had a really fun v-day!!!

was restless the entire day during lessons in school. supposed to study in library then go for the swinging singles' party at jianhong's house.

ended up going to orchard with ah ngoh. the fun started when we got a lift from violet. thanks violet! her aunty's van is really cool! jasper n i sat at the back where there were so many cushions and soft toys enough to make the back of the van so comfortable. i wouldn't mind getting such a comfortable van in place of any high class automobile. the only prob was i got a little woozy and motion sick from all the turning and bumping as violet got lost getting to orchard! someone get her a gprs for her birthday!

anyway, great retail therapy for lonely boys without dates on v-day! was supposed to just accompany him to shop for shoes, but we ended up buying 3 shirts each! went to john little to find the pink valentino shirt yau hong was wearing today. saw that the shirts were so cheap that we spent hours trying on every shirt we saw. in the end, i settled on a green valentino and green stripey shirt while jas chose a blue valentino and a green tee. hahaha.. then we went on lamenting about us not having dates and that love was all around us. couples, roses and hearts were the theme for the day. they were infesting orchard!!! someone shld ban all of them from orchard.

being sour grapes and envious, we had to resort to flirting with 2 girls at heeren and got our complimentary heart-shaped red n pink balloons. who says 2 guys couldn't walk around with pink n red heart balloons hovering over our heads? hahaha... think everyone thought we were gay! then it was at heeren where we continued our shopping. bodyknits was on sale! n everything was pasar malam cheap. 50 n 70 % off selected items. so a t-shirt cost like less than 15 bucks. where could u find such prices? so we entered the fitting room 5 times, trying on almost every nice shirt! s, m, l, xl. red, blue, brown, black. we tried everything! the poor salesgirl must be wondering why she had to fold endless number of shirts on v-day. hahaha...

after that, rushed down to the airport to send gen off to her vet studies in australia. gave her a red heart balloon, took photos and charmed lil eurasian kids with my heart shaped balloons. so i ended up going home with no heart balloons... sigh.. anyway, at least i made a few children happy!

the highlight for the day was celebrating toh han's birthday in conjunction with the singles' party. taped her mouth up with duct tape to enjoy a wonderful period of silence, then blindfolded her as we led her to her birthday surprise. happy birthday toh han! n splash, she fell into the swimming pool. we couldn't let her off so easily right? so han boon smashed cake into her face! hahaha... well the suffering was all for a good cause as she was touched by the dkny watch that we got her! it must have been a memorable burfday for u toe!

安�

�剩下鋼�陪我談了一天
�著的大�� 安�的舊舊的
我想你已表�的�常明白
我懂我也知� 你沒有��得
你說你也會難�我�相信
牽著你陪著我 也�是曾經
希望他是真的比我還�愛你
我�會逼自己離開
你�我說多難堪 我根本�想分開
為什麼還�我用微笑來帶�
我沒有這種天份 包容你也接�他
�用擔心的太多 我會一直好好�
你已經��離開 我也會慢慢走開
為什麼我連分開都�就著你
我真的沒有天份 安�的沒這麼快
我會學著放棄你 是因為我太愛你

Happy Valentine's everybody!
Hope it'll be a great day for everyone! Cheers!

here's a nice photo of a warm cosy dinner by the sea. great ambience and sea breeze. had a good time there!

visiting day!! quite a fun day today. went to visit my granduncles, grandaunts and great grand mother! yes i still have a great grand mother, how cool is that? she's going to be 100 soon i think, lost track of her age but she's still quite healthy. sat with her while she talked to me about stuff. i'm glad i know a bit of hainanese and hokkien which helped me a great deal when my relatives speak. ya she complained about my mum not bringing her along when she went to china, complained that she's so old and there is no meaning to live and that the maid refuses to let her drink her xo to improve her blood circulation for fear that she'll get drunk. hahaha... well i actually saw her tipsy side once when she stayed at my place. poured a lil too much alcohol and she started walking sideways!!! hahaha what a sight! oh man... sorry great grand ma, quite rude to laugh at you. anyway... have a great new year! hope you'll visit my house again.

actually heard the entire story of my family's close shave in phuket today. when i first returned and my mum told me the stories, i was quite indifferent. i was more interested in telling my side of the story in cambodia and all the fun i've had. it was only today, when she raconted the entire story to my uncle and aunt that i'm truly thankful to God that they escaped from the gallows of the tidal wave.

thank Lord for letting them stay at the diver's resort at Chalong bay, south east of Phuket and away from the full force of the tsunami. thank God for letting my bros and aunt be far out at sea on their way to snorkelling, where the wave was still small and not yet devastating. thank God for allowing my cousin and uncle to hide behind a rock when they went diving under the sea, and when the current washed them to the surface, they were safe from harm. thank God for keeping my entire family from harm during their stay at Phuket. you're the best!!

Happy New Year!
had the time of my life! woke up at eleven. visited my grandma's house downstairs. received my ang pows. then stoned and slept the entire afternoon away.

i think i can relate to children cos i think like them. i love to act like them and laugh like them. their innocence and pure hearts make them so adorable. my mum just told me that i can interact quite well with children.

in retrospect, i think i do. back in cambodia, i enjoyed playing with the children. being their swing or piggy backer. i'm not inhibited by how childish i look. i just act like them, play like them and have fun like them. seeing them give truly happy smiles is what makes it so enjoyable.

today, at my dad' boss' open house dinner. with the entire place swarming with adults, whom i don't really know what to say to, i felt uneasy n self conscious. to attempt to be sociable, i decided to pick up the nearest girl i saw. a cute girl dressed in pink. hahaha.. this 5 yr old is really intelligent and is not afraid of strangers. she readily opened up after my initial introductory questions. so rachel and i started discussing about ants on the tree, beautiful flowers in the garden, her shaven golden retriever lola, her birthday and the humming bird she saw. my size didn't scare her at all. n i'm glad it didn't. thank you rachel for the company in the uncomfortable setting!

i love children!!!!

1st time at new asia bar! real cool place with a fabulous view.

a rollercoaster ride i've taken today. the queasiness still remains.
my mind is happy that i've taken the ride but not my stomach and intestines.
i wished the 2 evils were not there, leaving only my mind n body.
to enjoy the ups and downs, without the pain and suffering.

i love to sms on my phone, to see the work of art i compose.
but when a button doesn't work, who can i approach?
to use the other buttons, a story can still be told.
but without the finishing touches, the excitement will not unfold.

mc sent this to me.
really cute! some parts a little gross though. have fun!

failed as an alarm clock 2nd time in a row! gone were the days when i was an efficient and trustworthy alarm clock. i'm sorry!!! i can't fail on the 3rd time!!!

woke up late so didn't go for mandarin service. went for youth meeting instead. met many new ppl today and had fun getting to know them better. don't mind hanging out with them... now i know why old people still wanna hang out with youths... makes them feel younger!

drum banging is mind bogling. i've absolutely no rhythm n limbs coordination. i can't multi task let alone move my four limbs at different speeds at the same time. now i'm truly amazed how gerald could play the drums so well. ppl lend me your drums! i shall train n learn so that i can finally multi task!

star light. star bright. first star i see tonight. wish i may. wish i might. a shooting star to light the night.
wished for a shooting star. but i guess i could settle for a flickering one with a chick head attached! what a surprise! THANK YOU!

new asia bar was a cool place! 70 floors above the city, you could see the skyline and have an unobstructed view of the bright lights of the city. good place to chill out or club. do check it out!

wish i had a program or website for mac users to upload photos on blogs easily. so no photos from new asia bar from me. what a waste! the pictures of 2 pretty girls can't be viewed. what a difference when girls bother to dress up. for guys, well no difference so don't bother. ppl, do spend time to take a 2nd look at pancake or indian wife!

beleaguered from all sides. crazy ppl. stoppit before the hypothalamic temperature regulatory system breaks!

i'm more than a meanie. i'm above average.

buy me a spittoon so i can spit. buy me a spittoon so i can spit. cough cough the green man strains. gack gack the thick man resists. whoosh out he goes. swirling and swishing on the bumpy cushion. knocking and banging against hard white walls. expel expel expel the intruder. out you go sticky man! and forever do not return!

but his twin returns and a harder a cough n a harder a gack. oh please go away!


nonstop on radio! ~singapore has got 4 million ppl, 2 million are girls. subtract 1 million who are old, there are still 1 million young ones. how can your grandson not find a gf?~
excerpt from the movie i do i do.

should i or should i not? if i go ahead, things may go wrong. i may be wrong. i'm not even sure. think it is better to hold back until i am.
i've changed. i've learnt to have confidence and courage. but did it come with immaturity? or is this the real me? to be stone or be fun yet immature?

procrastination is my game. slacking is a bane. 5 more weeks to ca. can i learn to balance n manage my time?

congrats to bang! one foot in already. the other foot just needs you not to screw up. of course u won't. after all the salsa training, your feet should be sure and steady. those were the days, when we were complaining. now you've left jasper, yau hong and i to whine amongst ourselves. all the best!!!! you're the man!

xingning left for melbourne today. have fun studying there! wish i could go overseas too. anyone wants to go europe with me after professional exams?

i'm lazy to update my blog. what reason is there for me to put in entries each day? i think i'll just write entries when i actually get about doing some work.

anyway latest things that i've done:
went to cambodia and back alive.
slacking around too much
going out too much. wild wild wet, fisherman's village, ocean's twelve, cosy bay. what next? new asia bar?
went for mandarin church service.
attended commissioning parade.

aim for the moon, fall among the stars.
i'll treat you if i ever see a shooting star again.

Thank you victor for organising such a successful bbq @ ecp! i'm sure everyone had loads of fun.
it was a good crowd of about fifty people where everyone let their hair down after weeks of studying for the cas.
i think after friday's bbq, we would have known a few more people in med fac. i for one now know who is meng chon and andy and teresa marie. it's amazing how med fac is so small yet we don't even know half of m1. i hope through all these activities all of us can get to know each other better.

when i reached there i was dismayed by the turn out. i thought oh no, it would be a failure cos i only saw like 6 people max at the pits with no sign of bbq preparation. good thing it turned out that the early birds were actually cycling or rollerblading along east coast. when i came back from renting my own pair of blades, the food were already sizzling on the pit and people were chit chatting and helping themselves to the food.

it's comforting to know that there is the fun side of medicine besides academic pursuits. exchanging of lame comments, laughing at the burnt food the chefs bbqed (i think cooking should be left to the celebrity chefs - mark and dehan), spilling of drinks on bags and banging people into lamp posts with legs spread open were a few highlights. of course there were the lovey dovey couples who fed each other food, whoa how sweet of them! i think medicine should form more couples now that we have our 2nd couple from medicine. it'd be good for our declining birthrate in s'pore.

ok that summarises the bbq @ ecp. do check out the photos taken. bbq

Post CA1

Yay! it's finally over. 2 weeks of studying in the library and it's over! The exams didn't go too well but i'm just glad it's over. So now it's playing for a while and preparing for cambodia! Haven't had so much fun in a long time.
Right after exams, off we went to karaoke at partyworld. As sleazy a place as it can get, just reminds me of the malaysian hotel where we stayed during rugby tour where there were prostitutes and 'transies' hanging around in the dimly lit corners of the lobby. but it's the crowd that that we hang out with that counts right? getting all excited and crazy during the choruses with daniel was really fun. i think the best song rendition by us was the 'wayne yap, never give up!' song. it's so catchy and fun to see whiny wayne so pissed off. haha...

then it was the incredibles time! loved every moment of it! thought the pixar animators were great in giving each cartoon a unique character. ooooh... the hair looked so real too! the technology is really improving by leaps and bounds. i was really amused by all the weird objects elastigirl can transform herself into, esp when she became a boat with dash sprinting his ass off as the propeller. what a sight! i like dash's character best. loud, motor mouth, cool running style and ability to run on water made him so adorable! but i think the most shocking part was seeing the baby become evil! it's a demon baby! so young and it is able to change into a demon and a fireball? what bad influences it must have been exposed to.

anyway don't you agree the sheep in boundin' looks like middle sheep aka zhong yang?

i am going to abandon my com for the next 2 weeks cos i just realised that i need to complete a topic a day to barely finish studying for ca1. which is quite impossible considering that i'm really slow. so if you see me online tell me to get back to my books! all the best to the medics for the coming ca!!

bud>thanks bud! all the best for your a's too! what happened to your blog?
mandy>yay!!! saya tak cakap melayu. good!! we need to find more people! i think optimum number is 4.

a bientot dans deux semaines!
