Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew hospitalised

Image
*Below article extracted from Yahoo .* Modern Singapore’s founding father Lee Kuan Yew , was hospitalised late Wednesday for treatment of a chest infection, local media reported. Broadcaster Channel NewsAsia said the 87-year-old elder statesman was supposed to attend the wake of Balaji Sadasivan, a senior government minister who died on Monday, but was admitted to the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) instead. “Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew was planning to attend Dr Balaji’s wake this evening, but the doctors at SGH have just admitted him for treatment of a chest infection,” said the brief statement from Lee’s press secretary posted on the broadcaster’s website www.channelnewsasia.com . Lee served as Singapore’s first prime minister and is credited for transforming the city-state from a third world port to one of Asia’s wealthiest nations in just a little over 30 years. He stepped down in 1990 but continues to play an influential advisory role in government. He holds the special title mi

(^_^) But it's pretty weird to have that little chope of hair left, shave it all off lah. haha =D Can't wait to see this little cutie next week!! v(^_^)o

I am not ok, but I'm fine on my own. . . I think.

I might become like this soon. . . I'm sad/emo/heartbroken/watever u can think of to associate with sadness. In no time, I wld start losing slp & become the sad panda as above. Many a times, I put on a brave & strong front. Coz I don't want ppl around me to start worrying abt me. Even though my emotions can be read from my face. But I tried very hard to show the rest I am ok. (Contradicting? Yes, I know.) This time, I can't conceal how I feel or maybe I have no intentions to. Simple because, it really hurts BIG TIME! ='( When I saw her status on Facebook changed from "Single" to in a r/s & "It's complicated", I duno hw to react. It was like a thousand arrows piercing through my heart, PAIN is the only feeling I had. I am really not okay. Seeing Qiqi & hearing her sing (Finally after nearly 3mths!) makes me happy for that few hours at Lunar, but they didn't manage to take the hurt away. In fact, the sad songs sang make me feel

As clear as a glass of plain water?

1 of my "wives" (MC) in SDC bought this book when she went Taiwan. 《等一个人咖啡》 - 九把刀- Direct Translation : Waiting for one person coffee But I think what the author was trying to say was to wait for someone who appreciate the same type of coffee as you. Read : Common Interests 1 fine day, MC came over to me excitedly. She was usually a calm person who's not easily amused or excited. So her hyper-ness got me excitedly too. She said, "Hey! I have got a book & I think you would like it! Will bring & lend to you!" My immediate reply to her was, "BUT I really take a VERY long time in reading 1 book." With a I-know-it-long-ago smile, she said, "Yes, I know. It's ok as I've finished reading it. You can take your time to read." (Sy, in case u've forgotten; ur book, "He's just not that into you." is still with me. Heez =P In case any1 wants to borrow from you or u wana read it again, den u let me know, I'll return to

Bought this album on 6th Sep 2010. Immediately listened to it on the car journey home from 313@Somerset with CL & xy. CL asked, "Do you think her songs in this album are nice?" My reply to her, "If you ask me, I can't give you an honest answer. I like her, I would think her songs are nice." That's my weak point & I know it. When I like someone, I'll support her all the way no matter what. When it comes to my idols, I insist on buying ORIGINAL CDs. I have strong principles too. No matter WHO you are, even if you are someone I'm going after, I would NEVER send you the songs by ripping from their CDs. =P And for every album of my idols which I bought, I'll always make it a point to listen to the WHOLE CD for at least 3times. The first round is to listen & find out what song genres are being recorded in the CD. Next is to listen to the song with the lyrics book in hand & follow through. For the 3rd time, I usually put on my ear piece

A day out with Lyn's kiddies!! =P

Image
10th Sep 2010, Fri - Went Tampines IKEA and T2 Swensens with tyl, Lyn & her 2 kids! (^^,) Most people knows I love kids! When I'm happy, I like to play with them & be even HAPPIER. When I'm down, just seeing them SMILE brightens up my whole day. The smile in every kid; always so real & innocent. Little Sherlyn was too small to sit on her own in the trolley. So Uncle Ivan has to hold onto her. While we were having a serious chat, Auntie Stace interrupted us by taking our photo. Uncle Ivan as usual was camera ready 90% of the time & BB Sherlyn wasn't v.pleased. =P Kids nowadays are "maturing" faster. Tis little fellow likes to drink coffee! And yes, she really was telling her mum she wants my coffee instead of her apple juice. When asked to finish her food, she did that action. haha =P Even her Mummy doesn't know where she learnt that from! Finally, BB Sherlyn's in a better mood for photo taking. Of coz, must seize the chance to do so. =D I l

B'day Celebrations!!

Well, if you're loyal readers of my blog since ages ago, you should know I always have few weeks LONG b'day celebrations with afew group of friends every year! That kind of explains the lack of updates in my blog. However, I think recently my readership has dropped or my readers were all too busy to follow up on my blog either. Coz usually, I wld get COMPLAINTS tags, emails & smses on the lack of new entries if I've "abandoned" my blog for afew days. This time, there wasn't a single voice of complaint. HELLO! Are you folks still there? I hope so!! =) So, hw were the celebrations? GREAT FUN! <- That's an understatement, but I can't find the right words to describe. And I think I've more or less done with my celebrations ba? =P 21st Aug 2010, Sat - Batam trip with Jie & Serene!!! Her 1st time eating A&W! She was as HAPPY as a kid opening her Christmas prez & realized it's EXACTLY wat she asked from Santa! When one thing is rare

Just you VS gravity. Weights not needed. These exercises look simple on its own, but I tell you, they are really NOT! And as per instructed, in 15mins, we should complete 3reps. I took 30mins to finish them & almost wanted to give up 1/2 way. That 30mins make me perspire like I'd jog an hour. *faints* But I felt pretty good after that despite the soreness in my back, arms & legs. =P Now, what do you do? Do in this sequence:- 1 & 4 first for three sets each and then 2, 3, 5 for three sets each. Step 1 : 'Y' Squat Stand with your shoulder blades pulled back and your arms extended up and out so your body forms a 'Y'. With your feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart, sit back at your hips to lower your body. Go as low as possible w/o allowing your back to round. Squeeze your glutes and push yourself back to the starting postition. Do 12 reps. Step 2 : Wall Slide Stand with your butt, upper back, and head against a wall. Raise your arms so that your sho
