Happy (belated) Bday to Zhao Yong (& myself, =P)

Happy belated bday to ZY!! Was too tired to blog yesterday, so I only posted a belated wish here =P

zzzzzzz... I still think I don't have enuff sleep... Slept less than a total of 10 hrs for both days @ my chalet. Thanx to all who came! As for those who couldn't come, thanx for the wishes, esp Charles who called all the way from Phillipines (though I noe u were hoping that Jimmy was there & can tok to u =/)!! ;)

Anyway here's the photos of my presents...

True Star perfume from Aimei, Bingjia, Candy (Lim), Jeremy, Lisheng, Sharon, Zhao Yong and my sis! Thanx to Aimei, Lisheng & Zhao Yong who were there to accompany and help me thruout the 2 days! I won't be able to have the party w/o the 3 of u! I owe u guys (& gal) a drink! =D Thanx to Jeremy who came down on both days aft work though it was aft 12midnight. Thanx to BJ & his sis who helped me book the chalet too (I still owe u the $ for the chalet =P)!

CD bought by my sis, this is my only surprise present that I wanted but didn't tell ppl. Thanx sis! *muacks*

CD from Angela & Yenting. Thanx gals!

Earings from Chew & Na. Chew: Thanx for willing to come down aft work & talking to my frens when Na is not here yet =D. Na: Thanx for rushing down aft ur meeting.

Sony earphones from my TJ frenz: Ade, Joyce, Huiling, Qiuling, Siti, Yati, Yiru, Weixiang. Thanx to Yiru who took a cab in from the MRT station!!

And of cos, my new E720C and the blue furry pouch!! I used my phone to take pix of all these presents =D I really luv this phone!! I think my camera will be put to some dark corner already, cos other than the resolution (3megapixels camera vs 1 megapix hp cam), I think my hp camera is so much better!! The video is v clear & doesn't jerk. U can see the video taken by Jianqiang here (available for 7 days only). The "shutter" speed (erm... cos it doesn't have a shuttle, but I dunno wat's the term for that for a dig cam) is also faster than my camera! The white balance on my hp camera is much better also... Since I don't really need a high-resolution camera, I juz need my hp camera! =P

Oh! And here's the ppl who bought the phone... ALOT of em... I'm juz putting in the names of those who wrote on the cards, so I'm sorry if I miss any of u...

Joo, Cailing, Jiali, Amy, Gordon, Jennifer, Merv, Jimmy, Tao Heng, Yingxian, Kelvin Koh (aka small Kelvin), Grace, Yeeming, Haojie, Candy, Andrew, Yaohua, Miaomei, Yancui, Ho Kiat, Steph, Jiayao, Josh, Weicong, Qiulin, Wenhao, Aiyen, Arpan, Lincoln, Weihan, Tainam & Chris

Added at 11.14pm: Carol, Charles, Yushun

See wat I mean by alot of ppl? Thanx to the gers who helped buy the phone & collect $ from sooo many ppl! =D

Oh I nearly 4got! Thanx to Jianqiang & Nick for ur Marks & Spencer's Cherry Liquer Chocolate!! (The choco is in the fridge, that's y I nearly 4got bout it =P) I haven't got the chance to eat it cos I'm having a throat viral infection now!! BOOHOO... (The photo below is taken by my camera, told u it sux...)

Though I noe my parents won't read this (they dunno how to use the computer), I still wanna thank em here. My mother was there to help my bbq the food aft she finishes her dinner. My father helped driving my mother down to the chalet & taking the stuffs back after the party. N also not forgetting the expenses of this party!

Shld I thank this cat & kitten which came to my chalet? Haha. Here's the pic of the kitten, but it's abit too dark... can't use flash in case it got frightened away

So cute!!!! It came on 27th night & later on its mother came. We saw the mother-cat breast-fed the kitten, were amused & started staring @ em. Somehow the mother got paiseh & walked away & the kitten kept followin the mother but the mother kept walking away. Haha. So cute. So in the end we hid behind this window where we can see em. But I didn't take a photo. Aiyah!

Since my camera sux, my photos were taken by other ppl's camera, shall upload em when I get hold of em.

As for ZY's bday, we bought a mango cake for him & celebrated for him @ 12+am on 29th. ZY was showering & we decided to shout "Happy Birthday Zhao Yong!!" from the room. When I said, "1, 2, 3", I was the only one who shouted... So I stopped at, "Hap...." Stupid Aimei & Lisheng lar, still wanna plan, nv tell me... Then we decided to go get the mango cake from the fridge & bring it into the room. JQ & Nick were in the room, waitin to play mahjong & they "helped" out a bit... Nick sat on a chair in front of the door of the toilet while JQ hid his body behind the curtain, showin only his head. Thanx for JQ & Nick for "helping" with the surprise attack! But I wanna emphasize... it was really their idea!! Not me!!

When Jeremy came, we played asshole dai di again lor... Haha. And ZY kept being the asshole & AM being the King, since the 1st nite lor, haha. And LS trying to be lame, said sth like Da S & Xiao S (sound like Da Ass & Xiao Ass) & SOS. Then when I said, "Y don't u say Asshole Ass (sound like SOS)??!!" I realised it was quite funny, then all the 5 of us laughed, haha.

Ok lar, think that's all on my bday liao. Thanx once again to anyone who made it possible!

And here's a quiz that I juz took. I'm blue!! Isit all fated? Hmmm...

BLUE You give your love and friendship unconditionaly. You enjoy long, thoughtful conversations rich in philosophy and spirituality. You are very loyal and intuitive. Find out your color at Quiz Me!

1+ wks from blogging

I realised the last proper blog entry that I had was 1+wks ago, on 16th July, haha. So here's a long one.

22nd July Fri
Steph came to meet me @ Joo Seng for lunch. Thanx for accompanying me for lunch! My colleagues went to celebrate the bday of another colleague whom I'm not v close to & told me on Thurs. So I got Steph to eat lunch with me. =D Passed her my handphone for trade-in & we had a super long lunch (@ least for me... it's 1 & 1/2 hours, haha, over my lunch time =P) She asked me to go PS with her, Amy & Jiali aft work & I was decidin if I shld go.

Turn out I really went to meet em aft work, but we changed the place @ Suntec. Ate dinner with Jiali & Amy, Steph din eat with us cos she's eating dinner @ home with her mother. Steph got her Nokia 6101 using Amy's Starhub line @ $88 (with 2 Lido ticket stubs). When we went to Singtel to get my E720C, it was too late... the Hello shop was closed. So sad...

23rd July Sat
Went HeritageFest's Fun On Foot with Amy, Jiali & Joo. Wah, damn tired. We went touring around Chinatown, Telok Blangah & Labrador Park. Then it started raining heavily @ Labrador Park. Poor organisers, so suay. And it was really VERY heavy.

Aft that went to Modern Beauty for a facial that Aimei signed up for me. There was this slim fit thingy also for free. We were like all wrapped up with polyester wrap & we had to exercise on a stepping machine... I climbed like 300m!! Haha. Aft that was facial. They gave me a package of $200 for 5 visits of facial and I was quite tempted, cos normally when i do facial @ my neighbourhood salon it's $40 and it's not as good! But my mother dun allow... Then 4get it lor...

Aft that met my family at Bugis for a Seoul Garden dinner. My father suggested to us of having dinner on Sat cos it was the last wkend he could use the van, it'll be scrapped the following wkend. Hmmm... I realised that though this van has been with us for 5 years, I dunno the car plate number!!!! The previous van that my father had was for 10 years! And I can still rmb the car plate number! GJ8431, cos my previous postal code was 1438, hehe.

Well, no time to blog, I've to go check in chalet liao. BBL on 29th!!

I want both peanuts =D

U can click on the pictures below to look @ the related blog entry by another blogger.



Got the link from Jiali:
http://www.limyishun.net/2005/07/how-much-does-peanut-cost.html

I went back to see the blog next day and there's another picture:



Creative guy man

More photos from SL

I still can't get over all the trip man. There's juz too many photos!! (We took like 600+ photos in all... =P)


Me enjoying the expedition-treat dinner in Colombo's Seafish Restaurant.



Group photo taken @ the work site. As u can see, Da Xiong majium putting weight on the ppl beside him....



This proves that the bed can tahan the weight of so many ppl! But the bed broke soon after a kid jumped on the bed...



This kid is a ladies' man. He has a v charming smile & he's so nice!! He helped the gers tie pleats! (In this pic he's helping Candy to tie pleats)



Kids living in houses by the road we walked past everyday are super frenly. Sights like this are common.



Damaged house by the beach



Our footprints by the beach. Nice pic =D



The 3 musketeers of the site. As u can see they are dancing happily, Sri Lanka style =)



Steph with the height chart that she has drawn. Aren't the cartoon characters cute?! The height chart looks pro rite? Hehe. I feel v sorry towards this, cos I merely pasted the papers together, drew the measurements & wrap the chart!!



Did I mentioned that on the 1st few days of our trip, 2 ang mohs came to the site & gave out free pens & pencils to the kids? Stealing our limelight... *&^%$#@!

Think that's all... it's 4.34am... Came back @ 3+am aft supper @ Aimei's house again... -_-zZ

Buses and limos

I think all humans are the same. The easier u get hold of sth, the more u will not treasure it & vice versa.

I've a close fren who has this quote as his blog subtitles, "Everyone wants to ride with me in the limo, but what i need is someone who will take the bus with me when the limo breaks down."

Everytime things don't get his way, he seem to get angry, and start making comments like, "aiyah, watever" when u try to cool him down, or even better, he juz used that phrase on u when u're discussing about sth & it's not going his way.

For example, he wanted to meet up for dinner or supper & cos another fren was sick, I suggested that we shldn't meet for supper. And when he asked, "So we're not meeting tml?", I told him if he wants, we can still meet for dinner. And he used that phrase on me. I've nv been so pissed with him b4, so I juz answered, "Fine." FINE!!

Well, mayB I'm having PMS myself, but I juz feel that most of the time when he wants to meet up, he expects either me or another fren to call/sms the rest & when we say we're not going out, he'll be unhappy. This time round I didn't inform the rest bout going out cos I'm working, & I might not be joining em for dinner cos I'll be going to rebond my hair in the afternn & I know that one of the fren is sick. He's free but he didn't even bother to inform the rest when he was the one who wanted to go out & expects ME to ask the rest??!! It's a feeling of being taken granted of.

So now wat I've to say to this fren is, I'm even willing to walk with u when the bus breaks down, but I won't be always there to ride on the limo. Juz dun force me to get into ur limo when I'm taking a bus alone or with someone else

Well, going to rebond my hair with Jiali! =P

The NKF Talk

Cos my job is boring, I'll fall asleep if I've no entertainment, I've been listening to UFM's morn show recently during work time. It's sth like a talk show that has a few frequent guests (frequent as in they come @ least once a wk juz for the talk show, they'll not DJs of UFM) every morn, and they talk bout the latest news they have, either on the papers the day b4 or that morning.

Yesterday morn, my father was telling me when I woke up, "See lar, now then announce NKF CEO earns $600,000 per year ah!" I dun even need to open up the Zao Bao on the dining table. The article, though small (roughly the size of ur scientific calculator, mayB longer), was the "top" article -- it was right under the date.

Then on my way to work yesterday, I was listening to UFM & there was this guy who is actually a social worker. He made a comment that went sth like, "If u dun give more $, u won't be able to attract talented ppl to work, even for charitable associations." True, I agree with that. But S$600, 000 per year is too much! This means on average he earns S$50, 000 per month!! And he's only a CEO! I think if I ever get a job as an engineer, my pay will be the most $5k or $6 per month aft a few years of experience. $50, 000 is not even my annual household income!

2 of my fren (I think both of em wanna be annonymous, =P) made a sarcastic remarks of sth like we shld all be charitable & join charitable organisations. Haha. If I get an annual pay of $600k I dun mind! =P

Anyway, lotsa ppl called NKF to withdraw their monthly donations to em, including one of my colleagues. Another colleague used to make fun of her, "Why not u give me $5/mth to buy 4-D instead, I'm v in need lei!" Actually I think that what happened should not stop us from donating to charitable organisations. I've a relative who got kidney problems b4 & he told us that the best way u wanna help the kidney patients is to donate the $ directly to the kidney centres instead of donating via the foundation.

As quite an anti-NKF person, of cos I've quite some things to say lor. U can refer to http://amigoeva.blogspot.com/2005/04/of-complains-and-comments.html on my complains on NKF calling me up to persuade me to take their NKF card. And do u realised that during the NKF show, the number 1900 XXX 6888 keep appearing during the NKF show & says that there's 20 chances of winning the lucky draw but doesn't tell u that u're paying for 8 calls. Ok, they do, but only during commercials. Even when the artistes are askin u to call their numbers, it's normally 6855/6833. I remember during the early years of NKF shows, they'll still show the multiple calls number with the actual number of calls u're calling. My colleague actually didn't wanna call but felt pitiful for the cancer patients & called the number that appeared, thinkin that it's 1 call only. It's actually the 8 calls number.

Recently NKF has been setting up extra "sectors" in the foundation. Like the Children's Medical Fund & the most recent Cancer Fund. I don't understand why they still want to have these 2 funds. We already have Singapore's Children's Society & Singapore's Cancer Foundation isn't it? Unless they are helping these 2 organisations to get ppl to donate $, then that's diff! Now we know why they need to have so much $! *shakes head*

Hai... I shall go sleep le lar... btw, regarding the 10, 000th person rite, Nick juz showed me an edited pic of the 10, 000 number on the counter (he's juz trying to hao lian he can use Photoshop). Haha. I'll noe if u've edited the pic one ok? So dun cheat. Ok lar, in case the 10000th person is some1 I dunno, I'll accept the next visitor whom I know. =P

Happy (belated) Bday to Jen!! (cum 5.6km & 10000 hits)

Happy belated bday to Jen!! I 4got to put this on my entry yesterday. Hope u like the camera! Rude is so swweeeeet! I hope u really gave him a kiss! =P

Anyway, for the moment I've walked 5.6km from office back home, =D

And my webbie has a total of 9663 hits!! I wanna learn from Xianzhi. The 10 000th person will get a free fsim (aka Fong Seng Ice Milo) from me!! Ok lar, if u dun want fsim, I treat u to any drink of $1 in value. Haha. Of cos that person muz be someone I know lar. I want a print screen of my blog as proof hor. I think no one is so bo liao like me...

XZ wanted a screen shot of his counter as a proof for his fsim, but his counter is so easy to counterfeit!! I went to do picture editing on the counter & I got this. Haha. I presume u all won't be so bo liao like me lar hor. =D And my counter is harder to counterfeit! Haha

4 nephews & 1 niece

My maternal cousins' children, 4 nephews & 1 niece -- Timothy (5 yrs old), Benjamin (3 yrs old), Jonah (2 yrs old), Kayla (2+ mths old), Brendon (1 mths old). All of em are suuuuper cute!! =D

Today is the 1st time all the 5 of em are together under 1 roof. Jonah & Kayla were in USA with Kia cos she went there to work for nearly 5 years. She juz came back on Thurs & is staying in Singapore for good, Gnet was so happy cos she can finally have her sister back in Singapore.

Jonah is quite talkative... like Timothy, haha. The 2 of em somehow reminds me of me & Gnet when we were young... cos Timothy is Chinese-speaking (like me) & Jonah is English-speaking (like Gnet). I rmb I had a super hard time communicating with Gnet when we were young cos my English was super bad. Haha.

Kayla somehow reminds me of my sis... cos both of em were the only ger when u look @ the cousins of ard their age. Luckily my sister has a sister, but Kayla only has a brother!! But actually come to think of it... these 5 4th generation kids/babies are not direct cousins!! Haha.

Now... I suddenly realised that as times goes by, younger generations get smaller in numbers. I can't imagine that in the future, (if I ever get married,) my children will only have a few maternal cousins (I don't expect my sister to give birth to a dozen...) & only 1 阿姨 (maternal aunty). MayB cos I grew up in a family whereby I'm close to the cousins on both sides of the family and also having lotsa relatives on both sides of the family. Think I've 30+ direct cousins in total.

The reason y I bold the word "direct" is cos I've seen some of my mother's cousin's sons/daughters, there was even 1 who was younger than me by 1 year & studied in TJ, and also my grandfather's cousin's grandchildren, who are already 40+ & I've to call her "jie jie" & her son who is 2 years older than me needs to call me aunty.... Family trees are so interesting. There was even a guy who is 1 year older than me & he has to call me "ah por", which means grandmother... I'm actually 2 generations older than him!! But that one is a v v distant relative, so distant I dunno wat's our relationship, haha.

Anyway I digressed. Now let's tok bout Timothy & Benjamin who are brothers. Both are v cute, but they've opp characters. Timothy is so so talkative while Benjamin, though @ the age of 3, doesn't talk @ all, cept sometimes to his parents. Kaizi has seek help from 2 doctors & both concluded that he's autistic. Come to think of it, I can see signs of him being autistic. He is really fantasized by some things that can be opened & closed: he likes to open & close the sliding doors @ Ah Mah's house & he likes to play with this toy car that can open & close. He'll also use his palms to hit his head or bang his head against an object of wall when he can't get what he wants or when he's frustrated. And most obvious of all, he doesn't talk. But luckily his is not a serious case, cos he still interacts with ppl.

Think I wanna go sleep already. Sian... tml is Mon, work again. N I think I'm getting fat... haven't done much exercise since I came back from Sri Lanka. So I've decided to walk back from work everyday, which I've measured to be approx 2.8km. Haha. I tried walking back on Thurs & I took 35min =P. Good exercise! Heh

My last anti-malaria pill

Yay! I juz ate my last anti-malaria pill. Say goodbye to sensitive skin!! =D

Frenz n luv

Was trying to move my ujournal over to blogger yesterday & managed to move ard 1 mth of entries only... Super sian... so managed to read thru some of the entries that I've made in ujournal. Reminds me of some things...

Did u have a situation whereby u & ur best/close/good fren fell in luv with the same person as u? If u've, would u have a fair competition with ur fren or would u give up? Wat happened to the frenship b/w u & that fren & the guy/gal u both like? Sth like this happened to me b4...

O (the guy) used to like J (the close fren of mine. PS: J != Jiali!! Haha) back in sec 1. N u noe lar, @ that time, guys are so childish -- they woo the ger that they like n shower the ger with gifts, and if the ger rejects em aft she receive the gifts, they'll say she's a bitch or watever is not a v good term on the ger. So when J rejected O time aft time, he started to dislike her during sec 2 & say things like, "To think I like J last time, ma jiu tat sai ah!" ("ma jiu tat sai" literally means "eyes pasted with shit")

N as u noe, humans are all cheap -- we'll not cherish something until we've lost it/we dun cherish things that are within our reach. J started to like O without telling any of us (in the grp of close frenz).

Within this period of time, I started to get close to O (ahem! as in frenship wise!) & @ the same time, I was rejected by the guy I liked. Was in v low mood cos I tot that guy liked me too & had high hopes lar. I was too naive at that time. Heh. And when most ppl juz fell out of luv, they'll try to move their attention to somebody else... and this situation applies on me. So... I kinda made myself like O. I used to be a person who can't really keep this kinda thing to myself, so I told my close frenz that I like O, close frenz including J.

J actually wrote me a letter aftwards. I stumbled upon this letter the other day when I was bored and I also realised that I kept ALL the letters that my frenz wrote to me. Haha. Ok I digressed. Anyway, extracts from the letter (word for word, 'cept for the names =P), words in square brackets are translation of the Chinese words...

"Dun mind mi saying tis butz...... u & O 好像是 [seems like] not at all possible leh! I noe itz mi fault dat mi told u 2 like him butz mi din noe u will take it 4 real leh! really!! u will like O I noe izz 迟早的事 [a matter of time] 'coz u 2 r really weli close! mi dun wanna bluff u butz...... mi dunno how 2 say 2 u...... Mi juzz have 2 confess dat mi also like O!"

..."mi only had 2 choices...... either 2 give him up or continue 2 fight with u 4 him! mi chose 2 give up! butz my heart juzz can't help liking him furter more! mi noe u stand more chance than mi 'cos u'r more close 2 him & u dun scold bad wordz. And furter more, u r a really gd gal. (At least butter than mi in character butz not in looks or 身才[figure, but she wrote 1 word wrongly... if u can read Chinese] (dun say mi BHB [buay hiao bai = boasting sth that u dun have]. Itz true! Nut swaning u!) Looks like tis time mi really have 2 give up 'cos he 不爽 [not happy with] mi!

..."if u really truly, madly, deeply, like him, mi wish u e best & mi juzz give up! maeB u r only havin' a crush ober him."

I think that's wat they call net language, too much IRC already, and @ that time, Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply" was v popular. Haha. Yah anyway, @ that time, I roughly guessed that J likes O b4 she admit, cos she keeps teasing him & doing things to get his attention. (I rmb we once sent him a prank snail mail to him cos J wanted to, haha) But I had a bad habit of liking some1 closer to me @ that time... =P I'm not a lesbian & O was the closest guy fren I had @ that time... so he suay lor, haha.

Although J keep insisting that she wanna give up in the letter, I know that she's trying to psycho me to believe that it's juz a small crush or askin me to give up. And I got quite angry over the part that she said her looks & figure is better than mine... It's kinda obvious about this fact. Anyone who's not blind can see that. I dun see the neccessity of putting that sentence in the letter.

It's a pity I didn't zap copies of my letters to my fren, cos I really 4got wat I replied J. Haha. So u've guessed it, I'm no longer in contact with J anymore. We didn't cut off contacts cos of O, but cos she changed into another person -- she started to chup gang, started to smoke, use all the foul languages, go Parkway everyday aft sch & not wanting to study. When I tried helping her, I realised it was too late. Aye! I suddenly rmb I wrote on her b4!! Hahaha. Pls go here. Ok lar, let u see her name no harm also, =P.

As for O, I also lost contact with him. Not cos I gave him up to J, but cos of sth stupid that happened... I dun feel like telling another story, haha. It ended up we quarrelled and nv tok to each other since, even when we take the same bus (which is like almost everyday). We were juz like strangers in the end lor. When I went to JC, I went out with Bingjia, Lisheng & Zhao Yong one of the days. We were in Tamp's Challenger when O he saw BJ 1st & shouted BJ's name. We all turned ard & saw him. I was surprised to see him & actually said a "Hi!" But that was the last time I saw him. Anyway, I think I only had a crush on O, but it was on and off over a period of roughly 1 year, until I liked another guy, =P.

No more story liao! My conclusion is, u shldn't promise ur fren that u'll give up the guy/gal cos u moz probably will break the promise & give false hopes to ur fren, unless...

1. the guy/gal hates u to the core [but u wouldn't have liked him in the 1st place, unless the story is like J & O or u dunno that he/she hates u]
2. u know that the guy/gal likes ur fren
3. the guy/gal is gay/lesbian [then ask ur fren to give up also, =P]
4. u know that the guy/gal likes ANOTHER person, other than u n ur fren [u shld also ask ur fren to give up]

Ok lar, I can't think of other reasons, haha. Put urself in the guy's/gal's shoes!! Luv is sth that can't be forced, but if u give up, u're like forcing the guy/gal towards ur fren! Imagine if u're the one who is being liked by 2 ppl @ the same time & u prefer A, but A is giving u up for the sake of B, u'll feel v angry rite?! I think u'll hate both of em in the end.

So to my frenz whom have told me that they'll give up (u noe who u r, haha), go face the wall & think bout wat I've juz said, haha.

Crappy mood today, that's y typed for more than 1 hour. 12.07am now, time to sleep!

石康军 - 黑夜过后 Jones Shi Kang Jun - Hei Ye Guo Hou

我是说真的 你如果累了
别犹豫 随时都能来找我
我不善言语 但愿意陪你
让你至少不孤单 渡过难眠的夜晚
不管夜多漫长
天终究会明亮

黑夜过後第一道阳光
是为了融化你心中的霜
闹过哭过当力气全耗光
发现你不过又爱了一场

黑夜过後的另一个早上
是最後一次和他说晚安
你要相信你比想像勇敢
逃离夜的捆绑奔向日出的方向(像夜会过天终究会再亮)

Cycling woes & feeling old

Went cycling with Aimei today morning. Had Mac breakfast for the 1st time ever since vacation started! So nice =D. Aft that started cycling lor. I think we r quite suay today. They had this triathlon today & they took away 1 direction of bicycle path for it... So in the end we had cycle & worry bout incoming traffic. And the worst part is we r amateur cyclists!! This is only my 3rd time cycling... We still need to cycle in S-shapes for a distance b4 we can cycle straight. So ppl u noe liao ah, dun invite me to night cycling... I'm still too young, I dun wanna die. Haha.

We tried cycling to Bedok Jetty but we didn't. We decided to turn back since it was nearly 1 hr later & we haven't reach Bedok Jetty. Aimei had a hard time cycling cos I think there was sth wrong with her bicycle's gear-changing switch (I dunno wat u call that... =P). I wanted to try exchanging bicycle with her but I can't cycle hers... it's too tall for me -_-.

We went Coffee Bean to sit down for some coffee aft cycling. While waiting for the coffee, I saw Siew Hua walking pass Coffee Bean & waved to her. With her, I saw Zheng Chang, then Wen Quan. Haha. I think that bunch of ppl are NYJC's choir alumni lar. Kinda funny cos I know em from different phases of my life. Siew Hua: O Week'04 (she's a counsellor), Wen Quan: O Week'03 (he's my OG mate), Zheng Chang: CCHSM choir (we used to call him 正常, which translates to "normal". But he's abit kee siao one, which means he's not normal, haha). Went library to borrow & return book then to Parkway to shop for a while b4 going home. Aimei had to carry this big bag of towels cos they were on 50% discount & her mum wanted her to buy. Haha.

Saw Jeremy Huang on the bus home & was chatting with him. He's going NTU's Aerospace Engin course. Sounds interesting sia! N he told me Shuzhan's going NUS Engin also. So many guys going Engin lor! Budden again.... 75% of the population in Engin are guys...

Aft resting for 2hrs @ home, went out again with my sis to a concert @ Bishan. The story goes: I wanted to go online to search for Jones Shi Kang Jun's (石康军) song on Thurs cos the song is quite nice (heard it over the radio). Then my sis asked me that nite, "Aye, have u heard of the newcomer by the name 石康军?" Apparently Jones was from CCHSM also & he was going back to the school for a concert on Fri, so my sis asked me if I wanna buy the CD. I was thinkin since can get autograph & the price is lower than that @ CD shops, I asked my sis to buy the CD. On Fri nite, my sis told me that her fren is a reporter (for Fri Weekly I think) & she interviewed Jones. His manager gave her 10 tix to the concert & asked her to bring some ppl with banners or board to support the singer.

So that's how I gotta go to the concert with my sis & her fren & her fren's frenz.... All were younger than me.. The next youngest was 19 years old, followed by 16 years old, 14, then 13. Taufik was to sing b4 Jones & he said sth like, "The next to come on stage is also a Singaporean & they even said that I'm having an affair with his wife..." When they heard "also a Singaporean", most of them already started chionging to in front of the fence already. Since I felt old (though they commented that I look like 18 years old, haha), I volunteered to sit back to take care of their belongings, while wondering wat Taufik means. Then I realised cos he sang the song "Me and Mrs. Jones" for Singapore Idol finals... Though I think I was abit slow in realising that, the youngsters didn't even take notice that Taufik said that.

I muz comment on the singers today. 1st to come out was Zhang Shan Wei (张善为) & his live performance was less than OK. He can't reach his falsetto parts well...

2nd to come out was Fiona Xie & they had this super corny part whereby they asked Zhang Shan Wei to choose the eyes, nose & lips (out of 3 choices) from the screen. Well... all the 3 body parts somehow belongs to Fiona Xie -__-... So they invited her to the stage & she sang... Play CD one lor... So damn obvious she was trying to 对嘴 (meaning mouthing the lyrics only). Well... she's juz a vase lar, dun really like her...

Next was Tay Peng Hui. Ok lar, @ least he sang live quite ok, and the thing is he sang live! Haha. Let's skip the next one cos she's a singer who sings oldies...

Then was Sly, followed by Taufik liao lor. Of cos they sounded quite good lar. Singapore Idol finalists lei!!

Jones was really good for a newcomer 'cos I've heard quite a few newcomers who couldn't really sing live (Eg: Stella, when she was still one, I dunno bout now though. And also FIR's Faye... she sounded like she has asthma). He reached his falsetto of the song 黑夜过后 v nicely. So ppl! Muz support this newcomer! Haha. My senior lei (ok lar, I nv see him b4 cos he's 4 years older)! I'll change the song on my blog to his soon.

Anyway, here's a photo I took with my sis on the bus to Bishan, haha. Find it quite nice lei. Then I realised... I think my eyes make me v ugly when I take photos... That's y with my sunglasses on I look nicer, haha.

Btw, u realised we both have dimples on both sides of the cheeks (ok... my left cheek was cut away...)? Though not v obvious lar, we had to smile real wide to have our dimples shown, haha.

For so many years we both noe that we have dimples, but we didn't noe who we inherited that from, until 1 fine day... I was teaching my tuition kid bout inheredity (4got the correct spelling...) of offsprings from parents and I saw my sis laughing when I got home. I was asking her, "Aye, u realised we both have dimples, but who is it from?" Then I told my mother to smile real wide and that's how we found out that we got the dimples from our mother. Haha.

Ok I digressed... Haha. Shall upload the photos when my sis's fren's fren develop the photos for my sis's fren. Oh! This sis's fren's fren is a pro photographer who shoots for Fri Weekly!! His camera is the kind that u havta turn the long set of lenses to focus on the object of shooting. I was askin him how much his camera costs & he told me including equipments, the whole set costs ard $1k!! *faints* And the camera is not a digital camera somemore, it's a film-camera!! Imagine how much a similar dig cam will cost!
