's outing. I shall not go into details.

Specially for you: you're the prettiest, Mrs Dear!

Meaning of Life

Outing was spoilt, totally, by the pain (strained neck) i got from guard duty last night. I guess bad sleeping position could get one into days of suffering. Still, i managed to enjoy myself with Dear.

First up, KBox. We finally got to sing together after months from absense from the singing faze. The moment we got into the room, it's choosings of songs after songs. It's never ending. And there my dear goes, singing wholeheartedly. I must say she really have a nice voice. As for me, as much i liked to sing, i realised i'm not for it. My singing sucks totally. It makes me feel as though i'm ruining dear's singing mood instead.

Afterwhich, we Caught a movie 'License to Wed'. A very meaningful movie about love. It tells couples how marriage isn't just about i love you, you love me and let's get married. There are so many factors to consider about. I suddenly forgot the lead actress of this movie until just now when i watched the show again - it's Mandy Moore! I still remember how i and Don first met Mandy Moore live @ Plaza Singapura when she first came to Singapore years ago. I thought she acted quite well in the movie and she's certainly a babe now. The movie also reminded an important lesson which i think i ought to bear that in mind - it's important sometimes or rather most of the time that one should always put oneself in the shoes of their partner. Here's a short synpnosis of the movie:

License to Wed follows newly engaged Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and his fiance, Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore), who has always dreamed of getting married in a traditional wedding at her family church. The problem is St. Augustine's only has one wedding slot available in the next two years, and its charismatic pastor, Reverend Frank (Robin Williams), won't bless Ben and Sadie's union until they pass his patented, foolproof marriage-prep course. Through outrageous classes, outlandish homework assignments and some pious manipulation, Ben and Sadie are about to find out if they really have what it takes to make it to the altar...and live happily ever after.

Yesterday i watched a show. There's this mother who was being interviewed about her baby and her. She mentioned that the most important process to her is the feeding of the baby. It makes her feel as though she's growing together with her baby. And when asked what she has sacrificed as a mother after giving birth, she say her figure but stressed that everything is certainly worth it. No wonder many said mother is the most noble person on earth.

The Tamiya Temptation

Why is it so different? This time round, guard duty totally sucks. The people you are doing with really matters. There's this guy, never mind the fact that he's doing his duty for the first time. He talked in an atmosphere where no one felt like talking. and he can go ask questions. Well, i gave her 'ya' , 'huh, 'ok' replies just to ensure there's no next question. Yesterday, the bedsheet and pillow case were extremely dirty. How i wish i could really bring my own pillow and bed there. Imagine sleeping on a pillowcase with dirty shoeprints on them and lotsa dust and dirt on the bedsheet. Oh man, where's the SAF's "Care for Soldiers"? Gosh...i can't imagine any longer. I had a hard time sleeping yesterday. Took me 3 hours before i actually set my mind in and dozed off and before i knew it, it's already 5am and i have to woke up and still got 'questioned' further by that newbie. Enough of him.

Another guy's much better. Well, maybe because for the fact that i knew him. He brought a very cool stuff - a Tamiya remote control car. It was totally cool. But for the fact that he spent around 400 bucks on it, i must say it's quite an expensive hobby. But imagining yourself assembling the part together, spray the pain onto it, sticking on the stickers before letting it run on the ground, all felt as though it's an achievement. I had this temptation to get one but well, it's still a temptation afterall. Maybe i shall get someone to get it with me,. It's always more fun to play with friends rather than alone. Interested to know more? Visit this website, they'll tell you everything. http://www.stargek.com/

The Tamiya Remote Control Car

They even had models like subraru, ferrari and BMW. simply cool...If that's my birthday present, that would be great...Wahaha!!!! (Get the Hint?)

The feeling's back. Finally. Monday, i was still feeling weird, even after everything seems to be back to normal. And all the way till today, it's already Friday now. Today's our 15th month anniversary. Like what you said, we've come this far, past all test, through thick and thin which made us meant just for each other. And worry not, i'll still be generous with my love, only to you, and only you.

I suppose when you read this post, you would have already gotton your surprise. I had planned this surprised on Monday. Remember me browsing Orchard alone, i never felt lonely then. The thought of getting something special for you is enough to keep me occupied. Thanks to Jo as well, if not, my surprise would not be able to work out. Get her to read this for i really wanted to thank her! Hope you like the surprise and remember, don't lose it!

Sad to hear news from Man Utd so far, i must say, they are seriously under-perfoming right now. But maybe that has always been their tradition. A bad start of the season shall led and become a streak of winning matches and to an eventual title defender once again! I have the confidence in you. Way to go Man Utd

Face = Health Status

Well, saw this health report somewhere on a newspaper and i thought i should have shared it. Here you go.

According to the ancient art of face reading, your state of health is prominently displayed on your face. Concepts of face reading can be used to look at one's health. The basic principle is that each organ is allocated a certain region on the face, so puffiness or redness in one are can indicate that the organ is not functioning at its best. One important sign of ill health is how you feel, regardless of how your face looks.

Mouth & Chin
The lips and mouth area reflect the health of the stomach and digestive organs. If the skin there is sallow and pale, it means the digestive system if not working well. If there is a greenish tinge, the liver is the cause of the trouble. Deep creases along the nose to the corners of the mouth indicate bowel weakness. A protuding lower lip is associated with a sluggish colon.

Cracked lips and ulcers in the mouth could be a sign of infection and poor healing. People with irritable bowel syndrome and lupius are also prone to mouth ulcers. The chin is meant to represent the lower abdominal organs, including reproductive organs, so puffiness and blemishes there can indicate energy stagnation and dysfunctions in the abdominal area.

Forehead & Eyebrows
The eyebrows are symbol of a person's vitality, so the bushier the eyebrows, the healthier the person. This refers to the natural shape of the eyebrows, not those that have been plucked and shaped. Natural thinning at the ends of the eyebrows is associated with a declining thyroid function.

Deep horizontal creases in the forehead can mean that your digestion is poor, while an oily and blemished forehead may mean you're eating too much of fatty foods and diary products. Vertical creases between the brows are a sign of poor gall bladder and liver function.

Eyes
If the area under the eyes is puffy and dark, it may indicate that the kidneys are overworked, and this can be due to overwork and lack of sleep. A diet in coffee and rich foods can also cause this darkness.

From a western medical approach, the eyes are the place where you check for signs of jaundice (look for a yellowing of the whites) and anaemina (look for a paleness of the conjunctiva, the inside of the eyelid).

Nose and Cheeks
Redness and broken capillaries around the nose indicates a weakened heart. If you have red, puffy or pimply cheeks, it is thought to be due to eating toomuch of diary and fruit products. Such a diet is believed to produce mucus and lung congestion.

Some practioners believe that if your cheeks suddenly become red and dry, you are suscepticle to catching a cold or coming down with a lung infection

[ It dawned to me that it's not easy. Only towards her, i showed a different side. A side to whom i have never shown to before, except for her. A side which shows that i can love. I've never love a person like that. However, time past. Human changes, humans never learn. Naturally, human tend to take things for granted over time. So do i. It felt as though a slapon my face to know what i've become. I thought i cared the right way, but it was wrong. Compared myself to a year plus ago, it's near to total difference. What is it that has gone wrong, i couldn't figure out. she analysed them in full detail for me. Hurting it may be, it appeared scary not only to her but myself as well. Well, it's all nothing as compared what was done to her.

I thought that we human as long as love still exist, one wouldn't bear to cause hurt, torture or any sadness upon his or her loved ones but i was wrong. It was a great lesson learnt but at the same time, a good test. The scar will takes a long time to heal, this time round, it's just different but it will heal, eventually.

I thought alot, how could couples last for so long. What is it that made them last even till today. I'm afraid i'll never be able to figure it out unless i pass that phase of life myself. For now, i'll just reflect and love the way i should do. ]

Yesterday was a good day. Basically, the whole day was spent rotting. I wonder how those people managed to complete a 500- or even 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle within a few hour. Gosh, i and dear finally started on our jigsaw puzzle but we were just after halfway done. It's fun doing but it get frustrated after a while when the pieces you need couldn't be found. But i suppose, doing such jigsaw puzzle is a good way to cultivate your patience. I hope to complete it real soon so that both of us could finally hanged up our very first jigsaw puzzle done together.

Finally, i bought my necklace, at a cheap price - 5 bucks. It's some sort of necklace similar to those sold at 77th Street. I'm glad i managed to chance upon such good deals. Wow, i think i possess the traits of those Aunties when they see cheap bargains at the market. Gosh...must be influenced by my dear. (Woops)

Got my neoprint taken at last after months. It's fun i would say. The fun being the excitement of fighting against the time while thinking of the pose. It's like after one pose, you have to come up with another before the camera would snap. We always tried new poses and nice enough, we came up with quite a few nice poses specially created by and for us ONLY.

Movies, Movies and MORE Movies

First time went out after school. Feeling of not heading back home after school brings me back to those days where i always look forward to Fridays during my poly days. Fridays to me in the those days feels like a weekend. I'll end up in town till late night before heading for home sweet home.

Watched Flastpoint yesterday. A movie i would think it's not as nice as Invisible Target. However, the fighting scene were much more power-pact as compared to Invisible Target, even those there were much lesser fighting scenes. I especially like the way they fight. I discovered from the movie website that actually most if not all of them have some kung fu background. Here go you, have a look. It's under ultimate fighters tab. http://www.flashpointthemovie.com/

Jun Ma, a serious crime detective sergeant has been working on to crack a triad of three brothers; Archer, Tony and Tiger for years. He planted a mole, Wilson to infiltrate into the gang. Over the years, Wilson started to have more disagreements with Jun Ma. During a gang confrontation, Wilson's identity was exposed and Tiger died during the battle. Tony destroyed all the evidence. The only person left to bring Archer to justice is Wilson...

It's always nice to have her in my arms by my side sleeping so soundly. It's always cute and gladful to see how cute she looks like when she's sleeping away.

It has never been easy to juggle between relationship, friends, work, school and families. First of all, prioritise is the most important. One would know who's more important and who needs whoever more. It's easier for me, because i have lesser commitments. Time management would be very important as well. Naturally, time for ownself would almost deplete. For now, i'm contented with everything...

Changes

There comes a time where couples vowed by many that they would take good care of each other no matter what, till death do them part, brave through think and thin together and love each other, care for each other and that never leave each other alone.

Responsibility of husband and wife is clearly defined in today society. It's never difficult to differentiate the roles between the two. It's sad how i learnt that how a husband not logically chose to care for the wife in a different way.

Scenario: The house situation has gotton worse. There isn't money to go around the house, the husband deemed it's better if daily expenses was given to wife instead of giving her the amount which includes pocket money and daily expenses. Wife had no complaints, life goes on. One day, wife got sick, money was needed to see doctor. Husband doesn't bother. Wife can only use the savings which was meant for rainy days to see doctor. Husband still didn't do anything despite pleads.

One word: Disgusted. I'm disgusted at such actions. Never will i respect such a person. I'm sad that such people exist but yes, they does. It shall always serve as a reminder for me, if i'm getting married one day, that i should bear those words that i vowed during solemnisation. I must never fail any of it.

Since the day he was out from that bloody operating theater, he has never been normal. Not to anyone, not me, not my parents, not his friends and not to his girlfriend as well. His temper hasn't changed any bit since that day. No respect to my mother, not even any bit for me as well, i don't really need it anyway.

His pettiness has gotton over him all the time. His metrosexual character has made them more gay than ever. I foresee a day where it will totally been totally unseen by anyone else. Sadly, no one could do anything. His weird lifestlye has made him a real nerd with spices here and there occasionally.

A fight with him yesterday was great. The bruise is worth it. That shows him that doesn't mean if you can win me over a fight means you could climb over my head. Still to say, i'm still the eldest. If no respect is given, i see no reason why i should give in your way. Since soft approach was not able to cultivate some sense into him, the hard one might just do the job.

Sad to say, it's no longer the home i can foresee.

Happy Birthday Mummy

The long awaited day is finally here. I had always wanted to make my mother especially happy, especially this very year because she hasn't been happy recently, due to the fact that her health isn't that good.

Mummy had wanted a treat instead of a present instead. Unlucky enough, i'm on guard duty on her birthday and thankfully she wasn't saddened by the news because we decided to celebrate it in advance. Did my research before finally decided on Soup Restaurant. Saturday came, Iwas there to celebrate my mother's birthday. Here you go.

Samsui Chicken (It's obvious why this is their speciality)

Black Chicken Soup

"Yang Zhou" Fried Rice

Spicy Beancurd With Prawns

Fried Beansprout with Sliced Fish

Gingko Nuts Dessert

I'm glad i've made my mum happy. Happy Birthday Mummy!

Yes, Hungry me..

After the lunch, brought mum around the hub. We turned into the arcade unknowingly and i couldn't resist myself towards the bear catching machine i would call. It's so tempting. Seeing how people failed is such machines make it seem so difficult but every now and then, you would see someone collecting the bear from the hole, thinking that it should been easy.

Mum insist i tried my hands on it. I got attracted to this machine specially. Stitch in this machine look especially cute, which make it very tempting for me. Tried several time before...i.....finally caught one! Dear of course was the happiest as she brought home my proudest moment. Bingo!

The tempting Stitch Machine.

It's never easy giving birth to me, carrying a baby for 9 months, spending 21 years taking care of him. For this, that day was nothing as compared to how she brought me up. Mummy said she was happy that day, one of her happiest. It's never difficult to see why, neverthless, i would still tell her i love her and that Happy Birthday Mummy.

Finally a gathering between the few of us on Sunday. Never before i've joined them at Sentosa for some fun. Well, spoiler in the morning when it's just the three of us - Don, Gav and Me. But others managed to join us. We had lots of fun. It's always nice playing sports with them. Tired as we may be, but it's fun. Hope there'll be more of such outing...Sentosa!!!!
