Do you see him? Yes, the mouse! He's so cute loh, I tell u! And this show is nice, won't disappoint you just like the 1st one. Or rather, if you like the first one, you would love this! For freedom, for Narnia & for Aslan, the Narnians fought against Miraz. P/S: I feel that this is a fantastic show. However, different ppl have diff likings & opinions, so catch it at your own risk. =)

2nd day of my short break!

Image
Went Cuppage to meet my ex-colleagues for lunch. Coz they insist on treating me to a fare well lunch. So we had lunch at Waraku Jap restaurant. The food were quite good and I think prices are reasonable. I read wonderful news on MyPaper today! My dear Shino 林晓培 is releasing her new album on 12th of June! Wohoo! v(^_^)o Finally, after so long & so much stuff that has happened to her, she's making a new start! May her album sells like hotcakes once more!

IKEA with Aunt Shannon!

Image
Aunt Shannon wanted to tidy her room & needed a storage box. Uncle Ivan is taking a break from work & so being a nice guy, I acc her to Ikea @ Alexandra. And we decided to have a nice meal to celebrate our going to be on a diet! If you get what we mean lah. haha =P The nice food we ordered. Damages done = $28.20 & perhaps a kg more on the scale. Ok, it's diet-ing time!

The little things in life which makes you smile!

Image
Though some of us would be extremely happy if we can be one of the 16 lucky winners to win $314,187 for the toto draw on Friday. There are still little things in life which can makes you smile. For me, it can be... Souvenirs from friends who went overseas. These are from Karen! =) Or finding your fave childhood toy! And it's only selling at $2! I think it used to sell at $10 each. I used to have 2 and when my dad got hold of the other 1, he would play shooting with me. I can tell you, it's pretty painful de loh! Erm, u can go ask Aunt Shannon now. Coz I just tried out on her just now! waha *lol*

Packed Saturday!

Early in the morning, buddy Shuon and his gf came to pick me up for b'fast. It'd been a long time since we last met. Had a good chat from Kovan back to Wdls. =) Pal, all the best in all areas of your life! Treasure your gf since you have decided that she's the one. Then xiong came to meet me and we went to Marina Square Rocky Master. Wanted to find out more abt the job, but the mgr said it would be better if I can go to the HQ and talk to their HR. Ok, shall check out other cafes 1st. After passing the hammie to Caihong who collected the hammie on Jaime's behalf, xiong and I went to walk around in Suntec. There was this Yoyo Championship going on and some of the players were really terrific! Oh, cannot forget to mention that we saw this really cool girl at the arcade! She broke the high score for the basketball game with a 500+ points! What's more, she's pretty cute looking too. At last, xiong & my taste are the same. =) Girls who play basketball well &

Farewells...

It's my last day of service today. I've completed my 1 year of contract. Time for celebration! haha =P Well, it's the longest I stayed on a job since I graduated from Poly. Next job would be my 2nd longest de! =) I would make that happens. My colleague, May got this for me when she went out for lunch. Nice egg tart & hot latte! =) The gifts from my colleagues. Another too precious to be lost pen. Think it'll just be added to my collection of pens again? Next time if anyone wana give me pens, just buy those 5 for $1 from pasar malam, ok? I've posted an ad on ebay and also msged some of my friends to look out for new owners for my hammies. I didn't expect anyone to reponse though. Today, someone saw the ebay ad and msged me saying his/her brother wants one. Then evening time, Jaime msged to get one for her cousin. So 皇迪 will be leaving its dad and siblings tml for a new home. Baby, daddy will miss you. But I'm sure your new owner would love you as much as

Surprise!

I reached home to find a wonderful surprise in my mail box! You know what's the meaning of being a Jie of 20+ cousins? This is it! These are Cards Paster from our dearest Jie! On the Hello Kitty note, she wrote, "For my 3 lovely cousins =) I think you peeps will be able to figure out which is for who. =) Take Care! Love, Jie" At 1 glance, I know instantly which is for who! And that only goes to show how well Jie knows us! And I told Jie I might be going to Taiwan with my friends in Aug/Sep & she got these brochures + name cards for me! Aren't you damn envy of me? haha =P Thanks, Jie! A big beary hug to you! \(^_^)/ You're the best! And yah, no Hebe, but still happy! =D Side note: People always ask, "So, do you like Chip or Dale?" And I would say, I prefer Chip. But that wouldn't means I don't like Dale. Coz Chip would not be Chip without Dale, they're inseparable! =)

If you think...

If you think... I pay respects to my dad because of regrets, you are wrong! I have no regrets. I don't respect him as a dad, coz there's still plenty of room for him to improve if he was alive. But at least I respect him as a man who stayed faithful to his wife for 21yrs of marriage. Hey Hx, Tyl & Lyn! The 10th guy we were talking about @ CWP the other time, my dad is the one too! And that's why he has a son like me who's faithful to one and loyal to all. =P If you think... just because I kept my mouth shut, I know nothing, you are wrong! Being a pro in 7th sense, I still know what you did last summer. If you think... this is just a phase that will pass, you are wrong! Coz it'll just go on for the rest of my life. DO NOT use death, regrets, or even victims losing their families in the Myanmar or Sichuan's disasters to change my mind. A living dead like me knows no feelings. If you think... I'll talk to her someday, you are wrong! I'm perfectly fine w

Gifts for a recruit!

A farewell gift from my colleague, Serene. Swiss Chocolate! I am the youngest purchaser in the dept & everyone of them knows this kiddie loves Chocolate! Though they no longer cheer me up when I'm down, I still love eating them! Oh, I went to have a haircut just now. And for around 14years since I started using my Christian name... It's the 1st time some1 actually says, "Hey! Your name is nice!" You really can sense the truthfulness in her tone & all. Plus she enjoys calling my name too. Coz after knowing my name, she used it in every qns she asked. "Ivan, did you just knock off from work?" "Ivan, do you live nearby?" "Ivan, so you walked here?" "Ivan, have you had your dinner?" And the qns went on & on...
