Mid-night Spree? it's a Gimmick!

just came back from the so-call Mid Night Spree at Orchard, and u noe wad... it's bull-shit! wadever they say about the last friday of the month is a day for all shopaholics to shop til wee hours is a total big fat lie!

when i arrived at Far East ard 10+pm, majority of the shops are closed! if not closing soon loh.. made my come all the way after lesson somemore. boo hoo. and i was kinda hungry by the time we finished walking round Far East & Wisma, even thou there's nutthin much to shop for. we headed for Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe since its operating 24hrs on weekends =) guess wad? gotta queue... ZZz.. the cafe's very WANG loh.. let the pictures do the toking.. cos i'm kinda lazy to elaborate for now. haa.

the food's okay only.. think its the craze's dats drawing all the people in.

of the tiring wednesday

went Ken Noodle House again! i've been craving for their ramen and oso RY's been asking about it lah, so yesh! had my tamago ramen yet again. i was uber full after finishing my bowl of noodles, not forgetting the nicely-done gyoza =)) missy RY mus have been reali hungry dat day cos she finished her noodles simply too fast le ^.^ or it jus me who's slow? dunno wor. while we were busy with our ramen, the sky began to turn dark and real nasty lor.. roars of thunder... and heavy downpour splattering outside the shop, thank god we were sheltered and enjoying our 香喷喷的道地日本拉面! haik

looks familiar? haa..

i seriously think the other section of their shop which i'd last visited with min, they serve better ambience there (more cosy & romantic). missy RY, i was jus telling u that day loh or u prefer to smell of gyoza and taking the risk of being scalded by the steamer? lol.

so anw, with the rain pouring heavily it's impossible for us to travel anywhere else other than the next OG bulding, link with a damn poorly-structured overhead bridge and guess wad, we were stucked inside the building for a whole 30mins? maybe more.... since we spent like more than 20mins on the TOY Department, yea.. t.o.y. haa. 别怀疑 就是玩具啦

actuali i brought a kid along that day. lol. the kid was looking high and low for the TMNT figurines loh.. hurhur.. even insisted on taking pictures with the figurines (using my fone), 天啊

okay... that's the kid there. 超开心的咯！

but her joy didn't lasted for long.. haa... when she started whining and 'crying' for her mummy persistently! gosh. i shldn't go too far in detail, cos i dun wanna get whacked in msn by her AGAIN =x

我家有个 明星!

special thanks to min & qiuqiu... for their besta effort and time spent decorating, one of the best pictorial i've come across so far =)) looking at the photos, remind us of the good fond memories. i wish everyone is as joyful as i am tonight; holding on and cherishing every friendship that's embracing us faithfully.

only pity for the night was that, din managed to bump into rac and p.i.g, we were so near yet we din get to cross each other's path =(

ps: to all my dearest frenzz: i love u guys, and lets not forget each other k, i'll try my very best to do wadever it takes to make our friendship last =)

the aching process


the post-effect of Thursday badminton is giving me hella of suffering now =( been months since i last stepped into the court; and the 2hrs (its in fact lesser actuali) game made me ran panting out of breath, all thanks to missy RY =x

the subsequent aftermath got me grumbled and moan in pain.... totally weak and exhausted! imagine climbing the stairs up and down a few times per day.. killer! suicidal!

then came my 救星，tiger balm!! wahseh... power lor... the pain reduces abit lah... but by the next day, the soreness almost completely gone! =))

i should just make sure that i exercise more. haii... 懒惰虫 =p

现在 永远 你就是我的美

你的样子是如此清晰烙印在我脑海中；

你的影子是那么的忽近忽远，
时时浮现在我记忆里；

我无法自拔，无能抗拒，无力低档，
无意之中 泥足深陷了；

我本以为，唯有到了夜深时分，
寂寞与孤单，才会莫名 占据我心灵；

我，越来越 不解，不思，不懂，真正的自己了。

即使我，看起来是如此的不闻不问，
还是会不仅担心你，是否过的开心；

在多的，掩饰与遮盖，还是无法隐藏
我默默无名的关心。

想说 又不能释怀，就让这一切仅在不言中，
默默的为彼此祝福着。

我愿做你的隐形守护天使，远远的守护着你。

some random thoughts

it was flashed across Saturday's Newpaper headlines, 'Perth Diving Victim back in S'pore Hospital'. it started with the 24 yr old graduate, Serene, who went on a-week long holiday to Rottnest Island, a popular beach resort in Perth; together with her boyfriend for their desired scuba diving trip. tragedy strikes on the 4th day of their holiday; on the 8th dive at Groper Caves off Geordie Bay. it is known that Serene had appearantly signalled to her dive buddy aka boyfriend, that she wanted to surface, but minutes later, she was found lying motionless on the seabed. she was then pulled out of the sea unconscious and brought onto the boat where the dive-master attempts to perform resuscitation. she was admitted into the local A&E for immediate medical attention, subsequently, she was flew back to homeland via the int'l SOS, now she's warded in ICU of TTS hospital, in coma status still.

after reading the news, it kinda pound on me; it'll be my first 'overseas dive trip' if my plan goes on smoothly for this coming May/June, am i prepared for it? afterall, diving is so unlike any other outdoor activities, there're jus too many factors affecting and pushing you, when you are down under waters, you are on your own, and perhaps the only person you may rely on is probably jus your dive buddy. precautions can be made, but uncertainty are beyond control. Serene's accident got me thinking persistently... i'd got worried for myself as well as for rac's safety, especially its her first attempt, we've got lots to consider for.

anw, my parents came to know abt the news too, and of cos they're kinda against it now that such accident had happened. tho, i'll be very appreciative and happy if they are supportive in whatever i've planned to do, but i noe what held them back, their concern as a parent. any slight error could be disastrous, unrepeatable, and a painful memory to even think of.

ps: pray hard for Serene, hope u can come round soon.

of the Movie 300

Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, '300' is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (cast by Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his million soldiers empire. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy.

Mysterious. Fierce. Formidable. Spartans are among the most enigmatic cultures in history. Taught never to retreat, never to surrender, they are the perfect warriors. A true Spartan warrior is always willing to fight glory and die for freedom—they consider it a ‘beautiful death.’ They define themselves by sacrifice and freedom.

i went to catch the movie 300 ytd, and yea.. the show was totally awesome! thumbs up for the story line; well re-enacted by the actors/actresses; the blasting sound effect were truly fascinating; intense-stunning actions; hyper-real brutal killings scenes (gruesome to some perhaps); and erotic sexual scenes (its an M18 movie btw).

i personally like the part, on Spartans battle formation at the valley and how they fought fiercely; hand-in-hand with their peers, tho King Leonidas and his partial troops of 300 died honourably in the end, but u'll never imagine how on earth 300 soldiers can even go on battle field to challenge a million empire. on certain times, i feel i could link this movie to LOTR, maybe for the monstrous looking-like creatures and immortals. lastly, not forgetting, the eye-candy for most ladies would probably be the 6-pacs of the Spartans actors! typically each and every one of them comes with a 6-pac build. wow wow wow!! i am definately promoting this movie to anyone who comes along and ask me on 300, a must see!

ps: the gv crew checked on my i/c -.-" jus found out from bro, that he was being checked oso. haa. the rules are kinda stringent now yea?

Botak Jones Clementi

okay.. okay.. Botak Jones, probably not dat unfamiliar to many bah, u might have seen it in paper articles, forums, by word of mouth, etc.

i've been looking forward to trying out this proclaimed best Authentic American Food, that has a few outlets open in different areas of S'pore, and the one i went to is located at the central of Clementi (about 10mins walk from the MRT).

on the outside, you may tend to look down on this small little kopitiam, but once u've stepped in, you'll be greeted with plates and many more plates of Botak Jones American food. cos basically everyones only ordering from the same stall, you see nutthin else but fries, fish & chips, burgers, etc. so anw, you've gotta queue to take orders and then you wait for your food to come. i can only say, the entire coffee house is so stuffy, smoggy, kinda undesirable to stay for long; its the environment i'm talking about, yet to touch on the food. so back to the food, i'd ordered the Cajun Chicken while RY ordered the Fish & Chips. the presentation looks good, actuali the food was pretty up to standard too, but i would prefer more to the chips this time, the portion on the fries overly-excessive i felt. ohh.. yea.. btw, when u order your food from Botak Jones, they will provide the normal ketchup and chilli, in addition they will give you the mustard and some brown vinegar (by heinz), so jus a gentle reminder on the brown vinegar, its meant for the chicken and not on anything else, unless you dun mind of cos, i've added mine on the fries instead.

Gary 曹格 he's the Man

gary's been a hot topic recently, cos he's here in SG for his Superman album's promotion. and there has been alot of commotions going on, since he will be going around places like NTU for a mini concert (on 2nd March'07); Kunion at cineleisure for a short get-together session with his fans, and 7pm at IMM sing cum autography session (on 3rd March'07); and lastly at Junction 8 for a sing cum autography session (on 4th March'07). seriously speaking, i'm not gary's 头号 Fans, but still, i was pretty excited when i was told of his activities during the 3 days ^_^

coincidentally, bud asked me over msn if i am interested in the Kunion event, hee.. of cos i am! wad a chance to get close to gary! *woot* and so jus two nites before the event, (i noe its kinda last minute) but i was busy asking around, if any of my frenz happen to be holding on to Kbox's receipts, with min. of $60 spent within a single receipt. anw, the end-result wasn't fruitful and i didn't managed to get the receipts eventually, i guess its jus not the norm that anyone would keep their receipts yea? haa.. but... incidentally, bud went KTV with her working colleagues.. haaa... and she has the receipts! *tarda* then came the not so-good news, cos having the receipts not necessarily entitle us to the entry pass =x *sian diao*

but being hopeful, we went slightly earlier (i was late by 30mins still) around 1pm when the event starts at 2pm actuali. bud arrived even earlier... and so she got me gary's album and a satin jazz album for herself, before we made our way to Kunion. i wasn't sure its because we were early, cos the crowd wasn't overwhelming at all, definately not wad i was expecting. in my heart i was thinking, dun tell me this is it, so pathetic ah!? others might think otherwise, it'll be a better chance of us getting close to gary isn't it? the lesser the crowd, the better! haa. after some understanding and querying, we got our 'queue number' no.14 & 15, we see no point in standing in the line since we've already got a que no. so we headed down for our brunch instead =) (hungry.. hungry.. we need food, energy, to cheer gary on later!)

we went back before the official 2pm, while we were queuing to enter, the crew came asking the crowd if anyone is a member with kbox, cos if you are, then u're privillege to take picture with gary! boy... taking picture with gary leh! one-to-one picture! (we were thinking) but err... actuali nope, its a group photo rather =x and i was thinking of hugging gary in the midst of the photo-taking! grrr...

##look at the girl next to gary! ##

anw, gary was rather slack throughout the whole thing, he merely sang the duet 梁山伯与朱丽叶 with one of the female fan, and his favourite Moon River (gary was taken aback when he saw the cheong ver Moon River) haa.. and u noe wad, most of the time he's jus sitting in the crowd hearing his fans singing for him instead =x

we probably noe there's a Fan Club for gary, but do u noe they started off with only 3 members initially and their 会长 is jus a teenage girl lor... and she's so like gary.. esp her hair.. haa... her frenz call her 曹妹, literally means 曹格's 妹妹. bud and i were teasing her nick.. cos 曹妹 sounds like 草莓(strawberry) lor... haa.. but they are nice lah.. cos they made a short DV for gary and after watching it, gary shed his tear, he's thankful to his FC =) the only 美中不足 was, the event ended off superb early lor.. less than an hr i think.. gary's probably tired le bah, he looked so stoned.

us at the kunion =))
