little updates~ ;)

Wuah hah~!!

Gone for 3 weeks, but that doesn't mean i've had nothing on my mind to write! Just no time at first, and then the things that followed in quick succession changed my mood just as quickly, so it's hard to want to write those initial stuff when you're not feeling them anymore. Sentimentalist me... *chuckles* Ok this is going to be quite wordy~ Bear with me!! *Growls like a bear*

1. After meeting Wanling (lunch), JY(Dinner), and Zhaorong(Rollerblade) last month, i finally caught up with Dj (supper) earlier this month. Kuang, Edward and XiaoheiJac goes without mention because we meet every so often, Hahaa =p That completes the catching up i wanted to do for the time being.

2. Organising that damned BBQ - Somehow i nvr got around to doing it...... *chuckles* I got lazy and distracted ever since the online booking system rejected my emails for the bookings - i wonder why...? Awww Man~ Could this be the year that we miss out even on the BBQ gathering that we have every year?

3. Soccer is so fun!! So far, my soccer kAs include my colleagues, ex-colleagues, poly friends, ITE friends, sec sch friends, and their friends' friends. Shiok huh!! People from almost all walks of my life!! ;) Whatever blues i have for whatever reasons, soccer clears them all for me... maybe except for the blue-blacks la!! Hehe!! =p

4. One secret that i'm not ready to confess or write about although it was very much the basis of my moods for the past 1 month or so... Reading others' old blogs, and looking at old pics sparked this. What would it have been like if......? Just wondering about the lost times. Hahaa.

5. NPStrings clubhouse - *sigh* Was there again on the day that Ngee Ann organised the farewell dinner for Blk 73 with some of the rest. So many things still exist there that brings back the memories and sentiments in me. The very first of those things that i noticed was when i made the turn up that first flight of stairs from canteen 1 to the second flight -> The flip-flop sign on the door that tells us if the clubhouse is open/closed. Can't really remember if there was already one when i joined, but i had something to do with either installing it or modifying it to what it was.

Whoa~ The feeling of moving nearer to the clubhouse with the anticipation of wondering who's already inside that slightly open door. There used to be numerous variations, of course - Kuang sleeping inside, or Hongzhi and Marcus getting ready their laptops to play warcraft, or Peiyu with our endless smackings of each other, or big-eyes Jiaying with our loud exclamations of each other's names followed by my *poke* while she does the "punch*, or someone playing the guitar/violin inside, many many many more. So, who or what would it be this time? Could it be that some among us were early? Or would it be a group of juniors that i wouldn't recognise? *opens door* Aww~ it was only Yuanliang... who'd only just arrived before me.. where were the rest? Hahaa :p

Casually chit-chatting with him while waiting for the rest, i browsed thru the photos and albums, wondering at the same time if i should confiscate the whole pack of our photos for my own keeps. NPS clubhouse still smells the same despite being messy and vandalised beyond description. Aww~ the feel of the place. Was actually really glad that i'd reached earlier than the rest, because for the last time, i had the privileged of feeling and seeing the clubhouse slowly fill up with the many people i'm so fond of. I'd only managed a few minutes of playing the guitar by myself in the clubhouse after dinner, and really really wished i'd stayed there longer. Something in me loves and yearns for the company and homeliness of the place itself, perhaps even more so than the company of friends that come with it.

The place had the markings of us all over it. Like the flip flop sign i'd mentioned earlier. I also noticed the unplugged extractor fan in the inner room, remembering with a smile that it was us who'd managed to get them installed (Tianle especially) despite not getting the aircons we'd wanted for the instruments. And i seem to vaguely remember that that one of the two extractor fans was unplugged because it had caused a short circuit of some sorts after i'd graduated. With the mess the clubhouse was in, memories of our cleaning sessions sparked an inner desire to have another spring cleaning session where me and Tianle would virtually throw half the things out as trash... *chuckles*

Going into the music room, i fervently wished that Edward, Tianle, Jinwen and co. were there as well so that we could have our last games of clubhouse soccer. I entertained myself with the thought of organising a last min very last guitar practice there - And as i walked in, kuang was exclaiming to me "Ah Heng! Lai~ Practice!" while simulating taking the stacked chairs to arrange for guitar practice. I didn't mention it this time, but how funny that we still manage to think the same things even after all these years of having graduated from the school and club. At one point, when the music room was empty of people except myself because everyone else were chatting in the clubhouse and along the corridors, i stood behind the table, looking from left to right as though all my guitar 1 to 3 players were there in the seats, and imagined myself conducting another lesson... Emo Heng, hahaa. Seeing both Moira and Kuang there at the end gives me even more sentiments than anyone can ever imagine - They were first people i encountered at the beginning of my life in NPS, and there they were, with me at the very last... How very nice...... :)

6. Last but not least, this is some fantastic violin playing!!

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

05 June 2009, Friday

I've got other things i wanna write about but it's abit late now and i haven't been getting enough sleep of late, so i'm just gonna fill you in on the thing that's occupying my mind most now -> I'm so charmed by this wonderful love song by Jason Mraz! Song's "I'm Yours". Go find the song and check it out!! Or you could listen to the live version here, just skip the first 38 seconds or so of the video though~ What a song to tell someone "I Love You!". Nice and fun!! :)



Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
Well you done done me and you bet i felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that i melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now i'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find Love, love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
Ah La peaceful melody
It's your God-forsaken right to be Loved loved loved loved loved

So i won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait i'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so i drew a face and laughed

I guess what i'm saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait i'm sure
There's no need to complicate (Well no no open up your mind and see like me)
Our time is short (Open up your plans and damn you're free)
This is our fate, I'm yours, i'm yours (Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love)

(Repeat and fade out)
----------------------------------------------
Simply Awesome!! Love it!!! ;)

wowww~ Guitar babe in the house!!

01 June 2009, Monday

I'm kind-of amazed by something Jonathan was showing me - Check this out~ Cool babe strum-singing on the guitar, and she can play the ukelele!! *chuckles* And she has a nice smile at the end of her videos... Oh man~!! Bring on the guitar babes!!





So Nice right!! ;)

Orh-chehs and blisters!! :p

31 May 2009, Sunday

Let's recap Heng's past few days activities!! Soccer on Fri night, work and 20km++ rollerblading on saturday, and a morning soccer session + a trip to the library today! (skipped the shopping trip) Damn tiring lor~~~ and i've sustained a considerable amount of injuries during the past few soccer sessions... Full of orh-chehs and blisters now!! *chuckles*

Look at all the swells, and i even have a blister inside another blister, if u look carefully!! Oh man~~ plus, i guarantee you've not seen all of it yet... another orh-cheh on my hip and left leg!! Wahahaaa :p I'm sure the gals out there would be rolling their eyes back and saying GUYS. Oh well yeah, it's a guy thing~ Good thing i'm single, if not surely kenna nag dao si... Hur hur hurrr~ ;)

Looking forward to the next soccer session and more weekends of fun like that for coming weeks!! ;)

little updates

30 May 2009, Saturday

Yesss Barcelona not Man U!!! Wahahahaa~!! :)
I simply love the free flowing soccer that Barca plays...... They even give the feel of attacking when they're defending!! The best example of this was during the 27th to 29th minute of the game... Dunno how to describe, go watch the replays for yourselves!! ;) Barca's passing was simply exquisite throughout the whole game... I hope Arsenal can play that kind of soccer AGAIN someday!! Well they use to do so, and they still try to do so, but they don't come close to the perfect execution of that play that Barca does yet... I'm now an Arsenal and Barcelona fan!!!! :)

------------------------------------------------

After work today (7am to 1pm), i went to East Coast Park with Zhaorong for skating and it was absolutely fantastic!! Although i was abit bai ka due to last night's 3hr soccer, wanted to visit the place and enjoy the buzz and feel of the elements!! As usual, we'd skate to the SAFRA chalet, but today was just abit extra special because of some little exploration that we did... Damn cool man!!

While skating, we noticed that it was Adidas' sundown marathon event day, because there were "distance boards" all along the cycling routes in East Coast. The first one we noticed was at "21km". On and on we skated along our usual route... until we reached the SAFRA resorts, and then we discovered that there was this extended connection to Changi. so we decided to skate on and explore... Wahaa!! Damn nice to skate once you've gotten through the initial slightly bumpy roads... There was this slightly dangerous swerve where people might fall into the sea if they overspeed and can't manage to brake though, *chuckles* really stirred up the laugh bugs in me lahh!! Maybe sometimes i imagine these horrible scenes too comically? hahahaa :p

So goes the story of Heng and Zhaorong's little adventure... From East coast Mac we skated till we passed by the planes and the airport and Changi Ferry Terminal and SAF Ferry Terminal and finally ended our little adventure at Changi Village!! All along was actually following the marathon route in some way.... I think we'd covered about 20++km today!! Fantastic lor~ the best part was really the feel of exploration and not really knowing what to expect ahead of us, so fun!! :) At the end of the skating trip, i rewarded myself with a nice plate of the famous Nasi Lemak, shiok lah!!! ^^

----------------------------------------------

二缺一
Previously a friend mentioned in passing that this term "二缺一" had nothing to do with what i thought it was, but just a nice song of Charlene Choi's!! Oh man~!! How could i not know!! Hahaha :p So..... i'd actually went and found the song and listened to it, really like it sia... Even better that it's Charlene's voice! :) I'd only managed to find the cantonese version though... Wanna to listen to both the Mandarin and Cantonese versions but couldn't find the Mandarin one. I know the cantonese version would be nicer anyway but i wanna compare the lyrics!! It's quite an emo song, so i wouldn't recommend it to heartbroken people, but i find the lyrics nice because they deliver the msg consistently throughout the song with rhyming entire paragraphs. Fantastic!! Here's part of the lyrics just for illustration purposes ;)

每晚回到家里 帶半殘废身軀
入睡床沒法睡 雜念來又去
往往仍记起你 过去共你一起
所经过多得可以编写几次传记
分享我的兴趣 分担我各樣顾虑
在绝处一刻拥抱等於给我圣水
你去後令我发现 笑声有罪 踏步也失据

剩下自己 怎可走到尾
遇挫折孤身撑起 好东西獨独自回味
最極刑是 剩下自己 彷彿单腳企
任我再努力逃避 終须一跌沒餘地
假使我昨日 单身走过去
沒有经历和你 一起的壯舉
今天要我独居应不会 難受到想死去

Yea tmr morning another 2hrs of soccer and an afternoon trip to the library for me!! Hmm~ considering between joining Jimmy, his gf and his gf's friends for KTV or doing some shopping for new clothes!! GSS is here again!!!! :) Gotta go sleep liao, tataz!!

20 May 2009, Wednesday

I surprise even myself with how nonchalant i am with my results this semester. Tomorrow's my paper, and yet for the large part of my leave days, i've spent much of my time either reading storybooks, watching tv or doing leisure stuff online. I've actually only managed to reeeaally start studying only today and i'm actually not nervous about it... oh man! Gimme back my sense of emergency!!

Instead, i spend my time pondering over random things like:
Would you think sometimes some people are just too charming or charismatic for their own good and others? Not in terms of looks, but attractive personalities. Its like sometimes this attractive gal/guy has to act like they haven't noticed interest from people, they probably feel bad about choosing not to notice anyway. The term for this is.. ~Lan tao hua~ Hahaa :p And then, I've noticed how some people stay single without going into relationships for years once they've ever had a crush on someone relatively attractive to them. After that, the others just seem...... plain or missing something? Kakaa :p

Hmm~ Perhaps it's just human nature, just like anyone who's been to Redang wouldn't really find Tioman to be all that attractive at all lah!! Hehe~ Ah~~ Just a reflection as someone who's been on both ends as the bee and the honey (or the fly and the dabian if you like). Of course there's also people like yours monkeyly who has been in relationships before and prefer staying single for the freedom

Sometime last week or early this week, i recalled this nice story again -> "Where Rainbow Ends". Maybe some people are like Alex and Rosie? ... Sharing that fondness for each other, yet never willing to reveal their feelings just because they perceive that the other party doesn't have that kind of feeling in return, or being whirled into circumstances that prevent them from confessing each time they gather enough resolve to do so... Awww~ i wouldn't want to be in their shoes... I think it's really sad if 2 people so in love with each other have to wait till they're in their 50s or something before know how much feelings they have for each other and get together......... OOOOO i've suddenly realised something more important!!

Sheeeeeeeeet i've wasted 40mins writing this gibberish......!!! (x_x''') Back to studies now!! Bye bye!! *chuckles*

Haircut!!

19 May 2009, Tuesday

Guess what? I'm actually feeling quite proud of myself right now. Just moments ago i'd returned from a trip to the hairdressers feeling distraught with looking idiotic like the Brazilian Ronaldo years back when he had his hair shaped like his teeth... Oh man!! Seriously! I kind-of had that buck teeth on the right side of my head after the haircut! Wah lauuu!!! So i took things into my own hands - and shaver, of course. I gave myself another haircut!! Hahaa :p Well, at least i don't look like Ronaldo anymore, without the "buck teeth" on the right side of my head. I actually look kind-of smart now u know! HaHa *whews sigh of relief*

(edit) i've just drawn some simple illustrations of that "stylish" hairstyle... kakaka

That slope i'm mentioning about has nothing whatsoever to do with a fringe, it's really cut short in the middle and shaped progressively longer along the right side. And that fantastic slope's part of the buck teeth on the right side. Say i'm old-fashioned if you like, but if being stylish involves looking stupid, i'd rather shave myself botak than to be soooo stylish as to have "buck-teeth" on the top side of my head....... Kakaka :p Haiya, i should've taken pictures of that stupid hairstyle, but was really feeling too distraught and panicky at that moment. And i've just discovered that my camera's run out of battery anyway, pics (of me NOW) up when batteries are recharged tonight! ;) (Added!)

No curry pok on the right side of my head!! Yea!! ;)

Meeting u again :)

18 May 2009, Monday

I'm super yearning for my exams to finish this Thursday, cos i've just got my hands on the whole series of "The Belgariad" today!! Wahaa!!! Wahhhhhh~~~~~ Wanna start reading them sia....... Hope i can resist long enough to complete my revisions! *chuckles*

Guess what? For all the alone time that i've claimed to have enjoyed from weeks ago, i actually decided to switch modes. Met up with some of my closest friends individually for meals and chit chat recently. Didn't really want to talk about this until meeting with specifically 3 of them among all the people close to me. Can you believe it? They're the people who've occupied my thoughts most since late 2004, and yet it's been approximately 2 months+, 3 months+ and 10 months++ respectively since i'd last met the 3 of them. Well I've finally managed to fulfill that wish today! ;) I can finally move on without looking back at things that happened or didn't happen!! Hahaa ^^

Next people on my list -> definitely Dejun and Zhaorong, my good bro and sis... are the 2 of you ready for me? Heh heh :) Sometime this weekend or next week ok? ;)

As for the rest...... You can make do with these pics of me for now right......? Hahahaa :p

Hahahaa~ ok cut the crap. I'm actually planning to go for a haircut tmr or the day after so just taking some pics of myself now for the sake of doing it. And also just to keep from getting too wordy! :p

By the way! BBQ in June, anybody? :)

Little updates~!!

18 May 2009, Monday

Just realised today how little attention i'd been paying to my online webbys and exploits including blogspot, hahaa!! And this realization comes as a result of Dejun flooding my email with Facebook photo tags, Thanks har~~~ Hahaha. Having real fun with muah offline stuff, so wasn't really concerned about friendster or facebook etc becoming mouldy ~ Kakaka :p

Just took my Marketing paper on Friday, i think it would take a big big miracle for me to pass! Yeah i know many of my friends are not going to believe this, but i actually DO think i'm going to fail this time! Hahahaa... Not really into studying this sem yeah... Can't really say i'm feeling lazy, just too distracted la!

Was studying with Xiaohei, Joey, and one of Joey's other friend at Woodlands library from 12 to 9pm on Thursday. Yours monkeyly spent half the time going on 2 separate shopping trips, reading a comic book (bought from the 2nd shopping trip) and talking crap about stuff like worms, spraying insecticide up somewhere, goldfish and fisherman's friend. Quite a joke, Hahaha, hmm~ should i elaborate? Maybe next time la

Next - remember someone mentioning that my blog's gotten too wordy. Haiya~ muah poor neglected camera... Hehe ;) Ok, here's the first picture of many to come (hopefully!) then!!

These are muah proud purchases over the past few weeks.

School shoes, a soccer ball, and The Mallorean series by David Eddings

I guess the purchases of the Soccer ball and the books are pretty much self-explanatory, but school shoes? Kakaka :p Well, it's nothing, i'm not planning on infiltrating some secondary school or something with my deceptively youthful looks, it's just that i play my soccer games better wearing them because i'm so used to playing in those shoes. I actually started shooting and dribbling properly after getting those shoes... i've finally started scoring goalsssss again! Amazing, huh!! *Chuckles*

Typical weekend

26 April 2009, Sunday

Nothing special to mention... but I played soccer again on Friday night from 10pm to 2am!! :) :) :) Super fun!!! Unfortunately i injured my left ankle and right hip in between the games ... Hahaa :p Then again, didn't think the injuries were that bad at first, cos i was able to continue playing without any pain throughout, although i couldn't shoot with my left foot la. BUT discovered to my horror that my left foot was swollen on Saturday morning!! Haiya originally wanted to go East Coast today de lor. Should have been a really nice day cos the weather today was fantastic ^~^ Yay Arsenal win and Aston Villa draw!! Pity West Ham miss their penalty against Chelsea... Hahaa :p

Back to superfit and play soccer days...? Heh heh~

21 April 2009, Tuesday

Starting from my first running practice last Wednesday, i'm finally getting my hopes up about becoming ... ... superfit again!! :) Though it was nothing special and not particularly strenuous, it was the difficult first step and very significant push to get my exercise momentum going. Even more lucky, i've finally found people to play soccer together regularly with!! Wahaa!!! ^^

Last friday was super satisfying, though i felt quite bad about asking Alvin (mua colleague friend) to find another ka for his mahjong session because i wanna pang-seh the session to play soccer... Thanks to Jerry la huh~ hehe. Met the other guys for the soccer gamessss at FICO (cage soccer) at 10pm. I didn't recognise many of them, cos there were friends' friends and Air force alumnis included amongst us. We played till 1am! Super shiok lor, though i was abit bah-ka at first... couldn't control the ball when dribbling it at all. Too long nvr play le!! The muscle aches from wednesday's run had something to do with it as well, i guess~ To think i was almost unbeatable in my sec school and ITE days, ~sigh~ Thanks to the other side of my game though, (distribution play, anticipation play) i was able to exert a considerable amount of influence after the 3rd game :) super fun, super Fun, Super Fun!!! Whole of Saturday and Sunday was itching to play in every cell lor, hehe :p

Saturday - planned to start my day at 7.30am, but it was mission impossible. What to do~ Only reached home at close 2am and slept at close to 3am the night before, heh heh~ woke up at close to 11am instead. Went to CPF building in Jurong East to get my Singpass for e Tax-filing... I procrastinated till the very last day again!! Hahaha :p And then since the library was so near, i'd also planned to return the books i'd finished and borrow some more. On top of that, i visited Popular bookstore and found Breaking Dawn!! WOW!!!! 7 extra stories to finish before 10 May..... Siao liao!!!! (Cos wanna finish Breaking Dawn first.. hehe) Once reached home, cheong assignment, read Breaking Dawn, cheong assignment, read Breaking Dawn, cheong assignment... watch soccer!!! :)

So yeah~ was super happy on Saturday until... ... ...
Arsenal lost to Chelsea in their FA Cup semi-finals!! Damn lor... the pitch was terrible, about the same as Villarreal's pitch in Arsenal's away game there. Although Arsene Wenger (Arsenal's manager) claims it (the pitch) had nothing to do with Arsenal's loss to Chelsea, i have every reason to disagree. I DISAGREE!!!! Lemme ask those who wanna contradict me. What's Arsenal's strength and way of playing? Lightning quick and precise passing, one touch football. What's Chelsea's main strength? They make use of Power players like Didier Drogba, Michael Essien, John Terry, Michael Ballack to exert their pressure on players. On that stupid pitch, Arsenal were stripped of their advantage, while Chelsea could simply pump their long balls in, which was what they did for the winning goal anyway. UNFAIR!!! Wembley pitch is truly a disgrace, especially considering its cost and prestige.

Sunday... Resigned myself to sulking, cheonging assignment, reading and sleeping the whole day long. Breaking Dawn is definitely the best of the four in the Twilight Saga!! Nice lor, haha. Originally would've been interested to watch Man U vs Everton at night but was still feeling miserable from Arsenal's loss so wasn't in the mood to watch another inconsequential-to-Arsenal-fans-anymore soccer match. Hmm. Man U lost on penalties. Ha ha~ At least the Man U fans couldn't suan me, hehe :p

Today! Went for another running practice. And then i was told that another soccer session possibly coming up this Friday!! Yayyyy!!!!! ^^ Super tired now, gonna sleep. Tataz!!

The Myself Times... Hahaa :p

13 April 2009, Monday

Woohooo~ ! Didn't realise it's been a month since i'd last written. My impressions tell me that it couldn't have been less than 15 times that i'd wanted to write on stuffs coming across my mind; that brushed against my emotions & thoughts over this period of time... Though of course, being me, nuahness tends to triumph over desires, haha! Hmm~ can't really remember what i'd wanted to write at those times though, so i'll just focus on those i've deeper impressions of :)

EPL league results
Not that i've anything against Man U, which i appreciate for the flowing attacking football that they normally exhibit... but the arrogance that Man U's fans have accumulated in their over-egoistic minds over their repeated successes really irritates me to the core of my very being. So i was immensely satisfied when Man U lost to Liverpool and Fulham, and with devastating results as well. Woohooo~!! Time for Man U fans to learn some humility. But what pleases me most are the recent results that Arsenal have managed to achieve! Seeing them getting back their attacking instincts and capacity makes me more happy than any other goings on in the leagues!! I can't believe Arsenal's bad luck though... Now that they've welcomed their key strikers and midfielders back from injuries, they've lost their key defenders!! Wah lau wey...... Siao liao lah............................

Eclipse
The 3rd book in The Twilight Saga Series. Managed to buy it from the JP Popular outlet some time back, lucky! Hmm... It's not really what this book is about, but parts of the story from New Moon to Eclipse got me thinking back about some of my own past experiences. So i was Edward, and then i was Jacob...? In many ways but not all though. That troubled me for a while, i suppose... And then the urge to read and relive some past memories that i'd written on was overwhelming, and i succumbed. This time it didn't poison my heart like it used to, but still remembered how excruciating and torturing the experience was. Nothing of much effect on me now though! Just reflecting, hur hurr ;)

Personal Time
For the past 4 weeks or so, i decided to spend some alone time away from almost everything and everyone else - i was rarely online or outside other than when work, classes or assignments required me to; I shied away from contact with most people during my free times, and kept myself to myself for myself. Ahhh~ The freedom was so pleasurable, and i enjoyed it. Even so, inevitably from the 3rd week or so, i started missing my friends and all the group outings, and mahjong sessions. It became so serious that i came to realise how badly i missed the times where we need not even spend one/zillionths of a second to think of where we could find good company - ahh~ the good ol' NPS times... ~sigh~ Heyy peeps, if you're reading this, i super miss u all lei >_<

East Coast
Back to my "antisocial" times (Wahahaaa~), remember spending a day at East Coast for the afternoon sun and the evening breeze. MYSELF time, didn't even bring my phone with me... Woohoooo~!!! Super shiok lor, and good time to be a little emo, of course... (emo not equals sad, ok, hehe^^) Wahh~ how to describe the freedom of moving around in my blades with hardly any restrictions and being unbounded from everything except myself... or feeling the sun and wind brush gently against my skin with my eyes closed and ears open to the serenade of the sea that cleansed my mind while i rested sitting or lying down... could feel my every cell relaxed and vibrating with the happiness of being so free from the world, as if i were a cloud, or the wind, or simply an element and not a being. Really appreciated the experience... Pity i can't risk doing it all the time cos the nature of my work requires me to stay contactable, hahaha. Tsk.

Library
Another day was spent in J.E library browsing for books of my interest. It was some days after i'd finished reading Eclipse and found myself unable to contain my reading needs... So yea it was my off day which i originally desired to nuah in bed and relax all day comfortably wormed in the hole that was my home, but tadah!!! somehow found enough motivation to push myself out to get the books. What's the point of staying in bed without anything to read!! Eeee!! Haha :p Yups and so after a whole day of browsing and slight frustration at being able to locate all but the first book of a series i took interest in (rolls eyes back and feeling exasperated, i think it was The Tamuli.. or was it another series? hmm~ Can't really remember) i gave up on that and finally ended up leaving the library with "The shadows of the wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (i almost typed Julian Caraz! *Chuckles* ahhh~ u'll understand what i'm saying once u've read the book) and "The Hidden City" by Michelle West neatly tucked in my bag. Another 4 weeks of good reading in between work, class and assignments to enjoy! Heh heh~ ;)

Breaking the alone time
Spent a day with a favourite friend. I was tired from lack of sleep, because for the whole week before that, i had to start work at 5.30am everyday except thursday. Friday and Saturday were worse - ended at 7pm. So it was great in a way. Despite being tired and cooped up for so long, it was nice to find myself able to chat with someone non-stop. Hmm, thinking back, the little downside for me was, i think, allowing my guard down and being a little careless with touch and words. i shall ensure that i exercise better restraint like my normal self when i meet with friends again, hehe :p But this day, it was amazing. Although the day did not proceed as we originally planned, where even plan B was discarded due to the terrible but filling lunch that we started off with, while at the same time discovering some differences between us, the rest of the day was as though i was trying to make up to myself for all the silence i'd embedded myself in for the past weeks. It was just one of the rare days that i was able to chatter non-stop with countless reminisces of the dramas of my life where i was the lead actor... it helps that the friend was a good listener too, Fantastic! Hahaa :p Quite funny lor, when i think back, and immensely enjoyable :) Especially to think that i managed all that in my tiredness!

Finally back to my normal work routine! Today's my off day and i'm supposed to start on my assignments... but i shall nap first, hehe :p Tataz!

Colorgenics

13 Mar 2009, Friday

Got to know about this "Colorgenics test" from Kelvin's blog and decided to try it...... Honestly, just like him, i wonder how a simple test with colours can be so quite accurate huh~ It's really amazing! hahaa :p

Name: Yow Heng
Date: 3/12/2009
Colorgenics Number: 14356027

You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment and happiness. You are capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Deep down, you are a kind loving person, always helpful and willing to adapt yourself if necessary to realise the bond of affection that you desire. But you need the same consideration and understanding from others and it is this need that will sometimes hold you back... so let go, trust and you may pleasantly surprised at what happens.

So so very true lei~ nothing to dispute about this... Hahaa ;)

You enjoy taking part in anything that may constitute fun and excitement. You need to be stimulated and need to feel that 'Life is worth living' and you are awaiting that stimulation and you don't particularly care where it comes from!

Yesss!!! People who know me would know :)

You are prepared to establish a particular relationship that is being made available to you at this time. It could be a satisfactory liaison but there could be a certain amount of conflict involved -try to avoid direct confrontation at all costs.

Hmmm~ depends if there's any person who meets expectations? Wahahaa :p

From every direction there appear to be unwarranted restrictions on your freedom of action and this is producing considerable stress. You're really looking for independence and freedom from any restriction and therefore avoiding any obligations or anything which might prove hampering. You are being subjected to considerable pressures and you would like nothing better than to escape from them but you tend to lack the necessary strength of purpose to succeed in this. Whichever way you turn you are being frustrated. You need to be free to do your 'thing' in your own way.

Ya lahhh~ i need freedom!!! But for now it's quite ok~ i can breathe ^^

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.

Yes yes~!! No quarrels, no conflicts, peace~ leave me alone, hehe :p

So interesting~ For those who wanna try, you can take this test at the following webby ;)

WOWWW was going to write a post and then suddenly realised it's friday the 13th.... Hope nothing goes wrong today!! Hahaa :p

Random thoughts - Happy again~

08 Mar 2009, Sunday

Back again! Past few weeks were a mixture of both entertaining and unhappy stuff.

Unhappy stuff cos a few things not going on too well for quite a number of my good friends like Jimmy (earlier on at work), Xiaohei (but with 3 assignments down & at least another one happy thing, she's ok), Zhaorong (hopefully he's getting better and more occupied), Joey (hmm most worrying of the 4), and childhood friend Koon (who's just lost his dad to heaven). And then there's the "combo meal" that my this sem's grpmates treated me. Bloody hell. Shall not talk of these unhappy stuff though~ Hahaa :)

Entertaining stuff including the likes of the story of a suitor (not me huh hahaha) who unsuccessfully jio-ed one of my gal-friends to go steady with him on v-day's eve, very interesting contents!! *chuckles* Well, he's done some other things well to earn himself some credits though... so congrats to him!! Hmm~ other entertaining stuff i guess are the recent plight of Kuang being suan-ed (by me) about being fat and (by sheena & Poh) losing his humour and stuff during the past 2 times that we met... Kelian de Ah Kuang. Hi Ah Kuang!! *waves* (Hur hurr hurrr~) :p One of that was during Zhaorong's Bday celebration which was alot of fun preparing. Shall not go into the details though!! We also had fun with the cake after the birthday song which i sang loudly and with much Gusto *Grins*. My my~ Birthday cakes are really delightful when they're litted up with candlelight. Was so so happy seeing the cake even though it was not for me. I can have no end of fascinations about these things de lor ^^

Happily chatting about holes
(After the birthday song, blowing out candlefire, photos and removing candles)

Heng: Zhaorong prepare to cut the cake~
Zhaorong: Eh wait i want to take pictures of the cake
Xiaohei: Aiyo! The cake alot of holes liao lei~
Heng: Ya lo, ay but i think got holes maybe like looks better lei
(Zhaorong happily snapping away with kuang and Heng helping him while xiaohei takes pictures of the 3 guys fiddling around with the cake)
Heng: (to xiaohei) Aiya just now should remember which coloured candle occupy which hole!! Then i can post the pic on the blog and describe one by one
Xiaohei: Hahaha ni wu liao lor
(Zhaorong places the "Happy Birthday" decoration flat on the cake for more photos)
Heng: (Eyeing the decoration) Ay!! We should try pressing that Happy Birthday into the cake! See whether the cake can have another nice hole or not
Xiaohei: (giggles) huh can meh will become very ugly or not
Heng: Aiya try know liao lor~ (Takes decoration and presses into the cake)
...
...
... (cake "sponges" down along with the downward pressure)
Heng: =_=''' Aiyo! the cake too spongy liao (taking away the decoration & looks at the cake) really become very ugly lei hahaha. (looks again) Aiya the words never take shape on the cake. Ay zhaorong cut the cake cut the cake~

Haha!! Zhaorong and Ah Kuang, wanna supplement with ur comments from that day? Can't remember the rest too clearly wor~ Hur hurr hurr~

Hmm~ recently with my outings i've become increasingly aware that i seem to be the only one that's not attending as a couple, and somehow that's producing some kind of pressure (still quite ignorable though, hahaa). I guess age has something to do with it bah!! Well i think i'm staying single anyway~ here's something about myself that i've been meaning to share for sometime anyway, that's what i enjoy. I call it "revelling happily in the aloneness". I don't really understand but there's something inside of me that totally revels in the freedom and being by myself. Examples of stuff i do alone are my hobbies which are ALOT. Used to be stuff like guitar playing of course~ In recent times would be Rollerblading, Reading, suntanning, video gaming (with old nintendo games), watching tv and clips online, etc etc etc!! I've no time for all of them!! *whines* I love being by myself sometimes... i guess NPS fellas would remember a time when i totally disappeared from everybody's contact. Nobody could contact me for weeks bcos i turned off my phone and cut off all contact to me. And then i'd do memorable stuff like learn Sunburst, or do the famous 25 burger thingy for fun~ Hahaa!! Crazy fella~

Convince me to go into a relationship only if u find someone who clicks with me! and i guess that means she enjoys stuff like music, mahjonging, reading, sports, doesn't need luxuries (my standard is 3 room flat only) and stature. Where to find!! Only i'm like that, bcos i live only for self-actualization!! Wahahaa :p Having said that, i'm happy to be myself!

Heng's mood index: mH (= moderato Happilito!!) *chuckles*

Little updates

08 Feb 2009, Sunday

Hmmm~ i guess i should update starting from last Thursday? Ho ho :)

Last Thursday (29th Jan), Kuang smsed me to get a confirmation from me that our originally planned steamboat dinner was cancelled, then jio-ed me for mahjong. Ha ha ha~ he couldn't get the necessary ka, so i asked him whether wanna jio Zhaorong and XiaoheiJac out for dinner and movie. In between i asked Kuang to ask Liting, Dejun and co. whether they wanted to meet us, cos XiaoheiJac told me she had already agreed to meet a friend and couldn't join us. In the end XiaoheiJac's friend zhun zhun fall sick so instead it was still the 4 of us, Kuang, Zhaorong, XiaoheiJac, and yours monkeyly, although Zhaorong only met us after the movie at 9+ due to his work. We watched "Love matters", which was quite a funny show, i enjoyed it. XiaoheiJac was really quite pretty on that day with her newly dyed hair, and one piece dress. She told us that it was her company's new policy that they had to dress formal but not in uniform on Thurs and Fri, and added cheekily that her company didn't have enough $$ in their coffers to replace their uniforms and so wanted them to wear it less often, ha ha ha. Then we chit chatted at MOS burger where as usual, our conversations were so funny that i commented "wah lau laugh until stomach very pain... if tmr i got IPPT, i think i can do 60 situps lor, very well trained today liao". I also related to them my recent thoughts and opinions about relationships when looking at what's happening to my friends around me, which had me kind-of disillusioned and convinced that i'm right to stay single for now. Abit tired of bgr even just looking at it and not getting involved...

On friday (30th Jan), i attended my very first marketing lesson for this semester. The lecturer was WOW, excellent!! Very san ba, very talkative, speaks very fast, but very passionate and engaging. It was really fun to attend her lecture, which was punctuated with laughter, and cheeky answers/remarks in response to her questions, of which yours monkeyly most willingly and actively participated in contributing, Hur hur hurr... :p Her enthusiasm really really rubs off on all of us! Hmmmmmm..... For those of my friends who know Cherie, yupz, that's almost exactly how my lecturer is like in terms of Behaviour, talking style, and san-ba-ness!! And her name is Sheryl, so similar!!! Hahaha :p Really really enjoyed the lessons! After reaching home from the lesson, i then jio-ed a few friends to see if anybody wanted to meet up to go Qimei's home together on the next day for our gathering, before turning in for the night.

Saturday (31 Jan, Chu6), woke up at about 11+, then washed up and started for Qimei's home at the other end of the country. While on the train, i decided to confirm with XiaoheiJac that i wouldn't be going to EngWah's home later on in the day after all. Not really enough time for me to be at Tampines, Sengkang, and Admiralty all in 1 day!!! And with NPS fellas, i wouldn't want to just drop by say hi and then disappear... Really felt like spending more time with them la. Well anyway, reached Tampines and decided to have my lunch at Mac while waiting to see if Sheena, Poh and co. were coming to meet me to go Qimei's home together. I cabbed there alone in the end and reached at about... 2.40pm i think? They were already playing mahjong when i reached, so didn't get to play much (But Big Thanks to GuanTyng who let me play for him for about 2 winds!!) Was supposed to leave at about 5pm+ for my colleagues' farewell dinner, which i discovered to my horror was at Admiralty area instead of Aljunied!!! WOWWW!!!! Huge huge difference between the locations lor, really really idiotic of me not to realise after more than 1 whole week of talking about the dinner with my colleagues! Hahahaha :p

(On a certain weekday)

Soh: Ay the dinner on Saturday is around Admiralty area huh
Heng: (Thinking Aljunied) Orh ok ok. Wah~ Heng is not Ang Mo Kio or what ah, if not i travel till siao on that day sia. I'm going Tampines/Changi area and maybe Sengkang before the dinner lor~ Admiralty still not too bad la
Soh: (??? but doesn't comment on Heng's reply cos not sure) u jiak ba liao!! Travel so much on that day. Maybe from Sengkang can take Ah Wu's car lor
Heng: (Still thinking Aljunied) Aiya~~~ No need la Admiralty ok mah, all on about the same side of Singapore
Soh: (???? again)
(Heng already left the scene and conversation liao)


Imagine if i'd decided to go to Eng Wah's home at Sengkang too!!! Would've travelled thru whole of Singapore in one day lor... =_=''' Yupz, anyway back to what i was saying, in the end stayed till about 6pm cos was hoping to see the rest who hadn't arrived. Alas, It was not to be... though i still held on to the hope that there would be a 2nd round at some ktv or something so i could join them again after the dinner. When i'd reached Sakura, (near RP), was already close to 8pm. Ate and chatted abit with everyone happily even though the food wasn't really to my liking. Some of us then continued for the 2nd round where we went to Robertson Walk (ard Mohd Sultan there) to drink and watch soccer. There was only Soh, Jianming, Alvin and his gf Yunjie, but we still had fun chitchatting away, drinking, and watching soccer. Whoa watched Arsenal vs West Ham, Boltan vs Tottenham and Aston Villa vs Hull (i think) all at the same time! When the matches were coming to an end, i checked with Qimei whether NPS fellas would be having 2nd round somewhere... Unfortunately the ans was no, so for the first time in many years, i didn't get to see as many NPS fellas over CNY as i'd hoped...... Anyway, so i stayed and watched the Man U match too. Reached home about 4am+


01 Feb (Sunday) Woke up at about 12+. Mahjong at Alvin's home was supposed to start at 2pm, so i washed up and gobbled up my food while surfing the net. That's when i read the post which made me very sad. While on my way to Alvin's home, i kept pondering and wondering what went wrong, why things unrelated to the incident were mentioned, and all the time worrying with a heavy heart about how and whether our friendship would weather thru this storm... I also discovered that i'd forgotten to bring oranges (ok, this is anti-climax, i know), so when i reached Chinatown i had to ask a very kind uncle who gave me directions on where i could buy some. Took me 10mins to reach the store and whole of 20mins to select nice looking oranges. Ironically, on this day my luck on the mahjong table turned for the better and i won $70. We were playing 3/6, so that's ok. When i reached home at about 10pm+, i continued pondering about the matter with sadness while i washed up and started writing my previous post. All the time i kept thinking about the quote from Cao Zhi (from Romance of the 3 Kingdoms), "相煎何太急". Was really very sad about it. Dropped an sms to dear friend, saying i wrote on my blog again, and also offered to meet up to clear our misunderstandings, if any.

Monday, (02 Feb), pity, total of 3 or 4 requests to meet were met with a final "not free for this whole mth". Only then did i realise how shallow our friendship was, that it was not even worth 1 or 2 hrs of her time to restore to normal. While eventually it might still be there, it'll nvr be the same again. Besides sadness, nothing more to describe how i felt. Luckily managed to clear up another misunderstanding which i didn't even realise was in the air with another person, that lifted my spirits for a while. Wanted to skip evening class because of the little sleep i had on Saturday night and also the night before, but forced myself to attend as i had yet to form my assignment grp. Slept like a stone for the night...

The other weekdays passed by uneventfully, though sadness and the feeling of loss continued to badger me throughout. Remembered things like "Sometimes, people find it more difficult to forgive others for being right than being wrong" from the Harry Potter series. How very true. Reflecting back on that very sentence which i commented on facebook very early on - "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, not my problem, Heng ah!!", i really smacked my forehead and wondered why i was so foolish as to poke my nose in, and turn it into my problem. Undoubtedly the gesture was fine, but Nosy and Silly. Anyway, i've decided this is not worth my time and thoughts, i guess i'll just put my attention on other things and people from now on. Anyway, dear friend seems to be getting along well with her life now so that's really great.


Friday (06 Feb), i received an invitation from Edward to play mahjong!! Goodness me, it's been quite a while since i last met him. Was really quite happy about it. We decided we'd play 2 rounds, but not through the night as he had to teach in the morning and i had classes on fri night itself and also saturday morning. We played from about 11pm till close to 4am and It was fun, i'd also won another $70. I then stayed in Ed's home for the night where we lay in bed and chatted till 5am+ before falling asleep. Almost like the poly days when Kuang stayed in my home for awhile during holidays! It felt really great, especially after the misery of the past few days.

Saturday (07 Feb), 7.30am, left Ed's home along with him and his family, and met XiaoheiJac for breakfast and to go for our lessons together, since her home was just about next to Ed's. It was nice having company travelling to school, cos we can chitchat, haha :) Lesson was boring and i was tired from having just 1 and half hrs sleep the night before, but then i received another invitation from Kuang for mahjong. Said i'm ok with it as long as he manages to find ka and place to play, cos my bro was working night shift that day so couldn't play at my home. At first i thought i could get on with my original plans to go home and sleep like a log after lunch with XiaoheiJac, Joey, and Doreen, cos i doubted we could get enough ka. But the outcome was great. Not only did i enjoy a nice lunch where we talked abit of rubbish here and there with some laughs here and there, including textbooks and stuff, but kuang actually managed to find ka for mahjong which was at....... Ed's home again!! So i told XiaoheiJac we can travel back together again ha ha ha and then we were on our way. At causeway point, met kuang for his lunch and accompanied XiaoheiJac to Singtel shop to change her new but defective phone, then went to Ed's home. Ed said "Welcome home!" and i, "我回來了!" So fun hahaha. So i bathed while we waited for kuang's ex-colleague to arrive. Macham my own home sia. We managed to finish one round and kuang's colleague had to leave for her dinner, so the 3 of us continued playing 3person mahjong. WAH SEH really very different, but quite fun to play once in a while, i guess. We had Char kway Teow dinner which Ed's mum bought for us and ended our last round at 9pm+, i had won another $45 from the normal mahjong and $40 from our 3person mahjong. Cabbed to Jurong with Ed cos he was meeting Jolene. Haiya, earlier on i wanted to pay for our Char Kway Teow dinner but Ed insisted it was ok, so i offered to pay the cab fare in full but i got off first and all my notes were $50 ones except for a $10 note, so although it was majority of the fare, Ed still had to top up a few dollars from his coffers. Making myself a mental note to give Ed a treat next time we meet ;)

Sunday (08 Feb), slept like a log from 11pm last night till close to 12noon today. Was lazy to get up so i played Sudoku with my Nokia phone for awhile, before getting up to wash up, have lunch and go shopping. Kuang, Qimei, and Wanling are visiting me today!! I jio-ed them for a small reunion dinner at my home today la, originally should have already done so on Chu4, but it was postponed to Chu11 and then again to today due to circumstances. Pity Jimmy couldn't come today though. I enjoy seeing them at my home again because Kuang and Wanling are in mum's good books, hehehe :) If and when i have my own home one day, i'm definitely gonna jio my friends to visit me all the time, hahaha, i pity my future wife, if ever i get married. Hmm, i think that's all for now, Jialat la Arsenal drew their game again today... Tsk :(

Sad.. but.. Peace

01 Feb 2009, Sunday

Whoaa~ Peace.

Wasn't expecting one of my previous posts to somehow possibly escalate into a war of words. Only just noticed and read a blog entry dated last friday which seriously, deeply, deeply saddens me...... I guess it's natural for ppl to defend themselves... but the things and accusations written seriously breaks my heart. Anyway, while i'm going to explain myself here again, the words are not meant to hurt. I feel inclined to explain myself after all the things we've wrote in our previous posts.

Dear friend assumed i was furious with her for spoiling MY mahjong game - that's a wrong assumption. (My? Goodness me...) My anger on that day stemmed from the fact that people were taken for granted. Here's how...

1. The choices given to the other party... "Quit the mahjong game now and meet me or breakup and i'll go up and make a din". Going to someone else's home make a din? And somehow that was at a point where everybody thought the issue had come to a temporary standstill, because dear friend had told us blah blah blah never mind this and never mind that... And yet... things had to turn out the way it had. If your guy had half the temper or dignity as mine or many others, what would've been the consequences for the owner? I think it's pretty apparent that if it had happened, the owner would never ever be able to jio any of her friends to her home anymore... and from what we were told, that wouldn't be limited to the few of us, but the rest of her many friends whom we don't even know.

2. Dear friend thinks things like "at most the mahjong session gets cancelled and postponed to another day". HOWEVER, by thinking in that way, were we not, as friends, being taken for granted...? (By the way FYI we DID continue with the mahjong game by getting another ka, it's not about the game... It's about you.) *sigh* Again, this is not meant to attack dear friend...

3. Based on dear friend's assumption that i was angry due to the "cancellation" of the mahjong game, she further implied that i valued mahjong above friendships. If that were so, (1) on Chu3, there was another last min cancellation because (edited) a friend couldn't come owing to circumstances, what did i reply? "Haha ok ok nvm ;)" i wasn't upset at all, because they didn't wait till we had gathered to do so. (2) if i am really like that, i wouldn't even have left Qimei's home on our gathering day for my colleague friends dinner. If i was like that, why the hell should i even forsake the mahjong games to travel from Tampines to Admiralty for a simple dinner.

Dear friend... As a teenager in my younger days, i'd read the Bible about 3 times over, and attend some services myself, even though as a personal choice i chose not to convert. If you would bother to read that previous post again, i said nothing to imply what Christians would or would not do, that is not what the faith is about. I merely tried to explain things to you with what little knowledge i have because i felt you needed reminding, and i definitely did not say that you're not a good enough Christian or whatsoever... Attack me if you will when i do or say something wrong, i am man enough to hold my hands up and admit my faults honorably, i will even apologise and change my behaviour if that was so, but these are unfounded accusations, whether written in spite i do not nor want to know... because if it was for the purpose of turning others against me, i would feel even more hurt with the way things are between us. I sincerely hope that is not the case...

Remember i wrote the following statement in my last post? I guess i'll have to put certain words in bold to clarify and emphasize what i was saying...
"I'm writing this to both of you because as a friend, i care for you, and it bugs me to see you on the verge of displaying inappropriate behaviour without any regard for the consequences and consideration for other people."

Dear friend... You were displaying inappropriate behaviour. If i do not care for you, i would not even bother attempting to tell you what is right or wrong. If i do not care for you, it's just a simple matter of shutting up and letting you continue with that kind of behaviour, and for that i wouldn't even cross you or need to explain myself here. To simplify my example, i shall explain in layman terms in exaggeration. Let's say one day a friend of mine tells me he wishes to rob a bank. As a friend, i could (1) advise, scold, try everything in my means to stop him because of the implications of this action for the rest of his life, or (2) i could just smile and bochup, do my own stuff, cos it doesn't implicate me and that's not really my problem.

You feel that i was inconsiderate to you for writing those things. If that was the case, I'm sorry and i sincerely apologise... But i still stand by what i've said. All i can say is... 忠言逆耳. i can do nothing to make it sound nicer.

Next thing i need to defend myself against... On whether mahjong is a hobby... It's funny because i dun really see what's the issue here. Firstly, when we jio ppl to play mahjong with us, naturally we assume that each of us are mature enough to manage our own finances, no? "Should i play today? How much can i afford to lose if this was a bad day?"

Again, i don't really know why the issue was brought up, because we have played 2/4 for so long, each time everyone of us were keen and eager to play, yourself inclusive, right until about 1 - 2 hrs before you declared that you're quitting mahjong because you've lost. From the day you did so, i respected your decision and stopped jioing you. Even when we were desperately 3 que 1, i did not, even for a single time, attempt to coax you to join us. I have never held any persons at gun or knife point and said "Come play mahjong 3/6 with me!!!"

The higher kang, bite, and zi mo rates were implemented more frequently because having tried them with ppl like kuang, hz, sheena, we felt the special rules made it more fun. Everyone has the same kang, bite chances, no?

I must admit, i'm more of a 3/6 or 1/5 ka, the rate which i sometimes and preferably play with my colleagues and other friends. That said, if i play only for the $, not for the fun, i wouldn't even bother playing 2/4 with you all. Go see if you can find any other 3/6, 1/5 ka who's willing to play 2/4? I don't write cheques, nor am i rich enough to throw in gold bars or houses. But I am sensible enough to manage my finances and decide with the other players what rates we're comfortable playing with. Mahjong to me IS a hobby, not OT, my friend. I have, for your info, lost $70+ to $130+ on occasions during my higher stake games. Hz knows, kuang knows, my colleagues know. But the wins and losses even out pretty ok, though a little more on the losing end in recent times and i'm not even the least bitter on occasions where i lose that kind of money, because i had fun.

Lastly... I still treasure our friendship alot, i have explained myself, wherever i have offended or upsetted you, i beg for your forgiveness, as i hope you would for others. I wish we could meet to talk sometime too, if you would have it...... Peace, my friend

A Brilliant Conversation

28 Jan 2009, Wednesday

I received this from an email. Again, i'm no Christian and I personally think that both sets of arguments are flawed but despite that, Wanna share it because as an on-the-spot-argument it's simply brilliant!! Hahaa!! Funny!

------------------------------------------
An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem that Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes. Professor : So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)

Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

(Student had no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes,Faith. And that is the Problem that Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.

(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of Something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . . But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't measurable. If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?

Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing. Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?

Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor, Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

(The Class broke out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . . No one appears to have done so. So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that You have No Brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly! The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

That student was Albert Einstein.

Little updates

28 Jan 2009, Wednesday

It's 12:30am!! I should be sleeping now cos later gotta go work, but somehow dun feel like doing so too quickly so might as well write abit bah, hahaa :)

After the supershiok pre-CNY weekend filled with 2 overnight mahjong sessions and a 2hr+ basketball session, yours monkeyly woke up with body aches all over on CNY eve Sunday 4+pm... Had my family reunion steamboat dinner (which still tastes exactly the same despite all these years) at about 6pm+, after which i decided to search for some old games to play in my laptop whilst waiting for the Cardiff vs Arsenal game at 9.30pm to start. At first wanted to play Lulu2, but ended up playing Destiny of an Emperor instead. Terrible terrible decision... cos ended up playing thru the whole Sunday night till 7am!

After the Arsenal game, suddenly realised that my handphone was running low on battery power so wanted to recharge it... But i couldn't find my phone charger!! I'd left it in Sarah's home during the mahjong session on fri... And i didn't realise it even though i was there again on Saturday night!! Terrible... Hahaha :p Oh well, so now using the Nokia phone which was my present from NPS fellas few years ago. Luckily still got backup ;)

While online, i jio-ed Dejun and Zhaorong to see whether they wanted to come out on Chu1, maybe to catch a movie or what. At first both said they should be free, but somehow sotong realised she wasn't free at that time like she'd told me earlier, so i decided to wait till Chu1 itself before confirming whether to ask Zhaorong on that day. LUCKILY i decided that way... Cos of playing game overnight perhaps, i woke up at Chu1 early noon with a niggling headache. Was bored and didn't feel like going out, so i also decided to forfeit the talked-about-with-Sheena-but-not-confirmed-mahjong-session-to-be and not prompt her about it. Continued playing Destiny of an Emperor till i completed it at about midnight. Finished the game in just less than 2 days... but at the cost of not doing anything else... LOL :p Would still have preferred not getting the headache and being outside with friends though.

Chu 2, woke up with the headace still pounding lightly against my head, but still dragged myself to visit my relatives anyway. This year there's much less ppl around than previous years, cos many of my cousins are overseas doing their stuff, and some of my uncles/aunties had already left us in previous years. I miss those CNY gatherings we had when i was young... It was so full of life, people, and warmth. I seriously doubt i'll ever get to enjoy another one like that again. How i wish i'd realised this when i was much younger!! Would've treasured them much more instead of dreading them... Hope no one else has to go thru the same thing as me! Treasure your family gatherings huh!!! Haha :p

Speaking of going overseas, yours monkeyly is also tempted to jump to another platform at work that offers the opportunity to go to San Diego. Shiok huh!! Not too sure about it yet though, cos of the bond involved. Shall decide on coming Thursday after going for their recruitment talk and finding out more.

Hmmm... I guess overall Chu1 and Chu2 was rather boring for me bah!! Thankful for the friday-to-Saturday fun though~ ^^

Little updates and something for the 2 of you

24 Jan 2008, Saturday

Looking back at the past few weeks, got abit of mixed feelings. On one hand, i'm quite satisfied with the amount of reading i'd done, i read 2 books that i'd borrowed early this month ("Eragon", and "Chronicles of Ancient Darkness". After finishing Eragon, i then bought (and also read) the series of The inheritance cycle - Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr - because all of the copies of Eldest and Brisingr in the libraries' were either on loan or on queue, so i tot might as well buy the whole series since i really enjoyed the first. It's funny, cos originally i only wanted to borrow Lord of the Rings but couldn't find it, and then i happened to stumble upon the above mentioned books so i snapped them up instead.

At work, was a very unhappy Dec and early Jan preparing and going thru the audits. And then somehow i had to endure some injustice at work. Then on the day of my first lesson of the sem, something happened that caused a rift between my brother and myself, and causing distress to mum in the process. So in that sense it was really bad...

For the rest of the past week though, things seem to have picked up. Was on course at work and the mood there was generally quite relaxed and light due to upcoming CNY. Finally got some holiday mood after so long!!!!!!! Played Mahjong last night and basketball today noon with friends, and i really enjoyed everything! It's great to be having fun and also play some form of sport after not exercising for so long, though i'd have preferred to play soccer. Well, that's a start anyway!!

Somehow last night got abit involved in a quarrel between a pair of my couple friends. At first, i'd taken sides with one of them because of the consequences leading to the quarrel, which was quite unfortunate (shit the bloody boss) and probably abit brainless of the other party, but then something happened afterwards that totally swayed my "loyalties" to the other side.

For 2 of you
It's one thing to throw a tantrum or what, which most people do when they're upset and angry, and quite another to decide on doing unpleasant things like threatening to make a scene at someone else's place at that time just because you're feeling vengeful or you're not willing to feel miserable while the other party, under your presumption, is "immersed in having fun". For your info, that person arrived in quite a sad mood and wasn't even able to concentrate on playing. That's what you wanted, issit? I'll be so honest as to let you know that it took me all of my resolve to prevent myself from scolding you over the phone when you told me the "choices" you gave to the other person, if there actually was any. It was really inconsiderate and unreasonable. If you really love or hold any amount of care or respect for the other party, you should never attempt to hurt that person, or give unreasonable demands like that. When you seek to hurt, there's only hate, not love. Both of you need to be more mature in the way you communicate and do things. I loathe to advise people, especially friends, to break up. But IF the other person is really everything you cannot tolerate, be it level of commitment or sensitivity or the person's preferences in everyday life like meeting friends or whatever, then go ahead and do so. When people get into relationships, it doesn't mean they will or must definitely be together for life - they learn more about each other everyday, even if they dun notice - because human beings change all the time, albeit slowly, due to all kinds of reasons like new environments, friends, hobbies, whatever, and then they decide if that person is right for them at some point. Since i seem to only notice suffering in your relationship, then maybe it's time to move on. People enjoy long and lasting relationships through giving and loving each other; the experiences and time spent together are gifts, not obligations.
No one is obligated to entertain.
No one is obligated to give in to demands.
No one is obligated to spend time with anyone else.
No one is obligated to tame the resentments of anybody else.
Like i say, any of these things, if they're given or done, are gifts, not obligations. That's why people are happy when they receive them, and why i say there's no point in demanding them. If as i know you're still attending churches, then i would say this - Unreasonable demands and vengefulness are not the ways of the lord - it spreads enmity and distrust, not acceptance and love, and it won't get you anywhere near what you want, though it's probably funny for a non-christian like me to be saying this (edit: Not written in spite.. but just to clarify that i'm not a Christian... therefore sounds funny/weird for me to say "the lord" or what. Sorry for the poor english). Happiness would never come to you by hurting one another or being vengeful. Think. I dun care if from this point onwards you condemn me or what, but i shall admit that i am absolutely furious and angry with you now, and rightly so. I'm not obligated to be friendly - it's my right to do whatever i deem fit. I'm writing this to both of you because as a friend, i care for you, and it bugs me to see you on the verge of displaying inappropriate behaviour without any regard for the consequences and consideration for other people.

Little updates... and Fascinations

12 Jan 2009, Monday

Finally the first stress period of the year is over, because thankfully the auditing waves have passed without much damage. Huge pang of relieve!! ;)

Last week, many people seemed to be affected by the weather or something, heard many complains on bouts of headaches and stuff like that. Yours monkeyly was affected too, though most unfortunately mine had to happen over the weekend, of all times!! Haiya, but serves me right too la, for playing overnight mahjong after work on friday despite my condition... Hur hurr hurr... Because of that, decided to not to meet Yy and co. at Holland V on Saturday evening even though i missed them, since the headache was knocking against my head like some kind of Hangover that had nothing to do with alcohol, so wasn't really in the mood anyway. Moreover, it was already 6pm+ when i'd finally got out of bed from my day's sleep. Having already finished reading the last chapter of "Eragon - Inheritance" before going to sleep at 9am (Saturday), but not yet quenching my thirst for reading, i chucked my phone in my room and started on "Chronicles of Ancient Darkness - Omnibus" - a book with 3 of its series in one, while randomly having dinner, surfing the internet, watching tv all at the same time. I quite like the stories, especially "Wolf Brother". Not sure why, but somehow i'm almost always more drawn to the first story than the others when they come in series... It was the same for the Harry Potter series, maybe it's the freshness of it all? Dunno, Haha :p

Coincidentally, both "Eragon" and "Wolf Brother" held the most fascinating and touching descriptions of the bond between the lead characters and their "pets". Such was the loyalty, fondness, devotion and many other unspoken things that they held for each other! And the hurt they felt when the other was taken from them, even if only for a short time. Whenever other characters came along, they were like intruders upon the private world of kinship. I might as well have said "Lightbulbs" for (your) better understanding... hahaha :)

Looking forward to the next books in both series!!

Next, wanna talk about more fascinations of mine, for 2 remarkable ladies that i've held for the past 2 weeks or so. Vivian Chow and Tarcy Su!! Speaking of them, the First things that come to minds of many people would be "chiobu", "Yu Nu", or maybe even "Lao zar bor"... Hur hurr hurr :p Yes yes... Of course guys only talk about chiobu all the time... But together, these two have reminded me of some things that we rarely see nowadays - one of virtue and values, another of how mesmerizing and charming women can remain if they want to, even at that age.

How and where to start! Maybe from Vivian... the dream girl of all 60s, 70s and early 80s guys, still pretty even at her age of 41 (i think). More importantly, her forgiving, good nature, loyalty, and willingness to stand by her man despite him being a cheating bastard. Forgive me for being sentimental, but she deserves better, this charming lady... all others can only stand aside and sigh~ for it really is such a pity, though i still praise her from the bottom of my heart, because speaking of this reminds me of how fickle and realistic the rest of the world has become. I understand when people get together for company and stuff, to find meaningful relationships and companionship, but of marriage, How many people really understand the meaning of marriage vows when they say it? Have they grown to love each other so much that they really mean to protect, care for, and love the other person no matter what happens in future when they say these vows? For example if he/she becomes crippled, blind, or maybe even a simpler case being unable to provide stature and luxuries? Or do they get married because "the time has come"? Under the circumstances, I'm sure Vivian knows what she's committing to, and why she wants to do it, despite many objections from many others on her decision, which is why my admiration for her can only grow. Seems like marriage for many other people is just a case of "a phase in life", "must accomplish before age of __", and stuff like that... Simply said, it has become rotten. And that makes it sad for idealistic people, because no, for us marriage is about love and care, and the fondness and eternal bond between 2 persons, more when children comes along, of course. Having read Eragon, i wish elven language really exists, for no lies can be said in that form...... Owww, i'm being sentimental again. Back to the next lao chiobu la!! Hahaa :p

Next! Tarsy Su (perhaps better known as Su hui lun). To be honest, i never really was a fan of hers. Might even say i quite disliked her in my younger days cos of songs like lemon tree and duck (Ya zi). Last week, though, i watched her on a variety show "Zhou ri kuang re ye". It was suddenly so nice to hear her singing, and she exudes a charm like never before... Mature, singing voice and body language full of genuine feelings, and stuff that i can hardly describe with my limited range of vocabulary. I guess it helped that 2 of the songs she sang really draws out sentiments in me. Like xiaopang, i wanna put both my hands on my face and let her continue mesmerize and serenade my senses. It's kind of weird that after indulging in the cutesy of the likes of Charlene (of Twins) for weeks, i suddenly find myself drawn to the charm of these more mature ladies. The charisma they exude in such amounts and excess despite their age!! and Who said growing old was bad...!! ;)

Wowww long post after so much silence wor... Hahaha. By the way, i wanna eat my words and declare myself a noob and carrot instead of pro in mahjong... Cos recently seems to keep losing? Hahaha, oh well whatever!! I'm still spending less than i would if i keep going out! :) That's all for now folks~

New Year Mahjong Lesson!!!!

01 Jan 2009, Thursday

Happy New Year my friends!!!! Wish u all a fruitful and blessed year ahead! :)

Last night, went to Janet's home for New Year's Eve gathering with my ex-project mates from SIM. Was quite a pity that Joey couldn't turn up though cos its just 4 of us in a group, so short of any one would make a big difference. And then Xiaohei.Jac went home quite early after the countdown cos with the guys playing mahjong, only left her and Janet entertaining each other. Haiya, before meeting them, i was expecting to chit chat abit with 3 of them before and after the mahjong sessions lo.

Speaking of mahjong session, really very gek sim wor~~~ Today afternoon was speaking to one of the mahjong pros in my flight, and i learnt a new tip to lose less when u can't win - "if your next ka appears to be playing Qing Yi Se and your own cards sucks, then go on and feed him/her until gao jiong then stop... so that the next 2 ka are not free to play their game, and the game would likely to end inconclusively or someone tiok-bao."

And so the story goes - After a nice steamboat dinner, i played mahjong with Janet's husband and his friends big Jack and small Jack (We were playing 5/1 = 5tai $16/$32), that rate made me feel quite nervous cos seldom play so much. I got off to a good start though, where i had already won games including the only 5 tai so far. So in one of the subsequent games, i decided to try the above mentioned method when my cards were not so nice... This method is actually super effective cos after gaojiong the other 2 ka were complaining and obviously playing guard against my down ka which was big jack. ALAS!!!! Flowers came and my cards became quite nice after I took a few more cards, and after my own 5 tai, i was feeling lucky and couldn't resist the temptation to ride on my luck and play the 12th card although i only had 3 tai... and big Jack really eat it!! Then i really "!!!!". Wasn't expecting him to eat it lo... Was thinking with my winnings so far if i throw to him hu only $64, which means i could afford to play the card to him so that i had the chance to game myself. Wah lau wey who knows he nvr hu at that point but went on to eat liao then after that zi-mo!! =_=''' So i lost $105 in that round instead. After i "lost my luck to him" in this way, big Jack become super wang and in the next game i tiok fang qiang another mixed-colour 5 tai to him. He zi-mo another 4 tai and i also fang qiang to the other 2 kas. Total loss of luck!!! Wah lau wey liddat nia hor my losses had already accumulated to $100+++, i think maybe close to $200 liao. I tiok suan dao siao lo for becoming feeder and shooter... hahahaa :p And they all wanted to become my next down ka. So i kicked myself for being overcomed by the "ex-Jianqi syndrome" and subsequently composed myself and started playing my normal game from our 2nd round onwards, which meant proper guarding and cards forming with very little "Bonuses" for my down ka. Not sure if they realised that though cos their impression of me is already our last time's impression of Jianqi liao, HAHAA :p Oops! Yupz, playing my normal game, i started winning back all the $ and at one point i think i actually overturned the deficit to slight profits. We finished 3 full rounds from 10pm++ to 3am++... At the end of everything though, my end result was a loss of $30 la, but that's very little compared to my initial losses. Just another 4tai hu and i would've fully overturned the deficit. I realise i'm actually quite pro liao... Hur hurr hurr~~~ Lao wang mai gua. Janet's husband broke even, and small Jack lost $120. If only i hadn't killed my luck with that rash action huh... Should have won quite alot lo, hahaha. Well, part of experience la!!!! The above-mentioned method requires one's character and style to be suited for it... And with my "Arsenal" character, i'm definitely not suitable to play it!! So today considered learn alot lo ;)

Now gonna bath and sleep... Later should be going to workplace to settle some unfinished business and maybe join Sheena & Co. for a trip to the science centre! I hope to have fun!! Haha ;)

Meh li quiz mez!!! ;)

25 Dec 2008, Wednesday

Hihi my friends~ Meh li quiz mez!!! ;)

WOWWW it's been a month since my last post? i didn't realise that!! Oh well, hasn't really been fantastic for me anyway...... Especially this week! While seemingly everybody else has had the privilege of being basked in festive mood and happily meeting up family and friends, Yours Monkeyly has had to endure an intriguingly sucky week full of OT. Just look at my work hours for this week!!

Monday - 6:45am to 9:45pm
Tuesday - 6:45am to 7:00pm
Wednesday = X'mas eve - 6:45am to 1pm (That's only after i risked my head to call my superior for permission to get the next shift to come in early... AND to add insult to that everyone else were off for the whole day due to an event they were supposed to attend in the morning but was cancelled due to weather)
Thursday = Today = X'mas - 5:30am to 7pm
Friday = Tmr - 5:30am to god knows what time......
Saturday = 7am to 1pm if nothing suay happens...

Sianzz week lo!!!! All thanks to the stupid audits that's coming to us in early Jan... Kills all the festive mood in us. Dunno who plan this kind of stupid timing to have them... Idiot(s). I'm definitely going to regret missing out on the gatherings with my friends this X'mas...... How the hell do they justify compensating us with only equivalent off days to losing these kind of company with loved ones? Irritating lo.

Hmm hmm but on the plus plus side i got some nice gifts this month! It's pretty rare that i'd get gifts that i really really like... To be honest the only one in my whole life that i can remember being reeeeally happy about was the ukelele!! I guess i'm kind of fussy! But this month alone, i actually got 2 gifts which made me really really really happy!!! Special thanks to Dan, Sheena, Dejun and Jeremy Poh!!! I actually wanna talk about the gifts but they're so nice and simple yet fascinating (to me la)... and i want to do them justice...!! Wait till i'm more free then write a post with pictures bah!!!

Of course wanna wanna thanks the rest too who went through alot of efforts to get me nice gifts and celebrations too... Like Joey Janet XiaoheiJac and the rest of you out there la! Hahaa :p Xie Xie!!! Love u all ;)

Take care my friends and happy holidays~!!! :)
