Christmas gifts received!!

Image
It's the season of sharing & giving JOY!!! This year is by far the one which I bought the most no. of gifts, have the most no. of Christmas Parties/Gatherings & also the one which I rec'd the most no. of gifts!! Kickapoo Zero from YJ & the gift with purple wrapper is from my boss, Karen. I'm the kind who likes to open his presents only on Christmas Day. So I refused to open the gift no matter how many ppl are interested in knowing what's in the wrapper. I got the BIGGEST shock when I opened the gift at 12am+. My mum who was opening her gift beside me got a shock frm my mousey shriek too. Look at what my boss got me?!?! S.H.E's album with a collection of their songs! 3 discs in total & 19 songs on each disc. I've never seen this version in Singapore! Cool, isn't it?! U need to see the seductive look in Hebe's eyes. I'm so in love with my sexy Hebe! OMG! CHOCOLATES!!! Gold bar from my "mistress", Murs. The Hershey's &

Mini Care Bears for little cuzzies!

Cute mini carebears! In case, little cuzzies feel left out from our Christmas exchange, I bought these softies for them. =P At the multi-storey carpark at my housing estate, I saw a Mitsubishi Lancer EX with the whole care bear series at its dashboard! How cool is that! Perhaps, I shld place my Ferrari Cars series on my dashboard too. But hmm. . .Exposure to sunlight wld make the color fades, better think twice before acting. ^_~ Can u hear the jingle of Santa's bell? Can u smell the scent of gingerbread? Christmas is nearing & oh how excited I'm getting!! Heez =D This year, is by far the most number of Christmas exchange gatherings I ever had. And it's prob the most number of Christmas gifts I've ever bought. -_-" But well, a smile on the receiver's face is the best reward for me. =) 施比受更有福!Let's share the joy of this festive season by giving wat we can! Can't wait to feel the joy of those who receives my gifts this year. d(^_^)b

Your HABITS can MAKE or KILL you!

Image
Here's another e-zine article I rec'd from Josh Hinds. Take some time to read, absorb, think abt your current habits & make changes where necessary. A new year is coming, perhaps it's just the right time to create a NEW you with BETTER habits too? Habit Is as Habit Does (Written by Gary Ryan Blair) Let's begin with the painfully obvious truth: - Successful people have successful habits. - Losers in life have loser habits. - Habits are behavior, and behavior never lies. - Your habits determine you're your past, present and your future. - If you want change in your life, you must change yourhabits. Let's do a simple fill in the blank exercise to determine how well your current habits are serving you. Here's a health related example with two possible answers: - My health, exercise and eating habits have... turned me into a firm, energetic and unstoppable powerhouse. - My health, exercise and eating habits have... turned meinto a flabby, lethargic and unmot

Advance Christmas presents! =)

Recently, 1 of my wives, Shirleen asked, "Are you an easily satisfied person?" Well, I think I am. I get excited over the slightest thing. I laughed for the longest time over a silly joke, Qiqi said I'm easily amused. Penguin Dancer, JX said my laughter is contagious. =P It was a Christmas shopping spree for me today! Along with Grade A friend, I went in search of all the Christmas presents I'm supposed to buy. It was fun buying them. But definitely nt having to carry 4 big bags of loot back when u're not driving. Bt at least, I shld be thankful that it was nt raining when I came home. On a positive note, I think tis is by far the longest distance & hours I've ever walked for these 2 mths. Just treat it as an exercise well done. =) Qiqi went JB to meet her JBK & came back with an addition to my Tomy Car's collection! It's a Pocket Monsters Bus!! Qi said, "Next time, go JB to buy Tomy car, it's CHEAPER!" Okok, point noted. I shall

I HATE EXAMS!

Why do I still have to go through this? When I received my diploma in year 2003, I thought I was finally FREED from books, notes & exams! All the pulling of hair, late night revision with caffeine overdose, dark rings & not forgetting killing my brain cells - The mental torture process is BACK! My aging memory might not be able to take it, any kind soul wana donate some tonic for me? Exams is on Thurs & I'm still not even 1/2-way through + I'm still not into my revision mood YET! However, I'm still aiming for at least 80 & above to keep up with my last sem results. Would Buddha pls have mercy on me & help me pull through this time? =P Heez

Do the differences really matter?

Image
Last Sat, I was observing 2 kids at play. There were some differences between them. One's a Singaporean, the other's a Malaysian. One merely wanted someone to play with her while the other though didn't like the game offered by the former kid, played along just to entertain her. They were playing bricks; one insisted on following the instructions given to build exactly to the model. The other wana build something using her own imagination. One speaks English & the other speaks Mandarin. They don't see eye to eye on the design of the model. So, one slowly leave the play area, leaving the other to play by herself & design whatever way she wants. After the one being left behind has finished building the model, she went in search for the other girl. This time, they turned to playing soft toys. In no time, they became like friends who have known each other for the longest time & was playing like crazy. At that instant, a thought flashed through my mind, "If

Why am I not happy?

Image
他们说放弃是对的决定,因为继续下去也不会有结果。但为何做了所谓对的事却没有带给我一丝的快乐?逼自己停止喜欢你,不再为你做他们觉得愚蠢的事,看见你不但笑不出来,就连心都好抽痛。这就真的是我应该做的事吗?我现在就好像失魂落魄的行尸走肉。 They said letting it go & giving it up was the best decision as holding on would lead to nowhere. Yet making the so called right decision didn't bring me a sense of happiness either. Forced myself not to like you anymore & stop doing the stuff which deemed silly by others, I couldn't smile when I see you, even my heart aches everytime we met. Is this what I really should be doing? I'm just like a lost soul walking aimlessly now.

The Ugly Truth about "Walking Out"

Image
Have you ever been walk out on? Or have you ever walk out on someone else? Had dinner with my wives & anor colleague last night; learnt valuable lessons from the gossip session. So, here I am sharing with you a summary of what I've learnt. My dear bros, listen up! From the mouths of the experienced female lovers who shared with me, "Guys should never be the one to walk out on girls." When a couple broke up in an argument, a REAL MAN should never walk out on his gal. IF the guy walk away & leave the gal chasing after him, it ONLY means that guy would not take good care of her when they get married. To female readers, if a guy does that to you even when u're just in courtship, IMAGINE wat wld happen when you get married? 1 of my "lecturers" last nite said, "This kind of guy might even turn VIOLENT against you when you're married." BUT a gal has ALL the rights to walk out on the guy when they have an argument. Then the guy has to go after

Closing the history book. . .

25th Nov - For 9 yrs, I've never been able to forget this date. It brought happiness & sadness as well as laughter & tears to me. 10 years ago, on 25th Nov 1999 - I was 16. I was made the HAPPIEST man on Earth, though it didn't last long. The joy I've felt when that special someone fulfilled the promise made 6 mths earlier was beyond any words could describe. A promise I'd thought she make it w/o serious thought was fulfilled on 25th Nov 1999. From then on, I told myself, "A promise made is a promise meant to be kept." However, all these years, I've broken some of my promises to some ppl & hurt them. I'm not going to find any excuses or give any reasons for why I broke them. I'm simply sorry for doing so. 25th Nov 2009 - 10 years after I first felt love, I'm going to teach myself an important lesson. . . "Time & tide waits for no man. There's no point in holding onto sth which you know would never have a future to it. Y

My BEST BUDDY's wedding!

Image
As the title suggests, my BEST BUDDY got married on 21st Nov 2009! Oh man! Every bride looks stunningly beautiful on their wedding day. Of coz my buddy was pretty to begin with. =P Stayed over @ her hse the nite b4; we were buddies for 15yrs & it's the 1st time I spend my nite @ her hse. She did invite me to stay over afew times when I met up with her in JB, but I shy mah. wahaha *lol* No objections allowed from the ground (Read : Readers of this blog)! It was a LONG day but I had lots of fun & laughter. From the way, buddy's sisters team "tortured" the groom's brothers team, took photos of the whole event & I made a new friend, Katie Lee! =) Who's Katie Lee? Read on! Pretty bride in the making! The groom, the bride & her sisters! The dinner place! See the centre photo? That's my new friend I'm carrying! wahaha *lol* Some of you must be thinking, 烂(滥)情韦小宝 has got a new target? *shakes head* Yah, my image has been "tarnished" a

The Ugly Truth about "Being Loved"!

Image
First & foremost, let me wish my 2 irreplaceable sisters, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINNEYS!" Whatever happens, we'll stay together. Ohana means "No1 gets left out or forgotten." I LUB YOU!! My little sister, Aunt Shannon is forever so proud that she shares the same b'day as Mickey. So I'm using Mickey & Minnie wallpaper for my "The Ugly Truth" session. 18th Nov 1928 - Mickey cartoons were first shown on TV. Today's session is more of an open discussion for my dear readers. Recently, I heard sth from a lady friend & other ladies who were at the same table sort of agree to what the lady friend said. Now, I want to hear from you. =) She mentioned, "A guy can sense which girl likes/loves him & needs his attention. Then it's up to him to make the decision whether to reciprocate the feelings. A girl likes/loves everyone around her just as much as she wants everyone around her to like/love her as well. A girl ENJOYS being liked/lo

B'days Dinner @ Jap Restaurants!!

Image
Ivan loves Jap food, especially BUFFETS! Dinner places I would suggest for b'days celebrations would usually be Jap Restaurants! Heard from my fave radio station, Y.E.S FM93.3 on Senki Jap Restaurant along Kiliney Road. Their recommendations were like "Wow!". So I tot it's a MUST try! With that, I brought my 5G1U + CL to try. Well, the food is not bad. As for the "Wow!", maybe the DJs & other listeners of 93.3 has NOT so high standards of Jap food. But still, like Eagle Ivan always say, "It's the COMPANION that matters!" My dear ladies who were present. Yes, Mummy Lyn, u were GREATLY MISSED! Juz as much as I missed Baby Ping! =P Don't ask me where was I looking. . . I think the camera person DON'T like me. *hmph* For the belated aug babies' b'day dinner, I suggested Shokudo, but they choose Kushinbo instead. So, off we went to JP. Meet the Aug Babies of zhus (Piggies)! Darling zhuyin, Buddy Shane & I! The Perfectionists

Movies Weekend!

Image
It was a movies weekend for me. Perhaps making up for all the movies I've wanted to watch but missed? And coincidentally, the shows I've watched over the weekend are all tots provoking. They make me think of alot of stuff, especially on life & the ones I loved - my family & friends. I've always love Saw's series of movies. I remembered I catch all the series when they were released, but somehow I tot there wasn't Saw V. So, I went to search online & there really is Saw V, but have I watched it b4? I'm still trying 2 recall. Gd thing I kept all my movies stubs, shall go check them out one day. Watched this show @ Cine with Diane, Miao Chin, Shirleen & Murs. The show still make me quiver in my seat as usual. However, in comparison with the past few series, this perhaps lose out alittle. The ways the victims were tortured were sort of repeated from previous few series. 21/12/2012 - Is that really the end of the World? Mum wld seldom says she wana wa
