Weekend without Ling :(

2008-09-07T02:59:00.003+08:00

Well, this has been a weekend that I was looking forward to... a weekend to meet with friends and more friends...since Ling is out of town with her family.

To kick start, this morning, I went to.....*drumroll* my office. lol :P Great way to start the ball rolling on a happy saturday. Yay. Anyway, got stuck with my colleague for around 7 hrs rushing for a presentation for a meeting where pple will sit arguing for hours.... think I will be taking minutes (not minutes to finish my presentation, but notes of meeting where you try to uance it so that all parties do not look like they're shirking responsibility and talking rubbish - tough job ....wonderful =)

Anyway, met up with Sparky and Bocky Pig after my gruelling session in office. Haven't seen Bocky in a while and I thot he was in Bangkok, in the midst of the riots and explosions. woohoo. Turns out he's not....not brave enuff to go? nope...he broke his leg playing badminton!! I never knew one could actually do that -_- Usually I would expect a person to break ur leg in othe ways.....(e.g., something hit it...hard...golf ball, club) well....he is a bit more aggressive when he plays sports.....looks like a bear, so i guess he is aggressive. (truth is i never played with him b4...badminton that is :))

well turns out that their social circles have been expading and mine has been shrinking, since almost all the people in The Coffee Club seem to know them - including ex-gf M. [Digression:I have this problem with tcc and The Coffee Club. Think I may be the only one but somehow, I can never remem which is which. Luckily I remem that I like tcc better....Think shops can try to be more innovative that using 'The' Coffee Club or 'The Coffee Connoiseur (or whateva it is spelt as )... Why not Best Coffee Club??]

Hmmm. told Bocky that M is indeed very pretty....shld woo her back la....seeding may be fun but then, 1 bird in the hand (don't giggle you pervert!!) is better than 500 in the bush la. anyway saw this lady who looked like a much chio-er version of Ericia Lee.... at first glance i tot it was her...but after looking at her bf, i arrived at the conclusion that it could not be :P.

Showed Sparky and Bocky the scratch I made on Ling's car....sian man.... Think my spatial gauging still sucks :( Sparky' dad told him that the part underneath the doors are ex to repair while my dad says it is cheap as it is the metallic part....praying hard now.... bye bye $$

Anyway it seems like Bocky is on to something...hee having dinner with a ger!!! Jiayou Bocky.... And Gen got a new hairdo..very pretty... think gd looking ppl just look gd whateva they do to their hair etc.... need my plastic surgery soon :)

CNY resolutions

2008-01-22T21:14:00.000+08:00

Was doing some in depth reflection while walking home....was recently told to pull up my socks.... so i took stock of my life now.... then realised the prob....i don't really use my brain.....(b4 u switch to a new page) in non-academic matters....i.e. in life, current affairs, social, etc.....

I guess this arose from my character: easy-going, fun-loving, and basically bo chup.... haha this hasn't affected me much until now....since it sort of overflowed into my job....sigh.... and I think i am by nature careless......crap....and i say i am meticulous in my strength when i went for my interviews.....

Was just reflecting..... I think i let responsibilities fly by without caring. at this age i think i need to start picking up the pieces of my responsibilities that i have bee letting drop and press on...

well i need to start changing my overall attitude and outlook, and broaden and widen my views and read more widely. :)

but the gd thing abt me is i will never let anything douse my spirit for long (with bad side comes a gd side....of my char) I can cope stress better than most ppl i guess. i will try to assimilate and absorb whatever i can and be a better person!! am feeling ultimate guilty for making my boss cover up for me.....that is depressing....i don't want to hai anyone. will buck up :)

gd thing is while i was reflecting, i found that i have lost trackof my priorities...of things which are truly impt to me...like my family, qm and my friends. I have neglected them in 1 way and another, and they mean the world to me :)

So my CNY resolution would be to change my attitude and.... to focus more on the impt ppl in my life!!

Start Appraisals Today

2008-01-22T20:38:00.000+08:00

We shld start appraising beautiful things in Singapore.

Well, this does not refer to girls....I know what you are thinking but no.

This is actually a dry topic that many have posted before either on blogs or in the news..

Think we should always commend and praise those in our society who does 'gd deeds' instead of always complaining about the ugly 'Singaporean' or the latest fare hike :P reminds me of a friend i have who complained abt service of Singaporeans in Singapore... and he even coined up a new acronym for it....PEBS....Pay Extra for Bad Service....XD guess who

Was on MRT on my way home from work. I was squeezed right into the middle of the mrt when the door opened (missed the previous one simply becos i could not be sardined into the carriage). just as i was preparing to drift (as in blank out and think of nth), i realised this strange non-Chinese man (because i don't know his race) gesturing for me to sit.....

just as i was feeling amused and dumbfounded, i looked round and saw a...pregnant lady....sigh there goes my seat....but I knew it wasn't for me....if it was...that is really sth to praise!! -_-

i did not even notice the pregnant lady beside me while i was waiting for the train. think the man was quite zai....simply because he noticed..., if nothing else.....there will always be ppl who abab and just pretend not to notice... or ppl like me who really never notice....and truthfully, even if i noticed, it might not occur to me to give up my seat....i always get nudged by qm b4 i realise...sometimes i wonder am i really truly a selfish person XD

but when i stop and think....i will give up my seat if i think abt it.....think i really not using my brain nowadaes.....which taught me a great leasson recently.....

Back from a period of slacking...

2007-07-09T10:52:00.000+08:00

Just realised to my horror that i actually have not blogged a single entry since my HK trip in June. Been too lazy slacking ard and enjoying my all night MJ sessions with Cao and Nv Ren.

Well, shall tok a bit abt my HK trip now, since it ranks among the top 5 questions ppl ask me now when they meet me. FYI, the top 5 questions ppl ask a Winston when they see one is as follows:

1) How's your HK Trip?
2) When are you getting married?
3) Where you going to work after you ORD?
4) Are you still with your whoever?
5) You are Wilson right?

Well anyway, I think i really do not like HK all tat much at all. First of all, the food there is really oily....even their porridge.....(had a bowl of frog porridge there and it was incredibly oily.....dun noe how they manage to put so much oil in almost anything they cook..) Dim Sum was gd as expected but you can't expect me to eat that for all 7 days right? Think mebbe i had bad karma or sth.. Definitely did not find any food there that characterises HK which I will miss once i come back to good old singapore.

Another thing is the people there are perpetually in 'rushed' mode, where everyone is impatient (even when having meals). They gave me a feeling that they all got a world to save, and if they dun turn up in time, time itself would collapse and die.... Thus poor old me who probably failed Catonese 1101, had to put up with very rude behaviour when ordering food, or buying stuff. Even though some HKers there can speak fluently in both English and Chinese still continue to speak in cantonese to me even though i had problem replying to them. After that, they will still show a very 'black' face when we are done... Think this was a good experience / culture shock for me. I am not saying that I am stereotyped now or anything, but I would not want to put someone else in my shoes. (I think all of us should treat foreigners n singapore nicely and make them feel at home. We shld be a nice host!! :) Just a simple smile or a word of thanx would probably make their day.....At least it would have made mine)

Anyway, mebbe it is just the personal experience which sort of spoiled the fun of the trip. The branded apparels there are priced lower than singapore's so you can get good bargains there. Also, I kinda liked the Disneyland on Lantau island, even though many people always luv to insult it, comparing to the Paris Disneyland, or Tokyo Disneyland. Personally I feel that everyone of these theme parks have absorbed some of the culture native to the country and each theme park will probably give u a different experience. Pics will be uploaded shortly to my multiply site. Some will be published here as well. Enuff random ramblings....

HK Trip!!

2007-06-14T23:47:00.000+08:00

Hi Folks, I noe iI have once again neglected to update my blog. Being a bit busy, but I promise I will. Anyway, Started another Blog in tandem at another site to upload and share photos faster. Visit winnyston.multiply.com for my HK photos and my fav songs as well as clips. Will update that site with more updates soon. My blog can also be read there as they have an import function for me to use. Those who like the co nventional blog can still find it here as well :)

Hiong Gong, here i come!! (41 days to go)

2007-04-26T10:05:00.000+08:00

bwahaha, from the title you noe that i am going to the land where you can 买东西，吃东西，买东西，吃东西. lol yeah man.... lalala..... can't wait for June!!! yeah...think going for trips every June has become a highlight event for me... this will be my first time going to HK though, and i have not passed my Cantonese 1101 yet... :(

anyways, we manage to dig and dig and got a not bad lobang to go HK for 7 days. Air Tix + Lodgings only add to $578 per pax bwahaha. This is really cheap for peak period man haha.. (of course you would have guessed that my flight would have to be on jetstar for this to happen rite? well, we are gonna stay in hostel again... hehe so stay tuned to see my feedback on the hostel... will recommend it if it is gd...cos the rental is only $35 per head per night, and it is situated next to 女人街...:P)

well for this trip, going with qm, Cao and Nv Ren (best tour buddies), and degoon and gf, and qm's sis. looking forward to this as i haven't had a trip with degoon before. hehe, like to go with diff ppl every year so can have different experiences...

can imagine the dim sums calling out to me oredi.... "Eat me, eat me...I am a tasty siew mai.", "I am a delicious dan3 tat4" lol and of course Disneyland!! haha, shld go to HK one then next time go japan one then can compare.... me and qm are both looking forward to this!! haha just that we must bring our own food and drinks...heard they sell those at inhuman prices inside. XD haha but the most farni thing that comes to mind is, would the Mickey Mouse and Goofy mascots be speaking in cantonese? haha, that would really be very hilarious and funky. haha

And i also would like to see whether can buy back some nice VV dramas at cheap prices lol and mebbe can try to hunt for poster of Myolie!! haha think i am going crazy le...

Hope i will have time to post pictures and more update soon as well as after the trip.

P.S. Cao was suggesting we go Guangzhou also...told me we can go there call pros******..... -_-!!!

Driving is Fun!!

2007-04-26T09:47:00.000+08:00

Started my driving lessons at long last!! after all these years of enduring questions such as "Huh? You got no license meh?" and "Why you don't want to learn driving?", I have finally dragged my lazy butt down to CDC to sign up as a school learner. -_-!! If I had the money, who would not want to learn driving early? Some people just asks the silliest questions.... Taking school instead of private as that is my personal preference la. There are of course good and bad school and private teachers. My Daddy and Mummy also wants me to learn in school so i go lor.

Anyway, CDC is so near my house, and if i learn from school can go circuit to drive every time and no need to pay, so not bad la. :)

Had my first 4 lesson since last monday, and I must say that i had a lot of fun!! initially felt a bit weird sitting behind the wheel and controlling the car, as my whole life i have sat in the passenger seat happily enjoying the view and the air con lol. I must say now that having a clutch pedal really screws up the learning process man....after first 2 lessons, i realised if I learn auto, i can start learning parking and obstacle course after a few lessons in driving and stopping. For manual, learning to use the clutch effectively really takes up all the lesson time. if not for that, i don't need to pay so much for so many lessons le....

Anyway, even though I never asked for a fixed instructor, i've been getting this old chap who is a bit long-winded, but he is kinda nice. lemme go drive on main road once i applied my PDL (told me to go apply asap after first lesson so we can go out for spins, cos he seys staying in circuit is so super duper boring!! which is quite true...got bored after 2 lessons there)

So for my experience driving outside...it is cool!! and so much easier to drive..cos the lane big big, won't drive out one....haha then can use up to 4th gear man...haha but my instructor keep scolding me for going too fast....even got once i upped to 4th gear at a bend then got scolded by him big time....told me i was not supposed to do that until i got my license -_-!!! haha but i oredi floored the accelerator ma....dun up gear then engine very loud...oh well.. haha....after 3rd lesson, i start liking manual driving le....switch gear then fun la....more exciting... then can engine break and slow car bwahaha....think my left turning still not zai for some reason....my right turn since first day no prob...but my left turn always wide de.... I must improve!!

More updates on this when i drive more....hope i dun fail my final theory....CDC got so many people that my instructor told me now ppl taking August dates for driving test le.... :( like that my dream of getting my license b4 my ORD are shattered........ sobs.....stoopid leh.... why people all wanna pia driving now......mebbe should really have gone to BBDC to learn haha....everytime take 2 hours to go home lol

Long Weekend Fun Part II

2007-04-12T23:52:00.000+08:00

Well, went down to watch Jolin's Dancing Diva concert on Sat (7th April), held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Got the 130 tix for this concert.....initially wanted to buy tix off this chap who was selling it on MINDEF eForums, but he kept jacking up the price for no reason and it really irked me. He was selling the tix that faces the stage, but then they were only the 80 dollar one and he wanted to sell me at over 180 for a pair......must be thinking i was desperate to see jolin shake her booties......Crap, so i went ahead and bought tix from SISTIC instead....serve him rite if he was lying.. i was actually quite ready to pay him the original price or slightly more if he was trustworthy.....

Anyway, took Cao's car down to Lido area to pick up Jaamie after her yoga before setting our for dinner at Oasis (this restaurant place beside Indoor)...went for teochew/taiwan porridge there....while waiting for Cao to finish his geh seh getup rugged look in his denim jacket, we took more photos...of ourselves of course: (blurry again as usual)

was raining 猫和狗 that day man....had to leave home with my super duper Esso umbrella (the one with the tiger/leopard/cheetah whatever skin underneath)

Enuff digressing...back to the porridge, went there once before with Cao, Alan and Chuan, and their respective counterparts, but seriously, I dun remember much of it, but qm seems to remem that we got served by some old ladies, and the place was a bit darker...This time round.. the waiters/waitresses were young ppl in their 20s... and the place seemed renovated (I highly doubt that but haha whatever)....1 Thing haven't changd though....the food was STILL mediocre...they lose to 阿里山 hands down man....and 阿里山 is only 5 min walk from my house.....

Best thing that occurred before the concert was......Cao sported chanyx queueing up to enter too!! was utterly surprised by this, hope if she sees this she will explain herself... oh well....at least i did not see Marcus there...if not I will definitely think that i was having a nightmare...(joking) Chanyx seems to be watching the concert with 2 of her sisters...(i think it is la, oly recognise one as her sister....mebbe the other one is their fren......oh well :P )

Well anyway, think i shocked her with the revelation that Jolin had G cups. Her eyes went very round when i said that, then i reassured her that Taiwan ppl had a different standard of measuring bust size, compared to singapore... here C is unimaginable oredi... well i learnt how to convert from watching 我猜，我猜，我猜猜猜。吴宗宪 once said that H cups were useful as they can be rested on the table like 贡品. lol, so i guess this helps u visualise.... anyway chatted with chanyx for a while then had to enter to find my seat.....

...which happens to be at the side (really at the side.... we were really close to the stage but we were right at the edge.....had a wonderful side profile of Jolin the whole night :) and also the dancer's when they rushed on and off the stage...) think this photo of the stage where i am sitting shld give u the rough idea of how 'side' i was lol:

Decided to pay attention to the concert, so we did not take photos of jolin during the concert....only have photos of us (again) b4 concert started lol:
Well, only comment i had after the concert was that if 1 day Jolin lost her job as a singer, she can go become a contortionist... hehe she seems to enjoy stretching herself in impossible directions...OUCH.... scary sia...

She made a grand entrance at the start, rising up out of the grd with her legs in a 'split' position thru 2 hand rings (those type a gymnast use to perform the swing here swing there stunt) She was also in this nice glossy metallic blue dancing suit...skimpy as usual but not bad la....

She alternated between fast dancing songs and slow emotional songs (to rest), but i must applaud her, she was in very high heels the whole night, whether she was dancing or not... it's quite incerdible that she never twisted her ankle....bleah...i noe i noe u would sey, "her dancers also ma, what is so special?", but the fact is, some dances, the dancers were in sports shoes,to give the funky hip hop image, but poor jolin insisted on heels...(think she too short la) but hey, dancing in heels really very challenging leh, somemore her dance moves not all the dainty dainty type one somemore.

Hehe, noticed 1 thing abt the audience that night (we sat down early so got a lot of time to sit quietly and observe the crowd), realised a lot of mummies and daddies brought their kids (and i really mean pri sch kids) to watch Jolin....think this is what kids watch nowadaes....kinda weird, can u imagine bringing ur whole family to watch a concert tog when their average age is ard 10? lol...what's more is that....THEY WERE ALL HOLDING THE 170 DOLLAR TIX.....bleah, all of them went down and sat right in front......now u will really see the weirdness man, eg. man, wife plus his 3 kids = $850.....enuff to pay for a trip to batam le.....family fun nowadaes seem very diff from what i have come to expect...man...i am really getting old....haha ...it is also fun to see the small kids holding cylume sticks (i still remem the ARMY term for lightsticks!! yeah baby) and shaking them off beat to the music....really cute and therapeutic (or however u spell this word)

Anyway, i went into the concert with not much expectations so i came out quite enjoying the show, unlike chanyx, who tot 'it was alright only' haha, old woman le, last time she always full of energy. k la but i must agree with the tabloids that she was not very good at 带动气氛. She tried to make the crowd more interested but the response was all the way lukewarm at best, but then she lied with her eyes open by seying, "你们是我到过的地方最热情的观众。"..-_-!!!

Oh well, at least she never lost heart. Learnt a few technical taiwan terms which are the equivalent of our singlish terms. 人体海浪 = Kallang Wave. she made us do it over and over. haha like national day man...so patriotic...yet so farni. haha

Another thing is her ang mo really quite weird...She pronounced 'Sorry' as 'Soori', making it sound really french (even though i dun noe french...haha was thinking of soiree). and she could not pronounce this brand which no one could decipher...except QM!!! kudos to her man....she figured out that Jolin was trying to proounce.....'Salvatore Ferragamo'!!! diao.....she took like 5 seconds and she went like 'saaaa......ver.......tori........fur....阿咖摸.' sounds very mystifying to me until i was enlightened....

After the concert, we adjourned to Jaamie's house for our regular MJ.... and this time I got to play with her 85 year old granny!! professional man, and she stayed up the whole night to play with us.... and she was so much more alert than us... haha can count the tiles right after dice roll, and can shout 'pong' faster than a speeding bullet, ok faster than an old speeding bullet (joking), thoroughly enjoyed myself even though i think she really banned me that night lol. Jamie dun worry, i enjoyed her company!! Give her back the 30 dollar she paid me, when u see her again, k? don't wanna be branded as a con-artist who tricks old luvly grannies!!!

Best weekend in weeks!! Roars!!! haha

Long Weekend Fun

2007-04-11T23:56:00.000+08:00

It's been a really long while since there was anything remotely close to a 3 day break from work, so this Good Friday was really a 'good friday' to me!!

I stayed over so we took our time and slept and recharged before heading out to enjoy our friday!!. hehe, here is a picture of us on the bus:

One noticeable thing is that we looked very shack, but happy (luckily being happy is the most impt thing). We were heading out to shop shop walk walk, and just to relax. Heard about the a few shopping centres springing up all around the town area so we felt that we shld investigate and 'pak tor' a bit cos we haven't been doing that a lot recently.

After much deliberation, we decided to head to Central, the 'new' shopping place located at Clarke Quay, to go chup with the Ah Bengs and Ah Sengs. HAHA, feels so cute to see little boys acting beng. Those were the days.....

Central is a relatively medium-sized shopping mall, which is designed to make you feel that it is big! This is mainly done by building it really tall and and having farni corners incorporated into the whole set up. Quite clean and bright place. First stop: FOOD, as my poor gf is hopelessly hungry as she slept past lunch: *****Drumroll*****

Long John Silvers!! haha we have a perpetual craving for this now and then. If you don't like it, too bad.... We like it and that's all that's impt anyway. Central has a wide range of finger food (located in their basement) and many Jap restaurants (for some reason) and of course the ang mo food (Fish Market) for the rest of you food junkies. The most notable point abt the food joints is they are all located in 1 particular wing of the shopping mall. For the hell of me, I cannot understand why (until later on when it dawned on me....).

Anyways, I brought qm to do manicure, as promised, so she can look pretty and nice! We went to Nail Art Gallery (I think) and she took a package to do french manicure and pedicure. I sat thru the whole thing and found the whole process quite cool and funky!! haha, express manicure and pedicure they never massage you with funny smelling oil and cut ur cuticles (think it is spelt this way rite? wateva la). they also never wash ur feet with plain water with orchid on it.... (orchid seems to make the water more high class....think it is just tap water with some farni chemicals anyway).

A farni interlude to the whole process was when this female BRE student (JAMIE!!! DO I LOOK LIKE I OWN A MANICURE PARLOR?? kau i think she was from BRE becos....read on) and entered the shop with a clipboard file and asked, "Sir, do you all accept credit cards?".

I conveniently turned ard, and asked the lady servicing qm the same question and the ger was so paiseh.....(duh tot i shld be the one paiseh.....I look like I can give ppl gd maniures meh?!?!?! lol) Then when the shop assistant shook her head, the ger happily ticked sth on her board and left...........diao.... and i tot she wanted to do a manicure and pay with her "VISA". She doing some market research on shops in Central, which makes her a prime suspect as a major in BRE... oh well....

Thinking back I should have like told her "Yes Dear, we also accept traveller's cheque." *Bleah* Don't noe shld cry or laugh.....

Anyway I realised I don't have a picture of my Darling's nails.... but they were pretty well done. Think the lady who did the manicure is quite pro!!

After that disastrously unfunny and uncool mistake identity episode, we went to grab more food. There is this British food joint (prob fake but nm) in the basement which sells nice finger food...forgot the name....but they sell nice spicy cheesy chicken (looks a bit like KFC popcorn chicken but comes with nice spicy chilli powder on it and a cheedar cheese dip!!! perfect combi)

Also discovered 2 very VERY unexpected shops there. 1 sells imported Japanese tidbits, and other foodstuff (quite common in singapore) and the other sells imported TAIWAN Snacks!!! at affordable prices somemore. ZJ!! got ur fav 太陽餅. Cool Sia! Then the foodstuffs are split by regions of Taiwan, into Hualien, Taipei, Tai Zhong, Gao Shiung. They have the fantastic tasting Mua Chee of Hualien, and 鐵蛋. so fantastic man.... see oredi drool liao, some more got 特產 of the other areas, where i haven't been :(

Must go see when u people have the time. We decided to walk outside and eat our cheesy chicken. Walking out to the Singapore river, we realised that the shopping cetre fronts the stretch of Clarke Quay bars.... and that other side has been totally revamped....think I am out of touch with this place. Looking up, I realised the ans to my earlier question. All the shops which fronts the river and gives you a fantastic view of clarke quay night areas..............are restaurant....from coffee club to the main food restaurants like Fish Market........ no wonder all cluster at that wing la.... They even have balcony sitting areas....this is definitely 1 gd spot to hold gathering...nice and pretty. Took some shots of the 'new Clarke Quay': (photo is a bit blurry due to my sucky photo skills)

Sat and ate with qm as we look over at the highly expensive (& dangerous) bungy thingi... looks really freaky and scary man.... Think you will never catch me on that haha, but quite enjoyable to be sitting down to chicken and nice green milk tea (also from the taiwan shop) and watching ppl regret why they gave them the stoopid idea to pay $50 to sit on that contraption lol. Took another blurry photo but think that it is beyond recongition haha:

After the meal, took a walk down to Brewerkz (never got the spelling right for some reason lol) to show qm where i was hanging out the night b4 with Joy and SHY, drinking free beer. As i walked towards the place, I realised that my office took a picture there 1+ years back with riverside point as the backing. Have been wondering where that place in the photo was....At least now I know...

We were lucky as we managed to spot the flying 'kites' i saw the day before. Being the resident 山龟, I have never seen kites with flashing LEDs, and no strings attached (pun intended)... haha. They seem to be some remote control gadget that were very sensitive to the controls.... The guys there did many stunts with their 'kites' and it was quite fantastic!! wished i owned 1 like them. Looking down at the grass patch, i saw blinking lights flashing on the grd too.... Pondering i think the 'kites' are EM gadgets...hehe, but then, that is in the realm of oh so scary EE, so i shall just leave it at that...no pictures for this.... was too mystified to take (forgot to take la)

Walking further into Clarke Quay, we found a mini, mini Cooper exhibition ... haha quite cute and exquisite! :

Took a photo with this Cooper also, but did not turn out well, so won't put here :P

Anyways, wanted to bring qm walk to Butter Factory, but realised that it is a really long walk, so bring her see MOS only haha, still as jammed as ever. Wanted to show her Butter as I've been there quite a few times recently :)

That very much conclude the day....Stayed tuned for the next day...when i am not so tired.... going to bed...will add to this post when i can.....look out for my Saturday (7th Apr) entry soon.... Jolin Dancing Diva Concert.... :P

Life in MINDEF CIO Office

2007-04-03T01:09:00.000+08:00

Well, I started my work as a Grade '-3' staff in MCIOO 7 mths ago. At first, I was quite worried that I won't be able to fit into my office, and won't be able to get along with my fellow colleagues, but 7 mtha down the road, i find that i am getting along just fine! :) Our office might be small, but it sure is cozy, and we do not lack funky activities mixed in with work. AS my boss Cheok might say, we must get our priorities right! Nothing is more impt than badminton!!

Many have asked me what exactly do I do when i go to work? Well, my job scope is vretu9we8ycew nyryhrweihuri wurbyqwyrq iwhrbInryrn32yr2 3bruhd uhrwhur ucqrhurburyub ryuqwrg gbwergrg werewyrwey rwru39 8rr09r. Hope that clears up the air. :P (Words have been scrambled to prevent myself from being invited to have coffee with anyone from MSD.)

These WERE my colleagues last year (in the past tense as many have left the office thus):

As you can see, being forever the Extra, I wore something 'outstanding' so that I will stand out among the old Folkies. This photo was taken outside Tao's Restaurant, after our visit to the National Museum :)

We will also go to hotel restaurants for dinners, when we are celebrating NSF's farewell, other the farewell of our pioneer colleagues (pioneer int he sense that my office is only ard 4 years old, some of my colleagues were with the office from Day 1, back in the days when my office only had 7 staff and no NSFs!! We had come a long way since then). This one is taken at Furama, at the farewell of a fellow NSF and my Deputy Director:

and of course there are the house warmings (to the newly weds house - Joseph, and those married for donkey years - Steve) They are got nice houses which are just so designed in that special way. This was taken at Joseph's house:

And this was taken at Steve's house:

and of course the times when they go drinking without ME!!!! So saddenising, but old well. A picture taken from 'Little Bali', without me inside of course:

Me and My Wife

2007-04-02T22:33:00.000+08:00

Well, decided to do a post about me and my paranoid yet cute little Lao Po!!! Due to the recent spate of events, she seems to think that I grew more yan dao (as if that was possible), [this is when i insert a photo to make myself feel gd]:

Haha, not yan dao at all, yet this silly ger I met actually fell in love with me (lucky me), well i can only begin to describe my joy in sharing my life with her. To tell the truth, for a happy-go-lucky person, she brought true joy into my life, so i can really be at peace with the world, and keep my optimism. This is the ger that gives me ever-lasting energy, to become a DURACELL Battery!! Nothing in life is too difficult with her around. My Wife:

To reward her for praising me (yayayayay!!!) I should do a post of her and me!!! 小夫妻，我的福气，这一辈子让我爱上了你。:) This is dedicated to my wife! For you my dear!! No matter where we are, how we look, we are just so happy together:

But comparing this photo and the previous one, I realised that i actually was eligible to be Santa Claus last year....so scary man....push me a little and I will roll down the hill liao. I do enjoy taking photos with my dar dar, and over the years, we have taken so many nice photos, :) :

The picture below shows our 订情信物, our second pair of rings :->, with our names engraved nicely, though I do feel that CoupleLab did quite a shabby job on them. Nonetheless, I like them all the same:

A very VERY Hot Saturday...

2006-12-18T11:10:00.000+08:00

Did something which is very unlike me on saturday morning....I went down to sentosa to play a bit of beach volley with cao...joined his gang of colleagues (by a bit i really mean a bit. As my skills are unparallely lousy, it is hard for me to touch the ball much without screwing up...so really touch a bit of ball only ma)

Anyways, i was quite satisfied with my performance, as i managed to stay alive and not fall dead for like close to 2 hours in that really burning hot sun (for those pervs who thot otherwise on my meaning of hot....yah too bad this is what i meant and shame u ppl for reading this entry just becos u think there is some porno content in my blog lol) yah la so manage to sustain a sport for more than 15 min, and that is a feat i havent done before sia....except badminton la but then that game i never play under sun b4 oso...

well, to explain to ppl once and for all, i did not go there to bio2 bikini babes, whether anot there were babes in swimwear, dinosaurs in bikini or babes in bikini...anyway, under that crazy sun, no one can even see anything but heat waves lor...haha...k la i was too engrossed int he game seriously...it was quite a lot of fun and i def will be going back there again if possible.... P.S. I did see a lot of hunks that day, so gers whatcha waiting for?

i was also quite sway that morning....as when i was abt to disembark (i think alight is a better word but who cares hehe) from the bus....i broke my slipper.... the top part where there is usually a cloth/string/material to join to the slipper - the part where u giap with ur big toe and sec toe, broke off so i got no slipper to walk on.....then have to semi limp and walk all the way to 7 11 to buy a new pair man....waste money and my time....My OP slipper was anti slip...then this new pair will prob kill me in the next few days......crap...

and sentosa has gone thru a great revamp man, it is definitely worth visiting esp for KKN as we been there in 1999 rite and that is when we made the cool pact, now even sentosa look like it is ready for the IR to come... visited the various (both old and new) resorts there and found them to my liking! quite satisfied with myself! :) KKN go check ur email for accomodation updates!

and my day ended with a nice game of MJ.....

The A-Z of Winny's Life

2006-12-12T13:54:00.000+08:00

First and foremost forgive the bad fonts this time round....i will change them once i reach home and finds some spare time to meddle around with my settings..

Anyways back to my post! :P

Recently someone says that my blog is boring and not nice to read, so being very heartbroken, i have decided to continue writing in the very boring and uninteresting and uncaptivating way i have been writing.

hee hee i def not going to compare to xiaxue in terms of writing interesting blogs haha. And i also must not say too many incorrect things online anyway....(not that i have any bwahaha)

Been sort of reminiscing (or wateva way u smart alecs who are so gonna correct me spelling thinks it is spelt, u understood what i meant so there) of the past, and thinking of all the intelligent things (seems so at that time) that i have done and laugh at them....as my msn nick suggests, i miss the company of many frens who i have neglected to contact or have simply lost connection with (haha sort of cannot click that well anymore)

apologies to all the dearest people for not entering ur life and messing it up regularly (tops of the chart being yx...but then now she has a yan dao boi boi no need me around rite? hee hee)will continue to endeavour to ign....find chances to meet up with u all once i find time to pack my room....[hmmm i seem to have juxtaposed 2 completely unrelated issues rite? actually i hate packing my room so if i eventually find time for that, i have time for u fren! joking la of course!]

anyways, i am quite thankfuk that i made a lot of frens and met a lot of people on my life journey to discover myself [wow now i sound so like a *********] and thinking back i think i can pen down a few thots abt the people who has entered my life at 1 point or another, 1 way or another, some how or rather, with or without my order....(yay it rhymes!!)

A

Aditya Godbole

Dun think you will ever read this unless Raj tells you online or something. always liked your sharp nose (a distinctive trait of your race) and your skin tone, cos you are from South India (right?), i cannot remember for sure and i miss your frenly demeanour. Big in built but runs faster than ever in 2.4 runs (nobody loses to me anyway....i am like the benchmark people use to measure losers for running, so i shall conveniently attribute this to my genes, which also gave me sparse hair and really small slitty eyes btw.) Didn't see u at the last meetup so sort of wondering where u went after ur uni...(think i am probably the only one in class who dun noe where u went...argh...

Alan

When are YOU coming back?!?!?! wah seh, you r one of the folkies who i haven't seen around in a while man....i also wanna go silicon valley....boohoo....yo really miss u pal, ur undying luv for marathons, and of course a dear MJ kaki man....think i will not get a chance to meet up with u and chuan tog anymore... but then that is the way things get when we grow up....
P.S. come back flaunt ur 6 packs leh, i need some motivation here. haha found this gay photo of ours: lol

Think this gay streak in him is present in all photos i take with him, even though photo got other chio bu to grab, he grab my shoulder :(...dug out this Sirius photo!! gogogo, miss the times with u ppl, even though i not part of the gang lol :Note HIS HAND!!! argh....so gay.....so alan.....eh wait, he seems to be holding Vannel's hand....haha he wants the best of both cakes sia (Disclaimer: Vannel and him not related in anyway...he just taking advantage of her here....hum sup lo lol) k la he is my bro man....gogogo!! take good care of yourself!

Alinda

the chief clerk of sorts in my office...nice chio chio lady who takes gd care of me and the other young 'xiao di di' in the office (saying this makes me feel younger, even though she is only 2-3 years my elder haha) perpetually thinking of food...but no matter how many packets of char kway tiow she eat, she still have a nice slender figure....(makes me jealous of her everytime she walks past my desk lol...(diao did i just sound like a ger? being envious of another ger -_-!!) and she likes her dog too. And This stoopid groomer caused her dog's untimely demise.....This angered quite a few ppl in my office, including me. So folks, if you really have to bring your pet to grooming, make sure you take great care to stay with your pet at all times. Nicky is so poor thing....sigh.... Anyway, I want to take this opportunity to thank Alinda for taking good care of' 'my boys'... as she puts it.... and she is only 2 years my senior.... grrr... did i just disclose your age by accident....Luckily, she is oredi happily married away... bwahaha

Audrey

Can see the strain in your eyes last sat when we were playing settlers. hang in there ger, your job is tough but i do hope it is rewarding. not any tom, dick or harry (jane, mary or susan) can do this man. go go go. at most quit lor and zun can take care of you hehe....he shld be more than qualified now with his pay keke. Here she is below, in blue: (udn have a lone photo of her so i have to choose another photo with alan inside once again lol)

B

WOW....there does not seem to be anyone who fit into this category...unless i write about gd old beng teck....haha better not... Oh well... I can still post a picture of him and his lovely wife and hope he is too busy looking at his stocks to randomly surf the net and come upon this blog lol... Learnt a lot from him even though i have only been under him for around 7 mths.... :P

C

Cao

will put him here as after he came back from Canada, he likes to introduce himself by this name, with a super duper act cool farni accent that is neither here nor there. definitely one of my closest frens now, as we meet up every weekend for MJ haha (without MJ life is quite boring man)knew this chap from sec 1 and he has changed a lot since then man...ever the outcast in my sec school for having the weirdest dress sense, he has grown into a real man haha with very gd dress sense...has a ultimate liking for white...white sneakers, white shirts....white dog.... i also sense the selfish boi of old grow into a more bo chup man now... still remem how u use to lie to me and jiao abt stuff when we go to ur house and play PS and com last time. The most farni thing is we could get into your house even when no one is ard, or when ur maid was alone at home. haha When we wanna borrow books, and comics you would always not lend us by cooking up some excuse, and when we found out u would just think up another lie to cover up..haha those were the days...We have come a long way liao....hope we can do another trip tog soon...really missed our virgo and taiwan trips tog!! Haha, Here is a really gay pic we took when we were on 阳明山:

makes you wonder why I am so bo liao to indulge in such a dumb photo with cao rite...... sigh should be acting seh and stuff. Here is another one where we tried to rectify the situation. bleah :P

and of course a solo shot of him when we went to the 貓空 tea plantation in 木柵:

Chanyx

Yes...time to write abt this lil sis of mine b4 the grudge she bears abt me explodes... lol yah i noe i noe this entry took a long time to come....but oh well.... you are also busy with work and happily in luv to have time to read my crap right?? (this is written in strong faith that she never again reads my blog....or at least this 'old' entry hehe)

well so what should i say... knew this ger back from my JC days, as we were the really really small minority that joined 华会. haha joining this ECA in an ang mo JC = chum....no budget, no recognition...no members...bleah.... still remem that we both ran for the committee tog during elections...but the most ironic thing is, we never talked to each other....think that time i was still a nice and shy guy (not saying that i am not a nice and shy guy now OF COURSE!) and we only started having heart to heart talk after the elections becos of a misunderstanding...which i will not mention here.... haha

Anyway, this is one chirpy ger who always laugh in that distinctive way of hers, have a fierce (looking) dad, who speaks monosyllabic words, a mum who thinks that i talk too much for my own gd (and that gers shld never consider me as a husband...cos i talk too much -_-!!) she is really gd fren that i had (though we drifted apart over the years due to various reasons...mostly my fault la :P ) seen her through her short hair times....long hair times...fat times and slim times (luckily for her now is her slim time) definitely will be catching u sometime soon and catch up...hopefully this will not turn up to be an empty promise again :) heard that you been to Butter Factory b4....hehe u like that place?

Costin

no nickname for u here cos i think ur name looka like a nickname oredi....diao costin...when people pronounce this they will like think of costin powers, or some trigo ratios liao. Funky name nontheless, even if it does sound a bit spastic at times. but then say this i do remem ur chinese name sounds like it got cropped from a chinese poem as well Muahaha.. Miss the days when i stayed over for like 1-2 weeks and we cheong diablo tog.....that was like the only time we did it....after that it seems like gers were more of an attraction to u leh boi boi....miss your dad and mum too, with their so very correct pronounciation and articulation... and i want a ride in ur ALTIS....can we arrange it like soon? i want ot have one for my Bdae too lol... and do take care of your sweet darling oso hor dun bully her ok? k if u ever read this call me and we cna meet up keke

D

Dn

first impression of u is that u r reeally very scrawny leh,i see you i oso worried u get blown away by the wind... Never really got to take rides home with u before last time even though u stay just across the bridge from me, and also did not noe that u were such a hardcore gamer till after u got tog with wm. Haha so go go ger, you r great! not all gers appreciate gaming. After our Taiwan trip, i also came to realise that u hate SPIDERS... was quite shocked initially, but then i got to sleep in the big room so thanx!

E

Edrick

Yo Law student, by the time u read this should be graduating liao but chances r u wont haha. never see u at gatherings recently so dun noe how u doing and i still think u have very gd skin...haha still got get harassed by other guys lol....i also vaguely recall that i owe u $10 so i am hoping u will never read this...

Elly

My ex-hairdresser, who i very much liked but she quitted halfway and i dun noe where she went....arghhhh....sian diao so now i am stuck with even lesser hair and no stylist...went to try another stylist and i got another Ally, but her name starts with 'A', haha so farni. hope i find you soon.

F

G

Grr
realised i have been very out of touch with some 4K ppl when cao told me that you r a MAS scholar that day then i realised....after all these years haha oh well, i never got along that well with u rite? but when u marry must invite me hor, heard it is an upcoming event so when that happens do tell so i can block book my calendar just for u hehe. remem u as the chap who calls me at weird hours and asks me to identify chinese songs 1) by humming the song (badly) to me 2) telling me 1 or 2 lyrics (note: really 1 or 2 lor, his chinese is as poor as his eng is gd....u might even be reading his letters to the forum now on ur ST rofl) of the song 3) or by describing the sex of the singer to me: e.g. "the singer is a male...then song title and lyrics dun noe...tune forget liao...u noe the song"...this disturbances in my otherwise mundane life makes me remem him haha

H

I

Iris
Hope u are doing well too!! May you stay happy always!

J

Jaa-mie

haha i luv to call u in this way nv ren i hope u dun mind that. i'm sure u dun. sounds more funky and nice. if not for cao we won't be so shu with each other liao...every week MJ till the wee hours of the morn. got to know u initially as the ger who cao dropped during some station games at the camp which i was supposed to go for but got rejected by e***...argh really think back i oso a bit sian diao now...never catch cao in action sia.. and missed befriending alan then could have chilled out with chuan, u, alan and cao. then when we played mj tog the first few times and i see cao give u card i very amused...still very amused even though we lost money (me and poor alan). A very different ger that I will always value....as a MJ kaki... the four of us (cao, you me and qm really can click well. here's to our HK trip in JUNE!!!!). A picture of the 4 of us buddies:

Janzer

Haha mebbe by posting ur name here i have oredi raised by publicity level. mebbe ppl will pm me and ask me r u the real janzer from warcraft and the pool expert yah and the ans is yes to both... this is the legendary janzer who is famous in the lan gaming arena.. and yah la ur japanese cheh me hands down man....i oso wanna be as gd...how can ppl mistake u for a native japanese....sigh to think that i used to be around ur standard when we taking our first few lessons...think i have let my luv of this language die out liao, but i would try to pick up once again!! Boku wa Dekiro! (I hope this is correct lol) anyway, sometimes learn to not take life so seriously pal, as that is ur strong pt as well as ur weakness. Also am well known to have a gd network with the gers. Famous quote from ME : "if you wanna know the ger, ask ja***) - letters have been omitted here to protect his true identity... hhaha with great powers comes great responsibility or so they sey..well, always the one who can break into a new crowd of gers, def a guy to have around when u go meet new people, ESP japanese gers :P

JJ

nope i do not know the funky singer who does nice beatbox and who is also our tourist mascot/figure or sth... haha but yay found a triple R package person 6-7 years younger than me. nice chap with cheem ang mo in my office now, who is constantly on the lookout for sugar daddies and sugar mummies who should drive a lambo and mebbe has enuff money for him to swim in. and i wanna sit in ur volvo someday dude! and i really am very shocked by ur foot k.. makes me realise how unordinary mine are. take gd care dude..know u always talk abt getting some artificial limb but i think real ones are the best..hope ur problem sorts itself out in the future. oh did i fail to mention he is cute looking too? haha....take a look yourself...

Joycelyn

My ex-colleague, who had moved on to greener patches out there. lol Quite a trend setter as more of my colleagues picked up the courage to leave and venture out to the private sector after she left..... Almost half of my original colleagues are leaving/had left after her :( First impression of this ger is that she is one hell of a dao kia, always walking around with her loud flip flops, and blatantly ignoring your very existence (now that i know her better, i know it is because most of us TALLER people are not in her line of sight lol) Being an 'I' in the MBTI explains why she took like 5-7 mths to warm up to us NSFs...other than to yuna, and just when all of us are starting to get along, she leaves. haha, that is life! Other admirable traits include an insatiable thirst.....(for knowledge? nah..) for booze....(like German beer), and a very scary tolerance level of alcohol....i don't think i can out-drink her.....haha... well but her 猜拳 skills require some polishing. And I would like to express my extreme dislike and scorn for your CLOWN dress here haha neh neh ni boo boo. Best if luck to your exams in May!! 山穷水尽疑无路，柳暗花明又一村！ yah....and did I mention that she was a poser? haha......scroll down for proof:

JW

xiaowenzi is one of the ppl who i got close to towards the end of my uni life man thanx to PGP sia....i remem him as the cockster who apply for hall late so in the end me and zj got our rooms at the same time and he did not.....in the end he finally got a room 2 weeks into semester and got the top floor room which os both windy and cool.....tmd.....so moral of the story is early birds might not be winners, but jw will always be hahaha. My fellow D2 buddy and now u also playing HOMM5, no doubt very fast considering th eamt of leave u have and the sleepiness i see in u everyday. lol sian sia...fastest guy i noe in my grp of fren to complete FF XII, and thanx for telling me the werewolf power lvl thingi. nice chap to have ard at all times who is easy going and the only real time i see him really pissed off is on 151...i some how recalled zj and tf getting on his nerves, which was an achievement in itself haha. Hope can go on a trip with u again soon as i noe u did not enjoy much during our recent taiwan trip...due to unforeseen circumstances... recover soon dude and i do wanna jio u play MTG again...a bit gian. haha or MJ oso can. Being ur roomamate during our china trip was gd for me as i always gets exclusive rights to use the bathroom in the evenings and u sleep so much and easily i do not disturb u much hehe. plus u do not tell me to switch the TV to silent mode when u r sleeping....miss those times when we eat ice cream in kun ming and got our tongues stuck on the ice cream and of course ur fav phrase which i picked up: "condemned la". Yeah man:

K

Ks or Kaiser

This is my god bro who my family unofficially adopted years back, dun noe JC or sec sch days man. always starve himself when we r younger to buy things like PS and MTG so end up being very scrawny and not so tall (at least that is what i feel happen to him).... but that did not stop him from getting his very chio ger man gogogo bro.. (i hope this does not get u into any trouble cos i am assuming ppl who noe u and u urself dun read this) anyway, even though we got to know each other becos u started to trail me in pri sch due to some liquid paper in fish tank incident (for more on this can ask me abt it when u see me ppl, it is a long story), we got along well and we still do and we can just go on and on abt games like D2 and books like belgariad...always admired the way u can save money from nth. somehow i never managed to pick up even 1 level of this skill...sigh i am such a money waster... anyways, you were always very quiet and shy last time so was a bit shocked to hear u heading a dance subclub of CACS, 1 guy heading all the chio bus. gogogo bro and we shld go on a trip tog cos i never been anywhere with u yet and i think it will be fun. do give me an sms if u read this haha which means i am so gonna die :P

L

Lian

My section mate when i was in army 4 years ago. Short but stocky, this chap looks like body building takes up most of his time. Lost contact with him after i came out but i think one of these days i shld arrange a meetup man. Miss these dudes....i think i still has his number though...

Liangte (or Ryan lol)

Yet another one of my MJ kakis but i met this guy in the army way back in 2001. Sort of started off on the wrong foot with him then there after, always kena 'dio' with him during our training and subsequent courses (heng1 heng1 we kena posted to same unit same section, so u can imagine me on a boat and it is fast sinking. to perpetually 'dio' with someone is very tiring and bo liao but oh well that is all in the past....unless he still hates me! lol)anyways, as the saying goes, "There is no overnight feud with MJ..." so we finally buried the hatchet after a game of MJ or 2, probably under all the tiles keke. so now we do get together once every few weekends to dry swim, and to lian2 luo4 gan3 qing2 lol. Anyway this guy has a shop that sells car accessories for mainly japanese cars (unless i remem wrongly) so if u folks need to buy, can ask me lor i recommend him to u.

Panyc

time to write abt this old fren of mine...haha and he will very likely read this... this pal and I go way back...to the fateful time of year 1995...and the story goes that in the year 1995 and 1996, along the corridors of RI, I would meet this frenly and shy guy who will always smile at me when i catch his eye. (I will smile also la...sometimes I smile first keke) He was the only chap who would smile to me even though we dun really 'officially' know each other... haha and this carried on until in 1997, we finally became classmates! haha. from then on, our friendship blossomed...haha started from the teenager days of taking the same bus home tog.... going out on weekends to catch french movies (i still vaguely remem the filipino film we watch during the french film fest....it was ok for the first 1 hour then it became a porn flick for the rest....totally farni film man)

Miss the times when you drive me around in ur nice continental car to eat supper, chill out... now that you are in the U.S., seldom have time to chat with u face to face man... come back soon k, haha every man must come back to his roots eventually. eagerly the next time you are back so we can eat fried hokkien prawn mee. take care dude!!

And next time you are back, dun molest me anymore!!! no flicking of nipples allowed :P

Long Time No Post!!

2006-12-11T13:50:00.000+08:00

Wow....haven't had a moment to type an entry since the [previosu death note posts.....Yes, i know i know, have received commmemts from both panyc and zj to post more to tell people how i am, but oh well, never really got right down to it. heh heh

Anyway, first things first, i have a friend who recently set up her own blog to display some of the stuff she made herself and they are for SALE!!! She makes lovely trinkets which would go well with your stylish clothes and accessories that will add somen glamour to your HP. So do feel free to visit her beautifully done up blog: http://tanoshibaisimu.blogspot.com/

Haven't been in the best of health recently as well, and i think i have a very serious nose irritation today, so when i am in the office, i cannot breathe thru my nose at all so that SUX!!!!! and i have duty thru the night tonight...hopefully i survive if not i would have to go on MC.....bleah... (was hoping that i would lose some weight thru this ordeal. Sigh...in the end my weight never change!!)

Would like to thank those who visit(ed)my blog regular [use of past tense here as i noe they check here till they sian diao liao and stopped checking cos i stopped updating for like months lol, and i will try my best to keep my blog posted so lonely souls like panyc wont die of boredom from the lack of 'objects of interest' where he is now lol.

I also decided to become more useful and less useless (by doing more constructive stuff and try not to while my time away playing games and stuff. I can do it!!! gogogo.

DeathNote pic as promised

2006-10-09T19:44:00.000+08:00

Yay i finally found my error in uploading my pictures so here are my pictures on my collection of deathnote. They are in spuer mint condition (i hope they still are, as comics tend to turn yellow and stuff from just staying in the cupboard and pretending to be neat and nice). Looking back now i was quite sad when the series ended so early. But i still luv this collection best. Here they are, the whole set of Deathnote:

This series appealed to me as i can relate very well to the characters portrayed in it. They are all very real, and they do what they believed is right, till the very end of their lives. Looking at the movie poster these few days, I am once again pissed with the fact that the bad guy is actually quite cute (y? WHY?!?!?), bleah.....but it is as portrayed, the bad guy, Light Yagami （夜神月）, is a good looking guy with everything he could have....money and intellect and the looks to charm gers, yet his character is flawed....he believed that the world can be perfect....free from all evils, under his careful supervision (diao....power corrupts...esp with his super inflated ego), cos humans are too stoopid to govern themselves...being a perfectionist, that was his initial aim....create the perfect world (haha then i would be out of a job liao as got no need to defend country)...but he fell deeper and deeper into the abyss, and ended up doing all the evil stuff he wanted to eradicate to cover up....sigh.....never be too intelligent like i always sey.... met a few people like that....under the impression that they r always rite....and never really takes people's comments/feedback seriously, unless they oredi have reason to be impressed by the person.....i myself am like that at times.....haha no one is perfect ba.... but like i sed the characters reflect each and everyone of us

In the picture u can see the other lead in the movie, Yagami's nemesis, 'L', a cool 1 letter name for a weird looking guy who sucks thumb and have very deep eyebags.....not the ultimate Dean's list/nobel prize winner u would expect......

L is portrayed as an inward looking guy who can see the crux of matters, sensitive to minute details, and the psychology of criminals or psychos (which means he is a bit mad and bad too to understand them haha) ......he plays with sugar cubes and Lego everytime and toy cars and train (to show his nonchalancy la - jokingla....) when thinking, showing his clear intellectual powers (think i read somewhere that all very smart/crazy ppl do that a lot) ..... appearances wise, well all i can sey is he looks like he haven't slept a single time since he was born......

....and he probably has a hunchback cos he squats all the time....even on his seat (kind alike a frog with deep eyebags) anyways.....he is a sort of freelance detective, who works at capturing all the tough criminals to crack......his belief is that 祁拉 (the nickname the evil guy use to scare ppl) is evil and no matter what he sey to explain himself, he is still evil...the baddie guy...the ultimate pest....and so on haha....the irony of L's situation is that being an upholder of justice, he believed in a balance between good and evil....no one shld play god and try to eliminate an element...that in itself is evil incarnate....a world created from fear canot last, so Yagami can never be the tuyre winner.

These 2 people are really unique....and allows me to draw the inference that there will be a Deathnote II movie coming up....unless of course the tix for 1 did not sell at all la.....cos they are not portrayed in the movie..... The guy is my personal favourite...... All i should sey is the guy is N (Near) and the ger is M (Mello)..... if i sey anymore stoopid zj would sey i spoiler again cos being the slow guy we have come to know and luv, he probably havent reached this part of his comic.....(even though he has the whole series......waste money buy then dun read and lend frens and chio bus? lol) Let's just sey that u can guess their roles by looking at their names....

If a Deathnote II movies come out i would really like to see who will act as these 2......(hope i can really see it)

Last but not least is the cover which is my personal favourite.....the last book..... :

Notice how L, M and N stand together, with Yagami at the top, looking so almighty....very nice portrait of all their characters if u look close enuff......squatting L etc... the white background is also very nice....and might signify..... :)

DeathNote Fans Rejoice

2006-10-01T23:09:00.000+08:00

Haven't had a single chance to sit right down and write a decent post after i decided to start this blog. haha, been busy with other stuff, work, and getting enough workout haha.

Well, recently on my MRT trips to work, i saw a poster which captured my interest..... haha it was actually a poster on 1 of my favourite mangas...... DeathNote, until i took a look closer.... OMG the characters depicted in the pictures are real people, and not just hand-drawn portraits like those in the comics... this meant that there was a movie on it upcoming

Scanning the bottom of the poster i realised that the show is coming mid this month...
Oct 19th
bwahaha, wouldn't miss this for anything...

Looking back up at the 2 main leads, i do think they look very cute....(kinda makes me wanna steal the posters hiakhiak) L looks just like in the comics, having an aura of mystery and deep eyebags... and he bites his thumb, very good inpersonation, and Light Yagami looks really cool and handsome, in the japanese sort of way. =P [It's a japanese show in japanese for those who were wondering....uber then, in english ah? duh....]

This past weekend, the thriller has even gone onto the funny TVs you watch when waiting for the MRT to come, haha a good deviation from those in certain lines which shows 1) how not to run for the train with your wife and son when the train doors are beeping and flashing those supposedly scary orange lights above the doors,2) how to evacuate when the train breaks down (cos no one is driving the train, Ooopss...then ppl will know what line i tok...)

anyway, saw one of these thrillers as well as some of the ones i found in YouTube....and found out the show is quite well done and definitely would be worth my $9.50, if i had to catch it on a weekend. haha too bad Misa Amane is not as chio as i thot she might have been..

Looking through my DeathNote collection, i sort of feel some emptiness knowing that the series has ended.... The covers are all so nice and pretty : haha but current i cannot post pics dun noe why will try it soon again...

Testing 1....2.....3......

This is a trial post and if it in anyway resembles anything you have seen and heard today, it is not coincidental..... This just means that you met me today, and you are probably my fren, trying to find out why in the world did I start a blog for.

Well, i finally settled down in my office and feel more at home, with both the surroundings and my colleagues, and i am finally busy!!! Time flies for me now - the 9 hours seems to last only 1...
Think i dun really like to laze around and grow fatter than i oredi am. keke

Being Wedesday, today was our office's Life Day, during which 'some' of us (it's compulsory for me) does some exercise or sports. Being relatively new, I haven't got the chance to show off my lousy badminton skills, or poor swimming strokes, so i get to do some jogging with my boss and other fellow ***s. (this word is blanco-ded to protect the innocent aka. me in case i sey something here which i am not supposed to.... so now no one will noe that they are nsfs just like me *victory sign*)

Well, i seldom get to be proud of things i do but i am relatively proud of my jogging. (Yeah man!) Whenever i run along the main roads, I somehow manage to run slower than the passers-by strolling about. Comparing with others, i realised that not many people are like me, a i possess this special skill :P

Anyway, I really do want to shed some weight (not by cutting off an arm, as i have always dreamt of doing) so I will be leading a healthier lifestyle (I hope) form today onwards. This marks the point in my life, where people starts laughing and side-betting whether it is 2 days or 2 weeks before i give up hehe

Was looking thru some photos and decided to post a few here to make the page look better, so here goes:
