Hello.

Hello, I can’t remember what  I dreamt about last night, but I woke up smiling. =)

Hello from the land of philippines! I am so so tired, been wanting to do this post as the days goes by but I was too freaking knocked out everyday.

Anyway , Philippines has kinda been a blast. It feels good to been in other countries and being treated like a VIP. And experiencing a different culture all together.

Staying up till late at night to play mahjong on a hotel bed. Trying lots of fast food and eating the next meal just two hours later. It is fat. But then again, you only live once right?

In a few more hours , I will be back on sg and life will be back to the normal boring hours again. Can’t wait for Bkk trip.

Till then. Mabuhuay! Wait that’s hi in Philippines . Ok bye .

Happy Birthdays and Goodbyes

Hello, I am back. Urgh, my phone’s light is blinking, let me reply a message first.

Ok done. First of all , happy birthday Mum. Doubt you are ever gonna see this but thanks for all the TLC and patience you have given me for the past 22 years. thanks for endearing so much for this family and giving it your best regardless of whatever nonsense that we have given you. I wish you good health and happiness.

I think it’s quite cool of my parents to be born on the same year and just 2 weeks apart from each other. I mean, exactly 14 days, so if it’s a Thursday for my dad’s birthday, it will always be a Thursday for my mum’s birthday too.

Goodbye to you Ashley. Doubt you will ever see this too, but just to say, I am really really fortunate to have such a great friend like you, always so forgiving , and so understanding. Always so readily to help others. 3 years, it’s not really short or long. But what’s most important is to have a fulfilling journey, experience and love it as much as you can. and take really good care of yourself.

I was thinking to myself , what if I were to go for studies overseas, what would I feel? I was telling my khakis : ” wah, I would feel damn happy that I can learn to be independent and experience something that is refreshing and enriching at the same time.” But I was at the departure hall, seeing Ashley saying goodbye to everyone, and hugging everyone, especially the parents, seeing them do a prayer for Ashley, my heart changed from excitement to sadness. Sadness because what does it feel to leave your love ones and venture out on your own. Guys being the egoistic bunch of people, will try very hard to keep their tears in them. And yes, goodbyes are hard. But sometimes, goodbyes are meant to be for the sake of new beginnings right?

I guess this week is quite interesting too. We were on the topic of marriage because one of my friends (my age) may be getting married soon, as in she is done with the guy proposing and stuff. The problem is it isn’t really supported by her peers, her family because of her age, the financial support that she is having.

I have a question, what does it exactly mean by the sentence : ” I am ready.” Who are we as outsiders to say that: ” No lah, you are not ready. Where can marry so young?  How to buy house like that? ” Don’t get me wrong, I am not being supportive of my friend in this scenario. I firmly believe that living in Singapore, you cant possibly get married if you do not have a strong financial planning/background. I roughly did a math sum and if you do not have at least 10k , chances are you are not ready. So yea, but on another point of view, when two people are in love, I guess we as friends, can only offer the couple or rather the friend, advice. Whether to heed or not, it’s entirely up to them/him/her. So yea, start saving people, you never know when you will ever need it.

Till then.

Happy Birthday Dad

First of all, happy birthday dad, you have hhit 50. And as your son, I wish for you to have good health, abundance of wealth and better temper in the future years. Though you will never ever read this but yea, hope you enjoyed your day even though it wasn’t extravagant and just a simple dinner and a simple walk in Orchard. But hope you were happy.

I still think that I am a very service oriented person, today’s incident at Ban Restaurant really affect me. I am still kind of affected even though the incident happened in the morning. Still, I guess I will never go there again to pay for a lousy service and lousy quality of food. But I have made up my mind to send an email over to the management. Those kind of people should be fired.

So January is officially ending tomorrow, and yes, I am officially disappointed. So are promises meant to be broken, should friends lie to each other about promises ? Or should friends be upfront to each other and tell each other what are the things they have done wrong to hurt the other party? I guess I personally agree with the latter. Seriously, I give up. I have given too many chances, forgiving you again and again, telling myself that hey, maybe you are really that busy. But at least, show some effort. Even the slightest sentence would mean something, but there isn’t. And here I was, waiting like some dumb fool , holding on to the dear friendship.  So I would say, all the best to you. And till our paths cross again.

On a happier note, Happy Chinese New Year 2011 guys. Let there be sunlight again soon. We need that for CNY don’t we?

Memory failing

Is it true that when you get older, your memory will become poorer? But that isn’t the case to our MM Lee leh. Or President Nathan. Or SM Goh. Anyway, I couldn’t really remember when was the last time I blogged. Let me check. Oh, the new year post. Haha. Oh well, here is another update.

So Hello Earthlings, can you believe that January is ending like next week?! Seriously, ain’t that a little fast? I was telling a friend : ” Before we knew it , Christmas’s gonna be here.” And her reaction was  : ” Huh? Christmas just over right? ” LOL.  True.

Today was really a family day. A month ago, I bought tickets for Singapore Flyer and the River Cruise at a discounted rate, and asked my cousin to buy for her family too and off we went. My grands, my family and her family. I figured it happened quite recently about bringing my family to visit all these places that they will not go if no one bring them there. Like bringing them to Sentosa for the luge and sky ride, going to RWS. Singapore has so many places that the locals have not visited yet. Frankly speaking, the last time I went to the bird park, it was like 15 years ago. And I have never stepped into botanic gardens before.

But all these are essential for family bonding isn’t it? In the end, despite all the quarrels about having to walk from this point to another, the disputes about the parking fees, I think all went well.

CNY is going to here. But I was looking at my past cny photos and I made a pact that my running routine will start tomorrow. Or I tell you, its gonna be cmi.

And January is going to end soon. Promises are meant to be broken, isn’t it?

Hello 2011.

I guess lots of posts starts with Happy New year! or something along that line, but anyway, Good bye 2010. And hello 2011.

I don’t really know if I should do a reflection post of how 2010 went but I admit my memory is failing me. But I seriously feel 2010 whizzed by. 2010, a year full of turning points, friendships, work, career, life.

I ord-ed , quite peacefully this year. Ending my 2 years of national service, grew fatter (am still growing =( ) Some friendships staled, begin a job which may be my career. Saw a few deaths this year that reminds me of how vulnerable life is.

Yea basically sums up my 2010.

Please let 2011 be better.

Stay Strong

Hello Martians, been too lazy to blog, but so much stuff have happened around me this December.  So much so that it’s a little overwhelming for me I would say.

 

I guess one of the things that kinda hit me the most was the passing of my good friend’s dad. I believe people of my age, or rather my generation are not prepared to face this kind of stuff. I mean, face it. We are not mentally prepared. and the thing is we do not want this kinda thing to happen too. But reality check, we have to face it sooner or later. What made me realised was how raw we are in terms of what to do, what are the customs to follow, what are the dos and don’ts . What will happen if someone dear just disappears from your life, I guess I will be super lost. It’s a fear. A fear that we do not want to come face to face with. But stay strong my friend, stay strong.

Christmas is here, 2010 will be ending soon. It seemed like yesterday that i wrote this sentence “I will do a post on my 2009″ and poof, its here. Oh well, 2011 will be even better.

and my wordpress is snowing. reminds me of a post that cherriann wong wrote last year. Something about the snow too. HAHA. ok bye.

What ifs.

It was a “oh god, finally it ended” Sunday. Lol. I was practically driving around even though I had this lack of sleep thing going on around me. So much so that I mounted on a kerb while I was doing a illegal U-turn. Haha. Must have scared the shit out of my auntie even though my mum told her beforehand that I am a safe driver, which I am, just that I was not in the correct mood today.

So anyway, driving and stuff.What happened was supposed to be a nice treat for my grandparents turned out that a fish bone was stuck in my brother’s throat during dinner. Went with him to the A&E and practically spent my night there. So I was wondering, what if? What if I didn’t suggest to go to that place for dinner, what if my mum didn’t give him that piece of fish, what if my brother checked and chews before swallowing that god damn piece of fish.

Of course, that wasn’t my main point. My main point was in this world, there are too many what ifs. But life is just about taking chances isn’t it. And if we were to know what is going to happen every minute in our lives, wouldn’t that be a tad too boring? For example, if a guy wants to go into a relationship, but keeps thinking what ifs and what ifs, chances are he will never be brave enough to step into this “venture” right?

But then again, sometimes its fun to have “what ifs” in life too. Adds a little excitement and fantasy don’t you think?

And another week begins.

Hello, I am typing this post with a.. should I say heavy heart? I guess I am disappointed, disappointed with the way some people manage their relationships, treating it so lightly as if it doesn’t exist. Promises broken after another, how to establish a strong relationship? I thought we were supposed to be good friends that confide in each other, why the distance now when the other party doesn’t know a shit what has he done wrong?

That aside, I still find it amazing that I went to Sentosa twice this month already. Went once with 2d people and once with my family. I feel heartened to see my family enjoying themselves, proves the money spent was worth it.

And I am typing this post when I am in the office.  HAHAHA!

 

Kthxbye.
