Happy birthday to me

Com'on let's sing a long with me:

Happy birthday to me,
Just a normal day to me,
Still a working day for me,
Happy birthday to me...

Yea... Happy birthday to me, nothing great... Still gotta wake up at 7am today, sit in front of my office pc, still gotta work, gotta reply to emails, listen to phone calls... Sigh.. 1 more year older... Birthday wish? World peace (model answer for beauty pageant)

P.S: Dear frenz, thanks for all your birthday greetings. I simple thought or gesture is worth a goose to me. =)

How to stop ppl from bugging

Saw this useful and funny statement forwarded by my brother which I wanna share with you.

How to stop people from bugging you about getting married
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next."
They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Finally cut my hair

Yea... I finally cut my hair yesterday and colour it brown.

Stupid hairdresser cut until so many layers, my hair 翘 here and there so messy. Sigh... gotta wait for it to become longer le...

Satisfaction level for my hair : 0%

Greetings

Received your birthday greeting from your friend. Didn't get to hear your voice, but I'm equally touched. Looking forward to your return. I miss you lots...

Happy lunar birthday

Happy lunar birthday to me.

My mum is a typical hokkien and she insist that everyone in the family must eat a bowl of mee-suah on our lunar birthday. And so when I reach home after my 89757 lesson, mum cooked a VERY big bowl of mee-suah for me with 2 hard boil eggs, a chicken thigh and lotsa mushrooms (my favourite). Yum yum... Oh ya, and thanks bro for his little piece of chicken cutlet also. Ya... that brown brown thing at the top of pic is actually the chicken cutlet. Pardon for the lousy picture.

Such a big bowl with so many extra stuffs, eat until my stomach big big...
Thanks mum...

Lousy day

Planning to do something to my hay, err... I mean hair. Its damn dry like hay, and even the colour looks hay-alike. Thinking of what colour to dye and am seriously considering about rebounding (my 1 and only rebound session done many years back had freaked me out coz I dropped a lot of hair)

Today is a lousy day. Another busy-with-line-down work day while I'm still in my holiday mood. Sianz... Sucky day... Dar came back for 1 day yesterday and had to go back 4am wee morning to continue his course. Looking forward to his return

The office is freaking cold today, my fingers are icy cold. Crazy aircon. Last week it wasn't working fine, making the office stuffy like hell. Now I'm ma chiam working inside a fridge. Another half day to go... Argh...

Happy Birthdays

I'm in a holiday mood, definitely not in the mood for work today.

August is a good month.
August is a holiday month after so long since the last Vesak holiday in May. August is Singapore's birthday month(happy birthday Singapore!). August is my birthday month (one year older le...). August is my brother's birthday month (happy birthday too bro!). And I just thought of a friend of mine who's no longer around, her birthday is just a few days before mine... happy birthday to you Lily (you'll be miss...)

Read in Today, Lebanon's death toll crosses 1000 with more Israeli's bombings and there's a pic showing a man sitting amongst the rubble crying. Its sad. The page just next to this article is a shopping advertisement with the words "Happy Birthday Singapore" flashed across it. Extreme contrast.

Aren't you happy and proud to be a Singaporean?

Power or Peace?

Give me a chance and turn back the time
This land I'll forsake and proclaim not mine.
When things end up in blood and tears,
I'll throw the white flag and surrounder my gears.
If it stops the carnage and you'll retreat,
Power is nothing comparing humanity and peace.

Chocolate fondue

Had chocolate fondue yesterday evening at Max Brenner. For chocoholic like me, its yum yum. For those not who are non-chocoholic like my ah-lau, the chocolate is just too much for him. Pardon for the poor quality pictures due to my lousy camera phone.

Full fondue set

Milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate

Fruits: strawberries and bananas

Marshmellow and bread crumbs

The world is changing

Is my mindset becoming obsolete?

A guy approached me at MRT yesterday, asked me for my number. For some personal issues, I felt depressed, lost and my mind wasn't working fine yesterday. Normally I will just wave my hand "no" and immediately walk away. But being in a retarded-mood I actually gave him my company number. Just now, he sms me, I told him I'm married. He asked if we can still meet up.

Isn't it wierd? I thought guys will back-off once he knows that you're married? No? Maybe he thinks I'm joking with him.

Life's that short few 10s of years

Love conquers everything, blinds all things, forgive anything but can never forget certain things.

Guan Yin Mah played some jokes on me yesterday. Mostly bad ones. I'm now trying to take them lightly, just want my tired mind to ease, want my half-dead heart to nurse. Keep telling myself that life is never a bed of roses, God gave us that few ten-years to live. You're in control of how you want it to be. Some choose to destroy it with evil deeds, most worked very hard through their life to make ends meet, some millions out there roaming along the streets half naked or sick waiting to be feed, many don't know how fortunate they have been and wouldn't even touch the whole plate of dish when they see a tiny fly in it. I thought through my life, I'm umpteen times fortunate than alot of people out there who are suffering from hunger, sick with no medicine to cure, lying on a hard ground waiting for god to take their life away. So what more should I ask? I wish each and everyone around the world healthy and happy. Money can't buy these.

When you think there's no meaning in life, when you find that everything you do seems to go wrong, when you feel like everyone seems to dislike you and nobocy cares; think of the people who are less fortunate than you who don't know what to do everyday and your family member who's always there for you. Someone used to told me, we can't compare such way coz we're living in different kind of world. But aren't they human too? You mean they don't have feeling? No pain? No worries? Pardon me if you think the same way as this someone do, but I think you're a bastard. And those terrorist out there with nothing to do but create havoc are such a disgrace that I think even a beast can't tolerate their acts.

I feel the drift

Tired... Slept less than 2 hours yesterday night. Being worried-sick for nothing... Sigh... I doubt if he understand how worried-sick I was, how my pillow was wet with tears waiting for a simple sms or call, finally fell asleep around 4am but keep waking up every 15 min to check the mobile. Now I truely understand why worried-sick is called such.

Saw a quote from "i"-mag remarked by a famous director which I find so meaningful. It goes something like this... "When a person is lying on deathbed, close to dying. He won't be thinking why he didn't strive harder and excel in his carrer or work longer hours to earn more money. He'll be thinking and regreting why he hasn't been spending time with his family and be there when his friends need him." Did it touched your heart? Well, its touches mine, deep enough to make me reflect.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We were so closed to reaching each other's hand on the buoy,
Yet a strong wave came and pull us away.
Further and further we drifted apart,
Despite attempts to swim close and not to part.
We shouted across to each other,
Encouraging and spuring one another.
How long will this go I wonder,
As our shout finally became murmur.
Then I saw you swimming over tired and persistant,
Reaching to my hands that are wrinkled and cold.
Reassuring that everything is fine,
We sank together with your hands in mine.

Sweet dreamz...

I had a sweet dream yesterday night.
I wish I'll never wake up from the dream...

Find the song below by Blue is so meaningful...

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

What's the meaning of...

Due to some funny history, Kenny and I have been using the word "na bei" as our normal greetings in replacement to the normal "hi" in MSN. Just now I suddenly wonder what does "na bei" means. So, thinking Kenny must be an expert in vulgarity coz he uses this word so often, I asked him what does "na bei" means. His reply: "actually hor i also dun know leh"... Na bei, he uses the word so often yet he doesn't know what it means...

Anyone know what exactly na bei means? Hmm... Wonder if the meaning is very offensive...

Joke of the day:

At Cabana East Coast waiting for the scoccer match between England and Paraguay to start...

Kee (looking at the meu) : Ehh... what's the difference between mocktail and cocktail huh?
Me (being bored) : Oh... Mocktail you drink already will make fun of people coz drink liao will mock alot. Cocktail you drink already will talk alot coz drink liao you will talk cock...
Kee & me: ... ...

Just another down side of life

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

Didn't we agree that we must strive hard while we're still young to earn our 1st $100K before the age of 30? Life is full of ups and downs and we're just undergoing the down side of life now. Give ourself 1 more year, life will be better. You've been a loving, great and flawless husband. Love isn't about having to spending every minute and second together, its about knowing that someone special out there is thinking of you every minute and second.

Happy 5 year anni, I love you...

June is a happening mth

June is such a happening month isn't it? Its the month when the Great Singapore Sale takes place and its also the month when the world cup fever commence. Wow...

Ya... its the Great Singapore Sale now. So did you bought you anything for the past few days or intend to get anything in the following weeks? Well, I bought mostly the neccessities, like vitamin C skin booster, Eucerin shower oil and body lotion (what the hack, Eucerin and Cetaphil are so damn expensive, if not for my sensitive skin...) And all these actually save me more than 10 bucks after the discount. I'm still thinking what are the stuffs I need so I can get them during these few weeks in discounted prices. Hmm...

1 thing I hate about shopping at this season is that every shopping center you go, its always so crowded. You see people digging in piles of clothes hoping to find something good and cheap, people crowding in front of the mirror to see if the top fits them or people holding the pants around their neck to see if it'll fit their waist coz the stupid fitting room's queue is forever so long, you see the men sian-sian standing around the lingerie department arm-folded waiting for their girlfriend/wife, sometimes even going toilet is such a chore coz of the long queue. Well... after all, the few dollars of discounts can gather to be quite a hefty sum of savings. Hmm... Buy more, buy more... help Singapore boost the economy. Buy more, buy more... go home you look at your shopping bags and you regret more...

Staying up this midnight to watch the first match between Germany vs Costa Rica and Poland vs Ecuador?
Nah... I'll be the live audience in the stadium with Uncle-Zhou in my dream...

Ah-lalalala-Long...

My malay neighbour's door was kenna splashed with black paint yesterday night and the wordings "O$P$ #XX-XXXX" was written in the lift with super thick and non-erasable blue marker.

Well, its none of my business. But the black paint dripping onto the floor as the Ah-Long aka loan shark make their way to the lift after getting their job done is my problem. Now my corridor has large ugly black polka-dot patches.

Sometimes I find these Ah-Long abit dumb. You know, people already owe them money and they still needa waste money to buy paints, markers and pig's head occassionally. And these Ah-Long's men can't sleep at night coz they must wait until its late at night when everyone is sleeping then they secretly do it. I mean, so what if you splash paint and all the whole block of neighbours know that this unit owes you money? When people are desperate and short of cash, they don't care what you do as long as they have the money borrowed to solve their financial problem. And I just don't understand why they know they will expect bad debts and they're still willing to lend people money. The world have lotsa of wierd people.

Wonder if other countries have Ah-Long also? And wonder what tactics they use when people don't pay up. Maybe the Ah-Longs worldwide should meet together to share their tips and experience. Hmm... I think the police will also be happy if there is one.

89757, dancing 7-shou-8-jiao

Just came back from 89757 dance class. OMG... the dance is so fast and furious.



Yes, I'll be learning exactly the same dance moves as the clip above and that babe in the white cap is our dancing instructor, XK. While teaching us the first 8 beats of dance steps, she was like counting "1... and... 2... and... 3... and..." . After that we tried dancing to the beats of the music and we were like all lost, coz the beats are so fast, "1 and 2 and 3...", no dragging in between the on & and beats. Everyone was like laughing at the end of that short 8-beats dance steps coz we look so clumpsy and stupid. And the only dance moves we did correctly are the first 2 and last steps. It took us more than 15 mins to learn that 8-beat dance steps but it ended in less than 10 seconds dancing to the music. *Sweat*

Somemore this dance must "gek" that stupid robotic moves then nice. Jia lat... more to come... Feel like backing out. But it'll definitely be more fulfiling after completing the course for this 89757 then Jolin's Shuo-Ai-Ni.

Its Monday already?!

Its monday again.

Feels like I was sitting at my workdesk just yesterday, as though my weekends are just like a dream, woke up this morning and its like "Sigh... Its morning again, did I actually had my weekend?". Weekend passes by so fast.

Watched MI3 on Saturday. A great movie. Feels that Tom Cruise is not as yan-dao as before, think age is catching up on him? Yesterday went to KTV with dar and kee. Its been more than 3 months since I last went to KTV And with all the new songs coming up, I'm still singing those usual old songs. Hmmm... come to think of it, realised that I seldom listen to the radio. The only time I really get to listen to radio is in the taxi, car or van. No wonder I know only old songs.

Kinda excited over a little biz plan in mind. I wanna be rich ! I wanna quit and leave my company ! But I think I'll still need to stuck here for another... half year? I hope...

Horray

OK... so my long resting and long waiting dance class is finally re-starting next Tuesday (Horray! ) Everyday its work, home, work, home... No life, really bored man... Now at least for the next 12 Tuesdays I can do something I like and happy. Heh...

Will be learning JJ's 89757. Heard Ash says that the dance steps are very nice but difficult. Make me both excited and worried. Did I used to mention that I'm one of the oldest student in the dance class? Well... ya... most of them are in their teens, while I'm moving into all the "TIES". You know..."TIES" as in twenTIES, thirTIES, forTIES. Old bone with a little bit slower processor as compared to the teens. Haa... Sad...

Used to hear people say that once you cross the 21-year-old age line, your age will jump and increase in a flash. Find it quite true. Think I better start planning for my retirement now.
