The meaningful articles I've seen on Facebook!

Saw these 2 articles on Facebook posted by Rei Yang. For those who can't read chinese, you just hafta give it a miss. =P 1) I believe in platonic friendship but I don't deny this. Cos relationship also started out as friends. 每个女生都有一个不是男朋友的男朋友 每个女生身边都有一个不是男朋友的男朋友····· 你们可能相爱过,你们也可能喜欢着彼此, 但是,为了什么原因你们没能在一起? 也许他为了朋友之间的义气,不能追你。 也许为了顾及家人的意见 ,你们没有在一起。 也许为了自己的前程,他没有要你等他。 也许你们相遇太早, 还不懂得珍惜对方。 也许你们相遇太晚, 你们身边已经有了另一个人。 也许你回头太迟, 对方已不再等待。 也许你们彼此在捉摸对方的心, 而迟迟无法跨出界线。 不过即使你们没在一起, 你们还是保持了朋友的关系。 但是你们心底清楚, 对这个人, 你比朋友还多了一份关心。 即使不能跟他名正言顺的牵着手逛街, 你们还是可以做无所不谈的朋友。 他有喜欢的人,你口头上会帮他追, 心里却不是很清楚你是不是真的希望他追到。 他遇到困难时, 你会尽你所能的帮他, 不会计较谁又欠了谁。 男女朋友吃醋了, 你会安抚他们说你和他只是朋友, 但你心中会有那么一丝的不确定。 每个人这辈子, 心中都有过这幺一个特别的朋友, 很矛盾的行为。 一开始你不甘心只做朋友的, 但久了,突然发现这样最好。 你宁愿这样关心他, 总好过你们在一起而有天会分手。 你宁愿做他的朋友, 彼此不会吃醋,才可以真的无所不谈。 特别是这样, 你还是知道, 他永远会关心你的。 你心中的这个特别的朋友...? 是谁呢? 做不成男女朋友, 当他那个特别的朋友, 有什么不好呢? 很多的感情, 都因为一厢情愿, 最后连朋友都当不成了 常常觉得惋惜, 可惜一些本来很好的友情 最后却因为对方的一句喜欢你, 如果你没有反应,这一段友情似乎也难以维持下去, 这也难怪有些人会因此不肯踏出这一步。 因为这就像是一场赌注, 表白了之后不是成了男女朋友, 要不就连朋友都当不成了。 有些事...

Old Town & Ice Age with my 4 in LOVE!

Image
Went out on a "DATE" with my love(s) on Fri night after work! It was a WONDERFUL outing & we agreed that we shall have more of these!! v(^_^)o Ice Age 3 - Dawn of the Dinosaurs! Had a GREAT time laughing out loud! I always love to have friends whom I can lol with & nt care hw others look @ us. Meet my 4 new loves! I call them, "My Love!" And Cynthia said, "We're the 4 in love." Miao Chin & Shirleen aka Si Yun aka Xiao Yun! Miao Chin's the quietest among them. Xiao Yun's my hokkien & old songs KTV partner! Her voice is super ideal for singing old songs! =) Cynthia & Miao Chin! Cynthia's also my singing partner, the modern songs one. Those Fish, S.H.E, Angela's songs, etc. But her voice super high & pitchy! Of coz, also nice lah. Coz she's my 最爱 among my loves! Like I told her, I simply love seeing her irritated face when she said she's having goosebumps everytime I walked past her desk & said, "He...

1st day of school!!

Image
Started my 1st day of school today! Was still excited & nervous abt it since last nite. =P I took 2 modules this sem meaning 4 lessons a wk; Mon - Thur, 6.45 - 9.45pm. Yah, alot of ppl tell me it's VERY shagged. -_-" Bt well, like I've said b4, I made the choice of 2 modules - 4 lessons a wk when I was so dejected in LOVE the other time. I thought I might as well get busy with studies than have my mind occupied by other stuff. (^_^) However, I don't regret lah. Coz I wana finish up the course ASAP!! Ivan's not someone who loves/likes to study; be it full time or part time. My course materials! The good news is the 2 modules I took this sem has 50 MCQs (2 marks ea) for exams & passing grade is 56marks. Bt I tried the mock qns today during tonight class & the BAD news is MCQs are SUPER DUPER tricky!! Nvm, I shall practise more & read the qns with MORE care esp during EXAMS!! =P Talking abt exams, my lecturer said exam dates are b/w 20/08/09 - 31/08/09...

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!

I just NEED 2b HAPPY!

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...

Advance b'day prez from Qiqi!!

I've got a new friend. =) He's quite popular recently. You can see him in white top & shorts with a SMILE on his face always. 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!

Image
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。...

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!

Image
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.

Finally, we're leaving 西门町-ximending after 5 FANTASTIC days! So must take a photo mah. =) Upon reaching the railway stn. . .

My travelling companions on the 1st part of small train journey. When FINE prints are concerned, pls read! Behind our train tixs, they already state that 1/2 way thru the journey, we need to walk a 山路 aka mountain trail! And our dearest zhuzhu brought along a SUPER hugh & heavy trolley bag.

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!

Image
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...
