A song by Khalil Fong 方大同. A talented singer who composed some pretty good music.

You can visit Sing K Lyricz for the pin yin lyrics for this song and other songs as well. Why the hard sell? Because I'm one of the administrator but my cousin brother who is the one doing most of the technical work! Good work bro and sorry for my lack of contribution ;P

We all have our little stories to share when we looked back at 2008.

I've changed jobs at the 11th hour when everybody is anticipating their bonuses; Befriends some kind souls from facebook and believe that our friendship will grow over the years; Stumbled upon interesting bloggers who can write masterpieces and take magnificent shots; Signed up as volunteer with World Vision Malaysia; Visited Singapore for the first time and many more.


this is how you should wash your hair as demonstrated by my cousin, she is so going to kill me for posting up this :P

Here's the result of the resolutions I made for 2008:

#1: To pay off my credit card balance and spend less [ mission failed ]
The balance is still there but I'm slowly reducing my spending habit.

#2: To lose 10kg [ mission failed ]
Failed at this totally! I've lose a few pounds but still not enough to achieve the weight I desired!

#3: To reduce on my meat intake [ partially accomplished ]
It's not like I'm a 100% vegan because I still like the meaty feeling when I'm chewing one, but I've reduced on my daily intake.

#4: To learn a new skill [ mission failed ]
When I resoluted this, I was thinking about martial arts type of skill but I'm not determine enough to accomplish this. Absolutely my fault :(

#5: To send my parents to China for a holiday [ pending accomplishment ]
Because of the Sichuan earthquake and the tainted milk incidents, they refused to step foot in China for the moment ... not my fault right?

#6: To go for an overdue holiday with my best friends [ pending accomplishment ]
I tried to arrange but they are not as keen as I am. One is married enjoying her honeymoon, one rather go and hug her boyfriend in Shanghai and one more is busy with her life. Also not my fault right? o.O

#7: To read more books [ partially accomplished ]
I'm determined to read 2 books every month but in 2008, I've only read a total of 8 books with various titles from non-fiction to self-improvement.

#8: To keep my current mobile phone (SE500i) until 2009! [ mission accomplished ]
I passed this with flying colors! Err I think the Sony Ericsson's C905 is already out in the market, no? ;P


For 2009, I'm not going to have any resolutions. I wanted to see what surprises life is waiting for me ahead and how far I can go without any written commitments.

Everybody is anticipating 2009 will be a tough year but I believe we can overcome the challenges with a positive attitude. Let's do it folks!


So ... 再見 (goodbye) 2008 and 你好 (hello) 2009 =^..^=

My 2 centsMe Myself n I

Let's start this entry with a taste of Singapore.


The original Hainanese Chicken Rice - this might look norm but it's really good, especially the aroma of the rice with the smooth chicken meat ... so much better than the typical chicken rice!


Hokkien Prawn Noodle - a personal favorite when I first tasted it :P


Popiah - i like the Malaysian version better


Singapore Char Kway Teow - i never tasted a sweet version of char kway teow until now and it tastes funny and I can't finish the noodles


Singapore Laksa - full of coconut milk flavor but lack the ummphh of chili paste


Fried Carrot Cake - quite plain to my taste


I heard the Singaporeans love japs food and we tried some of the ramen at this shop near Orchard Road. Not many seats and choice of food but they said the soup is boiled for 8-hours without any MSG.

My Singaporean friend also invited me for lunch at Sushi Tei at Ngee Ann City. Love the food there and it's reasonable too if you are earning Singapore dollar! (thanks Chris for lunch)


We had our Christmas dinner at Brewerkz, facing the Clarke Quay waterfront, highly recommended by my cousin.


Crab Pasta - not sure what is the greeny thick sauce but this is too filling if consume alone


BBQ Pork Ribs - this is good stuff but need to be shared


Sausages with mash potato - not very interesting, taste wise

Have a Cuppa
When my cousin told us that she's bringing us to have nice coffee when we are down in Singapore, I welcomed the idea with excitement.

I feel in love with tcc (the coffee connoisseur) when I took that sip of Choco Rummin'. They have variety of coffee selection and food. Too bad I didn't get the chance to visit their outlet for a second time >.< (Gerald, next time ya)


tcc outlet in Plaza Singapura


Iced Kaffello Latte - iced coffee with coffee jelly


Azuki Coffee Cooler - coffee with a layer of special red beans


Choco Rummin' - bliss of chocolate cookie laced with golden rum and espresso


The Deep Blue Pack - a selection of seafood served with a tangy mayo dip, this is perfect for sharing


Spice Chic - pieces of fried chicken fillet, nothing spicy about the meat ... not recommended


Another interesting coffee joint in Singapore is the Coffee Club. Before our departure, we tried out their coffee and dessert at Vivocity.


Macademia Nut Toffee - interesting combination but I can't feel the macademia taste


Iced rambutan - nothing special about this drink, taste more like lychee smoothies


Muddy Mud Pie - this is actually cappuccino and chocolate ice cream covered with oreos

A special thanks to harryberry who provided me a whole list of what and where to eat in Singapore!

Shop, Shop, Shop

The shopping spree was tiring but I think we boosted up the Singapore economy with the rest of the shoppers in that few days of visit. In total, we bought 7 pairs of Charles & Keith on sale heels which you can't find in the Pavilion KL outlet. A number of shirts from G2000 at S$29.00 per piece and some other stuff.


This is all I bought - 1 pair of sunnies, bag, shoe and a crystal tee all under S$150. Nice? Please say yes ^^

With this final entry on my Singapore experience, I conclude in 4 words: I. WILL. BE. BACK!

We planned to have a nice brunch at Vivocity before heading to Sentosa Island. But when we reached the counter, all we saw can be described in 4 words: "people mountain people sea" (人山人海), literally means too many people.


you can purchase tickets at Vivocity to the different attractions/activities


this is the middle section of the long long queue

Sentosa Island
We skipped the counter and managed to buy the S$3.00 train tickets. When we reached Sentosa, we have to queued again for 30 mins for the tram to fetch us to the Dolphin Lagoon.


S$22 for Dolphin Lagoon and Underwater World but if you are a Singaporean or PR, you are entitled to a 25% discount. And if you are neither any of the above, then pay the price in full.


By the time we bought our tickets, it was already packed with all the front seats filled up for the Dolphin show. We have no choice but to drag our own plastic chair under the shade and seat behind the audience and make sure our butt stick to our chair, if not it will be gone with a snap of fingers! When the show stared, we were standing throughout as we can't view from our seat.


the crowds


the sun was out in full force ... evidence shown in the above pic, no she's not from middle east but related to me ;P

The 30 mins performances were definitely worth the wait by the adorable, intelligent and charming pink dolphins *clap clap*




Some lucky volunteers who performed hula hoop in front of the audience got a reward of being kissed by one of the dolphin. If you want to be kissed, make sure you are seated right in front to catch the presenter attention or you can call me and I'll arrange something for ya >_*


They are definitely into sun bathing ...


They too ... but in a sari under umbrellas o.O

After the dolphin show, we decided to skip the Underwater World because it was getting late and we don't want to miss our Night Safari adventure.

Night Safari
This premier night zoo houses over 900 animals of 135 exotic species in eight zones re-created to simulate geographic zones like the Southeast Asian rainforest, African savanna, Nepalese river valley, South American pampas and Burmese jungle. Strike out on your own along the walking trail or relax in a tram ride. Admission ticket at S$22.00 without the tram ride or S$32.00 comes with a 30 mins ride.


When we reached Night Safari by 7.30 pm, we were advised to queue early for the Creatures of the Night Show which starts at 8.30 pm. As usual, the queue is way too long. What to do? Get in line lah.

I didn't manage to snap any pictures because we are not allow to use flash as this might blind some of the animals in the long run. We are looking forward to this show and feel excited when we saw the first animals emerged from it's habitat. But then drops of rain starts to fall from the sky and getting heavier every minute and the show has to be canceled!

What? We waited 30 mins for a 5 mins show? Oh man ... this really sucks! And there is noway we are going to queue for the 9.30 pm show as the entrance is already packed with people! So we headed to the tram ride together with the rest of the people and kids.



We queued up for 1 hour for this!

Each animal exhibit is adopted by an organization or individual. During the ride, we saw a half asleep lion who probably thinks "another bunch of jokers", herds of elephants, rhinos, a Malayan tiger (who was adopted by Tiger Balm!), hyena, giant anteater and many more.


At the end of the ride, it was all worth it. By the time all this over and we reached my cousin's place by 11.30 pm, we headed straight to the 24 hr McD outlet to rejuvenate ourselves with food! I think the amount of time and energy spent queuing at Sentosa and Night Safari can make up for the year's quota!

Who said Singaporeans are kiasu? You should take a look at the tourist from India at the Night Safari! They push you, cut queue, run passed a barricade like a bunch of escaped inmates (we nearly have a stampede!), step on your foot without apologizing and demand unreasonably. Because the show was canceled due to the rain, these bunch of people who bought admission tickets without the tram ride demanded to ride on one when the service staff informed them politely they are not allow to do so. They refused to budge from the gate and cause all of us to wait and wait and wait. It's insane, really! Finally they gave up after all the shouting in their mother tongue English accent. Like DUH!


Next and final post on Singapore ... food, drink & shop

I'll write about my Singapore experience in 3 parts. Yeah, I've that much to blog about for the 4 days/3 nites pleasure trip.


Me, sister and cousin boarded a coach in front of Corus Hotel at 9.00 am and arrived in Singapore Harbour Front by 2.00 pm on Christmas day.


The double-deck coach was comfortable with good seats, a pillow if you want to be a sleeping beauty waiting for Prince Ah Beng to rescue you, Subway sandwiches and coffee/tea of your choice. The only disappointed is their selection of movies. It sucks! Luckily I had my iPod and a good book with me :)


To get around Singapore, you just need to familiarize yourself with the MRT routes. Get yourself one of those EZ-link card and you can have unlimited rides on MRT/buses, to buy food and more (sometimes I wonder if Malaysia will ever catch up, no?).


Friends already pre-warned me that Singapore will be packed during Christmas.


I knew Orchard Road will have a human traffic jam but this is not what I had in mind o.O


You literally can't move very much in this situation.


People everywhere ... tourist and locals.


You can't even stop for a second to admire the decorations as people are pushing you around :(


Along Orchard Road, can't remember which building


Takashimaya Shopping Centre (TSC)


In front of Paragon entrance


Inside Paragon

My cousin sister said the Christmas deco this year is nothing to shout about but for me who never been to Singapore until now, I think there are some pretty impressive decorations.


I'm very grateful for my cousin, Siew Leng and her best friend, Karen for allowing us to accommodate at their place and took us around Singapore. A warm hug and big THANK YOU babes, for everything.

Also not forgetting my 2 Singaporean friends, Chris & Gerald for their hospitality when I agreed to meet up. Thanks guys for lunch and coffee and offered me your mobile phone when mine run out of credit! It's my pleasure to meet you both and 'see ya' on MSN (=^_^=)


Up next ... Sentosa Island and Night Safari.

This year I'll be celebrating Christmas with my sisters and friends in Singapore. This is the first time I'm stepping onto the soil in the country down south and breathing (hopefully) a less polluted air (Singapore is not on my die-die must-go-visit-country list if you must know).

My cousin has moved to the land of Ah Bengs in August and I don't have to pay for pricey budget hotel in Geylang! So, Sentosa Island, Dolphin Lagoon, Night Safari, Orchard Road and hainanese chicken rice ... here I come :D


So have a blessed Christmas folks, wherever you are whatever you do ... be jolly!

Pepper Lunch(ペッパーランチ Peppaa-ranchi) is a popular japanese "fast-steak" restaurant franchised in Tokyo. There are over 200 restaurants in Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Singapore, USA, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines.

It has finally arrived at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur recently.

Beef from Australia and New Zealand, Norwegian Salmon, Japanese Curry are all seasoned with freshly ground black pepper and served on a metal hot plates, heated to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 Celsius). The meat can be eaten rare or well done, depending on the your preference.


Don't touch the plate! No kidding!


3 easy steps to cook it, you don't need a chef to do it


Combo Salmon & Chicken
The salmon is good but the chicken lack some chicken taste.


Combo Cut Steak & Hamburger
The hamburger is excellent but I think I've overdone on the steak.


Total bill for 2 person including soft drinks. Not exactly cheap for lunch but we had this for dinner ;P

For more info on their menu selection, visit Pepper Lunch Singapore English website as the original website is in Japanese.

This morning I woke up feeling great.

The sky is clear with enough clouds and rays of sunshine. Ah ... the beauty of nature.

The train for once is punctual and have ample place to stand during peak hours (err chinese new year holiday already here meh?)

The cabs was lining up when I arrived at the station (a rare sight).

The morning breakfast of caramel macchiato turns out perfect and the raisin bread melts in my mouth.

Bumped into my boss while having lunch alone and he paid for it :)


I was born on this date, on a certain year (don't ask, I'll not let you know the 'secret') .

A colleague told me that she won't live past 69. How does she knows? She consulted some palm reader. I can sensed her unhappiness when she said it. The look of sorrow was not hidden well behind a smile.

How do you expect your life to out? Are you one of those people who will pay a palm reader to tell you how to live your life? Or do you want to discover the adventure along the way? I personally prefer the latter option, definitely more exciting. Everybody passed through stages in their life experiencing ups and downs, joys and tears. Me no exception, this is how I see it ...


It's good if you excel academically but never stop learning no matter at what age (just so that you know, my results never associate with flying colors). Gosh there are so little I know and so much to learn.


Never discriminate, learn to forgive and forget, and accept criticism. To respect every race for their culture and beliefs. We are all citizen of the world and I pray that one day we will live in a harmony and peaceful world without throwing shoes.


Slaving ourselves for 10 straight hours everyday is not the way. Go for a break/holiday when you feel work is suffocating you. And for goodness sake, try to cut down on the working hours once in a while will ya! (when your colleagues/boss knock-off at 6.00 pm for happy hours and you are still calculating the taps on your keyboard ... this is not a good sign!)


Yes, we work our butt off to sustain our lifestyles, but contributing back to the community and help in our little ways (time/money) will make us a happier person.


Our family is not to be taken for granted. Parents are brought up from a different era and they don't see things the way we do. Patience and understanding with a lot of love will make the home the warmest place on earth.


We don't need to have a lot of friends. Just enough to warm our hearts and stand by our side (I can never thank my dear friends enough)


Never stop searching for your soul mate (straight or otherwise is your choice and I respect that), he/she is out there. A person who willing to share your joy and sorrows and to stand by your side even if the sky tumbles down. Love each other unconditionally with trust and respect.


I don't believe in following trends blindly. Each of us are born with a unique set of DNA, which includes own identity and personality. It's not a welcome sight to see the next 5 person you meet on the street wearing the almost identical outfit! err quintuplets?


Do you have a dream? We all should have dreams. Who knows? It might come true ... remember this 3 words: LAW. OF. ATTRACTION. (mine is backpack in different countries, experience different culture)


Don't invite worries as your sleeping partner or you might as well stay awake all night. Read a book and have a good sleep. (please don't disturb moi, I need to zzz ...)


There's a PC game called 'Diner Dash' and it's about a waiter who dash from one table to another serving customer and you score according to the completed levels. But please don't be a "human dash". Stop for a moment, sit back, observe the surrounding and see if we miss out anything. (anyone interested in a cup of Starbucks coffee will know my number ya)


Signing up for gym membership is good if you are really into exercise and not just to parade your latest gear and make eye contact with that gym instructor. A healthy lifestyle balance between moderate exercise and healthy food (and it's absolutely okay to indulge in the doctor-don't-approve-kind-of-food once a while, detox later).


Okay, enough of my life as I see it for now. I'll be heading home for a warm meal with my family tonight, reason being ... I don't have a date on my birthday! Can you believe it?

December ... my favorite month in the whole year. Workload is usually less during this time, the approaching of Christmas and the gift selection for close friends and a long overdue much deserve holiday break (oh did I mention my birthday is also in December ;P)

Recent years, I never receive any birthday present from my friends. Not because they want to save $$$ but we agreed to use the money for a more meaningful purpose. We have opt to used the $$$ to buy gifts for our World Vision sponsored child or donate to a charity. We only need to spend quality time over meal to catch up on our busy lives.


World Vision's gift catalogue gives people the opportunity to buy meaningful gifts for friends and family, whilst meeting the needs of impoverished children and families. Whether it is for Christmas, an anniversary or a birthday, your loved one would appreciate a good deed done in his/her name.


“Give a Gift. Change a Life.” 送上希望·改变生命

How it works:-
1) Pick a gift for a loved one.
2) Send a gift card, telling your loved one about the special gift that you bought in his/her honour.
3) Your gift will be delivered to children/families in need, bring smiles all round!


Among the gifts features are cows, goats, organic fertilizer, rice, biogas cooking units, school uniforms, books, medical insurance, playground sets and sewing machines. For big items, several persons can opt to share in the same gift.


For more information, please visit the official website here or drop by at the Gift of Hope booth at the Bangsar Shopping Centre, every weekend from 10.00 am - 10.00 pm in December.

The year ahead will be a challenging time for all of us but I believe giving is much more meaningful than receiving.

World VisionCommunity

In days of our lives ...

We made mistakes.

We screwed up.

We created a mess.

We pissed off others with our attitude.

We acted like a jerk or bitch at one point of time.

I did all of the above.

Nobody is saint. Nobody is perfect.

Life is too short to harp on unhappy moments or hate that someone. You have the right to choose who to be your friend. If they are not on the list, then perhaps it's meant to be.

Just let go and move on. Don't keep the hatred. Not worth it.

So, if I ever offended YOU in anyway ... please accept my most sincere apology.

I am truly sorry.

God Bless Everyone.

Short TalkMe Myself n I

"Endless Story" is the first single released by Yuna Ito and based on the movie Nana in which Yuna played the character Reira Serizawa.

A personal favorite ^^



Lyrics
If you haven't changed your mind
そばにいてほしいよ　Tonight
強がることに疲れたの
幼すぎたの
Every time I think about you baby
今なら言える　I miss you
It's so hard to say I'm sorry

たとえば誰かのためじゃなく
あなたのために　歌いたいこの歌を
終わらないstory　続くこの輝きに
Always　伝えたい　ずっと永遠に

Memories of our time together
消さないでこのまま　don't go away
あたたかく溶けだして　確かめるの
優しさのしずく　この胸にひろがってく
切ないほどに　I'm missin' you
重ねた手　離さないで

たとえば叶うなら　もう一度
あなたのために　歌いたいこの歌を
終わらないstory　絶え間ない愛しさで
tell me why　教えてよずっと永遠に

たとえば誰かのためじゃなく
あなたのために　歌いたいこの歌を
終わらないstory　続くこの輝きに
Always　伝えたい　ずっと永遠に

After 1 week at my new job (well 5 days to be exact), here's some update for the good folks back 'home' at my old company.

Work wise, I'm still trying to familiarize myself with the job and understand how the company operates. But what I wanna share is the working environment there.

Folks ...


This is my workstation. My back is facing out so everybody will see what am I doing besides work which includes brushing the hair, touch-up my lips with colors and check out blogs :( But the good thing is I've requested to be moved to more privacy desk and my boss agreed to it! *yay*


oh how i miss my old desk o.O


I am back to using Windows OS after being an expert with Mac and guess what? It's the great Windows Vista which sucks! I've to like wait for ages (literally) before a page can be loaded! Talk about performance! gawd!


Another culture shock is ... when I'm so used to a flat screen but now I've a titanic desktop which occupies half of my table. Most of the guys used their own notebook including my boss and the rest of the staff have to put up with the bulky thing which should be placed at a Jurassic Park Museum if there's a section for PCs! I've a strong feeling only me are disturbed by it and not the rest ... hmm, maybe it's time I get my own notebook.


There are some interesting new colleagues. A bunch of young grads, a crazy workaholic who just joined for like 2 months ago and thus sold his life to the company (I really pity the wife ler), a pretty young director who dress like one of the models in vogue mag and an editor who sings after he completed his work ;P


Can someone tell me why there are bitches (pardon my language here) in every company? Seriously, why do some women behave this way? Do they really think they owned the whole world beneath their noisy stiletto? Duh! I'll keep out of their way and hopefully they will leave me alone.

Well ... this is just a short update to satisfied your curiosity. More is on da way ya. Cheers!

My sister's boyfriend who went to Bangkok couple of weeks ago gave us 3 packets of the famous Thai sticky/glutinous rice upon his return. I was excited until I realized that I've requested PreciousPea to buy me a packet from her Krabi trip (oh no, how can I forget that).

Then my mom told me that there's a packet of sticky rice still lying somewhere in the kitchen (this was also from PreciousPea who got it from Chatuchak market months ago when she went to Bangkok!). Okay, in total I have 5 packets of sticky rice in my procession o.O

I've no choice but to quickly kick start my sticky rice mission with Loh Mai Kai (glutinous rice with chicken). I tried this before, recipe is here if you are interested :)


Previously I used a pot to mixed the seasoning with rice but this time I used the wok instead. I find it easier this way. I added some olive oil to the wok before I pour the cooked rice in. Then I mixed all the seasoning in a bowl before pouring in the rice. Stir evenly and this is really hard work because the rice tends to ... well stick together.

Place the rice on top of the ingredients and cover the lid of each container before steaming it again (the containers are courtesy of a friend, thanks Babe).


The end result :)

Now folks, any idea what to do with the rest of the rice (4 packets left) ... to er get me out of this sticky situation?

Friday afternoon. As I've few days left to chill out before the start of my new job, a friend decided to invite me for lunch and we went to Pick N' Brew at 1 Utama. I've never been to this place although have heard it from her and it runs by him.


Irish cream Frappélicious - smooth and not too sweet to my liking


Oven baked potato skin with beef bacon - a yummy appetizer


Pesto and sun dried tomato with (optional) added grilled seafood with a choice of your pasta - I picked fettucini but i feel that the taste is quite bland (err I'm a salty person). If you don't add anything, the pasta only comes with ... well, pasta. A bit pricey for just plain pasta, I think.

My friend had beef cheeseburger and Green Tea Frappélicious. After the meal, we went to have some singing and swaying exercise at the nearest karaoke before I left for my farewell dinner :)

Today is the last day at my current job. I am truly leaving with mixed feelings; excited about my new career opportunity but sad to be leaving so many wonderful friends and colleagues. But I guess when the right time comes, we have to move on and accept new challenges ahead.

I learned a great deal and worked with many people with whom I am sure I will remain friends for a long time. I hope that my new job will give me such rewarding experiences and supportive friends.

I shall continue my journey alone from here. Thank you for the wonderful years together friends =^_^=

I don't know who labeled Singaporean as a bunch of kiasu people? Perhaps Singaporean themselves, I don't know.


I love the PCK show ^^

Jokes on Ah Beng culture are making their rounds everyday but those Ah Beng who thinks they are not part of the ah beng's community is actually more ah beng than the real Ah Bengs! get me?

I noticed that Malaysian and people from the other side of the globe are embracing on the kiasusm syndrome, no matter what color, race or which mother tongue they speak at home. Here are some pretty obvious scenario:-

Free lah

(Source: The Star)

Just take a look at people queueing up for the "buy 1 free 1 cake" promotion by some cake house couple of days back. These people started the queue some 3 hours before the promotion starts at 11.00 am? Not only they caused the whole street to jammed up with illegal parking but they can't wait to stuff themselves with flour and sugar mixed together! How much can you eat anyway? Cheesecake some more? I can't even finish 1 slice for goodness sake!

Pump It

They jammed up the road and petrol stations the day before Government announce price increase (may I suggest to our Gov to keep it a top secret on future price increase announcement until 11.55 pm prior to doomsday).

Don't they realize that instead of saving money, they are actually burning more fuel and wasting time by being kiasu? Nobody like to have fuel price increase but if it happens, we have to accept the fact and do adjust our spending lah!


Quote my dad: "Even if you pump now, it is not going to last very long unless you totally abandon your car and I ain't going to waste my time and petrol to queue for petrol". Well said dad, well said!

I Believe I Can Fly

The 'Now Everyone Can Fly' company offers affordable air tickets so that everyone can fly. The only disadvantage of course is you need to be the 'first-in-line' to grab a seat unless you paid for express boarding. Everybody and their mother-in-law will start to form a line when they heard the first announcement about their flight.

Even when the announcement is on flight delay. The problem with these people is that they won't budge from the queue not even when the flight crew advised passengers to take a seat and wait! They rather stand so that the next kiasu fella won't jump queue from the side!


And when the plane finally arrived, they will race as if in a marathon hoping to pick the best seat. Then the airbus landed on ground, they will start getting up from their seat and pull down their 20kg luggage and can't wait to get off the plane before it comes to a complete stop! Gawd!

Multi-Talented

I do understand that as parents, they want to give the best in their ability to their kid and groom them up to be somebody they are proud (and show) off. But to enroll them in 10 different kind of activities besides school is really absurd! Can you imagine, the poor kid has to learn music, ballet, kung fu, tennis, swimming and God knows what else is there besides tons of homework everyday?


Come on ... give the kid a break! Unless of course he/she shows some natural-born talent in one of the classes, I think it's only wise to let them enjoy their childhood and go with the flow. Don't force them to be who you think they should be in order to earn your love. At school, I'm not the smartest kid and I don't earn a high-flying salary now but I turn out okay, as a person.

I Got It First

These are kids/teens/adults who naturally inherited the kiasu DNA. Can you believe it that they actually camped out to buy a book featuring some specky wizard? My question is this: are you going to fall apart and vanish from this earth if you don't read it immediately after it has been released?

I can pity you if it's free food but this? *shaking head* The same goes to those who camped out for a PS3 or the Anya Hindmarch's I'm Not A Plastic Bag bag o.O


If you can afford to spend the money and time doing those stuff, why not do something more beneficial like help out children who don't get an opportunity in basic education? Together we can help build a better world for these children by sponsoring a child through World Vision. Thank you.


The last time I checked, we do live in a civilized world. So please ... behave like one.

Justin's 側田 new song. I'm practicing this for my next karaoke session :)



Lyrics
逐晚倒數為見你準備 願你快點又與我一起
寂寥足足一個月 由電話減少距離
而偏偏竟不知怎說起

是太想念你 超過了預期
只想可擁著你 然後吻你 讓你驚喜
由這一分鐘我一生就只有你
明日縱使不堪 阻不到我用心愛你

讓我終於都明瞭 明白你比生死重要
連話語 也沒法盛載得起

I'll give my life to be near you in every way
For I have nothing left to be here on this earth today

讓我終於不動搖 這改變因你
原諒我卻試過傷害你

逐秒擴張 惦記你滋味
合上眼睛像與你一起

為何分開一個月
如像孤島給隔離
尋不到 飛得走的客機

是太想念你 超過了預期
張開手保護你
遊歷世界 讓你驚喜
由這一分鐘我一生就只有你
明日縱使不堪 阻不到我用心愛你
讓我終於都明瞭 明白你比生死重要
連話語也沒法盛載得起

I'll spend my life here beside you in every way
For I have nothing left to be here on this earth today

讓我終於不動搖 這改變因你
如若你欠信我的力氣

Have A Little LaughMeow-Mi

Two weeks ago I placed an order with MOO on my custom made minicards. They finally arrived all the way from London.

The first time I encountered this product, is from this babe, who printed who else but her two precious doggies on her minicards. So for the fun of it, I also ordered mine (^_^)

It comes in a box of 100 minicards and you can choose the images of your choice.


my choice ... kitteh, sammi, doggie, lavender and blooming sakura


details on the back of the card ... sorry phone number has been blocked on this image :P

Who needs to give out boring name cards when you can get creative with this! Folks, you will get one when I meet you ^^
