40 is just a number.

My "God" was born 40 years ago on 30th June 1969. I never really dare to try & sing her songs in the KTV though I love her beyond words can describe! Coz I have the fear of "destroying" her song. My 1st ever idol which I have been crazy over for 14 long years. Seeing her in person was the BEST thing that ever happened to me. She's more "godly" to me than ever after I've seen her face to face. This is Eagle Pan with her bro, 潘协庆! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAN MEI! 我永远的偶像!! Whenever I go KTV, I nv failed to tell my friends, "潘协庆是潘美辰的哥哥!" And if u duno which are the songs he wrote, here's a short list:- 1) Fish Leung - 我不快乐/我喜欢 2) Rene Liu 刘若英 - 当爱在靠近 3) Andy Lau - 会说话的哑巴 4) S.H.E - 无可取代 5) Angela - 天边 The list goes on. =) Rem 2 look out for his name at the start of these MVs the next time u go KTV!

Went Pastamania with KA on Thurs. Shared with them on the reasons for my sad/emo Facebook status. Thx for always listening & giving me the advices! =) I *HEART* every1 of u! 小饭团会振作,不再自甘多罗! Tried this Toriwasa pasta. The green sauce is wasabi, super NICE! Chilled out @ Holland V Breko with Karen, Shane, Sy & Eric. My Iced Chocolate Float! Quite nice, but I still LOVE Iced Chocolate with Gelato @ Dome!! A short conversation I had wif Qi b4 I went out last nite:- Qi: Where are u going? Me: Meeting Karen for drinks. Qi: Coffee or alcohol? Me: Coffee lah. *lol* I thought only going out with Sy or CL for drinks will give Qi's the impression tt I'm going for an alcohol night. So Karen also. haha =P The chat with Karen & Shane till 3am+ was totally FRUITFUL. It was worth sacrificing my slp for. Or rather, I sincerely thank them for sacrificing their slp to listen to my stories & provide valuable advice. I'm starting 2c abit of light. And bcoz Shane recommended the s

He's a sporty friend! =D Table tennis, diving, sailing, basketball, bowling, rifle, volley ball, track & field, soccer & swimming, he knows it all! Life's never bored with him around!! v(^_^)o And his name is FRASIA!! These are the only designs I've collected, I think I missed out on alot. Bt well, most impt is I've got the bball one! =) Look @ my Frasia collection!! Qiqi brought her students to the Asian Youth Games 2009 opening & she got this back for me. And this mini fan too! =) Nice! This is the main highlight! Qi ordered this specially for me as a b'day prez. She said, "It's more meaningful to give it to u now as AYG wld be over when ur b'day is here!" Most imptly is, she said, "Promise me u wld be HAPPY when u receive my gift, den I'll give it to u." Thank You, Qiqi! I really lov

Sudoku Semi-Finals!

Image
The goodie bag as usual. =) I'm not sure y (or rather dun wana admit) as I woke up tis morning, I have a feeling that came over me, "I don't feel like going to the Semi-Finals, simply no mood." Yet, I went. Coz I noe I wld regret or let alot of ppl down shld I give up on this juz b'coz of a small setback. Therefore, I tried to chase away the moody feelings by eating McGriddles for b'fast! But, the stds have dropped; nt as nice as it was first introduced into the mkt. Took 22mins to complete 2easy, 1 medium & 1 taxing puzzle. I wld say it's a very slow personal time. I had mental block & overwhelming emotions which I hafta try hard enuf to fight off. Now can only pray & hope I can make it to the Finals. Results would be out by 13th July 2009. (^_^) *pray for me, folks!*

Celebrities' fever!

If you've not heard, King of the Pop, Michael Jackson has just passed away. Read more here . Though his image/reputation was not very positive in these recent years, his songs really touched our hearts & also brought life to the music industry in the earlier stage. Let's just keep wonderful memories(songs) of his in our mind from this moment on. RIP, MJ. . . Okay, on a much HAPPIER note. Tml, Taiwan would be holding their 金曲奖 - Golden Melody Award. Do you know which song won 年度最佳歌曲獎 - the Best Song Award of the Year of the 1st Golden Melody Awards in 1991? Yeah, she did! My Eagle Pan!! With her song, 《我想有个家》!

I think, these are interesting.

This morning, as I was travelling to work, I saw an Audi A6 & a Toyota Vios "playing" chase on the KJE. ZROOM ZROOM! They overtake right infront of me, stupid drivers nearly scared the shit out of me. I could see the Toyota Vios leading, I think the problem lies with the Audi driver lah. In afew seconds, I lost sight of them. However, it was not for long. My X1-R humbly & slowly bypass the 2 speeding cars. My speed was only 80km/hr then. Coz they were stopped by the morning peak hour jam. haha =P Quoting my fave DJ's tagline, "不管你是辆跑车,或是一辆普通的轿车;遇到交通阻塞,你就是一辆不能动的车!" I really think it totally suits the case this morning! See my humble ride! I was still feeling moody & emo. I cldn't resist 苦笑 when I saw the horoscope section in Tuesday MyPaper. My horoscope said, "对待感情不要抱着“报复”心态,不要因为对方对你不好,故意去做某一些事情挑战对方。" Then there's this 小蒜头提醒:处女座最近会看见让你振奋的“希望之光”,只要朝着这股光芒前进,自然会找到你的春天。 Her horoscope said, "事业和感情方面,如果再不积极行动就会失去机会,或者将出现更难以应付的竞争对手。&q

Nv underestimate the power of FATE!

Image
I saw a photo on Facebook today & I'm really amazed by the power of Fate or rather the lack of it in this case. I was at the same place as her. I saw the event taking place. The crowd was not very big. In the photo, she was wearing a bright color top. It wldn't be difficult to spot her with the top plus her radiant (shining) appearance. But yet, we didn't bump into each other on that day. I only know she was there when I saw her frenz posted the photos on facebook. Oh man.

This is for MY DAD!

Yes, u didn't read the title wrongly. (That is if u even look @ my entry's title.) Yesterday was Father's Day & many years back, I think we do celebrate it. It's only when I wana blog abt dad den I realized we didn't take much photos tgt. Oh, well. It's okay den. It's nt his looks that I wana share with u folks 2nite. Those who have know me LONG enough, know very well how much I've hated him till his deathbed. For those who didn't, it's over; no point saying much either. However, no matter how much I've hated him, I have to admit I've learnt quite a fair bit from him for the 21yrs I was with him. He was a v.strict dad & in our younger days, wat he said always count. No1 is to say a 2nd word. He used 2 set a time for afternoon nap on Sundays & everyone is to go slp tgt. (We used 2 live in a 2room flat, so we shared 1 bedrm.) It was only years ltr I realized y didn't I get tired during mon classes. It was all those naps he f

Suntanning @ ECP 210609!

I've prayed & wished for VERY HOT weather. One should really be careful of wat one wished for. Coz the temp was 45deg based on the reading on the portable radio I brought along. It was freaking HOT & I think my lips are sunburnt le. That was also y I left @ 2pm+ instead of the planned 3pm. haha =P Bt well, all's worth it with my Justice Bao's tanned skin. =) Even Aunt Shannon got a shock when she reached home after breaking camp. The nice clouds! From where I was being BBQ-ed. Since my blog seems 2 have a "making wishes come true" ability, no harm making 1 more wish. I'm going to start classes on 1st July 2009 le, Serene said that marks the end of my freedom days. I wished I can mark the end of my anor kind of freedom days soon! May she provide at least the slightest clue on what should I do next. =)

Juz anor simple day filled with LOVE!

My 1st Father's Day prez of the year! Cupcakes from Qiqi! Though I've yet to try them, I noe they surely taste VERY NICE! (Sidenote to 飞行侠: This is an example of SWEET action frm a family member to anor. And I have been doing these kinda things to family & frenz, ok? Heez =P) Brought my friends to SDC! I love my workplace, so must keep promoting it! The happy "last min" being dragged there CL with her caricature. See how HAPPY she is! Okay, she was 1/2 deceived, 1/2 tempted to join us. All I did was gave her a call, "I'm bringing them to Marina Barrage after that." (MB's photos are with her.) Meet the snipers! All GEARED up for 3D Monsters VS Aliens! The nice sky as we were leaving SDC. Suntanning(BBQ-ing) myself @ ECP tml!! Praying for SUPER HOT weather! Will be there from 10am - 3pm if luck's on my side. Drop by to say "Hi!" if u folks are going! =)

My dear readers, it's 20th June 2009. I know I was back from Taiwan for 2mths & 5 days. Yet, my update is only till day 6 of our trip. Heez =P Pardon me for the slowness. Like I've mentioned previously, I'm busy BBQ-ing myself all over Sunny Island now. =) Ok, w/o wasting more time, let's see wat we did on day 6! Finally, we're leaving 西门町-ximending after 5 FANTASTIC days! So must take a photo mah. =) Upon reaching the railway stn. . . Ivan, smile while u can. =) When they said, u're gona take the small train aka 小火车, DON'T doubt them. It was REALLY small, SUPER cramp! Backpacks are really the best if u're gona travel ard. My travelling companions on the 1st part of small train journey. When FINE prints are concerned, pls read!

BRAND’S® Asia Pacific Sudoku Challenge 2009!

Image
After sending in my entry, I was still worrying if I can make it this year. Coz like I was telling Aunt Shannon, "I think my brain's failing me. I take longer time to solve a single puzzle nowadays." Aunt Shannon was very couraging, "Try doing more puzzles to improve." And I did as I was told. It helps but I think I still need to do more in order to improve my speed. I duno if it's age or stress, I get mental block on some days as I do my puzzles. DAMN! Wat could be the problem? I must stay alert & focused! I must get a better placing this time! Now that I have make it into the semi-finals, I need to work on more puzzles now! Go, go 加油 Ivan!! v(^_^)o Semi-finals on 27th June 2009, wish me luck, folks! =)

The recent UPDATES!

Okay, I noe I've been neglecting my blog alittle. Coz I'm busy BBQ-ing myself on Sunny Island, Singapura! =) My suntanning buddy - Claudine! This is King Of Gamblers @ Sentosa! A week later. . . I went ECP with CL. She's a "rain-god". Coz twice I went beach with her, it RAINS!! The sky was still clear when we first reached ECP. In an hour time, it became like that & started raining. But luck's on my side, it only rained for half an hr. In total, I suntanned for nearly 4hrs on that day. And the result of suntanning for 2 consecutive sundays? I became like my idol, Justice Bao. KA bao beis said I shld put a moon cut out on my forehead the next time I go suntanning. I didn't think I'm really v.tanned till . . . We took this group photo! Sasa - the b'day girl used 2b the most tanned. See my comparison with her now! But I still think I'm NOT tanned enough. Like I told my colleagues, "This week u see a Malay, next wk, be prepared to see an I

Fish - Be There Team!

I usually reached office @ ard 7.20 - 7.30am when I start wk @ 8.30am Yesh, I'm inhuman. Many would say, but I have this phobia. And it's "Afraid 2b LATE!". Nt kidding abt tis. I have bad judgement on time, nv correctly estimate my time when I'm going for an appt. Okay, I can go on for days on the time issue. BUT this entry is to show u how CREATIVE & FUN my colleagues can be! June Teo, one of my colleagues, whose desk is 1 of those I've to pass through whenever I head to the pantry in the morning. I was SHOCKED to see her desk all "WRAPPED UP"! We have a FISH Committee in our Company & they're supposed to think of how to celebrate b'days for the other colleagues. The ideas they have are really AMAZING! Even her rubbish bin was wrapped up, the cleaner auntie cldn't find it when she was going ard 2 empty rubbish bins. Her b'day prez is hidden in 1 of the wrappers. Best part is they hid her cabinet keys among the "presents&

May & June Babies!!

Sorry for the outdated post for my May Babies! haha =P Had a mini homely b'day celebration for them on 17th May, Sun @ my humble home. Blog entry was delayed for afew excuses, (in case any1 wana noe) : 1) Internet was down. 2) I was waiting for photos from piggies. 3) Indecisive whether to blog on this. (Qi said, u dun want other grp of friends to nag at u for this, den dun blog.) Bt who cares? wahaha *lol* This is the mini feast I've cooked up for the piggies. Coz they said they noe me for 9yrs & I nv cook anything for them. Yet, I baked a b'day cake for sunshine gal. So now, I noe my tagboard MIGHT get flooded with : - 1) FXX - I also know you for 15yrs & I nv get 2 taste ur cooking! 2) 5G1U - We too know u for 13yrs. 3) I simply have too many frenz & u're all free to voice out. haha *lol* From our looks, u noe we HAD a GREAT time celebrating their b'days! Since year 2000, we've been going strong despite the many UPs & DOWNs all these yrs. I
