i ♥ the fratellis

whoa... my new love for music... the fratellis... i'm into indie and alternative music nowadays.

And it's growing inside me...

can't live without music...

i ♥ my iphone

got my new contract with Singtel and of course the white smashing looking, huge and bling bling 16GB iphone.

been using it for a few days... not good. life sux cos phone sux. haha

battery life sux, sms sux, there's limited "phone" function in this iphone, not really user friendly as compare to my old nokia phone. come to think about it, maybe i should have gotten myself an E71.

but, but.. love the little apps in iphone that keeps me busy while waiting for bus. Block puzzle my fav!!! clear all the 10 stages but still playing it again and again. After i submitted my score, i found out that i was the only one in singapore playing this game and bother to submit my score. =.="

but after all, iphone is still my love. my first touch phone. *sexy* i'm still lov'in it!

The amazing race, how i wish i could a little part of this

i just watched another episode of the amazing race season 13. I'm really jealous that people back in the US, they can participate in all these reality show. After watching all these reality tv, the one that strike me the most is the amazing race.

i'm whoa by the different countries cultures, the thrilling road block they performance, the once a lifetime experience that you won't get a chance unless you're in the amazing race.

i wish i wish i wish i could be in the amazing race, perhaps i need to migrate to US to do that? i will need to find a lifetime partner or friend.. wahaaa.. i wonder who will i get to go to the race. even in singapore, who will share the same passion and love for the once a life time experience with me? i wonder?

hahaa.. good night enough of dreaming...

counting down to days without mj

this weekend no mahjong for me.... jx in camp, so i spent my friday night chilling out in brussel sprout. Wonder what's in their beer that makes me drowsy and sleepy.

celebrated yihui's birthday on Saturday at Sushi tei at paragon, when from orchard to bugis sungei road to mustafa center. :) practically running around looking for an indian pot and big rice cooker. was a nice lazy breezy saturday. i don't mind running around singapore and walking to places that i dun even go... like sungei road, that was an interesting trip. these people are selling everything they can find in the dump. but there's some unique old ornaments store, they rest were just rubbish i thought.

sunday nearly go sentosa for a sunny tan, unfortunately, ah fang got a swollen lips.. =..=" i wonder what happen the night before. ;P so spend the rest of the afternoon snoring and watching zohan.. crappy and fun i would say.
later that night we went to catch at show at jurong point, butterfly lover, don't ask me why. that the only movie at that time slot, so i thought as least i could admire wu zhun in the movie. dissapointed by the movie as to compare to the previous version by charlie yeung. the story was too segmented and hard to grab viewers' emotions. :D

Zohan 3.0/5.0
Butterfly lover 2.0/5.0

what's wrong with me..

i'm scared, curious and worried.

stop thinking bout it. stop thinking. but i can't help it.

i'm losing my sanity. i paused. i came upon this interesting quote.

It is naively assumed that the fact that the majority of people share certain ideas or feelings proves the validity of these ideas and feelings. Nothing is further from the truth... Just as there is a 'Folie à deux' there is a 'folie à millions.' The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same form of mental pathology does not make these people sane. (in: Fromm, The Sane Society, Routledge, 1955, pp.14-15)

sp rovers alumni chalet - 4th october

had a rough day on the day of the bbq, still bother by my client and my project.

tired, exhausted, without sleep for 24 hr i quickly bathe and pack my bag to the chevron chalet. On my way there, jx called me and we meet at IMM to look for some DVD to sing in the chalet, i tried my best to convince him not to buy. thinking that no one will sing if you've mahjong at the chalet, and i was right about it. :) kl keep rushing me back to collect money from them.. Zzzz

i tried the roasting pineapple for the bbq, thinking that it'll be as good as what i did at chye's place. Oh damn, the uncle gave me a super juicy sarawak pineapple, my pineapple sux and in return of that i got a big laugh from them and kana suan big time.


had a great time playing xj's game, i sux at pictionary, but as least did well in taboo... haha.. really glad to see the fun and loving side of rovers. once again, it feels like i'm back to the poly days togather with them. although all of us are already working i think we all have our own good old days in rovers which will not be forgotten and shall stay in all of us for the rest of our life. why i sudden so emo.??! wahaa.. random thought of the day i guess.

i was feeling damn exhausted, no charger at the chalet, phone low battery, no choice but to go home and rest for the night. but, i checked my email when i'm back home that night, and got disgusted by my client. decided to sleep and hopefully ignore it and spend my sunday peacefully.

thanks to my mahjong kakis to make this a successfully event!! u guys rocks and we shall do it again, shall we? :)

I'm Brontophobia

I'm afraid of thunderstorms, every times when it thunder and lighting strikes, my heart shudder. On magazine, it wrote, it might be due to childhood trauma. well, i do remembered one incident when it’s was raining heavily and my mom had no choice but to go out for awhile running errands, I was only in primary 3 or 2 I think. I kept the lights on in the kitchen and living room and waited for my mom to come back, and i was alone in the kitchen when a sudden thunder caused a blackout. Of course, I was scared, timid and started crying. I didn’t know what to do except to cry and cry and it kept raining. The whole house was dark except for light from the greyish sky and white lighting flash. For dunno how long, I heard my mom's approaching footstep along the corridor, and I felt a huge relief.

Til now, I will try all my best to stay indoor or under any solid shelter whenever it rains and turn worst to thunderstorm.

caribbean bbq

last night we had a company BBQ at my boss place, caribbean near vivocity. i've been to the place before, but still think it looks really pretty and scenic at night. Especially the swimming pool overseeing the Keppel marina club.

BBQ started with strong fire and burnt all the food that are on the grill. They keep pouring water over charcoal, that didn't help much. the new breed charcoal is giving me problem for the BBQ, i still love the old big charcoal that we can stack a tepee and let it burn into amber slowly.

Anyway, the bunch of ADULT started to drink and fool around digging dark secret from each other. Not my cup of tea i thought. it's bad for health and brain..lol... i had to keep my sanity that night.

meaningful sunday

last Sunday when to Ubin and got sun burnt, when will i learn my lesson to put on Sunblock. Really scare that i will get skin cancer, choy!

all thanks to priscilla, i went to volunteer for campvision as a helper last sunday, it was really fun and i had a different sunday that weekend. meaningful yet tiring. I woke up at 6am and traveled all the way to changi village.

the youth are from the different boys' and girls' home, they are kind of naughty and noisy at first. But i find them well-behave than some of those kids in the classrooms. I believe that when they grow up, they'll have the ability to shape and change other people life too. relating experience on what they've been thru during their teens life, they're more mature and natural leaders.

人本无“好坏”之分，因为人性皆有多面性，只是不同的人在不同的时间和空间里会释放不同的侧面。

sometimes, i just think that we really should find time to do some meaningful things in life. that way, you won't lose yourself in this world.

找回自己， 不想迷失在这大城市里。

Prison break and xoxo

Prison break and Gossip girls NEW SEASON!!!!

omg, i'm so excited on gossip girls season 2.. serena and dan got back together.. oooowww soo happy. at least i won't need to see dan with vanessa.... lol....

Friday went bowling with my fellow colleagues at raffles town club, fun and at the same time my fever came back to haunt me later that night.

So saturday i went back to the clinic for re-diagnose, hehe.. actually just try to get some cough and flu syrup as my fever subside after a good night rest. Doc told me the diarrhea i had for past few days as side effects of Tamiflu. i did an intensive search on the web and finally i know why i had 2 bad nightmare over that flu week. (i seldom dream at night and even if i do i don't remember the details). problem with these 2 dreams i remembered the nitty gritty details of the dream. i dreamt the death of one of my sec school mate whom i don't even keep in contact with. that night i went to facebook and see if he's still around.. lucky, i told my colleague they say he's going to live a long life as dream are always the opposite. bless him. i scare the hell out of me for having all these dreams...

please no more flu virus and even though the pill did effectively bring down my fever and i feel very much better after that.

hoohohoh...

Wall.e and crystal jade dine in at vivo

yesterday, we had a $$$ dinner at the crystal jade dine in at vivocity. all thanks to da xiong, we only had 30 mins left for dinner and movie at 8.30pm. da xiong still can stroll to us with a smile on his face "hey i got $30 voucher for crystal jade...",

"you sure we got enough time to eat"..
"half an hour left only le"..

and you know what, 4 of us ended up sitting in the restaurant waiting for food to be served. The ambient was pretty over looking the sea view to sentosa and we're like no time for such scenic stuff. Just wanting to tell the staff to give us our food QUICK!!!..

we just order 2 plate of noodles and 1 fried rice, 1 side dish tofu for sharing. For the amount that we paid, we could have gotten more food and variety from the holland v branch. As usual, da xiong behaviour-> just wack... food is good don't get me wrong, just that wrong timing and wrong day to do so.

We managed just in time to catch wall.e, hmmm might just missed the opening by a few minutes. hehee.. overall think that it's a okay show, some parts are witty. it's that kind of movies that is very positive and after the show, there's hardly things that you can really talk about, maybe only murmuring wallllleeeee~~~~~~ thru the night.

Walle - 3.0/5.0

my weekend with gossip girls

i was teasing my male colleagues watching gossip girls a few months back. look what I've done over this weekend, i completed the whole season 1 of gossip girls. can't help myself, they have a cast full of young, pretty and good-looking hunks. keep me wanna watch them on the next season coming out soon on 1st September. well, can't wait... sweet s and d, they look prefect together.

was at west coast doing some poly gathering last Saturday evening, heehee... kinda of a busy Saturday for me. After my kick boxing lesson, i rush home to bathe and rush down to west coast. finally got to use my Rollerblade after a few months. Getting rusty of my roller skill. hurhur~

watched "Warlord" last night, Woah not a bad movie though i don't really fancy Jet Li. But isn't all war movies plot looks alike somehow?

Warlord - 3.5/5.0

13th Aug Run

Run run away

Kick kick punch punch

had my 1st kickboxing lesson today, it was really enjoyable and tiring at the same time.

just a few kick and punch i was already exhausted.

but good exercise, i feel good. :P

Dark knight x 2

Went to catch dark knight again tonight... can't get enough of christian bale i would say.

and trying to catch a glimpse of edison chen as the security guard, which i didn't took notice of him the first time i watch the show. rumored that they cut most of his part away in the movie due to the sex scandal. also tried to stay till the end to see if there any tickles of the batman III -- nothing. hahaa..

moon looks bigger and closer to earth today, there must be huge tides.
And, it's slightly cool tonight time to watch my deadliest catch.

THE DARK KNIGHT standing by the RED CLIFF

i was lucky enough to have the free passes for The Dark Knight premier last thursday. the whole level of cathay was that packed with people that we've to squeeze our way into the cinema (that's why it's free).

after watching christian bales and heath ledger bravo~ for their awesome performance in this movie. i keep asking and telling my friends that they shouldn't miss it, that tells how much i love this movie. after the show ended i stared blankly, reminisce on the unexpected twist at the plot, the 2 male lead in the show, the death of h ledger, a sudden dark, sinister, feeling of depression came pouring over me.
*WOAH* hahaa. that's the power of dark knight~

RED CLIFF, based off from the Romance of the three Kingdom.

Like most of the girls, i don't read up on romance of the three kingdom. The sight of the thickness of the book and lines and lines of chinese text just push me away from it.

sometimes, i kind of thanks such movies that makes me wonder the historical event that happens in the past and what exactly are true and what's not.

but often, i ended up in wikipedia looking for the answer. :)

time to read on the romance of the 3 kingdom or some history lesson and look out for these names, liu bei, guan yu (or guan gong in our modern days representing loyal and justices), cao cao, zhao yun, zhang fei.

the dark knight - 5.0/5.0
red cliff - 4.0/5.0

SENTOSA - my first Islander

WANTED by James Mcavoy

xj, jx, kw and me decided to catch a show at jurong point - wanted by james mcavoy.

well well, he's one of my favourite british actor! i love all his show, from becoming jane, penelope and atonement and Mr tumus in naria. wahaaa.. almost couldn't recognise that it was him!!

i kind of like his character in this movie, started out as a 8 to 5 normal boring office worker, a insignficant lifeform in this world. but, movies are often exaggerated - he can shoot curving bullets to avoid hitting angelina jolie. he can shoot the wings of the fly. <- makes me think all i need to do is to pump my heart faster and i can see everything in x10 slower. wahaaa...

So What the Fuck Have You Done Lately?

wanted - 3.0/5.0

bye bye Miss Philippines

catch him on deadliest catch

i do have a habit of searching someone's profile on the internet after a show or movie...

tonight i been looking up edgar hansen of northwestern, like him so much on deadliest catch.

check him out, freaking cute la... lol..

Oh is her wedding day!

BKK 07 - 14 May... again.. :)

this is mine second time this year... omg... just came back around march...

oh no, i shall banned myself from Bangkok for a year or so... too much of the shopping trip makes me utterly broke... i need more CASH.

well, i had great fun though, every trip is different. for this trip i stayed at khao san where all the foreigners hang out, a pretty sight and vibrant at night, heart the vibe, the pubs and bars there. the hotel room we stayed in was awesome. it's clean, cheap and 2 beds for 4 of us to party. i just love it.

we embarked a religious trip to Golden palace on our third day. Berber and my 3/4 pants didn't make it through the golden gate, ended up we wore thai sarongs. *ha*

We also embarked on the journey to north of bangkok "Ayuthaya", where we get close up with the olden days temples and Buddha. the stones step to the entrance to some of these monuments are very very high. takes me a HUGE step up. well, we spotted a list of things tourist shouldn't do. and 1 thing caught my eye.


seriously, don't do that.

after this religious visiting, seriously i can say that i been to other places other than furiously shopping in bangkok city.

i do want to have another trip to bangkok, but it will be beaches this time.
swim in the water, lying in the sand, watching the sky, feeling the sea breeze.. hmmm..

zzzZZz

sad to say goodbye everytime...

Farewell to lovely Miss. lulu,

you'll be missed. i is so sad. i want to cry. :(

little does she knows that she brighten up the office everyday she walks into the room.

making little gifts for everyone. little pouch, little badges, flowers.

and of course the heavy dosage of chanel/DKNY/perfume fills the air wherever she goes. practically a walking air - refresher.

here's the sad note from her.

last letter from mr. killer

Fare well to lovely psycho Mr. Killer,
little do i know about his hidden passion on his job and us, here's his last letter to us.



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

Hey Babes,

As many of you probably know, today is "CONFIRM" my last day. But before I exit glamorously, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know what a great and distinct pleasure it has been to type "Today is my last day."

I wouldn't, possibly, say everything that is in my mind, but I have enjoyed knowing XXX XXXXX XXXXXX and working with everyone over these 8 months -

(seems like only 4 - 5 months stay but like what i've always say, maybe i wasn't talking to anyone for the first 3 months seating next to the toilet - I'm the human suction to all the smelly air coming out from the toilet, you know what I'm talking about it don't you!).

Even though i may come across extremely nonchalant but I'm always full of PASSION, LOVE to those that have been very kind and nice and full force "DIFFICULT" attitude to whoever that is a snob, nasty and worst of also "CLUELESS" .

Thank you for all for the guidance, support, laughter, and companionship you babes have provided me, i've never actually work in a quite loosen up, all BABES environment which is really overwhelming to me when i first step in. (Maybe too loosen up that's why I'm forever late lately) You have all enriched my life in different ways.

Super-duper love and great big hugs to you all for hanging in there with me while I had my "freak out, whatever grumpy mood swing, you named it". I don't want to leave. I appreciate your love and everything "we all stand for". Thank You. Love to all, I will miss being your co-worker and will cherish our short lovely history together.

Almost everyone is leaving one by one, from "Exxx - Txxxxx - Zxx - Exxxx- Axxxxx - Bxxxxxx - Axxxxxx - Lxxx ...... definitely heartbreaking to what is happening.

But still have to say XXX is a great place, CXXX is really inspiring, i personally feel during my interview, which I decided to join XXX.

I'm going back to the arms of the stringent regulations working environment in the next job scope, people there are not going to be extremely exciting but is definitely good for my progress.

Last of all, I know this may sound super cliche, but glamorously sincerely with all the glitters and bling-bling (definitely not trying to be gay here). I wish you individually and collectively the best of health, love, happiness and success in the future :)

Robert Downey Jr. The Iron man

i love iron man movie.
having low expectation towards this DC comic movie seems to works for me this time. *ha*

gold and red iron though not my fav colour but i does look pretty good on

Robert Downey Jr.

it's damn cool la.

iron man - 4.0/5.0

it's yaya birthday at brewerks

we hang out at brewerks last night..

had a sumptuous dinner - buffalo's wings, pizza, mash and sausages and very sweet beer...

after all the heavy dinner, we had another drinks at harry's bar... hohoho.. quite relazzzz...

The Celebrity Apprentice - Piers Morgan

Just finished watching the final episode of the apprentice, trace vs piers. country singer vs british tabloid editor. definitely not good vs evil, they're doing it for their own charity... yeah...

i love both trace and piers...
i like the way piers played the game, also i prefer trace quiet confidence...

i m kind of surprise by the bsb list of items to be in the green room... omg that's hell lot of stuff for the celebrity.. and it's really funny to see the expression on trace face when they ask for weed grass juice and the ultimate black finger nail polish.

i love this season apprentice, so much of the Omarosa and Piers fighting and i can't tolerate Omarosa's nonsense, if i were piers i would have slap her till she fly flat on the wall.... hohohoho

anyway, congrat piers and support trace's single "You're Gonna Miss This"...

bowling, sing and eat

zzzzzzZZz...

DOraemon Mahjong kakis

xj and i went bkk and saw these doraemon character t-shirt... decide to buy for our fellow da-xiong look-a-like mj kakis and of course ourselves.

latter all of us, well, quite old actually and still act cute, furthermore we wore it to our rovers campfire last week!

SO KAWAII~ haaaaa

after the campfire, as usual alumni la teh activity at the king albert park mac. eat french fries drink milo while waiting for our midnight movie at AMK hub "water horse". I had no idea wth i'm doing at amk hub when i stay at west side, anyway they're driving.

my new toy holga

el went to hongkong and managed to grab a holga starter kit at a lower price for me. trying to get the adapter for 35mm film, medium format is for the rich. haha.

my first roll of film was very very experimental... i carefully winding the film to the first slide without loading in the batteries. No batteries = No flash = VERY dark photos.

second roll of film was slightly better, still there are times where i didn't open the lid or didn't switch on the flash. i guess all of us were so used to the digital camera that we lost touch with the early days when every film/slide cost $$ to develop and we take selective shots not to waste the 36 shots in a roll of film.

here's are some of the 9 photos out of the 12s, i had no idea what went wrong for the other 3s.

just another day

14th feb - st valentine day...i rush home after work...
this year kinda of special- no flowers, no chocolates and no valentine...

my office was almost emptied at 7pm, well it's a rare sight. so i thot i hurried home too.

:)
