JB trip for good food!

Image
I love JB for their nice and cheap food! Thankful for a future brother in law who stays in JB. Did I mention I love all day breakfast? Well, I love breakfast set, even McDonalds' big breakfast. But usually, it means to wake up early if we want to eat that. Even when McDonalds extends its breakfast hours to 12pm, I think it's still very early for me to wake up on weekends just to be able to have my favorite dish. =P Went Faculty of Caffeine for nice "Generous Breakfast" (name of their all day breakfast). YUMMYLICIOUS! *thumbs up* Then to 三楼炒米粉, because only I fancy the breakfast menu as dinner and the rest wasn't full from their cakes & salads ordered at FOC. The fried bee hoon is the type I like, Short short ones which you can eat them in 1 mouth without biting to cut them off. Not too oily or salty either, just the right taste for me. Curry fish head was very fresh though the price at RM50 feels a bit steep. Signature tofu was awesome! Sa...

MDA-WDA Grant scheme with FM Pop Music School

I have submitted 2 lyrics for FM Pop Music School Hits Lyrics Songwriting course application. If I made it, I would be able to get grant from MDA-WDA for the course and finally get a chance to learn lyrics writing from my fave local lyrics writer, 小寒。 When I got to know of the submission, it was one week away from the deadline. There were 6 songs for us to choose from, we need to rewrite lyrics for 2 of these songs : 1) 喬毓明《淚若雨下》 2) 吳莫愁、李代沫《取名回憶的時光》 3) 信 《恨愛不成鋼》 4) 李佳薇《分隔線》 5) 林倛玉、插班生《訣別書》 6) 劉晉旭《小子當家》 The 1st song I attempted was (1), I kept listening to the song for many days, over 100 times, in the office and at home. But I can never complete the song by putting the lyrics into place. This song is too powerful! Perhaps because this song is written by non other than 小寒 herself. Then I told myself, since I need to write 2 songs, why don't I pick another song and produce one 1st? Therefore, I proceed to choose (4) and finish it...

The Journey 《一路有你》

Image
I've heard numerous good reviews about this movie before I went. Though I would say the movie has not disappoint me, the pace is a little bit slow. Just that wee bit, it won't affect your mood for the movie too much. What did I do at the 1st scene that earned my tears? I looked at my watch. WHY?! I know I would like to come home and blog on this movie no matter how tired I am. Answer was just less than 30mins of the show... There are certainly alot of touching scenes in this movie. It's about family, what do you expect? A family is all about love, kinship, the stuff which makes you cry or at least touched. A particular scene that has the most impact on me was when a wife said something along this line, "He said, we should go travel while we still can and not wait." Dad came to my mind. His wish was to bring Mum for an overseas holiday. He didn't has the chance to do so though. In 2011, my siblings and I helped to fulfill his wish. W...

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve trekking!

Image
Kor jio-ed us along for his trekking training at BTNR. Together, the 6 of us, Kor, Ziyue, 2nd Aunt, 2nd Uncle in law, Shannon & I started at about 7.45am on the trek led by Kor. Ended at about 9.45am, quite fast when we have a young kid and 1st timer trekker, Ah Non with us. =P It was only after the trek, did we know Kor's back pack weighs a whopping 26kg. I tried carrying it. Oh man, it's no joke when you trek with that. Now, that explains Kor's skinny legs & lean body. It was a fun and enjoyable bonding session; enjoying the smell of nature, holding Zy's hands down the "obstacles" course, perspiring after the trek, chit chatting with the family. A pity Mummy has asthma, plus the fact that she's too lazy to even walk. If not, it would be fun to have our own walk frequently too. (We must think of a way to make her walk! *Of course, it can't be too tedious.*) This is definitely a healthy way to bond. Glad Kor asked us along this time...

In The Dark 《怨鬼》

Image
Well, I'm glad my winning streak is back and is definitely enjoying all my winnings. =) Won a pair of tixs to a horror movie. My mum & I love watching horror movies. This is definitely not the scariest movie we have watched. However, there are a few scenes that really scared us. If I'm not wrong, this is a Malaysian production. For horror movies, my favourite is still Thailand production. I've got to say, this is really a good movie. With hidden education meaning in the story plot and the twist, I give this movie a 9/10. If you are a horror movie lover like I do, give this movie a chance. Oh, I've got to mention this. The 1 point which this movie falls short of being perfect was due to 1 particular movie goer who watched this show with us. She was not wrong at all. In fact, she make our movie night an enjoyable one. There was 2-3 times she got scared by the scene. However, her loud "AAAHHHHH!" was always 1-2sec slower than the rest of us. Which mean, we ha...

The winning streak strikes & continue for 2014!

Image
This blog has been extremely quiet. Well, with so many new social media website coming out, not many people continue writing their blog. And yah, sadly it includes me as well. As I was on my way walking to get some groceries, this thought just flashed through my mind, "Hey! Been a long time since I've blogged, I should start writing again." Why? For a couple of reasons, as one ages, memory starts failing. With a blog, the date is captured whenever I blogged on an event. Few years down the road, I can look back and reminisces the good times. It stimulates the brain as well. Writing helps develop the brain. (You have got to think as you write, right?) Not that I've not been using my brain recently but I need to stimulate them abit more before cobwebs start taking over. So for a start, or rather a restart, let's look at what I've won recently! 2 lucky draw chances for myself in Great Radio Games 2014. 2 chances for Ah Tan & a ...

Are your eyes seeing the right things? 眼睛看到的就是真的吗?

Image
20/01/014 :- Are your eyes seeing the right things? 眼睛看到的就是真的吗? Are you a bad boy? How do you define a bad boy? Someone with unique hair color / hairstyles and tattoos all over yet loves his family with all he has? The son who wants to find a girlfriend who's willing to move in and stay with his mum so that there is someone to look after the mum when she's old. Or someone who has a neat and decent hairstyle with a "clean" body (no tattoo) who is a high flyer and love money more than anything else? He could be a doctor/lawyer/businessman who's rich enough to send his mum to the old folks home but visit her only once a year. What's your answer? Quoting my Godma, “其实像你们这些把头发染得五颜六色,满身刺青的反而比较真。不像我们这些身体干净的人,其实心里都是坏的图案。” Translation : "In fact, people like you guys who dyed hair to all sorts of colors and with tattoos all over are more genuine than people like us who appears to have a clean body where our hearts are filled with ugly patterns....

Letting go to embrace! 放手来拥抱!

Image
01/01/2014 :- Only by letting go of the past, can you embrace the future! 只有放开过去,才能拥抱未来! Today marks the start of a new year and I've been thinking of what to post. New year resolutions? Let that wait till I come back from my HK trip! haha =P Life has been good to me for these 30 years. Of course, I do have my ups and downs as well. That is what makes life interesting and exciting, isn't it? One of the most unbearable moment in 2013 was leaving Singapore Discovery Centre, a 2nd home for the past 5years. The decision was clear cut, but making it was the tough part. My future seems bleak, I was at pit bottom after I left. I don't regret leaving, because I know I have to. However, I was not easy to defeat, with many help from my family, godma and friends, I got back on my feet and continue to strive. As of now, I may not have make it to the peak yet, at least I'm climbing up the mountain once more after falling all the way down months a...

鹰艾文 – 《不属于》

鹰艾文 – 《 不属于》 当初的一见钟情 之后的无所不谈 每一份感动都深刻烙印在我心里 对人的诚恳是你朋友无数的理由 与你共处无需面具能够真心相对 像大雨过后的阳光 为我照耀一道彩虹 围绕在身边快乐就加倍 吐诉着心事总获得安慰 不如意之时也不忘鼓励 只可惜心动是条单行道 爱到一半 才惊觉我们走的是分岔路 渐行渐远 义无反顾地陪你继续走 心甘情愿当一世的朋友 牵不到的手我细心呵护 好让你能够将幸福握紧 你设的这份爱情试卷 我再重考几回也得不到满分 我们之间的大小事 不属于 你日记里 无条件付出的感情 不属于 你的心里 天长地久完美结局 不属于 我的故事 你的名字一辈子都 不属于 我的姓氏 将心冻结成冰 希望这份爱会永远保鲜 下一次的离开 记得将这颗心一同带走 为你爱到疯癫 封闭了自我该如何说爱 是否应该继续 就算最后依然毫无所获 事过境迁 许多人事已改变 唯一不变 是那被冻结的心 别来打扰 这安静的夜 别带遗憾 度过后半生

Hebe Tian - Insignificance 田馥甄 - 渺小

Image
It had been a long time since I bought and review a CD. Finally Hebe has released her 3rd solo album. As usual, my 3 steps process of reviewing a CD was being carried out. First, play and listen to the whole album once to find out what kind of songs are being recorded in the CD. Second, listen to the songs and look through the lyrics together. Third, put on the ear piece / head set and feel the song. (Trust me on this, listening to the CD using speakers and ear piece is very different.) By the way, recently I read an article on "reviewing". Movie critics are usually the so-called professionals who DO NOT know how to even make/direct a movie. Why do we take them seriously? Similarly, I'm not an expert in singing. The only reason why I review all the CDs I've bought is to share  with my readers how I feel towards GOOD music. You need not take me seriously but you may just want to use my review as a reference. After listening to the CD for the first time,...

Motivate yourself! 自我激励!

Image
24/11/13 :- Motivate yourself! 自我激励! I have been thinking a lot these days; (in fact, I always do) since I know I am persistent when it comes to love, why not use it as a motivation? I have goals which I never seem to be 100% motivated in achieving them. I set them, then I try for a while and either give in to temptation or give up completely. In order to really achieve what I want, I know I have got to do something NOW! Things just happen at the right time all together. Sunshine has left Singapore for a while once more and I have found my true calling in my career, it's the right time to fully concentrate on what I want. So, from now on, I'm going to keep the most important part of me - my heart into the freezer. Till I've achieved the goal of a 6 packs body and become the director of my own company earning a 5-figure monthly income, I shall not spend/waste my time on love. Love has by far, played the most part of my life and I know I would want to redeem ...

Learn to let go... 学会放下。。。

Image
15/11/13 :- Learn to let go... 学会放下。。。 Often, every little thing thrown in our direction by the people around us; family members, friends, teachers, bosses, colleagues, etc, we make it seems like a heavy rock has just been placed on our shoulders and we have to carry it with us in every step we make. Similarly, when we lose something we thought was precious to us, we harp on it for the longest time. The heavy rock slows us down, soon we get tired trying to carry it and we got so frustrated and stress follows. Depression sets in sometimes. With the loss that was magnified, we behave like it isn't worth living anymore. Self blame or self pity starts creeping in and slowly devour us. However, all these are choices we get to make in life. Do you want to treat the obstacles and losses in life as a heavy rock or just a drop in the ocean? It is not easy and for me, I am still learning... However, think about this, wouldn't life be so much easier if we can simply try...

S.H.E 2Gether 4Ever World Tour 2013 - Singapore!

Image
After 3 years, they are finally back on stage as 1 formidable band giving their best performance! Emotions of all kinds filled their hearts and of their fans'. How wonderful it is to sit (or rather stand, jump, shout and wave your 3-leaf Clover light stick) through the concert! There is no time left for you to feel restless and my camera was working its way so hard that the low battery warning came on when the concert was only at the 2/3 mark. If you own a piece of S.H.E's album, you know you have invested in good music and expect to earn the best rewards. If you attend a S.H.E's concert, you know your life has not been wasted and is living life to your max because it is filled with so much positive energy! The girl turned lady whom I'll never get sick of... Love sick, probably. haha =P Their costumes as bright and cheerful as the trio are! This is LOVE, LOVE is her! Hebe was standing on our side of the stage most of the time. So grateful for c...

鹰艾文 - 《与众不同》

鹰艾文 - 《与众不同》 陌生的熟悉度 自然带点忐忑 没有人是完美 你却是某个人 最适合那一块 忽冷忽热的拉扯着 让错觉演变成感觉 太过亲密的远距离 让人有种举棋不定 这一生中的那个与众不同 挥之不去的从前该如何对你说 跌入一场爱的漩涡 掩饰不了这段感情 赤裸裸地摊在眼前 这场恋爱游戏玩的太认真 用一生赌爱情是否太奢侈 我喜欢你的时候 你不必也喜欢我 但当我安静地离开以后 请别回来探听我的消息 因为一切都已不再重要 错过的村回头只剩风景
