SDC was showing "How to train your Dragon" in 3D, but it was during office hours & I cldn't make time for it. So end up , I didn't get 2 watch it free at my own company & hafta pay $10 to watch it outside. However, I felt that the $10 was pretty worth it though FREE wld still have been BETTER! =) wahaha *lol* This is a nice show! (That wld be an understatement though.) Wat's so great abt this movie? I wld say the friendship & loyalty b/w the boy & the dragon. What we see on the outside, wat we learnt from books, heard from other ppl, how much truth is in them? Not until we experienced it ourselves, we wld nv have the ans. Throughout our lives, alot of ppl tried to fill our minds with their own perspective. If we're nt strong enough, we wld be like a sponge & absorb watever was told to us & unable to differentiate truth & myths. Some of us even lacked the courage to pursue the path of TRUTH. I'm nt trying to tell u to turn a deaf...

It was a 1 night stay over in Melacca. I was the women's chauffeur & so, my stay was being paid for. haha =P Thanks to the 2 lovely ladies! I tot it was pretty obvious when CL & I walked to the cafe after we got back to the hotel from our shopping. Plus, Ivan always have the tendency to "spoil" surprises. However, our v.innocent b'day girl dun haf the slightest idea. wahaha *lol* Are the CLs too discreet or was the b'day girl simply too blur? Strawberry truffle which tastes like cheesecake. (This was wat the 2 of them said, I've no idea hw a truffle shld taste like.) She blew the candle b4 I can take a photo. She broke out into laughter when we asked her to juz act & pose for the camera. My CL & my 女人！ Looks like some women from erm . . . Was it Tibet? She keeps repeating, "I look so cui/unglam!" (Forgot the exact word, bt somewhere along that line.) 1 of the better shots. When u dun haf a camera with u, u juz hafta make do with phot...

Recently, I'm being "blamed" for spoiling a b'day surprise for 1 of my wives. Tonight, we managed to successfully surprise Xiong!! =) Look at the surprised look! =) Group photo 1! Group photo 2! Look at the glutton(s)! Making a wish! We gave him 3 wishes. . . v(^_^)o Watever u wish for, may they all come true for u!! Happy Xiong! Happy Birthday! Presents presentation!! It seems like yesterday where the little botak was being cared for by my mum. It was during that period when my mum babysit him brought the 4 of us close to each other. Even when little botak's mum (1st aunt) found a new baby sitter for him, we would still meet up every weekends to eat Mac! Dad used 2b VERY strict on us; not allowing us to take cold drinks. We look fwd to e'wkend when we get to eat our fave food, drink coke & play in our fave playground. The 4 of us attended the same primary school, lived around the same area & hang out every now & then. We were just like inseparable...

22nd Mar 2010 Baby Kaelyn arrived on earth 3 wks earlier than expected. =) (I still think it's a good thing though.) Life's full of surprises. For someone who didn't believe in true love & marriage, she got married first in our clique. She used to hate kids & always feel like strangling them, she gave birth to her 1st baby & make it 1st in the zhus family! (^^,) For someone who didn't touch durians for 20yrs, she ate for the sake of hoping her baby would put on more weight, that's MOTHER LOVE for you. =P The youngest in our grp got married & gave birth 1st. So, if it really start from the youngest; Andrea, you've gota buck up! Coz yz can't wait 2 get married!!! Congrats to Sy & Eric on the arrival of their little princess!! Have fun in parenthood! v(^_^)o

Rec'd an interesting email from a friend & think my readers may find the points shared meaningful as well. The original text is in Chinese; being your friendly blog owner, I shall translate it into English as best as I can. Hopefully, I can still preserve the moral the story is trying to potray. =P An American teacher used the story, "Cinderella" to teach values to students. Original text rec'd through email :- 上課鈴響了，孩子們跑進教室，這節課老師要講的是《灰姑娘》的故事。 老師先請一個孩子上臺給同學講一講這個故事。 孩子很快講完了，老師對他表示了感謝，然後開始向全班提問。 老師：你們喜歡故事里面的哪一個？不喜歡哪一個？為什麼？ 學生：喜歡辛黛瑞拉（灰姑娘），還有王子，不喜歡她的後媽和後媽帶來的姐姐。辛黛瑞拉善良、可愛、漂亮。後媽和姐姐對辛黛瑞拉不好。 老師：如果在午夜12點的時候，辛黛瑞拉沒有來得及跳上她的南瓜馬車，你們想一想，可能會出現什麼情況？ 學生：辛黛瑞拉會變成原來髒髒的樣子，穿著破舊的衣服。哎呀，那就慘啦。 老師：所以，你們一定要做一個守時的人，不然就可能給自己帶來麻煩。另外，你們看，你們每個人平時都打扮得漂漂亮亮的，千萬不要突然邋邋遢遢地出現在別人面前，不然你們的朋友要嚇著了。女孩子們，你們更要注意，將來你們長大和男孩子約會，要是你不注意，被你的男朋友看到你很難看的樣子，他們可能就嚇昏了（老師做昏倒狀，全班大笑）。 好，下一個問題：如果你是辛黛瑞拉的後媽，你會不會阻止辛黛瑞拉去參加王子的舞會？你們一定要誠實喲！ 學生：（過了一會兒，有孩子舉手回答）是的，如果我辛黛瑞拉的後媽，我也會阻止她去參加王子的舞會。 老師：為什麼？ 學生：因為我愛自己的女兒，我希望自己的女兒當上王后。 老師：是的，所以，我們看到...

Hey, my dear readers!! If you're planning to watch "How to Train your Dragon" in 3D at SDC, pls wait no more. We're only showing this film till 31st Mar 2010!! You have got to act fast!! Check out our iWerks right here ! It's a show not to be missed!! Especially if u're fans of cartoons like, "Shrek" & "Madagasca" & "Kung Fu Panda", I bet you would love this movie too!! v(^_^)o Note to self : Shall I come back on Sat to watch as well? Hmm . . .

How are you feeling today? Hope it's GREAT! v(^_^)o We are human with feelings & it's perfectly okay to feel down at times. Most importantly is, we know how to pick ourselves up! How do you make urself feel better? Everyone has their own ways. However, make sure you use the right ways. Never do harm to yourself or others to make yourself feel better, yah? As for me, when I'm really SUPER DUPER ULTRA stressed, I feel better being left alone. Based on past experiences, when I get stressed up, I play basketball alone in the afternoon, go to the beach alone for some suntanning, lock myself up in the room & play my guitar, write emo songs & stories etc. As I was riding home just now, I was thinking of alot of things. (Yes, it's unsafe to have ur mind occupied while riding. Readers, pls dun follow this bad example.) Anyway, it suddenly struck me, "It'd been a LONG time since I last wrote a story." Gosh! Almost 2 years le. These 2 yrs, I've make m...

I tot I've OVER publicise on my blog abt iWerks at SDC with the updates e'time a new show is going to be released. Apparently, my publicity is not enough. Coz I still have friends asking me how to check timings of shows showing at SDC iWerks. So, do click on this link here . Anyway, SDC is going to release 2 films which seem pretty interesting to me. And the best part is, it's going to be in 3D!!! Check it out! With so many good shows coming up, I might only be able to help u purchase tixs @ $3.50 instead of bringing you in for free coz I only haf that limited no. of free tixs each yr. =) But it's still so much cheaper than other cinemas in Sg, right? (^_^) Com'on down to SDC right away! Watch this space for updates of our new temporary exhibit coming up in Apr! How To Train Your Dragon 3D From the studio that brought you "Shrek," "Madagascar" and "Kung Fu Panda", comes "How to Train Your Dragon." Set in the mythical world of...

If u're 1 of those who's still wondering y did Ivan, your friendly blog owner wants to make SO MANY changes in year 2010, u may wana stop cracking ur brains trying to think of the reasons. When the time is right, you would know the answer. In fact, most of my closer grps of friends alrd know the answer. All I can said for those who still do not haf the slightest idea is, "It's all for a BETTER Ivan in 1 way or another & in time to come, u'll see the final results." I was surprised that when my friends who read abt abt the changes I wana make, they tot I was seeing some1 who do not allow me to drink or gamble & wanted me to have a healthier + fitter body. I nv believe in keeping urself healthy for anor person's sake. This time, I'm doing it all for myself as well. As for the qns which my friends have been bombing me with, "Any new target in mind?". They don't quite believe when I said no. Perhaps it's due to the frequently upda...

Hey you! Yes, you! Are you one of those who depends on my blog to get the latest entertainment news, best bargains or news of any sorts? If you are, I sincerely express my thanks to you for all the support rendered all these while. All if not most of you should have heard abt Jack Neo's affair thingy that's widely reported almost anywhere & everywhere. More & more ladies coming out to disclose their affairs/relationships/etc with him. If u still have not heard abt it, check it out here . If u ask me, I don't think tis is breaking news or watsoever. It's so common tt it happens almost EVERYWHERE! Just because he's Jack Neo, the so called "FAMOUS" director in Sg, alot of reporters wana get a piece of the so called insider/hot news. So, instead of telling u abt how many ladies he had affairs with, (which u can just read pages of news on it online if u simply google his name now) I shall share with you the formula of love. A simple one which I derived ...

Coz Sasa couldn't make it on 7th Mar for the OCBC cycle, I stood in for her. B4 that, I tot I cldn't complete the whole thing. Upon hearing 20km, I tot it's gona be super strenuous & tiring. *_* Plus the fact that I only had 2 hrs of slp b4 the ride, I really tot I wld faint 1/2 way thru. But well, instead of all the negative "incidents" I tot wld happen, I had a FABULOUS time at OCBC Cycle with my girls! =) (Thou the butt is hurting now.) Other than having to wake up at 4.45am & end up with a hurting butt, it was all abt FUN, JOKES, LAUGHTER & SUNTANNING while cycling for us!! v(^_^)o It was a GREAT experience for me. They have been going for runs together, but my knees are not suitable for runs of long distance. I can only stay home to run for 2km+ on treadmills by myself. This was the 1st time, I join them for such events. It was an enjoyable one. =) 8th of March each year - Our KA's day! May my girls be blessed with HAPPINESS, GOOD HEALTH &...

Extract from Today newspaper (page 14) Wild deer wanders onto SLE SINGAPORE — A wild deer was injured on an expressway near Mandai Zoo after it dashed onto oncoming traffic and ran into a car yesterday morning. The sambar deer had to be put down later due to its extensive injuries. At about 5.30am yesterday, the police received a call about an injured deer lying along the Woodlands Seletar Expressway (SLE) towards Central Expressway. Eyewitnesses told MediaCorp that the deer, believed to be about three or four years old, was so big that it blocked an entire lane, causing a traffic jam. A caller to the MediaCorp Hotline, Mr Teo Ah Chong, said he stopped his car when he saw the animal on the expressway. “I was driving along the SLE ... Near the Mandai Zoo, I filtered onto the left lane. That’s when I saw the deer dash onto the expressway and it was running around in a panic. I stopped my car, but the deer crashed into my car and fell down,” Mr Teo said. Wildlife Reserves Singapore, whic...

Sth for u to ponder over... Luck or HAPPINESS? 值得思考的一件事。。。 幸运还是幸福？ Haru 的一天之三叶草:- 大部分人都在寻找有四片叶子，代表《幸运》的三叶草，可是三片叶子的三叶草，她的花语，却鲜为人知。 三片叶子的三叶草，代表《幸福》。 是不是为了苦苦找寻《幸运》，我们才对一直停留在身边的《幸福》视而不见了呢？ From the book of a day in Haru's life, I'm sharing this interesting article on 3 leaves clover:- Most ppl are searching for the four leaves clover which represent Luck, however most ppl do not know what does a three leaves clover represent. A three leaves clover represents HAPPINESS. Have we spent too much effort in searching for Luck till we neglect the HAPPINESS that has always been with us all these while?

My favourite character in the cartoon, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" got to be the Cheshire Cat. I remember this part where Alice asked for directions from the cat. “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” asked Alice. “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the cat. “I don’t much care where,” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the cat. - Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.- Isn't that very much the same in life? If you do not have a definite goal in life which you want to acheive, then does it really matter where you go or what you do NOW? Do not forget, "Failing to plan is planning to fail!"

Anor extract from the book I'm reading. . . The original text :- 望一望天空 不论你现在正在做什么，暂时停下来，望一望天空。 上面或许繁星点点。。。或许乌云密布。。。 或许正飘着细雨。。。也或许。。。彩霞满天。。。 偶尔，望一望天空吧！ 虽然日复一日。。。虽然天空依然。。。 但是，你是否曾问过自己，最后一次仰望天空，是多久以前的事？ 所以。。。就在这一刻，就在现在。。。 抬起头，望一望天空吧！ Take a look at the sky! No matter what you are doing now, stop for awhile & look up at the sky. The sky may be filled with brightly lit stars, dark clouds, drizzling rain or even beautified by a rainbow. Do take a look at the sky occasionally! Days go by, the sky may still be the same sky. But ask yourself, when was the last time you take a good look at the sky? So, right now at this very moment, lift ur head & take a look at the sky! This is the sky I was looking at in the morning of CNY Day 1 which was also V-Day! Somehow, the sky ALWAYS seem so much nicer from the patio of Gpa's hse. Of coz, the kampung air was much fresher there as well. Not forgetting the peaceful feeling & chirping of the birds, all worries & troubles just evapor...

11th Feb 2010! Had a simple reunion dinner at JP LJS with my dearest daughters. =) With this bunch of gers ard, fun & laughter were never lacking. As we entered a new year, Papa's here to wish you gers a HAPPY, HEALTHY, SMOOTH-FLOWING year ahead! Work shall be a breeze & studies + homework wld be a piece of cake! Pls take good care of urself & catch up more often!! v(^_^)o

As usual, we went back to Gpa's hse for CNY celebration!! I'm always looking fwd to this day, it's 1 of the most impt occasion of my life e'yr. Growing up in a BIG family, I love the warmth of us doing every big or little things tgt. It's the companion that counts! Outside 5th aunt's hse with her own self made 桃花树. This yr, we forsake 情人桥 for a dock nearby. The dock was closed; so in the middle of the bridge, the floor was lifted up. We have to climb over from the outside of the bridge. Check out below pic for the "dangerous" acts & a scared face. =P Next, we went to a bean curd place; svc was lousy & over priced food suxs. But that was 1 of the few places which was still over at the wee hrs. Beggars can't be choosers. It's definitely a good place to chill out & chat though, coz the food take hrs 2b served. =P 2nd night of CNY was BBQ night! Gpa long requested for us to have a BBQ night. Of coz, his request is an order. We're gl...

Read this on Today Papers, so here to share with my dear readers. =) LONDON - You've hear it before: To avoid a heart attack don't smoke, eat right and exercise. But it may also help to be happy, a new study says. Even if you're grumpy by nature, just try to be cheerful. Researchers at Columbia University rated the happiness levels of more than 1,700 adults in Canada with no heart problems in 1995. After a decade, they examined the 145 people who developed a heart problem and found happier people were less likely to have had one. The study was published online yesterday in the European Heart Journal . The paper's lead author, Dr Karina Davidson of Columbia University Medical Centre, said happy people were more likely to have a healthier lifestyle. It could also be there is an unknown genetic trait that predisposes people to be happy and have less heart disease. Other experts said happiness itself could result in a healthier heart compared to emotions such as stress or ...

Grade A friend lend me a book & highly recommend that I shld read. =) For those who knows me well, I take the longest time to read a book, watch a show on VCD/DVD. (I still owe Sy her book titled, "He's not that into you." & Miao Chin her DVD on Buddha's teachings; but I did tell them I would take a SUPER LONG time to finish with it & return to them.) So, 1 fine day, seeing this book, "Haru 的一天" slowly becoming a PR of my study desk, I decide to flip the pages & start reading it. Came upon this chapter which I find it pretty meaningful & the next day saw my cousin blogs abt the different thinkings of a guy & a girl. So I decided to share this chapter with my dear readers as V-Day is ard the corner too. Let me show you the original text of the chapter/article:- 让他为你描绘 在跟一个人真正相处之前，我从不知道，对两个二十多年在不同环境中长大的男女而言，相遇后，一起生活并照顾彼此，竟是如此辛苦的一件事。 有人说，男人不擅长表达自己，而女人虽然擅长表达，却欠缺宽容对方的能力。 女人都希望在亲口说出自己的想法之前，男人已经猜出了她的心思，但事实上，男人根本搞不懂女人到底想要些什么。 就这样，男人跟女人，常常会有摩擦...
