missing you

I have received the loveliest email from a long time friend over Christmas and I really miss him ...

"..... JOE – You were never left out, and I have never ignored you on MSN. Your messages on MSN or via SMS have never been or WILL NEVER be ignored. Thanks for your encouragement all these while. Don’t let your megawatt smile stops shining and stunning! Stay happy always! No matter what your surname is, you are always the same Chichi. Cheers!...."

X factor 2008 Final

Today Uncle Goh called to gently remind me that there has been a lot of anger in my recent entries so out of concern he was just curious to know why... I have been very calm and happy lately, I have not been pulling a long face to work or snapping at people; Uncle Goh don't think too much. Blogging has just become my own way of detoxing my inner system - mentally and spiritually. I just write about certain things that I have no answers to or, even about an event that had taken place which I couldn't understand the cause of it... sometimes I get frustrated and I just needed to flush it out of me. It is just like shitting - when it gets a little 'tough' to 'let go' it can be a pain, but after you have gotten it all out of your system it really lightens you up! So, it isn't such a negatively thing really.

Was at Tantric a few hours ago, helping out doing some volunteering work with AFA. We were conducting HIV test for MSM (Men who have Sex with Men) on-site with the Oral kit. Our job was simple and very harmless. Basically facilitating the test for the MSM patrons free of charge and patrons do the anonymous test voluntarily, it was not a compulsory test. Previously at certain on-site venue, the test was made compulsory by the owner of the location. While we were trying our best to do our part in helping out the local gay community to reach out to as many MSM as possible hoping that by doing these on-site tests more people will actually come forward to get tested, there was this one guy who I had a little short 'conversation' with:

Mr X: You shouldn't be here. I don't think it is right. This isn't a proper place here for you to conduct the test.
Me: It is just a screening test that we are doing here. Results will only show post+ or Neg-. Even if it is post+, you need to get tested again at the clinic... for a more accurate result.
X: There isnt any doctor here. And I don't tink u shloud be doing this at a bar!
Me: We are trying to reach out to people who do not go to the clinic or hospital to get tested. And this is totally voluntarily, it is entirely up to you to get tested.
X: I wont do it. I feel that it is not right for you to be here.
Me: Well, thank you for your feedback.

At one of my usual missions (out to save the gay community) last night, I met a long time friend, Ms. Mistevious - looking every bit herself. She is one person I have total respect for and she has never change one single bit from when I first knew her since 5-6 years ago. This one is my favourite among her many many other pictures:

New office

Lunch at Orchard Towers used to be: Main course $5 to $6 + Kopi $0.80 + Fruit $2 = $8.80
Lunch at TPY is now: Main Course $2.20 + Kopi in a milk can $0.90 + Pancakes $1 = $4.10

SEE! Unbelivable.

Uncle has passed away today

You know what they say about a phone call in the middle of the night is always bad news.

You will be missed. Peace.

1-0

Ah Soh: You changed your own designation to a SD in the new namecard artwork? Why did you demote yourself?

Ah Soh: Can you PLEASE change it back to AD - your working title. (notice her tone is never a request although she was asking)

Kiong: No la. I think I want to keep it as my official designation. SD is good for me.

Kiong: I am more comfortable using SD. I never apply for AD post and you keep piling AD work onto me. I don't like spoon feeding juniors. I hate doing those admin work. Making sure that their works are on track. I would rather concentrate on my own design work.

Ah Soh: You mean I can't even ask for your second opinion on junior's work? You know other company also the same - even if you are a SD, you also have to do a AD's work, with AD's responsibilities.

Kiong: That's other people. None of my business.

Ah Soh: ok .. you change it back to AD. I will take note of it.

Kiong: I been here for two years close to three. I know you. You will go back to square one and ask me to do the same old things again. I don't need that. Now I am making it official. I don't want to take care of juniors. So, NO.

Ah Soh: I have no time for these... I got no time to keep attending to these things about you. Other designers never give me such problem. It's very common that your have another title different from your official title. Like my friend, she is a Manager but her namecard states General Manager. Other bosses don't even ask their staffs, they just print the cards...

Kiong: You can print. But I wont distribute.

Ah Soh: Why you so unaccommodating? You come in 9am plus and leave at 630pm sharp, I also never say anything. It doesn't matter one, what have you got to lose?

Kiong: When I come in 7am and leave at 10pm I don't see you complaining.

(Her mind is all over the place. I am not about to join her in her mental roller coaster. Not gonna go further with her nonsenses.)
Ah Kiong: If doesn't matter why are you so particular about this. You brought this up yourself. So, may I now go back to my work.

Ah Soh: OK la. Up to you.

Anyone has any idea what does DYMK stands for?
NO prize for getting it right. hahahaha....

Lovely place. Hope it will be around as long as MOX.

JP The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, is he gay?

Well, I thought I had missed that episode where JP was supposedly booked for one of the gay magazine cover job but that only catch was the cover model has to be gay to be put onto the cover - Channel 5 didn't broadcast that episode which they were to reveal if he was or not gonna take up that cover job. Viewers were left at that not knowing if JP is gay....

Til I saw this on youtube... at around 6:35 of the clip

Bintan, Indonesia

Gonna go Bintan to leelax leelax a bit :D
Will be back recharged, I hope....

The last time I was at Bintan must be like 12-15 years ago with Yentaa, Michael, Fang, Denise, Sylvia etc....
I doubt anyone still remember. LOL

I think maybe I should really tone it down a tad

On our way home in the train, from bukit batok to wdlds...

Mum sat next to one old aged uncle around his 50s or 60s, and uncle had moved slightly to an empty seat besides him so that I can sit down with my mum. It was very kind of him but there was one young kid in his teens or early 20s playing his PS2 too engrossed (or too bochap) raised his right foot over his left thigh, 'blocking out' one empty seat. This kid totally ignored uncle's request for him to put his foot down. Only after moments of hesitation, this brat finally brought down his foot and continue to play his hand held game. I had already witness this but since he had decided to sat himself properly, I kept quiet.

Within the next 5 seconds, this spoilt brat raised up his foot again and I lost it. I totally cannot tolerate people who do that and actually many times I had told a few guys off too in the train when they do that because their shoes tend to rub off my pants and I hate it when that happens - executive wearing adults or guys in their sports wear heading to school or idiots in their berms & slippers weekends, i have seen them all. To me, it is the equivalence of some ladies who love to cross their legs and leg out obstructing the walkway, in a crowded train - I would usually walk right pass them and leave them bitching behind.

So back to this morning's saga....

"HELO, do u have any manners to just put your leg down?"..... of cos, with this I knew I had started a war in the train. That spoilt brat's equally irritating sister started finger pointing and his another female family member, could be the mother starting trying to reason things out, and other passengers inside the train started speaking up for that uncle... The next thing i saw, that brat wanted to challenge another elderly man to a fight, shouting and hand gestures and all... since I am in my gym wear, I thought I can also put some of my worked out muscles to use... Of cos, in the end, there wasn't any blood shed or any hard punches.

I had didn't want to create a scene or 'act hero' but this encounter is not the first time where I got really hot tempered and just felt that I need to speak up (it had happened since school days where my lovely classmates would know what temper I had before and since my clubbing days at the pubs, even the gay ones...) I cannot just pretend that I don't see anything and try to ignore, there is this inner me that will just demonstrate his kaypoh-ness when situations arise. I tot I have tamed down a lot over the years but I think I haven't... I got to stop.

Maybe I need to learn to tolerate, control and learn to become more bo-chap, or be at peace with myself more. ONLY IF I could ever be able to come to term with myself and convince myself that when I do meet some bloody idiots and they had irritated me or said some really nasty things to me, I have to forgive them and pray for them to be good.

And well, that will be salvation day, you mother fuckers!

我猜我猜我猜猜猜

wah.... this ah pui not bad at all

COURTS, again!

I can never understand how someone working in such a huge organization can be so bloody rude and unprofessional. I called the helpline 18002226868 to enquire for their main office number. It's not called a helpline for fun right? And ironically I didn't get much help from there. A lady picked up the phone and conveniently gave me a random number. I know how helpful they usually are so, I double checked with her if that is the correct number.

"Is that the number to the main office?" I asked. "No", "It's Bukit Timah Branch." she replied, as a matter-of-factly. "No. I asked for the main office number..." "Wait" she put me on hold. And sometimes when u get irritated, everything magnified - their holding tone is apparently, toneless, no music, just silence; how 'comforting' to know that they really look into details and they are so 'willing' to help. "It's 63097888". Again, I checked "Is this to the main office?" "It's the Mega store's number." she replied. Puzzled, and I asked, "Is the main office in the Mega Store?" "Ya." I can hear her sigh and her impatient tone.

I slammed the phone. I hope she got my point.

And oh yes, I wish she has a day as great as she had made mine to be.

Madonna’s directorial debut

Late night yesterday, I met K and J, H and F, and new couple MS and Eric after my gym. Eric isnt as 'chatty' as H and F said he is but he is really the Mr Know-Everyone. From the bosses of Mox to even The Bitch, A (!). Is that even possible? We had a drink at McD's Forum and didn't leave til 2am. We can really talk...

Woke up at only 11am this morning and I was always upset whenever I sleep late on wkends - I just dun like to waste the day away in bed, especially wkends. But, ironically, wkdays are totally different thing, I can never get up on time. haha.....

Bought these before I got home from gym just now:
Grease 2 VCD $6.95
Sister Act VCD $6.95
Sweet Home Alabama VCD $6.95
Dance of the Dragon VCD $12.90

I have been feeling nervous and paranoid lately. Need a drink...

Just Once

I m so nice to have dedicated one full entry for birthday boy, and he is doesn't even read my blog

L's birthday coming.... hmmm... his birthday gift is one of the toughest to buy. He is not into clothings that much, and even if he is, I have no clue of his taste for clothes. I think I know his taste for men better.

He likes home improvement stuffs so maybe get him a video of Oprah's candle making segment or 101 ways to clean your bed sheets to making it feel crisp! or How do you make the perfect welcome flowers and jam basket for your new neighbour... etc. Hahaha.....! Or buy him a jamie oliver cook book so he can do more cookings for us. Haha.. I am evil.

Well, happy birthday bro' ... Thanks for being there when I needed a drink buddy, middle of a work week.

Fly Fly Away, scaredy cat!

You know who you are.

公主講評_陳珊妮

She's so pretty

A good National Blend

I just realised that in my group of friends - almost everyone is paired up with a foreigner:

Ms LL Han (Singaporean) and Tan Ji Liap (Indonesian Singaporean)
K Tay (Singaporean) and J Mok (Malaysian SG-PR)
Tai Tai TAI (Singaporean) and Prince Ong CK (Singapore born Malaysian)

Farny siah.......

Fame...

Dont we all feel that way once awhile... we all have that moment.

I owe it all to you!

This one is a classic. I have the extended OST. hahaha...!
I was first introduced to the world of English music from here.

what can I say..... haha!

If you know this one, you ARE soooo old!

Retro time!

The first thing i recall when listen to this song is (1) Solid Gold. I follow religiously every week! (2) Saturday afternoon, after my NPCC parade; and some good-for-nothing punks will be blasting this song on their mini-compo at the technical block! haha... those were the days (3) Smash Hits magazine. Kylie is on the cover almost every issue.

Day two

Woke up early today, went to the temple and came back for our complimentary breakfast, and had a long day out shopping. was great! will put up the pics soon ;)

Day one

It's been rather cold and there's been slight rain here. But Bangkok will be Bangkok, the night is always very busy at Patpong and at Silom. K n J, Tai and me had just finished our dinner at Telephone, Silom Street. I like my fried chicken with fries... very satisying =) So is my Sex On The Beach cocktail! LOL... I bought a pair of slippers (at Patpong night market) for my trip to chaptuchak tomorrow. I managed to bargain from 750bht to.... 180bht! - EVERYTHING IS OVERPRICED HERE.

We will be heading out to Erawan Four Faced Buddha Temple tomorrow morning before breakfast. There will be my main intention of being here in the first place.

After that, head back to Bangkok City Suite for breakfast, before going to the weekend market.

Anna's closet

Ms Anna had tendered her resignation to radio1003. People who know me will know that I listen to 1003 throughout the day, from early morning til late night. (I am truly cheena) And I have always love her voice and the way she carry herself, no one I find so far is able to level her competence on radio. Am sad that she had to move due to health reasons but, I am sure it's for the better.

Got me thinking. This year my health hasn't been that great as well. Maybe I should also go on a break from work stress and my blood sucker boss. Already a few signs showing... Or do I wana wait til' it's too late?

MODE MIX MAQUILLAGE by Shiseido

Ladies, check out their colors!

Agyness Deyn - STYLISH MIX

YURI - LOVELY MIX

KURI - ACTIVE MIX

Guys, they do have a male series for the pretty boys. And I think some well known person is endorsing it.

What's your problem?

I REALLY think I should quickly get my driver's license and start saving to get my own car.

Today is the second time I encounter another rude woman in the train. I was already standing at the edge of the cabin and I could not move in any further because there was this handicap guy in crutches behind me, so came this stupid woman keep on squeezing her way in - FOR GOD'S SAKE, wait another train will fucking XXX is it! When she finally got into the train, she just kept grumbling about how she was being squeezed and that it so dangerous for her to be so near to the closing door, beat that! And of cos her body continue to make way into the already packed cabin.

Me: "What's your problem? You cant see that this guy already cant stand properly and you have to keep squeezing in."

Woman: "You got see who's the last to enter of not?" she was pointing to this another stupid uncle who later made his way in infront of her. "Don't scold me. Scold the last one to come in."

Me: " Can you be more considerate or not?"

Me: "You keep pushing onto me."

Woman: "I never push you ok. People pushing me."

Me: "Fuck you lah!"

Woman: "Like woman like that, keep complaining. Man where got like that. Grumble grumble grumble... I enter the wrong door...." Made her way into the inside of the cabin passing through the handicap guy and keep on grumbling about how I have wronged her.

Handicap guy: "Can you be more considerate? I m physically disable and I m trying my best to hold on. What you want me to do? I can't move in anymore and there's a lady before me and I cant move in anymore..."

Handicap guy: "If I fall down will you be responsible? Theres a lady in front of me, I cannot squeeze in further onto her, I am a guy you know. She complain bring me to police will you be my witness? Why cant you be considerate?"

Woman: Busy defending herself.... grumble more. "Your friend scold me ok!"

Me: (To her) "I don't know him ok..." "I just find you so inconsiderate"


We reached Toa Payoh station.

Handicap guy: Moving near towards me at the door "Bro' are you alighting at Toa Payoh? If not, I need some space to move out..."

Me: "Sure... sure... i am alighting too ..."

I walked him up to the control station and he casually mentioned that this isn't the first time that he meet such inconsiderate people in public transports. He will just have to bear with it and move on in life. He is doing outdoor sales and he needs to move around quite alot.

Me: "Why don't you take the bus? MRT at these hours are very packed...."

Handicap guy: "it is the same... buses also have many funny people. They obviously see me in such condition and they will even scold me out loud."

Handicap guy: "ok you take care... bye"

Me: "bye..."


Feeling very affected when I left him, I know that I need to do a 30 minutes run at gym to get this feeling out of my system.
I probably may see him again - or, maybe not. but, I have learnt something today.

what some people do.

I tot this is funny

12:16am

Read from Jason Hahn's article that his flatmate Amanda had just lost a major case she'd been working on for nearly a year... reminded me of one of mine. I've been trying to get one for close to a year and a half, didn't get it - that case eventually went to someone else consider to be a bigger player and a much higher asking rate but, a not so impressive design. Life is sucky.

Health has not been so good for me =(
A few issues which I do not want to write about right now.
Until I get my medical results.
People who know me will already know about it whereas, people who do not know me, its not that important to know about.

hmmm... is it Monday or Tuesday that you will get to see my Orchard MRT design....
Look out for it k! =)

Recent incident shows that the old saying 'dogs that don't bark will bite the deepest' is true.
I relate what had happened to my mum, and she told me that she too was bitten when she was young and similarly it all happen too suddenly to react. So the next time you see a dog that seems strangely silent, just be doubly careful.

Somehow, all these seems rather de javu...

foolish move

Used to really adore her... but duno wats gotten into her. pity.

Today's really not my day. A few projects came rolling back in when I thought the cases were long closed. I really hate that. And whole day at work was rectifying errors after errors - and these weren't even errors on my end. My tolerance level for incompetent idiots is low.

And then, later part of the afternoon, I've gotten a shocking news. Couldn't really concentrate after that. And I decided to miss gym in the evening because I know I wont be able to work out in that state of mind anyway so, no point going.

On my way home, I bought a CD which I tot that would have to be 'the' CD of the year for me although it was released 2007.
Take a listen :

Just me

It has become a routine for me to stay up real late on friday nights - either dinner wth H and F, gym or reading my book.
Saturday morning the alarm rings at 7am but I wont get up til 11am. ha... Tune in to 1003 and clean the house when no one is at home. Mum will be working and dad will be out somewhere... Yeo Yan Yan will be on-air, 43B. And by 2pm as she finish her programme, I will be almost done with my chores. Very timely.

Soon my Maquillage will be completed at Orchard.
And then I will be expecting my big fat comm coming in
Hahaha..... Oh well, I so deserve every cent of it!

You give love a bad name

Nice rendition... Now there's two Singaporean guys in the finals. But my fav is still 林芯儀.

It's already July...

I've not been able to really update my blog - seeking forgiveness fr my bloggy =P
There's been work... pat tor... gym, busy slimming down... work... pat tor... blah blah
(Noticed that my complexion isn't as good as before - need more Estee Lauder, night repair serum! haha And of cos, some rest sleep and rest!)

Few nights ago, I have a wonderful stay at Merchant Court - and below are just my comments:
1. Bed - Really bad! it is too soft. ★
2. Cleanliness - ★★★★
3. Facilities - There's gym + pool + ice dispenser outside the room, right at the door. Just a little disappointed that they didn't place in toothpastes and tooth brushes. ★★★★
4. Service - So-so. Seriously, they don't smile enough. By Swissotel hotels' standard, I am giving only ★★.
5. Food - At the lobby cafe, their durian paste is very famous. And, always very comforting. Good. But the other food is normal. ★★★
Overall - ★★

@ Work
I m looking forward to giving my friends a treat - Thanks for the intro uncle Jeff! wink!

Peculiar Chris

"How much longer could we take the kind of verbal abuse that we threw at each other under those trying circumstances? I did not know what was worst for Samuel - to be apparently healthy and wondering when his immune system would break down, to be slightly ill and wondering if his immune system had broken down, or to finally have an immune system that had broken down and die as a result. Every option was equally traumatic, and the undeniable fact was that he was likely to go through every one of them."

Peculiar Chris

I refused to believe in beginnings because a beginning necessarily implies an end. If you reject the idea altogther, life just goes on.

Second life

I heard about this Second Life online 3D virtual 'game' - not sure if i got it right. But it's really bizarre.
You will be living in a world created by its residents and connect with people in that world and get to make friends virtually. You get to become anyone you want to be and live any life you want to have. Just google it.

I already know who I would want to become. Ha....

Been feeling tired, maybe it's work

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I am on my own -> so I will usually go to the gym. Except maybe Fridays, because well, it's FRIDAY - being that last day of the week, I sometimes wana give my body a break and not go gym; maybe have a drink with friends or have dinner. Depends.

Certain Tuesdays and Thursdays -> I will head to gym too, if I am not dating - but these are 'rest days' so mostly light cardios and light weights.

Very briefly that's a summary of my after-work schedules. I really dislike talking about my work-outs because I find that really hardcore and I don't think I am - I just like to run, and of cos eventually look presentable :)

Saturdays -> My pat-tor day, and that's usually in the evening. In the morning, I go work out. Again. Usually Saturday work-out is at Yishun. (Toa Payoh is mostly weekdays because that's nearer to work) This evening, I am watching Nardia with my Shan Cai. Haha...

Sundays -> My rest day. After work-out, I go home and finish up my left over work which sometimes I will bring back home. Sad.

Hmm... I wonder at the rate I am heading gym, why is my spare tyre not gone!?
GO AWAY!

Coming August -- Likely BKK
Next Feb -- Hong Kong

I am making plans to go travel with friends this year end, before Christmas. Initial plans for Taipei may have to wait ... sob. It will be six of us, H n F, K n J and Tai and me. I can't wait.

Peculiar Chris is back on the shelves again!
After so long....
Will definitely try to grab a copy.
This is one of the earliest gay book I have ever read.

I have not discuss about the recent tragedy with anybody because I refuse to be affected by it and would want to believe that such news will all go passed us very quickly, and in no time we will all have forgotten all about it. However, the one most talked about incident about this mother who left a sms note on her mobile for her baby was one I cannot ignore because I believe that all mothers do love her child and she will sacrifice herself to save her baby.

蘇打綠 - 小情歌 MV_完整版

Hon get well and never self medicate!

I've tired...

I m a little upset at someone recently.


It's really not that I intentionally avoid you or didn't wana chat with u on msn but I just have been really busy and busy settling some issues at the moment. Which these issues are extremely important to me. ( I knw "we all have our own issues" - YOU have had all your issues all these time and people around you had tried their best before to help you with them. I KNOW. U are done with your issues.) So its MY time to have MY space.

You "dun understand why we established msn in the first place when I dun wana chat". PLEASE. You cant come into my life after like 10 years and expect me to do what - pretend that we are best friends? Many people choose to just keep their silence but I am not them, I will speak up - like it or not. It's time you learn to deal with me. I think I already did what i can the best way i knw how. Be appreciative. For a start you have no rights to msn me those craps.

Trust your friends (or rather, people you consider friends to begin with) a little more, believe that they really have their own lives over here in Singapore. Of cos some harsh words were exchanged and I really duno how to rectify that. BUT I shall leave it as that. I think it's better for us that way. Enough damages done (words can be so bloody sharp).

[No comments will be published on this entry. Read for fun and let's move on with our lives.]

I am just very grateful that everything is ok. For now.
Peace.
And thanks hon.

Peace

If only I can just gather enough courage and move on... Peace. Need it.

nonsensical posting

I dun think what he did is something to be proud of but it nothing to really feel ashamed of either. Like him or not, he's got his charms and with his kinda looks - phew! he will get away with many things/mistakes.

I have never believe in the term 'unconditional love'. Nothing to me is so-called 'unconditional'.
Even with your parents and best friends... there will always be an intangible condition, like it or not.
Of course, I would love to believe that I am wrong.
Ms-SLIM would be more than happy to bitch me to this :D HOR?


Anyway, this morning I have received an email (from Karen) and this touched me:

How To Dance In The Rain


It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.

He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him.

I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?'

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life.'

True love is neither just physical or romantic.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.'
........................................................................................................

Conditional or unconditional, I am glad that I found mine.

For myself on my birthday - love this guy. His gentle manner and his talent - admirable.

34. SHOCKING....

Happie Birthday to me...
又老了啦 jialiat...

Day One

First day of work after a long break (11.5 days) I just wanted to lie down in bed and not get up at all. Took a lot of determination and strength :D literally. The day was ok... work wasn't that busy. As usually, had lunch at around 12ish and I left around 7pm. Went to the gym, ran for about 20mins and within an hour I was done with my work out. Erm... not very exciting at all. I need to seriously look into that part of my life and make it better. A new year resolution, maybe?

I think it's important to be nice.
I think it's a lot more admirable to be able to be nice.

Cos it's the easy way out to be a bitch.
I can be a bitch in like a second, but it will take years to become a nice person.

WOOHOO! Gay theme in the 80s...

With Or Without You

Tis one's for Kenny. He opened my mind n ears n eyes to U2. :)

Fast car

I absolutely CANNOT do a recap without including her! She's my favourite. Even til these days...
Please listen to the lyrics. [click onto the video and on youtube you will find her lyrics]

First Time

Do we remember that this was a Coke song!? :)

Could Have Been

This song reminds me of a pen pal I used to have... Fanny. She's from TKGS. hahahaa... we even went on a group date and she actually brought along her other classmates (a girl called Rose...) and I brought my guy classmates to meet her up together. :D

Let's Wait Awhile

Secondary three - four. I don't think she will ever be able to touch me again with her songs now, like how she did with this one before. It will always be a saturday wee morning, right before my NPCC parade starts and I will be polishing my boots with this song. And, of cos, with my Marlboro Red :)

In My Dreams

This one is another classic. Secondary two - three. I used to listen to Roger Khoo and Lynette Khoo, and once I heard this one over their programme, Saturday Spin! and I fell in love with it. Think it stayed on number one for the longest time then.

One Hand One Heart

No story to this one. I just love her. Since young. One of my many favorites, One Hand One Heart :) Think she is still looking very good for her age now.

Was It Nothing At All

Secondary four. This song instantly brings me back to the smell of Waffle Town chicken at Bukit Timah Plaza, Basement 1. I was working parttime at KFC at the same level. And this song is on constant replay every morning when I do opening :) I miss my gang Meiling, Bizhen, David, Spark and Lynette.

Eternal Flame

Secondary three - four. I had this HUGE crush on this girl - Hilda Sin. hahaha!
She love this song. So, this song reminds me of her. "How've you been Mei fong?"

Mandolin Rain

Secondary one - two. I used to study til very very late at night or sometimes early morning next day. And usually by 5am, radio would be playing this song. THEN, I was still listening to perfect 10, 98.7 :) I would have one Marlboro red and then head to bed.

BILLY JEAN

I really really like him then ... I grew up listening to him. I still remember when I was still in primary school and everyday grandma would wake my cousins and me up at 6am. Rediffusion would definitely be playing Billy Jeans or Madonna's Like a Virgin while going through their routine radio aerobic exercise :) I still cannot get over that orbit white socks lah....

Been DOWN. Never been this down in my life. I m blessed that I have two very important people in my life.
Kenny, 沒有你 我不會有今天的自己，沒有你的不故一切都為我禍出去 我不知道我能不能走到這裡。 謝謝你ugly!
Hon, 有了你的愛 我就多了那一口气活下去。其實 我需要你，這十年來的點點滴滴 我會帶著 放再心裡。

During my depression period, I find myself listening to this song a lot (For some reasons, I find peace in it)

I have gotten my first birthday gift in 2008 from mr tai :D
really cool .... and now I wont catch any colds at work le!
its got my fav colour red and my lucky colour silver - two in one
LOVE IT! :D

I m leaving for Bangkok in another five hours :) It should be a good break for me, not sure, I hope. Go to the temple and maybe make a wish, not sure. Work has been the least exciting lately, I am at a cross road, left or right? not sure. Would this be a good and relaxing trip? I also not sure. hahahaha...... duno lah.

RIP

Rest In Peace, MC King

She was around 19 when she had me and her lover was a married man- an alcoholic - already had five kids, not sure if they were then in Singapore or Malaysia. Being a single mother I guess the best would be to give me away and apparently I was to be adopted by another business man whom his wife couldn't conceive but he changed his mind due to some administrative reasons. And then ... a close family friend, auntie Hong, who is also Michael's mum, recommended my parents to this single mother and that's how my parents adopted me instead.

My mum had just had a miscarriage then and when she discovered that she may not have another child again, she and father adopted me.

Take a listen, recommended by bobo:
