Gym with Mike

After the gym session yesterday, Mike and I went to Lot 1 to meet with Sharon for dinner. I’d to withdraw money and halfway through deciding how much should I withdraw, Mike suddenly creeped up from behind me and whispered, “Sharon is over there! I saw her, but I pretended not to see her!”

I pressed on the ‘My Favorite Transaction’ tab and turned my head around. And there she was, standing at a distance, beside a rubbish bin, enjoying her fag with a ‘ I-know-you-are-pretending-that-you-haven’t-see-me‘ kind of look.

Can both my good friends be even crapier than that???

As we were walking over to her, Mike was still very much in his act, looking from left to right. It wasn’t till we were a few steps away from Sharon that he decided to drop his act -_-

I was wearing my Orange Singlet yesterday. And Sharon said, “I saw someone orange walking over towards the ATM machine and I start to keep a look out! And wau lau, our eyes had already made contact, and he purposely turn away, pretending not to see me!”

Is this what we call weird-loving-moments?

Another married couple, friends of mine – Maverick and Steph, are also like that. Steph said, “It only happens after you are married”

After dinner, we went to NTUC. It’s one fun place to be if you go with your friends. Depending on how lame are you, you can even crack a joke out of a packet of Ayam Curry Powder. In other words, cheap thrill.

Worse, Sharon, took a video of it. I’m so going to be nice to her, in case she blackmail me when I’m famous next time! ( Kee Lin, you are thinking too much! )

Have to hit the book again. I WILL PASS tomorrow, and once I’d passed, I’m so gonna burn the textbook!

A Dollar, A Day Rule

Clothing in Singapore are so over-priced! Why can’t they sell it like they sell it in Bangkok! I just love it when people tells me, “Yes! It’s cheap but the quality is not very good!” And I’ll always ask them, “What? You plan to wear it for the next 10 years?”

Haha… Actually that was me in the past! I rotate among like just 5 tee-shirt back in Poly! See why I say I suspect that I’d depression back then? And best of all, Shirmaine didn’t even try to pull me out of it!!!!!!!

Ever since Ivy shared with me the ‘ a dollar, a day, and it’s pretty cheap ‘ rule. I’d since, changed my mindset when getting stuffs. Say a shirt is $10, if I wear it for 10 times, it’s considered as ‘getting my money worth’. And if it’s still in good shape, it will be a bonus.

For those who are late, Ivy has 2 LV bag. The thing is she isn’t the kind who will really splurge, therefore I asked her why. And she came out with this ‘crappy yet logical in a way’ theory. Say a LV bag is $1300, and she planned to use it for the next 3 years. Do a simple math, and it will come out to $1.19 a day!

THAT’S LIKE SO CHEAP, for an LV haha…

Therefore, nowadays, before getting my hands on anything, I will give it a rough ‘lifespan’, do my calculation, then get it.

1) If it’s still in good shape upon reaching it’s lifespan, I’ll give it a pat and say Thanks for hanging in there.

2) If it’s in a bad shape, I’ll say, “You have served your purpose! It’s time!”

3) If it’s tear/spoil/whatever even before reaching it’s lifespan,I will go, “F*** that ‘Orh Xim’ salesperson, who sold this to me!”

The other day, over KTV, Cheng Jia voiced out that he’s keen to go Taiwan again coming June/July. Jonah is keen too. I really hope that by June, I’ll have get stable in my job and be able to join them.

Still ‘Shop till you drop’ trip to Bangkok in August, is a must go! I need to update my wardrobe! Haha…

Re-test on Tues! And I WILL PASS THIS TIME ROUND!

Strange Beliefs of the Tan’s Family No. 1

Remember how you would point your finger at that full moon, and get whoever who’s beside you to enjoy that beautiful sight together with you, when you were small?

There was once an Aunt of mine caught me doing that. She slapped my hand and with a dead serious look on her face, she said, “Never ever point your finger at the moon! It will cut your ear the next day!” ( huh? )

If it’s one thing you learn in this weird Tan’s Family, it’s never ever ask question. Somehow they have this crazy thinking that kids aren’t suppose to ask question! They are suppose to listen and follow! I think some of them missed their calling in life. They should had signed on with the Army -_-

Years later, I will bring up this incident and another Aunt would say, “No! Your ear wouldn’t get cut off by the moon the next day! Instead, there will be a slight cut at the back of your ear!”

…

…

I don’t know what to think.

A few days ago, after dinner with Mike and Sharon at our usual Haunt, Genki and I happened to see a full moon. Hence, I decided to give it a shot! I pointed my finger at the moon and had to literally forced Genki to do so.

AND FUCK!

THE NEXT MORNING, WHEN I WOKE UP, I DISCOVERED THAT MY EARS ARE…..

still intact.

not cuts at the back…

TESTED AND CONFIRMED!

This belief is BULLSHIT!

Pre Chinese New Year Gathering with Halo 4

5:15 pm.

“Hi~”

“Yar! Say!”

“I’m calling to check what time will you be leaving office. I’m doing a rough estimation to what time I’m shall leave later! You are not going to be late, are you?” I asked. It’s already 5:15 and I want to make sure that Shirmaine will be on time, or if possible, not be fashionably late. I hate waiting for that woman!

“I’m leaving at 6pm…”

“Where’s your office located again?”

“It’s at Toh Tuck, which is 2 bus stop away! Hello! It’ll only take 6 minutes to reach Clementi!”

6 minutes? Who the hell is she trying to kid? My god! It’s peak hour and it will takes 6 bloody minutes for the bus to stop, passengers to board before moving off again. I seriously think that she can find a good friend in Sharon, who’s a Queen when it comes to exaggerating.

I don’t even know why am I foolish enough again to actually believe her. I reached Clementi @ exactly 615pm only to find myself surrounded by strangers.

It wasn’t till 640pm that I finally get to see her face. She’d to deposit cash at the Fast Cash Deposit Machine @ POSB. I’m surprised to see that she’s wearing a red top when it’s not even Chinese New Year yet. I asked, “Why!”

“Oh! I’d my fortune read and it says that I must deposit cash into the bank by today, wearing red! And I shall have good luck for the rest of the year. And NO! DON’T QUESTION ME!” She said, in a very serious tone.

I looked at her and blinked my eyes. I was like what’s with that big reaction? Her auntie came for a visit?

“Where did you get your fortune read?”

“Online!”

“Never share!”

“Hello! How do I let you know? You can’t even do office email!” She explained. Though I never questioned her on that, still it’s bullshit! Since when communication between us is only confined/ limited to OFFICE EMAILS? Whatever happens to SMS, normal Hotmail’s email, Facebook’s messaging, a bloody phonecall and of course fucking MSN. -_-

Still waiting for her turn to the FCD in the queue, she showed me her recently MANICURED fingernails. Silver glitters for the main body and red nail polish at the tip plus a special coat of ‘Gel’ which is supposed to last for a month. All for $75! I told her I don’t know Gel and it looks like $10.

She told me that she’s not that cheap.

Anyway, I did told her that I shall give it a shot ( Depositing of cash, I’m refering to, not getting my nails MANICURED! ) she gave me a kangaroo on spotlight look and said, “NO! It has to be today! Works only today!”

What the fuck! Thanks for not sharing!

I asked if there’s anyway to salvage the situation. I almost fainted when she told me that to make sure there’s money in my wallet between day 1 to day 15 of Chinese New Year.

Whatever the case is, I’m so getting Red Underwear. Xiao Ge, if you are reading this and is interested to share a box of 3, Red Renomas, send me a message.

…

…

…

Forget it! I just remembered that we are of different sizes. ( Please don’t think dirty! I’m refering to size of underwear, not size of *ahem* )

By the time we stepped into the MRT, it’s already 655. Jonah called us when the train reached Dover. And for the first time in our history of gatherings, that chap actually turned up on time. Amazing! “I can’t believe that he’s early!” I told Maine.

“Yar! I know! He told me that he will be reaching @ 645! I never tell you because I know you confirm will say me!” She replied.

Here’s the catch!

7pm to 12am!

Free flow of drinks!

A free bowl of Shark Fin Soup ( Mock of course! )!

All for $12 each after GST!

It’s dead cheap! I’m not going to Partyworld or Kbox next time!

Shark Fin Soup has always been a favourite of Maine. However, she’d since gave that up after joining a Save Sharks Group!

And that’s one thing about her that I like, and also why I enjoy my friendship with her so much. When we do things that are kind of out of the world, we don’t really question each other. The number 1 rule, Happy Can Liao! Of course that doesn’t include committing hideous crimes/sins.

Still my best bitch after all these years! Let’s go for a celebration upon hitting our 10 years of friendship =)

They were supposed to be singing. Oh well! Cam-whoring is in their blood!

And for the first time, we didn’t drink. All of us went home sober! Haha

My A.S.S

Woah! This is amazing!

The Initials of my 3 bitches are…

A shley - love scolding me Chee Bye and at the same time giving me THE finger. I’d almost wanted to tell her that the Universal Offensive Signal is actually making reference to a Penis, so why Chee Bye in the first place?  However the though of getting into a  possible senseless debating session with her, sort of refrain me from blurting that out.

S hirmaine  – Need I say more? If you’ve read my blog, you will know that I’m a victim of her ‘ Fuck You ‘ lah

S haron – I still don’t know the exact meaning of Neh Bong yet!

Surprisingly, put the first letter of their name together and you get the word ‘ ASS ‘

-_-” I can so see why are they such angry woman already haha

Pre- Chinese New Year gathering

20 years ago, Chinese New Year was all about getting red packets, discussing ( we still don’t know that mean word, ‘ Bitching ‘ back then) which of the relatives gave the smallest red packet, getting fat ( what’s the meaning of FAT when you were 6 years old then? Does that word even exist? ) over Ferror Rocher/ Bak Gwa/ Pineapple Tarts, drinking packet after packet of Yeo’s Packet Drinks, and ermm getting even more red packet. You only have like 15 days to make that annual income ( provided you are not married and is like below 30 years old? ). Will get so hard on yourself? All it takes is 2 Mandarian Oranges, a wide smile and a simple ‘Gong Xi Fa Cai’!

… It’s honestly the cheapest ‘job’ ever…

I didn’t include getting new clothings and of course underwears, because when you are small, you don’t have a choice. You have to wear Mummy’s choice. And if you happen to have an elder brother, and a Mum who love to see her sons wearing the same outfit, Happy Days =)

Fast forward to now!

I don’t really look forward to Chinese New Year anymore. Somehow, it’ve lost it’s magic over the years. With family members passing on one after another, the whole feeling seems kind of a different. It’s just another public holiday, for us working adults.

Nowadays, I treat all major ( Lets just face it! Happy Children’s Day is a joke! ) Public Holiday as a good reason for me to meet up with people who matters to me in my life. Which explains why a KTV session with Shirmaine, Jonah and Chenj Jia had been arranged for tomorrow evening in Chinatown.

I met up with Sharon, Genki and Estella yesterday at Jurong Point. Over late lunch, we recounted tales from Tanglin Secondary School years. Estella was telling us how much she hates the idea of meeting up with friends before going to school, just to walk to school together, when ‘we can meet up in school in the first place’. Yes! You can argue that on the bright side, the walk to school won’t be boring! However, if one of them is a tardy queen/king, good luck!

My point?

Maine called today, asking me how am I planning to get there tomorrow, and if I’m interested to meet up with her @ Clementi to travel down there together.

“What time?”

“I should be reaching Clementi at around 615 to 630 like that!”

“No! I don’t want! Why can’t I just meet you there? Why do I have to meet with you in Clementi? Wait for you to turn up late?”

“Fuck you lah!”

“What! You all are always late!”

“Nowadays you are always late too hor!” She retorted! ( Seriously, I do hate her guts at times! )

“Yar! That’s because you guys are always late, that’s why I decided to turn up late too!”

“Say who! I turned up early that time, and I had to wait for you!”

…

…

That’s the problem with girls! When they do something right for that very one time or very one occassion, they will always make it sounds like they have been there and done that for over a hundred times!!!

“Okay! I will meet you in Clementi. Since you be reaching at around 615 to 630, I shall turn up @ 640! Because you will still be late!”

“Fuck you lah!” ( Shall I hang up on her??? )

“Hold on a second! You had made a reservation for a room @ 7pm right? If we meet @ 640, will we be able to reach there in time?”

” Do I even look like I fucking care? They BETTER give me a call before giving up the room to someone else!”

…

…

…

*sigh*

I’m SO looking foward to tomorrow =)

My Bitch, My Smitch

I felt kind of upset the other day. I sent a message to Shirmaine, asking her to say something to cheer me up and that bitch actually replied me, ‘You are so fucking handsome!’

…

…

Now you see why? Despite her being my best bitch, I have to be mean to her?

Still, that’s the way we are! She’s my best smitch ( friends who sms each other to bitch about something ) pal.

Looking through collection of photos and pulling out those photos which I’d taken with Sharon.  Compile and make it into a blog entry I will. ( Trying to write in a Yoda manner! That’s kind of hard! )

Fay’s Baby Shower

Okay! This is way overdue! Fay had just given birth to a healthy baby girl this morning. With the arrival of Baby Zobelle, the status/ranking of us ( cousins), is up by a level. I’m officially and Uncle now!

I’d already warned Fay not to teach Zobelle to call me Uncle! A Kor Kor will be nice! Haha… Jason on that ‘I’m an Uncle but please call me Kor Kor’ wagon with me!

The group of us met up for a simple gathering on last Sunday at Steve and Fay’s place. It was my first time there. I couldn’t join them the so-called first time, 3 years ago, as I was away in Taiwan for overseas training. After that, there was another one, but I was scheduled to work.

One of my favorite features of their home….

It looks like any ordinary, boring cupboard, but it’s actually a toilet! How cool is that?

Having fun with Wii. The console belongs to Jason.

20 years ago ( Fuck! I’m old! ), the only fun which we had was playing polices and thieves, chasing and hiding from one another from level 1 to level 14 over at that block which Gramps used to stay in Pandan Gardens. Of course, her Empress Dowager was always chasing around with a cane to get us back into her home. That’s Grandma for you! She has Anger Management issue. Haha… The simplest thing seems to set her off, and get her irritated. Her idea of a normal kid is one who will go to school, come back, stay at home  then go to school the next day. Anything more than that is considered as ’too much’ .

That was us back in 20 years ago!

When you reached a point of time in you life, you won’t be able to do certain activites anymore. Playing Block Catching is one very good example. Imagine you see a group of over 20 years old running around and screaming away. Not only you, even I will pick up the phone and dial 999 too!

Gim Li and I were actually praying hard that my bro be losing the game. Don’t go all Saintly and Holy about this! Come on! Watching others losing and you winning the game, makes the FUN, fun!

One of those very rare moments where we can take a group shot together, with maximum attendance. Okay! Still short of a few cousins…

I just love the idea of how we can have such inexpensive fun, enjoying each other company, updating each other with happenings of our lives, over slices of cheesy pizza, fried chicken wings and garlic breads.

Never ever piss or cheat on your woman! You can kiss goodbye to Happy Father’s Day if you encounter a crazy one! Consider yourself lucky if you bump into a dramatic one! You know? Those kind who will play the victim’s card and create a big sobbing scene like those you see in HK Drama Series?

That classic scene from The Golden Pillow, starring Zoe Tay and Fann Wong years ago.

Ktv @ Clementi for Part 2.

Ma Jiam an illegal gathering we are having here!

Flunk!

I failed the M9 examination. Kind of disappointed because it’s something which I really wanted and needed, to get me started on that new phase of my life. Whatever it is, no point crying over spilled milk!

I WILL GET IT THE NEXT TIME!!!

Felt like I’d let Maverick down, because I told him that I’m confident in passing when he called in the morning. Very sorry about that!

Have to hit the books again!

I WILL PASS!

I WILL PASS!

AND I WILL PASS!

This is a Joke!

Those ‘Rrivate and Confidential – To be Opened by Addressee Only’, letters were given out by our respective Team Manager a few days ago.

Around the same time last year, I tore opened the letter with much excitement, only to be informed that there won’t be any increment due to that economy crisis. Not that I’m complaining, I’m actually thankful for the fact that a) I managed to have a not-bad-paying job at that point of time, b) Was still given a 2 + 1 months of bonus, 3) wasn’t made redundant by the company.

The same time this year, I tore opened the letter without much excitement. I was more curious, to see how much they’ll be giving me. I heard my colleague, who’s sitting beside me, said, “This is a joke!”

I took a look at it! And I was surprised that it’s only a mere $40! That’s so sad! I can see and even relate to that ‘joke’ which she was referring to! The so-called increment can’t even buy me a jug of Long Island Tea at Zouk! That’s how pathetic it is! I’m glad that I’ll be out of there in another few days.

The Umbuster

Do they sell this in Singapore?

It’s illegal right?

WHY!!!

Lomo

I’d recently joined a group, The Lomo Lovers, on facebook. I’m not exactly a hardcore lover. Sharon’s the one! Not me!

I’d finished that roll of film and had since, sent it in for developing. I wonder what will the outcome be! Can’t wait! haha

Lunch with MY

Coming close to a month after he’d returned home to Singapore from Denmark, Ming Yong message me yesterday to initiate a meet up for lunch, he said, ‘Just realised I haven’t really meet you since I got back!‘

Which explains why I was at Jurong Point a few hours ago! I’m surprised to learn that there’s a minor change to the bus route of 180. It goes by a new route now and eventually stopping at the new Bus Interchange, which is inside the shoping center itself. For a moment, I felt lost. I mean, usually lost will usually tags along with new, ain’t it?

I was 5 minutes late and since my Blackberry didn’t vibrate from either an incoming call or incoming sms. I took it as a sign that MY hasn’t reach yet! I dropped him the usual, ‘Dude, You reached?’ ( I’m saving my free 100 minutes of local outgoing talk time to my girlfriend can? ) sms and head to the Gents for a leak.

… ( Who am I trying to kid with that anyway? )

And I bumped into him in there!

What a coincidence!

Of all places!

And he had bought me a bottle opener…

IN THE SHAPE OF A FUCKING PENIS!!!

Literally, I don’t mean FUCKING as in FUCKING!

I almost fainted when he said, “Must use it!”

I was like, Okay! -_-”

At the same time, he passed me the X-mas Gift from Huiping and Angelia. Huiping thought that chances of him and I meeting up will be more, since we are good friends. Instead, I see more of Huiping instead of MY.

You know you are old when your appetite isn’t the same as before. A Family Feast from KFC suddenly seems alot to us. Have to go for Bargain Deal for the next time.

Of all the 11 course mates from Modified Spec Course, it’s only down to him and me who really does meet up.

Also, I’d classified him as my good friend who has the foul-est mouth but kind-est heart. Foul-est mouth as in he can be a quite a bitch with his words. Haha but, I’m not offended. Coz I always thought that’s the fun of friendship. Passing snide and sarcastic remarks at each other and enjoying a good laugh out of it. And I’m glad I have more than one of such friends! Something which I’m really thankful for.

Kind-est heart, coz he’s really a good person with a great heart.

When I told him this, he went into a convulsion and asked whether should he take that as a compliment or a sarcastic remark.

Haha whatever.

I’m surprised to see a new Adrian Mole’s diary out on the bookshelf in Harris. Have to drop by the library tomorrow to try my luck!

still can’t find my shoe rack~

Went to Ikea today, in hope of getting a shoe rack. I didn’t managed to get that shoe rack, instead I burnt a hole in my pocket by buying a pair of shoes from Pedro and a shirt in G2000. What is it with me and my shopping problem?

Just yesterday, I bought a new ( Gym ) bag. At least all my purchase are justifiable. I need new work shirt, a gym bag and a new pair of work shoes.

…

…

Or am I just looking for reasons to make me feel less guilty about splurging like a rich spoilt brat ( You get poor spoilt brat too! )

I need to stop shopping!!!

Casual Chat with Lisa

Bumped into Lisa in the pantry today!

I used to be in her team, that was before I was transferred over to Collection. I remembered how hard she’d tried to fight for me to remain in her team, till the Collection Manager said, “You can take your Kee Lin back!” That’s of course in a joking manner.

After the so many changes at work, she was also transferred to a newly set up department. Still, whenever I encounter very difficult case which requires exceptional handling. If my manager isn’t available, I will seek Lisa for advise.

She has been working in M1 for 10 years now. A very experienced customer service officer, who never failed to provide great solution. She has a way to appease an angry customer. You know? Those bang table, throw chair kind?

Though we are kind of seperated in a sense, still we will do a bit of catching up now and then. And I thought that it will be nice to inform her that I’d resigned, therefore, I sent an email to inform her, at work yesterday.

She replied, ‘Yes I know already! And I had to hear it from other people!”

OOOPS!

I explained that I would have told her earlier as she was on leave when I tendered. After which, I went for my Hong Kong trip and it wasn’t till yesterday that I got to see her. Beside, isn’t it kind of rude to drop someone a ‘goodbye’ kind of email when he/she isn’t around?

….

Or was I thinking too much!

Anyway, we did bumped into each other in the Pantry today. I asked her whether will she be around in the office on my last day as I intend to bring along a camera, to take pictures with those who’d made my 2 years stay in M1 memorable.

She said, ” I don’t want! I don’t want to take photos in the office!”

“Well… we always go to the Cafeteria!”

She opened her mouth, closed it, then opened again, “Yar! Trying to be funny right? Kee Lin!”

“Haha anyway, are you serious when you mentioned that you intend to stay in M1 and grow old?” I asked. Naturally, when you’d tendered, you will just ask people when is their turn. And Lisa told me about that intention.

“No lah! I…”

“Hold on a second! You have already grown old with M1!” I interrupted. Which is pretty true. She joined M1 when she was 23. That’s like so my age when I first joined 2 years back.

And she gave me a look for being brutally right!

Somemore of HK

I forget to touch on clubbing at LKF.

We settled down at one of the pubs which ironically is call, Club 97 ( Don’t ask why, I ain’t the vaguest clue too! ). They served the best drinks. Both Sharon and I ordered a glass of Long Island Tea each, Genki had a Lychee Martini, while Mike went for a pint or Hoegaarden.

Their L.I.T and Lychee Martinis are very strong, and not in a disgusting way! It was worth money which we had coughed out. When Mike said that the Hoegaarden tasted different, in a very good way, I raised my eyebrow! I mean, shouldn’t they taste the same since it comes out from the same brewery??? I took a sip and found a piece of heaven in it.

You know how smooth and friendly the taste of Hoegaarden is already. Think smoother and friendlier!!!

Choice of music is great initially. Mostly Hip-Hops + R&B. However the DJ started spinning Trance when the clock hand struch 11pm. I tend to have 2 left legs when it comes to Trance! How do you even dance to the beat or is there even a beat to begin with in the first place???

This was taken after Mike was almost 3/4 into his Pint of Hoegaarden. He has a very low tolerance for alcohol. He suddenly took his glass, walked over to the bar counter, struck a pose and asked Sharon to take a picture of him. Afterwhich, he get his butt on the sofa for another round of cam-whoring session. I’d to join him. Haha…

The waitresses are quite friendly. I heard that rarely will you get a smile from a service personnel in Hong Kong. I guess you can’t really trust what the others says but to go through the experience yourself. As I was saying, the waitresses are quite friendly, greeting you with a warm smile.

One of them were walking pass our tables and offered to help us take a picture. We don’t even have to ask.

Good service, with great drinks and the right kind of music. I will want to visit LKF again next time.

Must do it when I’m still young!

Let us be honest and face the hard fact of life. Everyone will reach a point of time in their life when they can’t really dance anymore. Better do it when I’m still young and can still grind. Haha…

Beside, it will be quite a sight to see a 40 year old grinding in a pub! Haha…

I like this photo.

I’m glad that I was there with Mike, Sharon and Genki. I enjoyed myself a lot. Doing the lame things with the right people is always fun.

I don’t know… but this seems a bit Da Vinci Code for me. It’s like I’m Robert Langdon running around, searching for a statue, looking for the next clue. Haha…

I can’t remember who was the designer of this statue, either from Portugal or USA.

…

…

Or did I get both countries wrong?

ANYWAY, my point is, this statue is very wrong in 2 ways, a) The lotus petal are closed. Shouldn’t it be open, like it had bloomed or something? b) Somehow, this statue gives me a very Mother Theresa feel…

Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum is fun. I bet if I went with my family, it won’t be as fun. Coz not everyone is that cam-whore-ish. Also, not everyone can come out with lots of creative pose, For most of the shots, I don’t even need to say much and the rest already knows how to pose for that effect. Having the same frequency with your good friends is very important. If not, you may have as well be talking to a wall!

Thankfully, my circle of good friends shares the same (bitchy) frequncy as me. Haha…

The Best TV Shows which I’d watched in Year 2009

邓萃雯 is undeniably one of the best actress in the world. Usually, before watching any show, I’ll tend to read the synopsis first because I feel that it’s best to know what you are getting out of it first in case you get a disappointment.

However, for this show, I did exactly the opposite. I clicked on the first episode ( Yes! I’m did a pirate and watched it online instead ) and never looked back since.

This show went on the win the Best Drama, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress during the TVBI Anniversary Awards ( equivalent to the Singapore Stars Awards just that it’s more exciting as those nominated actor and actress are really top-notch veteran actors whom never failed to deliver ) in 2009.

Who can say no to a show with starring such a great cast? There’s 陳豪, 鄭嘉穎, 佘詩曼 and 楊怡. Not to forget 米雪, 惠英紅 and 關菊英.

宮心計 is a good show, just that it’s not as good as 金枝慾孽. The interaction cum conversation exchanged in between the actors/actresses, in the latter is something to look forward to in almost every episode. Not every episode is nice in the former.

Drop Dead Diva is a very funny show. Margaret Cho has a supporting role in it and I heart her. She’s just such a brilliant and funny actress.

It’s great to see Kathy Chow back on screen. This is the Part 3 of the series. And I didn’t even know it till after watching the first few episode. There’s some flashback scenes in the show and I did some research via Wikipedia.

After which, I finished the whole of Part 3 then with Part 1 and Part 2.

Yes! Not just you! Me too! I still can’t believe that I’m watching and actually, loving, a drama series by Disney. It’s just so High School Musical in some sense. Haha…

This is a comedy. Just sit back, throw your head back with laughter and enjoy. This show really brightens up my day.

And my first camera is actually a Toy Camera!

But I’m loving it =)

Things that you owe and use really does reflect your character and personality, one or or another.

It’s a very ME camera.

The sight of it and you will say, “It must be KL’s”

Cam-Whoring time! Anyone?

Before leaving for our trip, Sharon had already swore that she’ll be having smelly bean curd for 5 days. According to her, one will know that they are approaching the smelly bean curd stall when they start to smell the overwhelming stench of what a choked-up smelly drain will smell like.

Well… This is a breakthrough for me. Come on! Who in the right state of mind will shove something that smelly into their mouth? And p.s. the smelly bean curd don’t appear in your hand just like that. You have to endure the smell, while queuing for it and waiting for that auntie, standing behind the stall, to take your order.

Hats off to those people who sell smelly bean curd for a living! In a way they can take ’shit’s in the bitchy world =)

And Bravo to Xiao Ge who’d helped with the purchase.

Genki was having the famous spicy fishball. I’m down with a bad sore throat, had to give it a pass. Fuck!

I trembled at the sight of Buddha.

I vomited.

I crawled.

And I finally get to see the magnificent sight of Buddha!

Okay! I know I’m lame! I’m just full of shits can?

Took us quite a while to  get this shot! We’d to wait for that strong, chilly wind to start blowing again. Just as we were about to get in the mood, the wind had to stop again. Haha…

Still, we managed, or rather, Genki, managed to capture the perfect shot!

We are going for the ‘braving through the strong wind’ look.

 

Haha I was inspired by 2 of my buddies, Ming Jin and Ming Yong. It was quite fun, in a way.

On the way to L.K.F, we saw this huge poster ad. It’s only in countries like Hong Kong, where you get to see such a huge ad. Sharon and I just had to cross the busy streets ( It’s packed with taxis! Take note! It’s full of vacant taxis! And we rarely get that in Singapore ) to take a shot with it =)
