This is not the first time I shave off all my hair and go bald. However, it is the first time I lose my hair to show my support for the young warriors at Children's Cancer Foundation. A lot of my colleagues gladly donated and in 2 days, my pledge card is FULL! Of course, not forgetting my dear family & friends who donated generously. No matter the amount, it is the thoughts that count! A million thanks for bring HOPE to the children! =D Donation closes on 31st Aug 2012. So, you may still help to forward the link below to your friend! =P http://www.hairforhope.org.sg/index.php?/shavee/idetails/725 Mummy & KA who went all the way to support me for a less than 5 mins shave. They do turn up just for that moment! =) Thanks so much for always initiating the meetup even after you have left & supporting most of "our family's" events. All for a good cause! With the male & female mascots as well! Cute yah? Look, who else came? Baby Mck!! ...

Most Virgos have/make plans for the things in life, big or small. When things don't go according to plans, I tend to get disturbed. However, I do understand that change is the only constant. I've been planning my route, one which I thought life would just follow through. However, there is no 100% guarantee in life, especially when you are not the decision maker. When I was informed that it is a dead end for the path I was travelling on, I was lost for words & stunned for one whole day. Then I talked to a few people on what I've planned, what has happened & I'm unsure how to continue from here. I kept thinking of the other different options I have & how it will affect me. I start to see the light of another pathway at the dead end of the one I'm travelling on now. Therefore, I shall continue to walk down this path till the end & hop on to another. It may be a longer detour or a shortcut to where I want to be. As of now, I would not know for sure. Howe...

She has been sabo-taging my colleagues (friends) at work through email & alot of ways.. And today, she repeat the same old mistake which I've taught & reminded her afew times on the correct way to do it. So, I emailed my boss & CC her, hoping that with the involvement of my boss, she would drill the logic into her mind & not commit the mistake again. However, she felt that I was back-stabbing her & went to complain to other colleagues. I didn't even feel that way. But when I heard her complaint, I felt revenge has taken place though that really wasn't my initial motive. I thought revenge was sweet, it really was. However, it was my angel whom she complained to & my angel comment that we shouldn't treat her the way she treat us even though she was the one in the wrong. When I heard that, I remember what Grandma says, "When someone says bad things about you, ignore them & 1 day it'll slap them back the hard way." Well...

It is a 2 in 1 dream come true! In case you have not heard, I am 1 of the dragonboat rowers for NDP 2012 parade! v(^_^)o Well, I've always wanted to have a go at dragonboat. Since young, I love attending & watching NDP Parade every year. =P At the same time, I was secretly wishing I could be part of it. Tadah, this year, I managed to have 2 dreams coming true together! All thanks to CL for asking me if I wana join when she heard that they needed volunteers. She asked me coz she knows I love to be out in the sun & this is a WONDERFUL chance to do some rowing exercises plus free sun-tanning session! All my DB trainings are on Sat, that explains why I can't meet you folks on Sat all the way till NDP is over. If I'm lucky & your eyes are sharp enough, you might just see me on TV during the parade! haha *lol* Look out for the botak with an eagle tattoo! (Though there is a handful of botaks now already.) At the same time, do remember to support me in raisin...

Of course, I believe everyone is free to have their own views. However, I just don't like the way this article was written & I need to make some noise on my own blog. The writer of this article, 罗瑱玲 mentioned in page 10 of myPaper, that she can't fully submerged herself into the whole concert. Perhaps your heart was not clear enough to truly enjoy the whole concert; you went with certain expectations which you maybe never know would not be met. Without a clear heart, you would never truly feel 100% of what Hebe is singing & not get to 完全投入整场演唱会。 Hebe chooses songs which were not popular to you or even to us fans & in your words, ignored fan's request to dedicate songs & insisted on singing songs she wants to sing. Those are the songs she loved & we as fans grow to love the songs after we heard her sing. If she has not sang these songs in her concert, we may never get to know of these wonderful 冷门 songs you mentioned, like Lykke Li's ...

Finally, on 09th June 2012, I had my date with my Goddess at Sentosa RWS Compass ballroom.It was AWESOME! The crowd was captivated by her beauty, mesmerized by her powerful voice & entertained by her jokes. As compared to the initial stage when she had her first solo album, she's talking more now. Still bubbly & cute as ever. =) Waiting for MY LOVE to come on stage. Officially started at 8.30pm! She was seated directly infront of us! Oh my 天！ Don't you love the starry backdrop? As if we just entered a very sweet dream together with Hebe! =P Hebe on the raised platform where she sang 魔鬼中的天使. I super love the MV! So looking forward to her new solo album or the next one with the other 2 members of S.H.E!!! 环保就是当个一直爱着同一个偶像的花痴！haha *lol* Only those who attended the concert will understand why.

After my last winning of the free lunch from Y.E.S 93.3 FM, I won a pair of Hebe's concert tickets!!! v(^_^)o Quote from Claire 郭静's 《每一天都不同》, 不喜欢 别人说我幸运 他们不懂我有 多么努力 haha =P Anyway, I've bought my own pair of tickets ($158 cat) on the 1st day of sales. For it's my 女神, 田馥甄's concert, of coz I would buy my own tickets! So, why did I bother to win another pair? Coz 1 of my best friends at work always "complain", "Ivan, you keep winning concert tickets, why you never bring me to watch before?" Coming 6th June is her birthday & she's leaving SDC soon, so this serves as a b'day + farewell gift for her! ^_~ 独乐乐，不如众乐乐？ Counting down 8 days, I'm so EGG-CITED to see my love, Hebe Tian Fu Zhen!!

I have been a loyal listener of Y.E.S 93.3 FM for a long time since I was in pri sch. From dedicating songs to winning many wonderful gifts from them, I simple love this station to the max! Since I had a switch of job scope, the rate of me winning anything drop tremendously. Like I've mentioned before, I hardly have time to absorb what was being said on the radio due to the level of stress & amount of work I'm receiving as an AP person at work. But this is a lucky year for those born in the year of Boar (I refused to use the word Pig when telling ppl which year I was born). I happened to hear the promotion of DJs sending Farm Pride food to your office for up to 20 pax & I decided to just give it a try. And afew hours later, I received a call to say I won the free lunch!!! These 2 are really 2 of my fave DJs. Maybe they really thought I was PR-ing when I told them so. haha =D But I so love their programs! I even have Chong Qing's album with his signature on ...

I'm the type of guy who would always wait till it hits 12am on 27th Aug every year to read the b'day msges that come in. My sister says I'm very old school. =P Yah, I'm one of the few dinosaurs left on Earth who insists on not letting my kids own ipads as their toys when I have my own kids in future. I still believe action figurines, toy cars, barbie dolls, cooking utensil toys are some of the most awesome toys ever! A lot of things I do & love are still in the good old traditional method. So, when I told ppl around me that I'm trying ways to find out Sunshine girl's add in China as I wana send a b'day card to her. The 1st qns most of them popped was, "A real card? Isn't emailing easier & faster? It's INSTANT!" Yes, I know there are a lot of pros in sending an e-card compared to the physical card. Even though my handwriting stops improving since Primary One, I love writing notes & cards to ppl I care about even till...

How long have I not been composing new songs? *Let me think...* If I'm not wrong, probably more than a year? Even my supposedly new story is a year overdue. The first chapter on the meeting of my 2 main leads was originally scripted to be at Wheelock Borders. When I was drafting the initial storyline & ideas for that story, Borders was still around. I even have plans to snap some photos for my story. Now that it has closed down, I need to "redevelop/relocate" their meeting place. As I was cracking my head for the lyrics, I feel so much alive & hopeful. I didn't realize how much I love composing new songs & writing new stories. Ever since my change of job scope, I kept giving myself excuses that I'm busy doing OT & every other so-called important things & neglect 1 of my fave past time which has helped me relieve my stress in the past. Even though my songs & stories are always sad/emo, I always felt a great sense of achieveme...

I'm glad to have an off in lieu today. With that, I can spend some time with myself & think of things I should and shouldn't be. What have I been doing? Well, nothing much exactly. Basically nua-ing (lazing around) at home, enjoying the weekday off. Ever since I took over the AP position at work, I don't really have much time to myself. Even though I still switch on the radio & tuning into FM 93.3 at work, most of the contents didn't get into my mind as much as they used to. My mind is too occupied with whatever I have to do & still "watch over" someone else's work; how to absorb what the DJs were sharing on air then? Nah, today's blog entry is not about an irritating pest; just let my OIL continue in peace & happiness b4 I get back to work & be a part time pest buster! Sitting at my home dining table & enjoying my tea at 3.50pm, I heard a meaningful story shared by 1 of my fave DJs, Siau Jiahui on FM 93.3. She has ...

Recently, different circle of friends around me are asking me just exactly what type of girls/ladies am I attracted to.Coz I've been telling ppl I wana get married next yr & they asked me to find a gf 1st. Some of them are even seriously always on the lookout for me. A "match making" is even planned. I am really not that picky lah or so I think. Okay, for their sake. . . Top most impt criteria is she must be a sunshine girl. She don't need to love sports but she can't be afraid to stay out in the sun with me. I am totally fine with friends who smoke but I still can't accept a smoker as my gf. She do not need to be Cinderella to do all the household chores but at least she must not be lazy to keep her own room tidy. She must be someone who loves herself & her family so in future, she'll know how to love me & my family. If possible, I want a gf/wife who's shorter than me, with Hebe as the only exception. If I can even get to know h...

I have just signed up for this year Hair For Hope 2012. My shaving timeslot as followed:- Date : 29th July 2012, Sun Time : 2 - 3pm Venue : Vivocity Do support me by clicking on the banner above & make a small donation to the Children's Cancer Foundation! A small amount goes a long way. An advance big Thank You to all the kind souls out there on behalf of the little kids.

I didn't want to make a big fuss as I thought a replacement card would be send to me SOON since that call to the useless/helpless customer service officer with a F***-ed up attitude. Plus I didn't want to sit down & type a complaint letter when I have SO MUCH better things to do. However, the poor service two weeks ago & disturbing experience tonight pissed me off BIG time! I came home feeling my blood boiling to the max & I have to write this complaint letter. It's not comforting but disappointed to know that I am not the only person who encountered this issue. So, this is what I wrote to them & I hope someone better address it soon! Two weeks ago, I received a replacement card from DBS due to recent cases of DBS/POSB's clients accounts being mishandled. However, the card was of a name I've never used on my debit/credit card ever before. It is a name which I've changed years ago. I send the card of the wrong name in the reply envelo...

If you know me VERY WELL, then you would know 2 things about me when it comes to GOOD MUSIC. No. 1 : I only buy CDs of singers whom I personally feel deserve my support because they make GOOD music! Those I can feel their love for music & how they devote all their efforts into making that WONDERFUL album! My hard earned $$ definitely not going to be spent on CDs of those who simply want a share of the market or buy their own albums just to top the selling chart, where in some cases, their songs SUCK in my own opinion. No. 2 : Once a singer becomes my idol, I would NEVER burn a copy of their CD(s) or even send you a single song from their album(s). I had not just once but several times, bought extra copies of my own idols' CDs for friends who wanted me to burn a copy for them. Even for those who had just wanted 1 song, I rather buy them 1 album. Even if they're going to burn 1,000 copies for many others from the one I bought for them, there's nothing I can do. BU...

Taiwan - I've been there 3 times & wouldn't mind another 30 times, really! =D 01st - 15th Apr 2009:- First trip; with my sec sch friends & CL's parents. It was my first time on board a plane too. We bought so much things till we have to send a parcel back before we even flew back. Travel around Taiwan & visited so many places; Xi Men Ding, Hsin Chu, Yang Ming Shan, Alisan, Sun Moon Lake, Kenting, Hua Lian, Jiu Fen... The planning was tough, the journey drained us all out but the FUN, beyond words could describe! 18th - 25th June 2011:- My 2nd trip & Ohana's first overseas trip. It was Mum's first time on board a plane too! Brain cells killed, as I'm the only one to plan the itinerary this time. Pocket burnt, bought so much stuff once more. Yet, it was one of the most memorable times of our lives! Where the family was still harmonious & peaceful. =D 16th - 26th Feb 2012:- 3rd trip to Taiwan, visited Chiayi - a small quiet to...

I'm hooked onto the recent Channel 8 drama, "995". While I was working OT the other day, my sister texted me, "Ou Xuan is angry at you." haha =P Now that LG has moved to hostel & mum only come back home as & when she likes, Qiqi & I are the only permanent resident of our house now. I don't like leaving her alone in the hse just like she tried to stay home whenever I am. However, the dept is running low on manpower now & I'm still not very stable on the current position I just took over. So, I needed more time to adapt & adjust. There are many times I rejected family members' & friends' request for a meetup/dinner/drink after work. I wish I could be out there with you folks to enjoy & party like before too. But well... I believe Buddha heard my wish for this year end & is helping me work towards the goal. But I hope he has not forgotten on the next but not any less important dream of me wanting to get...

It decided to went on a retreat before I leave for my Taiwan trip. Ironically, it's a Taiwan phone...    When I first went to the M1 store in Jun'2011, I was all set out to just get an iPhone 4. I brought 2 friends along with me who were non iPhone supporters. (I'm not blaming you folks, coz every1 has a choice & I'd make my own. You didn't put me at gun point.) The sales personnel there recommend a few other phones too. Samsung was my first choice but it was out of stock and have to wait for 2 months. But my hp back then was about to die any moment, so my next option was HTC Sensation. Within 1 mth, the rubber insulator for the USB cable starts to crack. Had wanted to go for a 1-to-1 exchange, but didn't know where the service centre was. Since it was still sort of usable, I didn't bother to find out either. After using the hp for 6mths, it started to act cranky. It always restart on its own & has become more frequent recently; at least on...

When I was comparing the improvements month against month, I wasn't very pleased or motivated. However, when I click on the graph page, I think it's quite an achievement. =P For the period 20/03/10 - 20/10/2011, (I've missed taking in Nov & Dec 2011), it was a total of 7.5% fat lost & 3.6% muscle mass gained for me. That was before I started Mike Chang's program. ARGH! -_-" I started his program in Oct'11 & I actually forgot to take my measurements for 2 mths after that! Who's Mike Chang? Well, he's a personal trainer whom I accidentally saw his video on YOUtube & find them really useful for fats burning & muscle gaining! Then I got hooked on working out & motivated in becoming fit like him! Check out his Facebook page here ! Alternately, you may want to try out his videos by searching for Mike Chang's Six Pack Shortcuts in YOUtube. He has uploaded quite a number of useful workouts. =) My top fave recommendat...

For those who have not heard; yes, I went to do my first tattoo. =) I did a temporary one when I went Melacca for my company's annual outing as I've wanted to know roughly how it would look like. Well, I think that it looks pretty nice so I finally decided to go do a real one. Tadah! The first day I went back to BP in preparation for the long CNY holidays ahead, I visited the local tattooist my cousin & cousin in law goes to. The real one - I feel that it looks AWESOMELY GREAT! =D Most folks around me are not happy or seem agreeable to it. But, it's my life, my arm, you think I bother how you feel? I am rebellious, it's a fact I do not deny. I am stubborn & that's my unofficial middle name. Some said I did it because of her. I'm telling you the truth now. Yes, but not 100%. The most 10%! I've been wanting to get one since a long time back. I tell you, getting a tattoo is painful coz my endurance for pain is not very high. So, re...
