Viewing Life in little nutshells...

=(

2010-04-13T19:59:00.001+08:00

Back from work.
Feeling so down now.
Don’t ask me why.
Cause I might just bit your head off.
Maybe is because I’m departing on Thurs.
Maybe is because I suddenly can’t bear to leave everyone.
Maybe is because tomorrow is my last day to have fun.
~~Maybe is because I haven’t packed my luggage.~~
Maybe is because I’m still not prepared to leave when I thought I am…

Maybe I’m having pre-flying syndrome…

SEE YA ALL PEEPS!!

2010-04-12T23:48:00.001+08:00

I’m leaving for Shanghai on THURSDAY! Its exactly 2 Days and 11 hours from now. I will miss everyone seriously! Actually I can say I’m quite prepared for what’s ahead in these 7 months as I got to know GREAT friends who are also going with me to China.

Today’s the 12th. And every 12th of the month is a very special day for me; its Pris and I ‘s anniversary.

Today started with me going to work as usual and reached the place early as usual. Next time got to leave house at 8am instead of 7.30am. GRR…

Anyways, work’s damn boring and after that, rushed a cab to Downtown East to meet Pris for our night date. We caught the movie Date Night and it was a good show i guess. Right Pris? Haha… next we went for dinner at Buddy Hoagies, its a nice ‘hidden’ restaurant at eHub. The food’s nice and cheap, Pris ate Ribeye while I went for the New York Striploin. Pris’ definitely enjoyed their cheese fries a lot.

All the while Pris was very very worried about her camera as she’s afraid she lost her new toy. So through the date, her mind was kinda elsewhere though I keep assuring her. In the end, she found it in her Dad’s car. So yea, happy ending. =)

Pris made me a photo album collage for our 6th month and I was so touched I almost teared! Haha…I really can see the effort she put in=) She prepared a couple of stuffs for me to bring to Shanghai too, strepsils, panadol and chinese medicine. Feel so blessed to have her.=)

>>>>>>>>>>>THANKS BABY<<<<<<<<<<<

On thursday, flight’s at 1010am but gotta report at the airport at 7am...Zzz. after that I’m off to SHANGHAI! =) Will update this blog once I start my tour there!!! STAY TUNE!!!!

Received blessings from my friends,
some of which really made my day…
like the gifts and letters. =)
OHH YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
Million THANKS!

Post Birthday!

2010-03-25T23:03:00.002+08:00

Went out with Pris to celebrate her birthday today. Her birthday’s on the 25/4 so gotta celebrate now as I will be in Shanghai on the 15th. =(

Started the morning with Baby freaking me out. *stares*

Then we headed off to Rafflecity for lunch at Shoduko. Baby Enjoyed the food a lot. Haha…Glad=)

Next saw us going to Vivo for movie Kelvin Tong’s ‘Kidnapper’ which was I think a nice movie to catch=) 7 of 10. Surprised her with a pair of heels she liked. She got me a necklace from a side booth from africa too . Haha..

After that we went over to Ashton’s at Suntec for dinner but for some reason the food taste bland tonight. Baby didn’t like it =( Poor…

Gave her her gift before the meal, a Burberry Vintage Wallet. Spent lots of effort getting it imported over from the States so had high expectations on Baby’s reaction to it. Haha…Well she liked it and yea, ALL WORTH IT=)

Ended the date with some MRT confessions. Haha…and see her till her doorstep=)

Only negative thing is that we didn’t take much pictures at all and I dropped my G11. =(=(

Post-Birthday Celebration a SUCCESS=)

Answering questions..

2010-03-17T23:54:00.001+08:00

one of those days again i guess…
just feel like spending the whole day out at huge greens,
lying in the middle and reading a good book with the sun..

or taking a endless train ride with me looking out of the window,
thinking about life’s journey..

argh…wish Life can just stop for a moment.

To me, Life’s a learning process.
everyday you learn and it never stops.

though i really hopes it does one day.

Just ~~one~~…

~~~

Spent quite a huge sum of money these days…
over 300 I guess?

The thought of me going to Shanghai in a month’s time made me want spend more to make myself feel better…

Well everything will start anew once I’m there…

~~~

'Tomorrow’s Biantai Chalet the Third.
Haha…which means a getaway with my buddies,
which means another 30 dollars spent…

Hope everything’s worth it!

Feeling down down down, remedy needed..

fun.

2010-03-05T23:18:00.000+08:00

Today I went for swimming in the morning.
Wanted to train myself to get back my swimming skills. Ha.
After that, had breakfast with Pris at Mac and bought her favourite grapes to keep her occupied for the day as I know she's not looking forward for the class project outing.
Well, everything was worth it when I see her smile upon the sight of the little ones. Haha..

Next met up with BingXun & WeiLoong for a visit to Luanne's place.
We played majong, cards, Rami'O and WAR.

Haha..BX and WL started WAR with Luanne's little brothers.
Totally hilarious.
Her youngest brother, Luven, is totally like on HIGH.
=P So darn active I should say.
Haha...

Polaroids Hunting!!

2010-03-04T12:57:00.006+08:00

Back from class chalet at Changi Resort.
The chalet was a cosy two storey bungalow with nice interiors.
The first day saw me trying my hands for the first time on Wii.
Haha...We played tennis, boxing, bowling...etc. =)
The rest played cards and majong all till the night,thou its a pity we all didn't get to play games as a whole class together.
Most of the people wanted to catch the sunrise.
So Pauline, Wendy and Me did some morning walk to the beach trying our luck.
While walking back the girls retired back first while I 'emo-ed' over at the beach.
And guess what, SUNRISE! =)

G11 + Sunrise = Happy Kid

Haha...So yup, in the end I was the only one that caught it=)
I took a series of shots as for the first time the both the Sun and the Moon shared the sky together.
So you can clearly see the shade of the skies.
Pity that I messed up the last shot as I had to fit the Moon inside my frame.
(Picture Below)

Anyways, the girls did me a favour, They loaded my G11, well over 200 pictures.
Omg...
Guys, give me some time before I know how to compress them and sent them over ya? =)

Here are some highlights:
ENJOY!

---

Today, went out with Pris on what we called 'Polaroids Hunting".
Hahaha...We took lots of them and at the end, reviewed them at Mac'Donalds where we splited the lot. =)
WE HAD FUN DIDN"T WE BABY?
Haha...
Thou I could'nt manage to find my shoes... =(
Oh well, think I'm going Peinusula soon this weekends.

Ohya...We met Joanne Peh's Boyfriend too. And Pris' just attracted to him, like a damn magnet. !@#$%...
haha...oh well, He's tall and suave no doubt.

And and Pris sent me this MMS asking me to buy it;

Yup, she's nuts... =P

Signing off!!

happy happy me

2010-02-28T22:52:00.013+08:00

Haha...Today's a bright bright day for me=)
Woke up early in the morning for gym with the guys.
But LW WS were late and by the time LW came, we're taking off as no one had the mood for gym.
Hanlin gotta leave early for work too.
So headed to the Bball court as the morning regular uncles were there.
Played all the way till 1plus till our bodies shutted down totally.
Hate my pair of Nikes, bloody shoes make my toes hurt so much.

We, LW, WS & me, headed to Vivocity to catch 14 Blades and window shopped.
The guys were fun despite their stupidity acts at times. Oops=P
Went to Marche to dine, WS half-sponsored it. Haha...
Their pork knuckles's good.

Something funny happened before the movies; WS fall in loveeeeeee.
Haha no doubt the 'UK Butterfly' (as he named her cus she was wearing a UK print one piece with a butterfly tattoo behind her back) was a face above average.
WS' all head over heels with her, HE JUST CANT STOP MENTIONING ABOUT UKB all the way since after the movie till home. @#$%&...
Sad I didnt manage to snap a pic. =P

Overall, the day was a nice break from everything. =) Like the guys, like the gossips, like the movie, like the day. =)

Well to end off, PICS TO SHARE! =)

THATS ALL! =) DADA...

a sigh of freedom!

2010-02-27T22:50:00.011+08:00

Woot!
The Mains are finally over! =)

Now I'll just enjoy myself all the way for a month till my departure to Shanghai.
Haha...Today, spent the morning watching the Confucius movie.
The 2-hour ZhouYunFatt movie was touching but most of the time I seriously couldn't understand a single word he says. Haha...

Went out to visit Ahma as today is Ahgong's Birthday. I miss him...
Then went over to Parkway for dinner and shopping. =)

Bought along my G11, hoping for some good shots.

The Leather case finally reached my letter box! Haha...however was very disappointed in its quality. Don't think I will buy from the HKG seller again. Grr!
Oh well, I'll just hang on to it till I get another better one.

Below are some shots when I played with the functions of my G11. =)

Only Pink. (Hippo & my polaroid!)

Mini Pinecone (like this in particular)

R. (Did this when I was in bed with my phone)

in love with the lamb...

Under expose shot. (Set the aperture too low)

Shermeen's Mocha

Car Beam (Playing around with slow shutter speed)

2010-02-23T22:14:00.000+08:00

Yo!

I'm back after a long period of MIA.
Haha...and nobody would expect me to revive this blog at this time as tomorrow's my Lighting & BCM papers.

What the heck am I doing...

Today's FMF was a breeze...Finished and left the room first.
4 more left for me=)

Now at this hour, you realised i'm spending time posting this post instead of studying.

Haha...Too many distraction at my study table.

My phone, my polaroid, Canon G11, laptop, GF in mind...etc

Gosh...

Oh well, just a simple post to hopefully get nutshells started again=)

Chow!

I'm still waiting for my G11 Case! GRR!

all over again

2010-01-02T14:58:00.000+08:00

Happy 2010!

It's another year, all over again.
Looking back 2009, it was a year full of happenings and lessons learnt.
Whether un/pleasant, its time to restart the the timer and start the new year stronger than the previous. Blow them away, all the =(s in the past year and work hard to plant more =)s in this coming 2010. Cheers=)

~~~

I started Eve in the gym with my beloved cousins and met up with Pris later on in the noon.
We went Eighteen Chefs for lunch at Simei and then headed our way to East Coast Park for our very first skating session together.

I was VERY worried at first as I cant really skate that well. (Can move fast but problem is cannot stop =P). Pris on the other hand was kinda worried too as its been a long time for her. When I put our skates on, I mumbled "Oh my god, I can't even get out of the sitting area.". Haha got out eventually but was practically feeling SO INSECURE in moving soles.
Pris dared me to see who will be the better skater at the end of the day but the moment we left the rental shop, she fell.
Heez...Silly girl.

At the end of the day, I ended up with a clumsy fall on the butt while Pris had scratches and bruises all over.
Pris, on average was on the urge on falling every 4-5 skates she took and after everything I got VERY worried for her.
Haha...we had FUN=)

Next was dinner at the Marine Parade Kopitham and off back home after that. Within an hour I went out again to meet her.
This year I ushered in 2010 with Pris at her neighbouring playground.
I'm really happy having spend the last minutes of 09 and first minutes of 10 with her.
The second 2010 came, we shared resolutions;

"My new year resolutions of 2010 will be working hard for everything, earning money at work, studies, love and living life. Maybe I wanna take up extra lessons like dancing, piano or violin? I want master how to play the guitar too. Hope my relationships climb, friends, love and family. And lastly ENJOY LIFE."

What's yours?

Life's short I concluded and I, for this new year will be working to my very best to outdo myself in the everyday of my life.

Well, to everyone out there HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2010.
May all your resolutions come true
but always remember,
YOU take charge in life!

Happy 18th!

2009-12-18T15:31:00.000+08:00

Start the day with a full sleep from the eve.
Ate my birthday cake for breakfast,
and tucked myself on the sofa for my favourite show.
Met up with Pris at noon and pasta-ed my lunch.
Went to Barrage but the rain spoiled the trip.
Headed to ION to shop and then to Maritime House to dine.
I like the place.
Especially the food.
Had a walk down Orchard for the lightings,
and cabbed the way home.

Well, thats Birthday No. 18.
And all of it was spent with my dearest, Pris.
Simple day accompanied with a simple post to sum them all up.

'Just want say many many thanks to you for heading the day and for being such a sweetie.

I love you baby.'

*shyshy*

Doesn't Pris look like Tifa from FFVII??

And of course to everyone who wished me,
Thank you! =)

eve with a touch of blushed skin

2009-12-17T12:59:00.000+08:00

Today's the eve.
Turning 18th tomorrow.
Spent the whole day with the Biantai group as they celebrated eve with me.
Haha...Thanks guys for the gift and especially to my dearest duo, Hanlin & Pris.

~~~

My skin's burnt from the Bball Match in the morning.
Everyone seems like blushing, faces were dusted with redness by the sun's rays.

Haha...

~~~

Tomorrow will be spent with Pris.
She'd planned the day and I'll just see what is installed for me.
MUAHAHA (I know you're reading this. =P)

Signing off now.

TBC tomorrow!

Don't worry ya? Everything's going to be alright=)

lazy sunday...

2009-12-07T11:55:00.000+08:00

Was at the pictures the day before catching New Moon with Pris.
Treated that as the last break before my Tests.

When it was his first scene, everyone in the theatre took a deep breathed.
You could literally heard sound coming out from all the filled seats.
'Woahh' I thought.
I felt everyone spent 10bucks to appreciate that human body.
Taylor Lautner's HOT no doubt.
Even my eyes got lost in his rocky contours.
Haha.

~~~

Today saw me wasting time.
Wanted to get up for a morning jog but my eyelids betrayed me.
Spent the whole noon studying half-heartedly.
Heez...Did a recording of the New Moon theme, The Meadow, on piano.
It turned out better than I thought.

Lifted some weights and did some push-ups to burn fats.
Then headed off to a KFC dinner.
Haha...today just seems so weird and off-balance.

Finished 'Please Don't Make Me Go'. Book borrowed from Pris.
It was a nice book to keep me occupied.
About the author's childhood, John Fenton.
How he grew up in a world of violence and how violence taught him to live.
Somehow a reminder that, no matter what we met in life, learn and move on.
And most importantly, do the things your heart asks you to.

*snores*

I am going to ply my lids open for a morning jog tomorrow.

mug mug mug...

2009-12-04T15:59:00.000+08:00

Term Tests are here once again.
Wonder why time flies when you're in Poly.

Well, here comes the mugging...
Four papers back to back.
And 24hour camp straight after that.
Gosh...wish me luck.

I'm gonna need redbulls

when keys healed nothing.

2009-12-03T15:23:00.000+08:00

Yup, when keys don't even heal anymore...
I wonder what gotten into me today.
Had dinner with Pris' Mum, Pris, Bro and Sharon at Han's.

The poor services got to my nerves at the start.
Felt kinda left out from the conversation that was going on, but i thought nothing about it.
I wasn't a very socialable or talkative person in the beginning.

Like a young child not knowing who his parents are, mixed feelings.
Fear, anger, lonely, sad.

Before Pris' Mum came, I was getting Pris a ring.
I was glad when she was elated to slip it into her finger.

When Mummy came, the atmosphere changed.
Like a turtle wanting to stay inside it's shell, I felt weird.
I've met her on numerous times and most times things were normal.
But not today.

Felt as if I was coped up in my own world.
Even till the night, after finally finishing the bloody BCM report,
I still feel that tightness in my chest.
Why didn't I get the comfort that I needed.
It hurts yet again.

Or was it just me?
All through the night, it felt that only sad music was played.
Looking at my piano, I decided to sink the keys.
Yet, I felt deaf.

Dad bought a new bike.
So I can cycle again and sent you home if you want me to.

'Was it just me?' I thought.
Maybe it is...

Felt like tearing,
so I did..

another year.

2009-11-28T16:23:00.000+08:00

Happy 47th Birthday Dad!
Ate two slices of his cake in the morning.
Can't sing his B'day song as of death in family
(Sobs...I miss Ah Gong)
Then gave him an Ashworth Polo and a hug. =)

The whole family when to Manpuku at Tampines 1 for lunch.
The food's G-R-E-A-T i'll say.
We ordered a spread!
and yes,
I've fallen in love with their food.
(esp their ala carte, BRAVOOOO!)
=)

~~~

Tomorrow is my newborn cousin's first month.
and there's a buffet. =)
But I got work at the same time.
Hopefully everything turns out well i guess.

Arghhhhh...get off meeeee!

short post

2009-11-25T15:23:00.000+08:00

Went on date with Pris to town.
Sneaked up on her when she camwhored.
=P

*end*

my mind forced me to summarize the post. Tired...

Life.

2009-11-19T12:13:00.000+08:00

What is Life?
I remembered I always had that question hanging in my mind when I was a child.
I fasinates me. And I can recounted I was in fear when I realised part of the answer.
I found out the ugly side of Life. About the end of the world and what's beyond.

I remembered I filled up a notebook full of Life quotes which came from my mind.
That note is filled with a fraction of my Life. Mostly unhappy and ugly memories.

"Humans won't see light until regrets set in..."

"Exams are once again near. Feeling so uneasy everyday as I've not studied.
My mind is constantly filled with two things, exams and you. Thats why I can't concentrate in my books"

"I first met you in 2005 where we were in the same class. You gave me a kind of undescribe feeling. A feeling making me finding means to get close to you everyday. And yup, I've fell in love with you......I was constantly filled with jealously whenever things which I don'i like happens. Haha...maybe I love you too much, can't really control it..."

Those are raw words from my note. Some of the few that made me smiled when I read them. (Ferlyn's 'love' letter is in it too. =p)

So what is Life?
They say Life's Death.
Well, everyone's bound to die someday, that's true.
Today Mum told me something about my grandma at the dining table.
She said;

Ah Ma's calling out to Ah Gong everyday.
Asking him to visit her in her dreams and that she wants to see him.
She does that everyday without fail.
Then one night, Ah Ma had a dream.
She dreamt someone was knocking the door, and she went to open it.
To her horror, what she saw was a 'Ghost' (She describes it).
And 'it' was wearing funeral clothings without a head.

Ah Ma shrieked and got up in the middle of the night.
At this point my heart sank.
I miss Ah Gong very much.
I want him to visit me too, so I can apologise...

~~~

So not matter what, cherish and enjoy what Life's offering to you now.
The answer is to the question is boundless, I can conclude.
There's no definite answer.
So having that knowledge.
Look back in your life now, and start carving your path out for the next ticking seconds.

Life's wonderful,
make use of it

BElieve in
YOUrself...

smile

2009-11-18T17:15:00.000+08:00

No matter what troubles that stops you from going on,
Smile.
No matter how much pain that's wrecking your heart,
Smile.
No matter how many bucklet of tears you can fill,
Smile.
Because at the end of the day, Life's sucks.
Except when you
S-M-I-L-E

To all the Life sucks-ers out there, Smiles=)

it hurts...

2009-11-14T17:22:00.000+08:00

For love I slogged.
For smiles I seeked.
For life I lived.
For you I teared...
Why do the tightness still exists?
For I fought so hard just to be noticed...

It hurts...

121109

2009-11-13T15:13:00.000+08:00

I had that one of those dream again.
In it, love were spilled and smiles cracked.
You confessed and I assured you,
with a hold of the hands till the end..

~~~

Today's Pris and I first month anniversary.

Met up with her after class and caught the movie:

"MY GIRLFRIEND IS AN AGENT"

The movie wasn't that bad, hilarious I should say.

After that, we had dinner and off we went exchanging gifts at the spot where I popped THE question.

Haha...

Ended the night early and cabbed my way home.

Thanks for the ring baby. =)

Hope you like my gift too...

"Would you be my EVERYTHING?"

Painkillers won't work.

2009-11-11T15:59:00.000+08:00

I went to donate blood today.
450ML to be precise.
Don't know what made me suddenly want to do it so much.
I was actually kinda nervous when it was my turn.
There were two needles, painkillers and the one to transfer the blood.
The thinner needle (painkillers) hurts more than other the appox. 2mm needle.

Sneaked out a picture.

After that, I had plans to go to Singapore Flyer for group project.
Halfway thru the journey, my bandage from the donation came off.
And I had to secure it back to add pressure.

So Wei Loong helpped me with it:

He taped a whole bunch of wire tape and above is his masterpiece.

It fell off few minutes later.
So he took out his documents fastener and part two begins:

TADA!

Cute right?
=P

Luckily this time it secured my bandage all the way till I'm home.

~~~

The Flyer trip was fun.

And my arm still hurts a little.

Stupid painkillers.

What a nice day...

2009-11-07T16:23:00.000+08:00

Woke up feeling blues as i didn't had much of a sleep the previous night. My brother came back from Australia middle of the night and on the lights. Hate it when people on the lights when I am still Zzzz... Anyways, ate my breakfast on the sofa while watching a long lost cartoon, Pokemon.
Haha...then headed for work from 12noon t 6.30pm.
Pris picked me up from work and brought me something additional.
A white dolphin...
And of course I was elated.
Ended the day, with a dinner treat by her.

We named it 'Weixi'
=)

I forgot to sign out at work...SIGH.

Great Day, Great Girl...

2009-11-01T14:37:00.000+08:00

HEEZ...
Had a great time today at the Science Centre with Pris today.
She wanted to catch the Body Worlds exhibtion.
Pity that photography wasn't allowed,
else you will be wided-mouth to see what's exhibited.
Haha...
And I've found out that long distance travelling can make me sick.
Luckily I got my Ipod with me and a 'good' player Pris.
OOPS!
At the end, I had a great day and a great date.
So yup, THANKS BABY DEAR! =)

~~~

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

Stayed at home at night while others are out partying.
So I got myself a HORROR film to indulge in.
And ended up freaking out real bad.
I suck in HORROR films as its kinda like a phobia since young.
Anyways, if you guys want to have a great scare, do check this out:

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

Cruisers...

2009-10-31T14:07:00.000+08:00

Found new Cruisers selling in SG.

And it made me indecisive.
Pris like them, which makes me even more wanting to get it. Haha...

Selling at only $300. Sadly it has no brakes (Trust me, I can't survive without brakes.) So another 50++ will be spent on installing brakes.

Which one do you like most?

Classic White with Dark Green Rims

Piano Black with Light Green Rims

Cream Colour with Orange Rims

I'll take the white one... =)

I wanna go! I wanna goooo!!

2009-10-31T12:02:00.000+08:00

MAKSIM's coming!
The Prince of Piano is here.

Concerts' on 18th & 19th Nov.
Ticket pricing's at $49.

Everything's great just that I lack a companyyy...
Zzz...

Anyone?

New Models...

2009-10-30T22:57:00.001+08:00

lonely...

2009-10-18T14:59:00.000+08:00

Felt lonely today.

Like a boat on a sheet of blue.

Felt lonely today.

Cause I was left without a clue.

Was supposed to accompany Pris to her cousin's place but ended up sick again.

Like a rock in my head.

So spent the whole noon on bed with my Lappie.

Went to work at evening till 11pm.

Double Pay=)=)

And then took a slow bicycle ride home on a poorly lit path.

Felt lonely so I set my mind free to think.

Thinking about life once again.

Yet 'Be Grateful' somehow sums everything up.

Felt lonely today...

Can't wait for CDS classes...Wahaha=P

20 seconds of fame

2009-10-14T13:23:00.000+08:00

As the title suggests, I got 20 seconds of fame today.
In the MRT to be exact.
I fainted.

I was sitting beside Pris when an old lady came in.

So naturally, gave her my seat and stood up.

Everything was going well.

We were heading for Clarke Quay.

Then, I felt weak.

And my vision began to blurred.

Next thing I know, I heard my name been called.

It was Pris.

And another guy was helpping me up,

asking if I was alright.

I fainted.

I was sick at the start of the day.

Weak from all happenings.

But I insist of going out as it was my day-off.

Pris told me I lied on the floor for about 20 seconds.

Yet nobody came to help,

except the good-looking guy,

and the old lady who was trying to lift me up.

All eyes were on me.

Lucky enough my stop came next.

I thanked the guy and alighted.

Waited for the train to move on and I turned to Pris;

"Tell me that didn't happened."

First Day

2009-10-05T23:56:00.000+08:00

Today's my first day of work at Ikea. And it turn out to be alot better than I expected. The staff assisting me was great, smiling all the time. I mastered almost 80%of my work scope.

Heez...guess what? My first celebrity customer I had in Ikea was a guy frequently hosting in MTV. That's right, he's UTT.

Gosh, he looked so small framed compared to the TVs. Haha...guess you can't judge a person just by a LCD screen. =)

Surprised Pris with a large sunflower today. Then headed out to NYNY for dinner. Heez, we again had a wonderful night till she's home.

Good news awaited me when I reached home;
A guy from Africa (I presume) offered me USD$530 (SG$747) for my Samsung Pixon (Got it recently as I re-contracted my plan). He wants to give the phone to his finance whose birthday is coming. As its a overseas online purchase, I didn't know what to do (my first afterall). So turned to Wei Loong for help. Heez...If everything goes well, I'll go shopping soon=) HAHA.

Anyways Raleigh Bicycles just launched their 2010 Crusiers and YES! they have a classic colour that I want:

Had a date with Pris at the National Museum of Singapore today. We spent the whole afternoon away just to explore the whole place.

Haha...Galleries after galleries. Most of them about Singapore's history.

Pris wanted to go for 'aStoryOfTheImage' exhibition, which is about random art pieces in partitioned rooms.

But i was grumpy the whole noon...FORGOTTEN TO BRING MY CAMERA!!! GRRAR.

Hate it when you encounter views that makes a good picture and all you have is a bloody pixelated phone camera. GRRARRR!!

A couple was taking their wedding photos in the museum.

Posing at the spiralled staircase, leaning against the walls, running on grass patches with the cameraman runnning beside (poor thing really).

Then we went to Plaza Singapura for little window shopping and dinner and headed home.

Anyways, didn't know people are still practicing KungFu at night. Hahaha...

Random shot of Pris...

I want a Cruiser badly!

Goodbye Grandpa...

2009-08-16T14:08:00.000+08:00

Today, I woke up in a frenzy cause by one phone call in 5am.
It was from my Aunt and it wasnt good news at all...

She had called to said that my hospitalized grandpa is in critical condition.
I could recall Mum & Dad hurried to change and pack there stuffs.
Dad was taking out chulks of notes from his savings.

I was in a daze and didn't know what to do.
So I went back to bed and pray.

I prayed for grandpa not to give up.

Repeating my words over again till I fall asleep.
40 minutes later, I woke up.
My brother was calling out for me and the that was the first thing I heard:

"Ah Gong passed away..."

~~~

My Dad always told this story to remind me and my brother to work hard and study. Its about my grandpa:

My grandpa or Ah Gong (What my family usually calls), was a driver who delivered rocks and goods to construction sites.

During olden days, Ah Gong own his company and does delivery himself.
My Dad occasionally followed and assisted him.
His business was good and he was earned quite a huge sum of money at that time.
Then, with that sum of money, he wanted to buy a bigger lorry or a Bungalow (Property prices were very low in the olden days). And he's is to make a choice between the two.

"In the end, Ah Gong chose to buy a lorry instead of the bungalow or else now the bungalow would have been worth a lot of money. Thats why, money doesn't come by easily. You two better work hard and study now, else you'll regret in the future" quoted by Dad.

~~~

I sat myself up, leaning against the wall.
Staring blindy, trying to absorb whatever had happened.
and then I cried...

The skies lit up and the world today felt so different for me.
I was speechless the entire morning,
went back to school and bought myself lunch.
Yet, my mind's empty and life seems to slow down suddenly.

My brother and I went to grandma's place in the evening for dinner.
Mum & Dad was there.
There were a few elders already there chatting with grandma.

Grandma feels different.

After dinner, I sat down listlessly.
Listening to conversations in Hokkien.
And I begin to recall the times when Ah Gong was still around.
He would be assisted to his only chair he sat.
Ah Gong had stroke many years ago and there are three places he can only be in the house;

His bed, his only chair and the toilet.

Ah Gong's photo was on a table in front and I took a glance as I didn't want to look at it too long.
Afraid I couldn't take it.
Tomorrow will be the first day after Ah Gong's passing and I need to be at Grandma's place at 7am for prayer.
Next week will be his funeral and my exams following that.
Hope I can manage everything...

~~~
I've been thinking about the story Dad told us about.
Lorry or House.

and I concluded:

'Ah Gong didn't made a good choice of choosing to buy the Bungalow.
But to me, he made a wise one in choosing the Lorry.
Because I believed at that moment, Ah Gong didn't want his wealth to stop there and he wanted it to grow. That why he choose to buy the Lorry, as he wanted to expand his business and then more money will flow. Ah Gong chose to work hard to grow his money instead of having it spent on the house.'

And that is something to look up upon,

my Grandpa...

~~~

This post is delicated to my Ah Gong who suffered so much through this year.
I will and forever remember that story

and do you proud.

Rest in peace up there..

I love you.
