That Bugger Tried to Knock me Down

Not Once, Not Twice but Three Times !

Just came back and this little bugger came charging at me with his bike in the living room ... again at the corridor and finally at the kitchen. Did it with an evil grin in his face (this guy is a monster i tell U)

then my mom told me that he did it becos he love me ... WOW !

Haunted by Sweet dreams

In A Bittersweet Life, My Favourite Korean Film had this dialogue at the end where it spokes about this little monk crying after waking from a sweet dream.

when asked, why was he crying if he had a sweet dream and not a nightmare ... the little monk replied that because he know it won't come true ...

Lately i been having the same dream over and over again... maybe i been thinking too much but i know it will not be true ... the dream won't come true in real life

i didnt wake up crying but it did leave a bittersweet taste in my heart ... maybe my subconscious mind is still unwilling to let go and still have wishful thinking ... something that my conscious mind wish it would stop doing

Yikes Stretch Mark

I been expecting them but it’s still came as a surprise. When I bath today, what I thought was my fatty bend marks (u know when u layer of fats bend over each other; they form a sort of mark?) turned out to be stretch marks upon closer examination.

Darn! It’s a bit too soon cos I haven’t even lost any significant weight yet tho my clothes are looser nowadays and I could fit into clothes that I bought a long time ago but couldn’t fit into … my younger brother thought it was a new shirt but it was more like 1 or 2 years ago : )
Still those stretch marks are a horrible sight … it’s a good sign that my body is reacting but I must find a way to remove them before I become a freak with slashes of stretch marks all over my body!

Exercise, the best euphoria substitute

All the panting, groaning and pain, one thing I never expect jogging and working out to give me ... a sort of euphoria.

Yeah there are otheractivitiess that supply endorphin but I think I am hooked to this form of activity. Even tho I have yet to see any striking results, the feeling at the end of every exercise give me a very siok feeling ... small achievement that make me proud : )

endorphin :
Besides behaving as a pain reducer, endorphins are also thought to be connected to euphoric feelings, appetite modulation, and the release of sex hormones. Prolonged, continuous exercise contributes to an increased production of endorphins and, in some people, the subsequent "runner's high."

Winter Wonderland

My friend will be flying off this Sunday to meet his gf in a country that blessed with the cold winter weather. A couple of us were teasing him about how he could snuggle up with her during the cold weather to warm each other up.

Recounting my past experience to them on how my room aircon used to be blasting on it's full capacity to create a small Winter Wonderland of it's own in the small enclosed space ... a little haven for two to cuddle up in the freaking cold...

then I paused for a while and said ...

"now I sleep with only the fan on"

cos can save on electricity bill as my bolster & pillow don't generate that much heart

K歌之王 / K Song King

My Favourite Eason Chan Song! But I havent gotten the chance to sing it in Karaokie yet !

Never expect that I will fall in love ...

with a Taiwan TV SEriES !!!

oh my gosh ... I used to hate Taiwan tv series, specially the teenagers ones with a passion ... But being bored n nothing much to do .. I left the TV running on Channel 56 and there this theme song that I liked (which turn out to be 惡作劇, the mtv below)

惡作劇


I really dig that chorus ...
"I think I will start to miss you, even tho we just met,
I suspect that this chance meeting is a prankster's trick
I think I already slowly fell for you,
becos I got the love and courage
to enter your nasty prank"

I even got the song on my HP now ... been listenning to it a few times before I dift to dreamland ... it's also my special ringtone now : )

and then the first thing that caught my attention was this guy ..

strangely his aloof mannerism is attracting me big time ... dig his korean standard hairdo and that body of his ... I think I will turn gay for him if he ask me to !! drool siah ... got some more pics of him n that "cute" co star that other guys most likely will be drooling for (but not me .. not even slightly attracted to her at all)

See Got 2 Babes beside him n he look so frustrated ... my tpe of man

yup that Joe Cheng as Jiang Zhi Shu .. u can catch him and that other girl 's It Started with a Kiss ( 惡作劇之吻 )on Starhub Channel 56 Every Sunday 7pm to 9pm!

My Eating Handicap

I never like people to discuss or point out what I eat and what I don’t eat. The reason being that I don’t eat a number of things that are favourites among Singaporean and I feel so odd one out because I don’t eat them.

Things such as durian and spicy stuff are things that I won’t be able to consume.

It was until I met up with my secondary school friend and she mention that although we were never hang out in the same group or had much to said to each other before … she always remember that I am a beef fanatic and the foods stuff that I stayed clear away. It’s funny because she couldn’t remember other friends’ preferences and they are closer to her than I ever was in secondary. The best part was that my school doesn’t even serve western food in the canteen!

Rather amused by it, I asked if she had a crush on me during secondary (which of cos she quickly denied that) and for the first time, I am glad that people actually discuss about my eating disorder … it’s something that make me stand out

Open Door and I found

5 Dollars on the floor !!

Was going to Jason's place for a meal and when I alight from his car, the first thing i noticed was green note on the floor ... hey hey ! its a Five Buck note : )

Goldfish Syndrome

Recently a Malaysian fren asked me on Msn to check out the price of a certain HP in Singapore, being the lazy me .. i asked her to sms me the brand n phone category number.

She asked why can't I write the number down on a piece of paper. I told her that I got Goldfish Syndrome and won't be able to remember to bring the paper along so leaving the number on my hp is a safer bet

She didn’t buy it and questioned me if I am really so forgetfully

Playing along ... I told her: "yeah, that why I am so fat nowadays .. I keep forgetting that I ate already and I keep eating n eating"

: )

oh then I realized something else ! Since I am one with Goldfish Syndrome, I would most likely forget about looking for the phone even if she did sms me : ) hehehe

Eason Chen "Sorry Thanks" MTV

CPT Peng just went for the Eason Chen concert and was so nice to post some video clips of the concert for the poor me who couldnt attend the concert becos

1. Its was on my fren 21st birthday

2. I couldn't afford the concert tix

while looking at the concert clips, i detour to find some other new mtv / songs by Eason and found this ... one of my latest favourite song from Eason Chen


I love you ... so very much
Sorry Thanks ... your face remained in my mind
I hate you ... so very much
Sorry Thanks ... Lonelyness remained on my back

Even Ben Stiller Gets no Respect

Happened to catch the Golden Globes and Ben Stiller was presenting one of the nominated best film in the musical and comedy section, Borat... I was surprise to see people walking around and talking at the same time Ben Stiller was on stage

No respect ! after my recent experience speaking on stage ... it just made me more aware of that hey it would be nice to keep quiet for when someone speaking on stage ... tsk tsk tsk

Do U know that ...

U cant be Jie Mei-s for more than 3 times ??? or will be cursed ??? ie kanna left on the shelve ???

wow ! i didnt know that !! hmmm not sure if that the case for Xiong Di but then to play safe, I am going to restrict the number of times that I am going to be Xiong Di to 3 times

1 gone already and I already got another booked in April ... so those who want me to be his Xiong Di, better book early ... first come first serve .. after the third time, I am going to retire from the Xiong Di scene for good (Gold Basin Wash Hand)

dont want to end up as a lonely old maid man

but what for ?

Over at Yahoo! , there another article about breaking up: Surviving The Break-Up Blues

thought it was pretty good write up over there ... with some very useful tips in getting thru the break up blues .. (except Adopt a Pet which i disagree !)

but it was the last 2 paragraphs that asked and answer the question that I been thinking alot nowadays

what the point of having a relationship ? cos the chance of it ending is so high nowadays ... a lot also have to be my fault n my character ... maybe being in a relationship is just not for me ?

Taken From Surviving The Break-Up Blues

What’s the point, right? I myself often wonder that same thing. I mean, what’s the use of going to the trouble of finding someone who’ll probably end up breaking my heart one way or another? Why wait for something that might never come?

The answer is “love”. Love truly does conquer all.

Imagine this: Somewhere in the world there is this amazing person walking around who is completely unaware that you exist and that you both are destined to be together. That person is attractive, smart, fun loving, and has an exquisite sense of humanity. Once you meet that person, you will feel as if you’ve been waiting all your life to meet them.

but then ... like what the last paragraph pointed out ... u never know ... maybe he or she is just round the corner ... (yes i am considering turning gay) ... i just hope i will get to meet that special someone eventually

VP& LP’s Wedding Day: Part 3 “The Unavoidable Drinking Session”

There are a few friends that I am considering of striking off from my wedding guests list ... I already had a friend who got admitted to hospital during his wedding night becos of this group of friends

but then .. without them .. it just didn’t seem that fun

When I say fun .. I meant rioting fun

There no way of getting away from drinking with them … ironically this bunch was supposed to help the couple block drinking challenges from the guests but there weren’t any serious challenges so Groom stayed relatively alcohol free the whole night.

They waited n waited … waited for all the guests to leave … waited for the Groom to settle the bill with the restaurant manager and they waited … there just not denying them from hardcore drinking with the Groom

I pity the Groom … even the bride who wanted to go and help out the Groom left shaking her head … uttering that this is unavoidable one

So we drunk n drunk … I only had a cup of red wine n that was enough to knock me out … I sat there stone n could only witness the bargaining between the Groom and the gang of alcohol terrorist (thinking back, I think it was a good choice to lay low cos I won’t get hit by the flying alcohol around me)

After finally making the Groom finish the whole bottle of hard liquor, this rowdy bunch still wanna have more fun at their hotel room … making so much noise that I was expecting the other guests to come out of their room to shut us up (but no one did or maybe the hotel was empty ?)

When they finally let the Groom retired back to his room … it was puke fest time! The first one let go at the corridor. I quickly ask them to leave the hotel before anyone caught that… and then there was more puking at Orchard Road … each of the guilty terrorists took turn in puking and it was such a funny sight.

I could still remember my last puking experience (last Chinese New Year at the first puker’s place) and it’s a damn horrible feeling. But getting it out will only make one feel so much better.

The first puker still made a date with the rest to do another drinking session at his place during this coming CNY. The gang leader who is also the next Groom to be also seems to be anticipating the drinking session during his weddings … all this while they are puking their guts out …

Sigh .. I could only shake my head at them … it’s so hurtful to their health but yet they want more ! but then … seeing how the next Groom tekan this one … I think I will also challenge him with what I can on his wedding day … hahaha die die also must drink!

VP& LP’s Wedding Day: Part 2 "My Traumatic Experience as a Wedding MC"

Okie it's not that traumatic as the title sound but it's definitely an experience that i won't forget for a long time ... even fell a bit in love but then it's not meant to be : )

Was supposed to meet at 5.30pm to practice but overslept a bit ... was a bit unwilling to go so early becos from the experience this morning ... nothing starts on time n a lot of time wasted on waiting ... maichiam like SAF, rush to wait n wait to rush

But i didnt play punk ... reached 10 mins after the scheduled meet up time only to find out that I was the second guy to reach ... the rest are either still on their way or busy making up

did a bit of run thru with the floor manager n had to rewrite the script a bit but my co host was still not around so gotto wait for her to turn up before we can do a mic check

waited n waited

it was 7.15pm , 15 mins before the guests are allowed into the ballroom and still no sight of my co host

and then she turned up ... looking very stunning in her white dress and my frustration subsides . just before i can usher her into the ballroom, she introduce me to her soon to be hubby

tsk tsk tsk (no crazy comments that I still got a month to break people's marriage ah)

We did a run thru with the floor manager again and was ready for our first mic practice

and hey, i didnt sound as bad I thought it would be : ) I actually sound quite ok! not as whiney as I was expecting ... my speech didnt went that smooth as I was reading from the card and some of the words were on the other line, resulting in a pause that shouldnt be there.

my co host was really good ... she done mc-ing on events before but it's her first wedding and she handled it very well, every line came out smoothly and gracefully

after our first n only practice ... we went on to praise each other for doing very well ... yeah her hubby also set our mind at ease by saying that it was good ...

but still .. I wasn’t satisfied ... so i rewrote my speech card into lines where each line finish by it's own so I didn’t have to do unnecessary pauses

and that when my secondary history teacher turned up ... i quickly refered some words to her and she pointed out that i got it wrong .. very funny wrong

solemnization came out as sodom(y)-isation

but she gave a very good advice … no one actually listen to the MC during wedding dinner. And it was so very true … people don’t really listen and are just going thru the wedding dinner routine

the two major boo boo I made was the word “solemnization” … pronounced it as sol before pausing n reverting to saw … my secondary teacher n my number 1 fan caught that … and then there the Champagne Fountain Ceremony which I stumble and got the word Champagne wrong … don’t know why leh … after I got back to the table, I had no problem in getting that word right

Overall I thought I did quite well (well enough for the next Groom to “hire” me back as MC)… enjoy the camaraderie with the co host very much. Although I only knew her that day, getting the support from her to go thru an event like this was quite extraordinary … it like I can face the whole world and fret not … if she not married, I might consider asking her out for a date … terrifying but very satisfying

VP& LP’s Wedding Day: Part 1 “Morning Sabo”

6.30am : The Longest Day Begun

Meeting up at the Groom (Victor)’s place for the last minute touch up and some items check … I was there on time with the Xiong Di but the Groom wasnt there ... so we start bitching abt whether is there a need to meet so early when we only need to reach the bride place at 7.30pm (so early sure no traffic, plus it's Sunday )

lucky the Groom turn up in his blazing suit n 2 hotdog buns and all is forgiven : )

7.30am to 8am : Sabo Time

Tried to delay going for the Sabo time but parking was rather easy (cos we anyhow park ... was told we got wedding flowers attached on our car n that our mian si qing pai) so bo bian had to follow the Groom up to face the tradtional Sado from the Jie Meis

the first round was the standard Sour Sweet Bitter & Spicy treatment ...

Sour = Sucking on a few slices of Lemon
Sweet = one cup of melted Chocolate
Bitter = some tastless crackers which wasn't quite bitter
Spicy = Wasabi on Mashmellow .. (heng ah , not chilli or curry)

during the first round ... I noticed that the Jie Meis weren't that solid in their tekkaning (weak in their torturing).

why ?

1. They only ask for hong bao but never made any demands on how much they want from the Groom.

2. They close the main door too often and didnt supervise us in finishing our dishes ... giving us a lot of chance in throwing them away while they are not looking.

Then it's round two; the Groom and the Xiong Di had to finish one tub of chocolate IceCream within the span of 1 song ... sound fun and easy ? er not when it's early in the morning n u just had Wasabi

of cos no matter how we tried , we couldnt finish it ... was expecting a sabo for the Groom but it didnt happened and we were given the chance to finish that tub with another song ... and that wasnt a problem cos we were already half way done liao

Lastly round three .. which lucky the Xiong Dis didnt have to do ... Groom singing a song to the Bride ... hmmm Victor came prepared and his song ... that Adam Sandler's remote control song from The Wedding Singer movie

a bit out of tune but then i thought it was quite touching : )

After that, it's the standard stuff, ferrying the Jie Meis from one tea ceremony to another ... I don't know how I made it thru but by the time I ferry the Jie Meis to the hotel, I cant wait to go back home to kong out for 2 hours

yes only 2 hours of sleep n then it's prep time for the speech.

To be Continued

Mock Bachelor Night

Since the tmr Groom didnt want / have the time to "party" before his wedding, a Xiong Di* and I went out with a couple of our friends to chat ...

so why do i consider it as a Mock Bachelor Night ??? cos we chat until it's freakin late (or should i say early) and by the time we are done, it's only 2 hours before the scheduled Xiong Di meet up ...

u know those shows where the groom had a hard time waking up after the party and almost late to pick up the bride ... and the groom look stone for the wedding day .. that what i experienced ... well not the waking part but the very tired bit was very true

Chinese Wedding Day event is a very tiring event ... if there any valuable lesson i learnt is that proper well rest before that day is very very important ... won't repeat this mistake again!

more to come

* Brothers to assist the Groom ... taking all the tekan sessions and personal slave to the Groom

Best Prez of 06: Pride of Bagdad

While I appreciate all the birthday gifts I received this year, Loki's Pride of Baghdad took home the honor as the Best Gift of the year for me. One thing I noticed that over the years, Loki always managed to give me gifts that impressed me or stayed display visibly in my room. Yes he got one hack of choosing gifts for people!

Pride of Baghdad recounts true-life accounts of what happened blend with some imagining of what a group of lions might have encounter after the US Army blasted the zoo gate open. Although it’s written about the exploits of the pack of lions, lots of parallel issues could be drawn from the invasion of US Army. It’s like seeing through the eyes of the innocent that suffers the un-necessities of war, which make one wonder how can it be justifiable to start any war?

It’s quite short and you would be able to finish it in less than an hour but it will leave a long lasting aftertaste in your memory. This is one book that I hoped would get made into a movie.

It's National Break Up Day !

what a celebration !! reading some folks' experiences made me glad that i didnt had it that bad ... there even Top 10 Breakup Songs

Goodbye my Lover by Jame Blunt & Lost Cause by Beck are in my list of songs to listen to during break up. I would also recommend

• Vertical Horizon's Best I ever Had (for guys who still think the world of their ex gf)
• The Streets' Dry your Eyes (friendly advice for ppl who cant let go of their ex gf)

Movie wise ... i recommend

• Happy Together / Chun Guang Zha Xie (making a goal to leave could be good)
• Vanilla Sky (for those involved in tri angle love relationship)
• C'est la vie, mon chéri / Xin Bu Liao Qing (sometime some are just not meant to be)
• The Break-Up (one of the best film about breaking up)

What would you add in ??

Pictures from a long time ago

While sending me pix to remind me that I was not so cumbersome before, CPT PENG (her nickname) also forwarded me my uni days pix ... ones that I was still a photowhore n took pix of my favourite jacket in my student village room ...

I didnt realized i got In The Mood for Love Poster until this seeing this pic again
havent seen them for quite a while already and quite surprise that my fren Cpt Peng got them ... there were initially thoughts that she might got something for me or is my personal stalker but then those thoughts were dismissed quickly
See! I made my own bed !

Looking thru the pix, I suddenly noticed that there were pix of my ex on my wall ... thinking back ... it was long before we got together and it's my wall of wishlist where I placed pictures of all the girls that were in my wishlist (of mostly impossible to attain)

then on the other side ... it's my wall of screwed list , contains pictures of girls that been mounted

onto a frame n screwed onto the wall ... now what were u thinking of ...

Cumbersome Part 2 Edited

Surprise surprise ! wasnt expecting my short little post gathered so "many" replies !

yeah first of all, it's Stefan with the right answer !

cumbersome - difficult to handle because of weight or bulk
or in other words, clumsy

then my another friend who only want to be known as Cpt Peng (a nickname I gave my fren! Not an actual army personal! ) consoled me with this picture

I am the one wearing Orange! Not the one with ponytail!

reminding me that I was once not so Cumbersome ! and LOOK what long NECK I got there !!! I am glad that I send Christmas Card to Cpt Peng every year !

Cumbersome

I been tagged as Cumbersome ... not troublesome as I was expecting but cumbersome. It's a new word in my limited range of vocabulary .... sound quite nice ... wonder what it meant

Operating in Safe (Mode)

It's been a few days since my PC kong out again. This time there some ACPI problem with my computer's BIOS and some blue screen that prevent my Window 2000 from operating ... after restarting it for a few times ... i finally managed to make my computer work ... only in Safe Mode

Dont know how many ppl actually used that PC for a long time in Safe Mode but that what going to happen to me until 14th Jan 07 (when HP will confirm with me when I can go down to collect my new pc from them. I just hope it's not going to be one or two months later)

Operating in Safe Mode Sux big time... cant see any porn pictures in their normal pixels at all ! there some pictures that my fren took during a recent 21st birthday celebration, which i am dying to see ... sigh

Opening Some websites will automatically result in Error, which closes all the Internet windows that I had opened

Can't view any trailers or video that my fren wanted to send me too ... I feel like I am in the 286 age when there nothing I could do except type and read words only ...

but at least I gotten 4 "reports" done during the downtime! my "boss" will be pleased

Pictures from Shaiful's 21st Birthday

Picture time! even tho I cant see them in the right pixel .. the following pix had been stolen from Loki's album : )
The best picture of the night ! heheh some said it's scary but i thought it's rather cool ...check out the expression of John @ the background .. there this disgust look that looked pretty cool
and of cos the group photo with the Birthday Boy : )

now still got a few photos that I am thinking of stealing ... I heard got one of me seating n eating by myself .... now i really want to get my hands on that pix

9 days and counting

yup ... it's been 9 days since I had any burgers! after watching Fast Food Nation, I made a promise to myself to stay away from burgers as long as I can. I still get a drink or two from fast food joint but burger is a big no no.

Part of the reason was Fast Food Nation but it was also my bit to lose some weight.

it was until i was having drinks with my fren @ Carl Jr and he got a pack of beef chilli fries which my itchy fingers cant help helping themselves ... was proudly proclaiming that I didnt have burgers for 9 days liao ...

he reminded me that the beef on the fries came from the same source as most fast food joint's burgers ...

damn ... gotto restart the timer again

Gone to catch lightning

Guess this is one hobby that very few people actually share ... Lightning Catching

But of cos .. not with one's bare hand ... : ) with camera

It's raining and there's a couple of lightning strikes .. so i waited n waited ... i realized my reaction was a bit slower than the lightning strikes but lucky ... i waited somemore n there this lightning strikes that went on for a couple of times n I managed to snap the last one : )


Happy : )

selfnote : the skies are strangely orange after the dark rain ...

Charlotte's Web VS The Bible

Was talking to a friend about recent movies and he went on to spoil Charlotte's Web ending for me again ...

Since it's quite a popular book (specially with kids and teenagers), his reasoning was that "I thought everyone would have read it what" (yeah i missed during my childhood ... don't know why)

My Rebuttal was "I don't think everyone read the bible and it's the most read book in the world"
good analogy leh : )

Wedding Montage Songs PicK

was asked by my fren who getting married this 14 Jan to give some suggestion on the songs to use for his wedding video montage ...

the first thing came into my mind was Star Wars Imperial March

then I suggest to him The Queen's "I want to break free"

or the end theme of Braveheart where Mel Gibson shouted "Freedommmm"

now .. thinking about it .. I am thinking of adding U2's "I still haven't found what I am Looking For"

: ) will be very surprise if that night I hear the songs that I suggested. Any more songs suggestion to make ?? U know those confirm wont make it into the montage one
