True democracy, is it suitable for us?

2007-11-28T21:32:00.000+08:00

While revising for my political science paper tomorrow, I chance upon the definition for true democracy and it got me thinking and comparing with our country.

True fair, just and transparent electoral political process
Government that governs with rational reasons and without corruption
Rule of law that promotes justice and equality
Protection and nurturing of civil rights
Free and outspoken media
Adequate and relevant participation and representation of the people in the political system

It got me thinking why Singapore, a first world nation, has what believers of true democracy say, a third world democracy.

Is our electoral political process fair, just and transparent? The constant changing of electoral boundaries right before election has cause much trouble for the oppositions and it is seen as a attempt to split up opposition votes, as in the first past the post system, there is a flaw in which you don't have to win by a big margin, you have to win strategically. This was shown in PAP total support vote of 66.6%, a drop of 8.69% from the last GE and they will win 82 out of 84 seats in parliament.
For this I must credit the PAP government for producing out of the least corrupted nation in the world. This is much attributed to the creation of CPIB and Singapore's stance against corruption.
Do we have a unbiased judicial system? Senior District Judge Michael Khoo, one of the most able judge was transferred to the Attoney General Chamber following his verdict to acquit JB Jeyaretnam. The case was retrial and JBJ was found guity. http://www.singapore-window.org/1028judi.htm
The restriction on civil societies has made it near impossible for people to voice out their political opinion, to exercise the civil rights of a citizen.
Our media is most certainly not free as it fail to exercise fairness in reporting as fail to see news reports on the overwhelming attendence at opposition rallies and lack of attendanace at PAP rallies. Our media is definitely acting on restriction, not being able to report on OB matters.
Do we have enough representation from our people, the elitist system practice by PAP resulted in the power of the nation in the hands of the elite fews. Is this what the people want?

Enough said on how Singapore defer from the definition of true democracy. But I need to make it clear that whether true democracy is the right solution to Singapore is a different question. We definitely know what the present system has bring to us. Just take a good look around us at the things happening to our neighbours. Malaysia is in deep trouble trying to deal with the "riots" by ethnic Indians when they tried to use democracy as an excuse to voice their greviances against being not treated as equal in Malaysia. Look at how the monks of Myammar are being treated by the Junta government. You can imagine without PAP in trying to put to us the idea that multiracialism, multiculturalism, multireligiousity and multiethnicity, we will be something like our neighbour. Only difference is that will destroy Singapore and what we worked hard for the 40 over years.

Is it suitable for us? I don't think so. Sacrificing civil rights and freedom in exchange for stability and success is definitely a worthwhile exchange for me.

Audio House "Sale"

2007-11-24T12:39:00.000+08:00

http://www.audiohouse.com.sg/

60% rebate on all brands!!

My ASS..

This was written in small print..

Simply guess the first number of the 1st prize for 4D draw (Wednesday) and stand to win 60% refund via Audio House Vouchers..

That means you got 10% chance of getting the 60% rebate..

And you will get your 60% rebate not through cash but through Audio House Voucher..

Which means your 60% rebate is not a rebate as you will still spend at least that initial amount at Audio House and the multiplier effect continues..

You will end up keep purchasing products from Audio House till the rebate is less that your cost of travelling, which makes it not economical to travel to Audio House to buy the product..

Thats when you look back and get shock at the amount of things you purchased there..

But this is still a good deal, ONLY if things at Audio House is the cheapest as they advertise in the newspaper or else money back.. Do they mean they refund you the money and let you keep the product? Or they just refund you the difference, so you get the cheaper deal?

A question to ponder..

Share The Love of FOOD

Timeless Facade

Stumble upon this blog that has great review of food in Singapore..

I AM HUNGRY~

If I Die, The Culprit Is Lerk Thai @ NUS

2007-11-21T12:40:00.000+08:00

Look at what i found in my vegetable.

A piece of plastic that seems to come from the packaging for the vegetable.

A piece that found its way to the serving plate of customers,

Undergoing through the long journey of fire.

To reach me.. Well.. Almost..

The GOOD: Studio WU

2007-11-18T13:19:00.000+08:00

Learn from Studio WU instead..

Look at how PROFESSIONAL they are, in term of dancing and managing events..

http://www.studiowu.com/

The BAD: Hip Hop Crew Dance Studio

2007-11-18T13:11:00.000+08:00

http://www.hiphopcrew.com.sg/

They sure can teach people how to dance and have lots of talented people dancing there..

But they sure need people to teach them how to MANAGE event..

Anti-Smoking Dance Competition

2007-11-17T13:39:00.000+08:00

Well..

What can I say..

So SMART of the event company to notify dancers to come at 2pm, not telling them that their category starts at 4pm instead of 2pm, and postponing it to 6pm.

Is this kind of standard acceptable from the management and event company (or dance company)?

Instructions are not set out properly, this is what happen when you let an event company with absolute no sense of knowledge, not attentive to details so as to inform individual category of dancers to come at the right time so not to waste their time. It is not that difficult to give more specific instructions to the dancers, it's a form of respect to the artistes that come for the competition.

For a dance competition that can attracts so many talented dancers, this is an obvious a disgrace for the event company to throw away any sort of goodness in the competition.

It seems that someone need to teach the company how to MANAGE an event. It doesnt mean that you are capable to manage a dance competition if you know how to dance. Leave management to the experts, not IMCOMPETENT FOOLS that cannot differentiate 2pm to 6pm.

GOOD JOB to the GOOD FOR NOTHING event company to WASTE people's time.

My Princess

2007-11-09T10:21:00.000+08:00

Without my white horse,

I found my princess,

And that's you darling.

Love you loads =)

2 become 1

Never put beer into the freezer in the attempt to cool your beer down to a drinkable temperature.

Beer are not designed to take such cold temperature.

Not only you will spoil the beer, you will also spoil the bottle holding it.

And thats how my beer bottle broke in the fridge and my two bottle become one.

Damn it!!

Sweet Surprise II

2007-10-14T02:14:00.000+08:00

Thanks darling for that wonderful surprise that hit me as i walk towards my car in the half asleep zombie mode.

A point to note would be not to replace the oven with a MICROWAVE as your brownie will end up like rock from MARS. As quoted by those who seen it. I must say it taste great, other than the hardness.

Good thing that we tried the brownie before it cooled down as it was so much softer and edible. =)

Happy 2 Months darling..

End of the Spear

2007-09-29T12:23:00.000+08:00

Watch this movie during Dawn's Cell Group. First time actually that i had attended a cell group and i must say although it may seem like a session where the group gather and connect with one another. There are learning values to the things that they do and everything there's a meaning behind it.

Interestingly, it has caught my attention and i won't mind going for another one=)

Thanks darling for bring me for such an eye opener=)

Though i had some difficulties as everything was in Mandarin, kinda of a first time for me too. Definitely need to brush up on my Mandarin=)

Ah Ma 68th Birthday

Thanks for coming darling=)

Love Actually

2007-09-24T02:39:00.000+08:00

My favourite scene from the movie.

If you have not watch this show, you will think it's sweet. But for someone that have watch this show more than a dozen times, it's sad=(

But just remember this, that love is actually all around us=)

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Your Guardian Angel

Need me to say more?

=)

DR

2007-09-19T02:04:00.001+08:00

It was great watching you dance, doing the thing that you love. Best part of the whole DR would be when the event end. When I am waiting ever so impatiently for your arrival, so I can present you with the flowers that you love =)

The prankster got pranked when our photo magically disappeared from my wallet and it reappeared in yours=)

Love that happy look on your face darling=)

9 - 9 - 2007, Monthsary

2007-09-19T01:36:00.000+08:00

Not a very good day to start off, as I nearly blew off a tyre from the screw and nearly got my hand chomp off by a dog (thank goodness a muzzle was on). But what was the most important is someone was with me all the way. My precious darling =)

Though it was quite late till we had dinner, it was still happy for both of us as we have each other for company.

Went to Big O for dinner and as usual that place didnt let us down.

Just take a look at the food and dessert. Especially dessert as they are so magical. There was so much chocolate that i suddenly knew the meaning of chocolate overdose.

Finger licking good dose of chocolate =) And look at my present for my darling, the chocolate spider.

Time is such a bad judge on how much one are into a relationship as it can be easily explained in ours. The passion and richness of emotion we have for each other is way beyond one should have in a month's relationship.

Love ya loads darling =)

Big O and License to Wed

2007-08-30T14:52:00.001+08:00

Everything so great today, other than the rain and the part that we went to look for an umbrella and by the time we bought one, the rain actually stopped.

The food was great and especially the dessert cakes. Aphrodisiac and Big O cheeze cake. Though the cheeze cake was small compared to aphrodisiac which was a heart shaped choco cake, i still think it taste better =)

License to wed is a great movie and touching in the sense and it tells us the likely problems a married couple or would be married couple will face and that it is not as simple as saying 'I Do' Love the small little things that was done during the movie and it is really sweet when Mandy Moore began to see things from the other side and learn the key to a wonderful marriage. Geeat movie with a great ending and especially love the part about writing the wedding vows on the sandy beach.

Fireworks Festival

2007-08-30T14:49:00.001+08:00

Firework Festival was great.. Thanks Wan Xin and BF for the tickets for we are able to watch the fireworks at such a great location..

It was like reliving a kid's life when we went through the bazaar and queue up for the balloons =) The ride on the slow slow choo choo train was wonderful and although it was a short ride, what makes it wonderful is the companionship =)

That's you darling =)

Red Moon

2007-08-30T14:42:00.000+08:00

Well, I wanted to take a picture of the moon and do some editing magic to it and make it red....

But....

It turn out looking like a blot of red blood and have to make do with this picture....

Bye Bye Kok Sheng

2007-08-18T13:01:00.000+08:00

Went to the airport to send Kok Sheng in the wee hours of the morning. Good thing that lily gave a call as I could have slept all the way to the morning.

We had fun and laughter before he went in but we could see that Ryan was trying to hold back didnt really know what to do. Ernest and Jianming had to sing those sad sad songs and she finally gave in and shed tears for Kok Sheng.

Today's only the first day and i wonder how will things be like without Kok Sheng for Ryan.

Stay strong gal as all your brothers will be here for ya =)

Meet Her Parents

2007-08-18T12:55:00.001+08:00

My own version..

Went over to her place after lecture last night and met her Dad and Mum formally. It went better than i had expected. Great folks and great to talk with. And heard a lot of stuff about Dawn from her mum =)

I think your mum found an ally as i will keep remind you of those things =)

The Japanese Exchange student was quite shy and we couldn't really communicate with the girl as she don't really understand English and we don't speak Japanese. We had to rely on our trusty fingers and the small Japanese-English Dictionary. Really hope that she can enjoy her stay in Singapore and experience the life of a Singaporean.

16th Aug 07 - 1 Week & Counting

2007-08-18T12:39:00.001+08:00

Had dinner @ white dog cafe and got a shock when i found a piece of metal scrub in the ice cream. Can't really stand such nonsense and can you imagine what will happen if someone actually consume it without seeing it? Can imagine the scene when blood starts to ooze out from the cuts.

This place, together with Phin's Steakhouse @ Tampines Mall will be in my NO NO list.

Bad service i can stand, bad hygiene i cant~

What a BIG Ice Cream Cone =)

It's one week and counting.. Many many more to come =)

Secret...

2007-08-18T12:34:00.001+08:00

Went to The Cathay to watch Secret... Great movie even if you are not Jay Chou fan as the storyline and how it went was quite beyond imagination. Shall not spoil it by narrating the whole story out and for those who had not watch it..

GO CATCH IT~~

1st Day of School

2007-08-18T12:16:00.001+08:00

First day of school, minus the part that i fell asleep during lecture, everything went well =)

Got to school in my dad's car =) cos my car went to the shop for minor touch up as my reverse sensors was not really sensing obstacles =(

The deck took a major facelift and i must say it is so much better than before. It looks more like a food centre rather than a school canteen. More options for all of us during meal time =)

Meeting My Parents

2007-08-18T11:00:00.000+08:00

Interesting day it turn out to be. While on the way to meet my parents for dinner @ Kallang turned out to be a race against time to get there in time. We had time to go visit the Mitsubishi Showroom outside Takashimaya. Nice set of wheels and great improvement from the previous Lancer.

What are the odds of meeting a marching band outside Istana? Of all days it had to be this day when we are heading for dinner. Luck was on our side as we arrive before my dad =)

Dinner turn out good and I must say dawn left a good impression behind for my parents.

Headed to Esplanade to relax and left when it started to rain.

What a day it turned out to be =)

A Moment To Remember

2007-08-13T20:41:00.000+08:00

Celebrating the birth of our nation, this year's celebration was called the best of all the previous celebration as said by PM Lee. Given the limited space that they have, they are able to give to us such as wide variety of program that range from land, air and sea. I should have brought an umbrella as i wont have to go under the rain of sea water. But it was a fun and interesting experience. Bit of the overkill on the camera till my cam ran out of battery. But it was all worth it =)

Arhh.. Love the fireworks displays as they are so pretty. Plus they meant a lot to US. =)

Definitely a moment to remember.. You sure got me there with that seal of love =0 Oh you are so right darling.. That definitely will know it when it is the time. I was glad that we got this moment captured on the camera. Hmmm.. Wonder what will you do to me if i didn't take this photo rite?

09-08-07, 2019hrs.. That's our moment =)

Donut Factory

2007-08-10T14:32:00.001+08:00

OH~~ How can i forget about this wonderful creation. DONUTS~~

The queue at Suntec is faster than the one at Raffles City and it took us around 30 - 45 minutes for us to get our donuts. I think i am going to be fat but who can resist the temptation of donuts calling out for you. COME EAT ME~~ COME EAT ME~~

Yum~~

Changing Appetites

2007-08-10T14:18:00.001+08:00

I had this double patties burger that was HUGE! Each patty weigh about 200gm and i had 400gm of meat on my dish. It taste great but i don't think i will order that unless i find back my craving for meat =) Dawn had this Mexican wrap thingy that i forgotten the name. I had something like that the last time i went with the gang and it is just so so nice. Everything there seems so nice and appetizingly. How i wish i could order one of each =)

They have an outstanding list of dessert and cakes that all look so nice la. Esp the gigantic mug of chocolate that look like Milo Ice (Up Up Up Up SIZE) Woah~ Superb la~ This place is definitely one of the top few recommended places by me =)

One thing about the mud pie here was that it doesnt seem to be melting even when we are left with 1/3 of it. It's so cold that the chocolate syrup that was suppose to be liquid, solidify on the mud pie. I still love the mud pie at coffee club express =) Yum Yum~~

Almost every picture is the mud pie and there's a reason for that. We were playing a game to see who is the one to topple the mud pie.

Last time i lost =(

This time i won =)

Not going to cancel out the forfeit. So i have to think of one for Dawn and she has to think of one for me. Good and bad la. Lets see what she has for me lor.

Istana Open House

2007-08-10T13:39:00.000+08:00

Suppose to go for a education trip to the museum. But as we went pass the Istana, realised that it was the istana open house and there's an arts exhibition going on in the Istana.

It's our first time to the Istana and before we went in, we had to go behind a long but fast moving queue and face the wrath of people holding their umbrella front and back of us. We were dressed to go to the museum and definitely not the long walk under the sun. Over-dressed =(

Thing To Bring:
Caps
Water Bottle
Shades
Maybe a portable Air-Con =)

We went to the postcard project by the Archi students. Such a meaningful piece as it is pieced together with individual post card by children all over Asean. On the post card were the details of the child who did that piece and together with it was their greetings and artwork. Quite remarkable art skills given that they are only young children.

As we walk up the trail towards the Istana and took pictures wherever we go. Came upon this cute kid that was lost and i went to report this to the police officer. Arh.. I feel like a civilian, even though i am a police officer as well. Reminded myself when i was still serving the police force where member of public came up to me for assistance. Dawn had the thought of bring the kid home with her =) That's kidnapping HOR~~

Look at the cute baby that Dawn carried =) She's so so cute and not afraid of strangers carrying her. I appeal more to babies as they seem to respond to me more than Dawn =)

Arh.. After a long and hot walk in the Istana, nothing can be more rewarding that a ice cream treat at Ben and Jerry's. YUM YUM~~

And lets not forget about the trip to the Museum =)

Looking Beyond The Definition Of Love

2007-08-05T00:32:00.000+08:00

Being in love is not the act of being together, the act of holding hands, the act of hugging, the act of kissing, the act of telling them how much you love her. All these act are what you do when you are in love and that doesn't define what love is. Being in love is all about the mutual exchange of feelings and affections. It is not about the things a couple do together.

There are many definitions, interpretations and meanings to love. Everyone has their own set of ideology towards how love should be and how they know they are in love. It's the same as cooking up a simple dish, where there are thousand and one way to do it.

I think it is about the slow realization that there is someone in your life that starts to get your attention. Someone that is worthy of you giving your care and concern to. Someone that you will think of when she is not around. The intensity of these feelings will grow with time and thats when you will know it's the start of something nice.

There are a lot of considerations before anyone gets together. Not only you got to look at the present, on whether there is some indication of love. You also got to look at the future, on whether you see a future together with her. Either of one these factors lacking and it is easy to see the outcome.

Barrage Of Movies

2007-07-31T03:14:00.000+08:00

Went for a number of movies these few days..

There are a lot of good movies out there nowadays that got good comments from me. Especially for those movies that got me thinking of how the story is developing. Love those plots that you cant predict till the very last moment..

If you're fan of horror movie, give Vacancy a miss and go watch ALONE =)

You Don't Move On, You Move Along

2007-07-31T03:01:00.000+08:00

Back to the emo me =)

Affairs of the heart is so difficult to understand.. And it gets tougher when you hear about other people problems.. It makes you wonder why is it so difficult for others to make the right and logical decisions as they will never understand from the person's perspectives.. There are also the personal things that are holding them making the decision.. It seems right if two persons like each other, they should get together.. And if one decide to get out of one, they should respect the decision and let it go willingly.. Well.. Things arent that simple, if not there wont be so many people in such problems..

There are some who face the problem of getting together as there seems to be so many considerations and also obstacles in between them..

There are some who face the problem of ending a relationship that just didnt want to end.. As there seems to be too many consideration and obstacles coming in between..

There are also some who face the problem of coping with someone who held a significant place in their heart and facing them, being friends again..

The simple question come back in, why cant they just make things simple and deal with it.. But the truth is very simple and that is affairs of heart aint that simple to deal with..

Just hope that those with such problems out there can deal with them in the most fitting way.. I got this quote from Elson, you don't move on, you move along. Good one bro =)

It sort of gotten me thinking that no matter how things started or ended, life still goes on and you just move along with it.. Don't harp over it too much as the world around you still moves along, with or without you.. =)

Time To Bid

2007-07-24T22:35:00.000+08:00

School starting soon and it's now time to ballot for my modules. If it is just 5 modules, everything just falls so nicely in place as i already know what i wan and most definitely can get it. But it's the 6th module that is difficult. Although had decided on what it is, it after i planned the schedule that i realized that i will end up having 2 days that will have lesson in the morning and night, with nothing in between. Hopefully can settle this b4 saturday.

Discovering Places

2007-07-22T11:29:00.000+08:00

Love going all over Singapore to explore places that aren't that mainstream. Though we are on this small island that can't be compared to big countries such as Australia and US, but we sure have places that are worth exploring and not many people know about it. It gives people the sense of exploration like what the first explorer did when they discover a new found land. Not necessary they must be places that aren't developed as there are also forgotten places that just seem so unattractive to us and also seems to fade into the busy urban environment. There are new places that are coming up that are also neglected by the public as they aren't the usual places that we would normally go to. The key is to find back such places and visit them before they are gone. One such place is the Marina Park that is now closed. It is sort of like a secret garden that has been long forgotten after the gate had been locked and keys thrown away. Everything inside seem untouched by time as the vegetation is left to grow unattended.

Start and End As Friends

2007-07-20T13:12:00.000+08:00

I would like to thank you for the wonderful memories during the 3 years that we were together. I most certainly wont regret having you as my girlfriend, although we are apart now, we can still be friends. Thanks for all the sweet things you did for me, thanks for all the surprises you gave me, thanks for tolerating me for all these times, thanks for everything=)

I know you cant adjust and face me for now but i hope one day we can be friends.

Take care and all the best to you.

Quack Quack

2007-07-17T14:29:00.000+08:00

Met up with Quack2 for breakfast at 11am, but i woke up late as i had slept at 8am la~ Lovely Mahjong Game~

Told him the story from my point of view and decision. Told him how i feel towards the whole situation and how i want things to end. As friends, not enemies. It's so difficult to tell her what i feel as she just cry every time i wan to bring up the topic. It's just sad that she cant face the things i wan to tell her and find excuses for herself. Come on.

Hopefully there is one day that you will listen to what i wan to say. I dun wan to end like that, I wan to end as friends, the same way we started off, as friends.

Went to pick Dawn up b4 soccer. Late night before made it difficult to wake up in the morning and was a bit late. Traffic was as usual, a killer and i realised that i had to go through 3 ERP gantry to reach her workplace. Sucks~~

She prepared 2 sandwich as for my breakfast. Didnt quite expected that coming as i dont have the habit for breakfast. Sweet~

Soccer was fun in the morning, quite remarkable that i didnt had stitches after having the 2 sandwich for breakfast. I suppose i am fitter now than before as it took me a while before i decided to stop, but due to the blister i am having on my leg. Definitely need to find my street soccer boots as there's gonna be more and more session all the way till rag =)

Cant do much of those cheerleading throws as i seriously doubt that my wrist can take it anymore. Less of doing and more of teaching.

Celebrated Sydney's birthday @ White Dog Cafe. Food was good and we definitely created a racket over there with our constant request for more table space and also small things such as water, utensils and reminders to the crew on the lateness of our food. Wonderful celebration on top of vivo city and had a small interruption from this group of old folks that i think are looking for numbers for 4D or toto. Asked for sydney's age~ Weird ppl these days~

Went over to school to picked Dawn up after her dance and the celebration. She look quite unwell, I suppose it is due to her office where everyone is sick.

Went over to ruiting place for mahjong cum chat chat session. It was ruined by kelvin presence thru the nite. Argh. But it was good that i won money~

Harry Potter Private Screening

2007-07-15T20:55:00.000+08:00

Woah.. It was all excitement in anticipation towards this private screening. Arrived bit late at shaw tower for the program before the show. Ernest and Lynn had their hands in this pot of green gooey thing and had to fish for plastic insects in exchange for gifts. I prefer to keep my hands clean =) The program was quite good, other than the part that the black tent is bit too small for the amount of people in it. The whole show was more for parents to bring their kids to have fun in and i would sure love it if i was still a kid.

Ok. Yahui looks different from the photos and i can understand why she's in star search. She's tall and pretty but why did she have to put on that tie. Haha. I suppose this is a SRJC thing and also SRJCians will know about it. Just the tie along is nice, but when you visualize it together with the rest of the uniform. Reminds me of my time in SR~ Got to know Sammi also, and she is from SR.. AS WELL.. Seems that Shaw Tower employs a lot of people from SRJC. They pay their temp good but what a pity that they are only employing ladies.

It sure was different from the time i watch transformers in it. The stinky smell was gone and it sure look cleaner than before. It was quite weird to wait alone in my seat whilst waiting for Dawn to finish her duties at the reception desk. Saw Mervyn at the cinema and he's there with this girl for the screening as well. Wad a coincidence that Mervyn is sitting next to Ernest throughout the show and if i am not mistaken, the girl is from SR as well.. Small world..

Movie started a while b4 Dawn and Yahui came, didnt miss much of the show as well. The show was not as good as expected, maybe due to too much much hype over it. There aint much high point during the show and also that the ending was quite bad, didnt really like the double ending but it was later explained by Dawn that it have to end at in the school. Oh well.. But it was not all bad as the fight scene was not bad and you can see that the actors and actresses in the show learned to act better as well.

Decided to take a risk and went for fried hokkien mee at Eunos for supper. And it was concluded that I am not allergic to prawn and have been eating them since. Either it is the combination of Frog leg porridge and prawn or it is the sea water that the prawn was swimming. But seem like the sea water is more probable and its the first and last time i am going back to the prawn farm.

King Of FRUITS; DURIAN~

Sherry Birthday Dinner Part 2: DURIANS~

Cheap and nice durians.. Strong smell, bitter and thick flesh. Just the way i love my durian =) Yum Yum. But its also because of this i think i am falling sick. Too Too Heaty for me to handle. Once i am well again, its back to the durian pile before the season ends =)

Happy Birthday Sherry

2007-07-15T15:12:00.000+08:00

Its been quite sometime since i had blogged and there's things that i would wan to blog on b4 i start forgetting them. Lets start with Sherry's birthday celebration on Wednesday. Went to Odac's favourite place, that is Cafe Cartel @ Serangoon Garden. Was hoping that the crew screw up the orders again but there was too little ppl there to make such a mistake anyway. Food was great and we had a great time catching up with one another. Got to know that Nigel is now attached with this 18 year old girl from once his university, USW @ SG. Quite sad to know that he spent 1/2 a year there and now he is pondering whether he should redo his uni in a private university in Sg or go over to Australia to continue his course.

Oh well.. Back to the birthday gal. This gal is still crazy as ever and still very much afraid of cats. She is still looking for a marketing job and taking her time while it's been a while since she graduated. You better find a job soon gal =) Everyone seems to be busy with their own stuff but got to have more gatherings soon =) Cant wait for the next one.

So Wronged

2007-07-11T09:30:00.000+08:00

Blog is a very personal thing and it represent my thoughts and reflections on certain stuff.. I understand some may put themselves in my posting and visualize themselves as the character in the post.. But there are a million possibilities on what is the true meaning behind it and often people misinterpreted what i am trying to mean and also who are the characters in it..

Hate that feeling that i am wronged..

For the things that was not meant to be like..

Posting From The Jerk

2007-07-11T09:20:00.000+08:00

Hate the misty forest that gets her lost in it and cant find a way out..

But one day she will walk out of the misty forest and see the castle standing in front of her..

That the Jerk may not be who you think he is..

You will have to walk out of the misty forest with the help from your companions who are always there when you needed them..

But you can only find the truth in the castle yourself and no one can help you on that..

Hope you will one day find the truth in the castle..

From,

Reflection On BREAKID

2007-07-07T10:45:00.000+08:00

Overall, I must say it's a good experience for me being FOC Head and definitely I have more to learn to be a better leader and motivator.. I realised that being a head you are in this position that does not give you much opportunity to interact with the freshmen and also my people on the more personal aspect, I dont get to see what the ground is seeing and really I have to depend on second hand information to know what is happening.. Kinda hate that feeling as it makes me feel very mechanical, that i am only concern on how the event run and not so much on how they feel.. Definitely need to work on that.

It's been a very long 4 days and nights camp and if you include in the preparation time, I must say that the effort put into this is all worthwhile, though temper flare and there are failure to keep to timing, I am glad that it start off and ended with a high tempo.. To all that have work your socks off, bleed for me and had sleepless nights while handling the freshmen, YOU'RE THE BEST~

This camp won't be possible without all of you..

The 2 Ambulances

2007-07-01T02:56:00.001+08:00

Evil Clown VS Good Clown~ Should have picked a better looking wig and gave a better look. Big difference in how the photo turn out. Saw this old phone booth that Dawn said makes a good make up room as it is not wet plus the big big mirror. Decide to take photo in it and it turns out quite well as I LOOK AT THE LENS~

Started the day @ beach road where i bought my own stuff and foc stuff. Dawn wanted to buy cargo pants but seems cant find the one she fancy. Carpark there was quite bad as you got so so many cars waiting for so so so little carpark lots.

The auntie @ stall 133 complained to me about the crowd and that it was lucky that she is not working the next day. Maybe it was because i was not the BOTAK RECRUITS that was scattered all over the place. Had dinner @ beach road. Dawn had this skinny fish and chips and i had chicken cutlet. Food was ok, if you didnt consider the serving and the crispy fries that tasted like chips. Had this little game of guessing the filling of the Tan Yuan and i lost quite badly. Wonder how she got it all right la?

It was Liang Cha day as everyone is falling sick and its either that or the doctor. Not as bad as i thought it would be. Quite tasty actually~

Went to Suntec to buy my sleeping bag. Cheap cheap~ Den we got entice by this new addition to Suntec City. Looks like a mini replica of the fountain of wealth. Quite pretty and many could not resist taking photo there. Starting posing and taking numerous pictures in front of it, minus the part that i keep switching to video mode and before we knew it, we are surround by ppl fascinated with it and taking photo themselves. WE brought in the CROWD =)

So many nice looking toys on exhibition. And again we took many photos, including one that Dawn went to honk the nose and i dig the nose. I should stop taking ugly photos of myself. =)

Went to walk around Esplanade but was deterred by the crowd due to the NDP rehearsal. Moved to Marina after finishing our ice cream. Before that, saw shawn n ruiting at Max Brenner. I MISS CHOCOLATE~

Went to explore Marina City Park again, this time in the dark. It's a whole new experience as all seems so peaceful, minus the view of the brightly lit city. Got startled by this person carry a torchlight walking into the park. Disregarded him as he was going another direction and didnt see us. Dun wan to get caught trespassing into the park =) Den we got disrupted by this 2 vehicles (dawn said it was 2 ambulances but why was it driving in the park) Decided to get out of the park before we are picked up by the ambulances, thinking we are druggies. Soon, it was confirm that they are ambulances, differences b/w perfect and non perfect eye sight.

Busy Busy Day

2007-07-01T02:35:00.000+08:00

On our way to get Loreal Sponsorship. Cant imagine taking a photo of our reflection in a beautiful lift. This lift gives the building added age and flavour. Turn out quite nice, other than the part that i dunno where to look when taking the photo. Looks like i am looking at the corner of the lift rather than at the camera. Trick is to look at the reflection of the lens and you will get the perfect pic.

I gave away myself when i first saw jamie from Loreal. Haha. Was quite shock for him to turn out like that. I expected someone of age from his voice, rather than the rugged look of his. Spent more time counting the products that we are entitled to. Lucky that Dawn is with me, if not i have no idea when will i count finish the stuff la.

Tried to pose with the Milk Run goodie bag we cant get a good pic with it. See the orange looking thing, thats the bag. Collection point was like so close to Sylvia's mother's shop la. Avoid avoid~ Went for late lunch at Thai Express and had to eat fast as we got a tight tight schedule to keep.

Have to rush back to sch to get the key and duplicate it, get the first aid kit, get bubble tea for my committee, send email to OSA, meeting with archi and DXO for arts bash.

WAH~ Feels like rushing for the train~ Full of excitement, full of problems~

DXO was not as bad as expected, but that doesnt mean it is good either. Missed the dance but lucky that i could watch it over Dawn's camera as it was recorded down. Nice nice.

Music was not bad when they start playing R&B. Aircon seems non functioning and drinks are expensive and diluted. Clubbing depends on your company and all other matters seems small. Really enjoyed myself, despite the tiredness.

UK Fun Fair

2007-06-28T02:21:00.001+08:00

After VORTEX This was after Vortex, should have brought hp up for the ride as it was CRAZY. Was caught off guard as the ride start immediately after we went in. Both of us thought that the other carriage have to come down and offload the people before proceeding. Best part was when we went head first, upside down, towards the ground. What we saw was the soil in front of us and next moment was looking at the another direction. So FAST la~

Although it look scary when we saw others on the ride, you feel nervous when you are up on the ride, but it is alright after you are doing it as you dun have time to think =)

Too bad we forgotten to take the BEFORE photo to see how different we look.

Ferris Wheel

Merry Go Round

I call this the Yakitori Ride =)

VORTEX!!

Duck Rice~

2007-06-28T02:14:00.001+08:00

Yummy + Fastest Serving Boneless Teochew Duck Rice~

Great stuff, especially after starving for quite some time and rumbling stomach. It's a first time for Dawn but dunno how many times for me. Too bad there is limited side dishes they provide, would really want to see some other teochew dishes to go with the duck rice. Tofu sucks~ But the vegs and and organs taste nice.

Can still remember the first time was with Chia Wei and Ryan. Forgotten when was it but the food still taste the same. Ever so good~

Tensions Are High

2007-06-27T01:26:00.000+08:00

Its drawing nearer to FOC and we realise that there are still so much left to do and settle. Temper are sure to flare as people are getting not enough sleep and rest.

Guys and Girls, cool your heads and lets work together as a collective unit.

Lets make this FOC a good one.

Tuesday With Morrie

2007-06-25T01:51:00.000+08:00

When you are young, there's people to look after you. When you are of age, you takeover the job of looking after people. When you are old, there's people to look after you. This is from a dying person whom realized this as he didn't have much time left to live. Got this off a book and pretty much agree with it. Everything is this world work in a cycle and eventually things will go back to square one. What you do to people, people will do to you.

Well, its interesting to learn things from a difference aspect and direction.

Interesting book that i would recommend.

Aberage?

2007-06-25T01:05:00.000+08:00

Wanted to go walk around town and do some shopping. Seems that there aren't anything that we could buy anyway and went for a movie @ Cathay instead. Decide to watch Surf's Up and i must say it's quite a nice show, minus the part that it only lasted 1.5 hrs. Penguins in the show are quite cute and we wanted to match each penguins to our friends. Well, who is which penguin, that will not be revealed. Never give up on our dreams and aspirations. If you lose them, you will end up lost and not know what to do in life.

Had a drink @ TCC. Well, the drinks was not up to expectation. How you expect anyone to eat the ice cream floating in the drink when there are lots of ice in the drink. Bad combination!

Wanted to read up more on Christianity and got a tiny book on New Testament from Dawn. Tiny as i can put it in my pocket. Think i got influence from Jackson. He was finished New Testament and now starting on Old Testament. All the best to you.

Aberage? Its a private joke =)

Last Night

2007-06-24T14:35:00.000+08:00

These 3 are my favorites. Took them off posters at the CG show. Richard and I wanted to get our hands on the posters after the show but seems the organizers have other plans for them and they were packed once the show ended. Shucks.

Its like woah~ 103 inch Plasma TV~ How often do you get to see that rite? Its difficult to visualise how big is that but imagine you are watch TV the size of a super single bed, but WIDER. Should rename this show as Boys and their BIG TOYS~

The setup and exhibition itself. Didn't took much picture and we were nothing much to take also. We were so bored that we walked from Hall 9 to 1. So much to see~ So much impressive things~ All left would be the tear down that can kill us. Got to accomplish everything within 1 and 1/2 days. It took us 7 days to set up. Do your maths.

Whats left before i left for home. Great job for the 9 superhumans. Somehow i can feel how the Ah Neh feel when they are doing work. Tough job. It also let me see how the behind the scene works for event companies. Thats where i wan to work also. EVENTS~

END OF JOB~

Had dinner with Dawn @ Punggol Nasi Lemak. Great stuff and it still maintain the standard the last time i had it. Which was like 3-4 years ago. Couldnt resist the temptation of DURIAN. Though it didnt taste great but oh well. Its still one of my favourite fruit. Especially those that are fleshy, small seed and bitter tasting. Yum Yum.

Injured @ Work

2007-06-23T00:54:00.000+08:00

Its so irritating today la. Maybe its because i am too tired that i keep getting myself injured. Getting my fingers caught in between the moving parts, dropping metal chair on my toes, getting it stepped on and dropping metal shelving on it.

ARGH~

Cant really concentrate at work as all of us work till like zombies. Walking from point A to B, lifeless.

Tear down is hard. Harder than setup as we got to do the same thing but at double (maybe triple) pace. It quite a difficult when the roller shutter b/w halls are down and there are so much vehicles on the road that you cant move from hall to hall properly. It got even worse when you dun have time for dinner and totally forgotten to eat as we are just too busy.

Work will officially end on Saturday at 1900hrs where Cityneon have to handover to Singapore Expo. Cant wait for it to happen.

Put an end to my agonizing time at work, bearing the ridiculous pain and trauma on my poor toe =(

Ruiting Bday

2007-06-23T00:21:00.000+08:00

Went to Kushinbo today for dinner and they said that i was different from before. That i used to have such a big appetite and now it is so different. Though of it myself and ya it's true la. Maybe that's why i keep losing weight.

Food was alright and expensive. Seems better if we go to the Jap Restaurant near novena. But what important is the company. Crazy bunch of people i hang out with. A moment we were having our food and another moment it seems that ZY is trying to pick a fight with the people on the next table. But those people are damn irritating and they deserve the treatment ZY is giving them.

Decided to go singing~ Lost my voice la~ It's a bad decision to sing till 2am when we are all working early the next day. But had lots of updates from ruiting. So much stories from her la. Definitely need to meet up more to get of the stories =) You go gal =)

Casarina Curry

2007-06-21T01:23:00.000+08:00

I must say it's a wrong decision to have prata there. It was strongly recommended by Quack Quack and he said that it was better than Jalan Kayu. But I still prefer the prata at Jalan Kayu. There was complaints about the diluted teh peng. And my teh chino taste diluted. =(

First and last time there =(

Gone With The Old Nail

2007-06-20T21:04:00.001+08:00

Ouch~ This is the result from the expo job. After being run over by the trolley that we use to carry all those heavy and bulky stuff.

Had to cut the whole nail bit by bit. If not the new nail wont grow out nicely. Surprised that it doesn't hurt much after i cut it out (if no one step on it). Still wondering whether can i wear shoes anytime soon.

Argh~

FOC is coming and hope that it will heal in time.

Break From Work

2007-06-20T01:27:00.000+08:00

It feels so good to have a break from work, from the late nights carrying things from one hall to another. Today was a very very slack day, so slack that i think i could go home take a nap and no one will notice. There isn't anything much left to do other than the small fix here and there.

Went for dinner @ parkway and had steamboat. Been quite long since i went there and the food still taste good. Wasn't in the mood for shopping as the shops were mostly close and decided to go down to tanjong rhu to chill out. Greeted by a light breeze and what i would say, noisy atmosphere. That place will be undergoing changes and will not be like before, a nice place for couples to hang out.

Come to think of it, at the end of this month, Kallang Stadium will see it's last testimonial match with Australia. (I hope it will be the last la) After that, major changes will take place in the vicinity and really hope to see the new place.

It Had To Be You

2007-06-19T00:37:00.000+08:00

Or known as Hou Bei Tian Xin.

Caught a glimpse of it after i reach home today. Really love this movie and it made me ponder a while. About how it resemble my own situation in a bit. Its a great movie that showed after so much things that happened to a person, they still stuck their head into a relationship that they cant bear to leave. It's only after the realization, then they know what they need to do and should do.

Finding the right person is also the key to the show where they realized that yup, thats what they want. Finding the right one need time to realized and it is quite different from infatuation. Infatuation is momentary where it will fade as time passes while slowly understanding the person and reaffirming what you are looking for.

No one wan a relationship for the sake of it and definitely is looking a long term one. I can still remember what Ryan told me; that getting into relationship helps to understand the person more as you will be facing the real him, whether is it different from the person you thought you knew when he woo you. Whether does he change after getting together, whether you feel the same for him after getting together.

I am sure everyone would want to make an informed decision before getting into a relationship and also to confirm what you really feel about the person. No point have a fail relationship and going through the painful period again.

Well, its how you see it. I dun believe in hiding of own feelings and guessing what the other is thinking. It is different from how usual people does and it sure need a different approach to deal with it.

Only Hope

Wei Juan 21st Birthday

2007-06-18T00:02:00.000+08:00

Managed to rushed down before she cut her cake, that was after my work end at 530 and also after dinner with my family. It was great to have a change in what i do all day, work work and more work. After that would be come back home and go online. Its great to see those that you have not seen for quite sometime and get in touch with them.

Fun family and lovely bf she has and it was great to see Simon to do up the decor and etc for the party =)

Good to hear from them that i lost weight =) Now it is time to train up my muscles =)

Lighted Path

2007-06-17T01:47:00.000+08:00

It is hard to do something that is against your will. As your mind wants you to go this way, while your legs take you the other direction, knowing it will be better a choice. Rather than making matter worst.

There is always this conflict of interest when i talk about this matter and often to the wrong person. Seems that my mind tell me I tell the person about it but it is just so difficult as my actions sometimes betray even myself.

People are easily influenced by emotions and often act in response to them.

Being emotional creatures, it is just so difficult to do things against it.

Follow your heart and light will shine a path for you.

Cityneon

2007-06-17T00:36:00.001+08:00

Got into a mini labour union with my crew at Cityneon. For a listed company, I can't imagine how come they do not practice simple labour law according to the employment act and can go about to breaking the rule and prey upon us part-timers.

That got the whole crew to go against and went against the management with regards to our pay. Got back a simple reply which was there is no change. Our direct supervisor got shot down even before opening his mouth to discuss the matter. It wasn't a discussion, seems that they aren't interested in our concern and also the seriousness of the concern. As what John say, we are all here to work and if he has the ability to get the crew of 15 to work, he has the ability to get the whole crew of 15 not to.

But before heading out for the confrontation, got help from Ernest to do some research on Employment Act and Labour Law on our status and how can we go about to discuss the matter. There was the 44hr rule , CPF contribution of 33% by employer and also the termination clause + compensation. That was enough for us to go meet the management.

Sat down with the foreman to discuss the issue and seems they had a discussion prior to it with the accountant (dunno why but she was pretty useless for a degree holder). He relayed the discussion earlier to us that we are part timers and therefore not entitled to the 1.5 OT on sat. The accountant added that we are casual worker and so not entitled (what crap is she talking about? ain't such thing as casual worker). The female accountant was more of like picking a fight and trying to use scare tactics on kids to get them to work rather than solving the problem amicably. We were there to solve a problem, not create one. Who can stand her ridiculous nature and take it lying down. Thats when the ammunition from Ernest comes into play and she shut her trap after I mentioned the exact statue and chapter that we are protect under and even explain to her what is it about. We ain't that stupid to be duped by her. If she mentioned that what she said was from MOM, we can make this issue big as well. We can bring in MOM and CPF.

Eventually, we got compensation from the company and let the matter rest. In the process, we slay the ridiculous accountant that was suppose to be a shrewd figure in the company.

What crap was that?

I am sure that i can mentioned lots and lots and lots of people who are more capable to run the company as they are completely ignorant of what they are handling. Maybe it will dig up more dark dark secrets after an audit? Is there any reward for doing it? If there is, I am quite sure that anyone will get it by reporting it.

RUBBISH COMPANY & MANAGEMENT!!

Tired

2007-06-16T00:10:00.000+08:00

Hate planning for activities that ended up with everyone giving me half hearted reply and telling me they got plans last min, sick or all sort of other excuses.

I suppose HK trip may end up in the trash bin as I am still waiting for half the world to reply me.

CRAP

2nd Chance Tattoo?

2007-06-15T23:56:00.001+08:00

Got to know this guy from work called Azhar whom is studying in NUS. He shared his experience with his regret over his tattoo after his girlfriend told him that a true Muslim should not have a tattoo. That's when he decided to do a tattoo removal on his arm which was the shocking part that ain't for the faint hearted.

Normally, people would associate tattoo removal with the more mainstream approaches such as acid wash or laser it off. He took a DIY approach, which he first start by scrubbing the tattoo hard till the skin start to soften and pus begin to ooze from the wound. Next he cut off the top layer of skin and he describe it as plastic like texture. He ended it off with a splash of dettol to kill the germs.

OUCH~

The end product was a ugly looking scar on his upper arm.

Having regrets on getting a tattoo on my ankle.

What's so nice about getting a permanent graffiti on your bare skin as the canvas and live to regret another day?

Tension Of Opposites

2007-06-15T23:46:00.000+08:00

Whatever you do in life and together with the decisions that you make, there is always tension of opposites. Meaning that whatever you do now, it will draw you away from the other opposite decision. It is always good that this tension remain as it is and not tight as it will snap. That's what I call making the wrong decisions.

I have made many wrong decisions in my life and I often look back at them and constantly reminding myself that I would not do them again. But I am someone that will live by my decision and stay true with it till the end, provided that it is not an endless pit that one cant do anything but continue to fall into it.

I am glad that one of the wrong decision that I had made is being relieved of the tension and that things are working out what it should had been. What I wan to say is sorry to the person as I know it's my fault.

Work Like A Peon

2007-06-13T23:07:00.001+08:00

Been working for the past 2 days and I can understand how a peon feels in War Craft.

Work Work.

But having the chance to work at the setup of a exhibition really open me up in the sense of what goes on behind the scene and behind all the glamor of the exhibition. It may look simple for people to set up the partition, putting potted plants here and there, having ushers and concierge services to guide people around the hall.

They dunno about the irritating part of moving the temporary structure from the factory to the exhibition hall, the usage of manual labour where they would be more efficient when comes to moving the items using machinery.

They could be more efficient in term of allocating manpower and not complaining that there is nothing to do at one moment and another moment trying to get tired out by giving huge orders out.

There was also the problem of too many indian chiefs trying to give orders and run the show. It always ended up with us peons doing a lot of work over and over again.

Well, it's good that my group are quite motivated and we got things done very fast. We all know what we had to do and how to do it. Rather than waiting for work to given to us, we look for work to do. It not fun to slack around and not doing anything when you know that eventually you got to do them.

But today was a different day where I can't imagine that i did two stupid things. First thing was that i smash the trolley I was moving into the expo wooden door and kinda smash it real well. Sydney said when ever i go past hall 5 with my friends, i should tell them about the 'mark' i left there. Not really pretty though..

Second thing was i smash a bar top table into the exit. Yes, i broke the table top away from the connecting leg. How the heck i would know that i would stack things so high that i could not get it past the door. Yong Quan could not signal to me in time to ask me to brake and yup. The table knock against the top of the exit and fell on him. Good thing that there ain't any open wound but i suppose he will wake up with an awful sore on his arms. Was quite lucky that the table could be fix back by screwing the leg back in and that i missed the green exit sign by an inch.

Quite a action pack day with all the smashing of stuff and with all the stunts that i pulled. Such as skating on the fork lift, using the trolley and forming a train and get the first person to drag us all =) Love those moments.
When i left work at 1730hrs just now, saw this rainbow appearing during a small drizzle and decide to snap a picture of it. Can you see it the faint rainbowish thing that goes over the red and white chimney?

Story Of Dark Chocolate Lovers

2007-06-12T23:52:00.000+08:00

It may seem weird when you ask someone why you would want to do all sort of things for her when you know what would be her reply. That she is ain't ready for any commitments and it would be better to remain as friends now. And that she wants to take more time to know you more as it is too short a time to understand each other.

I am sure that it has bothered most people during their entire life.

But what i can say is that people will only do it if they think that it is worth it to do so, no matter what she gives you as her reply and will continue to do so. Because it is through all these things that he let the girl know more about him.

There are things that he wan to let the girl know about, on what he want to say, what he want to do and what he dream of the night before. But all these have to be kept within till the right moment.

As more and more they understand about one another, it also seems that there are more things in common than what untrained eyes can give.

But this is life, ain't it?

The story of dark chocolate lovers continue.

Wayne?

2007-06-12T23:45:00.000+08:00

Need a honest reply whether I suit this name.

Ok. If it is according to the meaning ---> From an occupational surname meaning "wagon maker", derived from Old English wægn "wagon". Use as a first name can be partly attributed to the popularity of the actor John Wayne. Another famous bearer is Canadian hockey player Wayne Gretzky, likely the greatest in the history of his sport.

I don't think i suit this name.

It sounds nice with the rest of my name.

Shrek 3

2007-06-11T23:31:00.001+08:00

Interesting movie. The humour in the movie was just right for me. Although someone said that it was below expectation, overall it was fine. Didn't really expect so much humor from a cartoon but maybe its because of the world class cast behind those voices =)

Love the look on the puss in boots face.

Hate the look on donkey face when puss is in his body.

No More Prawn

2007-06-11T23:19:00.000+08:00

For the past 22 years of my life, I never had an allergic reaction and it must happen on the day that I had my first prawn fishing session. I look like a puffer fish cum lobster after an hour and had to use ice to let the swelling go down. But that was before the colour of the rashes turns purple.

All I want to say is that allergy can hit you anytime in your life and I won't want to go through it ever again.

NO MORE PRAWNS

Walk Down Memory Lane

2007-06-10T23:08:00.001+08:00

Took a walk from Esplanade, went pass the Merlion and to Clifford pier. It's quite a sight to see the changes that the area is undergoing and imagine how it would look like the future. Even saw some weird guys with their equipments surveying the area and this boat that goes around collecting trash in the river.

It's a good change from the usual bustling lifestyle that everyone has. It feels good to take time off and take a walk. Away from the usual place like orchard rd and bugis.

But really, it depends on the people you go with. Cos these are the sort of place that you wont want to go with a huge bunch of people and disturb the nice peaceful surroundings amidst the bustling city.

Glad that i did.

Max Brenner, The Lover Of Chocolate

2007-06-10T22:35:00.000+08:00

Lovely sweet surprise.

I must say that we had an overdose of chocolate and thank goodness we didn't had anything for lunch before that. Although we each had a drink and a slice of cake, it just seems so filling or maybe we had an overdose of chocolate.

Arhh..

No one can resist the temptation of lovely chocolate.

Death By Chocolate

2007-06-10T22:13:00.000+08:00

Interesting drink Suckao had turned out to be, interesting to mix and match according to our own preference, although it didn't turn out as what I had expected.

I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!

Miss Delia

2007-06-07T19:13:00.000+08:00

Had a fantastic talk session with this fella. It's then I realized that how long we have not been catching up. Didn't realized that she has broken up with Roy (aka Gorilla) since Feb and now she is attached with her ex from sec sch that what I heard, seems to be the right guy for her. He was the one who stood by her through the darker days and touched her heart with with his honesty and patience. Which was unlike Roy, who broken up due to one argument that was an accumulation of bad temper and timing. Although he came back and did a lot of things for her after realizing his mistake, it seems not enough for her to cover back traumatized and shocked period that she went through.

Well said by her, it seems that there is someone out that will make you feel appreciated, someone that will be honest and patient with you. There will be someone out that that is meant for you.

All the best to you Delia=)

Understand The Mind

2007-06-06T09:55:00.000+08:00

The most difficult thing to understand probably is the human mind. Metaphorically, people would say follow your heart but in actually fact it meant follow what your mind tells you. It is difficult to know what you should do and what you think what the person is trying to tell you as you have to interpret their body language and what they say. There are just so much possibilities of the things that they are trying to tell you and also the things they say and how they say it differs from people.

Thats probably why there are people making irrational decisions and doing irrational things. Although the mind tells me to do something, but I am not. I have to convince myself to understand the present situation and wait it out. Wait for the time to be right. Many things in people's life ended up unsuccessful due to the fact that they started off too early or too late.

That's probably the hardest thing to do if it was a individual effort.

Moments To Remember

2007-06-06T00:08:00.000+08:00

Some moments may seem to be insignificant to some others but might mean a lot to someone. The significance doesn't really represented by what you are doing. What is more important is who you are doing with and the significance in your heart. That's why even doing simple things such as a walk down the beach can be moments for people to remember. Looking at someone you love is a moment to remember as there is nothing better than sweet mutual love.

Somehow people wonder why there are people who will do all sort of things for the people they love and ask themselves why are they so stupid and stuff. I disagree with it as they are those people who understand deep down inside themselves when they get that form of satisfaction you get when you see their face. These are the moments that are worth remembering as those are the moments that you will remember for life.

任贤齐 - 她要我她不爱我

2007-06-06T00:01:00.000+08:00

够清楚了
完全明白了
我知道该怎么做了
那也没什么
现在我伤心
只是气自己太傻了
喔也许离开是对的
也许一开始我就错了
也许我真正最想要的
也不是她能给的
她要我她不爱我
她要自由却怕寂寞
反正我给什么都不对
还不够填饱她的胃
她让我
觉得自己像个累赘
够清楚了
完全明白了
我知道该怎么做了
那也没什么
现在我伤心
只是气自己太傻了
喔也许离开是对的
也许一开始我就错了
也许我真正最想要的
也不是她能给的
她要我她不爱我
她懂得要求
却不懂把握
她似乎什么都不在乎
对我的付出从不屑一顾
她没有伤我
只是我自己太软弱
她要我她不爱我
她要自由却怕寂寞
反正我给什么都不对
还不够填饱她的胃
她让我
觉得自己像个累赘
她要我她不爱我
她懂得要求
却不懂把握
她似乎什么都不在乎
对我的付出从不屑一顾
她没有伤我
只是我自己太软弱

The lyrics speaks for itself.

Late Night Shopping

2007-06-04T12:20:00.000+08:00

Quite a good trip as I got stuff that I wanted to get and also stuff at bargain. Hopefully I made a good investment on the Kettler's weights and that wish that I can gain some muscles on my skinny frame in the process. Sigh....

Bought a total of 4 CD, all are Chinese albums varies from Elva Hsiao's 1037, SHE's Play, Stephanie Sun's Against The Light and lastly this Love Songs Compilation called Lover Only. Still pondering whether should I bought the 2 Jazz CDs that i saw by the counter. If I am not wrong, one of it was called Jazz in the city 2.

Went to Marina with Dawn after that and there we started the trip. GrinZ.... Bought one orange T-shirt bearing a skull as the logo. Looks good as it's the pale orange sort with not so complicated design on the front. Fits into my criteria of not so bright clothes with simple design. Wanted to buy this another T-shirt but it ain't on sale. Quoting from Dawn, no nett price. Decided to skip that and look for better buy. It was good that we decided to give the adidas jacket a miss as I found a better buy =) From this shop called Buffalo David Bitton. Got this zinc colored jacket that has simple stitchings on the left chest area. The best part of it was the 50% discount =) All the shopping made us missed the John Little Sale from 11pm to 12midnight. No wonder the shops are closing on us. Time can really fly when people are happily shopping and getting the stuff they want.

Supper @ Geylang was great as usual and we went for Dou Jiang You Tiao. I told myself that I should not trust a gal when she say she is hungry. She get hungry easily and get full easily as well. And I thought I could continue the eating spree with Frog Leg Porridge =) Yum Yum. Some other day then.

If You Want The RAINBOW, You Got To Put Up With The RAIN

2007-06-03T22:11:00.001+08:00

Got this off Sylvia's nick and it is quite true. If you wan the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain. Everyone wants to see the rainbow, but not everyone is prepared to put up with the rain. If you know what the weather would be like, how heavy is the rain, whether there would be flood. One would be able to better put up with the rain.

If you keep getting misinformed updates from the weatherman and ended up being swept away by the flood caused by the rain. Once is bearable but how about numerous times? Can the frail human body take so much battering and not knowing what will happen in the future.

I would stay home and wait for better weather. It's kinda hard to put up with the rain.

Keeping Things Simple

2007-06-03T14:58:00.000+08:00

Sometimes, it is just so difficult to say something from your heart without having to hurt anyone. That affects a lot people around me as they tried to rephrase what they want to say and that changed the meaning to what they want to say. It is also how people misinterpret the actual meaning.

You may decide that you wan to end this relationship, but because you don't want to make it too harsh for the other party and ended up making things worse as it can't solve the problem. Actual meaning get warped and the start of a struggle begins. The struggle between getting the idea across to the other party and without hurting them too much. It can be avoided if you just keep things simple.

It is the same as falling in love with someone, keeping things simple, not know how to explain your feeling. But why can't falling out of love be the same as who we got into it in the first place. Keeping things simple.

Waiting For The Right Bus

2007-06-01T23:41:00.000+08:00

Having advices from friends can help me in settling my thoughts and evaluate the situation. No man is perfect in any sense and would most definitely make mistake. What everyone hope to is minimizing the mistakes, and if to make a decision, it has to be at the right moment.

I most certainly have my own way of dealing with things, and end up not making the rational decision. But being in love is not something rational. It is not something that you can explain it's actions with rational reasoning. It is not something that you can explain your love for someone in a rational manner. It is most certainly very random in the sense of there are many reason that one can fall in love and fall out of love. Often there is not explanation to it and even there is, depending on the maturity and comprehension level of the individual, there are various interpretation. Ultimately, all these variables come together to form what you call a relationship. Every relationship is unique and can't be compared with one another. That's why some people can be contented in theirs but those around them may think otherwise. That's why some people can be in arms of one of the best lovers they had ever come across and still not contented to what they are having.

It is difficult to find one true love. But once anyone finds it, you got to grab hold of the opportunity and do not let it slip away. It is similar to waiting for a bus. The first bus doesn't have air-con and you decide to give it a miss. The second bus was too packed and you decided to give it a miss. The third bus is fairly filled up and has air-con but you decided to give it a miss as you believe that there are better bus around. When you realized it, it was already past the bus service timing and there aren't any bus left for you. Once you miss it, there is no way you can say you want to board the bus as it has already past you. The bus ain't going to turn back just for you and it applies to a person as well. There is not turning back on the decision that one made and you got to live with it.

Found this interesting website that tells people of the qualities that one should develop to lead a holistic and better life. Telling us that we should do something about ourselves and take responsibility for the things around us.

Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together by Anonymous

Just a quote from this site I found. Very true.
