Re: Raining day makes me wanna sleep

2011-10-04T12:37:00.003+08:00

This morning is another raining day. Makes one wanna sleep in till late... well, not so fortunate for me. I try to be early to work. Which so far so good. Managed to be in office before 9am so far.

Right now after morning meeting, damn i am so sleepy. Must mentally prepare myself to go gym after work today! Yes i can do it!

Re: Sleepy Me @ work

2011-10-03T17:09:00.002+08:00

Today lunch boss treated all designers and me to Park loyal for a lunch buffet. Right now still feels full and sleepy.... No coffee can help!!!

Re: Turning 40, A new page a new begining...

2011-08-07T10:18:00.006+08:00

Ya, I am 40 soon.. The big 40... time really flies...
Begin 40, i hope i am much wiser and can handle things better...

I guess i started to understand myself better. I am the sort that love changes and welcome changes...

I quited my job last week, a job that has provided me with freedom and OK income.
I had plenty of personal time and able to do what i like.

I switch my career path. From a designer role to a manager role.
Now i will look after 7 designers. Told Kat about it over the MSN. And she told me ...
deal with people are never easy... Now i just hope that my easy going character can really make my life easier. My ex GM once told me that i am a good leader material... i am sure he is right...hahaha...

I hope my boss is able to find a replacement soon so that i can go over earlier. I am really looking forward to the new environment. Sometime i am not sure if i make the right choice of giving up an easy job and move on to this new role...But in my heart, i told myself..."Yes, it is time to go..."

After several months of hard training and work out. I had really tone up my body, although
there is tummy fat still but it already give me a rather flat tummy.. And i love it...
I still have about 14 sessions to go? anyway i think i will complete all my seesions before i starts my new job.

Without my car, i have also getting use to taking the public transport. Thanks to all the convenient buses and MRT in Singapore. It really makes my life easiler to switch from driving to a "commoner"( as my friend eugene put in). I really amaze of the many bus route that brings me from my house to gym at novena, shopping in orchard or new office to gym... I simply love it...

Yes the new 40 in sept. I am also celebrating with Moon in Bangkok...Our second trip since many years ago... Another get away and exciting food & shopping...

Here i come... my big 40!!

Post Tioman Trip- June22-25

2011-06-27T13:32:00.002+08:00

I am amazed by myself...I really can sleep... hahaha..

Yes... i almost sleep my way through the whole trip.. from afternoon nap to night sleep.
I think i never sleep so much in my life. I guess i really sleep deprived :P

Tioman trip was ok, afterall i had been there so many time.

But it is still fun, to go with my nephew and niece. They are such a joy, still innocent and fun to play with. The food was not too bad... Overall a good rest & relax...

Had my 8th PT training on Sunday. I still enjoy the sessions and very tempted to sign up another 10 sessions.. well will see how then... I love how i look now...hehehe...

Back to work, life still goes on... When is my next holiday huh???

My life so far,,,,

2011-06-20T11:08:00.004+08:00

Yes, i am starting to get use to life without my love....

Planning my route around trains and buses... Actually it was not that bad, as i have more time to read or listen to my favourite music, on my way to work or workout.

I guess with the help of an iphone apps it really helps a lot. It tells me what time the next bus will reach... and whether i need to run for it....hahaha... yeah..i did a 100m dash before just to catch a 2 mins arriving bus...:P

Another changes will be my workout routine... after i had started my PT session.. i need less sleep and was able to wake up very early in the morning. It helps me in a way that i have more time to prepare my breakfast and get into office before 9am.

Now i am looking forward to this coming Wed, cos i am travelling to tioman island with yong( my brother)& wife and the kids... and Moon of course... can't remember this is the how many time i been there... I have always love tioman... :)

This will be a good break as it is a 4 days 3 nite stay with one day on our own..:)

Hope i can post some photos next time I blog..

Love all and world peace...

Being a nice guy...i go along...
wow it s super..it really stress me out... and i think it is not too bad...

Anyway after some talk and thinking, i sign up a 11 sessions of PT lesson.. Well, a form of encouragement and commitment for me to carry on my training...

Now no more lazy excuses.... Here i come, the cute PT!!!!

Merry go round...

2011-05-31T09:25:00.003+08:00

2011-05-26T10:01:00.006+08:00

Beside is the maple syrup toast that baked by my bread machine...it was supposed to be honey toast but i had run out of honey so well.. maple syrup is the option...it taste ok, with a tint of sweetness. which is not too bad...i guess a toast is a toast. as long as it is soft and nice..what else can you ask for...:)

The photo was taken in my study room as it was already pass midnight and i wanted the bread to cool down. It just cute that the south park characters on my table is looking at the bread.... hehehe....

I started experiment with my bread machine recently. And wala...last night i finally baked the best bun i ever baked. It was so soft and nice. It comes in 3 favour, 5 tuna buns, 3 butter buns & 2 cheese buns... REALLY like those selling at the bakery.

This really make my day.. although the day was almost over since i started at evening...

Yes... i am alone at home(office) now... slow moving day again...

Oh...was crazy over website call groupon, a group purchase site where u can buy stuff at discounted price.. guess what i bought? a 3M camcorder projector..:P cost me $299 sin.. anyway, i am always crazy over hi-tech toy..so this is my new collection.. maybe will post some video in the future....:)

enjoying my personal time, with music and internet....

What a wonderful world... shhh... dun tell my boss about this blog...

keep it to yourself, ok??

;)

How are you, derrick?

2011-05-20T12:58:00.006+08:00

I am good, how are you?

It has been almost a year since i last blog... Life still goes on..

People that knows me, know that i like to explore hobbies and learn new "craft/skill". From early years of roller blading, tarot card reading, meditating, workout to recent baking... I want to fill my days with interesting stuffs..

Baking is fun but not that good to my health as i shouldnt take in too much plain flour & sugar. Anyway, i enjoy it... i even bought my own bread maker so that i can bake my own fresh bread and dun need to buy those commercial produced.

Work wise, Still same old company, coming to 3 years...Guess i am contented, with simple life style as long as the money is enough i guess i have nothing to complain..

Actually i just returned from a short trip. Yes, Malacca with Moon,Eugene,Jimmy and Sandy's family. A getaway is always good. Sometime i tend to think that, maybe i travelled too much when i was younger. I lose it... the excitement of travelling or the thrill of visiting new places...

I am like an old bird...tired and seeking comfort...

I have another trip in mid June. Going tioman with my brother's family and Moon.
It will be fun since Amos and Joy had grown up...:) I love them both.
Since i dun have any kids, i really adore them.

Coming Sept, i will turn 40..a big jump from the 30s straight into the...40s!!
haha...i hope life will be better for me.

Having good time...

2010-08-02T23:50:00.004+08:00

We are having good time in office...me and my colleague, sandy. She is a close friend, sitting just beside me... we are both using iphone, so we manage to find time to play singapore mahjong through blue tooth...it was exciting and we both almost couldnt control our laughter.... just like two kids stealing candie and afraid of getting caught...

Now i am looking forward to my short trip to krabi.... courting down now....
4 more days of working....

i just hope it will not rain as much as in sg....

:)

A great toy- my new iphone

2010-08-01T09:49:00.003+08:00

Damn cool huh ! This post is written using my iPhone.
What great toy..

Today is another wet raining day. Nice to have late wake up,
but seems that my body already custom to wake up at 8 in the morning.
I miss my younger day that I can sleep till 11... Heehee what a lazy pig..

i phone 4 mania

2010-07-31T12:44:00.005+08:00

I queued 2 hrs for my i phone4 yesterday. Managed to sneak out of the office about lunch time and finally got it at 2pm...:P

A new toy for me... missed the last round with iphone 3G was out cos i was still holding on to my nokia E71 with contract. Actually Nokia E71 is not too bad a phone but just too small a screen to go online.... Iphone is really a cool toy huh... lots of free games and applications.. Another reasons, being i will be away next weekend...

Going to Krabi with moon. It will be more fun if i can play my iphone games when i am there holidaying...

I hope to take some cool pix and upload here, provided i am not too lazy...

Hooray! iphone4 YES!!

Losing Weight

2009-10-05T14:15:00.002+08:00

I has been losing weight. From my usual 90kg. I am 82.9kg, weighted last night. A slimer me....well, the cause of the weight lose is due to my new found illness...

Gone to the doctor weeks ago. Found out that i am suffer from diabetes. Not a big deal in today's society but still is a change of lifestyle to me. I am now more aware of what i am eating and how much i can eat. I need to sort of give up my passion to baking too.... or maybe do some "light" baking with less sugar later on.

Been doing a lot of thinking.

Everyone will die one day. Is just the matter of how you will die. Now the answer to me....maybe of the complication to my this illness....

I am not sad, or keep asking myself " why me " but a relief... an answer to my question... I am glad that i have good friends surrounded me.

I was so touch with kat. Althought she is far away but her reply over skype really warm my heart and my eyes... i miss her dearly... cos she treat a friend with her warm heart and sincerity. I will make a trip up to KL soon! not a foodie trip now...
well, a shopping spree is still good enough to make me smile huh...:)

Been restless and cant seems to concentrate much in work. I hope it will be soon over and back to normal...

A word of advice to anyone that read this blog... dun eat too full or too much at meal... stay healthy and eat healthy! Take care...

Re: Happy in my life

2009-01-14T10:16:00.002+08:00

I must say that, at this point of time. I am in my best. Having lived for 37 years, is now that i finally have some saving and a more stable life. I hope everyone will reach this stage sooner than me. The thing is i am not the saving type. I like to pamper myself with things i like... I should have bought my house if not because i spend so much on things that i dun need.

World peace..

Happy New Year, Sleepy head..

2009-01-06T15:58:00.002+08:00

New year of 2009. A new begining. Every year a new year resolution. This year, I am wishing.... I want to be more active in the gym. Been a lazy pig too long. Is time to move my lazy ass to the track mill. I dun think i wanna join a marathon but just to lose some body fat and be lighted. So that i can fit into some figure hugging t-shirt or whatever, so that i am charming enough to attract some prince charming...:P

Ever since i am back to sg from beijing. Been on a long break. And i am glad that i found this new job that pay ok and give me a lot of freedom. Thanks boss.

Gone shopping last weekend, I guess it is enjoyable to do shoppin when u have some extra cash on hand. Two days of shopping left me with tiring feets. God, i think i should do more walking in the future to prevent any foot injury...:P

Wake up sleepy head!!!

Feels so sleepy now...help help....

Up up and away!!!

2008-12-05T15:25:00.002+08:00

Yes, i was shocked lately by my electrical bill...gosh, it goes up to $300 plus which on average it should be about the range of $170 to $190. Anyway i am tryin to cut down my aircon timing. Which i normally on it when i reach homeat 7pm. Now i use fan and on the aircon at 10pm.

Enjoy life, enjoy me.

An email from Hue, Vietnam

2008-09-08T13:24:00.002+08:00

hi all,

just reach Hue in vietnam this morning, staying in hotel which is so far the most expensive we have stay so far...USD25. Damn, but it come with hot water, air con, internet Pc in the room and a beautiful balcony.

Coming a long way from bangkok to cambodia to vietnam. I truely enjoy my long trip. We spend abt 4 days in Bangkok. It is good in shopping as usual. Food is great and people are friendly, good old bangkok.

In Cambodia we spend 3 days, we only do Siem Reap which is where Ang kor wat located. It is really cool to be really in the ruin, like u are in tomb raider the
movie with lara croft. Lot of picture taken. But after awhile all temple looks the same....:P the night life is interesting. Well, because Ang kor wat is so well known that is why they have interesting cafe good restaurant in Siem Reap. I even have a blue cheese hamburger one night for dinner.

Vietnam is a surprise to me so far. Lot of good good fun. We spend a long time in vietmam. Started from HoChiMing City. We spend abt 3 days there. Doing some site seeing and Good BBQ food there..then we bought a open bus ticket of abt USD45 that will bring u from HCM to Hanoi, with 4 stops in between. The first stop after HCM is MuiNe. A very very beautiful beach with many budget and expensive resort. The one that we stay in cost only USD16. It is really nice stay there. Will show photo later. After that we travel up to Ngn Trang and we spend 2 days there. Which we did interesting boating to 4 different islands. Lunch on the boat, swim in the ocean with floating bar and 'FREE' red wine was served. We even did a nice beauty oriented mud bath the next day. Really feel like tai-tai, as we dip ourselve in the mud tub. hmmm....then wash off then swim in the mineral water pool then massage...a nice and relaxing holiday indeed. We did a 12 hrs night bus ride to Hoi an. Which we spend a night there. Over there, they have a simple nice old town zone which looks like our old singapore port back in the 70s, but now more commercialize with many gallery and cafe. The most interesting there is a 2km bicycle ride out to the beach. A really long sandy beach which we take a lot of "artistic" pictures there. We just left Hoi an this morning and we are now in Hue. Me siting in the hotel room typing away.
No sure what we are going to do later, as we really take our time, dun plan much. We are going to Hanoi tomorrow evening at 5pm, another 16 hrs bus ride. Over there we will be doing 2 tours. One to Sapa and the other one to Halong Bay. Then we will fly back to Singapore.

So far it have been a relaxing and fun trip. I will post some picture when i got home.

Back to Singapore

2008-08-14T20:47:00.002+08:00

Yes, lazy me! Been back to sg for almost 2 weeks and no update of any blog. Anyway, for the days that i am in sg. It has been a slow and uneven days... lots of late night(watching TV & surfing net) and wake up late (cos sleep late).

Planning on a trip with my army mate, foo. A short and suffering shoe string trip to thailand, camboria and maybe vietnam. Was trying to go as far as $2000 sin can bring us. Not really a lot of planning cos i just wanna enjoy my get away so just do one day at a time.

Also brought travel package for my mom and me. Yes, going in oct17. To somewhere... Shanghai, shouzhou and hanzhou. Yes, china again. Many asked me why. Cos i simply love it too much. Anyway the reason is the package is too good to be true. Full board with staying in 5 stars hotel. Plus i am bringing my mom so cant really travel to places that i like... Just wanna do something for her. I love her. And i wanna her to enjoy the fruit of my labour while i am still wealthy...:P

Anyway, she knocked at my door this morning at 11am. She makes milo for me... and wish me happy birthday. A red packet.... hmmm....i really forgot about it...how old am i this year? gosh...37 liao....no word...

And now i am typing away now...alone...

Happy birthday to me.

Courting down to less than 10 days, the feeling is really good. Knowing that the suffering will not last. Makes me feels good and i am more cheerful now. Passby a travel agency last night after dinner. Saw on the ads board that from beijing going to seoul cost only 900RMB and with tax of 1200RMB, Total only 2100RMB. It really make me wanna travel there and do my R&R.

I wonder now when is my last day....I hope i can make a trip to seoul...

I love the traditional house that is on the web.

Lets see...

Time really fly. Already in china for more half a year. Weather is getting unbearable lately. I really miss post winter or singapore weather. Winter in Beijing is still too cold for me. The heat here is like baking in oven. U should really try taking train to work in beijing. It is really a eye opening experience. Today manage to get aboard only after 5 train. Really crowded. Gosh, people really body to body with all the sweat and body heat!!! But must say that there are few cute guys here and there...:P noti me...

I hope my last day is 15july. As i am really looking forward to THE day now. cross my finger now..

I will miss my friend from my ex company who are station here. We often had dinner and foot massage on one of the weekend. Almost other weekend. The liang zi foot massage is good here, along jiangguomen. I will miss the foot massage. We always do the basic which cost 100RMB cos we bought the season ticket of 10. They even had the ultimate emperor package which consists of 5 person workin on u at the same time, cost 1000RMB...hmmm sounds cool right?? the ultimate treatment!

Eating here can be an adverture too. We been to the DARK restaurant, and trust me, IT IS DARK, PINCH DARK. You eat like a blind. For some food, I am not sure what i had eaten but it was quite an experience. Set me back at 138RMB. That super super spicy chicken wing, hulala.... That is really Fxxxing fire burning HOT!! is in one of the ulu lane in "ghost street". And honestly i never had so much japanese food in my life before, cos over here, i had so much of it that i feel i am almost a jap....hehehe, not quite lah but that is true...

Attached is one of my photo during my MuTianYu great wall.... Dun you miss me, cos i am so fun...:P

Re: Beijing 2 weeks

2008-01-02T13:49:00.000+08:00

Very fast, i have already been here for 2 weeks. More or less i had settle down. TO be honest, i am actually quite enjoying the freedom and lifestyle here. I get to talk to friends and family through skype. I get to go out with my singaporean friend here for meals and outing. Which really helps in many way to kill my time here, so that i dun feel lonely here. And also DVD is really INEXPENSIVE here, i can watch my FRIENDS here. hehehe....

Christmas day, working day

2007-12-25T11:56:00.000+08:00

Christmas day. I am working.....there is no holiday in china. What a disappointment. Dun understand why they can dun celebrate Christmas. Anyway i had a wonderful time with my friend last night.

We had Japanese food for dinner then went to a pub street for Christmas's fun. It is something fun to do while i am out of Singapore.We even have a artist to draw a portrait for us. Had a good sleep after that cos i am so so drunk.

Today, i am working....on Christmas day....what a boring day....

Christmas eve and i miss you all

2007-12-24T14:05:00.000+08:00

Christmas eve, a day to get together. With a group of close friends. I miss those years where kat, jessie, sandy and us having christmas pot luck and gift exchange.
Those happy time. After kat gone back home, we slowly drift apart, no more mahjong and less get together. Guess is during such festive period that makes me treasure more. More of the friendship and family tie. I miss my mom, my brother, the kids and all my friends.

Alone in a foreign land really feels lonely. Doing things alone, be it having meal, shopping. No one to share, no one to laugh with.

What i can do is to concentrate more on my work. take my mind off and be happy.

Yes be happy and i miss u all.

Sleepy me

2007-12-21T15:03:00.000+08:00

Five days at work, Realised that at 3pm..i am always sleepy...
Help!!!

Weather is not as cold as b4, maybe i am used to it somehow, of course
dun ask me to go out naked or without a coat.

Fran is in shanghai now....bet he has a relaxed holiday as dun need to work, just play...

Third day of work...

2007-12-19T12:58:00.000+08:00

Today is my third day of work and i finally found something to eat that is more normal and easy to eat. A taiwan restaurant. Anyway, everything is ok except my throat is burning and my skin is still bad. Will do about it this coming sat. Maybe will visit a sinsei here. See how.....

Second Day of work

2007-12-18T11:30:00.000+08:00

Today is my second day of work. Boss still out for meeting.
I still surf the net in the morning. Bored to death. HELP!

Last nite i had a better sleep compare to other nites.
Maybe i am fully prepare about the cold.

Lunch time soon...feels lonely. They are all keep to themself.
No friends, so sad.

Find it weird that i can write my blog but i can't log on to my blog to read it.
Dunno why. China seems to block all the blogger website.. well, at least ican log in to type.

So far so good...

One night in beijing, Here i come

2007-12-17T16:58:00.001+08:00

I arrive in beijing last sat afternoon. Yes i will be working in beijing again.
This time round will be a eight months contract.
Now is winter over here and it is so cold to a tropical "boy" like me.
I realised that i didnt bring enough clothing, so on sunday i went shopping with an ex-collegue to get some winter wear.

It is so dry here, started to feel the pain in the throat and nose started to have blood clot. Asked my friend, her advice is to drink more water and eat more fruit.

My apartment in beijing is not too bad. Located just two train station away from my office. But taking the train in the morning can be quite a culture shock. It is really JAM PACK....

Today is my first day of work. Excited but worry...nothing much today, cos my creative head was out for meeting the whole day. So can only surfing net the whole day, can be quite boring.

Doing dinner can be a headache here. As i realised that the food here really not to my liking....Will see how later...maybe go subway and get some sandwiches....

Heard that it will be colder this week....oh god...

One more week to go

2007-12-09T23:56:00.000+08:00

Last friday is my last day of my interior job. Been working there for almost 6 months. Well, i guess i am really not suitable for doing interior. Too much managing

Let me go

2007-11-13T09:17:00.000+08:00

Feeling tired, feeling heavy.

Dun wanna move, dun wanna get up from my bed.

Cos, i know there will be one phone call that will spoilt my day.

I dun understand, I dun know how.

Dun take it personal, just let it go.

One ear in, the other ear out...

It is easy say than done.

Why treat others like dirt? feeling unsecure? maybe so.

Do u believe in karmma?

Someday somehow, u will know.

Give me back to me...

2007-11-12T13:10:00.000+08:00

Last night, i had a good chat with my ex-collegue. She updated me what is the latest changes in my ex company. And that really reminded me why i left. Well looking back, i gain lots of friendship there. Which is something that i miss...laughter and fun.
There is also lots of politics that i hate. Cos i am basically a very simple man that dun think that far.

I am stuck now with my current job situation. I wont say that i hate it or what. Just that it can really drain u off and make u so tired at the end of the day. Boy, is that what i want in my life.

I wonder why things around me changes. The feeling is gone. I find that i am so lost. I need time to settle down and think.

To think and have my life back...

Give me back to me...

Cannot be any worst

2007-11-06T20:21:00.000+08:00

Yes, is true... it cannot be any worst. I am now in the most difficult time of my life. I never know that a human nature can be that nasty. Until now... I promise myself i will be strong and treat others with a kind heart. World Peace....

I think i really need a break...so sian in life...

Really lookin forward to my KL trip in end of the month....

Break me

2007-05-13T01:46:00.000+08:00

Been really busy with office work lately, that tender is so rush and i was given three area to do...anyway it is coming to an end soon...god blessed...

A lot of thing happened for the past few months and it really bothers me. I changes my way of viewing friendship and i hate what it had done to me. Whether to trust a friend or not, who is the real friend that stand by u and who is the one that use u for a motive. Maybe friendship only happen outside the office, too much politic and i hate that. People that seems nice to u maybe throwing a knife behind u. god..

Get in touch with KK lately...my ex. He is still a kind soul. Still care about me and i am glad that i can talk to him abt my problems.

Fran and i seems to be more and more distant in our relationship. One thing really is i am really too busy at work and my ECA over the weekend. I wish to have some free time to breath and spend some quality time together with him. We are going for a short trip to KL end of this month. To relax, do some shopping and also visit Kat..
my long forgotten friend...hehehe..

I simply love my this new laptop. It is the coolest toy at this moment. But i really dun have much time with him...that is why now at 2 am, i am using him to write my long forgotten blog.

Tomorrow, sunday still need to go back office attend to that stupid tender drawing. I am truely tired!! i need a break now!!!

happy me?

2007-05-12T23:08:00.000+08:00

Finally back to blog again...

bought a new laptop and hp...:)

happy me!

Monday Monday

2006-09-25T12:48:00.000+08:00

Another Monday.... There is 52 weeks in a year...that means there are 52 monday...Sian..

Why can't we have 3 weekends and 4 weekdays? Wonder who set the rule of work 5 days and rest 2 days.... Must really kill him... Anyway he is dead many many many months ago... I strongly believe we should lead a simple and stressless life. Living in Singapore really dun allow us to have this luxury...everything cost money, money, money...

Travelling around the world really make me appreciate this little island.. everything is green, clean and organize...Although it can be boring sometime, but hey,....this is the place i called HOME...

Yes I love Singapore

My Taiwan Trip

2006-09-12T12:47:00.000+08:00

Been bit restless...is time to go back to work? Or is it the late night mahjong? Or maybe is just the side effect of my detox proggram..

It was a good fun last night....play 1.5 round of mahjong and i won 25 sin at the end of the game.. hehe...

I have write something about my Taiwan Trip.... simple and straight forward...

This is me having FUN!! hahaha, Went to several interesting places.... As you can see... making fun by the rock, soaking in that super hot spring water, visiting the Taipei 101, Greeny Alishan and that early sun rise...

What i will miss in Taiwan...??
The FOOD!! Usually we had our meal at small eatery or but from the roadside stall...which is yummy.

So i had spend 10 days in Taiwan eating and travelling but mostly is a rest and relax trip from my busy working life....and I LOVE IT!!

Back from Taiwan....

2006-09-11T11:24:00.000+08:00

Back from Taiwan last night...i shouldnt have take budget airline...the space is so tight and 4.5 hrs is a long way home..so next time if i travel again, i should save more money...
I have 3 days of leave before i go back to work. Decided to do a detox proggram. Weight myself last night, put on 3 kg..hmm...so is a good time to do something to myself.

A cow Jumpin' over my car

2006-07-14T23:42:00.000+08:00

I pasted this cow sticker over Fran car few weeks ago...Last week while we were on our way to Suntec for some walk walk...i looked up and saw THE COW.. it was so funny and that i decided to use my nokia ...hehe...

That night was also my first time trying our the Carl Jr burger.... It really is big and really ex...cos us $14 plus for just one mushroom burger set which include one drink, one fries and one onion rings..... well Fran and i fully agree that Carl burger is good...so give it a try if u are hungry and saw one nearby...

Today Fran got his new car...yeah after so many months of waiting...we went for dinner with his new toy..not bad with the smell of new leather...:) will show u pic of his car when time are right...just now too late and no light for good photo...

This is cute, saw this while on our way out from a meeting...it was paste beside the lift...encourage people not to take lift and spend some time for little step fun...well 20 steps a day to keep 2.7 kg away....i think that is possible ...if u do it for a year and stop eating...hehehe..

13June...Tuesday

2006-06-13T16:49:00.000+08:00

I guess being lazy is human nature..hahaha...it has been weeks since i last update my blog. Chatted with Daniel last nite and he asked me why i stopped? Cos he checked on my site religously...hahaha...no lah...just kidding...

Of course, a lot of thing happened to me from early May to now...well, to summarise.
Kat, my best pal finally moved back home. I missed her indeed. She SMS me while she took her coach home on her very last trip. A sense of lost just suddenly come over me, i weeped... is like empty void in my heart. After all these year, i know is not easy to find a good friend. Through experience..i know... It take fate, trust and understanding.

Recently, a colleague stopped talking to me, totally. And i respect her will and choice. Initially i started to question myself, did i do something wrong? Am i not good enough? I began to question my character...After some talk with other friends. i begin to accept and respect her choice. We still not talking...

I am not changing for anyone.. i simply believe accept a person as what he is...dun try to mold or change a person character... I am what i am ...at this age of coming 35... i am old enough to be myself.

Fran and me with jessie and husband went for a road trip to KL mid May... it was a fun trip...visited kat new house and did some shopping...Trip to KL is always fun.

Job wise. Very happy so far. As my hard work pay off...never been so satify in work..
Finally people see what i am doing.. A good news.... there will be a press release this coming friday. For a big project in 2008. My work will be send to all newspaper and TV....I dun wanna be famous...i just wanna be rich...I guess hard work need to pay off before they recogise u and give u a healthy pay raise huh ...hahaha...

Everything is looking good so far....work, love and family... now i just need another holiday.....hahaha... but i am still broke ....how har????

Sunday Sian...

2006-04-30T13:40:00.000+08:00

What a long weekend...labour day holiday...i had quite a good rest.

First of all, Jessie/sandy/wei siong and me had a good fight over the mahjong table..from 4 pm till 2 am yesterday, we had 3 rounds of game, the first two i lose abt $15.00. But lucky at the last game, i won $20 so end up i won $5.00 more..hahaha very fun but very tired. I guess we are not young anymore so staying up late really can kill.

Today, Frans invited me to his colleague's condo for a pot luck thingy. Can swim and sun tan.. but the weather lately is quite moody...so wonder will it rain...really restless, cos back in my mind i know i still have a project on hand that need to complete by this weekend...

Been very faithful to the gym lately, cos i really can see some development below my shirt. The body looks good to me..hahaha...getting older and is my last chance to take care otherwise it may be too late...:P but i still didnt lose much weight, just have a nice tone body now. I hope my waist can cut down a bit more.. the worst thing abt me is, i always have this concept that since i work out i can affort to eat a bit more..so i can never get rid of the tire in the middle session.

Was intro to a young gay couple website lately, is quite funny to read about their life. i guess i had passed their age. Me and frans are not that loving...hahaha we dun really said it out.. maybe we are more friend than couple now..who knows.. Like what monica told me, we are just lonely that is why we hold on to each other..

I guess living in a city.. as gay man...closet one..is not so easy...i find it hard , as i still mind how people look at me. Although i work hard at work but i believe the conservative society still care. Working with gay people...although i know in our creative line, there are many PLU but i really dun wanna risk.

Kat is moving back home. She is such a dear friend, i can talk to her about my problem and stuffs. Now moving away from singapore, it may be hard to really call and chat.. I sincerely wish her good luck back home and be a happy house wife to be..hahaha..

Sat, my resting day-April22

2006-04-22T12:14:00.000+08:00

Time really pass fast...maybe i am getting older now..started to like those songs that i dislike in the past. hahaha..yeah so funny, right? I really like music whenever i passby a music store, i will just go in and walk one round, i dun buy as many CD as before. very selective nowadays... was jalan jalan at a pasan manan last nite. As u know they always have a CD store selling cheap CDs. They were playing Chen bai Qiang on air. Dun really like him, but his (only love u) really sounds good to me then....i am old now..

SG, Tang, Mar and Woof are working their ass off on this sat ....now...saw them on MSN...they are good people and i respect them... SG once told me i over-work for the company, cos i work over few weekends in a row...but situation put me in a position that i had no choice but to stay back...anyway, everyone is unhappy...

The system or the way this comapny work is a bit weird. Just that the unhappiness grow deeper and deeper..sooner or later all the good people wanna leave, but there is no cure to it.. is so weird how these changes develop...I am part of the group.
Maybe cos i am a bit careless and living in my own world...i am better off, cos i only get hurt if i know too much..the problem with me is i dun think far..i just be happy with what i am doing in that moment. and hope everyone around me are happy.

So, how should i spend my weekend....bake roti? or go gym? Life is boring in singapore...help help..

My DNA report

2006-04-15T18:27:00.000+08:00

My Personal Dna Report

April Rest

2006-04-12T18:38:00.000+08:00

Been a long long long time since i last update my blog. I believe my friends out there thought i am dead...anyway i am still kicking and alive.

Ok, let me update what happened lately in my happy life in the "shit hole".

Honestly, One had to be happy in his job. To stay happy is an art. Working in big organization and working with people is not an easy task. I find that i am more and more ..well i can only say plastic. I always joke about becoming a tupperware. anyway job is always there, even if u die one day the company wont wind up cos u are dead.

i was very busy last few weeks, been workin on a project for almost 3 to 4 weekend..I was tired, mentally....after some rest i am feeling better now. I learned a lesson from here... U will enjoy your work if u put your heart into it but hey dun do it blindly... at least have to be appreciated.. My boss was blind... he never realised that i was workin over few weekend and i am tired... end up he said...he dun know cos i didnt voice out and tell him... do i need to be vocal?? to be loud ...??

I really learn a lot in the shit hole...i believe i changed my way...from treating people to thinking way ahead...although i am not as good as some girls...the things is i hate to be the one left behind not knowing things around me... Is a sad way of looking at life...I am not an actor nor a star. why i need to act and not be myself.

I guess i had my happy days when i was a freelancer few years back...and now i am fallen angel into this shit hole...

Let's pray for me not be a prey in this shit hole to those ugly politic....

Sat-Jan21

2006-01-21T14:01:00.000+08:00

One more week to Chinese New Year... busy busy busy. With office work and also home. Today they are coming to install a kitchen sliding door...cos my mom is a super oily chef! Everytime when she cook, goodness, the whole house will be full of smoke...
So no choice have to spend money on the partition.

A new year ... i hope everything will be on a right track. I am so hopeless in life. Guess i am not brave enough. Once u shown weakess, people will try to take advantage of u. I am tired.. Am i not good enough?

I believe i did my best in my job. But something just not right...maybe i am just too senitive.. Sometime i just wonder how long i will live before i really rest.

Better dont think too much...must stay positive.. God, give me strenght to carry on..

Have a good weekend..

2006-01-10T13:06:00.000+08:00

2006-01-09T08:29:00.000+08:00

Been 2 weeks since i last update my blog. So what have i been up to?? Well, festive seasons so a good reason to eat and have fun. Reality soon settle in... how much weight i gain..hmmm, i dunno...guess the machine at home is not that functioning...anyway, so much fun that night after the D&D, last friday.

The theme for this year Dinner and Dance is around the world, and our table we dress up as a cow-boy. It suits me as i am tall and handsome..:P and the BEST thing is i was also being pull up to that stage for some dance thing with the 2 PRETTY dancers!!
I will never forget that night...

I even win in the lucky-draw. number 19....so far away huh...A package to a photo studio for family photo taking. I was actually a bit disppointed then but come to think about it, my family never took any studio shoot before and i will never come up with this idea. So in a way, maybe is a blessing.

MerryChristmas,Sunday- Dec25

2005-12-25T12:16:00.000+08:00

Is a sunday morning, christmas day morning. No snow, no bell, no money...

Well, in life what do u want? I just wish to be happy. Happy at work, happy in love, happy with friends, happy with no worries. I think that is not easy to achieve... Why? Because living in singapore is expensive, i got to pay this, pay that. I can said that my bonus already 100% gone....cos everything goes to pay the bill..... when can i start saving? save me and my old age... Maybe i ask for too much, end up this is the price that i had to pay. All i am askin is to have a comforable life, maybe i am just too materialistic, huh? I should control!!

Life have been good lately, i must say. Especially after i started my meditation, feels good. I hope to achieve a better life, a more creative mind and a more rewarding self development.

What year 2006 install for me? i wish for world peace.

Merry Christmas to all that are reading this....I love you.

Happy Weekend- Nov27

2005-11-27T11:49:00.000+08:00

Finally come to weekend..Really looking forward to this day as I had booked a musical several weeks ago and today, 26nov is the day. It was also intentionaly Fran birthday gift. It rained very heavily in the morning when i am picking Fran up from his office. Luckily nothing happened..cos i almost knock into a lamp pole.

RENT, about the lives and loves of a group of struggling young artist, gay, lesb and straight. I love the music and the act since I watched many years ago. Karan act and sing well in the show and I am glad that I catched this ...

After the show, was about evening time... Decided to go funan for dinner...The objective is really to go to somewhere nearby to take aura photo...Indeed a unique and special moment for me. As u can see I am in light of orange/yellow..
and the explanation is so me...:) I am glad that it did not show the ugly me as the light is all over me..hahaha... They also include a quite detail explaination of the light zone and its meaning.. The picture is not ex and cost a merely $10, i strongly encourage whoever into discovering themselve, go and get one soon...

It tells that on the rightside(expression...The color that I putting out to the world...) My color is green/yellow: the world sees me as cheerful, happy and confident. Yellow is the color of sunshine, warmth and intellectual capability, while green is the color of healing, self confident and discipline. Ochre, a blending of these two colors show that i am an optimistic, practical and thoughtful attitude. I may often find myself in the center of attention or in a leadership role...( I know that i am a happy man, only under certain situation that will put me down. It sounds quite true and accurate )

On the center(experience...The color that seen over my head now...The color that best describe me, or what I wish to be)...M color is orange: I can't help expressing myself creatively! I am an artist at heart and march to the beat of different drummer. Right now I am feeling powerful I have the energy, enthusiasm, confident and will to accomplish anything that I desire. Orange is also the color of originality and independence....( I know that there is a change in me lately, maybe due to the change of role and team in the office, the whole me feels different. I am in a more relax position. I am still trying to adjust myself to the whole situation)

On the Left side(future...The color or vibration coming into my being)...My color is Golden orange: my future is bound to be thought provoking as well as highly creative. Activity generating energy is coming into my field. This shade of golden orange is a mixture of active red and intellectual yellow. In this position of my auric field indicates that a very creative and intellectually stimulating future lies in store for me. Inspired ideas are already unfolding within me. I also can enjoy life as I wish...( I truely believe something is going to happen, cos i have call up for a lesson of healing workshop. It is something new and exciting to me. Next sunday is the day and i really looking forward to it, I am sure there is a big change coming)

On the throat(Communication...Is traditionally the energy being expressed)...My color is Golden orange: I can't help expressing myself joyfully and creatively. Happiness, excitement and humor is what I most desire in my life. I spread sunshine wherever I go. My voice is my instrument. I may enjoy singing, acting, telling jokes and stories or just chatting with friends... People find me a pleasurable, lively and entertaining companion. I am warm, outgoing and sociable.( This i have to admit, I like to share my happiness and small talk to whoever knows me..Oveall i hope i am a fun guy that people like to hang around with)

On the heart(Empathy...The vibration coming into my being)...My color is green/yellow: what I desired in life is to heal and nuture others with my humor and optimistic. I am fun-loving and carefree yet I feel a responsibility and desire to counsel and help people with their problems and challenges. I have deep insight and empathy into what others are experiencing, but I have the unique ability to remain centered and amused when all else is falling into chaos around me. My humor is often my strength and saving grace.( Well, maybe because of where i am now, a senior in the company, i really need to look after some junior colleague. In my heart i feels that we are all adult, we should know the limits to the fun and should concentrate in job when the time call)

On the Solar Plexis( normally the center vibration of my being, associated with power, money...It is also the center of self esteem and ego)... My color is yellow: Like the rising sun, yellow brings forth warmth and light. Yellow are representative of the intellect. Each shade or tint of yellow expresses a type of function, ability or expression of the intellect. I am filled with a sense of excitement and joy. I probably feel happy and confident as I discovered my life's work. I have the confident to accomplish anything I desire to do. I laugh easily and are amused by life.( well i do enjoy my job to an extend, So far i am happy there. Now with most of my debt clear, i am happy to be able to enjoy it more without thinking too much on how much more money that i need to folk out)

Should I leave out the color for sex..heehee that a bit too personal mann...Hahaha...Anyway the color is GOLDEN ORANGE...Also means for friendship, socializing, having fun and being myself are what I wish to focus on now. I make my work and chores a pleasure and strive to enjoy every moment. I have a great sense of humor and laugh easily. My life is a fun and creative project. I am also able to relate to others in a warm, open and friendly way. ( yeah, i am enjoying my life now. At this age of mine, i dont wanna lead a boring and restless life. That is why i go gym, roller brading and now my passion is find out more abt the spiritual me)

On the root( traditionally the energy of the physical plane and material reality)..
My color is yellow: Fun is what I am concentrate on now. No matter what I am doing, it needs to be an enjoyable experience. I may be successful in my business if it is fun and creative for me. The world sees me as cheerful, happy, playful, carefree and lucky. Yellow is the color of sunshine and warmth.. My personality is definitely outgoing and optimistic. I may often find myself the center of attention, others see me as radiant and self-expressive.( Well, guess that i am a born designer huh hahaha. Not born to be rich, that means)

OK...The last is the summary...My overall( Summarizes the color intensities of the various elements of my aura(chakras) and the overall condition of my being: My color is GOLD.... In the near future I will have the opportunities to be an inspiration to many people. I glow with a beautiful inner light that people instantly recognize and respond to. I am full of hope, inspiration, utopian ideals and zeal. I easily inspire others with my optimism and excitement with new ideas. I have quick, curious mind always happy and hungry for new learning. I am happy to be what I am and I feel confident to accomplish anything that I want. ( A inspiration to many people?? wow what a big role and i dun think i am such a person, I means my character wasnt that out spoken...will see how it leads me to...True that i like to learn new things, but how long the passion will last? i dunno..i was also known to only have 3mins passion type of guy....hahaha...)

wow ....God...This is the longest blog I ever write hahaha...Indeed it is an experience or lesson learned from the aura photo, it teach me and tell me who I am..
for friends who knows me...This is me...
