Even 'Sound' can make me so excited

26th Sept 08

Call me crazy...


After dinner tonight, I drove over to Raffles Place with Jazs. Hoping to find a parking lot and try to peep through the fence for some glimpses of Formula 1. Unfortunately I can't find any, headed towards ECP.

BUT!! I'm Happily 'jamming' my way there. Up the road, Jazs got so excited and started to unwind the window.

"Uuuu... Mmm...." I heard that.. I was driving and enjoying the sound made by those speedy cars. Tried looking at my right side where the pit stop is, saw a few cars went past. Wee... The feeling was indescribable!

I was kinda desperate, searching online, to check if there is any $38 Walkabout ticket left. *Ha! All sold out.

Other then this, I was quite happy to know that HDB just release (I long awaited) blocks of flats!!

Meanwhile, tomorrow I'll be home watching Kimi Rai. and Massa zoom past Marina Square!!

Laying my steps on F1 track

22nd Sept 08

Over the weekend, I went over Raffles Place, Esplanade area to take a look at Singapore very first and Formula 1 very first Night Race!


Starting off at Fullerton Hotel




Dear Jazs posing with the map




The lighting were simply too bright!!!


Before Kimi.R and Massa take on this route, have you 'speed' past here?



All set clear and ready!




We now cross over to One Fullerton.....

I really hope that I could still stand here on 28th Sept 08!!

I think I will be home on 26 to 28 Sept 08, to catch F1 SG. Hopefully Kimi.R will be able to triumph here!!

Say what I like

Moooooo Cake

10th Sept 08

Yesterday night, went over Ngee Ann City to shop for some mooncakes as gifts to Jazs and my parents. Lone ranger Antz, went offensive mode against the 'Auntie's wave' within the Ngee Ann City Atrium.

Managed to buy two pieces of Shangri-la traditional mooncakes (Mixed nuts with pork trotter + White lotus Single york)





For your info, this two pieces cost $28+. It really increases a lot (in price) as compared to last year.

I couldn't bear not to buy this snowskin mooncake.... Mmm...

Four Seasons Durians!!

Let's take a look inside!!




You want a more close-up look?


But apologies, I'm not able to let you sniff on here! *Haha!! Actually I thought of buying Goodwood Park hotel Durian snowskin, but everywhere I go (12pm at Carltex house & 4pm at Raffles City), it is all 'Sold Out'. So when I reached home just now, Guess what! I saw the yellow box of Goodwood Park Hotel mooncake!! It is not snowskin, but traditional one are good enough to fulfil my crave for now!

By the way, the Mooncake fair is on till 14th Sept 08. Better get there soon if you want the more 'branded' ones!!!!

P.S. On Monday, I happened to catch some parts of Channel U 'SuperBand'. I was quite impressed by this group, 三月, presented a very different taste of MayDay song. I think the main vocal have a very 'Pub-type' of voice. Nice!

Fill me up...

7 Sept 08

This few days, I spent strolling along the street with Loneliness. I used to tell my friends that it's really alright to be window shopping alone. Now... I not sure if my age play a part in this, I felt kinda bored walking alone.

But from this few days, I've been trying to enrich myself through the net, or looking around bookstores. I think it is time to spend my MPH's voucher or rather to put my cash into really useful stuffs. Any good non-fiction books to recommend?
Another thing I also find myself defeated by Carl's Jr. My stomach was left undone by Famous Star burger + Large drink + Beef chilli fries.... I felt the food hit my throat and found 3 quarter of the fries still in there. Felt lucky that I didn't order a ChilliCheese Burger!

Today finally got a chance to try taking some night shots with my camera.



Tried taking without flash during the night, although background was brighten up, as I zoom in, it is kinda blur still. Wonder how do I take a nice one?

Wondering have I ever say things at the right time?

5 Sept 08

It's weekend!! I just (finally) resolve my new modem problem. I was actually spending the last few days trying to figure out how to connect to the net. Finally I'm here now. *Phew...

I feel happy after reading Dear Jazs' blog and Candice's one this afternoon. I'm really looking forward to Dec 08 and Jan 09!!

As it is Friday night, I thought these songs really suit my mood now.

Timbaland - "The Way I Are" featuring Keri Hilson




The man w/ the sexy vocal - Craig David - "Hypnotic"



I wonder have you heard this song before, I feel it is very nice song which makes you feel like nodding your head so hard as if you are on estacy!!!

Timbaland ft. Fall Out Boy - "One And Only"



Nelly Furtado - "Say it right"

I finally found it

2 Sept 08

Thanks to my colleague, I finally found the title of this song! I think I can listen to it 10 times a day!! I really didn't know there is a movie with this song. Just happen to overhear in on radio, but simply can't find the song title.

It's by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett - Way Back Into Love




This song is also taken over to Asia and sang by Fish Leong & Pin Guang.

Enjoy!!

Have U ever say Thanks?

1 Sept 08

Teacher's Day...

I hardly can recall any good memories on eve of this day from Kindergarten, all the way till Polytechnic.

I'm shy... I really do... Maybe I don't show that. Or is that I am just afraid to expose my poor command of English (as my classmates mostly are potato-eaters) So that slowly mould a quiet Me.

Not to say, this word, "Thanks." which since toddler, we have been taught to say it as a return for one's assistance to you. Even during Teacher's Day, I have never put "Thanks" to an action to my teachers. E.g. A tiny gift, a stalk of flower... Well, every year, I was there, sitting in a corner, overlooking my classmates flood my teacher with their gifts in the classroom.

2 factors, why I don't or should I say, I can't...
  1. My pocket money was only enough for a tuckshop 50 cents bowl of noodles.
  2. I will either stammer or stay mute, if I ever turn up in front my teachers with a gift.

I think that my teacher will be thankful to me, if I do any thing stupid that day!

During Kindergarten, my mother mostly pick me up in the Teachers' Room, unlike my friends who went off via the main door. Coz I never get enough of mischief stuffs!

I still can remember this incident very clearly..... In order to save money, Mum brought a one size bigger school shoes for me (they can even come loose while walking!) One day, I got damn irritated by an Indian classmate, that I tried to kick him on the face. Unfortunately, I misses, and that was a really bad miss. My brand new shoes flew across the class and landed in front of my teacher. I was immediately slapped on the palm, sent to detention. As usual, caned by Mum back at home after being told by the English Language Teacher.

During Primary school, this jinx hit me again, and this occurred during Teacher's Day celebration.

I think it is Pri 2, whole class was having fun with potato chips, party poppers & stuffs. This Maths teacher was chatting with my female classmates, while I was playing crazily with paper-fold Ninja darts. Happily folded my first (and last) paper dart, I threw it up to the ceiling. *Wooo!! And it bounced off the fan and landed on my teacher's eye brow. Teacher got mad, send me out of the class, staring at the sky, till party end. I walked back home with a forlorn face.

Secondary School, I was part of the celebration event. Got laughed by fellow classmates, why? My class have two Wushu members, one is a female, one is Me. She was always up there performing individually, attracting lots of attention. Whereas Me? My duty was to carry a heavy carpet with my friends, lay it nicely for the performers..... I'm more like a joke...

Other than this, I done numerous rules-breaking stuffs.

  • I damaged a basketball ring....
  • I played soccer during POAccounts lessons...
  • I slept through 60% of lessons...
  • I nearly got caught by Principle and Vice-Principle when smoking at nearby block void deck....

After 'O's levels, I always hope to go back to secondary school, paying those teachers a visit. But I always questioned myself, do they remember me? Have I ever left any nice memories for them? Seriously, I cannot recall much.

Till now, I simply have no chance to say "Thanks" to all the teachers who had taught me, show me the guidance to where I am now. If not for them, I afraid I won't at where I'm standing now. This is probably one of the regret which lingers inside me these past 24 years.
