2009-01-19T01:41:00.003+08:00

great weekend wif many many great returns!!!

we were scoutin around for Karen's Bday gift on Fri evening...got her an i-pod nano oredi...jus tot it would b complete wif some nice accessories...nothin appropriate...walked around the shops...nothin in Orchard Cineleisure seem to be of interest to the both of us...left for dinner instead..wats better thn filling our stomaches...drove aimlessly as usual...avoided the CTE and ended up around Thomson area...still clueless wat to have for dinner...well...any further and we will b heading towards Chong Pang...so we decided to jus settle our dinner at some coffee shop...surprisingly...the roast meat dinner wasn't tat bad at all!!! in fact...we ordered so much..there's enuf to packet some for Daddy...who was oredi at Pasir Ris fishing pond...stayed wif him a little while before we headed home...

long string of "things to do" really kept us busy on Sat...went to Waterloo Street for thanks giving...did some shopping at Bugis Junction...some last minute redemption to ease my emo prob..grabbed 3 bermudas & a BRIGHT RED shirt..wanted to start right dis year...rather thn the usual black on the 1st day of CNY...time to meet up wif the rest of the family in Orchard...not exactly a very happy start though...cos Mummy saw my new tattoo for the 1st time...got her kinda pissed!!! Oops!! BUT...manage to pacify her...and the rest of the day was a breeze...all thanks to the New Year goodies we bought...took all her attention away from my hand at least...haha!!! after all tat shopping...time to look for dinner...and so it was...at Seoul Garden...man!!! its been ages!!! but nothing beats havin a great dinner wif ur family!!! in fact...we were so happy our stomaches were filled..we decided to head down to Chinatown for a walk..CRAZY!!! definately think we were MAD but hey!!! its CNY...bought some more stuff...Time Check: 12 plus...guess its really time to head home.. Princess and i continued our craziness back home...trying out our new clothes...matchin them wif bags...accessories...shoes...and by the time we were done...4 plus!!! OMG!! really tired!!!

Princess woke up really early...did most household work...waited for Auntie to come clean up our place...tat's oso when i was being forced to get outta bed!!! start of another shopping day...left the house at 3 plus after Auntie did the toilets & mopped the floor...sent Mummy to the salon...headed down to Bugis AGAIN to change the new clothes i bought yesterday for something else...ya ya i know...but cos it was super jam-packed...there's no way i'm gonna wait for almost an hour jus to try the clothes out...besides...the sales person told me i could make an exchange within 7 days...so i'm back!!! Oh ya!!! learnt from Mummy yesterday...only after i bought those clothes...tat we weren't suppose to wear RED on the 1st day...DAMN!!!! no point keeping the Red shirt thn...but i'm jus gonna keep this little secret...u peeps will get to see wat colour i got instead...whn i post my pics up on CNY...haha!!!! Bastard rite??!! so anywayz...spent the rest of the afternoon...looking for some suitable accessories for Princess's new dress (from Japan!!)...went back to Taka again to run some errands for my darling sis ie. buy pineapple tarts...thn left for Hougang Mall for our dinner before picking Mummy up from her new hairdo!!! Came back home all exhausted from the 2 solid days of running...cleaned up the house...put up the CNY decor...took our shower...Princess is sound asleep...but i jus had to give u peeps some updates...

so hows ur weekends been?? great i hope!!! i'm having my IPPT on Tue...F@#K!!! definately not gonna make it...praying for a miracle to happen though :)

ok peeps!!! gonna to retire now...sweet dreams everyone!!!
Nitez!! ZZzzzZZzzzZzZz...

World of Emo

2009-01-14T10:59:00.002+08:00

didnt get a good rest last nite...guess my emo got the better of me...been quite a while though...since the last relapse...

wouldn say for sure...but Bathing Ape issue had some part in this whirlpool of emotions...was surfing the net before goin to bed...thought it would be nice to find the Bape Doll (ie. monkey handphone strap) i wanted cos it was sold out when i was in Shibuya...tried ebay...went to their official website and wala...found it!!! shortlived happiness for minutes before i stumbled upon some review off the net...its basically impossible to buy any genuine Bape products online...had my 2 cents worth of doubt...went back to Bape's official website...OMFG!!!! its true!!! shouldn b feeling this way cos its jus a F@#king toy...but somewhat felt my heart still stuck on the Singapore Flyer...really SUX!!! guess i have 2 give my cous a treat & get him to buy it for me whn he's in HK...

minutes before lights went out...was flipping thru some Jap fashion mag i grabbed at Narita Airport...off i went again...regrets after regrets...poor Princess!!! the amount of grievances i poured over the last few days bout not getting my limited edition sneakers whn we were in Japan can prob deaf her...cant exactly recall my last sentence though...and i was fast asleep...

woke up thinkin it was at least 5am...but it was only 1.45am!!! GOSH!!! wat the F@#k is wrong wif me??? had my stick of cigarette...went thru all the clothes i bought back from Japan...thn this whole vicious cycle of regrets thingy came back...y in the world did i buy these clothes? wat the hell m i to wear for CNY? goin deeper into my oredi very burnt pockets to buy more suitable clothes for the new year? ARGGHH!!! drivin me insane!!!

i need to go back to Japan!!!

did the usual thingy...took a train from Tokyo station to Maihama Station...

bit complex route...but Princess & i kinda got used to it...so it wasn't much of a hassle..

My Honeymoon PART IV

2009-01-11T15:13:00.005+08:00

another great place to spend the day...Odaiba....

have some great shopping at Decks shopping Mall...

at the Seaside Mall...can get lotsa souveniers...very very kawaii ones!!!

jus across the bridge takes u to Venus Fort...a super huge shopping mall wif very "high-class" interior...next to Venus Fort is the Ferris Wheel (nothing to shout bout though now tat we have the Singapore Flyer) and not forgetting the Toyota Motor Showroom...somewhat so huge its like a mini amusement park...where u can drive around in the showroom...

inside of Venus Fort...simply magnificant!!! OMG!!!!

after a whole day of shopping...check out the Toyota Motor showroom...

one of the most fascinating thing to do when u r in Odaiba is to enjoy the sunset...

sit down...relax...enjoy a nice cup of cappucino...in the cold...wif ur cigars...wat else can i say...

My Honeymoon PART III

2009-01-11T14:43:00.005+08:00

next mornin started off really early...bout 7 plus...we were at the famous Meiji Shrine...

thn off we went to Skitamozawa...a quiet serene village area...bohemian style of shopping...quite a contrast from the busy streets of Shibuya or Harajuku...

shall let the pics do the toking....

wat did i tell u bout LUCKY BAGS even for nintendo WII...

time for food AGAIN....at a ramen restaurant...

My Honeymoon PART II

2009-01-11T13:53:00.005+08:00

so its the wake of this very mornin tat we had to rush for LUCKY BAGS...in Japan...well at least in Tokyo...the 1st week of the New Year is filled wif major SALES 30%, 40%, 50%..up to 70%...WOW!!!! most of the shops will have LUCKY BAGS...

LUCKY BAGS are bags the shops would use to fill them up wif clothings, bags, shoes, accessories...watever the shop is sellin actually...trust me!!! i have seen LUCKY BAGS for nintendo WII games...The stuff within the bag is probably worth a few times more thn the amount u pay for the bag...in other words...its SUPER WORTH IT!!! However, the no. of LUCKY BAGS each store prepares varies...some popular brands eg. Paul Smith only has 15 LUCKY BAGS...which explains the reason for the thousands & thousands of ppl queueing up in front of the stores as early as 6am....Peeps!!! i m not kidding u....

wat u see in this pic is the "tail"...where Princess & i were...cos we weren't exactly as early as the others...this is only bout 1/10th of the queue leading to the store...but since its our 1st day of shopping...couldn care less...

tat's prob all the pics we took of tat mornin...cos the whole shopping trampede was definately a rare experience for us...and we were almost breathless squeezing thru the heaps & heaps of shopper-holics...carrying some 5 LUCKY BAGS each....had to head back to the hotel to drop off the bags before we continued this crazy shopping journey...

had our lunch at this really great Udon Restaurant at Sunshine City...

after lunch...its SHOP...SHOP....& SHOP.....

some ATTAS shopping mall....Omotesan Hills

started the following day wif a hearty breakfast at Moriva Cafe...pretty near our hotel...

after breakfast...its off again to the crazy world of shopping & grabbing LUCKY BAGS....

headed out to Princess fav place...Shibuya

simply love the Prawn burger....Oops!!! not forgetting the Pork Burger too...Oiishi

thn let me introduce u to the store i queued 2 hours jus to get in...totally disgusting!!!!

BATHING APE

My Honeymoon PART I

2009-01-11T13:03:00.006+08:00

Back from the land of the rising sun...yup!!! wif many happy returns!!!

This honeymoon was sorta postponed after our wedding cos Princess and myself were pretty jam packed wif work, and other travelling plans...for biz though...and we figured since we're gonna cross into 2009...might as well do our honeymoon thn...and so we did !!!

flew off to Tokyo on 31 Dec..just in time for the countdown at Tokyo Tower!!!

before this BIG event of the year...we headed to Harujuku...one of its most popular streets..Takeshidori...great shopping area for those who adventurous enuf to go for kinky street wear...my personal fav shopping location...went back to the same street at least 5 times within 7 days of our stay in Tokyo..so u can see y...haha!!!

a must try whn u r in Tokyo...crepes!!!

due to festive celebrations...many food stalls lined up the streets of Harajuku...Oiishi Neh!!!

in Japan...its all bout eating & shopping...well at least...tat's my & Princess philosphy..wahaha!!

i mean...how can one resist to the kawaii food...

ok ok...enuf tok bout food...let's not side track too much...focus on the main reason we were here at the Tokyo Tower...COUNTDOWN 2009 !!!!

prior to the countdown...we were at a shrine just below the Tokyo Tower...prayers were conducted for blessings into the new year...super holy!!!

after prayers & all...its food again...the weather got super chilly..bout 8 degrees...but wif the winds comin at u from all directions...u definately need a bowl of hot soba soup to keep u goin...

JAPAN..Here I Come!!!!

2008-12-30T14:09:00.002+08:00

MERRY XMAS peeps!!!
sorry for the late post..cos i was SUPER tired after all the parties...
but hey...another party awaitin me..in JAPAN..woohoo!!!!
COUNTDOWN PARTY...yup yup..Princess & myself will b in Japan for the New Year!!!
a little slight hidcup though...
wanted to enjoy dinner wif some Japanese Cultural performance but since its the New Year week...the performers decided to give themselves a break too :(
our other alternative is oso screwed!!! was thinkin of enjoyin ourselves in some hot spring theme park...but F@#K!!! All persons wif tattoos are asked not to enter the theme park...in fact...if u have a tattoo...u can forget bout entering any hot spring or bath houses!!!
the thing these owners dun knoe is...I M JAPAN MAFIA FRIENDLY!!!!
wat the heck...we should still b able to party like mad i Japan..without the cultural shit & hot spring...
so peeps!! wait for my return ya!!!

Here's wishing all of u out there...a HAPPY NEW YEAR...bundled with lots of love, laughter & joy...may ur wishes come true in this NEW YEAR!!!!

Cheers!!!!

I Didnt Go Missing...

2008-12-19T00:06:00.004+08:00

must b wondering wat the hell i've been up to?? well...i'm super enjoying my break...cos i am clearing my block leave...jus nuah at home..of cos not!!! something tat i haven informed u peeps...my dearest brother was admitted to TTSH 2 weeks ago...havin on-and-off fever for a couple of weeks...after several days of various blood tests..doc confirmed tat he has bacteria in his blood...he was put on drip (to inject the medication into his blood stream) for the following 2 weeks...so FINALLY...he got discharged on Tue...after all our mad runnings up and down the hospital...after heavy persuasion & naggings from my brother...the doc reliated to a compromise...they did an insertion for him (minor surgery to insert a tube into his blood vessel)..he had to report daily for his drip for the next 3 weeks...ouch!!!! well...beats couping himself in ward wif 5 others...guess my brother did a pretty good job PRing wif all the uncles...or maybe cos he's too bored..other thn his laptop..Des's PSP...going down for his casual strolls plus smoke breaks...and our company...tats practically nothing else to entertain him...i m really so glad to see him at home..was really worried sick when Daddy broke the news of his hospitalisation to me...

admist all the runnings to-and-fro TTSH...and the smashing X'mas party last week..yes...the one tat got me partying till 3am before heading for supper wif Nick, Junie & Princess...did manage to catch my sleep at 4am though..haha!!! anywayz...did a couple of errands these few days...and today...simply shiok!!!

went to Sentosa wif Kor at 10am, supposedly to play beach volley..ended spending a whole morning wif Sam...sat at coffee bean to catch up on each others' lives...did some raccee round Sentosa Cove...man!! the houses r incredible!! thn its back to reality...so we jus chilled out at Club Islander..had beer and all...before Kor and I fulfilled what we were there for in the 1st place...beach volley...time check: 1.35pm...the rest of the programme (laid on the beach for some tan...beach volley...head for the showers) all happened within 2 hours...thn we left Sentosa for Marina Square...where we were supposed to meet Sam & Dage at 6 plus?? dun think i need to explain how we tried to kill time...SHOPPING & slacking at Pacific Coffee...got ourselves a pair of REEF slippers each...jus to satisfy my ever-ridi philosphy of not heading home empty handed :)

time was clickin really slowly.. went by like there was a thousand seconds in a minute...didnt really bother me tat much though...cos half the time i positioned myself so comfortably in the sofa..i could hardly hear my own snore...haha!! AT LAST!!! Dage, dasao & Baby Keene joined us..followed by silly Sam as he made his appearance by sticking his dumbass face on some glass panel of Pacific Coffee...heck!!! we were really happy for him!!! the long wait & pain he was going thru since last November is finally over!!! sorry peeps...once again...its not exactly an ethical thing to disclose my brother's inner most secrets...this calls for a celebration!!! well..not exactly the kind of celebration u would expect...we had our dinner at the food court of Marina Square...simple but a very heart-warming one!!! i mean...how often do u gather wif ur best pals in life for dinner admist their busy balance of work and family?? wanted to continue the night wif a game of bowling...cos Sam's new gf (E____, not sure if i can disclose this though) had some company bowling competition going on...unfortunately for us...they booked the whole bowling alley!!! didn't have a Plan B as usual...so we just took a 1 minute walk over to the acarde...decided to play pool instead...let's see...when was the last time i was holding on to a cue? hmmm...i wonder...probably long enuf tat i couldn recall...so anywayz...we really had a great time...lots of stupid jokes...lots of silly "moves" on the pool table...pity tat everything seemed so short...Dage had to bring Baby Keene to see a doc...hopefully Baby Keene will recover quickly from the mosquito bite (trust me...doesnt look at all like an ordinary bite) on his leg...the rest of us decided for go for a drink at HongKong Cafe...ok ok...apart from the 2 french toast me and Sam ordered...

so tats bout it actually...time for me to go to bed...well...weekends is jus hours away...hang on peeps!!! have a great weekend ahead!!! i m pretty sure mine's gonna b another record!!!

nitez nitez!!!

What's on the other side?

2008-12-08T14:37:00.005+08:00

returned bout a week ago from the scandinavian part of the world...took us 8 days to travel from Copenhagen to Helsinki and our last stop..Stockholm...hmmm...lets see...wats the best way to describe this trip to u peeps...its unbelievably cold...think it was -4 degrees..but wif the winds blowing at us...we were made to believe tat its the Antartic...

Arrived at Copenhagen airport on 23 November 2008..after a gruelling 11 hours flight from Bangkok where we spent 3 hours in transit...time check: 6 plus in the morning..had to take the subway to a station close enuf to our hotel...Christenhaven station...yup!! short 15 minutes ride from the airport..got outta the station and onto the streets...freezing cold...the first living being roaming the streets on a Sunday at 6 plus am offered me his nearly finished wheat..OMG!!! wad a way to welcome guests to ur country! forget bout the walk to the hotel..princess and i jus hopped onto a cab...round the corner after 5 mins drive..wala!! we reached our hotel..did all the necessary check-in...had our nice warm breakfast at the cafe in the hotel..thn took our slow walk to the city..

spent a quiet morning strolling the streets...sat at some nice cafe to hide from the cold once in a while...and we were on a canal tour...

spent 2 days in Copenhagen...went out into the countryside...experience a little snow while we were ther...but the heavy snow pour came when we were back in the city...

had 2 take a morning flight to Helsinki for yet another exciting journey...trust me...wasn't exactly how we thought it would b...

the whole city was covered with snow!!! view was absolutely gorgeous!!! unfortunate for us...we only had a couple of hours to enjoy this great view before rushing for a flight to Stockholm in the evening...and becos of my poor misjudge..we had a little too much time at the airport...cos we were there like some 3 odd hours before our flight..haha!!

FINALLY...we were in Stockholm!!!!

hotel we were put up...was minutes away from the shopping malls and office...great!!! apart from somewhat similar arthitecture...the city of Stockholm was bused wif traffic and people...quite different from Copenhagen..

and we have Old Stockholm...an old town....

this is where we bought most of ur souveniers...after spending our last 4 days in Stockholm...combed almost every street...been into almost every shop...princess and i were quite smashed!!! time to call it a day for our Scandinavian trip...really great experience...great getaway!!!

Time to return to our sunny island!!!!

Hey peeps! u can check the pics in my FACEBOOK...bout 500 of 'em...

Mini Durian Party

2008-11-16T14:54:00.005+08:00

woke up really early yesterday...bout 10am...haha...i know its prob normal for u peeps...1pm is wats normal for me can?? had to run some errands..

1. went to Sengkang post office to collect some registered mail. apparently is from the Singapore Police Force...ARRGH!!!! reservist IPPT & shoot...dreads man!!! moreover its immed after i return from Stockholm...no time for training :( anywayz...like as if i bother to train..wahaha!!

2. had to go to the Sengkang NPC to change my address...bumps!! their freaking printer is out of order...ie. i had to go to another NPC to get it done...drove all the way to Hougang...CLOSED??? cos they had some "day away"...this SUX!!! decided to give up...

3. headed to the nearest POSB bank to deposit my cheque...

4. went to Waterloo Street to pray for my trip next week...u know...thn had my fav laksa & wanton noodles for lunch

5. was at Tampines by 1 plus to get myself a new pair of specs...not tat i m sick of my PRADA...but since its all part of my employment package...might as well get myself an ARMANI too...haha!!!!

6. got some groceries from NTUC

did so much in the morning..i was totally smashed...headed home for a nap before i continue with my presentation slides..was suppose to meet Nick Boy, Karen and Devin for dinner...but the other 2 had other plans...so i m left wif Nick...went to pick him from his workplace...headed to Serangoon Gardens for dinner...great dinner...satay...hokkien mee...BBQ chicken wings..and as we were heading towards the carpark...Nick Boy bought 2 durians...thnk GOD its only 2 cos we freakin full...

back home...we had sort of a small durian party...no alcohol of cos...we were drowning ourselves wif H2O cos we felt the heaty effects almost instantly...

who said anything bout not havin fun even if its jus the 3 of us..check this out...

and i was improving my "not so bad" photography skills..

Nick Boy's Timberland Boots...haha!!!!

hope the neighbours r not complaining cos we cracked ourselves up really loud from watchin stupid videos from YouTube...Star wars in Hokkien...James Bond in Hokkien...some stupid raper from Mapo "Muar Chinese"...some freak disturbing Ah Neh (means Indian) working in a prata shop...and the ultimate video tat sent me and Nick to our knees...some auntie scolding vulgarities (not in Hokkien...not cantonese either...in English..."FUCK U!!!"....man...super damn POWER funny!!!! wat great fun...and we finally realise it was time to call it a night cos it was freaking 2am!!!!

must do this again!!! but wif the rest!!! think we will get another letter from Town Council...haha!!!

Die Hard

2008-11-13T11:16:00.003+08:00

mornin peeps!!! jus heard something really funny over the radio dis mornin..whilst drivin to work...jus wana share it...

Uncle James..not a Class 95.0 DJ...not even sure if he's really Glenn Ong's uncle...but i m very sure he calls in very often wif his dirty jokes...dis one is no exception!

The term to describe someone who dies from an overdose of viagra...DIE HARD

wahaha!!!! funny rite???

A Reunion

2008-11-13T08:34:00.003+08:00

feeling the blues now..must b the accumulated lack of proper rest..BUT i m feeling really great!! last evening princess and i had 2 guests over at our place...2 really important guests...should have been the first persons to see our place..due to unforseen circumstances..it didnt take place a year ago..after some period of struggle..we finally see the rainbow after the rain..so anywayz...as usual Baby K & Xin did their usual routine of being late...kinda improved slightly though..only an hour late..but it was all compensated when he presented me wif an i-pod with sound system &...a new Ed-Hardy cap to my collection..thnks Baby!!!

showed 'em round my place...the countless "wows" from them again made me wonder if i m in the right line of work..not sure if i will get an answer to this question...but it definately feels damn good whn u hear compliments bout ur house :) jus like how i used to tell other newly weds or about to b newly weds..who r vexed on designing their new place.."its a personal feel...remember tat its ur place..ur love nest...no matter wat ideas/designs u throw in...its a combination of ur love efforts and sense of home" well at least tats how we got our inspiration...how princess and i did up our love nest...

after the tour...after looking through our pre-wedding photo album...we had a simple dinner of canned soup and special delivery pizzas...ok ok...i know its not like a superb dinner..will whip up something good for the both of u when we return from Stockholm ya...hopefully things take a better turn for the both of u by then..i know i have said these many times before..jus need to repeat again..

there's always a reason y things happen...i prefer to see it as a good cause...for us to self-reflect on ourselves...to effect a change tat would make us better persons in life..sometimes its better for things to happen now thn later...at least there's still a chance to make amendments...all humans err...no one is perfect! wats most important is for us to realise tat we have done something wrong and move on in life not committing the same mistake again..jus part of the growing up process in life...y bother to point fingers at each other...y bother to look back at the bad past...LET IT GO!!!

marriage is a lifetime of committment..a lifetime of giving each other unconditional love...a lifetime of compromises & adjusting to each other's lifestyle..a lifetime of forgiveness and condoning each other's mistakes..a lifetime of patience and trust for each other...blah blah...everyone has to make some decisions everyday..some not so important..some life-and-death..how big or how small is not important...the important thing is...have u made a decision tat u will not regret in time to come? if u ever doubt ur decision even the slightest...thn maybe u r not making the right one afterall...once u have made ur choice...live wif it and dun regret!!!

we had a good long talk last nite...its not bout the time spent...i m more concerned whether the time is well spent...remember..at the end of the day...no one can decide for u...u have to make ur own decisions...do wat's best for u...wat's right for u...

princess and i sincerely wish u both eternal happiness!!!

Nick Boy...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

2008-11-11T22:00:00.006+08:00

2008-11-02T16:57:00.005+08:00

whilst waitin for my silly sister to get ready before we head for dinner and visit Grandma at Ang Mo Kio Hospital...let me give u peeps some updates on my Saturday day out...

woke up bout 1 plus...wanted to do some household chores when Daddy called...Daddy & Mummy heading to Rivervale Mall to buy some groceries & his fav 4D...Princess & i decided to take 'em out...shall leave the household chores to tomolo...so picked them up...thn we headed to Orchard cos we wanted to pick up the CD for our wedding photos from Ritz...stopped over at Killiney Road where we had a great Indonesian lunch...y great?? cos the food is absolutely tasty...and most imp...not so x-pensive...Daddy loved it!!!! now tat we got our stomachs filled...and picked up the CD along the way...we headed to PwC Building cos our dear Princess AGAIN forgot her wallet...left it at the office on Friday...always blur blur...thn we went to Ang Mo Kio Thye Hua Kwan Hospital to visit Grandma...

She is fast recovering...very determined to get back on her feet again...she is exercising very minute...hopefully to gain her strength to move her right limbs...it was quite a warm afternoon..so we decided to take Grandma for a stroll downstairs...in a wheelchair of cos...would love to take some pics of Grandma but i'm pretty sure she will not allow us to do tat...cos jus like me...Grandma oso very vain one...hahaha!!!! nevertheless, i still took a pic...of myself...haha!!!

Princess and i were "explorin" round the vicinity when we chance upon this vending machine...selling japanese milk tea, latte & expresso...hot drinks...so as usual...we decide to post this....the drink is not all tat fantastic...normal...very normal in fact...but jus the tot of having hot can drinks from the vending machine sounds super cool to me...haha!!

took Grandma round the hospital...lookin for some nice cooling spots cos the weather was pretty warm and humid...manage to find a nice cafetaria wif air-con...OMG!!! and wif sofas and coffee tables...damn POWER!!!! now tat Grandma is all nice & cool...she can take her dinner...which reminds me...i have a dinner appointment wif cous Devin & Carmen....after sendin Daddy & Mummy home...Princess & i took the car for a wash...trust me...its really time for one!!!!

we were at cous place for 2 reasons...PSP & Mahjong!!!! ordered some pizzas, caeser's salad, and Carmen oso made some teriyaki chicken wings....whilst waiting for dinner...me & Devin decided to play wif ROCK BAND...some PSP game...not easy really but we had great fun!!!

Dinner time!!! yum yum...wif red wine to go along...followed by dessert wine (mango flavoured)..wat else can one ask for...

no time wasted...we set up the mahjong table...and we started our "battle of the couple"..wahaha!!! no lah...jus had some really great fun at the mahjong table...entertained by cous Devin's singing and silly mahjong skills...damn funny!!! very much wanted to continue after the 1st round which took bout 2 hrs plus to complete...but on seeing tat Dev is left wif no more chips..and its bout 1 plus oredi...we decide to call it a nite...think u can figure out who lost!!! haha!! :)

well..had a great sat evening!!! came to a conclusion...think i did better on the GAMBLING thn GAMING...how bout u peeps? had a great weekend too??

"Meh Meh" Steamboat

2008-10-31T23:31:00.005+08:00

ever spent an hour crackin ur head..all becos u jus wan to find a good place for dinner?? we were stuck at Balestier not knowin wher to go for dinner...started driving off when the idea of Bak Kut Teh popped into my head..so off we went to Beach Road...went in rounds looking for a carpark space...bumped into Derrick (my tattoo artist) along the way...come to think of it...my tattoo is still incomplete...better try get it done asap!!! ok...now wat...its obvious we cant get any carpark lot for at least the next 1/2 hour...tats if we get lucky...so heck!!! we decided to give it a miss...continue to drive heading towards Ang Mo Kio cos Kor suddenly suggested we should go for Dim Sum...went pass Balestier again?! thn we spotted IT....a shop selling mutton steamboat!!!! Woohoo!!!! right in the middle of Balestier...

looked at menu...standard sets for 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 persons...but there's only 3 of us...guess its most logical to go for the set dinner for 4 persons...and tats precisely wat we did!! soup base came shortly after we placed our order..

mutton soup with herbs (understand from the waitress tat this soup is boiled for 6 hours to absorb the essence of the mutton and herbs)...sounds super good but we wont know for sure until we tried it...

the rest of the dishes were served...mutton shabu shabu...mutton dumplings...mutton spare parts (liver/kidney/organs blah blah blah)...straw mushroom...tofu...vegetables....mutton ribs...

as usual...some nice pics first before we tuck in...

and a toast to our GREAT dinner!!!!

the dinner was really superb!!! soup base super POWER!!! peeps...if u r lookin for a great steamboat...u can definately try this one out!!! THUMBS UP!!!!

Grandma

2008-10-27T14:03:00.002+08:00

woke up pretty early today..bout 1 plus..haha...well, for the past few days i woke up at 3 plus can...ever since Grandma was admitted into hospital on Wed...we have been running in and out of TTSH everyday...after receiving the sms Mummy sent knowing that Grandma had a stroke and admitted into intensive care...my memories took me back to the time when Tereave called me to tell me tat Grandpa passed on...i was out at Beach Road wif some frens...not tat i had anything important to do...just havin dinner...but the fact tat i would rather spend time outside wif my frens thn to visit Grandpa...even after Daddy informed us tat Grandpa is very sick...i was still thinkin tat i could spare some time to visit him over the weekends...i was wrong...very very wrong...Grandpa didnt wait for me...or maybe i should say...he tried his very best to wait for me...but i still didnt turn up...

i held back my tears in front of my frens...but as the guilt set in...and memories of Grandpa flashed in my mind repeatedly...i couldn help crying...tat was my biggest regret in life!!! i really hated myself thn...i promised myself from thn on...tat i would cherish every family member and will never allow this regret to happen twice!!! on my way to TTSH to visit Grandma...i was really quiet...guess i was really scared...afraid to receive any phone calls...when i finally got to the hospital and saw Grandma...u cannot imagine how relieved i was to see Grandma...but she was sleeping...Mummy told me tat one of her blood vessels in the head snapped and she was half paralysed...doc advised tat she's too old to undergo any surgery...medication was her best remedy...there's nothing we could do...only to watch Grandma suffer...she tried speakin..but none of us could make out what she was saying...besides the only "language" Grandma ever spoke..Hainanese...without Daddy as my interpretor...there's no way i m able to converse wif Grandma...through the years...i have been trying hard to learn my own dialect...but becos i was brought up by my maternal Grandma...understanding wat they said in Hainanese was as far as i got...its really difficult to communicate wif Grandma...

now tat i'm living on my own wif Princess...we don't have an alter table...i can't relate my problems to GOD as often as i did in the past...the only thing i could do...is to pray in my heart...hoping tat GOD hears my prayers...bless Grandma a speedy recovery...Grandpa! Please watch over Grandma...dun take her away so soon...let her witness her first grandchild...

2008-09-28T16:17:00.004+08:00

woke up on a Saturday afternoon...still feeling the exhaustion from the whole nite of watching DVDs...Princess got home bout 2 plus from giving tuition...had my favourite breakfast chee cheong fun...thn we spent the rest of the afternoon thinkin of wher to dine...would have been easier if its jus the both of us...but we had plans to meet Nick, Karen & Stef...after all the ding ding dong dong...we got our venue...Sun with Moon Japanese Dining & Cafe at The Central...

still had plenty of time before our appointment at 8pm...so Princess and i headed down to our favourite tailor shop in Bedok..The Next Apparel...wanted to make some alterations to 2 shirts (had the collars changed)...and accidently got myself another 4 more shirts tailor-made...the fabrics were simply FANTASTIC!!! even Princess couldn resist and had 2 shirts done...

it was only 6 plus...so we decided to head to another favourite store...Friven & Co...wanted to get some extra towels, soap dispensers, toothbrush holders etc etc....tot it would b a great idea to do our shopping at the Friven Concept Store located at Nassim Road...well..so much for concept store...huge floor area with practically nothing tat we wanted!!! Damn...on our way down the stairway...bumped into Wong Li Lin & Allan Wu wif their 2 kids....the strange thing is...instead of us setting our eyes on 'em since they were "stars"...it was the other way round...Allan had his eyes on us for a good 5 minutes...do we look like "stars" ourselves? hahaha!!!!

who cares!!! bout time we met wif the rest...so we made our way to The Central...did a little window shopping before we rest ourselves at the restaurant...past 8pm and none of them were here....Nick called ..... mailto:cf@#k!!! gave him the wrong location...haven been out too much...thought tat Central means Central Mall....wad a blunder!! poor bro...had to walk his way here...at this time Karen & Stef were too on their way...Nick arrived lookin super smart...Karen arrived wif some bad news...Stef's not joinin us cos she had some "personal" problems...but heck!!! we were out to enjoy ourselves...and tats precisely wad we did...

these pics were carefully scrutinised by Bro Nick...cos our dear Mr Vain complained tat the previous pics we posted "Clubbing at Thumper" were badly taken...mainly cos he felt he didnt look good in those pics...i assure u bro...u look absolutely cute in those pics!!! cos my colleagues said so too...wahahaha!!!!

dinner was not all tat fantastic...in fact...it really sux!!! didnt exactly enjoy the dinner...bad food + chain of unhappy news + some irritating prick tat spoiled the nite!!!! poor stef!!! but this was compensated wif Nick's jokes & silly actions...damn super funny! Thumbs up bro!!! u really did ur thing!!! after dinner...we decided to head back to our place...on our way...was playing the CD tat was remixed by none other thn DJ Nick himself...thnx for the CD bro!! its awesome!!! so good tat Karen wanted one too...so claypot chicken rice on next week???

back at home...some beer, red wine & baileys...and we were jus entertained wif Nick's nonsence & jokes...showin us some you tube downloads...must confess though...the talk shows were super good...damn hilarious!!! thn we were tempting the ladies into joinin us for some surfing action & Bali trip...think it kinda worked :) Nick worked his magic wif the cards...not magic tricks jus some card games to get us all high from drinks!! interestin game but not meant for a long nite!!

it was a super great nite out for us...really hope we can do this more often!!! think the time was 2.44am when i started sending them back home...but the time princess & i finished our shower...we were totally smashed!!!

today...we were woken up by Daddy's call...Tereave came over to deliver some homecooked bee hoon...yummy!!! after this update...time for household chores :(

Dedicated to Dave:

Sorry Bro to hear bout ur DAD leaving...deepest condolences...pls take good care of urself & family...do gimme a call if u need anything.

FISH SPA

2008-09-01T00:00:00.003+08:00

ever heard of fish spa? saw this for the first time at Singapore Flyer bout a mth back...was ther wif Kor to explore the place...haven tried it myself...today me and Princess was at Marina Square crossin over to Millenia Walk...came across Kenko Foot Reflexology and Massage...so they have fish spa too...read from the magazines couple of weeks back...Qian Hu oso has fish spa...so its a pretty IN thingy now peeps...but wad is fish spa? is it really tat good?

apparently...fish spa is all bout skin exfoliation..a key part of any skin beautifying treatment...feedback from many seem to suggest tat fish spa is so much more effective...forget salt scrubs, rubs and foot files. Why not try something far more efficient: the toothless mouths of hundreds of tiny, voraciously feeding fish?

"Doctor fish" - so named for their ability to produce healthy, glowing results from even the most crusty or diseased epidermis - are the key ingredient in a spa and skin treatment becoming increasingly popular across Japan, China, Turkey and Europe. The idea is that you immerse your feet, hands or, if you are brave enough, your entire body in a warm pool that swarms with hundreds of hungry minnow-sized feeders. The fish zoom in on your most crusty, flaky or scabby skin and chomp away at it to reveal the fresh layer beneath. You will emerge refreshed, healthy, buffed and glowing.

so peeps...how bout tryin it???

八月

2008-08-28T12:53:00.002+08:00

這個八月,莪開始沉默,喜歡在一個人的時候發呆
這個八月,莪開始承認,那些失去的東西不再回來
這個八月,還沒有結束

dis has been a really busy month for me...though its the Hungry Ghost Festival month and i'm not suppose to be doin anything for my wedding preppy...but i m still so exhausted...Princess and i have been trying to tie up some loose ends for the wedding...meeting the Brothers & Sisters, moving our stuff to the new place & spent 2 days packing the whole house, getting my vest done (oh ya!!! forgot to collect it...damn!!), getting the wedding photos sorted for the videographer and hotel, went to IKEA twice to grab some essentials for our place, top up the drinks in the fridge for our BIG day...blah blah blah!!!

at work...have been super busy preparing for my annual staff training (presentation slides & all), once tat was done...was in another crazy period preparing for the auditors...they were here since last week, busy entertaining their questions and providing them with answers, or at least tryin very hard to find the answers they wanted...now tat they r gone...i m spending some time to go through their recommendations and expected to come up with solutions to resolve them...

one consolation from all these...i can to sleep really well...cos i was so damn tired...i had no energy to think of nonsence at night...kinda happy though...at least my dark eye rings improved...hahaha!!! well i guess, life is such...

now tat August is coming to an end...marks the beginning of my busy days for the wedding again!!! on the positive side of things...i jus have to endure for another 2 weeks!!! but dun b mistaken...its not like this wedding is living hell or something...jus tat there's so much of prep goin into this wedding admist my busy schedule at work...can hardly breathe...

V6

2008-08-10T01:11:00.006+08:00

last week i was at some Financial Crime seminar...durin one of the breaks...went walkin around in Raffles City shopping mall...browsin at some of the CDs in Sembawang Music Store...when i spotted...my V6 Concert DVD...OMG!!! its been years tat i haven seen their DVDs out in the stores...very excited...i asked the shop assistant 2 get me all the DVDs of V6 they had in their store..."this is the only one we have sir"...and best part...its a damaged piece...so i had to get them to try the other stores...but to no avail...

few days back...i manage to get hold of the DVD...not only one but two DVD concert...woohoo!!! so excited i was watchin them the very same night i bought them...and i watched it again the following night...and the following night...man!!! u think i m crazy...well tats becos V6 have been my idols since poly days...

they r Japan's hottest boy group (back then and now)...made up of 6 individuals...each wif their own unique character and style...so here they are...i jus love their music...their style...
v6

Top (From Left to Right) : Hiroshi Nagano, Yoshihiko Inohara, Masayuki Sakamoto
Bottom (From Left to Right): Ken Miyake, Go Morita, Junichi Okada

V6 is made of 2 groups...
20th Century - Hiroshi Nagano, Yoshihiko Inohara, Masayuki Sakamoto
Coming Century - Ken Miyake, Go Morita, Junichi Okada

These boyz are super awesome wif their singing...acrobatic dance moves...cool outfits...tat explains y they are so hot!!! but they only hold their concerts in Japan :( so sad...dun think i will ever get to see my idols perform LIVE...the only way...buy their DVDs...i basically bought almost every single, album, concert VCD/DVD of theirs....since they started out like 12 years back..WOW!!!! loyal fan right *puke*...hahaha!!

the thing i admire bout these boys...they started as strangers...got together as a boy group by chance...stuck wif each other thru thick & thin...seeing each other every now and then...despite all their individual busy schedule...for a TOTAL of 12 years...super impressive!!! i dun even recall havin tat many frens who were wif me for more thn 12 years *sob*

so anywayz...the one i admire most becos of his constant change in image...Ken Miyake!!! man...this guy is totally cool!!! good looks and i must say...super daring to try lots of hairstyles...and still look very good!!! dun believe...see for urself...

how issit?? cool rite?? tats y he's my idol!!!!

English + Chinese = Chinglish

2008-08-08T13:58:00.001+08:00

You might like it. This is hilarious... ..even an Englishman could not construct sentences using numeric, which is exclusive only to Malaysians and Singaporeans. Ah Lek was asked to make a sentence using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10. Not only did he do it 1 to 10, he did it again from 10 back to 1.

This is what he came up with.....

1 day I go 2 climb a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple saw me, so I panic and 4 down. The man rushed out and wanted to 5 with me. I ran until I fell 6 and threw up. So I go into 7-eleven and grabbed some 8 to throw at him. Then I took a 9 and try to stab at him. 10 God he run away.

10 I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and left 7-eleven. Next day I called my boss and told him I was 6. He said 5 , tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. He also asked me to go climb a 3 and jump down. I don't understand. I am so nice 2 him but I don't know what he 1.

COSPLAY コスプレ

2008-08-06T12:14:00.007+08:00

hi hi peeps!!! sorry i was really busy wif work...didnt have much time to update...but since now its lunch time...can afford to squeeze in somethin interestin...

COSPLAY コスプレ, short for "costume play",is basically describing a performing-art behaviour of self-rigging out as a character with corresponding costume, accessories and/or parameters.
In society, interactions of "cosplay" behaviour form a subculture centered on dressing as characters from manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, and less commonly, fantasy movies, Japanese pop music bands, Visual Kei, fantasy music stories (such as stories by the band Sound Horizon), novels, and anything in the real world being unique and dramatic (or their more anthropomorphic form). In some circles "cosplay" has been expanded to mean simply wearing a costume, without considering the mind of an actor and the common form of "cosplay" in a major "cosplay" culture.

some individual shots...super POWER man!!!!

and if u need something to paste on ur door to warn off evil...try this...

Wahahaha...hahahaha...hahahaha...hahahaha !!!!!!!!

TONI&GUY Graduation

2008-08-04T00:25:00.007+08:00

now tat i have my hot cup of Blackcurrent Tea wif me...can start bloggin bout my weekends...sorry peeps...was totally smashed (sleepy + abit drunk) yesterday...couldn keep myself awake to blog...woke up only at 4pm today...realised tat i wasted 1/2 my Sunday sleeping...i had 2 delay this blog and rush to Tampines Giant & IKEA to grab some stuff wif Princess & Daddy...needed to top-up the drinks in our fridge for our Wedding Day...and grab some storage boxes from IKEA...

so yesterday was Ah Chen's Graduation from TONI&GUY HairDressing Academy...

TONI&GUY have been cutting and colouring hair for over 40 years, they have produced some of the most striking imagery in the industry...really proud of him now tat he has completed the course after a tiring and stressful 36 weeks of training...really sorry Bro i wasn't at your Graduation due to some "hidcups"...thank God i was able to make it for ur post graduation celebration...tats when i learned tat Bro was awarded the "Most Outstanding" student award...needless to say...he's the only one out of 6 students (2 dropped out of course eventually) who will join TONI&GUY hair salon...POWER lah bro...u make me so proud of u!!!

met the others up at the Bak-Kut Teh stall along Mohd Sultan bout 10 plus...had our dinner there while waiting for Chen to tie up some loose ends at his Graduation before joinin us...thn Sharon told us bout Chen's new girlfren...Woohoo!!! another good news!!! apparently...she was oso training wif Chen...a Korean...ahn nyeong ha se yo....hahaha!!! so our man of the night is here...at last...we were introduced to Park Seung Min (aka Mina)...a very quiet girl indeed hiding behind Chen when he was doing the introductions...OMG!!! Bro look like he was sufferin from severe insomia...prob didn't sleep for nights...too stressed over the graduation it seems...well...he had to prepare some theme haircuts for this special day..."Sci-fi"...sounds like a really weird theme if u ask me...but wad the heck!!! he's TONI&GUY new hair stylist!!! yippie...can get free haircut!!

while Chen & Mina ate slowly wif their dinner...the rest of us headed to Db1-0...this is where the real party begins! OMG...me and Princess felt really old when we were ther...how many years now...hmmm...thinks its been nearly 5 years since we last partied!! nothin really changed...we still had to queue up for entry...surprise surprise...they actually checked our ICs...hahaha!! but the bigger surprise came shortly after...

Cover charge for guys : S$20

Cover charge for ladies : S$15

with NO FREE DRINKS!!!! believe it????

managed to get ourselves a nice comfortable sofa seat jus next 2 the SMOKING ROOM...ordered some beer while waiting for the others to join us (some still eatin...some still in the queue...some didn't turn up...blah blah blah)...so anywayz...the drinks were pretty cheap..form of compensation for the cover charge i guess...Chen & others joined us...we finished our beers faster thn the waitress could take our orders and bring us another...literally one jug after another...bout 1/2 hour before the club was suppose to play R&B music...we ordered like some 4 packets of potato chips, one nachos wif cheese dip (think the ones at Golden Village tasted better), one chicken pizza tat was incredibily small in portion...finished every crumb tat was left...we were taking photos (i will post them when i get hold of 'em from Sharon) and crackin really SILLY jokes...makin fun of everything and anything (including the couple tat french infront of us...its a glass panel for goodness sake!!! tok bout desperate souls!!)...thn we headed to the dance floor...this is one hell of a night...

1. DJ played Retro music (sux!!!) till bout 2plus before he hyped up the dance floor wif R&B

2. Crowd there obviously had no idea wat's good music

3. Crazy ppl hanging from bar-like structures whilst dancing (thnk God it didnt collapse)

4. Dance floor was f@#kin packed wif sweaty ppl...jus hate it when they rubbed themselves into me

5. virtually a sauna on the dance floor

we decided to call it a night bout 3 plus...headed home safely (without any TP stopping us from all the alcohol)...took my shower and laid "coma" in my bed till this afternoon. it was indeed great fun...all the best in your new career bro!!!

Got Almost Everything :)

2008-08-03T23:29:00.005+08:00

after so much of trouble lookin for it...i didnt get my Armani watch eventually :(

after careful consideration...though its really nice 2 add another watch to my collection...decided 2 give it up and bought something more practical instead...my new Ermenegildo Zegna belt...but jus like my Marc Ecko watch...i have to wait patiently till Daddy & Mummy present it to me durin Tea Ceremony...

it didnt take me long before i decide on getting this belt...hmmm...after going thru like 6 shops in Paragon...Mont Blanc, Gucci, Prada, Hugo Boss, Armani & Burberry...many of which either had designs tat were too simple (rectangular buckle wif some lines across and a little logo)...or designs tat were super LOUD (i m not exactly looking for a party belt)...some designs were jus completely boring (seen similar design belts every season...for the past few years OMG!!!)...when i stepped into Ermenegildo Zegna boutique...i was mesmerised by two belts...of which Princess said one of 'em had a buckle tat was too small for me (in comparison to my SIZE)...arrrgh!!! time to go on a diet!!! so i was left wif only one choice...this belt!!!

its the latest collection for Ermenegildo Zegna...a reversible belt (brown epic on the reverse)...very suitable for formal office wear...stylish (not 2 simple not 2 loud) and most importantly...i dun look like "ah peh"...haha

so this is my wedding gift from Daddy & Mummy...Thnx Daddy Mummy!!! Love u both always!!!

TONY LEUNG & CARINA LAU MARRIED...

2008-07-22T14:52:00.004+08:00

HONG KONG - One of Hong Kong's leading entertainment couples, actors Tony Leung and Carina Lau, were married in Bhutan in a Buddhist-inspired ceremony attended by the tiny kingdom's royalty, local media reported on Monday.

Tony and Carina married in the reclusive Himalayan kingdom, known for its breathtaking, pristine natural scenery, on Monday at the exclusive Uma Paro resort.

Newspapers and websites carried photographs of Tony and Carina, who have been together for many years, posing before a congregation of monks in red robes, Tony wearing a tuxedo and Carina in a white gown.

Bhutan royalty reportedly attended the ceremony along with 100 guests, including Canto-pop diva and actress Faye Wong.

"Thank you everyone for making such a long trip to attend our wedding. I believe it is destiny that gathers us together here," Carina was quoted by the South China Morning Post as saying.

Carina said she had chosen Bhutan for her nuptials after a spiritually uplifting visit to the snow-capped Himalayan kingdom.

"I felt the peace the moment I arrived in Bhutan ... I could understand that people here are happy not because of their material life, but because of their satisfaction on a spiritual level," Carina was quoted in the paper as saying

2008-07-21T13:18:00.005+08:00

Oops..almost forgot to update u peeps on my latest craze...think its been quite a while (few months) since i bought my last watch...my Vagary limited edition gold watch (LV lookalike)...will take some pics of it and post next time round ya...so to add on to my collection of fanci watches...went on a shopping spree wif Daddy, Mummy & Princess yesterday...ok ok...i m saving hard ya...the watch is free!!! not my bday gift...but for the tea ceremony...a gift from my mother-in-law (but charged to Princess)...hahaha!! thanks dearie!!! i love the watch!!!

jus in case u peeps do not knoe...i dun go for branded watches...tag heuer, bretling...not my cup of tea...its usually the design of the watch tat will catch my eye...irregardless of the brand...becos i've only a small collection of watches (4 pieces only)...its important i make really careful decisions in selecting one...u see...i m not all tat spendrift afterall...*puke*

so anywayz...i got my gift...its from Marc Ecko (concidentally its branded)...i was comtemplating between this watch and one from Kenneth Cole...but eventually its the blink blink on this watch tat won me over...squarish design, white monogram face with blinks all round the edges, stainless steel strap, very heavy...i will let the pictures do the talking...

this is it...my new Marc Ecko watch...damn super cool!!! but i can only wear it after my wedding :( so looking forward to put it on...meanwhile...Mummy oso suggested she wanted to get me a new watch too...well at least tats the impression i got yesterday when she said..."u like? if u wan it..Mummy buy for u"...woohoo!!! can get another watch!! talk bout right timing...hahaha!!

i did my homework...set my eyes on these 2 watches...

tough choice!!! one is square-faced (my favourite cos i think it suits my hand better) wif black rubber strap from EA...the other is full black metal from DKNY...dun ask me the price cos i have no clue...besides...like i said...i only go for design...who cares bout the pirce...its free wat :p

so wat do u peeps think? which one should i get? i need a decision fast so tat Mummy can give it to me during the tea ceremony as well :)

i believe most of u would agree wif me...as u grow older...bdays dun mean alot anymore...jus a simple dinner wif family & frens...jus another day of ur life...unlike the BIG celebrations we had when we were much younger...

today...went to Straits Kitchen (ya i know i jus went ther yesterday for my colleague's farewell dinner) to celebrate my 30th bday!!! not a big celebration...jus a simple dinner wif my family...wat turns out to be the greatest day!!! wat really made this day so special...loads of reasons i guess...maybe its becos this is the bday before my wedding...also my 1st bday as i step into the 30s range...also the bday tat i m still celebrating wif my baby sis since she got married last yr...watever the reason is...jus felt really great...ended capturing endless shots of this bday dinner wif my family...

so u see...i really had a SUPER great bday....thnx Princess for this day...making all the arrangements...Love u lots...muacks muacks!!!

Farewell Dinner

2008-07-19T00:19:00.004+08:00

Woohoo!!! Straits kitchen called up earlier this afternoon...secured our reservation for 10 pax today...which means i have to cancel my reservations with Ritz Carlton..many apologies...so 8 of us set off to Hyatt after work...survived all the squeezing and bumping in the MRT...we finally got to our destination...they reserved this really long table for us (meant for 13 pax)...filled the rest of the empty seats wif our bags...off we went to get our food...

StraitsKitchen is a Singapore-inspired restaurant presenting the best of local cuisine in a contemporary 'market place' setting. An endless parade of local flavours from the halal-certified Chinese, Malay and Indian theatre-kitchens including Singapore Laksa, Nasi Goreng, Hainanese Chicken Rice and Roti Prata with Chicken Curry.

i assure u this is not my first visit...reasons for my re-visit again and again..gosh!! i forgot the no. of times i ate at this place...so anywayz...

1. Food : Excellent (includes variety & quality)
2. Service : Excellent
3. Ambience : Excellent
4. Price : Reasonable (SGD48++ per person)
no credit card promo though :(
5. Location : Excellent (Grand Hyatt - smacked in the heart of Orchard)
6. Assessibility : Excellent (By bus / MRT / Taxi / Car)

okeez...any more credits and i will have to claim for my marketing charges from Hyatt :p
oh yas!!! most importantly...becos i m holding my wedding here as well...hahaha!!!

enuf of crap...so i started my 1st round wif some Naan, a slice of Murtabak, some chicken masala and lamb rendang...yummy!! 2nd round: had a bowl of laksa...sorry peeps...forgot wat i had for the subsequent rounds...hmmm...how many rounds did i have?? i wonder??? sadie joined us when we were in our 3rd course...i think?? we had our own little gossips bout office stuff...abit of dirty talk...did my fair contribution in some sick jokes and hey...didnt lose my focus...Yvonne was still my inspiration...only strange thing...she ate super little today...Oops...hope she's not on a diet becos of wat i said...i m only joking k!!!

round after round...we jus ate and ate...till we reached some point..and i really mean we reached our max...we were jus sitting down and stoning...time to ask for the bill...one of the last few tables to leave...but it was certainly one hell of a night...

by the way peeps...this dinner was meant to b a farewell treat to Wei Jan...a fellow colleague who has decided to pursue further studies in Sweden...really nice chap!! all the best to u pal...really great workin wif u...keep in touch!! and remember to ADD ME AS FRIEND in Facebook before u leave !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-07-16T19:16:00.005+08:00

almost forgot how it felt like initially when i first embarked on this "adventure"...let me see...hmmm...recall somewhere in May 2008...i think...not so sure...i was exploding wif excitment...can't wait for 2 mths to be over...so i can complete my "adventure"...well..at least tat's wat he said to me...thn i waited and waited...anticipation faded...

its been almost three1/2 months now...today...i finally see light...finally get to see the COLOURS of my tattoo...after 6 very "painful" sessions of waiting...can't even remember whn was the last time i blogged bout my tat...well u see...cos my tattooist, Derrick is not full-time...he does it as a form of hobby i guess...but i really admire his talent...tats y i insisted on gettin him to ink for me...even if it means waiting...jus didn't expect the whole process to drag this long...guess wat peeps...its still not complete...but one consolation...its already 85% done...woohoo!!!!

if nothing goes wrong AGAIN...my tattoo will be done by early August...keeping my fingers crossed :) so anywayz...managed to capture 2 shots of Derrick's 85% work...despite my immobility cos jus ended my 6th session like 1/2 hour ago...still bleeding...hahaha...

so how peeps? nice? better say its nice cos i spent a bomb on this...and imagine the amount of blood drained out of me for this "major project"...i jus think its super awesome man...by the way...its all free hand...meaning its one and only...tats becos every detail tat is inked on me is done thru Derrick's inspiration...according to the contours of my hand and chest...cool right?? :0

can't wait to share wif u peeps the final product...but u have to wait patiently...jus like me :( hahaha

Oops I did it again...

Remember her?? During the 2007 Miss Universe contest in Mexico City, Miss USA Rachel Smith also tumbled during the evening gown competition and became an unintended star on YouTube, where the video was shown over and over again.

Is Miss USA cursed?? For the second time in a row, Miss USA Crystle Stewart fell as she walked on stage for the evening gown competition during 2008 Miss Universe contest in HANOI, Vietnam.

"My dress has beautiful beads on the bottom of it, and I stepped on my gown and they made me slip. It was like I was on Rollerblades. There was no conspiracy or anything. Nobody left marbles on the floor. It was just me." she added "I would never have thought in a million years that I would fall down at the Miss Universe pageant _ right after Miss USA fell last year," then she told the press "I think I'm going to have to take some walking classes"

Are they still having 911 aftermaths?? twin towers falling one after another? 2 falls in 2 consecutive years....hmmm....i wonder....???

The two Miss USA falls, by Crystle Stewart and Rachel Smith now join the ranks of some of the most memorable falls by famous people. These famous falls happened in public and did not cause serious injury, beyond embarrassment.

EVIL TWINS

Nipple Piercing

2008-07-14T13:32:00.005+08:00

tuning in to my fav radio station earlier this mornin...FD is back from his Bali trip...expected yet another interestin morning of brainless discussions...today's topic: body piercing...FD sharing some of his arguments wif his daughter over the weekends becos she wanted some body piercing..hmmm...interesting...kinda intriguing...had always wanted to get my nipples pierced...my tattoo artist, Derrick has one on his left nipple...damn super cool...meeting him up on Wed to get my 6th session of tattoo done...perhaps i can find out more from him...meanwhile...did a little homework on my own...found this from the net...

A nipple piercing is a piercing, centered usually at the base of the nipple. It can be pierced at any angle but is usually done horizontally or, less often, vertically. It is also possible to place multiple piercings on top of one another. A nipple piercing typically takes 3-6 months to fully heal. Some people have noted that they can take up to a year and a half to fully heal. It's recommended that if stretching a nipple piercing, the piercee waits at least the healing time of their piercings between stretches.

Nipple piercing is a fairly straightforward and easy body modification procedure. No anesthetics are used, as their use is regulated and restricted to doctors, so it would actually be illegal for body piercers to use them. The piercing itself takes only a few seconds.

Steps involved:
1. First the nipple area is cleaned and marked so that entry and exit holes for the ring are located and lined up properly. The piercings are most often set at the base of the nipple, where it joins the aureola.

2. Next a medical clamp called a Pennington forcep is applied to the nipple, holding the tissue firmly and lining up the two dots for the holes as closely together as possible.

3. Then holding a cork on one side to catch the needle, the piercer quickly does the actual piercing with a slant-tip hollow needle. Nipple piercings needs to be at least 14g in thickness to prevent tissue tearing.

4. The clamp is removed and the needle is almost all the way through the piercing. Then the ring is butted up against the end of the needle and is used to push the needle out, allowing the ring to slide smoothly into place.

5. The captured bead ring is then in place and is ready to have a bead inserted between the two end and be pinched closed.

The finished process....Ta da....!!!!!

okeez...i know..this guy dun exactly have a very attractive nipple...so it doesnt make a diff whether he pierce or not...think it would look stunning on mine though...hmmm xD

worth considering !!!

Friends Forever??

2008-07-14T01:36:00.005+08:00

have i been lying to myself for the past one1/2 years? have i really forgotten bout him? did i really move on without him in my life anymore? can someone give me answers? i really wan to move on...but i find tat the harder i try to forget...the more i can't forget...

today i received an sms from zhenhao...informing me his change of hp...told myself it doesn't matter anymore even if he doesn't inform me...cos i will never contact him anymore or anyone who is related to HIM...i know i m jus deluding myself but do i have a choice? each time these ppl call me...they never fail to tell me something tat will remind me of HIM...i have been haunted enuf for the past year...u may think i m stupid...but this is the only way i can prevent ppl from reminding me bout HIM...

yest when Princess and i were on our way to Sentosa...we remembered tat we haven bought 4D...thn when Princess mentioned there's no one to help us get...dun know y...i know i will never have such a problem in the past when i was wif HIM...cos he will always get someone to do it for me...after Sentosa...we met up wif Princess's best fren, Karen...she was having some personal problems which indirectly reminded me of HIM again...today...i decided to buy 4D myself cos i was at Rivevale Mall buying some groceries wif Mummy and Princess...queue was really long but wat the heck...wanted to get some numbers really badly...just in case they open...

normally i dun check 4D results cos i dun buy them in the first place...but today when Daddy wanted to check the results...i got really excited...had this feeling i will see the number...true enuf...i saw the number...but not my winning number...its HIS winning number...used to call him immediately when i see HIS winning numbers...but i no longer do tat...stopped doing tat for one over years now...first number in Starters 4636 (Sunday 13 July 2008)...his car plate number...in exact sequence...

tats his car and mine when we got our cars...first car we bought wif our own savings...i was suppose to get the same car wif him...but i decided its just a mode of transportation...no need to spend unnecessarily...but he thought otherwise...guess tat's the difference between him and me...our piorities in life are ever so different...we have known each other for so many many years now...been close like brothers...but something really BAD happened 2 years back...sorry peeps...can't relate what exactly happened...cos one hand i m sick of being accused of bad-mouthing...on the other hand...i m really so upset bout the whole incident i dun wish to be reminded anymore...

i know he will never get a chance to read this...even if he know my blog address...dun think he will ever be interested in reading this...but i jus wan to say this to him...jus to get it off my chest for the past year...hopefully i will recover quickly and move on...

Baby K, its been one1/2 years now...i know wat happened back thn was a nightmare to u...but likewise for me...its was the worst thing tat could ever happen to me...i know its useless for me to say anything now...but i really hope u can hear me out for the last time...even if we are going our separate ways from now on...trust me pls...i have never intended to hurt u in any way...from the day i know u even till today...i wouldn even bear to hurt u...i spent the past one1/2 years...trying to find an answer to the many questions tat pondered in my head...

i kept asking myself y did u choose to give me up? did i really do something so wrong tat you will never want to forgive me in this life? Just wat was on your mind when you rejected my apologies time and again? For so many years have i not done anything for you that is worth you considering before you decide to give me up? i m so confused...and so puzzled...why after tat incident...you still bother to care for me...bother to find out bout me from others...then overnight you treat me like your worst enemy? Just wat is it you cannot tell me? when i was over at your place to pass you your Bday gift and you rejected it...you didn't even bother to look back when i left...why were you so heartless then? Do you really hate me so much? i thought you once said that we will never keep any secrets between us...why is it when we are faced wif our situation...you just refuse to tell me anything? you always say tat some things should be left unspoken...but if you dun speak up..how u expect me to know? after so much tat we both have gone thru for so many years...is there nothing at all tat you treasure? was it jus my own wishful thinking?

wif so many questions still hanging on...how u expect me to move on without any answers?? whenever i hear from others that you are moving on wif life and enjoying your life...wif new activities...new ppl in your life...i can't help but to build hatrad in me....told myself i will throw a punch at you...spit on ur face when i see you...but each time i bump into you...i jus froze there...dun know wat to do...get super affected thereafter...i cannot do it...i just cannot bring myself to hate you...i cannot bear to inflict any hurt on you...tat makes my life even more miserable...cos i know no matter how hard i try...i will never get you back into my life...even if the day we reconcile...things will never be the same as before...this scar will stay in me and you forever...but yet at the same time...i cannot accept the fact that you can live your life without me...but i can't...and to worsen the situation...i m constantly haunted by you...

i really tried very very hard to forget you...i even removed all your pics, your contact nos and even contact nos of those around you from my mobile...but i jus cannot forget...your contact nos and your face is locked in my brain...i may have physically removed them but they still remain in my heart...sometimes i question...is it becos i really cannot live without you...or is it becos i cannot accept the fact that you actually gave me up so easily after so much we have gone thru...or is it becos you still have not answered the many questions i have...or is it becos i am just very stubborn and refuse to let go...what is it i really dun know...i very much want to know myself...cos its really suffocating me...

anyone who is readin this will probably think i m mad...tats becos you ppl dun understand me...you haven gone thru wat i have gone thru...the day you do...you will understand the extruciating pain in me...whatever it is...i jus want to tell Baby K...

Don't think i will forget you this life...and if there's one day you ever realise and want to...dun bother to make things up wif me cos its never gonna be the same anymore...dun worry...for the pain and suffering tat you made me go thru this life...i will go thru...but i will claim it back from you in our next life...deep from my heart...i sincerely wish you all the best in your life...and like what i have always wished for you...eternal happiness in whatever you do...i will miss you surely....that's the only thing tat's left for me to do...*sob**sob*

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - - A US man who was born a woman before undergoing gender realignment surgery has given birth to a baby girl, US media reported.

Thomas Beatie, who is legally male but decided to keep his female sex organs during chest reconstruction surgery and testosterone therapy, attracted worldwide attention in April after revealing his pregnancy.

The 34-year-old gave birth to a baby girl at a hospital in Bend, Oregon, on June 29, People Magazine reported Thursday.

"The only thing different about me is that I can't breastfeed my baby. But a lot of mothers don't," the magazine quoted him as saying.

It said the girl is Beatie's first child, and he had given birth naturally, not by Caesarean section.
Beatie, who sports a beard, was dubbed the 'pregnant man' after appearing on Oprah Winfrey's television talkshow to discuss his pregnancy.

"I feel it's not a male or female desire to have a child. It's a human need. I'm a person and I have the right to have a biological child," he told the chat show queen.

Beatie's unusual situation first became public when he wrote an article in the leading US gay magazine The Advocate in March, entitled "Labor of Love."

"To our neighbors, my wife, Nancy, and I don't appear in the least unusual," he wrote, explaining that his wife was unable to have a child after undergoing a hysterectomy.
So he chose to become pregnant by artificial insemination, he said.

"Our situation sparks legal, political, and social unknowns," Beatie wrote, adding the couple had experienced opposition from health care professionals, friends and family.
One doctor refused to treat the couple, after consulting an ethics board.

"How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am," Beatie wrote.

Daddy is sick :(

2008-07-10T00:50:00.004+08:00

my heart missed a beat when i heard the news from Princess...earlier in the evenin...i was still in the office when i received a phonecall from Princess...thought she jus wanted to chase me to knock off...cos Daddy and her were already waiting for me at my office...she told me tat Daddy was in great pain and had difficulty breathing...i rushed outta office...got into the car...Daddy was sitting in the front seat...he was all pale...cramped his face up cos he was in great pain...kept pressing his hand against heart...this is not good...asked Princess to inform Mummy immediately..while i rush him to A&E (SGH)...suprisingly Daddy didn't refuse much...guess he's really in immense pain...he's usually very stubborn...complained bout his back problems many times but jus refuse to see the doc...

arrived at SGH bout 6.30pm...took bout almost 1/2 hour jus to register...sat wif Daddy...he continued to press his hand firmly to his heart...i m dead worried...finally registration was over...threw in the medical file in some green looking slot...apparently some nurse will pick it up and attend to u...some nurse called Daddy's name...we accompanied him in...she took his pressure...did some routine questions..."What happened?", "Where pain?", "Any drug allergy?"...u know...the usual stuff....thn she asked him this ridiculous question..."From a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being least pain and 10 maximum pain...How do you rate the pain you are experiencing now?"...wat a dumbass question!!! who in the right mind will tell you tat the pain scale is 1...and is here jus to enjoy the hours of wait to see the doc...and pay S$90 jus for A&E admin charges??? obviously the condition is somewhat serious isn't it...really not impressed! so anyway...we were asked to wait outside while they conduct some detailed checks on Daddy...said the doc will call for us after examining Daddy...

at this time...panic stricken Mummy arrived wif Tereave...sat down together wif us...waiting anxiously for the doc to call us...so at least we know wat happen to Daddy...waited and waited...and waited...still no news...Mummy looked super worried...tried to calm her down...divert her attention by cracking some jokes...ok...the jokes were from Tereave...he was giggling and making remarks at most of the patients...basically...the both of us were in a world of laughter and sick jokes...its no wonder the uncle sitting in front of us kept turning back and giving us tat "super not impressed" look...our nonsence went on and on for bout an hour plus before Jaina arrived wif Desmond and Sharon...meanwhile...the nurse asked for my Mummy...and we thought the doc was ready wif the results...apparently not the case when Mummy told us the doc only did some tests on Daddy...goin to give him a jab to ease the pain and observe if he is required to be admitted...thn me and Desmond went to the Food Court to grab a bite...and trust me...it was really a bite...cos the duck noodles we had was so pathetically small we can basically finish it in a few mouthfuls...bought some cups of tea for the others...

continued to wait...shared the jokes we had earlier wif Jaina and Desmond...laughed again...i mean...wat better way to entertain ourselves for the long wait...of cos...there were moments we were practically jus sitting there and stoning...after 3 plus hours of wait...the young doc came out and asked Mummy in again...so we waited and waited and waited and waited AGAIN!!!! it was already 10.20pm...FINALLY!!! Daddy and Mummy walked out of the emergency room...Mummy was relating Doc's advice to the others whilst Princess and myself went to make payment...expected the bill to b a hefty sum...cos Daddy undergone Labotary tests, X-ray, some cardio tests, and medication...when i received the bill...kinda suprised...only S$90?? oic...cos Daddy is past 55 yrs old...mostly subsidised...Tereave and I thn made our way to the Pharmacy to collect Daddy's medication...Tereave cracked some silly joke again...man...when is my brother goin to stop...its so damn funny!!!

Mummy said Daddy refused to be admitted for observation...guessed as much...Doc said all tests were positive...Daddy was fine except for his gastric problems...must be the overnight food...and always skipping lunch...but still...i m worried...left SGH bout 10.40pm...headed to Lau Pa Sat for dinner...ermmm...supper?? Daddy and Mummy had something soupy...we ordered satay for ourselves...Princess and I shared a bowl of Qiu Lian Handmade Noodles...Daddy didn't finish his food...he was perspiring like mad...still didn't look good...we finished our food quickly thn headed home so tat Daddy can rest...

Now tat i m home...cant help worrying bout them...Mummy complained bout her heart last Sat...today Daddy suffered from severe gastric problems...are they really getting old?? decided to spend more time wif them no matter wat...now seriously planning to engage a maid...so tat Daddy and Mummy dun have to work so hard wif all the household chores...and we are always so busy wif our own stuff to help out...feel really bad!!! GOD...please bless Daddy and Mummy!! Bless them with good health!!!

for me...there's still lots of unfinished stuff...yet to finalise the guest list...have to send out the wedding cards soon...need to prepare the task list for the actual day...make arrangements for the Brothers and Sisters to gather and brief them...remember to order the wedding cakes...wedding lamp is still not available...have to ensure tat we get our wedding photos printed out before 7th month...Baby sis yet to get her gown...Mummy still looking for the perfect pair of earrings to match her gown...haven collected my tailor-made shirt...need to confirm with the Brothers on the shirts they will be wearing...pass the songs to videographer for video montage...GOSH!!! so many things!! and guess wat...the list goes on and on .....and on....and on.....!!!! man...really cant wait to get over with this wedding!! not tat i m complaining...but its really tiring!!!

2008-07-07T01:41:00.002+08:00

its far past midnight...been tossing around in my bed for the past 2 hours...and i still can't get to sleep...ARRGGHH!!!! i just hate this feeling!!! my whole body and mind is so tired...but i can't get to sleep...its one of those nights again...jus close my eyes...and a whole tsunami of thoughts jus slam into my head...driving me insane...not going to try anymore...decided to switch on my laptop and blog some shit...hopefully by the time i m done wif this blog...i can get some good rest...

few weeks back Mummy mentioned to me tat its been some years now tat she's gone on a holiday wif us...she's hoping to do so...but we were all so busy wif our own stuff...not sure when we will realise this dream of hers...come to think of it...our last trip was so far so far back...when i was still in poly...perhaps??? not sure really...cos its too far back...Daddy was too busy wif work thn...only the 3 of us accompanied Mummy and Grandma to Australia and NewZealand for bout 2 weeks i think...can't really recall...

after poly...got myself enlisted into NS...got my 1st job in PwC before my ORD date...worked my ass off for 7 years...joined Nordea for a year now...with no breaks in between...have been doin alot of travel for the past few years...mostly for fishing...abit of business travel...some leisure trips wif Princess...but never wif my family...now tat Jaina is married...and she's always so ever busy wif her work in E&Y...hardly getting proper rest oredi...let alone travel...Tereave jus got himself this new job...only interested to make trips to places he can get his car parts...dun think it will ever interest him to travel with the family...wif marriage plans going on this year...and tight financial budget...its virtually impossible for me to take Mummy & Daddy on a holiday...

so damn fustrating!!! they r not getting young anymore...Daddy's 58 and Mummy 55...really not sure if they will still b in the pink of health to travel in the next few years...of cos i pray they will..but when Mummy told me her heart was in pain on Sat...it really blew me off...i am so afraid!! i dun wanna lose Mummy!!! call me Mummy's boy for all i care...but i love Mummy alot alot...and i wan to do something for her...at least to travel as a family...Daddy's back has been giving him problems time and again...cant remember the countless times seeing him in agony...and he's been complaining so much bout his leg recently...havin diffculties to walk...i m so damn worried bout him!!

Daddy and Mummy mean the whole world to me!!! i wouldn b where i m today without them...i love them both very much!! i have been praying very very hard..GOD...please bless them both with good health...please!!! i will do my best...whatever way i can...to make their wish come true...i will arrange for us to travel as a family again...i promise to be good...i promise to learn to save $$...i promise i will never be rude to them again...please bless them!

some ppl may think tat i m crazy to be thinkin of such stuff in the middle of the night...but hey...i would rather b crazy now and realise it now...thn regret it when they are no longer around...

Childhood Fears??

2008-06-26T09:36:00.003+08:00

as usual...wa tuning in to my fav station, Class 95.0 morning express on my way to work this morning...Glenn Ong and FD did their usual stuff...arguing over issues...funny guys...never seem to agree wif their viewpoints...so anyway..."are parents forcing their kids to learn music" was the topic of discussion...listeners were asked to text their response in...and surprisingly all messages seemed to suggest they all agreed tat parents are forcing their kids to learn some musical instruments...

Glenn's viewpoint: parents should force their kids to learn (kids naturally only wan to play...they prob dun knoe wats good for them until they r old enuf to realise it themselves..by then...they could be in their 30s...)

FD's viewpoint: parents should not force their kids to learn (forcing kids to do wat they dun like will make them hate those things...they will only do it for the sake of doing...jus to please their parents without genuine appreciation...)

this topic kinda remind me of my childhood...i was sent to Yamaha Music School whn i was 7...started learnin organ...completed the courses...thn my parents got me a piano teacher to coach me...after completin Grade 1..they bought me a piano...thus i was "forced" into completing my course...wanted to drop out after Grade 3 but becos i felt obliged they bought me a piano...i dragged myself thru the rest of the grades until i reach the final grade...couldn take it anymore...and it was in the midst of preparing my "O"s...i finally made up my mind to stop...

other thn music lessons...i had art lessons, swimming classes, martial arts, tuitions for almost all subjects...could hardly breathe...back then...i was really envious of my frens...all the time in the world for them to play...obviously...becos none of them had such "busy schedules" as a kid...didnt hate my parents for doin tat...jus felt tat i didnt enjoy my childhood...hmmm...mayb tats the reason y i m always actin childish...haha :)

now tat i m 30...if u ask me...i will reply as follows:

"i wan to thank my parents for wat they have done for me. its becos they made me thru those classes:
Music - i m so musically inclined now tat i can impress gals wif both my voice and piano (very rusty now though...needs lots of practice)
Art - if u peeps have seen my new place & the many paintings i did...u will agree wif me tat the art lessons paid off
Swimming & Taekwando - i had a super relaxed time during NS...wat else is ther to learn when i m oredi a black-belter and have a life-saving cert? each time i see the rest of my squad mates punished wif knucle push-ups...i tell myself "heng ah"...

wif all the benefits tat i have reaped...i cant thank my parents enuf...suffered during childhood but enjoy the adulthood...its all worth it!!!"

so kids out ther...if u wanna start blamin ur parents for "forcing" u into takin up lessons...do tat when u r 30..when u realise tat all ur "sufferings" during childhood didnt pay off...otherwise...better start appreciatin wat they have done for u now!!!

OMG! my secondary school classmate, my "full of nonsence" kaki, my porn buddy, Weng Hong...did the usual thingy...goin thru his profile...not much write-up bout his life story though...was laughing away at his pics my colleagues thought i was crazy...not tat he look stupid or something...jus cannot contain the excitment..i mean we haven met for 14 years...and now he's married...puttin on abit of weight and all...its damn funny :)

Legend of Muay Thai

2008-06-17T16:30:00.004+08:00

The Contender Asia... ring a bell? familiar? Singapore organised The Contender Asia to gather the best Muay Thai fighters from around the world to compete...for a prize of cos...USD$150,000..WOW!!!! anyway...The Contender Asia is now aired on Channel 5 every Thursday at 11pm...catch it if u can...

i have been following the show for a couple of weeks now...kinda addicted...No! its not exaggerating cos i have been wanting to learn Muay Thai in my younger days...didnt get the opportunity cos mummy refused to let me take up this "violent" martial art...so i got stuck wif Taekwando instead :) watching this show triggered some eager nerves in me...the same feeling...the familiar urge of learning Muay Thai...haunt me once again!!!

for peeps who have no idea wat Muay Thai is? well...here's a little intro so u know wat i m blogging from here...who knows...u may be inspired to be the next Contender...hahahaha!!!!

Muay Thai originated as a martial-art style used as a defensive and offensive weapon of war. Muay Thai has been practised by the Thai people for hundreds of years. The tradition have been passed down through generations as with most ancient self defense. In the ring, before the fighters commence their fierce battle...there is a pre-fight ceremony called Wai Khru in which fighters will pay respect to their teachers, mentors or parents, and their opponents. Fighters will display their techniques while performing this ritual. For some fighters, this is another way of warm up and the perfect opportunity to study their opponents, while for others, Wai Khru represents deep spiritual beliefs to prepare their mind and body for the competition.

Every fighter wears a traditional headband, called Mongkol and an armband, called Prajiad on their biceps, believed to bring good luck to the competition. Trust me peeps...looks super cool on the fighters!!!

few days back managed to chance upon a blog site...belongs to Sean Wright...one of the competitors in The Contender Asia...very interesting write-ups and life story of his...sharing his experience of being a Muay Thai fighter...winning competitions and all...now i m communicatin wif him via email...in pursuit of my dreams to train in Thailand...hopefully to be a Muay Thai fighter one day...hopefully not too old by thn...hahaha....by the way...i bought a pair of Muay Thai boxing shorts during my last visit to Bangkok...looks super cool...think i m moving in the right direction....HAHAHAHAHA!!!! so peeps...do not b too stunned one day u see me in the ring!!!! WATCH OUT for my fists and kicks!!! :p

my new Idol...Sean Wright (facing us in the photo)...from Scotland....

U ARE THE ONE

2008-06-16T09:33:00.005+08:00

woohoo!!! Icaru 袁帅 (yuan shuai) was crowned "U Are The One" champion last night...for those of u who dun have a clue who the hell he is or wat the hell this competition is all bout...got some pics of him from his blog...and no...i m not a fan of his...U Are The One is a talent search for Channel U's Fresh Face of the Year! A person that personifies the station's qualities, the winner of U ARE THE ONE stands to win not only the title but $25,000 cash too! A total of 16 contestants will compete each week based on different themes and challenges. The score is based on 50% judges' score and 50% SMS votes. The top scorer for the week will be the thematic champion and this will give additional points to his or her total score in the competition. 8 finalists will proceed to the Grand Final where 1 male and 1 female champion will be crowned. The two of them will compete again and 1 overall champion will be crowned at the end of the grand final.

So anyway...congrats to 袁帅 ! Well deserving champion!!!!

simple boyish face..maybe a little talent...he can dance, sing, juggle bottles, display martial arts, speaks super well...wats so deserving u may ask?? my personal take on this...2 reasons y he emerge as champion...

Reason 1: SINCERITY AND HARDWORK

A website was set up for all the contestants...with their own space each to blog bout themselves...must say...he's the most hardworking one...he will share wif his fans everything bout himself...from his family...to his personal life...to his inner thoughts...irregardless how tired or how late it is after his tight schedules of rehearsals...distinctly separated himself from his other competitors...which explains his very HUGE fan base !!!!

Managed to catch some episodes of the competition. I have to admit tat its not an easy competition...and i thought he handled the judges really well in the Q&A session...remembered one instance when he was asked 你觉得你阳光吗? (it was delibrate becos he's always cool-looking without much smile and the theme was "sunshine boy")...his response??

我觉得我是冬天里的阳光只要有一点点就可以暖到心里面

POWER answer!!!! i was very impressed!! 100% certain i'm not the only one who was impressed! His hardwork and sincerity in his performances pulled alot of votes...explains why he was thematic champion for 3 themes...WOW!!!

Reason 2: POLITICAL

If you were the management of Channel U...do you think u will wan a Singaporean or Chinese National to emerge champion?? from a business angle tat is...with a Singaporean as Channel U's Fresh Face u will probably pull in 3 million viewers...with a Chinese National...OMG!!!! imagine the amount of viewers...

wat better way to enter China market :)

watever the reason maybe...its jus my personal view...so once again...BIG congrats to 袁帅 !!!
Cheers :p

TATTOO addiction

2008-05-29T10:43:00.005+08:00

mummy woke me up dis morning...cos daddy still lazing in bed...and we were runnin late for work...the only thing i heard mummy saying "my god! ur tattoo is done so low ur sleeves cannot even cover!!"...kinda reminded me i haven informed u peeps of my new tat...

yup yup...me did another tattoo couple of weeks ago...but becos its such a BIG project...it required about 5 to 6 sessions (each session bout 3 hrs) stretched over 2 to 3 months to complete...wonderin wat the hell i did...well...i decided to tattoo my arm (half sleeve - meaning from above my elbow till my shoulder) plus abit of my chest...

Tattoo design : 2 Japanese Koi fishes and 2 Lotus Flowers with maple leaves, waves, blah blah

alot of frens & colleagues asked me if its painful...of cos it painful!!! poking needles into the skin...jus wat r u thinkin?? i mean...helloo....i m human...dun have elephant skin ok...but the pain is definately bearable...no pain no gain...if u wan to look good...thn u jus have to endure!! besides..i have quite a high threshold for pain!! hahaha...

my other 2 tattoos (tribal scorpion on my stomach...tribal panther at my right shoulder blade) were done in Star Tattoo (Bugis)...this new one is done by a super attitude tattoo artist, Derrick...he's doing freelance...has a shop cum home in Beach Road...very cool guy...very talented...does free hand tattoos (no stencils...all designs are thought of and drawn by him directly onto ur skin...there won't b another person wif the same tattoo)...designs and colour r very much decided by him...i mean he's the expert right?? nothing to worry bout cos he guarantees "A" grade tattoos for all his customers...jus leave ur skin to him :)

only problem wif Derrick is : ATTITUDE !!! not many ppl can stand his weird attitude...at least i know danny boy cannot tahan him...and my hairstylist, Andy oso had some unhappy moments wif him...haha...this is super funny!!! cos Andy oso has huge attitude prob...2 attitude prob freaks fighting wif each other...damn funny lah!!! another problem which u may face wif Derrick is : BAD TIME MANAGEMENT !!! cos he's never keepin to appoint time...waited once for him for over 2 hrs man...cos he was havin lunch..dun ask me wat he ate...other thn these 2 problems...Derrick is a super nice person...and i have to admit...i m damn impressed wif his works...

time 2 share wif u peeps some pics of my new tattoo...

so folks...Derrick cool rite?? piang his whole body covered wif tattoos man... super impressive sia!!!

after the 1st session...only outline.....took bout 4 hrs to complete...

after 2nd session...did some black/grey shading...Derrick wanted to test the shading effect on my skin...so only a small portion was done...took bout 2 hrs....

after 3rd session....he decided to add some colour...another 2 hrs job....

so peeps...this is basically the 50% complete tattoo...still have prob 3 sessions to go b4 completion...meanwhile...i really cant wait to see the completed project...hmmm...maybe in a mth's time...hahaha !!!!
