This may be a better way of saying "Thanks"
10 Apr 08
On 2 Apr 08, it is a day of only 2 of us.
It is also a day where we had very bad dinner. (Suntec's "Fist & Cold")
Bad prawns.... Bad squids....
But they still fail to spoil our day!
It is another day where we sat by the fountain, with your lovely head by my shoulder.
It is a day where I held your hand so tightly that I didn't wanna let go.
Well's, it is yet another day where I failed to get you into Soo Kee Jewellery shop.
It is also a day where I realise I'm 2 years older than you from Apr - Nov 08!!
It has been always a wonderful day to know that we still look under 21 years old after that day!! *LoL!!
It is a day where you surprise me with your mystery present.
It is a day where you brought my Sammi's DVD for the first time. *I simply love that concert!!
Today is the day I will like to say,"Thanks for your accompany on my 24th, 2nd of Apr."
And I know that there will be more to come.

A day to remember
8 Apr 08
Finally, it have been 24 years since Antz struck planet, Earth.
2 Apr 08, seem gonna be another birthday I had. Fortunately or unfortunately it turns out very unforgettable. A very close family friend of mine passed away on that very day.
She is my family neighbour and my Mum's friend for decades, and I know her since young. On every Thursday, she will be at our house, chatting with my mum, where I will always be there around the dinning table listening to their conversation. She watched me from toddler till now, where I found myself a GF. I treat her as another aunt of mine.
So 3 days ago, Jazs and I heard from mum that she is very sick, and we planned to visit her on the next weekend. She have been resting at home since her op on last year. When we visited her on Chinese New Year 08, she still seems weak but was extremely happy when we visited her. Well, we thought that she is recovering well. But little did we expect things turn out this way.
2 Apr 08, I was on my birthday off, I thought of going to the temple to pray for her good health. But my heart sank when Mum broke the news with her watery eyes. I was caught in the moment, held my head in disbelief. So I sms-ed Jazs, who called me almost immediately. "It's too late..." she said. I bit my lips hard, blaming myself, why did we go over earlier.
During one of the nights, I went over. I saw the bulb hanging on the void deck ceiling, the yellow canvas fencing, I heard the ritual from the carpark. Yet at that point of time, I could not bring to myself to believe it is true. As I sat down, I felt great moisture around my eyes, I felt great discomfort sitting down there. I even struggled mentally to offer her prayers. I tried opening my mouth but I failed to speak a word. I hit the top most level of my tolerance while listening to Mum relating her pasts.
On her final day, I viewed the final ritual in great depression. I stood beside my Mum, holding on to her arms, could not bear to face the fact that this is the last time we will be seeing her. Reaching Mandai crematorium, viewing the burial was another mental struggle. This is where my tears went uncontrollable.
Till now, thinking back, everything is too late. Mum mentioned she like crowds, so she chose Wednesday to Sunday - Final day. Or I thought maybe she wants me to remember her by this date.
I really hope she is free from sickness up there and I will miss her laughters and conversations with us. Take care.

Sahara condition
1 Apr 08
I really can't stand it!! Felt like it is 30 degree temperature every night!!
I perspire during meals...
What's wrong with the climate?
For a moment, Rice is also found depleting! When was the last incident that rice was reported not enough? Donkey years ago ba.
Oil, petrol all hit skyrocking price. COE went higher. ERP increase like mad.
I used to see Shop&Save selling beer less than $2, but not seems the price tag had been removed. Coffeeshop foods hawkers are starting to slaughter our wallets. Think from next month onwards, you will never see $1.50 chicken rice around.
Think really don't 'pian' for your career also cannot. I really look forward this coming July 08 for some really good news.

Time soaring like mad.. I didn't realise it till now!
17th Mar 08
Life seems the same as you watch your clock tick away. You are so used to 24 hours a day, that you forget that 30 X 24hours is already a month. Without paying much attention, it is almost end of March 2008. I have been in my current company for 1 full year.
Did not feel any special, as I am more concerned about my future plans. Now, working seems like a non-stopping life. Coz I am not studying, not working elsewhere, I simply feel that I had nothing to look forward to each year.
Plans for future were very definate. Straightforward... The more you try to twist and turn, the more money you have to throw in.
Looking at some of my friends blogs, some of them are still studying, working extremely hard for (of course) a better future then me. Still 'gel' closely with secondary or poly-mates. While people like me, in the cruel working world. Sad to say, you are slightly 'lonelier' then them. 9 - 6pm you work, rush home for dinner, watch tv, off you got struck in your bedroom waithing for light-off. Every week, you are hoping for the weekend to come. Every month, you are hoping that the holiday is coming sooner then you expect.
Well, last weekend, for once, I felt, it is just another day. To me, there is also nothing much to look forward to. Just that you see more people along the streets, your Straits Times got thicker, cinema tickets got damn sky-high price. Everything else is still the same.
For this moment, I was thinking of what lessons or classes that might interest me and will inject some thing to look forward to, each and every week.
Currently I found myself 2 goals to look forward to. 1: IPPT on 18 Mar 08 *Zzz.... Oh come'mon..
2: Sheares Bridge Run!! Gotta train myself to last through and enjoy that whole 21km + crossing over Sheares bridge early in the morning!!
What about you? A quarter of 2008 had passed, you decided on anything?

1 Room 1/2 LivingRoom 1 Water Tub
11 Mar 08
As referred to the title, just to check anyone catch this drama everynight?
Through my mum, I was told that 70% of the outdoor scenes were shot at Circuit Road Market and Hawker Centre which is only 200m away from my house! This arouse me to peek on the first espisode of it.
After watching, I felt it is quite a good drama for mid and high class SGporean. Let they understand that these kind of people actually exists. If you are living in 4-Room flat, without any relatives living in 1 or 2-Room flats, I advise you to watch it for a few espisodes. This drama is very much true, really bring out the low earners of SG. And it is very comical!! The way they filmed some 'fight' scene of Chen Li Ping and that jailed before fella were very funny!!!
Added to that, some high earners of SG popped out during certain parts of the drama to show us how some 'high-class' fellas treat or see those poorer and lower earner. In this drama also bring us into how those people who claim they are 'very very poor', try all sorts of ways to earn fast cash. You may think this can only appear in TCS drama, well, I believe such people do exist.
After working in my current job, I come across many this type of people (as 40% of my site is rental block). Sometime I just wonder whether those residents who came to approach me, are they one of those actor or actress in the drama? Or are they truely poor and unable to work? I think this is negative side of this drama. This makes me think twice about show my fullest support to them. I think I still need some more time to determine how true are they.
But recently as I watched more of Patricia Mok couple and MC King's mum, I got real pissed. Blood boiled..... Why got sure people alive out there... One tried all sorts of ways to cheat other kindness for money, another save so much as if she got tons of tomorrow to spend the money. Buay ta han... I give up... Other catching some glimps of Fiona Xie and final show of the late MC King, I have no other interest in this drama. But still if you guys have not develop bad feelings for this drama, please support it. Because it is another good try out by the TCS drama team!

How long have I been waiting for this?
3 Mar 08
On 29th Feb 08, 4th driving test at 9.15am.
Did my usual practice in circuit on 8am. Went for the test at 9.15am. Finish my circuit deducting 4pts for 'Failure to look blind spots'. Drove out towards Route 1 (I'm very familiar with this one. Confidence++!) But I drove out less than 200m from Driving Centre, I was told to turn left into minor road. This is where I faced a road block. After given the 'GO' signal, I..... ARH!!!....
crawl off.... *duhz...
Then I hit main road, turn left then right, then back to Driving Centre. Less than 0.8km, I drove. Lucky, isn't it? Heading to the office behind the Tester was a real stress. Thinking back, seems like I did not commit much grave mistakes like the past. Mind was filled with joyful thoughts. But inside the office, I was screwed by Tester like a primary school boy. With the desk so close to the door (outside the office was actually the PDL, Licence Registration etc Counter.) that more than 10 people overheard what he f--- at me.
"You fail to check your blind spots in circuit."
That's very normal..
"You are crawling on the road!!"
Safety ma.
"Your feets are not reacting fast enough to move off!"
I need to look left, right and rear before moving off ma.
"Just now got so many chances for you to turn right, why don't you do that? Your feet should be at the accelerator, preparing to move off!"
This indeed brought me from sky back to earth.
He repeated,"Why didn't you move off?"
"I didn't wanna engage myself in unnecessary risks" this is my reply.
"That is not risk! You are delaying everyone behind! If you are without that 'L' plate, people are going to blast their honk on you!"
Screwed.... I knew it.... Blood spurt out from him... Like the past, I'm waiting for him to draw his sword out, where I spilled my last drop of blood.
*Silence..... 5 seconds....
I can see all eyes outside the door were staring at me...
I believe I did it again...
"How many times have you tried?" For once he chilled and spoke his last question.
"This is the 4th time, Sir."
There is no need to shame me in front of so many people out there man.
I saw him ticked this, tick that, count, count, count.. Wrote the score and said,"Alright, I give another chance."
ANOTHER CHANCE? I'm done for it.
Surprisingly, he ticked the last box that says,"Pass."
Woooo... I said,"thanks..." Stood up, I looked at him once more.. "Thank you Sir." He answer me no more, give me a stare. So I walked out the office, first thing I did is to on my cellphone. Feel of huge relieve... Finally this has ended!!
Nothing else beats this. Even the waiting time from 10.30am - 1pm for my registration of licence failed to pull my moods down!
Things that may or may not contribute to my success on Leap Year:
- First time my instructor said,"Hope you don't see me after this test."
- First time I didn't bring my passport size photo. (I ended up taking a shot with my silly face. The licence errr... is for lifetime hor? Liaoz... KNN..)
- First time I drank Chicky essence before test.
- First time I drank talisman before test.
- First time I didn't went to the loo before test.
- First time I take test in the morning.
- First time I put a steel nail inside my wallet.
- First time I walked out of the Driving Centre feeling real GOOD!!!
This is so far the best thing that ever happened to me in 2008! Even 'Song-er' than strike First Prize of 4D!!
Well's....
Back to square....
I have no car......
