I LOVE HAMMIES!! Most ppl should know this; but why, some may ask. There's no specific reason though and in fact, I love most animals! =P That's why I love to go to the Zoo Zoo Zoo! Yoshi has passed on & I'd thought of getting a new companion. Dearest Ah-Dai offered me her hammies! Originally, I only wanted 1 and let it be named Hei bi (Hokkien), 黑皮 (Chinese) & Happy(English)! But coz the 2 hammies she has are close like superglue, she couldn't bear to separate them. In the end, I brought i-Jia & i-Le home and bought a divider cage for them. (They still live under 1 roof where they can smell and "talk" to each other. Only thing is they can't get intimate.) To most, it seems cruel. To me, it's just being responsible owner. =) Breeding is not doing your pets good if you're not prepared to take care of too many at one time. Pets are not toys which you can just shelve them off whenever you're not interested anymore. Their w

1 of the few readers I've left is making noise again! Complaining that my blog is TOO QUIET & cobwebs are all over it. I was busy, really too busy for the past few months. For those few who already know, I've took over my colleague's new portfolio with NO PROMOTION OR PAY RAISE. To your disappointment, no free lunches/dinners for you folks. Yes, I didn't ask my boss anything about that. Before you start commenting how silly I am, pls find out what kind of person she is first. But it's okay lah, I strongly believe she'll give me what I deserved. Throughout my 3 years of working with her, she has never ill-treat me with the staff welfare/benefits I should get. Let's just wait till next promotion period in July to see how, yah? My exams are finally over & if all goes well, I'll be CAT certified! Results will be out in Feb. =) *prays hard* Long weekends for Christmas were spent on gatherings & not even leaving me for spare time to

Out of sight is equal to out of mind after all... Coz u said we were better off as friends, I respected your decision. We still keep in touch via sms/whatsapp/emails. No longer do I ask you out, not that I don't wana see you, but I need time to get over it. I thought I've gotten over you, till you informed me that you were leaving... U have had plans on this even when we were still hanging out tgt. I should be more or less prepared but you seem to be contemplating on that idea back then so I didn't think much of it either. Like I've said, at least I'm glad you kept me informed on your decision. Though I felt kind of lost when you told me abt it, I wish you all the best in this giant leap! It's good to have a change of environment; the outside world is big and you really ought to explore it while you can. We don't meet up as often now even when you are in Sg, now that you're flying off to pursue your career in another country, who knows when would

It'd been a very long time since I last blogged. For the past one week, I was quite stressed as Mummy was admitted to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital ICU. My sisters stayed over at the hospital to look after her. For me, I'll head over after work every day. On usual days, I'm already not having enough sleep. So, with the madness rush, you can guessed how tired I was. It doesn't help when the exams period is here. Exams is a killer & revision is a real torture. I wondered how much brain cells were killed. To be honest, the paper was easy IF I'd read through ALL the chapters. Nope, I'm not being complacent. It's just that I simply hate school. Now I only wish for a pass so that I can successfully get the CAT cert for my boss. Yes, she makes me go through this 2 years of pain & suffering. Yup, I heard you. It's good to go for further studies, blah blah blah. It's just me lah, I think I'm not cut out for studies. I'm never gona

When was the last time you received good customer service? And if you do, what would you do? Would you compliment the service staff on the spot or write a compliment letter thereafter? Most of us will probably do nothing about it or maybe just tell a few close friends. Well, perhaps I was in need of some nice things myself or I was simply in a good mood. I wrote the first compliment letter of my life. Recently, I received excellent service & I told myself I really must get home & write a compliment letter for the staff. And below was what I sent to the management of my fave fast food outlet, McDonalds. =) I've always been ordering fries without salt from McDonalds. A big lover of Mac fries but not a fan of salty stuff. On 15th Nov 2011, around 9 - 10pm, I ordered a small coke light without ice & medium fries without salt (as usual) at the McDonalds opposite Yew Tee Point/MRT. As I stood there waiting for my fries, I was observing the staff at work. Well,

I've read 九把刀's books before & this movie has been highly recommended by friends who have watched it. Even a lot of Taiwan celebrities & 1 of my fave DJs, Xiao Jiao Hui said it's a very nice show. So since then, I've been waiting for it to be released in Sg. Having heard such good reviews, a full of high expectations me went to catch this movie with Ohana. My sisters gave it a 5/5 rating. I don't know how to grade it though. I like how the story goes but not the ending... But well, maybe at times, we need non fairy tales ending stories to remind us what reality is? Or perhaps, imperfect is beautiful in their own ways? Nevertheless, I think everyone of us need to go watch this show. Like the trailer said, "每个男孩心中 都有一个沈佳宜。" I think 90% of the guys or even girls out there had once met someone whom they wished they knew how to treasure them back then? Quite a lot went through my mind during the show... Sweet memories, sad regrets &

Was at the crossroad & now I've chosen the path to take! Well, when I first heard from others, I was contemplating if I should or rather how to reject the offer. I thought I wasn't well prepared for the change. But nothing happened for the rest of the week after I was told of the news. So, I thought all was settled & I happily went back to my hometown. =D Spent wonderful times with my babies cousin & nephew! Back at BP, Mum & aunties wanted to go to this fortune teller, so being the all-time chauffeur, I drove them to the place & conveniently have my fortune told too. I didn't go there with a specific issue to ask abt, coz I thought it was just a tagged along thing. The fortune teller said, "You have missed out a lot of opportunities in the past. Simply because you stood still & refuse to move forward to seize the opportunity that came by due to your fear. There's a BIG one coming soon again. Go for it! For if you take this up, you

Either blogging has gotten too boring/taxing for me or I'm too busy or maybe I'm just plain lazy lah, here's a pretty outdated blog entry... On 30th Sep 2011, the zhus celebrated Sy's b'day! Our dearest zhuzi aka yz aka 1 stick aka Manly (her new name) recommended us this steamboat place, "Le Le Pot (乐乐锅)". The owner is an actor from Mediacorp. (I duno his name, he always act as bad guy de). Once u reached the shop, you'll surely know who he is if you do watched Mediacorp shows, coz his photos are everywhere on the wall! =P Well, in my own opinion, I think the food is fresher & tastier than Chong Qing Steamboat. However, as we didn't have a "good" experience on our first (other than yz) visit, that's prob our last time there too. When we were settling the bill, they claimed that we have more than 4 balls (I think meatballs) floating in the soup & wanted to charge us food wastage of $10. So we said, "Alright, w

7yrs ago, when Dad first left us, I thought, "Finally, no one to bother me & I have my freedom from now on!" However, it didn't take me long to realize it's not really as FANTASTIC as I always thought it woudl be when he was still around. Though I don't miss his nagging, bad temper & beatings when he get really fed-up with the full of attitude me, things didn't get very much better without him. In fact, there are quite a couple of times I wished he was still around. So, I'm not very sure if we get what we have been hoping for will really be the best for us. Recently, my friends received the news of their boss' resignation. In his times, he has caused a handful of his staff to leave as they can't stand the way he managed them. However, now that he has resigned, his staff are in a dilemma. They were supposed to be happy coz all these while some of them have been hoping he would leave. When he's finally leaving soon, mixed feel

Some ppl can live without love & some has never ever fallen in love for their whole lives. There's absolutely nothing wrong in that. Virgos are star signs of romantic characters, they totally believe in love & because of this, sometimes became victims of love. Love definitely plays a GREAT part in most Virgos' lives. As for me, I can't imagine my life without it. Wait a min! When I said love, it's not just about the love you have for a partner, it can be family love, friendship love or love for your pet. However, for this entry, let's just concentrate on the love for a partner. (^_^) You feel like you are in heaven when you fell in love. (Let's just assume the majority feels that way.) And it definitely feels like hell when you are out of it. Some went to the extreme into doing silly/funny/stupid/weird things, whatever you name them. Yes, I was one of them. But nah, that was history. =P For some, all they need is 1 - 2 mths to get ove

Eagle Pan (more commonly known as 潘美) has recently formed a band with Joanna Moon.Their debut album "Eagle & Moon" was released in Aug 2011. A MV can either make or break a song; I came to realize that when I saw the MV for their song, "伤心神话" & "就是想爱你". I saw the two MVs just 1 - 2 weeks before the album is out; even as Eagle's fan, I was totally disappointed. The MV was quite lame & the mixingof the 2 wonderful voices was badly done, it makes the whole song sounded messy + crappy. However, when I bought the CD & played it in my car while I was driving, it sounded totally differently without the images from the MV. If one dedicates his/her 100% attention on just listening to the songs in the sequence it was arranged, you can actually feel the emotions by the Prince & Princess of the story. I'm not sure if that was the intention of the producers. However, through all the songs, I saw images of the story about a Prince &

28th Aug 2011, Sun:- Grade A friend brought me to "Food For Thoughts" for brunch. They serve b'fast all day! I super love it! v(^_^)p But I heard reservation have to make 2 weeks in advance, so those who wana go can start making reservations or just head down & wait for a walk in table. Then it was shopping at JB's KSL City. The 1st time I went with my company, not many shops were opened. Now, it's in full operations & I would say there's quite alot to see & shop. =D But for guys' fashion, I think not very cheap as compared to Sg. Bugis Street (not considering the crowd factor) might be a better place for guys to buy fashionable wear! =P 30th Aug 2011, Tue:-  It's a reunion with my lovely daughters! Brunch at Vivo Mac! We attract a crowd watching us take photos. Hmm... Nv see a cute guy with so many pretty ladies taking photos in public before meh? Dinner at Newton Market! =P The food were TOTALLY AWESOME! =) The speakers I wen

Had a few celebrations before my actual day. . . Canopy Garden Dining with zhus at Bishan Park! How did I come to know of this place? I saw it online, that was what I told them. But exactly where, right? Ok, from Sunshine's check in on FB. She frequent this place. =P The food & drink were not up to zhus' & partners' liking though I find it quite alright. But like Qiqi said I'm not in a good position to do the food review as sub-consciously I'll think it's nice since it's one of Sunshine's fave hangout. And it's Sabio with CL & my 女人！ It was recommended by 女人's colleague who said there are cute guys there. (1 of the ladies' motives to be there.) So, off we went to try out the food. Though there were no main dishes, most of the side dishes were nice. For cute guys, I think only 1 of their chef is kind of pleasant looking lah. A lot of ang mohs hang out there though. Oh! The wine was good! Can try! In the office! Thin

Shing asked if I've lose weight after 1 week+ of fasting... I shouldn't have agreed to step onto the scale!!! ='( As of 28th Jul 2011:- Fat (%) - 27.8 Body Age - 36 BMI - 24.5 Resting Metabolism - 1273 Muscle (%) - 27.1 Weight (kg) - 58.8 As of 11th Aug 2011:- Fat (%) - 28.4 (increase of 0.6%!!) Body Age - 36 (remains the same) BMI - 24.1 (a drop of 0.4) Resting Metabolism - 1246 (drop of 27!) Muscle (%) - 26.5 (drop of 0.6%) Weight (kg) - 57.8 (1kg lighter) If I've used a normal scale, I'll probably be delighted at my 1kg lighter in weight... But, with the scale I used, I'm so devastated!! OMG! In conclusion, metabolism rate dropped with a slower fat burning process has caused my loss of  0.6% muscle & a gain of 0.6% fat instead!

5 years have passed since the night I was stopped by a fortune teller and had my fortune told... Thereafter, I went to another and was told the same thing... Coming 18th Aug 2011 (19th day of lunar 7th mth), I'll be turning 29 for my lunar age. When we were born, our destines were already written... Superstitious is not encouraged, but some things in life can't be explained through science or logic. For every sunrise I get to see from then on is a day gained as a gift from whoever up there may be. . . I thank you for granting me an extra day with those who matters to me. =) "Love like u've never been hurt before. Trust like u've never been betrayed before."

Disclaimer : This is not the way a chess game should be, but I do not have enough general & warriors, so I need to use other markers. =P Juz use ur imagination! =D This was how it used to be on the battlefield. Legend : All whites (normal chess pieces + the button types) are those on my side & blacks on the enemies' side. Green are neutral onlookers but with the risk of turning into red which are the sidekicks of the blacks. This is how it became! Now tell me, how do I protect my King & keep his kingdom? I failed at the front line from preventing the enemies in entering & he trust the wrong advisor(s)... If u realized, I've lost a handful of whites in the 2nd photo. So, now how? ='(

You were the noble King in my eyes... 3years ago, I met you. Back then, I've lost my Dad for nearly 4years... I thought I've found a fatherly figure to look upon to & show my respects for. At least for these 3 years, I've believed that I've found one. Things are different now, you have changed... Or are you merely showing the real you now? I've no idea & too tired to look for an answer. 只有无奈。。。Only helpless/hopeless... I refused to believe when others told me nothing is fair in this world. I thought you were my real life Justice Bao. (Justice Bao is my hero in life, though he's just a fictional character. And you've proved why is he fictional, coz no one person in real life can be like him.) At certain points of time during these 3 years, I once felt you were. I'm thankful for those moments though. =) When others complained, I told them & reaffirm myself that you are a wise man & you play fair. One day, you'll return justice

Endurance is pushing oneself over the extreme limit you thought it was! As much as I was desperate to come home & play Dragon Nest, (or Bird Nest as my wives call it, coz they're jealous that the game is more impt than them now.) I choose a healthier & fitter body over the addictive game. So I went for a jog that was longer than my usual one. Partly because for the 3rd time of this mth, the stadium was NOT AVAILABLE for jogging!!! ARGH! -_-" As I struggled  steadily jog my way back, I set some targets for myself. By the end of this year, 2011, I want to shed all my belly fats. And I hope to start doing marathons running races next year. (Correction : Coz Qiqi said marathon = 42.195km, I can't do that now just yet.) To others 10km is nth while 5km to me is already a torture. I'm not sure of the healthy range to lose fats & gain muscles. Let's just put as 1% fats loss & 0.5% muscle gain each month, 1st? (Till I do more research on what is re

Click on banner to acces Dragon Nest SEA's Facebook! *Enter at your own risk!!* Game is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!!! For the weekends that just passed, I've been playing this game, Dragon Nest for no less than 10hrs. Becoming a panda soon le. . . (o_o) I've so much on my to do list, but. . . This game is simply too irresistable! 1) Homework (Only completed for today's lesson, Wed's one not yet.) 2) Exercise (Extreme workout for abs on Sat & Sun) 3) Change Yoshi's cage (Done!) 4) Ironing clothes (Done!) 5) Story (KIV) 6) Tidying of room (KIV) Not that bad after all. . . I've completed 3.5/6 of the tasks. Left with Wed's homework to be completed maybe tomorrow? And the last 2 on my to do list for this coming weekend. . . But I heard my warrior(EagleIvan - add me fellow players!) in Dragon Nest calling for some action on his quests!! v(^_^)o

I had a craving for red wine, so decided to go get one. NTUC don't sell the small one which I've intended to get. 7-11 has limited choices too. Ended up I got this. Now let it chill till I fetch Mum from work 1st later... However, I'm not so sure if I'm craving for the drink or I'm missing the companion. . . Cheers to a good night sleep later! =)
