Blogging Memories...

2009-09-15T12:59:00.065+08:00

With much freer time due to the completion of my assignment and examination, I was actually browsing around my hardcore blogger friend's blog and also my personal blog...

Hardcore Blogger = those that blogged 3 to 5 years and above, sadly i am not :(

I am not reading their recent post but every post wrote between 3 to 5 years ago... which is between 2004 to 2006...

Every of my hardcore blogger friend seems so like this.. so like that..so anyhow.. all the sudden.. I wanna laugh out loud at some of their wordings..:D

They used to be much more carefree then they are now...

Most of them are now deeply burden by their studies and their commitments to the state that ...they rarely blogs nowadays and seems to have lost themselves via the judgment and expression of their recent posting...

They tend express about their burden and family problems nowadays....

Rather then those funny thoughts and events they experienced when they were younger...

I always thought blogging is a way that we could naturally express ourselves at that moment of life...

So that when we look back at it many years later we would laugh at our foolish thoughts and aims we used to have...

I have achieve the objective i always agreed on as above...with additional thoughts as below..

It seems like base on their wordings and expression, they seems to be much more carefree, much more out of the line such as blogging their experiences of getting scolded, never attend school, pants never zip and the funniest one is fall down into the drain...

Memory is a funny thing, it seems like happened before... clearly you remember it.. but when you step back and look at it clearly, it can make you feel emotional...

Looking at the things around me, should i said...we used to be happier in the past?

Lets look at this positivity, because Life goes on and we will experience new objectives and events :)

The Time Traveler's Wife...

2009-09-14T13:08:00.000+08:00

It takes a lot to truly love someone and give in everything for someone you love... it takes even more if that person you love will sort of disappear in front of you all the sudden and will only be back in a few hours or even a few weeks later...

He was able to travel in time back to his past hundreds and hundreds of time to watch the traffic accident which didn't kill him but ended the life of his beloved mum without able to do anything to save his mum but watch her pass away tragically ...

Henry DeTamble time traveling instinct beyond his personal control and always happen all the sudden might have destroyed his opportunity of building a work career but it also helped him to meet the girl of his life...

Met him at the age of 6 years old during a personal picnic, the girl had deeply fall in love with him when Clare Abshire was just a child...

She knows everything about him and most of their met about are during the traveling events... until when she was 23 years old she got a clue back from the past that he would be working in the library and there comes a real life actual age meet up and encounter...which eventually leads to marriage..

Even during marriage ceremonies, a lot of excitement cause by his sudden disappearances had cause surprise and nervousness by her close friends who knows about it and her parents who was so surprised that he aged so much all the sudden...

After marriage, there are times Clare Abshire felt very much alone by Henry DeTamble sudden disappearance everytime..but no matter the challenges both of them met, their hearts are true to each other and they always patch up once an interesting event such as able to remember the future opening lottery numbers which allows them to pocket million of dollars instantly.

They used the money they won to purchase Clare Abshire's dream house.. which allows Clare Abshire to do drawings at one apartment of their house and another was for their personal living and gathering of friends...

Even to have a baby together was so difficult that she had miscarriage 6 times due to the time traveling instinct genes of the baby until the moment his husband decided proceed with vasectomy, in order to prevent her from further pain... but this didn't prevent her from getting pregnant again when she have an encounter with his past after the incident.

This time she really get pregnant and successfully gave birth to Alba... she was also carrying the same traveling instinct genes which medically called 'Chrono-Displacement' but was much better then his father as she was trained to control the location which would be at in events of sudden time traveling..

Location is a problem for his father Henry DeTamble because he couldn't control both time and location and always appears without clothing, this continuity of time traveling made him amputated and eventually death when he was traveling back to 1984 all the sudden in a woods of snow and was shot instantly by Clare's brother before transform back to present and death at the age of 43 during chirstmas eve when Alba was just 5 years old...

This is one of the most touching movie story line of the year... its now showing on the cinemas .. so do catch this movie.. no regrets :)

It's hard being left behind. I wait for Henry, not knowing where he is, wondering if he's okay. It's hard to be the one who stays. - Clare

Weekends...

2009-09-14T11:35:00.004+08:00

Firstly I wanna let my dear know..

'This is the last chance, but i do love her very much'

I met up my dear on friday night at her workplace many things happened, her cousin did something that affects everyone...

No matter how fierce they are.. they do care for her... which is why they are paying so much effort and attention on her this time and I totally stand behind them... i feel sad for her but also feel she is blessed with so many people wanting to help her at the point she still might not be mature enough to know what's right and dangerously wrong...

I hope she will learn from it and change... without advancing to a dangerous point of no return and regret, when damages and scar are already done..

Thereafter the incident, my dear went to my house to stay overnight. Nothing much happened but we always ended up closer to each other emotionally after 2 full days of being together...

We went to Zoo...a place of our memory, we last went 3 years ago trying to re-link and re-capture that promise and feel that made us together.. for 3 years and 5 months.. there are some changes at the Zoo, especially at the Kids World section and we also visited Ah Meng restaurant and his memorial statue..

Ah Meng is another name in my mind since I was a kid.... just like Micheal Jackson..many have pass away one by one.. I felt so down at times thinking about it..

After leaving the Zoo ... we went to Lot 1 shopping center actually to publish the photos we took at the Zoo..but instead my dear brought me a wallet too as she notice that my wallet's coin pouch was having holes and my coins is like keep dropping out the moment i open my wallet...without my knowing...thanks a lot to dear...thereafter we went back home that night and fall asleep at 9plus..

On Sunday morning, we went McDonald's and she had hotcakes with sausage while i just had a light breakfast of sausage muffins and ice cream cone... thereafter we went back.. she fall asleep once again while I am assembling my recycling items which i collected over the past 2 months and went out with my mum to sell them off to the recycling dealers and had my lunch with my mum...

In the afternoon, after she woke up... we went down to city area for a walk...walk pass ION orchard, Wisma, Hereen, Center point, Plaza Singapura and finally The Grand Cathay for our movie as i explained above...

This experience made us closer, I never felt so close to you for a very long time... thanks for the wallet you gave me..

I will give you a very nice birthday present in return... :)

Hubstation...

2009-09-14T10:13:00.070+08:00

I manage to purchase a StarHub Hubstation box at a promotional price on August 2008 with 2 years contract, that promotion was the last promotion that StarHub allows Hubstation box to be purchased rather then temporary rental...

As a replacement to my Pacific Internet Broadband it also provided me an additional option to enjoy and record cable TV programs as part of the functions provided inside the Box...

It might not be as fast as other broadband plans, but at very least it provided me free internet usage and 3 basic groups cable TV programs at a very affordable price...

And now StarHub have announced that they have made an extension of the free Internet usage broadband until 31 December 2010, an additional year extension...

My contract expires on August 2010 and any extension period beyond that would meant that I am able to use Starhub Internet broadband for free even without a subscription plan...

Economy are bad and salary are affected due to this crisis..

Another way to save a little bit more of money.... :)

Secondary Days...

2009-09-11T10:36:00.026+08:00

A picture said a thousands words...that's me when I was 15 years old...

Standing at the middle row and the 3rd guy from left, wearing specs.. face around around..smiling that's me :)

Unlike secondary school nowadays, where class photo are taken every year and DVD are burn out every now and then for collection of class photo of the entire school and any video capture of school concert such as teacher's day, racial harmony, youth day, national day, CCA orientation day.. etc..

Those days when I am studying in secondary are very simple and this is exactly my ONE and ONLY class photo in the entire 4 years of my secondary education...

Not sure about other secondary school those days, but such occurrences definitely happens in my school..

I tried to recall back, how this photo was taken. It was one fine day when lessons are as usual when I was in secondary three in year 1999... all the sudden we are called to assemble downstairs and we are told to walk towards the new school building which was buildup and completed in order for the school to proceed with single session between secondary 1 to secondary 4....

Our form teacher was also called all the sudden to take this picture...one of my most respected teacher in my education life... Ms Eunice Ng...

This picture was taken with only 27 students and actually we have 32 in the class...some ran away to elsewhere.. some didn't attend school...everyone is young before and they have their trouble making and attention seeking days....

The photographer have no time to waste as the entire school consist of thousands of student, so decided to take this shoot within a few minutes of gathering, after us is class 3T2...

Our classroom is located at the RM04-01 which is the older building of Yuhua Secondary School, our classroom faces the school gate... this is our only main classroom we attended during 4 years of secondary education we are the only batch of students in the school holding the same main class room for entire 4 years...

So whenever I stand outside the school gate... hearing the sounds of band practices... a noisy class... student drag their chairs back inside the classroom table... student greeting to their teachers 'good morning miss tan' ... I really missed those days down to the deepest side of my heart... this memory is hard written inside and will never be forgotten .. even though no one can ever reverse the advancement of clock ticking....

Examination period...

2009-09-03T00:23:00.012+08:00

Due to my NOS examination on 8 Sep 2009 and submission of VBNET program assignment on 10 Sep 2009, I am now in 'full battle order' mode for my studies. I had alot of things I wanna update here but due to lack of time, I will update my blog as usual thereafter..for my dear I decided I will gave her a last chance...

Takecare guys :)

Journey of life...

2009-08-31T20:18:00.031+08:00

Just as I was hoping for a smooth sailing of journey for the year ahead between my work and studies. Some unexpected events had occurred, the company which I have been working on for the past 3 years had changed its management team unexpectedly.

Different management team, different directions and I hope this will not effect too much or causes too much changes within my working place. Hope that everything will be as usual as possible in company under the new management.

Not sure how will the new management plans the developments of my current working company products. Our duty was suppose to test them out before they are released to the market.

Relationship wise is not sailing as smooth as I have supposed so, I might not be a prefect person or a guy but when you truly loved someone deeply beyonds dollars and cents. You also will be hoping that this particular person will also try to step into ur life provide a good level of understanding,caring and sharing with you...

Being a guy at 25, I have kept many problems to my ownselves. Because I truly believe this girl that I am deeply in loved with deserved great care and adore. I have tried my very best for the past 3 years. I am feeling lost, when I saw those fact of interest she was placing on was not on me but something that shocks me. Should I said to the level of betray of trust? I am not sure...anyway she won't be viewing this very post I am writing and instead placing her interest on some other people's blog, chasing somethings that wasn't hers even to the state of getting hurt by it. I suppose she doesn't mind at all...

I made a promise when I was at the age of 21 on that very day of 8th April 2006 9.35pm that time will prove my care towards her and I will at least guide her properly until she reaches adulthood at the age of 21, lastly try to let her believe that true love exist in this world. That minimum duration of the promise is about to reach its maturity soon.. I will be celebrating joyfully for her adulthood and I will allow her freedom and choices for her future journey in life. Cos to love someone, you need not have to hold her with you.. but let her fly freely and strive for her wishes and by seeing her happily and I will be happy for her too..

In studies wise, I am now writing a VBNET database program which I learned during the advanced diploma lessons I attended. Alot of thinking and learing of new codes to be done inorder to make that program works. In additonal to it, I have a written network operating system examination which will be held on 8th september 2009.

Encouragement Story...

2009-08-27T10:06:00.017+08:00

Ever since I am young... filming, firm editing, watching short films and emotional MTV have always caught my interests and attention...

Its not a weird expression of life but a certain type of special feeling or emotion which we tend to ignored or overlooked...

Short films actually brightness some of us and helps us to review the value of lives. A short film could help brighten up a person's mind at their lowest moment of their life...

Just like this recent short film done by Mediacorp Channel 8, its about a little girl who used to be very internal self and even talk to objects instead of human interaction...

There is this guy who is willingly to make a friend with her and protect her against the bully of other classmates due to her talking with object habits...

Even when doctors are checking her, she showed a very unique reaction with her eyes opening as wide as possible with no clues for doctor to search for...

With the guidance her childhood friend who doesn't mind her weakness but felt that she is unique and special. Maybe this kind of support and understanding might have changed her as she grown up...

Those weakness have turn into a platform for her emotional expression when she attended an audition for acting with a partner... Her expression during the audition have caught the eyes and attention of the judges and given her the approval...

Credits to Mediacorp newcomer Paige Chua 蔡琪慧 for her efforts in handing the emotional expression extremely well and also the great choices of filming objects and location such as those playgrounds of the 1980s...

The very first moment she ran out of the audition was to look for the childhood guy, maybe due to the fact that he discovered her, supported her and care for her when she was nothing... instead of the jewel and recognition of her acting skills shown during her acting audition...

The film seems to be showing that even at the lowest point of your life, there is always hope and changes if we are willing to look forward our life with positive and bright ideas... :)

Assignment Project during ITE days...

2009-08-25T10:43:00.010+08:00

For those been with me during my secondary days and ITE days would know my favorite idol is Cyndi Wang and Faye Wong...

Cyndi Wang due to her first album Cindy Begin which touches me while Faye Wong is due to the way she sang and the special feel in most of her song...

There was project during my ITE days which we require us to do a video editing of 2mins..

No topics but just an assignment which allow us to learn a video editing program.. I can't even remember what program I am learning.. oops :x

I decided to use Cindy Begin 'On My Way' MV and Faye Wong's song Bu Liu and attempt to create a feeling and I remember it took me few days to complete the editing...special words are also added around the video in order to cover up the actual lyrics of the 'On My Way' MV and make it as naturally as possible, finally making sure the song runs naturally well with the MV...

Upon editing and submission of that video... I have the urge to carry on video editing at that period of time as it was a very special and unique way of bringing out a feeling, not a bad feeling but focusing on a particular feeling and keep the feeling at the moment just like time capsule...

Anyway.. it was 6 years ago.. time flys .. i missed ITE days alot.. :(

singapore @ 6pm

2009-08-24T19:48:00.034+08:00

I took a train at 6pm, was actually on my way home between Bugis to Lakeside MRT and it has been a long time since i did that.

Getting into the packed train is just the same as in the morning when I was on my way to work...

But the differences is that.. in the morning the train noise level is very low and everyone was in sort of zombie mode, falling asleep during the train ride..

But during the evening ride everyone was very relax, adults chatting around, students playing with each other, some of them play PSP, others reading their newspaper and books...

When the train come out of the tunnel and reaches Redhill MRT, I saw even much more outside, traffic jams due to everyone driving at the same direction home, bus squeezed with packs of people but these people got down rite below bus stop at Buona Vista MRT and board for train after a day of work...

Construction workers carrying on their handwork building the future shopping center, housing estate, condos, mrt lines. I always pay attention to them because I feel that are these group of people who spend the most effort building so we could enjoy it..

Then I saw students walking together home, people cycling after work, aunts carrying bag and bags of vegetable after shopping at supermarket...

Looking at the early evening with sun shining around...

Everything seems so alife and Life is beautiful after all

All we have to do is to we pay more attention and look at the surroundings...

Enjoy the breeze brought by the wind or leaves dropping down all together...

Many tend to overlook due to our busy lifestyle.. include me :)

nobody nobody...

2009-08-22T16:42:00.010+08:00

While I am stuck at home doing my network operating system assignment.. I will also tend to relax myself by listening to some music...

This is very nice and energetic song and its been quite sometimes since they release this song.. but is still a very outstanding new song...

Wonder Girls - Nobody :)

Usain Bolt...

2009-08-19T13:10:00.010+08:00

Remember this guy called Usain Bolt, the famous man who won the 100 meters and broke the world record in Beijing Olympics last year?

He slowed down at the last moment of the running in beijing, yet still broke the world record in style. After the running he celebrate his winning by showing the arrow sign and have caught the world attention...

Yup, he have once again prove himself as the world fastest man.. in Berlin World Championships 2009.. this time breaking his previously record with 9.58sec...

On analysis it basically means he is running at a speed on 40km/h during the race....

Typhoon Morakot...

2009-08-18T01:13:00.015+08:00

Something serious had happen in Taiwan.. on 8 August 2009..

Typhoon Morakot...

This Typhoon have brought the largest ever rainfall recorded in history of taiwan in a single day with additional of powerful winds with it..

Excessive rains and powerful winds are causing mudslides everywhere and southern taiwan is now soaked in water...

But as I am typing this posting after the 10th day of the actual incident, many of the people are still trapped in dangerous environment and are still waiting for being saved...

Hope that this disaster will soon be over for them... :(

Sony Ericssion Satio...

2009-08-17T14:49:00.010+08:00

I have been holding Sony Ericsson W580i for the past 2 years since I last extended my mobile phone contract with starhub mobile in December 2007.

I had previously owned a few phones and always change to another brand upon extension of contact as I don't feel comfortable with the phone I am holding then...

Thing changes when I had this white colour Sony Ericsson W580i, I never feel bored or have any tendency of changing the phone anymore...I even brought a mobile socks with the suitable size my mobile phone and wear it on when I am not using it..

Mobile socks could prevent starches and cushion the impact in any events of dropping and when I want to use it to make a call or sms, I could just remove wear the socks out in a very short time and wear it on after finish using it...

It been 2 years... although I must admit I have sent this phone for repair for like 7-8 times due to audio problems, card reader spoilt, keypad crack and I rarely drop it also... since I hold it...

But its really a nice phone to get along with... nice menu interface.. serious GUI graphics design within in...and a nice white colour design casing outside it..so it always give you a feel that this is a phone created sincerely for its user...

Starhub have contacted me.. last friday that they will be senting me some vouchers and I could use it if i decided to extend my PowerValue 100 student plan for another 2 years.. they also said I could request for another batch of voucher if I didn't use it within 1 month of issue ...

Since then I have been going into searching mode for my next mobile phone... Its been a long time since I went mobile phone shop, try out different phones and chat with the promoters on phones they could recommend...

There are 5 Mobile Phones.. I have shortlisted.. LG GM730,KM900 and Sony Ericsson W705, W995 but the most outstanding one is Sony Ericsson Satio but haven't released on market yet..so i have to wait for another 2-3 months..

Satio is the first full package touch phone released from Sony Ericsson..it contains a good touch phone GUI, 12.1 MB pixel camera and still compact enough to be kept inside a mobile socks like i did currently with my W580i...

I decided that I will save up a small amount every month from now on... till it released and the pricing is stable before I go for it... cause there's no rush for another phone at for moment for me at the moment...

Just go for a phone that I won't get bored with for another 2 years :)

an everlasting love against time...

2009-08-14T10:24:00.029+08:00

Finally i got to watch the movie UP with her, I can understand why alot of people feel this movie as boring. Because it was like telling a grand father story with the movie starting in black and white pictures explaining about some outdated adventure man in the 1950s.

For those who understand the meaning of memories and how memories can make a person feel,touch and recalls..this movie is tailor made for them...

The movie begins with Carl Fredricksen who was a kid with adventure mind but shy after watching a 1950s movie while he was young, he met another kid called Ellie who is a outgoing and rather eccentric girl..

They met and shared the same hobbies of going to a place in South America call 'Paradise Falls' and they growed up together and become couples and get married.

During their long marriage life they are happily together like drawing the mailbox going out together to the park for a walk... etc..

In their marriage love they made 2 wishes... first is to have a baby... but unfortunately the doctors told them they are unable to make that wish come true and they look forward for their second wish which is to travel to 'Paradise Falls'

But when they always rise up enough money to go 'Paradise Falls' for vacation.. something always cropped up and they have to use up all the money they saved...

Slowly they got old, during the times going to those parks Ellie was unable to walk as fast as before... she was struggling and the last chance of going to 'Paradise Falls' was gone as Ellie was old.. sicked and passaway...

Carl Fredricksen was feeling so sad.. his long life partner is gone... all is left is all memories together..

Even the changes of times is testing him and their relationship, buildings are changing around his house area and the development company even wants to takeover his house and force him to retirement house...

Inorder to escape all this and to achieve the adventure he promised to his passaway wife.. he flooded his rooftop with balloons and made the house float and flying towards the 'Paradise Falls'.

This movie presents a memory of an everlasting love and the test of time against them, also the fated of those old people in real-life where some of their old houses are really being removed in order to create new developments.

I am touched with the love story that test against time but my girl friend felt it's boring.. maybe a cartoon should be simple? :)

Happy Birthday Singapore...

2009-08-09T17:39:00.012+08:00

Today is 9 August 2009, It is Singapore's 44th years old birthday...For those who studied history will know how Singapore begin it's own journey as a nation...

I really happy and deeply in heart feel proud as a Singaporean when looking back at my country's achievements as a small country...

Alot of my memories about singapore will always be in my mind.. the food, mrt train, primary school days, secondary school days, ITE days and 2 years of National Service...

In 2004, amidst of my BMT period.. I could only watch National Day Parade 2004 until 7pm and I took a cab and rush back to my camp for booking in... those days during army, I always look forward for ORD...

But no matter how we don't have a choice to choose to serve for National Service.. I manage to understand as a small country.. we need something to protect ourselves otherwise we won't have the achievement we had today...

When I was a kid.. One People, One Nation, One Singapore...is my favorite national day song...

Happy Birthday Singapore... :)

i am back...

2009-08-07T22:42:00.015+08:00

I was driving to Grand Cathay Multi Story Car Park.. I found a parking lot.. I drove in directly from front and the car front kit got stuck on the car park curb underneath.. due to the weight of me and my girl friend... what a way to have my first car accident... hais but lucky everyone around my gf family was understanding.. and it was not due to judgment error.. or i hit something..

6 August was my birthday... it was the first ever time I work on my birthday..I was on leave every year since I started to work at my current job.. partly I am abit worry with the economy crisis effect, another reason is I wanna use my off day for preparing and studying my assignment and examinations.

Singapore National Team...

2009-07-29T10:07:00.021+08:00

I found an interesting article in the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) website..

Its an interview with our National Team coach Raddy Avramovic after the game with Liverpool....

How I wish Fernando Torres would become a Singaporean and play for Singapore... :)

Interview with Radojko Avramovic (Post-Match Conference)

Radojko Avramovic: We need to believe more in ourselves

Was the result a fair reflection of the game?

Radojko Avramovic: It was disappointing from the result point of view and in particular our performance in the second half. We coped very well in the first half and stopped Liverpool from creating chances. Five goals were definitely too much as at least two or three of the goals were the result of our own errors.

What could we have done more?

Radojko Avramovic: I was not satisfied with our attacking play and we did not take enough initiative in front of goal to create more chances for ourselves.

What was the biggest lesson for us?

Radojko Avramovic: There were two elements in which we were not good enough on the night: we were not good enough in 1 v 1 situations both in attacking and defending situations and in the second half our fitness levels dropped. In the second half, we didn’t play as a team but instead played as individuals.

What were the positives we could take out of the game?

Radojko Avramovic: We showed what we could do in the first half especially tactically. We need to start believing more in ourselves and not be afraid about facing any team.

Your thoughts on Hariss’ first appearance for the National Team after his long injury layoff?

Radojko Avramovic: He is definitely very promising and one for the future. It will be too tough to judge him based on this game but he must learn to be more adventurous in game situations and he should not be afraid.

Liverpool comes to Asia...

2009-07-27T10:14:00.084+08:00

I have attended the 2nd Liverpool game of my life yesterday... the last match was of cos the previous Liverpool VS Singapore game held at exactly the same National Stadium in year 2001.. I was 17 that year...

Micheal Owen and Emile Heskey scored the goals.. during that game..

In my life, there are only 3 soccer team that I have gone all the way out to support them..they are Liverpool, England and Singapore..

So last night match is definitely a match I couldn't miss.. because it consist of both my favorite teams.. Liverpool and Singapore.. I really have mixed feelings..

1. First Team and English Premier League playing Level.

The results was slightly one sided.. with Liverpool winning Singapore 5-0...and Rafael Benitez was so confident of his players in the final 15 mins that the squad consist of Pepe Reina, Dirk Kuyt, Alvaro Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso, Jamie Carragher, Albert Riera and Fernando Torres...

The speed and the style of play in the final 15mins with attacks leading by wingers of both sideds... especially Dirk Kuyt his feel, his touch and the way he open up the attack for Liverpool shows that he is totally ready for the new season...

2. Rafael Benitez answered the Fans

The fans have been cheering for Fernando Torres.. since the first kick off...and Xabi Alonso after the second half kick off...

He answered the call from the fans for Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso..cheers..

3. Xabi Alonso please stay...

During the game.. alot of fans have chanted for both Torres and Xabi Alonso... many fans have been chanting for Xabi Alonso to stay.. in Liverpool FC for future to come... there are even banners around the stadium such as 'Alonso Stay'

4. Viewing Liverpool players Warming up and coaches.. in front of my real eyes..

I saw Pepe Reina, Alvaro Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, Rafael Benitez and Sammy Lee..and seems like Sammy Lee really have fate with singapore..

He was the first team coach 8 years back and came to singapore too...

5. Kallang Roar...is back, for the last time?

This is the icon feeling of our National Stadium since 1970s...

But what is Kallang Roar?

It actually occurred when more then 50% of the people in the full house National Stadium are stepping on the floor using their feets together and cause the National Stadium to shake... yes its really shaking..

National Stadium is sHaKiNG once again last nite!!!!

This respect is reserved for top moments for Singapore Football or Teams like Liverpool which have great support...

Sadly stadium is tearing down soon, i will miss this wan alot :(

6. Kallang Wave...for the last time also?

Not as impact and as rare as Kallang Roar.. and this also occurred during National Day Parade held in the Stadium..apart from soccer matches but this is still apart of Singapore History...

kaLLaNg WavE... :D

7. Singapore National Team

This match was held amidst of Singapore League season period.. when most of the Singapore national player are still playing for their club week in and week out...

The National Team is totally not glue together... there is no direction of play and attack...but some of the youngsters are playing quite well and showing some future prospects..

Lets hope Raddy Avramovic.. can bring Glory for Singapore once again... :)

8. Another 8 years of waiting?

The last time they came in 2001... We waited for 8 years to see them again..

Hope this time there wasn't another 8 years... if not I would be 33 years old when they came once again in 2017?

Total Solar Eclipse...

2009-07-24T16:28:00.023+08:00

There was a very big event going on 22 July 2009...

Total Solar Eclipse is happening...

Read from Wikipedia that... Total Solar Eclipse occurs when our Moon was directly in between our Sun and the Eclipse occurs when the body shape of the Moon blocks the Sun..

Depending on the amount of blockage from the Moon, some are partial blockage...and a total blackout of the entire area will only occur when Total Solar Eclipse occurs...

Solar Eclipse happens basically twice a year.. but the reason why this particular Eclipse on 22 July 2009 is getting alot of attention then before is because this will be one of the longest duration Eclipse in 21st century...

Location of the Eclipse is another factor as it is occurring in areas which has alot of mass population...

Total Solar Eclipse will turn daylight into darkness with road and building lights
turned on during the Total Solar Eclipse..

In areas such as India cities Surat, Vadodara, Bhopal, Varanasi, Patna, Gaya, Dinajpur, Siliguri, Guwahati, Tawang and China cities Chengdu, Nanchong, Chongqing, Yichang, Jingzhou, Wuhan, Huanggang, Hefei, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Huzhou, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Ningbo, Shanghai...

Shape of the Moon blocking the Sun can also be considered as a very rare scene and very beautiful scene..

We can never control the movements of Earth,Moon and Sun and there goes the excitement of why so many people are so interested in viewing Total Solar Eclipse each time it happens....

Although I am unable to watch any of the actual Total Solar Eclipse but I manage to get home before 11.30pm on wednesday to catch on the repeat telecast of the Total Solar Eclipse TV program...

Nice to hear the people cheering upon seeing total darkness with street and building lights turned on when the Total Solar Eclipse occurs at different location..

Really enjoyed the program very much.. :)

Lost love letter reunites couple after 16 years...

2009-07-22T12:53:00.010+08:00

I was surfing the net as usual and saw this very short, simple and sweet article....

The title was Lost love letter reunites couple after 16 years.

Its about a British man and his Spanish former sweetheart, they get to know each other during a foreign exchange student program in Brigham, southwest England.

Steve Smith and Carmen Ruiz-Perez both fell in love... at the age of 25.. 17 years ago...

But their relationship ended after she moved to France and run a shop in Paris.

Few years later, in bid to rekindle their love, Smith sent a letter to her mother's home in Spain. It was placed on the mantelpiece, but slipped down behind the fireplace and was lost for over a decade.

The missing missive was only found when builders removed the fireplace during renovation work.

When Carmen got the letter 1-2 years ago, She didn't phone him at all and kept picking up the phone and putting it down again.

But she knew she had to make the call...

When they were reunited, it was as if time had stood still...

When they met again it was like a firm... They ran across the airport into each other's arm.

They met up and fell in love all over again.

Fortunately, the letter did eventually end up where it supposed to be... and they got married last Friday..

Sounds exactly like a movie .. and wish them well... :)

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince...

2009-07-21T10:27:00.005+08:00

Weekends seems to ended in a blink of a moment always come go fast and fade away before I could realize today is a working day...

But this weekend had made me sort out those doubts in my mind... Bring my girlfriend out to watch Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince and was sad with the ending.

Because after the past 5 series of Harry Potter when the Dark Eaters is always being defeated, this book was like a wake up call to Harry Potter and the death of Albus Dumbledore due to exploration of a risky clue which turn out to be another clue from the person who written the note R.A.B...

How much Albus Dumbledore cares for Harry Potter, how he seen Harry Potter grown up on each of the books and sadly how he risk his life and sacrifice himself deeply to ensure Harry Potter is safe...this time..

R.I.P Albus Dumbledore :(

Apart of his friends, Harry Potter as the chosen one seems to be alone to defeated the Dark Eaters.. really a sad book which does not bring any joy to those who supported Harry Potter all the way....

Anyway it also brings out some sort of curiosity to watch the last episode of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ...

Can Harry Potter win without advise and guidances of Albus Dumbledore?

How Did You Know...

2009-07-21T10:21:00.007+08:00

After watching the movie, we walk pass a music album shop and we heard this music...

Its really a very nice and touching song...

Hope you guys like this song :)

Dark Clouds

2009-07-16T09:44:00.010+08:00

I feel I am about to enter a patch of dark clouds beginning next month... which was also my birthday period..

Whenever I have things to do and jobs to complete, I will always try my very best and I don't really mind to stay for late hours...

Problem is now quite worrying and there's nothing much I could do...

I am thankful for the chance given to my current job...2 years back.. I nearly didn't came back if not for an advise given...

I kept telling myself that 2 years is quite a long time...

I am grateful for the past 2 years and I would really prefer stability for another 1 years in order to complete my part-time studies...

Searching a new path will requires time to search, learn, adapt, understand..

Saying good bye after 2 years, will be sad...

Such scenario occurring on a middle of an crucial school term will be something I am not looking forward to...

I am worry... but nothing much I could do... :(

Mummy's Birthday...

2009-07-15T09:33:00.012+08:00

Today is a special day for her and I wish her happy always...

Mummy.... 生日快乐 :)

We had celebrated it early on last sunday with a visit to 姨婆 and 姨妈 house in commonwealth in the afternoon...

And meal set dinner with unlimited scopes of ice-cream and soft drink @ JustAcia

After that we ended the celebration with a ride on Singapore Flyer with my mummy and my girlfriend...

Will be going home directly after work... :)

NDP 2009 Theme Song

2009-07-13T09:43:00.007+08:00

I quite like this year's NDP 2009 Theme Song... It was very different was compared to the past few years...

The entire MV was trying to slow time down...in order for us to look back at the past... look at the present, be happy with whatever we have achieve in a very relax manner and looks towards the future horizon with full of hope and remember we are Singaporeans and this is our country...

Many of the NDP Theme Song was mostly out to highlight our achievements but this MV seems to be going for relax,happiness and hope...

Most Singaporeans are used rushing here and there... I am sure they will feel this is a very slow MV... maybe even time wasting.. but if you sit down relax sit down and fully enjoy the music..

I am sure you will enjoy it... :)

Thank you mummy...

2009-07-13T08:54:00.025+08:00

Being in a single parent family and living in a 2 room rented flat was never easy...

In the past...when I was a children and teenager, my mum was the only breadwinner and the only source of income....living in a 2 room rented flat.

Family survival seems more important then anything... without salary we couldn't pay house rental, PUB bills and our food expenses... there is every possible that me and my mummy would ended sleeping on streets if we didn't work hard... enough.

There was even a period of time my mummy have to work 7 days a week in order to support herself and me...

Every school holiday since I was 12 years old.. picking up a holiday job is a MUST and the only way I could raise up money to purchase my personal item...

Such that I brought my first computer at the age of 13.. using my holiday job salary in 1997...

I am nothing ... I am just bonded in an environment that there is no option to ask anything I wanted... other then obtaining it myself...

after my family crisis occurred... when I was young..if either of my parents abandoned me..

I won't know who I am today... I might even be living in an orphan home or streets...

My mum is the greatest mum is this world, I can't be without her...

In order to raise me up, work seems to become the ever lasting event that occupied my mum time...

Until I finished my ITE education, went to army and I begin making full use of the army allowances as my living expenses..

I asked my mum to stop working on weekends in 2004 as she wasn't young anymore... It was then my mummy start to have sometime to breath in some fresh air and relax herself a bit...

Over the past few years I have been working full-time and studying part time... I finally let my mum understand its really time to totally relax herself and enjoy her golden years... I will try my best to look after myself no matter what came in the future...

I don't wan mummy to be tired anymore... I want my mum to spend some with her personal interests and ever aging relatives and treasure every moment of it with them...

While I treasure every moment with my mummy... :)

p.s: 15 July 2009 is Mummy's 64 years old birthday..

2009-07-09T10:36:00.002+08:00

Memorial of Michael Jackson

2009-07-09T10:02:00.012+08:00

I think... he is a real talent and really very much respected all around the world...

Never I saw.. CNN news channel... takedown all the stock and news information posting...not even during their president election update...

Only Michael Jackson....which CNN give him the highest respect ever... the entire channel during the playback of his personal history was left with 3 words... CNN..

Never I saw Mediacorp Channel 5 dedicate the entire timeslot between 5.30pm to 1.30am this morning for just a single person....

I saw from Straits Times... when a famous celebrity dies, his/she body will wonder around the place he wanted to be at the most....

It happens with so many celebrity before... like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Orson Welles, Harry Houdini, Andrew Jackson, John Lennon, Abraham Lincoln, Lucille Ball and James Dean.

This time it happens on Michael Jackson...when CNN visited his Neverland house after his death...for an memorial interview and they spotted a shadow.. only during the video editing...

My hair stands... when i look at it...I think its really him and I always feel that CNN a news channel that reports news truthfully...

Those who watches the memorial will agree.. actually he did alot to help out in charity ... and made alot of good friends.. specially Diana Ross who look after him since he was a 10 years old during the TV shows...

Then come the specially sad part.. when her daughter speaks...

Nothing can be compared to the love of our parents...

I always feel that and I hope their children grow up well..

under the care of jackson family :)

Eyes checkup...

2009-07-09T09:52:00.015+08:00

Went for a medicial appt at NUH ... when the tests contacted by the specialist was finished... my eyes become so red that no one dares to look at me.. during that 1 hour.. after the eye test...

I thought of going to work... but when the doctor issue me an MC and he ask me to take a day rest for my eye... i decided to... cos the eyes is really very red...

Slept early the previous night...

But I recorded the entire memorial service of Michael Jackson using my HubStation box while I was sleeping in the middle of the night...

After a few hours rest in the afternoon yesterday.. my eyes was much much better.. and I wake up and watch the recordings i made...

last posting...

2009-07-07T09:15:00.005+08:00

Blogging is a special place.. where it allows one to express their personal experiences and views...

So that in years to come when I viewed back.. the forgotten days.. I would remember it again...

Personal and sincere...

I really feel that blogging is a nice hobble to do...

But I decided that maybe certain things should be keep within one self...

I will now workhard on my studies.. and try my best in my work...

And save some money... for the future...

Thanks for being with me past few months since my blog is re-launched...

Thank you...very much.. :)

mrs richards...

2009-07-06T10:23:00.016+08:00

When I shifted to Block 117 in year 27th September 1997...at the age of 13 years old... I never expect I would be meeting very nice Eurasian neighbor... who played a very great part in my youth days memories...

Who teaches me alot about my views of life now...especially her positive view and smiling... which we could still see from her eyes even when facing death...

I always help Mrs Richards... prepare her cake.. chat with her... she always bring me to NTUC fairprice for a walk when I am young.. alot and alot of memories that words can't said up everything...

Mrs Richards helps me to prepare food for my 21 years old birthday party dinner in 6th august 2005...

Mrs richards... I really wish you can get out of NUH... I really wish...

I knew.. when you are not at home again... its either you went to one of your daughters house to stay.. in order to recover from your irregular heart beat.. or you are in hospital...

I am so sorry... because of all my work...overtime.. family... I only discover that you readmitted to hospital on saturday after bringing my mum for medicial appt and check with aunt anus..

I knew.. something was wrong.. I called NUH... heard from the admin telling me that you are warded to ICU... my hearts just fallen down...

Lucky when I visited you.. you are in a normal ward... after 4 days of battle in ICU..due to H1N1 problem I have to wear mask even in a normal ward...

But.. when you look at me.. when you hold my hands... tightly.. and tell mi...

that 3 sentences... I knew how serious was her life and death battle was between last tuesday till friday night.. before she was sent back to a normal ward.. and i visited her...

I nearly lost my best neighbor in my life...I really need to pray for her...

I am blogging this so I could remember Mrs Richard forever...

I really wish she could come out and we will be able to celebrate her 80 years old birthday next year...

I really wish to invite her for my ROM.. and custom wedding dinner...

I might be shifting only to opposite block from blk 117 to blk 121

but my greatest regret ... in order to get a permanent house

is losing 2 great neighbor .. aunt anus and mrs richards..

Singa is masked.

2009-07-03T10:25:00.009+08:00

Those who have no idea.. who this icon is.. he is actually our courtesy campaign icon.. and his name is Singa.. he's been around all major courtesy campaign for singapore since 1980s...

Read the papers today... the govt decided to repackage him... with a mask on his mouth... haha so funny... just wanna laugh when looking at his new style...

But the message is serious...we must be hygienic with our hands.. or when we cough, sneeze..and wear a mask when we have a flu.. to delay the spreading of H1N1 virus...

hope everyone gets the message :)

micheal jackson last rehearsel

2009-07-03T09:29:00.006+08:00

The company that is organizing Micheal Jackson 'This is it' Concert on July 2009... had released the videos of his final appearances and final concert rehearsal recorded on 23 June 2009..2 days before his death...

Upon viewing the video, I really feel that even at the age of 50.. he is really amazing and can still perform in a level that anyone who supports music would like his performances...quite entertaining..

Quite sad... he left so early... music is better with Micheal Jackson.. :(

asian youth games 2009

2009-07-02T10:53:00.018+08:00

So many years have singapore last hosted a sports events and I check from Wikipedia the last time we actually host a major sports event was many years ago..

SEA Games 1993..I was just a primary 3 kid.. that year.. wow..

I am happy see the interests in sports for singaporean seems to grow in past few years and we seems to perform quite ok...

In international sporting events we even breakthrough our 48 years record to win an Olympic Medal in Female Table Tennis Team Event and 5th placing in Butterfly 100m Swimming..

Since the Asian Youth Games 2009 started, I have been trying to catch the highlights of the game and the sports events that catch my mind definitely is Football...

So far the best game I have seen from the Football Tournament is between South Korea U14 VS North Korea U14.

With the quality of play from South Korea U14, from their physical strength in holding the ball, passing and the technical quality of all their goals.. specially the 3rd goal during the game..

I got a feeling that South Korea U14 will win the Football Tournament of Asian Youth Games 2009.

As for Singapore, so far we have won 2 Bronze Medal in Athletics event and finally a 1st Gold Medal in Individual Female Bowling Event... congrats to Team Singapore.

Hope.. our sports athletics will do their best and make Singapore proud.. :)

Cadbury Eyebrows

2009-06-29T13:10:00.009+08:00

Was watching TV with my girlfriend house..

and I saw this Cadbury advertisement... and we laugh like hell together....

Never underestimated the power of our Eyebrows... :)

final memory of micheal jackson

2009-06-29T11:06:00.012+08:00

I was searching online for more of Micheal Jackson background since his passaway...

Micheal Jackson was born on 29 August 1958 in Gary, Indiana, U.S.

He is the 7th child in the famous 'Jackson Family'

His other sidings are Rebbie Jackson, Jackie Jackson, Tito Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, LaToya Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Randy Jackson and lastly Janet Jackson.

Every of the sidings becomes famous and talented singers...9 of them...

No wonder this family is so famous..because such occurrences is so rare...

Around them... 5 of them group up and form up the famous black singing group called 'The Jackson 5' with Micheal Jackson being the youngest in the group..

Yet his outstanding talent, his soul singing voice.. and his dances made him 'outclassed' from the rest...

He then started out as a individual solo singer and made his way up... with his personal style..soul voices.. and his irreplaceable 'Moonwalker' dance.

king of pop...

2009-06-26T11:16:00.025+08:00

Michael Jackson passed away this early morning due to sudden cardiac arrest.

My deepest respects to him...

a singer who's trademark moonwalker dance can never be replaced by another singer...

a singer who was apart of my grown up memory as a child..

that Micheal Jackson Moonwalker Sega Game featuring one of his famous song Smooth Criminal was one of my favorite Sega Games... when I was a little kid of 5-6 years old...

will never forgot about the game when recalls Michael Jackson...

During the march 2009 press conferences for his upcoming concert in London.

he made his formal last words for all his fans....

Michael Jackson: This is it... and see you in July...

but sadly that promise is never going to happen...

Spain loses...

2009-06-25T11:35:00.021+08:00

As ususal I was surfing internet for the results of the match between Spain and United States of America...in Confederations Cup 2009 Semi-Finals ...

And my jaws drop down.. when I see the result... Spain 0-2 USA..

Wow.. something interesting had happened.. Spain is also currently ranked 1st in FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking.

England loses to Spain with a scoreline of 0-2 on 11 February 2009 friendly match..but so interestingly USA can win Spain in a major cup competition and its a semi-final game somemore...

I think Spain must be on 'Cloud Nine'.. since winning all the Confederations Cup group matches .. specially a 5-0 win against New Zealand..

That they might as forgotten they are here for a serious cup competition before World Cup 2010.

Maybe their mind is already on their next possible opponent Brazil... instead of United States of America where soccer wasn't a very particular sports their people's mind...

So they played the game as if they were expecting to meet Brazil in the Final...and they ended up losing their 35 unbeaten game run...

Is USA improving... or over-confidence

that lead to such a famous victory for USA?

hunger and poverty...

2009-06-22T16:48:00.009+08:00

Was reading a report on Asiaone website on wasteage of food...

a comments section was below it and someone actually posted a link to this video...

ndp airshow...

2009-06-18T18:02:00.008+08:00

While studying... I will sometimes relax myself.. by leaving the library and walk to the places around it..

Realise that Marina Bay Integrated Resort is like completing soon... all the 3 main buildings are like already above 50 stories tall..

Looking elsewhere... the Merlion seems ok after the lighting stuck incident during march 2009 and everything else was just the same as before...really nice to sit down and look at...

Was sitting at Marina Bay River just outside esplanade yesterday around 6pm and all the sudden a group of helicopter carrying the Singapore Flag..fly over us and everyone was like feeling surprised...

Then I realize its actually NDP rehearsal for Singapore Air Force and for the next 1 hour between 6pm to 7pm... I am just like everyone else there... sitting down watching all different kinds of Air Show they prepared and trained for the coming NDP 2009...

I saw the hawk helicopter, F16 fighter jet, many helicopters during that 1 hour and when I saw that Singapore Flag was printed on each and every of the Singapore Air Force planes with the visual and sound effected created by those air machines...

I feel really very proud as Singaporean as a small country..

maybe you guys can try your luck at marina bay between 6-7pm..

during one of these days.. :)

introduction of sims...

2009-06-15T13:50:00.004+08:00

The reason why i am so much into playing sims games was thanks to the temptation my gf have given me and many times when i was at her house... i am just sitting down there looking at her playing...

i feel like playing it when i see her playing.. and i begin playing sims 2 and now is sims 3...

for those who didn't know, what sims games is about..maybe i can explain in a basic form before you try it out...

sims is like human... they are just like us.. they have 6 basic requirement hungry,bladder,hygienic,energy and fun...

if sims hungry.. sims needs food...

if bladder is full sims need to use toilet...

if hygienic level is in red colour...sims needs to bath.. cos he is dirty and smelly

sims need enough sleep which is around 8 hours per day for good level of energy...

encourage your sims play video games.. use computer.. play board games to improve his fun level...

apart of the 6 basic requirements.. you need to bring sims to school to get educated... and older sims needs to find a job in order to earn money and buy better furniture...

you can also let them chat with outsiders... find a friend.. engaged in a releationship.. exercise to keep fit...and many more...

experiances of sims 3...

2009-06-15T13:12:00.016+08:00

I think sims 3 have improved alot... apart from hardware requirement... which can slow down many PC....

detail wise.. there are many more things i could perform in sims 3... on sims 2 it is just about your house and maybe some friends visiting you and that is everything...

there are now more targets to achieve.. in work...personal wishes.. and many more...

there are other interesting things happening around the town... while you are playing your sims...

during the day time... while my sims is working.. i can zoom around the town.. example the park and i can see people reading books....others having picnic together..

if i zoom outside government house... people are rioting.... with some displeasure against sims government..

in the middle of the night... while my sims is sleep.. 12am... i can zoom to cemetery.. and you could see ghost wondering around... shaking the tombs.. and chairs...

and i am wondering if i wake up my sims.. from sleep and let him visit the cemetery.. will he faint... when he see the ghosts?

seems interesting... but so far i haven't try out yet.... :)

installation of sims 3...

2009-06-15T12:36:00.013+08:00

I managed to obtain a copy of The Sims 3 and at first i thought i could play rite away... on last wednesday...

eventually i ended starting the game on friday... due to the ever-increasing hardware requirement.... Sims 3 now requires a personal computer to have at least 1.5 GB of RAM memory... and my PC only has 1 GB RAM memory.. which is not enough...

i tried to run the game previously... the installation was ok... the starting was ok....even the playing of the game introduction video was quite fast... until the moment the sims characters are created and start running...

my whole entire computer was like being freeze.. with my CPU processor light blinking and running like crazy... and immediately i look on the minimum requirement section for Sims 3...

and i decided that since i have already use this computer for the past 1 year plus.....my processor still supporting very well.. and will certainly run better and faster with more RAM memory...its time for a minor upgrade before my hardware runs outdated... in few years to go...

upgraded with additional 4 GB of memory ...

everything was ok... seamless running... :)

raffles city + m1 broadband

2009-06-15T09:25:00.027+08:00

Met up my coursemates for the PC Show 2009 at suntec....I am going with them... because they needed a new broadband plan as their current contract once have expired...

So I reach there at around 2pm.. which is much earlier then our promised time of 3pm... and I decided to walk around raffles city...

alot of changes had been made at the basement.... and I realize now raffles city is not only a place you can go for high-class shopping... but you can also go for great food...

the developers of raffles city have actually allocated most of the raffles city basement 1 for different variety of food...

you can have... casual dining, fast food, cafes, restaurants and small bites... all over basement 1...a very different view as compared to the past...

do pay a visit to raffles city basement 1... :)

Met wai loon and foo choon ken at around 3plus.. and we walk over to suntec via city link mall...we are chatting about the free items given for the sign-up of new broadband plan...

and starhub and singtel was always in my friend's mind as the eventual ISP for the new sign-up of another 2 years...

when we reached the doorstep of suntec hall 603.. we received 3 advertisement slips from 3 different ISP... Starhub, Singnet and new challanger M1...

to our surprise... M1 might be very new into this broadband market... but they are offering a very special broadband promotion that my friends simply cannot ignored...

my friend are currently under MaxOnline Express 8Mpbs which they signed up.. 2 years ago.. in year 2007 and they are paying a subscription fee of $59.92 per mth...

it was always in their mind to extend their contact with starhub.. but upgraded to MaxOnline Premium 12Mpbs.. at the slight lesser value provided they couldn't find a better plan with Singnet...

but the surprise offer by M1.. have caught their eyes and also my admire..and we simply forgotten about the free labtops, promotion item or slightly improved broadband speed given if signing up a new broadband plan..

M1 is offering a 100Mbps fixed line broadband plan at only $59 for 2 years contact with free rental of cable modems and sign-up fee waived ...
(M1 uses same technology as StarHub)

this basically means for my friend ... for a same price of $59.. they can upgrade their broadband speed from 8Mpbs to 100Mpbs... and pay 92cents lesser...

but this offer are only available for those who applied during the PC Show 2009... their staff told us that M1 should not be offering such a price again in the coming months.. its just a one-time promotion to increase their customer base...

so upon checking and confirm their contract expiry date with StarHub... they cancelled their existing broadband plan.. and applied with M1...

sadly I couldn't sign-up as i am have purchased a Hubstation box for free 1Mpbs internet access and 3 basic group plan at $25.68 per mth and my contact expires on august 2010..

seeing their eyes and expression when they sign-up the M1 plan..

i am happy for them :)

england...

2009-06-11T13:37:00.002+08:00

Just reach my office and was browsing around afew soccer website for the latest update on the World Cup 2010 Qualifier match results and groups standings around the world.

The good news is my favorite national team England had once again win another qualifier match against Andorra with a score of 6-0.

This is also their 7th consecutive victory and now they now leading in World Cup 2010 Qualifier Europe Group 7 with 21 points which is an additional 10 points advantage away from the 2nd position Croatia.

Nowadays England itself do not have very talented manager and in English Premier League not many English Manager performed very well.. so far the recent outstanding once are Roy Hodgson and Harry Redknapp...

And it is clear that the appointment of foreign manager is their only choice.. and a better choice since not many English manager nowadays are talented enough to hold the job of being the Manager of England National Team.

So far the appointment of Sven-Göran Eriksson and recently Fabio Capello...had allow England national team to win at least 60% of their international games.

Specially Fabio Capello, who have to work with limited resources of England player.. due to the flooding invasion of foreign players in English Premier League...I really think he did well... other then leaving Micheal Owen out of the squard due to his fitness and injury problem...

Maybe Fabio Capello could motivate Micheal Owen in someway or another so that he could one day rejoin back the national team sqard.. just like Emile Heskey...as Owen is a natural england born goal scorer which is hard to find in recent years..

Goalkeeping department is also another problem England is facing... not much experiences GoalKeeper (GK) other then David James.. and Paul Robinson ...

It will be a dream ... if England can win the World Cup one day..

and add another star to their jersey... :)

freeze up...

2009-06-11T13:34:00.007+08:00

I found this video quite interesting... while surfing my friend's blog...

it's like everyone group as a team....walk to a train station...

stop their movement and freeze for 5 minutes...

quite interesting...hope you guys like it :)

advertisement...

2009-06-08T19:05:00.009+08:00

Hope you guys enjoy... :)

national library...

2009-06-08T09:23:00.022+08:00

As my assignment and examination date are coming... I have alot of reports to rush on and quite a few chapters to revise..

So last saturday I decided that I need to find a very quiet place for my revision and the first light bulb that came into my mind was... the National Library @ Bugis.

It was a place that I always went to during my national service days .. during the weekends.... before me and my current girlfriend get together...maybe year 2005?

Specially if you went up to the Level 11 of the National Library Building ...that place is actually for Singapore and Southeast Asian Collections.

Once you entered Level 11, you will actually be able to see Level 12 and Level 13 in between...so the structure effects made Level 11 rooftop looks very tall...

If you walk to the corner of both sides in Level 11.. your eyes will be flooded very amazing view of Victoria Street at the right side and view of City Hall, Suntec, Esplanade, Esplanade Dr, Indoor Stadium, Merlion, Singapore Flyer, Ships Harbouring near Singapore and many....

The reason why I decided to come over this place is because this place is a very spacious and very quiet place without any disturbance noise ... you can even hear your own breathing sometimes

You will also feel very relax over there with the amazing view and coolness brought in by the air-conditional at the middle of an hot afternoon...

Lastly if you have a Lappy this is a 'made in heaven' place for you.... National Library had design power plug in on almost every desk of Level 11.. specially for your Lappy

Surfing the Internet using your Lappy is also Free Of Charge.. due to the free wifi broadband plan from the government call Wireless @ SG.

Opposite the national library will be Iluma and Bugis Junction where you can go for shopping and make yourself happy with different variety of food...

Why not consider the National Library as an option.. :)

dear dear...

2009-06-03T12:57:00.002+08:00

She is the only girl who really touches my heart...

Never had I love a girl so deeply as before...

3 years of my life... I made a promise and vision that true love do exist...

Before we step into the next level...in our projected date next year..

I wish she could understand the meaning of give and take...

I might not be the best guy in this world... or a prefect guy..but

It shouldn't be a one sided affairs... even if you really love that person very much...

My hand will shake and I will feel cold and sweat to sign that paper now... because it is about the rest of the life...

I couldn't sign it...

I am at a crossroad now... but I do love her.. very much...

H1N1 flu...

2009-06-03T10:01:00.019+08:00

I was surfing on AsiaOne website...a news website uploaded by The Straits Times...

sadly i saw a news report about the 8th case of H1N1 flu virus in Singapore.

even the health minister strongly believes that this new type of virus might spread around in the community...very soon

so we just have to get mentally prepared and hope that this H1N1 flu virus doesn't mutates and stay in its current non-lethal form..

anyway the picture uploaded by the reporters as seen above is kinda funny...

please have a look and enjoy.. :)

circle line...

2009-06-01T17:29:00.001+08:00

although i sleep late the night before at 3am... i manage to wake up at 10am.. in the morning...

bring my mummy for breakfast at clementi.. then we went to take mrt train from dover mrt station to outram park mrt and finally to serangoon mrt station...

circle line is opened... and i decided to bring my mummy to try it out... just like the opening of joo koon mrt station during february 2009...

i can see my mummy really enjoyed my accompany... seldom we have a chance to have a family day together...

after trying out the circle line... from serangoon mrt to bishan mrt.. a journey of just 15mins.. we had our lunch at junction 8 MacDonalds...

the circle line looks just exactly like north east line... but from the map.. i can really understand the meaning of building the circle line...

it really shorten the distances between east,north east,north and west area....

saw on the news that evening that the final phases of hole digging for circle line is completed... now it is a complete circle link..

see those construction worker.. so happy cheering.. waving singapore flag...

they might be foreigner.. but their sweat and efforts of building this circle line so we singaporean and future generations can enjoy the benefits of it... is deeply respected....

hope they open up all the circle line by end of next year ba...

an ambulance... when i saw it.. my mind was collapse.. i can't allow myself to walk another step... i can't do it.. i really wanted to...

looking at it.. looking at those civil defense personnel carrying a cavern sheet.. looking at a person on oxygen supply cover over his mouth...in coma state... not getting any younger... who was once apart of me....but now none of my business...

he never did his duty.. he never cared...he beat the person i loved most...he ruin the whole family up.. and gambling debts.. and loan shark...

but.. why i didn't move on that night... i damn hate myself..

restaurant city...

2009-05-28T10:48:00.003+08:00

Recently a friend of my introduced me a new facebook game called restaurant city...

At first I thought it was something like a quiz game.. but as it goes on...

I realize that in the game I will actually be a manager... and my task is to build up, decorate and design the furniture arrangement the restaurant....

I also need to find ingredients.. to improve the standard of my food being served to the customer...

The staff can be picked from my friends within the facebook... so it makes you feel like you are really running a business with friends helping you out....

As your standards improved ... the customer will also increase...therefore when you reach a target amount of customer you will be level up...

And you will either be given a chance to hire another staff to help out with the restaurant or increase in the area of the restaurant where you can place more furniture and sittings to serve more customer....

So guys.. specially those facebook user.. do try out this game.. ok :)

recent updates..

2009-05-28T10:12:00.010+08:00

Recently.. I have been working almost everyday since 11 may 2009.. so today is actually the 18th day of continues working..and I still have tomorrow.. which is the 19th day...

The good side is.. I am able to save more...and my next month saving will be slighty higher then usual..I am really happy with it.. down my heart...

Past few months maybe due to economy crisis.. my overtime schedule has been the lowest level since I started to work over here.. but it seems like getting slightly better over the past few weeks....

No matter what.. whenever I have a task on my job I will just try my best to do it..

I am also hoping that economy get better and benefit everyone...

Now to my higher diploma studies, this is actually my 2nd year studying in TMC..I have completed my diploma studies end of last year...

This term I am having 2 modules.. IT security and Logical Foundation.. and things as getting harder and harder as compared to last year.

I think if I work hard enough I am still able to submit a good assignment report for IT security..

but as for Logical Foundation.. if I manage to obtain a pass.. I am very happy already.. as it involves many different types of maths formula and some of the topics in the books when teacher teaches I felt like I am in space wondering around...

Its not I didn't try my best or didn't pay attention to the lecturer... but the problem is that I am unable to click things.. together to understand it...

Anyway I will try my best and see how it goes... and no matter what.. I will never give up...

Häagen-Dazs icecream...

2009-05-22T10:23:00.036+08:00

Few weeks ago.. I walk pass a Häagen-Dazs icecream outlet @ Wisma Orchard with my dear dear...

Remember the weather was damn hot..that afternoon...

We are looking for something nice, delicious and able to cool down ourselves...

When we walked inside the outlet.. their friendly staff appoached us and introduce us new ice cream favors for try out... like oreo chips... swiss chocolate...

We ending up with 2 scopes of Häagen-Dazs icecream and 1 scope for free...

Strawberry, chocolate chip and mocha favour...

It was damn delicious...and since then I always recalled the moment...we ate it..

I am so thirsty that day... and able to eat Häagen-Dazs icecream...really brighten up my day...

Compared to other ice cream brands... Häagen-Dazs icecream should is one of the most expensive brands around the town.. but their prices is worth it..

Because they use the real ingredients.. and purest ingredients to fill up the emptiness which you can 'feel it' when eating a normal ice cream ...

Anyway.. going to Häagen-Dazs icecream outlet and eat is good in sense of quality of life..

but the amount of each scopes is quite small...not worth it in sense of money wise..

So I will save up some money and buy the 500ml tubs from supermarket instead.. then I can enjoy.. whenever i am feeling down.. or sad.. or anything

Delicious ice cream... will brighten up the mood of a person..

The taste ... will let you feel that life is still good and worth looking forward for...

Try it.. when you feel sad.. or unhappy... :)

liverpool fc...

2009-05-19T14:54:00.018+08:00

For those Liverpool fans, I am sure you must be aware about announcement of Liverpool FC coming to Singapore on 26 July 2009.

Now the pricing of the match is also confirmed and it's between $88 - $188 which is slightly more expensive then I previously thought it would be...

Cos I remember the last time when they visited singapore in year 2001.. the match ticket was between $70 - $130...

9 years have just gone pass.. but I can feel the increase of the ticket pricing was quite large... a basic ticket now comes at $88...can buy a nice pair of shoes le...

I didn't catch much of the EPL or now so called BPL.. since it was removed from 'Free to AIR' TV channels... due to the lack of time and subscription fee...

Heard they going to increase the subscription fee.. after starhub contract with BPL is over... so next time maybe subscription will cost $40? per mth...

So now I am still amidst of considering... whether should I go....but my mind and support really goes towards liverpool fc...

Those days.. I was a younger.. watching robbie folwer... steve macca... micheal owen.. jamie redknapp... sammi hyypia... jamie carragher.. steven gerrard...playing was a pure enjoyment...

youth days...

2009-05-16T19:48:00.005+08:00

Realise that opening of 3rd phase of circle cline will be on 28 May 2009.

Between Bartley and Marymount MRT Station...

Time really flys.. from planning layout of the line..during my secondary days

To building it...i was 17 years old...

Recalling the disastrous accident when nicoll highway collapse due to the construction of circle line.. in April 2004..i am 19 years old..

Took train with my friends.. to lavander mrt and head to Beach Road.

before walking under the Golden Mile multistory carpark...

Saw the actual collapse site...of nicoll highway infront of my own eyes...

Those are my memories...

circle line...

2009-05-16T19:29:00.016+08:00

Circle line is definitely going to shorten travelling time for people..

Between people staying in the east,north east and north...

At the moment the travel time between bedok and bishan on train is

around one and a half hour...

With circle line... Bedok > Paya Lebar > Serangoon > Bishan ..

Should it be like 30mins?

2009-05-10T18:21:00.007+08:00

Today is mother's day...

amidst of family crisis between my dad and my mum in year 1995..

my mum made a brave decision to take me away and start a new life together..

living in a small rented room.. having a small bed.. a small radio... nothing else...

we sleep together.. and those quietness when the lights and radio are turned off..

we started our new life...

away from hate... and violence.. away from loan shark..

mother... i will never let anyone hurt you... you are really a nice mother if not..

today i won't know .. what is happening to me today..

sometimes i feel i am not good son...

but in my heart.. mummy i love you..very much...

life commitment...

2009-05-05T13:28:00.017+08:00

I am thinking deeply and down to heart about myself...

How to maintain a 'Life Commitment'

Journey in life.. can be long...everyday is another day..

The moment we started..our task with 'will' and correct 'desire'

Can we still straight between the 'start point' till 'end point'

How easy it is.. for anyone to walk the wrong direction and drift away...

'Life Commitment' can be on anything.. on anyone..

No one is perfect...

How to walk straight in between problems and temptations...

Sorry about it ... this is just another posting for my soul searching...

Might be beyond understanding..

p.s: not about relationship wise..can be on anything we commitment to...

17 again...

2009-05-05T13:13:00.013+08:00

watched was 2 movies over the past 1 week..

first movie was 17 Again..

This guy called 'Mike O'Donnell', he is 37 years old..

blink of divorcing with her wife, not able to get along with his children and he just lost his job..

he walk back to his former high school... and he realize isn't those days the best...

god made him back turn to 17 years old.. and many things happened....

mother teresa...

2009-05-05T12:45:00.016+08:00

the second movie i watched was.. Mother Teresa in Calcutta

I must down to heart.. respect Mother Teresa.. for her life commitment on the desire to help those people..living in the poorest of the poor....

When people nowadays only count cents and dollars.. go shopping.. eat nice food... work hard for better lifes...but Mother Teresa.. is different..

I admire her ideology of helping people... helping the poorest of the poor.. receiving donations for means to pass it over to those needy once...

She never want to setup an organization.. she felt helping people should be down from heart.. and setting up an charity organization is equivalent to setting up a company...

She doesn't want her effort of helping those poor once to be organized.. but instead she prefer it to be simple and directly from heart...

Since becoming a nun, she have dedicated her whole entire life to helping people... any kinds of people.. skin diseases, tuberculosis, cancers and etc... she felt they deserve a better treatment...

She doesn't plan everything in details in order to help them...she doesn't worry for money because she strongly believes money will come day by day..with gods willing..

She doesn't not encourage donations from people..in order upgrade better facilities... and she does not encourage people to join her religion...

She helps because she felt the need for those forgotten people...raising up their hands.. without people caring..

new flu virus...

2009-04-27T09:40:00.017+08:00

Everyone gets flu... at least once in their life... but.. i am not sure did anyone knows that flu virus.. actually changes from time to time.. season to season...

flu virus always changes...it's styles and patterns.. and becomes a new strain...

some strain only limit and infected to animals only due to the physical differences between animals and humans

and those that can cross over to human are the dangerous once... because our human body have no defenses against them and body defenses system do not know how to react to new flu virus stain...

SARS...flu virus.. in 2003.. i was just 18 years old that year... i have read from books..that those people didn't actually dead from the virus itself.. but due to the over reaction by our body defenses system..to protect an unknown virus...

based on the news past few days.. i can feel a familiar.. sense... as compared to SARS virus in 2003...

something is now happening in mexico...a new flu virus already confirmed and they called it 'swine flu virus' and i read from Wikipedia that this new virus is a combination of 4 types of virus into 1...they category as H1N1.

North American swine influenza, North American avian influenza,human influenza and swine influenza virus... i read finish this.. my hair stands already... 4 kinds of virus into 1 new virus...

at the moment.. in mexico.. there are 1,400 detected cases of the new virus.. and 86 people already dead of it...

sad to said.. suspected/confirmed cases also affected... other countries like USA,Canada,New zealand, Colombia, Spain, UK, France, Brazil and Israel...

when a new virus is spreading in 'human to human' methods.. there is only a few way to control it... most troublesome and most effective way is by isolation to a point that there is no 'human to human' transmission... which successful ended the SARS virus crisis in 2003.

creation of new injection, new medicine.. can also help.. but some virus are really very complicated.. it will take years to develop a fully cured medication...

Every country around the world are now stepping up the defenses against the new virus...such as temperature check..and for those who just came to singapore via plane,sea and the causeway...after 8am today.. they will be facing alot of health checking procedures..same as during the SARS period..

I hope..this virus crsis can be controlled.. specially at the moment.. with economy crisis... everything seems to happen at the wrong moment...

developments around the world...

2009-04-27T09:33:00.005+08:00

Watching my blog not only give you a personal update of my current situation and the problem i have faced..

but i will also keep you update with developments around the world...

which is better then reading the newspaper...specially those who doesn't catch up with newspapers papers and news programs..on tv channels..

i will try my best to update you guys those developments.. and currently there is 1 very urgent news.. which i will be posting rite after this...

mimosa...

2009-04-25T02:41:00.010+08:00

I felt at times I do offend people.. unintentionally..

I sincerely wanna apologize for it...

I have this very bad weak point of..being unable to bring the reaction of my mind.. into my face and my expression..in a quick time...

sort of unable to said things out at the rite time..

or unable to react correctly to happenings around me...

It always happening specially when i don't feel confident with my reaction..

because i don want to offend people around me...

I always have that mind that i want my friends to be happy.. with me..

which is why at times i keep myself very quite..

at times , it became another message...

I am like a 'mimosa' plant... and when i feel not confident in my reaction..

my eyes will sometimes send a 'special unwanted misunderstanding eye power' to people around me...

as a way to protect myself

my heart is not 'bad' ... i am sure...

I love my mum very very much.. my dear very very much.. how can i have a bad heart?

I will always try my best to care for people around mi... or at the very least..

I never have bad intention to hurt or harm anyone...

of cos I will protect myself.. from being hunt by others... everyone does that...

hope i could walk out of my weakness someday....

I have made great friends because of it.. and lost some...

just have to be brave and still be myself..

because if I give up myself... no one will gimme a chance to stand up anymore...

cats...

2009-04-22T10:40:00.034+08:00

Since my dear shifted house from Saraya Lane to Butterworth a month ago...

whenever i step into her house downstairs... a very cute kitty will run towards me and greet me ...

i am a cat lover... i am sure those who loves cats knows that not all cats are friendly..

some of those cats specially those around coffee shop are actually scared of human and will run away when we intend to get a close up with them...

maybe someone actually hurt them... and they had gain the fear of getting close to human...

even if we put down some cat food on the floor... they will still look at it from far distances until we left.. before they approached to the cat food we brought for them...

but this kitty... which stays below my dear's apartment was different... she likes human touches... she likes to get close to human...and is very independent...

at one time she accidentally walk out of the apartment premises... cos i wanted to purchase some cat food at the supermarket beside it.. i open the gate and she just run out...

i was so worried and keep asking myself if she come out of the apartment premises, will she be able to to go back? as all around the apartment premises was high walls and fences..

but i still carry on my walking to supermarket to buy a can of 'Friskies' and her favorite is 'sardines with jelly'...

i walk back to my dear's apartment quicky.. and i was meowing around the apartment.. puzzling and wondering will the kitty come back to the apartment premises .. after running out of it...

to my surprise.. she did.... how she manage to climb those high walls??

i really have no idea..

cats really have 9 lives...

she appears all the sudden and meow around me..

i will sayang her forehead, open the can of 'friskies' and she will began eating...

how to know a cat is not hungry.. or doesn't wan to eat?..cats doesn't speak..

cats will actually yawns.. and try to stretch out her entire body...after eating

recently..i saw a couple brought a cage while i was walking out of my dear's apartment...

never seen her since...kinda miss the kitty...

money...

2009-04-20T15:00:00.023+08:00

Since my national service days... my mummy have entrusted me handle all the bills payments and budget planning calculations for my small and non-wealthy little family of 2 person..

I feel like I am the finance minister of the house.. and my mummy is the president who just sits there and grant permission upon request.. :)

I have learn to be calculative... I use to be a spendthrift during my ITE days.. not knowing how hard to earn money...and where money comes from...

My mum always cares for me..those days.. I must agree...

But since I finished my full-time studies and start to earn my own allowance money during national service in 2005.. I have learn that money doesn't comes easily...

Specially from a small and non-wealthy family of my.. if I didn't do the financial planning well..we might end up.. without food on the table...due to overspending..

Every single cent must be well spent...because it's hard earned either by me.. or my mummy...

Study every item properly..up side down before subscribing to the service...

Spend the least amount of money..on correct items for maximum benefits and returns...

Every month we set aside an amount of money...we called a name for it... as

'national reserves'..

It will protect us upon rainy days...

For those we are still learning how to organize personal spending..

Keep the following tips on mind...

upon obtain your salary... set an amount of money aside...

put it into a bank account ..that does not have any ATM cards...

after setting aside that amount...

plan well the remaining amount and remember

spending less then we earned .. for every month... :)

myself...

2009-04-15T10:02:00.013+08:00

Past few days, is a very great experience for me...

I am just like a frog always inside my well... with people around me having great understanding and nice heart.. due to long period of times knowing each other...

I am very happy with people.. who understands me well.. and I really thanked them down from my heart..

This few days provided me an opportunity to further understand myself... knowing my weak points..

If you ask me.. am I happy with the experiences.. I can only tell you.. going though it is painful.. but before walking into this journey .. I already more or less understand and predicted the final outcome...

But is really an experiences that test out my personal character.. and make myself understand myself better...

and I will walk it all over again if time can rewind..

Should I walk out of this comfort zone.. and step into new territories..or should I remain who I am....

If I remain who I am... will I suffer even greater in the future?

Sorry.. today post is a more or less a self reflection.. of myself

Might be beyond understanding.. apologize for it..

2009-04-07T15:38:00.002+08:00

Went out with my girlfriend on sunday.... for a movie...

i booked a pair of tickets from filmgarde

for only $6 each tickets...and popcorn + regular coke is only $2...

due to opening promotion @ the newly open Iluma

it was very worth it... we only spend $14..

after that we went to Marina Square for a walk....

We walk pass a shop.. that sells night growns and wedding dresses...

and she pulled mi in...

then the first question from the lady boss.. inside the shop was...

'when are you all having ROM'

i was like... my god.. haha.. my face turn abit hot.. red? not sure..

but this question was like..as if i am pulling her inside the shop..

and get prepared for wedding...

actually she have the urge to try some growns.. all the sudden..

so after changing the growns.. in the dressing room...

when the curtains was taken down.. i was like... woah...

my dear realli look good in night growns...

it was a white colour night growns... and it totally suits her...

but it costs $298... we decided maybe it's too early to purchase.. at the moment

dear, maybe i will get one for u someday? :)

food poisoning....

2009-04-07T15:10:00.020+08:00

Past few days.. my eyes is glued at one piece of news...

'Rojak Geylang Serai' Food Poisoning

Since I have grown up, this is the first ever time I seen someone dead because of food poisoning.

I always thought singapore is a clean and safe country compare to other countries around us and i have never think of food poisoning is able to killed someone...

I have personally suffered from food poisoning.. few years ago.. and it was like continues vomiting, diarrhoea, fever and my body was feeling very weak..

Mummy quickly pack up her things and she pull mi downstairs to fetch a cab...

to NUH hospital....

I am lucky not to be warded, but I was poke with salt water and have to lie on the observation ward for 8 hrs until the next morning...

Even those unforgettable experiences, I never thought food poisoning is powerful enough to kill someone in singapore..

Hope those suffered will recover... asap...

economy crisis...

2009-04-06T11:05:00.032+08:00

Due to recent economy crisis...my company sales had actually went downwards since january 2009 and our earnings was also affected due to the crisis.

but in return, we are getting less OT on saturday and sundays...

is this a blessing? or another crisis coming?

i felt like having a school hoilday.. after like spending all my time and efforts in my work for the past 2 years plus.. i am finally like slowing down my engine... and able to open my eyes widely and rediscover things i have missed out due to my busy schedule in work the past 2 years

walking around the city area...

holding my mummy's hand..

walking thur raffles city...

world war 2 memorial...(was built in 1967 by singapore government and people)

thur the esplanade bridge...

looking at the merlion...i can't even recalled when i last saw the merlion..

sitting down at the starbucks under the esplande bridge...this is damn relaxing.. you guys gonna try it.. looking at the city view...

walking thur singapore river... and sitting down near Cavanaugh Bridge..

rediscover.. the things i missed.. and changed...

i felt like i am getting old.. and 2 years have gone..in a blink of moment

i told my mum.. i am mentally prepared for the coming...few months.. i am not sure wat's gonna happen.. but basically.. things are beyond my control...

i am very sure.. if there is workload.. i will try my very best to perform my work.. and give my manager and employer my personal best...

but things are beyond control.. from amount of workload i am looking into...

i can't help but to shake my head..

at least.. my personal saving is still increasing...but at a slower pace..

Lets hope god bless everyone of us ... over this crisis

Less retrenchment more being employed....

because it's our rice bowl...where we live our lives...

pocky

2009-04-03T15:35:00.050+08:00

Went to NTUC Fairprice @ Bedok Central after my work...

I realize that there is this new 'Japanese/Korea Food' section inside that specially sells snacks and instants noodles from japan and korea.

There is one particular snack that is really my favorite since I was a young....

I will always go to those 'mama shop' beside my primary school

to buy one box of 'chocolate pocky' everyday after my class..for 50cents..

then i will chew and chew and let it dissolve in my mouth..

and my mouth will be filled with chocolate when i reach home...

then get scolded by mummy for not cleaning my mouth...:p

In the past.. there is only 3 favours chocolate, milk and strawberry...

Nowadays with the opening of japanese and korea snack shops around the town... even NTUC fairprice is starting to bring in these snacks...

So jealous of the kids nowadays, they are so fortune to taste those great snacks with favours which are no where found during my childhood days...

'Pocky' are now sold in many favours like kiwifruit mango, blueberry, grape, winter fudge, banana dessert, strawberry dessert.. and etc....

specially the strawberry dessert favour... it is really very nice..

do try it out.. :)

qing ming festival...

2009-04-02T16:41:00.025+08:00

It was quite a few years since I last visited my grandmother and grandfather
(last time was 2006)

and annually my mum wake up on this special day at 5pm.. and will arrived lakeside mrt by 6pm in order to board the first train to bishan mrt.

The entire journey will take 1 hour 30 minutes.. and she will reach my uncle's house at bishan usually at 7.30am.
(once the circle line mrt opens up.. this journey will be 25mins)

it's the meeting place for everyone of my mum's family before going to 光明山普觉禅寺 to visit my grandmother and grandfather
(due to work and studies different relatives comes and visit every year and never have been entire family before..unlike chinese new year)

They will gather before going to 光明山普觉禅寺 located at sims avenue.

At there we will put down all the joss-paper,joss-stick,fruits,flowers..at the offering area... and setup for a short praying ceremonies.

We will then walk into the columbarium hall located beside the offering area... I will hold my mum's hand or her shoulder area.. cause the columbarium hall corridor width is very small and everyone have to sqeeuze together.

it is not easy to locate my grandmother and grandfather as everyone (dead onces :x) is stack together from bottom of the floor to top of the roof.

Just like the kind of pattern we stay in HDB flat, stack up and live together.

So every year it took us sometime to locate the actual location.

It was an emotional moment when I saw my grandfather and grandmother.. especially grandmother which I always called 'ah puo'.

'Ah puo' tookcare of me since I was born.. and I always go to her house during the weekends when my mum didn't need to work.

she will always play with me and takecare of me.. and worry for me if any problem happens.

Everything is all rite until when I am secondary 2 on an early morning she passed away...

Words are hard to explain but.. memories will be kept in my mind forever...

Believe it anot, I have never visited her in the past few years due to work commitment until I dreamed of my grandmother..

I can't really recall the exact story of the dream ... but I am very very sure I saw her in the dream after my family visited her during last year qing ming festival and I wasn't able to visit her.

That's why this year I make an effort to visit my grandmother and grandfather at all cost..

because I can feel the meaning behind the dream of my grandmother

she really cares for me.

My mummy...

2009-04-01T13:03:00.007+08:00

Since i started working with my current job and also taking night classes for my diploma.

Most of my weekends are either at workplace and at home preparing my assignments.

Because my girlfren actually stays near my workplace, it is always easier to meet her out after my weekend OT for a meal, watch a movie or go other places.

I always feel bad that I spend very little time with my mummy.

So I will never miss any opportunity even if it is only 5mins to be with her...

I will ask my mum to go out together for lunch or dinner. Or when i come back at 11plus at night i will chat with her.. at her bedroom usually for 30mins hold her hand... while chatting with her before i go to sleep.

In my heart.. i know my mum is getting older and older day by day..

it is a very different feeling from most of my friends of my generation. Becos my mum gave birth to me at a very late age of 39 yrs old.

It logically means shorter time she can be with me.. before parting :(

No i will never miss any chance to hold her hand.. why.. becos never i wan her to leave mi..

tat day will be the saddest day of my life...

Overview of the past..2007-2008

2009-03-31T13:33:00.015+08:00

Past 2 years to me is considered an achievement and improvement to me in many areas...

1. driving license (class 3 auto)

When i first attend my practical driving lesson in September 2006.
I cannot expect myself that I would one day drive on the road.
Never have I felt I am able to drive on the road one day when I was young..never..
and I obtained my driving license on 2 Aug 2007.. a few days before my Birthday..

2. purchase a own HDB flat

Due to my family breakup, My mum was forced to surrender her owned HDB flat back to the government in 1994.
So basically for past 12 years (1996-2008) i was staying in a 2 room rented flat with my mum.
An opportunity came last year, when government decide to release flats around taman jurong..
So me and my mummy thought that since I have been working for 1-2 years already.. why not we purchase a flat and use our cpf for payment of the housing installment.
This choice prove to be a good one.. and we shifted house to another block beside it..
but at least this is a purchased flat.

3. diploma cert

Attending night classes at TMC since last year (2008) and another 1.5 years...
i will be able to obtain this cert..
this will provide mi some help and advantages in the future when required.

4. relationship (3 years)

Misunderstanding and different views between each couple is a very common problem..
I am happy to be with my eileen dear...realli
