The first time I meet my god daughter 3 months after she was born. In a sense, I'm almost grateful for the near fatal heart-attack that forced me out of the office.the first time I'm carrying her, and I am terrified. I think she's kinda worried about me too. Much happier in mommy's hands My sis and I agreed, that when she grows up, she'll open a florist next to her place. I …
You know what, I just about had it. Drill a hole in my wallet, and fuck around with my life. Play God if it's all I care.But don't insult my intelligence while you're at it.I can stand it if our taxes are raised, even though we are running on a tax 20% surplus nearly every single year since independance. I can even accept that the powers that be change rules on a whim and …
Once upon a time, there were 3 birds. Yes, Avians. Get your minds out of the gutter dammit. They were Ostrich, Duck and Eagle. Now these 3 are really good friends and they wanted to really excel in their lives.And since all 3 of them believe in the power education, they decided to enroll into the world's most prestigous Bird School, at the world-class Jurong Bird Park in the …
I was never much of a spectator sport person. But after graduating from school, there are certain advantages to watching a basketball game at 30, compared to watching the Inter-School Basketball competition, A Division. I call them the 4 Bs. They are...Beer Courtesy of QiaoyunBabesA Picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures.Video courtesy of Jean

This reminds me of the time when I was in Hell, Norway. Population 2,436. It was actually quite pretty. Cold though.Strange thing is, there was a sign there that said, Hell Gods Expedition.How can you not love the English language?
1. Get on AMERICA'S version of The Amazing Race and Win it.2. Survivor Singapore. Oh don't have ah? Dammit.3. Take $10 million and go into a casino. You'd probably win 1 mil but lose the 10, but hey, you won.4. Pray to Tee Kong every day, and spend every single cent you have buying ToTo tickets, 4D, and Big Sweep.5. Go to a Slingers game, register at the website, and then …
It was hard, but after dodging and hiding, ducking and weaving... I. Did. It.Didn't get plastered on NYE. 364 days to go. 2 running bets right now, any one else? Heh heh heh.
1. I shall not get hammered. 2. I shall keep the current phone I have right now, till the end of the year. 3. I shall cut down on swearing, except behind the wheel.Baby steps, baby steps... Review every month end. Let's go!
For NOT getting hammered yesterday night. The guitar was a good shield against incoming drinks.Note to self: Bring guitar for drinking sessions. Ask to be paid in cash, not kinds. Oh, and learn a few more songs.
Yes, folks. As I mentioned last year, it's CHRISTmas again.And here's a random fact about me. I. Do. Not. Party. On. Christmas. Or the eve for that matter.This is the one day of the year, I believe to spend with the people that are significant to me, rather than making out with a hot, random woman in a dark corner of a club.That's not to say that I'll say no, if some hot, …
the shouts of "Referee Kayu!" echoed across the basketball court at the Indoor Stadium.Singapore Slingers just got a little more Singaporean. Heh heh heh.My report of the match in a while... but in the mean time... It's times like this that you know, that I am loved by the powers that be.Cheer leaders with short skirts and beer. It was a good game.
Now you know how much phone thieves like me... Now there's something to get back at them. It's not exactly a detonator in the phone, but it IS the next best thing.Get that stolen gadget back!With the advancement of technology, more and more gadgets are getting smaller packing much more information than before.When a device like your mobile phone, pda phone, blackberry, iPod, …
I am afraid of heights.There, I said it. Put me by the side of a building, and I get sweaty palms, my legs start to tremble and I have an overwhelming urge to run away from the vertigo. The same with toe socks and Teletubbies.And that's the reason why I think I'm gonna go take up skydiving.I am also terrified of climbing high in life, and then getting arrogant, getting snotty …
This is in memory of the library @ Orchard. The bookworm in me'll miss the place. No more place to sleep when I am between appointments.Thank you Jean for involving me in the project. Thanks to Ridz, Alice, Tianhong, and Ridzuan's friend who I forgot the name of, for putting up with my endless chatter. The effects of sleep deprivation is insidious.
Looking back, I still think of my granny's dog. It's called Foxer and I like to think of it as a him.Foxer's pretty responsible. Anyone that comes to the gate at my grandma's place, he'll rush out to bark his head off. When that someone puts a hand on the gate latch, he feels it has done his duty, and heads back to his usual place under this really big table in the front …
