Mini Updates

05 Oct 2008, Sunday

I've been horribly lazy for the past week!! Urghhh~~~~~ According to my own schedule (in my brain, hehee), was supposed to have completed 2 out of 4 assignments by today (due 10 oct, 13th oct, 20th oct and 07 nov respectively), but as of now, yours monkeyly hasn't even started on any of them yet! Lots of midnight oils this week, i guess... *sigh* i hope i manage to gather enough resolve to work on them though.

This week after work,
Monday - mahjong with Ed, Jol, Kuang and Hongzhi. Was expecting Liting and Zhaorong to come too but they didn't so it was slightly less re nao than i initially expected... Quite fun la!!

Tuesday - Lessons and nothing else

Wednesday holiday - went to Xiaohei Jacelyn's home to do our online quiz, then met Jason (colleague friend) to pass him the photos for our HK trip and finally ended the day at (colleague friend)Alvin's home for mahjong. *Sigh* Originally planned to reach Xiaohei's home at about 12+, meet Jason at 3.15 and Alvin at 4 but i overslept and spent about an hour trying to burn the photos to dvd *noob* so in the end reached Xiaohei's home at about 2+ and told the rest i'd delay our things by about half an hour (decided not to do my quiz yet). When we'd finished with Xiaohei's quiz, i rushed off to meet jason at about 4pm. Very late liao so had to cab to Alvin's home in the end... Very ex!! And i suffered my first major loss in mths, lost $25! + $19 cab fee (rub salt) *ouch*. Aiya , but we played at a higher rate than usual though so actually quite ok hahaa :p i had fun nevertheless!! :)

Thursday - frantically reading through my notes trying to catch up on everything

Friday - Lessons and (finally) did my Online Quiz.... Did well!! ;)

Saturday - Work and mini gathering at Qimei's home... Originally wanted to jio zhaorong jiaying esther etc they all go too but wasn't sure i could go till the day itself so in the end didn't ask. At the end of the day we were talking about many of the fun things we did and went through last time... So funny!!!! ^^

Sunday - Looks at myself and my accomplishments this week - what the hell!! Only read 3 chapters (out of 12 originally planned) and haven't even started on my assgmts... Time to discipline myself!!! *Cane* *Cane* Today must work hard!!!

Mahjong session starts 7pm tmr my friends =_=''' (Wahahaa :p)
Shall write about other things rather than myself when i have more time!!! ;)

Updates!! Sep 2008!! :)

28 Sep 2008, Sunday

WOWWW, i only remembered i had a blog today, since the last time i'd blogged, cos i saw zhaorong's new blog! Then see fishy's complaint, feel so paisay!! cos i'm 3 weeks late to respond!!! :p

End August - can only remember the disappointment with virtuoso concert from NPS. Poor flow of events, playing time almost equivalent set-up time, emcees who are blur like sotong and don't even know which songs are which and didn't even bother to know how to pronounce Mr. Alex's full name before the concert, which suggests they'd done none rehearsals together. I think they should go back to LT26 for their performances la...... This is the first time we've had performer's friends shouting "encore!!" and alumnis echoing "don't want la!". Can imagine how bad the performance was? Hahaa :p Feel so sorry for Xiang Xiang who's improved TREMENDOUSLY!! We were super impressed with her lo... She's exuding such class in her own cello playing and yet the rest of everything was so disappointing.

Very very eventful September 2008 for me!! It started with my Hong Kong trip from 3rd to 7th Sep... Quite a number of complaints about the trip at first but thinking back, was actually quite enjoyable la!! Hong Kong is a nice place to shop and shop...!! ;) Too bad my colleague friends whom i went for the trip with aren't those who really like to take candid photos lo, so my photos are basically alot of self-taken ones. Only ONE group photo amongst my photos... can u imagine that!!?? Hahaa :p Then there were two irritating incidents - one with a rude tourist trying to cut queue and another rude waiter who really sparked an unnamed fury in us. But oh well, Particularly enjoyed my time there doing shopping, playing in macau (the casinos are huge and grand and beautiful!!) and the ocean park.

Hmmm one small follow up from my last blog, was absolutely right about my 2nd batch grpmates! Nice ppl to work with and we're absolutely comfortable working with each other. One of them we outcasted, cos he literally didn't attempt to put in any effort into our work and It's funny, cos xiaohei jacelyn feels more like our 4th grpmate. The other 2 girls Joey and Janet i really *applaud* *applaud* *applaud* them cos they've family and kids to handle, on top of all the work and assignments that we have! ;) Our rapport is such that we all still meet up to do our quiz and assignments together even though we are no longer in any same classes.

After Hong Kong it's assignments assignments assignments all the way and i have come to the end of my first term!! 13th Sep weekend was spent with Saturday on duty from 5.30am till 7pm and Sunday KTV with Joey Janet and Xiaohei + dinner and bowling with Esther Dejun Weiling and Licong. Last week 21st Sep weekend was super tiring with very little sleep for me cos had events plus term 1 assignments due. 21st Sep Saturday, i met up with Joey Janet and Xiaohei to have our video recording done. Originally expected us to finish within 2 hrs but turns out we ALL needed to continue working on our powerpoints and speeches so from 2pm dragged all the way till midnight and then i cheonged home to watch Arsenal match without doing my video recording. It was fun disturbing them during the recording process though!! Hehee :p Slept at close to 4am and woke up about 7am+ on the morning of 22nd Sep sunday to go east coast park for my flight's keep fit morning exercise event. Rollerblade till 11am+, then went Alvin's home for mahjong till 9pm+ then cheong home with Kuang to do my video recording due next day. Haha!! :p Hahahaa damn funny lo the recording process!!!

First we moved one of my tables from my bro's rm to my rm. then we positioned it ON my bed (cos i needed the background). Next, we shifted a shelf or whatever u call it plus a cd rack on top of it for positioning the camera, and stacked chairs and tables to position the laptop right below the camera so i could read my prepared but un-memorised speech. And then i was wearing a shirt on top and looking all formal in the camera but wearing only shorts underneath... Hahaa!!! :p

Then there were all the NGs we had... One of which i will never ever forget because out of the 19 slides of speech i had prepared, i was already going into number 16th when... *water flushing sound from toilet* ... (Heng continues to speak for 3 - 4 seconds then... Bursts out laughing!!!) JI DAN!!! NG for nothing!!!!!!!! Imagine the lecturer looking and listening to the video and hearing the flushing sound!! Luckily no such things in my final recording lo!!!

Ended the recording and my day at about 3am+ feeling super tired and i had wake up at 5+ to go to work cos i'd specially asked my colleague to let me do his duty for monday so i could go for and leave work early to go submit my assignment in hard copy cd. Less than 3hrs sleep/night for consecutive 2 days!!! And of course also little sleep on the days before that though not as cham... Abit huo gai la cos i slotted in all the play and socialising despite the amount of work left to be done, Hahaa :p Have to la!!!!! Like i say, family and friends vs learning vs work, family and friends comes first!! ;)

26th Sep 2008, Friday
A typical normal day with lessons at the end of the day. Still, joined Alvin (Airforce colleague friend) and his friends Yingjie, Shan, Jolene & Leonard for KTV... and one of them is super cute!! Would describe her as someone who's got needles in her backside cos she never manages to keep still. One moment she's chitchatting here, the other she's hopped across the room to play and enthusiastically take photos (busily changing poses) with her jiemeis and the next she's gone to the toilet and comes back in with a pose. Hahaa!!!! cute and bubbly lo :p And she is a powerful drinker. And she plays mahjong...!! Perfect!! That's the kind of girl i think guys should go for~!!! Think she would suit Alvin just fine hahaa ;) If i remember correctly i mentioned something about the female version of me in one of my earlier blogs... Here got one la!!! Wahahaa!!! Very nice to know there's still girls like this around!! :)

Now going into the 4th/3rd week of the 2nd term and i am busy like hell with the assignments. Only just managed to finish 2 assignments last Sunday and thursday respectively, and there's another 4 more (2 grp and 2 individual) to finish along the way + exams on the 1st 2 weeks of Nov. Just did another quiz yesterday (27th Sep saturday) with Joey Janet and Xiaohei at Janet's home. So far getting 80s and 90s for my assignments and quizzes so can consider doing quite well bah!! :) Feeling really satisfied with the learning curve and happy with myself so far!!

Updates!! ;)

14 Aug 2008, Thursday

I'm back!! Thanks to sweetie Jin's complain~~~ Hehee :p

Well well~ this goes wayyyyyyy back!!! Missed out on writing soooo many things which i felt alot for, like when Spain won Euro'08, wooooohooooooooooooo!!!!!! That made me so happy because having watched some of their friendly matches BEFORE the tournament started, i'd confidently commented on my support and liking for the playing style of these 2 teams, only to meet condemning retorts from some of my colleagues and friends who'd laughed them off as quarterfinal teams. HAHAA!!! Look who's laughing now~? i do feel sorry for their pockets though (i really do!!!) Alright it's abit silly to start bragging now after the tournament seems so long gone and when all the euphoria and excitement's about the Olympics... So let's move on! ;)

Next, lots of mahjong sessions happenings with many high points to talk about but which i guess i should skip talking about already~ Then of course NPS fellas, we had our Tioman holiday trip and BBQ outing... Uh huh!!!!!! The BBQ!!! Wahahaaaa i'd booked a pit so far from where ppl normally drop off from (Mac) that many of them had to walk 1hr - 2hrs to reach our pit... i got scolding from many of them lo!! PAISAY LA ok hehee only left those few pits and i booked the pits weeksss in advance already!! And wonder whyyyyyyy marcus and jinwen (and maybe many others) seriously thought i was bluffing when i told them we'd have 20++ ppl joining us... Wah lau!!! BUT what's really worth mentioning was the preparations... Was really proud of the food i'd prepared (alone!!)!! Especially the "mixed satay", damn nice!! Planned and bought and marinated all the food myself with some help from mum, and of course Hongzhi and Liting help me with the "mixed-combo satay" comprising of sausages pineapples cuttlefish balls prawn balls qingjiao mini-tomatoes etc, which was really really really nice looking and delicious as well!!! Those satays made me really really really proud lo! hahaa ^^v Yeah and there's the mushrooms and pork (oops! not halal!) and etc as well!

Yup, up next... school's started again for me! So far, my classes have been really interesting and fulfilling... Quite tiring with work and lessons plus projects but still fun nonetheless! And i've still managed to continue with my occasional mahjong sessions somehow~ hahaa!! :p

Just met my new 2nd project teammates of 4 for the first time today (we formed up online via discussion board + email) and i'm really really glad to find that they're all jovial, chitty chatty and nice ppl!! Abit sayang la cos today there was another 2 girls who needed 2 people to join them and they were quite cute and pretty~ But i think i've found the most suitable teammates la!!! Think will have fun doing project with them lo ;)

Hmmm i've still missed out alot, but stop here for now bah!! :)

小小 updates June08 :)

23 June 2008, Monday

WOWWW!!!!!!!!!! i haven't written for the whole month???? Wahahaa~ Didn't realise tat sia~ :p

Ok~ thinking back now it's not really surprising cos basically i've been up to almost nothing at all this month!! So nothing really worth updating, hehee :p I'm living like a hermit cos of 2 reasons!!!! Lots of my friends were having or had exams coming up from mid-May till mid-June, so instead of activities outside, i decided to pepper my life with indoor activities like reading and watching tv. I bought 3 sets of chinese novels at one go la!! So stayed home alot or sometimes went downstairs for some suntan while reading. Luckily for me, pleasurable distraction soon came in the form of.... EURO2008!!!!!! Wooohoooooooo~!! I watched almost every single match!!!! And this year's EURO2008 has been quite satisfying and enjoyable to watch so far, save for a few boring matches like France vs Romania, the teams either played breathtaking football or, in the case of some matches, the underdogs fought hard and there were plenty of goalmouth action or, some games had more unexpected twists and turns than 3 movies added up! Really entertaining stuff!! ;)

Last weekend was the most satisfying i've had for weeks. Met up with a total of 18 follow ex-NPS fellas on saturday la!!! Started the day having bread and tea while waiting for the first batch of KTVers @ Marina Square GV cinemas. Supposedly, we wanted to get our movie tickets before singing klunch so that we could watch the movie directly after tat but...... I'm the only one who arrived early!!!!!!!! Wah lau~!! The world is turning upsode down!! Hahahaa... Wah~ Buay tahan lo~~~ Seeing as it was already 11am, i abandoned the cinemas to queue up at kbox instead while waiting for the rest. Wowww ppl singing klunch is ALOT. The queue is like the taxis at Changi airport!! Ok i'm exaggerating abit, but tat's the idea la, hahaa :p So sang k with Hongzhi Liting Sio Marcus Yuhang Peiyu Jianqi and Dejun for the next 3 hrs and it was very shiok~ While we were singing i cancelled the planned Evening activity @ East Coast for the movie instead cos not everyone of us were keen on the idea. After kbox, hanged around the shopping centre while waiting for the rest to join us. For the record, those who joined us later were Zhaorong Jiaying Yueying Kelvin Edward Jolene Weiling Licong and Jonathan. After the movie we had supper together and that was it for the day with them... So nice meeting everyone again lo!! ;)

After supper, went home, washed up and waited for Edward to come a visiting. We watched the EURO2008 quarter-finals together! ARGHHHHHH to think that the 1 of 2 teams that i supported since before the tournaments didn't perform up to expectations and crashed horribly out of the competition... Holland!!!!! Wah lauuuu~~~~ why u like that~~~~ *Heng flips flips and dies on the floor for a few mins after writing the above* So disappointing lo........ But Russia played great attacking football so i guess they're worthy successors to the "attacking team to advance" tag. Still, i'd wish for my team 2 of 2 - Spain - to put the last of the bullets in that Russian Roulette back in the heads of the Russian team!! Hahaa :p Having said tat, if the Russians continue to play so attractively it'll be against my principle to not support them all the way... Pity that so many pure attacking-styled teams were grouped such that they had to meet so early in the tournaments lo.

After the match, Ed went off and i continued watching tv till about 7am... then went to sleep till 11+. Met up with Ed again at lakeside MRT at 12noon, then with Peiyu and Jianqi @ Causeway Point at 12.30pm. We had lunch and then..... MAHJONG~!!!! Wahahaaa~ So shiok to touch the Mahjong tiles again after a few weeks!!! Absolute Adrenaline rush lo~~ Was the sole winner for the first round but almost didn't win at all for the 2nd. Ended the day with about $38 for winnings~ compensation for the other times tat i lost! Haha :p

Shiok Weekend!!!! Before i end...
I'm planning a BBQ on 5th July!!!!!!!! ;)

19 April 2008, Monday

Was having another mahjong session with Edward & Co. at Jolene's home when Sheena reminded me that i haven't blogged for ages.... Basically didn't come online much in recent months and especially for the past 2 weeks cos both my brothers have been vying for the use of my laptop all the time... didn't want to 上演 三國演義 at home la~!!! Hehee :p

Hmmm, start from 03 May bah. Tat day, went to East coast with NPS fellas for skating/cycling... Sio is back!!! ;) Sounds good huh... probably should organise a bbq soon, hehe.

04 May - Mahjonging again, at Sheena's home. Just Jianqi Peiyu Sheena and me, played till about 7pm, then cheong-ed home to watch soccer.

05 May to 09 May after work - practised guitar lots lots!! ktv on wednesday with my colleague-friends, and mahjong on thurs.

10 May - Mahjong with Ed Jol and Jianqi @ Jol's home... Last min arrangement!!! Hahaa~ Changed a dripping tap in my bathroom to a new one... Took me just about all of 10 or 15mins to gather the tools required and finish the job, and to think mum almost wanted to employ someone to do it!! It not only pays to have a lame son for a few occasional laughs... but also a handyman one~~ My mum is lucky!! I'm both!!!! Wahahaa~~~ :p

11 May - stayed home and started reading one of my old chinese novels again... Watch soccer at night... very last of the season's English Premier League matches!!

12 May to 16 May - On noon shift duty in base everyday from 3pm to 12midnight/when airfield closes... still managed to go for skating on thurs night with my colleague friends cos was released from duty early!!! Had an adhoc-ed dinner cum supper with Wanling on Friday too, hahaa :) Always enjoy having nice little chats with my close friends! I've stopped practising guitar though... Wah lau~

17 May - Tried to organise another adhoc mahjong session but failed... played abit of soccer instead

18 May - Mahjong at Jol's home with Ed Jol Jianqi Peiyu Sheena and later J.Poh... Played till midnight then went for a little run + chin ups + sit ups + push ups... Got a couple giggling at me at the fitness corner!! Wah lau!!! Then washed up and went to bed... Slept like a pig after tat!!! ;)

19 May - Today!!! Feels like a Sunday man... Originally wanted to go East coast for some light skating and sun-tanning but woke up quite late so decided to finish reading my chinese novel instead... So went downstairs for sun-tan while reading it... 1 stone 2 birds~ i'm slightly darker now!! YAY!!! :)


Anyway, i happened to come across this story just now, think it's a rather good one... Read!! :)

A Lesson on Bad Temper

There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.

When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out, it won't matter how many times you say 'I'm sorry,' the wound is still there.

A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

Contented :)

02 May 2008, Friday

Feeling very contented now!! Haven't felt so contented for ages le!! Hahaa

Yesterday, invited Kuang, Wanling, and 2 of my colleague friends Alvin & Jimmy to my home for mahjong. Was supposed to start at 11am but Jimmy reached a little earlier than 10am, so we went to dabao brunch to my home to satisfy our stomachs before the game. I had yummy roti pratas and tou huay and tou huay zhui!! :) Jimmy was commenting happily about having a big "cai tao"(wanling) to "tok"... But end up... ... ... Wanling won a total of $50 from us at the end of the day la!!!!!!!!!! Wahahaaa~~~ Clown la this Jimmy!!!! :p

Basically was a typical fun mahjong day for me, but with an extra whiff of warmth than usual cos Mum was sooooo happy to have Wanling visiting us. Hahaa aiyooo~ but can't blame her la, she has absolutely adored Wanling since day 1!! Yours monkeyly me myself earned some cold hard stares from mum *shing!! Shing!!!* when Wanling (who insisted on doing the dishes despite mum protesting and trying to coax & drag her away from the wash basin) was doing the dishes after our meals... Hey!! You're not supposed to do the dishes!! Hahaa :p But thanks for being so nice :)

Feels great to have my best friends visiting, especially Kuang and Wanling, cos mum's always particularly warm & nice to them!!! Drop by more often u 2!!!!! Hehee :)

Today at work, was also an enjoyable day. Can't really remember the details... Only remember we all laughing throughout the day for some small little silly funny things here and there la. After 2 days such as yesterday and today, and tmr being saturday (Planned!!! Skating at East Coast!! And Mahjong on Sunday!!!!), who can blame me for feeling so happy and contented now lei???? Hahaa :)

BUT!!! From experiences, big "storms" normally awaits after having this kind of contented feeling... So better not wallow myself in this happy feeling...... Ya? ;)

End here for today~

21 April 2008, Monday

I hope my friends aren't getting me wrong, while i'm so-called re-motivated once again to dating and relationships after so long, i'm not horribly desperate to be in one lei! Hehee :) Let nature take its course lo~ my chance could come when school starts for me again in July when i get to know new faces, i guess, so in the meantime i'm not particularly fussed over any of these issues... In any case, who knows, i might end up being single all my life and that's no big deal, cos i'll have all of u with me thru my life anyway(i hope la)! Wahahaaa~ ;)

Had a boooooooorrrrrrrrrrrriiiing weekend over the last few days... Stayed home for both days... Yucky yucky~

Saturday - was supposed to be meeting some of my friends for movies somewhere west side but then the venue, people attending & time wasn't confirmed all the way till the whole thing was cancelled... =_=''' everybody thought somebody else was supposed to organise!!! Wahahaaa how dumb~~~ Should've met other friends for their bbq la~ Too bad one event's in the east and the other was (supposedly) in the west!! I guess it was my destiny to stay home and watch Arsenal TRAMPLE Reading to pieces in a not-so-significant-anymore premier league match... But Brilliant!!! How nice to see Arsenal playing that kind of exciting football again!! Really pleased la!!! :)

Sunday - continued reading (started reading on and off from a weekday) from one of my brother's old Reader's Digest Special Editions book. As each of these books consists of 4 stories specially selected and edited by Reader's Digest, I wonder if it's pure coincidence, or god's will, or whatever... I just happened to start on the 2nd story of this book right after finishing my last blog last friday. Title's "Then Came Heaven". The story starts in this small religious town... A (near perfect) woman dies leaving her husband and kids, and in the end he finds love again, kind-of thru god's will (as the story supposedly implies). Lovely little story :) I think god wants me to fall in love again, hehee :p Aiyo look at me... this is not something to be "hehee"ed about. Whoever's reading this, forget this paragraph and refer back to the first!! ;)

Hope to have a better & more exciting "next weekend" though!!! ^~^

18 April 2008, Friday

Just took my IPPT for this year on Thursday. Did quite well considering the only exercise i've had for the past 1 or 2 mths was a little light running last thursday midnight - clocked 10min 46s for 2.4km run. Aiya should've been abit more serious so that maybe can get gold... only need to clock under 10mins to achieve that (Cat Y!!!) Hahaa :p Wasn't expecting tat kind of timing due to lack of training so didn't piah at all. But still, can't help feeling that age is catching up with me, cos 10yrs ago could always easily complete that distance in just a little over 9mins. I should exercise more, waahaaa~ 27 le!!!

Recently, things seem to be getting a little plain for me~ plain as in 很平淡 la!
Weekdays after work - wash up, have dinner, switch on tv, becomes couch potato till sleep.. Or sometimes might stay back to play pool in our mess with my colleagues friends before carrying out the above mentioned routine. I really miss playing soccer, but abit difficult to find ka nowadays

Weekends abit more satisfying~ Normally would meet friends for mahjong or sing k or watch movies. But starting to get bored with that too cos becoming quite a routine... Though it's hard to say mahjong is not fun la!! Wahahaa~

Would still prefer to be doing a little something different sometimes though~ Was chatting about this with my colleague friend and he reckons it's high time for me to get myself a gf... Yupz dating again sounds nice, any nicey girls wanna intro me anybody? Wat kind of girls i like lei... Hmm... in terms of appearance, petite and cute (but not too small la). Other things lei~ Prefer someone really Lively, active, playful, talkative, considerate, a little bit 撒嬌ish sometimes, cheerful and... smart!! Wahahaa :p The "can laugh loudly anywhere" and expressive type la! Basically quite the female version of myself huh, Hahahahaaa :D 老王買瓜~ And Yea no kidding i like really smart girls!! Talk like real huh but where to find such nice girls who are still single & unattached lo wahahaa~ I think i'm being too picky!! (^-^)

Still, no chemistry = no relationship!! ('-^)

BUT in case any of u out there knows someone like this... intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me intro me wahahaaa :p

Ok besides getting more interested in relationships again after 1 and 1/2 years there's something else on my mind that's really important to me... I WANNA LEARN HOW TO SPEAK CANTONESE!!! Wonder how best i can learn it lei? Anybody wanna teach me? Hahaa ;)

Ok shall stop writing here for today!! :)

Missing grandpapa Alex Abi~

31 March 2008

Awww~ Cowy u make me miss Alex so much.
For all NPS guitarists, if you haven't already read it yourself
http://stupid_cowy_02.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Only NPS guitarists would understand, la, i think :)

-----------------------------------------------------------
Mr Alex
I wish for your good health
I thank god for letting me meet you at some point of my life
because we once crossed paths but nvr met at that time

I thank you for the love and passion for music that you have in such abundance
for the love and passion in music that you have opened our hearts to
for all the different kinds of music and detail that you had taught us to appreciate
and for all the magical pleasures of playing and listening to music, that you had shared with us...

Earlier today, I read a cow's blog about you
i closed my eyes in search of hidden memories
i remembered, i saw,
this old man sitting in front of us behind a desk
this talkative man, reminiscing his past to us
or talking about the origin of a piece of music
or looking at a music score, clapping his hands in rhythm
and singing "di di di di~" when conducting us
laughing heartily with pleasure whenever we manage to play a particularly enjoyable song

i remember us amused, laughing, while this indian old man
wearing colourful socks with musical notes imprints
thrilled us and played songs like "月亮代表我的心" to our amazement

I remember this old man we all respect so much
with his eyes closed, in hard concentration, playing the guitar
while the rest of us, we sat listening, eyes on him
pleasantly surprised at the music we were hearing from him
our hearts filled with admiration, sometimes in awe, sometimes disbelieve, thrilled, enthralled
looking at one another, and thinking
"this song can be expressed like that?! Wow!!"

I remember myself learning all the guitar parts for our practice songs
suddenly i could appreciate what every guitar part had to offer to a piece of music
then i sat in his position
and conducted group practices when he was not around
proclaiming myself as "Hengbisheganaden"
i could feel my every cell in sync with each vibration of the music
i sang or played or clapped along while the rest played their parts
i talked crap and joked with the rest
and i really enjoyed myself!
And all that, i learned from you

For all those happy memories
for all the pleasures and magic of music we had learned to appreciate from you
for the everlasting love and passion for music that you have instilled in us
for all the warmth and happiness you had given me, given us
for every single note of music we had learnt to express from our hearts the way u do
and for being my music santa claus
With all my heart, i wish to say

THANK YOU
We love you, Grandpapa music-santa ;)

The Leap Years

22 Mar 2008

Watched this movie today!! Some say it's quite ok only, some say it's really nice. Hmm~ i think it's really nice!! I guess it's nice for people who's really sensitive and sentimental ba~ waahaaa~ :)

First thing i wanna mention about the movie is... the part where they said something like "it takes a lot of courage to stay single for so long waiting for the right person to come along and not get into a relationship for the sake of getting into one". Not sure what's the exact phrase, but remember myself mentioning this same theory to someone or some people quite some time back!! Few months ago ba... can't really remember when or who but i definitely definitely had mentioned it before... Hahaa~ These words are so true!!

Feb 29th... what an extraordinary day it is~ feels even more so to me as i've learnt about the culture of the "having to accept a girl's proposal" much earlier on, before i watched the movie. The version i heard of is not merely a fine, but "bad luck for 4 years" if you dun accept the proposal though!!! Much more scary huh~~~ Wahahaa :p

What do i like about the movie ne...? The parts with Li Ann and her mum... Speaking in a mixture of cantonese and english. These scenes emit so much natural warmth and bond between mother and daughter...... The scenes where Li Ann was with her gal pals...... So funny and heartwarming!!! ^^ And also the last part where KS was reading Jeremy's letter... Touching!! Some people say the plot is really predictable... But still, i really like the movie cos there so many scenes which really touched my heart. Like i say... A movie for the sentimental people la!!! ;)

Half thinking i might get the DVD for keeps and maybe after re-watching it, edit this post to make it a much more justifiable one for this movie!! :)

I really wish that i'd watched the movie earlier on as previously planned with u should know who u are earlier on though

"O ........... K"

Irritating day today :s

15 Mar 2008, Saturday

Originally, post number 99 was meant to be more sentimental, lots about my memories. The past few rainy days had brought back so many memories and sentimental feelings to my mind and heart. I wanted to write about how much i missed some people, how much i wish to wake up one morning finding myself in those times again... How much i loved those times and people. Alas!! It was not to be!!!! BECAUSE OF TODAY!!!!!

Was actually looking forward to today since last week...
Originally plans for today:
12noon - 6pm --> Mahjong with colleagues
7.30pm - 9.30pm --> NTU Guitar Concert with NPS fellas
11pm - whatever time --> KTV with NPS fellas

Whole day of fun planned!! Had found myself in a super good mood since wednesday.
Who knows, who knows who knows... Something happen yesterday and we had to work OT, and also go back to work today. Originally was forecasted that we'd only need to work till about lunchtime... BUT!!!! Who knows who knows who knows who knows who knows...... We were told to wait for a sample to reach us for some testing, waited and waited and waited and waited and waited for the whole day long, waited till i had to give the concert a miss. Called some of the NPS ppl to see if i could give them my ticket, but those who wanted to go had all already bought their tickets!!! Sigh~ wasted.

7:45pm
Just when i thought things couldn't get any worse, we received a phone call from the other workcentre informing us that they couldn't send us the sample today anymore as they'd discovered another problem. WTF!!!!!!! Means all that wasted time and wasted ticket and wasted fun ALL for nothing!!! Sibeh dulan... But also bobian, cheong home to bath and have dinner and wait for kuang they all to call me after the concert see where we going. Can still go ktv!! :)

9pm
Finished dinner, washing up and changing. Read newspaper, played handphone games, watched abit of tv... ... ... Looked up to see the time 10pm++... ??? How come no news from them yet sia... Thought the concert ends 9.30pm? So smsed them, after which, received their call telling me they were waiting for sheena. More ????? appear in my head... Huh? Was thinking can go sing first mah, since night ktv normally starts 11 or 11.30pm. So said ok, once ready to go, call me. But after hanging up the phone suddenly feel very tired from today's work and abit of frustration..... More waiting, after all the waiting in the day. REALLY!! Know whatever happened today was not anybody's fault.. but really cannot tahan liao. Aiyah dun want to wait liao la~

Stay home instead to watch Arsenal vs Middlesbrough!!, Hahaa :p

Suay like shit today la
God damn it
Allah Damn it
Guan Yin Niang Niang damn it

I still wish i'd written something more sentimental and meaningful for post number 99

We've gone into the last day of CNY as i'm writing now, the past 2 weeks were really enjoyable and eventful! All the visits to homes of my friends, yours as well, and i had NPS fellas visiting my home too.. All the mahjong-ing and "tuan-yuan-ing" and noise!! Really love tat feeling... Hahaa! And guess what? I'd actually bought myself a set of mahjong and mahjong table last weekend and i'm still feeling happy about it now, hahaha~

Then at work, there's all the New Year celebrations and dinners and toto Angpaos and stuff... And i went for this Outstanding Serviceman of the Year award that i was nominated to get interviewed for... I didn't manage to win the award though!! Probably am just the worst of the best, hahahaa :p

I also managed to get free tickets to a preview of an airshow, that's planes doing flying stunts formations and stuff, it was quite nice but sadly due to weather they didn't appear to have done a full-fledged performance.. Pity la!! So many things of the past 2 weeks on my mind now!! Gotta stop writing now though cos soccer match's gonna start in a moment, Make sure you write back with a nice long account of your life there huh!!! Waahaaa~ :p

Keep in touch!! ^^
Yours Monkeyly!! :)

Recovery Time~!!

21 Jan 2008, Monday

HahA~!! Finally decided to post an update after 10 days of my Lasik Surgery!!

I have PERFECT EYESIGHT now!!! (i think so la) YAY!!! :)

no more speckies~

no more contact lenses~

no more dry eyes!!! :)

Went for my lasik for both my eyes on 11th Jan 08, which is last last fri from date of this post. Was rather excited about it for over 2 weeks before the op~ Have suffered quite abit though!!

About my surgery (epi-lasik), it lasts less than 5 mins for each eye. First the doc uses some fluid to numb the eye abit, then asks to focus at a red light, uses something to suck up the cornea (i think) where everything goes black for a while. From here, machine takes over and eyesight correction was done with the laser burning off a portion of the cornea above the eye pupil, 3 phases of burning from which i could smell chaotah (burnt) smell. After that the doc removes the dead skin and flushes the eye and puts on a bandage lense (just some kind of contact lens la) to protect the eye. Tadah!! Same procedure is then repeated for the other eye~ After tat, the assistant sticks another ugly protective cover over my eyes... URGHHH~~~

After the surgery, straight away took cab home where everything looked bright and was abit difficult to open the eyes.

Day 1 (Fri)

Reached home from the surgery. Vision still abit blur... Arghh~~ Not much pain though~ Troublesome though~ Have to drip sterilising eyedrops every 3hrs to prevent infection for first week, every 4hrs for 2nd week onwards for a month. Here's how i looked with my protective cover!!

Had to wear this thing for the whole day on fri!!! And also before sleep every night for the first week before!! WAH LAU

Day 2 Saturday
Ouch~ Ouch~~ Woke up with clearer vision but everything still looks bright and my eyes are abit pain. Not easy to keep eyes open. Took cab to my eye clinic for my first eye evaluation and kenna shoot by doc for not using the lubricating drops. WAH LAU the label says "use when necessary" only mah~~~ After tat, cab back home again... Must avoid crowds so bobian... Gotta stay away from all kinds of smoke la fumes la E.G. cigarette smoke car exhaust fumes and even perfumes which can cause infection to the recovering eyes. Bored for whole day~~ Can't watch tv, can't use computer, can't read. Played guitar for a while... Got bored really quickly!! So..... Hahaa~ aiya heck~ put on my sunglasses and started watching tv and using my laptop in the evening. Watch soccer with much difficulty cos eyes starting to feel more pain.

Deciding to stick my protective cover in another way instead~

Day 3, Sunday
OUCH OUCH OUCH~~~ Immediately regret watching tv and etc the day before cos eyes super pain. OUUUCCCHHHHH!!!!! Whole day of suffering~~~ But still too bored... So read books for the whole day.

Day4, Monday
Aiyo eyes still blur... how how how
Continue reading for whole day~ Hahaa

Day 5, Tuesday
Eyes still blur, reckon it might be because of the bandage lenses. Woohooo0~ Going to have them removed next day... Looking forward to clear vision after tat!!

Day 6, Wedesday
Took Bus 502 to eye clinic this time... Had bandage lenses removed (Burning sensation!) and...
Eyes still blur blur... Siao Liao!!! =_='''
Still read books whole day too anyway

Day 7, Thursday
Back to work with eyes still abit blur~ Quite a relak day but sianz~~ Start watching tv programmes again lo~~ Yippee~~~ :)

Day 8, Friday
Woohooo0~!!!!!! Clear Eyesight!!!!! ^^
Watch TV programmes!! Yay~
No more wearing of protective cover at all!!! YAY~!!!

Day 9, Saturday
Played mahjong at colleague's home then met Kuang Qimei Zhaorong Xiaohei at Jurong Point where we had a really nice time reliving nice memories and suaning Xiaohei~ Hahaa!! :)

Day 10, Sunday
Rested home whole day and... Read books!!!
Become habit liao!!! =.='''

Eyesight still great!! :)

Made 3 Birthday Wishes on my Birthday last month... Here's the first one came true!! ;)

Bye Bye Specs~ Bye Bye contact lenses!!! :)

10 Jan 2008, Thursday

Going for my Lasik Surgery tmr!! So soooo looking forward to it.... Hope nothing goes wrong!! In the meantime i'm practising throwing my specs away after the surgery *fling fling my specs* ... Hahaha~ :p No la~ on 2nd thoughts, maybe keep as souvenir~

Come to think of it, have been wearing specs since i was in Primary One... That means i have worn specs for 20 years alrdy!!!

One last Ah Wang pic with my specs on~!!! ^^

Bye Bye Specky~ I won't miss you~~~ Hahaa :p


Oh by the way, anybody using -4.50 or -4.75 or -5.25 contact lenses? Cos I've still got quite a number of those dailies left... So can get them from me!! Just drop me a msg if you want them ok!! :)

Happy X'mas!! ;)

26 Dec 2007, Wednesday

Had a really Happy X'mas this year! ;)

Original Plan for X'mas Eve:
0800 - 1300hrs - Work
1300 - 1400hrs - wash up, prepare to go out
1400 - 1900hrs - shop for gifts
1900 - 2100hrs - meet NPS fellas
2100 - Morning - play mahjong wif Kuang's colleagues
Christmas day - Sentosa with NPS fellas

Didn't quite turn out the way i'd planned at all!!

Worked half day on X'mas Eve... supposedly should be quite a relaxing day at work, but who knows, some auditors decided to come visiting our section on this day, so was actually quite a nervous morning~ Great that everything turned out well though!

After work, rushed home... Was still feeling tired from last weekend's "2 day Mahjong tour" at sheena's, so ended up succumbing to the temptation of having a short nap instead of going for some last min X'mas shopping to get some pressies for the guys/gals. Arghhh~~~ Didn't get anything for them... *guilty*. I got some nice pressies from some really sweet people this month!! For my birthday and for X'mas, great haul~!! *feeling more guilty*

After napping for about 2 hrs, i dragged myself out of bed, had a gooood looooong bath, then set off to meet NPS fellas for dinner. To which i found out, they'd changed plans! So instead of having dinner first, we went to Settler's Cafe directly... Arghhh~~~ Hungry man = X'mas eve Heng!! The only things i'd eaten for tat day... nasi lemak for breakfast followed by the little things served at Settler's. No more... Thinking of it makes me hungry now!! (Grabs Cheese Steak burger bought earlier on at Subway *munch* Yummy~)

At Settlers, we played a few games before i decided to intro them a game called "Citadels". I have this game at home!! Bought it after coming across it months ago... Really nice game and they all loved it too!! And i can never forget the round where sheena Licong and me got fed up with the "King" and sent out threats to anyone who dared to choose the character for the next round... Laughed like hell when everyone didn't dare to choose the character after tat!!! Muahaha :p Ended up we all decided to go home grab our stuff to meet up at Sheena's home for further gaming and before going to Sentosa together to meet the rest next morning, Haha!! :p

Nothing much to mention for the rest of the night... Gaming all the way la! :) Budden there goes my X'mas Eve Mahjong too~ Hahaa :p And NPS girls are all sweet~ They all made stuff like cookies muffins and cakes for us to eat. But one thing i really wanna mention.... I am in love with Esther's Tiramisu Cake!!!!! She brought some which she'd made, and WAH WOW OOOOO~ it was so nice... Too bad there wasn't much of it to eat!! Esther had to stop me from finishing it up before the others had a chance to taste it lor~ Muahaha :p Was really impressed!! Hmm~ Girls, u all should listen to this, I Think, one of the best ways to a guy's heart is ... through his stomach!! ^^

*Thinks longingly of Tiramisu cake* ...... sigh~~~~
**Munches on Cheese Steak Burger again**
Yummy~~~

Next thing that shouldn't be missed.... Sheena's Corn bread dance!! At one point of the game, we were happily eating Corn Bread and we were high for watever reasons we don't know. We sang and did some hand-dancing with the corn bread, asking people whether they wanted to have one too? Hahahaa~ So fun!!!

X'mas day

0600+ Finished playing "Citadels"... Cleared up everything before some of us went to sleep while the rest of us sat down to chat, view some photos, etc. I stayed up till 8+ then slept for a while till 9++... Sheena and Esther didn't sleep all the way!! Very lihai lor the 2 of them chat then no need to sleep le, Hahaa :p Played and amused ourselves with one of Sheena's presents - a cowy bank which goes mooooooo~ moooooooo~ each time someone drops a coin in, cute huh!! Esther was also really cute, after all the moo-ing when sheena kept the cowy bank back to it's box where only the nose was visible, she still kept looking at the cow's nose with much interest, hahaa~!! Funny~ Finally washed up and set off for sentosa at close to 10am. Met the rest of the NPS fellas for lunch and took the skytrain to Sentosa.

Noon
WAH LAU the Sun kept avoiding us on this day, upon reaching Sentosa, it started raining... And so we decided to go to the underwater world first. I wasn't really interested cos doesn't feels like a long time since i last went there, and the memories are still quite vivid... Hahaa...

Next, we went to the beach - wasn't raining anymore but not enough sunlight for suntan either. Most of us decided to fore-go the dolphin lagoon trip... Played beach soccer with the rest of the guys while the girls played Citadels again... and later had fun taking silly photos and videos with Kuang Qimei Liting and Hongzhi... "Lover's reunion", "Kungfu kids", "mahjong legend" Hahaa!!! I anyhow name them de la, but basically that's wat we took for videos~ Thinking back about it... Funny~!!

Evening
Went to wash up at about 7pm and set off to vivo city for dinner. Can't rememeber the name of the fast food restaurant we went to... it has something to do with hotdogs... Hmm~ Nvm, haha :p Chatted and ate till 9+ before we all set off for home... Longing for my bed so much!!! Soooo tired! i slept till morning without waking up a single time at night!!! :)

This X'mas must really give Special thanks to Liting Peiyu Sheena Dejun and Esther!! :) Very Happy with and grateful for all ur little pressies & cards & food & hosting & organising of the whole thing!! Thanks to everyone else too for the fun and company!! Really really enjoyed myself and happy to meet u all!!! ;) So Thanks!!!!

Happy New Year to all ya!!!!!

The most sincere speech i've ever heard...

09 Dec 2007, Sunday

Went for my cousin's wedding dinner last night at The Grand Ballroom at The Pines last night. There, i heard some of the most sincere and touching speeches of my life.

About this cousin of mine, he's probably one of the very very few ppl that i really look up to in my life!! He doesn't come from a really well-to-do family... but he's much much more well brought up than most ppl. Now that i come to think of it, he's probably the prince that all gals dream of meeting... Good looking, well educated and great at sports (violinist and once national representive and 1st for triple jump!!), and more importantly to me (and many others), he truly is the most sincere person i've ever met in my life!

One of the speeches came from a student of his, who spoke briefly of how "Mr. Ho" (my cousin) was the best listener in the world, of how that was all that mattered to him when he was feeling lost and depressed in that phase of his life, and how my cousin helped him discover his talent (That student can sing so well!!! He gave a really nice strum-and-sing performance... definitely a future superstar!!). There and then i couldn't help thinking... what wouldn't i give to have met someone like this during that phase of my life...?

All teachers, lecturers, even school or CCA seniors... Pls bear in mind how much influence you have on other people's life for everything you say or do to them!! It's really a responsibility each and eveyone of us should be aware of alright? :) Many kids are not bad... They just don't know how to, or don't trust you enough yet to open themselves up to you, as was the case during my sec sch. days ... ;) Responsibility is the key word... Remember that you shape other people's lifes and in that sense, the world too!!

Back to the most sincere speech tat i heard, it's nothing much actually... My cousin was talking about the way he was brought up, some of the little things which he appreciated his parents did, and how they helped make him the man he is today. But it was his sincerity in the tone of his speech which touched me most. Words can't really describe tat feeling... Though i'm not Christian, the following words were the ones which touched me most ...

(translated from chinese)
"Today i'm really really happy, because on my wedding day, i finally managed to get papa, mama, to go for (church) service... i really hope to see you 2 there more often, i hope you will know, jesus loves u 2, i love u 2 too"

Don't know what u all think of it... Did you all realise? These words he said, is the greatest and most sincere show of love and filial piety i've ever heard of in words. Because to Christians... If you believe in and embrace god, you go to heaven instead of hell.

To end... Just clarify abit with no offence... I'm not Christian and i'm not trying to promote tat too ok!! Hahaa :p

Gifts~!! ;)

25 Nov 2007, Sunday

Thanks alot huh!! i like it!!! Especially the keychain!! It has my name on it!!! So sweet of u!!!Thankssssssssss you! ;)

Keychain back view

Nice song ... And how very true the lyrics can be

对我好 对我好 好到无路可退
可是我也很想 有个人陪
才不愿把你得罪 一时那么迂回
一时进 一时退 保持安全范围
这个阴谋让我 好惭愧
享受被爱滋味 却不让你想入非非

就让我们虚伪 有感情别浪费
不能相爱的一对 亲爱像两兄妹
爱让我们虚伪 我得到于事无补的安慰
你也得到 模仿爱上一个人的机会
残忍也不失慈悲 这样的关系 你说 多完美

人看你 看着我 看得那么暧昧
被爱爱人原来 一样可悲
为什么竟然防备 别人给我献媚
不能推 不能要 要了怕你误会
让我想起曾经 爱过谁
我所要的他不给 好像小偷一样卑微

就让我们虚伪 有感情别浪费
不能相爱的一对 亲爱两像兄妹
爱让我们虚伪 我得到于事无补的安慰
你也得到 模仿爱上一个人的机会
残忍也不失慈悲 这样的关系 你说 多完美

Enchanted!! ;)

24 Nov 2007, Saturday

Went to watch this movie "Enchanted" with my bosom friend last night... Such a funny show! The chipmunk and the princess-to-be (Giselle ) were both so cute and funny!! Was really amused each time the chipmunk tried to imitate Giselle and whenever the magical and trademark "Ha~aa~aa~aa~aaa~" was used... LOL!! Lovely show!! ;)

"There is a magical quality to true love. It's not without cost or pain and agony. Love comes with sacrifice. You have to love the flaws in the person more than you love the good qualities, and if you can live with the flaws, then you can have true love" - Patrick Dempsey

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bitter-sweetness of it all again ...
Even if it wasn't, and maybe isn't, meant to be
Thank god for 3 days of beautiful moments and feelings relived
For this i am grateful ... :)

i miss my friends!!!!

21 Nov 2007, Wednesday

For my friends who're wondering what i've been up to recently...
OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT OT, OT, OT.... ot............. OT!!!!!! Working even over the weekends!!!

I AM FRIENDSICK!!!!!

So how come i'm here writing? Well...... someone la... asked me how come i stopped writing yesterday.... hao la.... i write i write, hahaa :p

That's all for today though!! ;)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
I lost sleep last night
Things kept coming to my mind
Was it because of the atmosphere at the time..?
Or was it the familiar feeling of walking down the same path with u...
Or was it the look in your eyes...?
Did you feel that way as well......? :)
How I wish you did......
How I wish ...

遇見你們真好

21 October 2007, Sunday

Looking back, this week was full of 感慨 for me!! Met some of my favourite friends, on separate occasions too, and having seen the changes they've had in their life, some quite minimal though quite significant, some considerably different, It all makes me think and feel alot! From their schooling days to working life, things like their new relationships, new friends, new suitors... their current relationship matters... 真的很感慨!! Shall not touch on the details though!! 3 persons which i was particularly glad to meet!! ;) Thank you u all for being the colours in my life! Muacks u all!!

At Alvin's bday gathering last night, somebody intro her bf to us WOR~~ Was really happy for her! The one word that appeared in my heart at the news? "FINALLY!!" Ha ha ha :p Having just arrived seconds earlier than her appearance, and thinking she was joining the gathering, i actually decided to break away from the conversation to look at the menu... By the time i realised, she'd left!! Aiyo no chance to bagua about their course of courtship!! Wasted!! :p

09 Oct 2007, Tuesday

Was it yesterday or the day before yesterday? Can't really remember... Something in me suddenly decided that it should remind me that i'm becoming wiser... OUCH!!! Wasn't that bad till today, where virtually everything that had to do with me moving my mouth became a torture... Arghhh~ <(^~^)>

(Today, at work)
Heng: yawn~ OUCH!!! (carries on with work)

Heng: yawn~ OUCH!!!

Hahahaa :p Funny~!! ^^ Now i finally know what she was going through at that time le...


可惡的 WISDOM TOOTH

OWWW~

Happy Children's Day!! ^^ and... "Wanna eat early?" LOL

01 Oct 2007, Monday

Today was feeling really Happy and Amused!! Nothing much... Amused by my own msgs to some of my friends wishing them Happy Children's Day la, Ha ha ha :p And very tickled by many of the replies!!! Hahaa, so fun!!

Was glad to get my hands dirty (well, not exactly... we wear gloves!! heh heh) and did my favourite job of working on components today. It's so much more satisfying!! Things like those audit(s) preparations, secondary appointments stuff, etc... all shitty stuff and a big waste of time!! What's the point of audits if YOU ACTUALLY GET TO PREPARE FOR IT!!?? Just walk in and catch everyone for all the findings, and make them correct them!!!!!! Ah boh how to maintain standards!! No wonder whatever has been passed down for generations are all rubbish!! Suay to be at the receiving end of it all!!!

Aiyo ~ I suddenly realised... Wah lau write something happy also can suddenly have so many grudges and complaints.. i siao liao!! <(>_<)> hahaha :p


"Wanna eat early?"

ALRIGHT!! Now for the actual thing that i meant to share for today!! ;)

Everyday, mum prepares dinner and cleans up the kitchen before 7pm so that she can watch her tv programmes...

Today
(Heng reaches home at about 6pm)

Mum: Ah Heng 今天要早吃飯嗎?
Heng: huh~~ 隨便隨便
Mum: (looks at Heng queringly) 要早一點吃我就早一點煮
Heng: (not really giving it much thought) uh~ ok la ok la 隨便
Mum: (happily) 好啦今天就早一點煮 (walks into kitchen enthusiastically)
Heng: Aiyo 你每天問一樣(的)問題還不是差不多一樣時間煮?
大哥: (from inside his room) Harrr~ lorrrrrr~~~ (starts mumbling and grumbling... teasingly)
Mum: (walks back out into living room) 喂喂喂~ 甚麼 har?? 你們要早一點吃我就早一點煮嘛~~
大哥: (continues grumbling and complaining to mum teasingly and loudly)
Mum: (with her attention totally diverted to 大哥, continues protesting his grumbles)
Heng: (interrupts and teases mum) ok lor 我今天要晚吃~ 你八點才煮 ok?
Mum: 喂! 八點也太晚 liao ba~~~
Heng: Hai~ (shrugging with hands raised at the sides, palms facing up in a 無奈 pose) 結果還不是要這個時間煮
Mum: (laughing) 喂喂喂~ WAH 你們兩個 huh, 串通好來講我 huh?

Hahaa~ Happy family!! :p

Been having this feeling all along that i'll strike Toto someday ~ .............
When will tat day come!!!? LOL :p

Phew~

25 Sep 2007, Wednesday

Things seem to be picking up abit!! Though i probably shouldn't be saying it... Hahaa. Anyway, life off work's getting back to the way i like it, meeting friends, sports, rollerblading!! :)

Life at work still difficult, but today it seemed like things might pick up abit after all~

Hope things keep going this way!!

Frustrating Sept

16 Sep 2007, Sunday

Good things really shouldn't be said... After having those wonderful times in August, September turns out be quite horrid for me so far... Very little sports... very little meeting up friends... Lots of OT but getting flamed in work for nothing!! Damned.

In a bid of extra effort to clear up all the underlying mess in my section, some rush factor going on, and lots of bad luck, i somehow managed to get myself into some trouble at work... Suddenly it feels like all my credentials are gone!! Feel very much maligned for some things blamed on me which was not my fault nor my doing. VERY SAD!!! Nothing i could do about that...

In spite of that, must not be disheartened... Swear i'm gonna stay strong, keep working hard and continue to slowly but surely clear up all the mess. Men are great in the way they bounce back in times of adversity!! Sometimes, though, i wonder why i seem to be the only one who gets all nervous and anxious about these things, and why i seem to be the only one who shows, with genuine effort, that i want to get all these things cleared up quickly... Sigh~ Just realised i've deviated from my own beliefs abit already... It's all work and cropping myself up at home nowadays!!!!

Shall take a leaf out of Sio's blog and go two middle fingers up to express my frustration for all the shit things!!

t(-_-)t

Feel so grateful for Esther's Birthday celebration last Friday cos it was really nice meeting up with the rest after all these!! Thanks u all guys/gals :)

Send my flying kisses smacksss with lots of saliva to u all here *piak piak piak piak piak* ... Muahaha ~ :p

Heng vs Mum's Orange Juice!! LOL :p

09 Sep 2007, Sunday

Since when, i can't remember, but mum squashes orange juice almost everyday for her 3 beloved sons which is yours smart&handsome monkeyly and his 2 brothers~ Thank God for blessing us with such a loving mum!! Anyway here's something happened on one occasion which i'd love to share with you all!! ;)

(Heng reaches home from work and looks in the fridge for drinks. Sure enough, He finds mum's 愛心 orange juice)

Heng: (sipping the orange juice) Aiyo~!! 为甚麼咸咸的?
Mum: 是咸還是酸? 哪里有橙是咸的!?
Heng: 咸 lei!! :p
大哥 : 來來, 拿來 (bro takes a sip) 有点咸 lei
Mum: (waving hands in protest) Haiyo~~~ 哪里可能咸的???
Heng: (with a mischievous grin) 哦~!! 我知道!!! 你在擠那個橙汁出來的時候, (doing the squash-an-orange action), 那個橙流汗 :p
Mum: 今天天氣這樣涼我哪裡会流汗??? Aiyo buay tahan~~
(it was a rainy day on tat day! Hahaa)
Heng: 我不是讲你啦, 我讲那個橙~ (does the squashing-an-orange action again)
Mum: (finally catches wat Heng says, and getting tickled) Ha ha ha ha ha aiyo buay tahan 橙会流汗!?? (gives Heng a smack on the arm for teasing her) ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ^^

Well, my guess is mum must have tried adding a little sugar water to what she discovered was sour orange juice... And maybe added salt water instead!! Lol :p Not sure of it... Or maybe sweet + sour neutralises to become salty tasting? Dunno!! Hahaa :p Anyway, i was pretty pleased with myself for amusing mum the way i did, though i didn't show it. To gals out there, it pays to have a lame son ok!! You'll get a good laugh every now and then... Make sure you get one in future!! Hahaa :p

Tomorrow $5.5million Toto!!! Yay yay~~~ ^^

~Special August~

03 Sept 2007, Monday

It's been a month+!! Refused to write anything for the month of August because basically it's so called, "a month of mourning" for me... Darn Autumns... Always gives ppl a feeling of losing something important..... Well i DID kind of lose something inside me at the beginning of the month, so, yeah, Hahaa :p

Despite that, this year's August was actually a really good and enjoyable month for me!! Hmmm~ Lots of things going on the whole month, like, i won a small prize at the beginning of the month... It's like getting a month's bonus, LOL :p Then there were things like celebrating Jonathan's Birthday, Jolene's Birthday, chilling out at the pubs, Going back to NPS for a solo guitar performance by one of our Alumnis' Alumnis' Alumni... (Though i still prefer listening to Sio play instead~) And there was also the NPS BBQ where it was really really nice to see most of everyone, most notably Liting and Hongzhi!! Wah Lau u two really broke my heart when u said u weren't coming after the silly thing that happened... SO GLAD U TWO CAME!!! Hahaa :p Ok back to wat went on for me tis month... Played quite alot of Soccer and basketball... I have an injured right foot now!! And there was this particularly enjoyable weekday where i took half day's off and jio Zhaorong rollerblade at a basketball court near my home where we both learnt a few new things for ourselves (i can now u-turn super swiftly on both sides!!!), and he videoed a clip of me doing something dumb and buanging. Watched quite a few movies... Tat kungfu show acted by Zheng Zi Dan and Gu Tianle.. I forgot the name. Ratatouille... Hairspray... And I particularly enjoyed watching "Secret"!! It was quite a surprise really... Didn't intend to watch that show at all... But thanks to my Sotong colleagues who bought wrong tickets!! LOL :p The plot was really gooood~ The twists unexpected, the show funny, the love heartwarming. I recommend it!! This was what happened first thing the next morning after watching the show with my colleagues, it brightened up my day!! Lol~!! :p

(Heng boards bus 172 on his way to work, and notices his colleague Alvin snoozing on one of the seats.)
Heng: (smiling and pokes Alvin on the face with index finger)
Alvin: (opening his eyes and turning his face around and up) 可以請你不要做那麼娘娘腔的舉動吗!?

LOL!!!!! (Only those who watched the show would understand though~)

Then there was also this selection board where i won the Outstanding Serviceman for the month of June... Hahaa, so funny. During the selection talk, I actually told those high ranking officers that my personal aspiration is to tiok TOTO... Liddat also can win!! Hahaa :P Ooo but i was really proud and touched when my Flight WO recommended me to go for the selection... Though i feel i lack in knowledge and experience, It shows that good effort and commitment are being appreciated!! Actually, I just do things the way i did at NPS la... Sometimes i wish i didn't win it though~ Ppl around u go "Wah~ OSM! OSM!" almost all the time if and when i'm working slightly harder, and sometimes they do that first thing when they see me. Kind of irritating... And being OSM, can't really slack at times when i feel nuah cos would feel i'm letting my Flight WO down. Haiyo~!!! So mafan lor...

But to sum it all up, quite an interesting, eventful, meaningful and special month for me!! ;)
