not going to countdown
Wednesday, July 30, 2008, 10:29 PM
watched 康熙来了 on scv jus nw..today's episode was abt how the celebs earned their first million..i think if you convert to SGD,it shd be ard S$500,000...hmm that is really alot of $$$..but celebrities have to work very hard and at the same time save too :) amongst them was 20 yr old singer Cai Min You and he recently released his 2nd album...im so envious..haiz...20 yr old already got 1 million NT...when can i earn my 1st million SGD?den i can buy wat i like..but maybe still not enuff to buy my Sentosa house haiz :( as much as i would like to dream...i dont think i would ever make that much $$..i'll be realistic this time :) hmm maybe jus S$999,999 :Pi always wonder how come 小S and 蔡康涌(sry if i got the name wrong) talk so fluently and always engaging in witty repertoir...they seem to always have smth to say,smth to ask the guests...how i wish i could be like them..so witty n entertaining...maybe they took lessons in Taiwan?or maybe they jus have this natural talent to speak with ease?with them ard...things would be very lively....i think for Xiao S is because she is straightforward..some may call it "blunt" ...if she has smth to say...she jus say it..hmm we have our SG version of them too...Quan YiFeng and Guo Liang =) but i dun think they are as funny...maybe cos what is televised on TV here is highly controlled and many things cannot be said n broadcast on air...for eg i think the hosts cannot speak dialects on TV...hopefully, there can be a younger duo...perhaps of a younger generation..maybe Desmond Koh and....i cant think of a female host for the time being haha :)
to have a witty repertoir with someone isnt easy i guess..cos when u "throw" smth at them to respond, they must be able to "catch" it...then there will be the 梗 and 效果...so depends alot on their "mo qi"...like sometimes when u talk to ur frens...you say smth and they respond with something witty back..den hahaha continue to talk den hahaha...but there may be times whereby u said smth..and was hoping for a response..and all you got was "hmm ya lor" or "ya ya "...quite sianz...and then u think..hmm no connection or maybe not funny..to find someone whereby u can really talk to...talk abt anything n i mean anything...no holds barred...is not easy...cos sometimes u may think the other person will understand you..but they dont...
recently i've been watching FRIENDS..not really watching but i caught the 2 back to back episodes jus now..very funny..and i like Joey..haha..he likes to eat n eat...n he likes to act stupid...jus now the episode was abt "mood spoilers"...erm u noe sometimes..u cre8 a romantic mood or tried to..den there had to be that one-liner that changes the mood entirely...and it would be like "oh well..so much so for mood" ..that was wat happened in that episode..
imagine this: Tom wans to impress his gf, Mary, by having a romantic candle light dinner with her. He did all the necessary arrangements with the restaurant..asked for the terrance seats outside...flowers...hoping to cre8 that perfect romantic atmosphere and hoping that Mary would be so touched...but when Mary arrived...she said " How come u wanna sit outside?so hot...the candle lights quite dim also..cant see what im eating." so much so for putting in so much effort Tom..it could have been a romantic evening..if not for what Mary said...if you were Tom how would u feel?not very pleased i guess...
i've heard this song by secondhand serenade...title: Your Call...i kind of like this band..real nice lyrics too...wanna share this line from the song before i end my post haha..."I was borned, to tell you I love you.." i find that phrase very romantic leh...dont you think so?haha..i mean if someone were to say that to me..wow..my heart will definitely melt hee :) but then on the other hand...mayb it's jus me myself and I think that way...
i blogged from Wednesday to Thursday..it's 12.05am yawnz will upload on my ns experience next post =)
trekked
1:08 AM
jus got bk after a sweaty day..haha...went trekking with D today...we started our journey from Harbourfront Mrt and ended at HortPark which is near Ikea...we checked out the Henderson waves,The Jewel Box,Forest Trail,Marang Trail,Alexandra Arch,and trees, and more trees =)luckily it didnt rain today..but the weather was HOT...very HOT...so as we walked we sun-tanned too...but im not getting darker haiz :P
after we trekked we headed to Shokudo(Raffles City) for dinner..time to replace those lost calories yeah haha :)although it was a weekday night, we waited for bout 20 mins b4 we were let in..it was quite crowded actually...the food is tasty and the i find that there is a wide range of selection of Jap crusine :) definitely cannot try ALL at one go hee...oh the green tea macha is WOW haha..it does not taste like normal green tea..it has this unique fragrant taste :) must try!
hmm today i saw a relative of mine in the mrt..he's those "one year see one time relative" i didnt know his name but i recognised him...HE didnt even recognise me haha..i think during CNY he visited my house....so for this kind of "one year see one time relative"..i'll be honest..it's jus to take angbao during CNY...and not really to visit haha..so jus collect angbao and say "thank you uncle" haha opps :)
recently i saw e phrase "henpecked" in the subtitles of a chan 8 show...hmm what does it mean?does it mean the husband is afraid of the wife and do wat the wife says?when he treats her too nice trying to give her almost everything she wants...always thinking of ways to please her...pple say "spoil market" , "henpecked"...and the husband is upset...and when he isnt as nice to her...she complains and pulls his ears haha den his ears pain..haiz...in any way...the husband kena and the wife gets what she wants...is this y nice guys finish last and 男人不坏， 女人不爱 well i hope im not being biased here :) hmm but have she tot of how her husband would feel when pple say such things?and after all that he did?mayb he also hope to be pampered, being showed some TLC..although i dont think he would say it cos he jus kept to himself...certain things need not be said out loud...
i also read somewhere...eh..i cant really rmb where...haa dementia again...haiz...sighing is also a sign of dementia..haiz haiz haiz...i read that being in a relationship is about what one can give to the other...or rather what both parties can give to each other...again it's mutual =) if you cant give anything den...the ship will wobble as if in a stormy sea den u will get sea-sick..and maybe u shdnt get on the ship ;)
ok time for bed...knocked out cold

part two:another significant event is that at the end of the day...all the recruits were told to call home...and let their parents noe that their son is well n kicking hee...i guess this helps to alleviate any fears that their parents might have..that night i called home...and for some reason...i got emotional haha...yeap i dunno why also..i could feel my throat tighten n i had a lil difficulty speaking to my parents...but im okie after that...secret haha...i did not tell anybody abt this and i guess no one noes..until now =)
男人流血不流泪 rite? haha i noe i noe...but im only human ma...besides that's jus a figure of speech...not true :P hmm...not many pple noes this side of me hehe...sometimes when i watch those sad sad shows...i get emotional too...but i din cry...yet...heh :) well...perhaps it's because i "feel" what the other person is feeling..and im able to empathize...im basically a very "feeling" person haha...typical of a Cancerian(if you believe in astrology) but is that a character flaw?
ok so far thats the end of the first day at Pulau Tekong...land of the army boys...haha :) now you've read abt the other side of me..how abt i show u my poetic side haha...nah...it's jus smth i wrote at random long long time ago...i happened to chance upon it and decided to share it heee :) but it's COPYRIGHT ok..so dont kope ;)
Summer has come and past
It seems like time never lasts
Beautiful memories will always stay
Deep in my heart come what may
Then came that faithful day
You left after a heated fray
We no longer talked
We no longer walked
It was then I thought
We were meant to be
Never to be
I turned to alcohol
I punched the wall
Because I had it all
I had to lose it all
Hoping you would be back
To cure my mental wreck
But my hopes are dashed
And my spirits slashed
There is nothing left to say
Nothing that could make you stay
Say goodbye
So long and goodbye
the early bird catches the worm..
5:20 PM
im up early today considering it's a Saturday...dunno why but nowadays im waking up earlier and earlier..haiz..dont tell mi it's my body clock telling me that sch starting?and im going thru the acclimatization period?OH NOOO...:(oh when i woke up 2day..the first thing i did was to relay a msg to grandma..her fren called yest to say she wont be meeting them today but i 4got to tell her yest..opps...and D i also forget to tell her that the jeweller called the other day... haha am i suffering from dementia?hope not ;) this could be e reason y i woke up early haa cos all the info stuck in my head..
mahjong and more mahjong haha...played wahjong with D yest...it's very fun...D had a run of 5 straight big wins haha...mahjong is abt luck and once ur luck comes...you are unstoppable ;)imagine if we played mahjong instead of wahjong...ooo $$$ rolling in haha :)
hmm..let me share my ns experience =) jus some of the significant ones...some of u might have heard stories from ur frens,siblings,bf...but might not have heard from me haha..here it goes:
First day of enlistment
the dreaded day...the day where i have to serve my time of 1 yr 10 mths...30th March 20xx...hmm from what i rmb..my parents and I took the ferry from pasir ris to Pulau Tekong...it's a 20 mins ride...one that i would be so used to for the next 3 mths haha :)
at the ferry terminal...there were already army guys enforcing discipline...some of us whom did not tuck in our shirts were asked to do so...so strict rite?tsk tsk tsk...anw we were invited to a reception, had lunch, followed by a talk in the auditorium...the place where we, ns guys took our oath...and after that...it's byebye time...time for our parents to go bk to SG and us to embark on another journey (sounds nice right?soo fun) =)
from that moment..i knew it...it's.. it's....TEKAN time hahaaha....we recruits were ORDERED to collect our stuff:boots,bags,shoes,bla bla bla alot of things...oh n then we were in this gym where we were supposed to try our shorts,singlets,T-shirts and sWimming trunks!! haha..that's where i saw smth "bizaare" haa...how to try swimming trunks in a room full of guys?no changing rooms...yeap u might have guessed it...i saw some guys...very fast...stripped down to nothing and wore the trunks and proclaimed "hmm too small..i change with you?"omg...you jus wore it la like you noe w/o underwear haha...erm...mayb cos im a shy person so..i found that real awkward...heh appearing totally naked in front of strangers...although i noe we would be seeing alot "more" of each other in time to come but...u noe u noe...haha :)
after that "bizarre" experience..we proceded to have our hair cut...still must pay $3 to the barber hahaa...but the barber were quite friendly,always smiling...i wonder if they like to see botaks or wat man =) i recalled a dialogue btwn the barber and one of the recruits
Recruit: Uncle..nah $3 dollars
Barber: Thank you..take off ur spects and sit down
Recruit: Uncle, can help me cut like 3 lines at the side..like adidas like that?
Barber: Haha...3 lines?you think wat...stylo ah...later kenna frm ur sgt den u noe
Recruit: Huh?cannot ah?
Barber: CANNNOT LA!
but wat the barber said was true la...dont try to be extra...play punk...sure kena jialat jialat one...hahaha
to be continued...
the sky cried again

tonight's gonna be another wet and cold night...it jus poured...and for the past few days it has been like that...hmm is it because of the "tai feng" in taiwan? like cos sg is shielded and when the "tai feng" past by..all we get it heavy rain?"tai feng" or not..it certainly made the night cooler and more comfortable to fall aslp =)as usual i watched my volleyball show..well today's episode was not as exciting as the episode on tuesday?or is it wednesday?anw i intend to call it the "SURPRISE" episode haha...Jessica Liu wanted to throw a surprise bday party for Christopher Lee..and she took the effort to bake a cake and to duplicate his house keys...den as she entered his room....SURPRISE!!!! she saw him n Joanne Peh in bed....wat a surprise~~ if that were to happen in real life...wow~ might even get a heart attack..haha really :)
are there really such rich guys in real life?like they go ard woo-ing every gal they like...and that the gals would find it extremely hard to resist...if that's the case...wouldnt they be able to have everything they wanted?big house,big car,branded stuff,good food,$$$$ hee... i think gals wont resist guys like that rite?if im a gal...well..i dunno haha
but wat if an average joe...working very hard to provide for his gf,trying his best to please her...then out of the blue one of "those" guys came along...n kope his gal...how would he feel?DEVASTATED man haha...haiz...sometimes life's like that...very practical one :)
"so is it better to find someone who loves you more or we love more? that's a hard one to crack." (to read abt the original post pls visit here ) credited haha :)
not very hard to crack...i shall attempt to crack it with the cracker!! haha...okie...not funny...i noe...hmm well from a neutral POV...love shd be mutual...and not one sided...like one party keeps giving in and the other party keeps receiving...den it isnt "right" anymore...in other words..find someone who loves u jus as much as you love him/her...open ur eyes big and you shd be able to find the right one for u someday...although i've heard "nice guys finish last"...hmm really?do nice guys always turn out to be at the losing end?enlighten me...but i think gals do like "bad boys" haha...dunno why also...maybe they are attracted to their "manliness" or "macho-ness"? beats me...
as you all might know...Dawn is sueing Xiaxue for defamation...it appeared in the newspaper today again..haiz..quite a big hoo ha actually...so i must be careful wat i write in my blog...nv noe some day..some ulu ulu blogger come n sue me haha...but i think if that really happens...i wont be getting any media attention rite?it wont be in the newspaper rite?compared to xiaxue's blog which is getting 50000 hits a day..thats alot...im not supporting anybody jus a innocent bystander :)
oh well it's Friday again...TGIF...time really flies...soon BTS..haiz..hmm i shall talk abt my navy experience in my future posts..haA =)
oscar-ed
12:58 AM
can you see the buffet spread from the pic...can you see the bread..haha...can you smell the fragrance of the food? =) all those hungry pple..look away now...if not i think you cannot tahan and ur stomach will start to rumble...royal rumble...
yups jus had oscar's buffet dinner with D...super duper ultra full..haha...had everything...from appetisers,to main course,to more main course,to even more main course and finally to desserts :) the food's good,ambience is good and service is good too...but the air con...is the best haha...so cold...and as u eat it gets colder..hmm maybe we were siting right below the air-con thats y so cold...
and we saw a celebrity there too...guess who? he's big, very big, has afro hair, wears sunglasses, likes hip hop, hosts football show with Jamie Yeo, and he is married to a beautiful wife.....hmm shd be quite obvious i think? haha so who is the person....WHO WHO....he is none other than.....SHEIKH HAIKAL
i think he's dining with his frens cos we din see his wife with him...she must be looking after their kids hee =) hmm when u eat too full...u will be slpy...and some pple like to slp with a full stomach...i guess cos it's satisfying haha..shiok shiok :) but....it's not very healthy...not good for the body...best is let the food digest abit first den go and slp...hee listen to the advice of Dr.Teo H.W("doctor")
jus now out of the blue..as i was looking out of my window...i tot of my navy days...dunno why..somehow it came into my mind..and i missed those days...the days where we could sleep cos we were on shift...and the times when we played soccer the next morning w/o any slp...i wouldnt want to relive those times...but i certainly miss those days...hmm i like to reminise( dunno if it's spelt like that)...think of the past..i noe that although time n tide waits for no Man...i always wonder if i could do things a lil' different in the past...change certain things..sometimes i feel like goin back in time...
i always thought of what i would do...but in the end...due to certain circumstances or other reasons..i didnt and sometimes i regret...then i would think: why didnt i do that?what if I did that?or i shd have or shdnt have done that?erm...take for instance...during my shift duties..all my frens smoke...ok except 1 or 2....and somehow my closer khakis are smokers...everytime they went for their smoke breaks..they would definitely jio me haha..den we'd gossip abt our superiors..curse curse abit...haa...den they would say : "Teo...try la...where got navy sgt dunno how to smoke one...come navy must try try ma...nah..give u a stick" what if i had really taken that cigarette?would i be addicted?at that time.. i did think of trying...no harm trying rite? but...in the end i said" cigarette expensive la..dont waste..." hee =)
they were like my big "brothers"...and will take care of you...they look tough on the outside but soft on the inside haha llike erm...fried ice cream? hahahaha...i always find they have alot of interesting stories to share...
yawns...i shall share my stories another time...it's bed time...*lights off*

noisy morning
Monday, July 14, 2008, 11:34 AM
this morning i woke up to the sounds of grass cutters cutting the grass and the drilling sound of the construction in the opposite block...what a way to start the day...and they must happen on a monday morning =(anw i managed to catch the live telecast of Miss Universe 2008 held in Vietnam...and the winner is....Miss...Venezuela...haha...actually i watched the last 15 mins and only the top 5 remained...then i used my 'psychic' abiliy to predict the top 2...and indeed i was correct haha..i predicted either Miss Columbia or Miss Venezuela would win =) both of them had the wow factor..the other 3 : Miss Russia, Miss Dominican Republic and Miss...i forgot who was the other contestant haha..but i remembered one of them looked quite fierce :P where was Miss Singapore?if Sg was to be in the top 5, im sure it would be headline news tmr hmm..one day we will make it =)
in life often we have to make decisions and to choose...for eg if one of ur besties asked you out long ago but last min your bf/gf asks you out too...how do u decide?do u go according to timeline of who asked you first?or do you choose according to who is more impt to you?prioritize?haha..either way someone will be "sacrificed" opps..i guess different pple will have their own way of judging..personally i will "sacrifice" my bestie haha sry ...but to others it may be the other way...well..everyone has a choice =)
it's time for lunch..haiz dunno what to eat..so lazy to go buy...
hot sundae
Sunday, July 13, 2008, 3:22 PM
so hot so hot so hot..feel like switching on the air-con in the house..had hokkien mee and barley drink at the coffee shop for lunch today...hmm i think im addicted to the barley drink..the barley is not those syrup kind but it's the boiled kind..so i find it very nice =)last night had dinner with my frens at the Hanabi Restaurant located at Odeon Towers..the food was delicious and it's ala carte buffet..so you do not need to walk ard carrying plates filled with food haha..all we did was jus sit and order and ate to our fill...so so full haha..it was a dinner treat for the July babies..thank you all =)
after dinner..a norm to gajuga culture..we comtemplated on where to go haha..and jw suggested that since there was NDP rehersal she suggested to go see fireworks..so we walked to Esplanade hoping to catch a glimpse...there were many policemen standing ard so we tot mayb the fireworks display wasnt over yet..but when we reached the merlion park...it seems that the fireworks display was over...awww...therefore, we decided to walk to Starbucks..but there were too many people and no seats...so we went to TCC..we walked all the way to Raffles place mrt...TCC was jus ahead...but..it jus closed...awwww =( haha in the end..we dispersed from there..anw it was a good walk after a heavy dinner :)
oh oh...and we saw 2 Lambos last nite ahha..both are white..my "dream" car...actually i only like the doors..it opens upwards..soo nice!!! n it can go really fast too..but sg roads not really suited for speeding..hmm i saw the papers this morning and another person died because of speeding..driver of EVO 9...i noe the car is power..super responsive..pick up super fast..before u go mod ur cars with nox and stuff..think twice..i noe you like the sound of the engine but think before speeding and driving recklessly..if you die nvm...but dont endanger the lives of others..
hmm..im thinking of getting a polaroid camera..so i shall start looking ard..i think it's quite nice..haha..can instantly take and instantly develop...perfect for capturing the moment =) life is abt capturing the moment isnt it?sieze the day~
i like to observe people..observe the way old people,married couples,young couples,teenagers,little kids,even babies behave..haha..and i will think why they behave in a certain way..i rem watching on TV that a nanny could tell what the baby wanted by jus listening to the baby's cries...i wanna learn that too..i think the show's Oprah Winfrey haha..dun ask me y i watch that..i watch Ellen Degeneres too :) hmm sometimes i jus envy them...green with envy..i would den ask "how nice if it could happen to me" haha..me n my monologue =)
"To the world,you may be one person. But to the person, you may be the world."
TGIF
Friday, July 11, 2008, 4:14 PM
so fast and it's the weekend again..just like that..another week zooms by...n very soon..the inevitable...oh nooo...super bored and sianz now..so i have decided to blog..hmm i wonder if the creator of blogspot will have access to all of the blogs of the pple?then this way would the creator be able to see all the blogs? even though u set the blog to private..the creator would be able to see it? haha..then there wouldnt be any privacy rite?
recently things are getting more expensive..petrol,rice,food...and thus the std of living gets higher n higher...and with the introduction of more ERPs it justs gets tougher...and desperate situations would breed desparate measures hahaha...
dreams...have you thought about your dreams?like where would you see yourself 10 yrs from now?hmm...and then are there times when u wanted to do smth but..you didnt actually make the effort..then u will think " aww..how nice if i knew how to do that.." haha..i feel that way sometimes...i wanted to learn to play the drums,the piano..do aggressive in-line skates...oh i also dream of being part of a band, performing on stage haha...cos i see them on tv and i feel WOW...haha =)
maybe thats the difference between ur dreams and the reality..u cant always have ur pie and eat it too rite?sometimes things just aint that smooth sailing and often life is filled with obstacles waiting for you to overcome them...big obstacles and small obstacles...n you will learn as you conquer each one...hopefully...
yest was my birthday..and i want to thank D for spending the whole day with me..and all my frens and Yiwen-jie for their well wishes..the kbox song dedi was special...nv tot of that...n i hope what yiroe said in the sms will come true...thank you all =) and not forgetting my family too...older by a year..hope im wiser too...
im signing off...enjoy the weekend haha byebye..
gloomy sky again...
Tuesday, July 8, 2008, 3:25 PM
was feeling sianz last nite so i went to bed early..and i had 10 hours of slp..*yawnz* when i woke up the sky was gloomy..the same as it was yesterday...it's like goin to rain..but no rain..so caught in the middle haha :)today i went out to tabao lunch again..had bee hoon with chicken wing and taiwanese sausage...on my way home, i decided to stop by the "chap ba lang" shop and i bought a $1.20 hole-punch cos i wanted to file my notes..very cheap rite $1.20 hole-punch haha
after lunch, i decided to put my hole-punch to use..took out my first stack of BS 206 notes..and then...*PIAK*..wow this hole-punch is really gd..very sharp and it punches easily...den i took another stack..*PIAK*...it's spoilt already :( :( :( haiz so much so for a $1.20 hole punch that works 2 times...hmm so 1 time is 60 cents haha...
anyway, i finished sorting out my notes..but it's only half way..haha..i punched hole on all my notes already(with another hole punch)..erm jus that i haven file them yet..maybe next time =) so i decided to blog..cos im bored...
read the newspaper this morn and realise that Brother Joseph Kiely had passed on..i have heard abt him during my SJI days although he wasnt my principal..then i tot about my sch days in SJI..probably my most memorable days were during my sec sch days...all the playing,mischief, bla bla bla..most importantly..my friends...n then i tot abt how our bio teacher and form tutor would always scold us for not paying attention in class..haha..
Teacher: Student, are you listening to me or are u doing your own things?
Student: Teacher, im listening to you.
Teacher: Okay..then tell me what did i jus say?
Student: Erm...you said...erm...you asked me if i was listening to you.
Teacher: See..you are not listening in class..i dont know where your mind is. See me after class.
did the conversation above sound familiar to you?haha...thinking back...i can understand why the teacher got so mad with us..there she was..teaching and teaching, trying to impart as much knowledge to us..and yet..we students are not paying attention,doing our own stuff...hmm how would the teacher feel?there is a difference betwn listening and hearing..hearing i think is jus..in one ear,and out the other...where listening is..in one ear...and stays in hee :) i think sometimes we are all guilty of doing that...like when our parents are nagging at us, or sometimes when talking to our frens..like when they are trying to tell u smth..n you are bz with your own stuff...u will "okay..yup i got it"...when in fact, u didnt get anything...u jus "fu yan" them..entertain them..
just nw i watched the repeat of "Kang Xi Lai Le"...this episode was abt the idol competition in Taiwan..and there is a sporean in the Top 10..i really hope he can finish top 3 and do sg proud..he has alot of fans in Taiwan and is quite popular too...jiayou!!!
recently one of my fren said: "even if they love each other so much..also dont need to stick together 24/7." in my opinion...to each his own..mayb because he's goin overseas and she wont get to see him for like another 1/2 a year...so they are trying to spend as much time as possible tgt..for others..maybe only one party feels that way..but the other party feels that there is no need to spend sooo much time tgt...i dont know...hmm must it be until like one person is leaving for somewhere or when the person is dying from some critical illness that one will tend to spend alot of time with him/her?cant it be like..because you love each other,that is why u want to spend every moment with one another?
hmm what does "the one" mean to you? when one says to you:"I think..you are the one for me." what does that mean?does it mean u are the one n only one for him/her?but what if one party thinks you are "the one" for him...but the other party does not think so or is not sure...then who will be at the losing end? ponder abt it =)
this is a super long post i think..and so im going to stop haha...hmm but what shd i do ltr..slp?haha..ciaoz
it's Youth Day
Monday, July 7, 2008, 6:45 PM
Happy youth day to all! haha..it's been a long time since i celebrated youth day...erm i think the last time i celebrated in sch was like...4 years ago? lost count also...but dont need to celebrate also considered a youth rite?as long as you are YOUTHFUL haha :Pweekend weekend..hmm..didnt really do anything..except went to cut my hair on saturday...the salon is called "simmons" and it's at braddell...those neighbourhood hair salon..hmm im quite happy with my haircut hee =) other than that..nth much..haha...i still have yet to pack my table..and sort out my notes..but..no motivation and quite lazy also la haha
monday blues...today is a gloomy monday...it rained heavily in the afternoon..i was out buying lunch and i tot the weather would hold so i didnt take an umbrella..but..i was wrong...haha..it was raining cats n dogs..but then i tot to myself : it has been quite some time since i walked in the rain..it's kind of a different feeling..other than it is cold...but rather a feeling of relieve somehow..i dunno why also..so i din really run..but instead i brisk walked..but i wasnt really drenched..then i tot of the phrase i saw somewhere.."I want to be in the rain..this way..you cant see the tears that i cry" ....
just a random thought that i have : do you say smth because u mean it?or somethings u just say it for the sake of saying it...and when u do something..do u do it for the sake of doing it or u do it because deep in ur heart, you want to do it...something to ponder =)
time for my dinner..bon appetite
it's the weekend
Saturday, July 5, 2008, 12:02 AM
finally haha..me and D had our seafood spread on Wednesday..all I can say is..YUM :) we set off at bout 1215pm n headed for Turf City..it's a short drive away and I brought GPS along so there is no way we were getting lost hee :P we ordered the set lunch for 2 and waited patiently for our food to be served..1st:combination dish
2nd:SHARKS FIN haha
3rd:swt n sour fried fish
4th:Lobster with ginger and dong fen
5th:ABALONE mushroom =)
6th:fried rice w ikan bilis
7th:red bean soup
the sharks fin soup with crab meat was delicious and the serving is quite big...so after that we were abit full haha...as for the lobster..there wasnt alot of meat but the dong fen was tasty..especially when u eat with the "cong"...gosh im feeling hungry talking about it =) after such a sumptous meal..we went to GIANT(my fav tissue brand) and bought some snacks..and off we went to our next destination: Anchorpoint
Anchorpoint was located opp Ikea at Alexandra and it jus renovated not long so decided to check it out haha...oh n the Disney themed restaurant was also there..hmm but the place was abit small but the chairs were cute..all in the shape of mickey mouse...and they have screening of movies at specific timing too :) there are a few outlet shops at Anchorpoint too...and we shopped ard till it was bout dinner time and then we headed to CHOMP CHOMP
as we were early, there wasnt too much crowd at ChompChomp yet and I managed to get a parking lot...had to parallel park..which isnt really easy for me haha :P had satay with special pineapple satay sauce..we ordered from the only stall that has tt special sauce hee..the sauce was tasty..it tasted like the normal satay sauce with a tinge of pineapple in it..nice~ after our pork,chicken and mutton satay..we headed for our final destination: Ice3
when we stepped into Ice3,there was nobody haha..only the 2 of us..i guess everyone is still having their dinner =) we settled into the cosy sofa seats and ordered the student's special waffle...at first the waitress tried to "con" us saying that the timing for the student special was over..but she realised she made a mistake haha :P i would say the waffle tasted better than Gelare but Gelare's ice cream was yummier =) we stay awhile longer to let our food digest n also to sing along to the music.. " shawty got those apple bottom jeans...boots with the fur..the whole club was looking at her..." haha =) we headed home after that...
what a day well spent...any day spent with D is a day well spent =) walk walk...eat eat...shop shop...hmm enjoyed ourselves :) oh it's goin to be 1 already...i shall go and slp..enjoy the weekends (^@^)
it's hot and humid...

it's the 2nd day of July..the 2nd day of the brand new month...it's also the end of the 21st birthday "season" haha :P i was thinking once u are 21 yrs old..u are officially an adult already...but does that mean that u are old enuff to make ur own decisions? i think for some the ans is yes..but for the others the ans is no...dont you wish sometimes u are able to make ur own decisions?like you want to have a say in smth other than jus following "orders" (not quite sure of what word to use..but i think it's too strong a word) on the other hand, we are forever little kids in the eyes of our parents..and no matter how old we've become...they will still care for us as though we were their children that nv grows old hehe =)hmm some reflections on life...talked to D today..and mentioned bout gonggong...we took care of gonggong...showered it with love and yet...it flew away...does it apply to humans too? hmm if you treat someone with care and love the person wholeheartedly..does it mean the other party will stay with u, love u back wholeheartedly and be there for u always? i dont know...i guess no one noes...or mayb cannot compare lovebirds and humans cos...one can fly and one cannot fly haha :P
my fren told me his social circle is getting smaller..but i told him mine social circle was even smaller...to be honest...i dont have many true friends that knew me inside out...friends that i could pour my heart too and true frens that can lend their listening ears...and during this hols...most of them are at work or doing intern...and it's difficult to organise an outing...n everyone seems to be bz with their own stuff...so most of the time i end up at home..couped up and trying to be fat but to no avail :) sometimes i jus wish i could find things to do to kill time..or have someone to kill time with me haha..i have 1 mth of hols left..
time to recommend another song...this song is by 羅志祥 - 我不會唱歌...a very touching song..the MV is bout him who used to be a good singer..but he was deeply hurt by the female counterpart and he lost the will to sing again...i will only post part of the lyrics that i find very meaningful..
是的感情不是K歌
音阶一字不漏
不见得感动
我努力唱完主歌
我忘了走音没有
我到底哭什么哭什么
明明搞笑的
我努力唱到嘶吼
我不怕剩我一个
只要你能记得
这首歌给我最爱的
would you be there for me..

im supposed to continue last night as stated in my last post..but...i didnt haha :) one reason was because i forgot..the other reason was DURIANS :Þ last night Yiwen called and I went down to Toa Payoh with my mum to buy the durians..the yummy good good durians hahA..im not really a durian lover but i still ate :) whenever there are good stuff or good bargains...D always come into my mind first..it's like I want her to have it too, to share the good stuff...i jus feel that way..n i hope to have that treatment too :)recently i saw the houses at Sentosa..and i knew they were my dream houses...den I can buy my own yacht and go out to sea to fish as n when i like...haha...n then i can invite my frens over for a BBQ party...n when we are done, we could go to the 1°15 club to relax relax hee:) hmm...but that's a dream...n i will work towards it...but i dare not have too much hope nor ask for too much...the higher u aim, the harder u fall...i dont want to be disappointed again..not a good feeling I must say...
i dare not ask or expect too much now...i will try to be satisfied with what I have...no point asking for the sky rite? hehe...but what if what u ask for isnt as high as the sky?what if u can easily achieve it?and yet you do not have it..
im hungry already...shall have my dinner now and watch show...
