three guys and a girl

Date: 5th May 2008

Day: Monday

Venue: Home

As promised in my earlier entry...

The braders organised a not-so-surprise birthday party for our dear sister's birthday. Haha...cool girl, you are now older and surely, wiser. Afa had earlier planned a superb birthday surprise for his beloved fiancee, Lily but sadly, it was a long day for all and thus, we juz had the privately singing of the birthday sogn and of course a session of camwhoring. It was fun as usual and due to everyone's busy schedule, we had to spill the celebration to last Sat where we caught Ironman. Sorry again Mel for the punk...but it was all in the name of good fun! Lol!

Ok..back to today...it was as usual the plain boring Sunday. Accompanied Yanie to her photo shoot at Bugis where she apparently had to soak herself in a Korean outfit. The same girl who was having second thoughts about the shoot came out relieved two hours later. (Ok, it was a miserable wait for me. Plus, the no-waiting policy was abit sucky and not welcomed! Hmph!) After that, we went to Sim Lim cos she wanted to get a mouse for herself - one tat emits different colours. How cool can tat be! How I wish i can add some lightings to my lappy like those days wen Ah Bengs (i was a supporter of the technology) modified their old E T10 ot wat not with running lights of different colours. The rest of the evening was juz strolling down Orchard Road and finally, dinner at KFC at Taka. Thanks, I had a great time and of course, a well-informed chatting session! (:

So... tml will be another week. I can just hope for the better. I was glad that Dily msg-ed me earlier to tell me she was at JB, where she later went past my lovely kampung there with her family. (Say hi next time ok... haha!) Later..at night... chatted with her for awhile where I learnt that she dun let anyone touch her! haha! Fair enuf lor! I aim at ur braces then even at the risk of getting that elbow of urs! Lol!

Same resolution for the week - JOB! Pls..pls..pls! (:

Till then.

Love,

merchant of death

It was one of the routine of the brothers (and sister, of course) to go for a movie outing and what can it be if not for the latest blockbuster - Ironman. Met Afa and Lily at Cine soon after Afa's MC paper and mel joined later after work. Supper was at LJS and we had so much fun wen the real fun haven even started. (:

All along, Mel was bluffed into believing that we are going to watch Dance of the Dragon and he was like super boring. Earlier on I told him that we are catchin Ironman so naturally when we told him of the change in 'plan', he was feeling so sian. All the way from waitig for the movie to start to sitting down and passed all advertisements prior to the movie, he tot it was gonna be the half-star movie! Lol! But when the Marvel word came out at the start of the movie, he was wadduh! Haha! Gotcha!

So the movie when on well. Miss Dily told me earlier that it gonna be fun but being me (I have a weird taste for movies), I was not tat positive about it. But it turn out really GOOD! The balance of comedy and action was there and the compactness and complexity of the graphic effects were superb! The plot was well written and I really could understand the movie tho I never read the comic version before. I would personally give the movie 4.5 out of 5. Hehe! The short of 0.5 is for being too short! Lol!

(:

So wats next? The Hulk? Maybe. Maybe not. First thing first, wat Im doin tml? For now, im unoccupied. Lol! I'll update you guys soon with some pics from Lily's bday.

Till then.

Love,

maybe...for you!

Didn't you want to hear

the sound of all the places we could go

Do you fear

the expressions on the faces we don't know

It's a cold hard road when you wake up

and I don't think that I

Have the strength to let you go

Maybe it's just me,

Couldn't you believe that everything

I said and did, wasn't just deceiving

And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face

makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

There goes my ring

It might as well have been shattered

and I'm here to sing about the things that mattered

about the things that made us feel alive for oh so long

about the things that kept you on my side when I was wrong

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe

that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving

And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face

makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

And someday, I promise I'll be gone

And someday, I might even sing this song

To you, I might even sing this song, to you

and I was crying alone tonight

and I was wasting all of my life just thinking of you

So just come back we'll make it better

So Just come back

I'll make it better than it ever was

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe

that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving

And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face

makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe

that everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving

And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face

makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

( I want it all, Don't leave right now)

(I'll give you everything)

As u are reading this, I guess I shud haf finish my long swim across the causeway and probably, even dozing off under the shady verandah. Cheap cigarettes, clean morning air, good breakfast and cheap thrills are practically narcotic. Simple irresistable they say! Well, I dunno. You shud try someday. (:

So 24 hours in JB...been long since I slept at the rocking bed of mine there. Haha! It is suppose to be my parent's retirement nest and for us, a destination to get used to for future weekend visits. Hmm...so long I dun take the public transport there, I am happy. The setting of the JB town represent Singapore in the 70s where the shophouse are near breakdowna nd the flat are as good as a concrete jungle - literally.

I cant stay long cos I gotta by supper and watch the next semi-final between Chelsea and Liverpool. It doesnt mke any difference who Red Devils will meet cos we WILL WIN! Ok...enuf said, I will update u guys again of the wonderful May Day that I gonna spend in JB (i hope!!!).

Till then...miss me if u wan to but tell me to prepare for my eyes to twitch. Haha! Miss D will surely say NO but Im sure my bros will! Mel..thanx fer today's paitao session. But its ok bro...next time pls wake up le. (:

" Across the ocean the fish swim,

Left behind a bag of something;

Now as the light begins to dim,

Close your eyes and feel the missing. "

Love,

it's all about you.

MORNING LATEST

Manchester United 1 - Barcelona 0

"Glory, glory Man United!"

I am just estatic that my team won. Now, left to fend the Premiership.

Haha! Why am i even posting this on my blog.

Amidst the mundane life, I finally have something to cheer about.

Ok...meeting sher and mel later. Probably heading to my second nest at JB for the May Day.

Gonna miss you!

Love,

If you call for me now, I'll be there.

Ha-fish!!!

Or once again... Hafish!

" Hail the king of the underwater,

Love him well but never falter;

Take his attention and ring the bell,

For he will always come if the intention is well. "

yeh!

till then...

(:

santai yang ngetop!

Hey people! I'm back!

Haha!

This entry gonna be a long one where I will walk you through a week's worth of fun and adventure, something you most prob wudnt get here in lion city.

Phew! Tat was tiring but it was fun. Bali was great - the people, culture, food and most importantly, the way of life. It is something that you cant get in Singapore where everything is like so organised and everyone is in the rat race whether ur happy or not. There, people ride on the horse carriages, man the stalls even tho theres no patron and make a lifestyle out of the beach.

It was great having the company of Mel, Afa and Yanren. Of coz, my room buddy Mel, haf to endure the snoring and antics of mine but overall it was kinda a 9/10 outing for us. We had been on a couple of vacations before but this is surely the most happening. Hmm... first would be the second day. Its watersport day - scuba diving and wakeboarding. Nobody said it was easy and really, it was not! Diving was a challenge for me and thanks to the effort, I lost my hearing ability in my right ear due to the excessive pressure on my ear drum. (For those who neva dive, the pressure is like how u go onboard a flight but the difference is ur underwater. Haha!) I hope this gonna be temporary and i think i gonna see the doc realli soon. :( The wakeboarding session was also great...bravo to those who can stand on on board but multiple unsuccessful tries are common i guess, esp for beginners. And the Indian Ocean doesnt help that much with the strong currents and unfrenly waves!

The next day was a shopping day! I guess shopping is juz ordinary and nothing much was on my attention. But i had to buy some clothes tho cos I went there literally empty-handed except for my lappy and my handphone charger. Haha! I got to admit the nightlife there is quite distributed so there wasnt a certain area where we cud haf a buffet of clubs to choose from except that we need to find our way there ourselves.

We were lucky to get a guide, Eko, to lead us around after the first day of unsuccessful attempt to rent our own bike. haha! The traffic there is superb. It would be cool if you could find more than 3 traffic lights and find 2 petrol kiosks. Haha! Horning was a normal thing there and traffic is very chaotic esp during peak hours but the strange thing, accident seldom happen. If you would every need to top-up the petrol, do it anywhere you can find. This includes roadside shops where they store petrol in a 1 litre Vodka bottle for Rp 5000! Try tat in Singpore and chances are you might be prosecuted! (:

Bali is a city of modern civilisation but yet the culture and tradition still restored. There are many dances that represent the strong balinese presence. Saw one altho we planned to watch two of the more infamous ones. We watched ketchak dance at dawn and it was very fascinating.

You see ppl going into trance and the sidelines of performers going "ketchak" for the next one hour, it was great.But juz then. (:

So for now, back to the normal life.

Dunno when the next trip will be.

Ireland sept for convocation? I hope so.

Bangkok end of yr? Anyone game for a shopping spree?

Till then.

(:

bon voyage

the time has come.
the moment I have been waiting for.
the D-day that I haf been planning for months now.

Kuta, Bali.
my location for this week or so.
(:

take care ppl.

i'll keep u guys updated wen i come back.
hehe!

P/S: keep tat smile on, Miss D. hehe! see ya wen i come back ayte?

of patience and virtue

Have you ever slept at 4am and den, woke up at 8am to the ringing of the alarm clock
but only with the feeling of smashing it with a sledge hammer?

Have you ever dream of waking up to a table full of delicious breakfast - cereals, tuna spreads, bacon, toast, orange juice, etc - laid out infront of u?

Have you ever want to receive a call so much telling you that you are employed
and getting paid at the end of the month?

Have you ever thought that the sun wasn't shining too hot that
you are sweating and it pissed you off?

Have you ever wish that you should have gone home and sleep
instead of staying out waiting for 7pm?

And, have you ever wish that you cud admire someone and be allowed to
like her for who she is and tell her "Have I told you today that i love you".

The last one sounds familiar. But where? I can't make up any idea. Realli.

Cheers!

14th April 2008 @ 1514hrs
i'm home on my bed.
empty.bored.optimistic.

today.
school's reopen for those still stuck to their books.
another start of the week for those money-earners.
for me, its juz another day. so its monday issit?
haah!

i was thinking of some things i will be doing sometime soon.
4 more days to Bali...relax & recover.
its gonna be fun i hope.
a time to re-strengthen the bond of friendship - old and new.
i was thinking of getting back to work soon after tat.
ouh...earn money, overtime, yada yada! hmph!

friendship is such a poking subject to talk about.
i took sometime to think...deep enuf, of past and present.
i'm glad i had my buddies with me all this while.
i'm thankful also to some others who are there day or night.
i told myself sometime ago not to look behind at the good old memories but
somehow i'm thinking about it now.
but why? argh!

excitement often sets in abruptly. or i thought so.
many may not share the same way i think or see.
yeah, tat date was fine from start to end with no major hiccups.
then i thought i might have found something.
something tat i might look for all along?
haah! or maybe not. i'm juz hallucinating.
if ur reading this now, dun think too much cos
wad i found, i will never mention. (:

6 out of 10

So impromptu was realli one. I din planned for it but the entry is there for everyone's judgement and enjoyment. Realli, let it be. (:

Had a long journey yesterday to a place of the island i dun always go but it was worthwhile. Met Miss D at you-know-where and chatted for the first time. I got to admit, it was not much of difference than our countless virtual encounters. I enjoyed it. So, we headed to bugis for dinner and shisha session (sorry, i din wan u to haf flu actualli. hehe!) with the ever lovely Sher and Nur. Ok...gotta admit the 3 of us were crazy abit..noisy i shud say. Miss D was as cool as ever. Ok.. a lil quiet i should say but i have no complains cos she is juz being herself. I was also mellow tho there are more crazier things tat can come out of me but the occasion doesnt warrant for it. teehee!

Conclusion was it was ok. She gave a rating of 6/10 which i think is fair enuf. So will there be a second time? I do hope so much but school's starting tml. Haf fun at school.

For me, 5 more days to Bali and im so excited.

To Miss D, thank you! I enjoyed last night. (:

" It is the only way to show others about urself and maybe, to impress them or to show your feelings for them - by being urself. "

impromptu

did u realli din see me or,

did u keep an eye blind?

it doesnt matter anyway cos

the one beside is nothing compared to me.

im superior i shud say...more successful maybe.

i dun compare myself to a young punk.

ur not needed anyway.

i met a jewel along the way yesterday,

picked it up and went around looking for a polisher.

yet, i found one but never did it polishes.

i threw it aside and walk home.

hoping it could shine next time.

but realli, ur needed in many ways.

phew!

Ooook...nobody said it was easy...haha! The bike ride was such a test of face value and courage. I did make it thru tho. hmm, or so i tot. As planned, met mel and afa tho it was abit late but lunch was great. Simple KFC meal but over meaningful rumblings about life and updates of each other. So we be looking forward to next Fri wher we will be in Bali for the next relax-and-recover session. (:

I wasnt successful with the Citi interview but its ok i guess. Received a call for some high level management programme wic i doubt will be of any help to cover up the loss of the Citi interview. But still, I'll be there. If not, thanks afa...I'll join u! haa!

Sometimes, we feel so sorry for the sufferings of the people ard us, esp the one tat we love. The sadness due to the uninvited tornado and typhoon that falls on these people are sometimes just unavoidable. But at most instance, they bring it onto themselves and now, enjoying the bitterness of the aftermath. Ok, I'm being too blunt here but realli, it helps at time to be content with wat u haf and work against any bad influences.

Tml weekends again...i dunno wat i gonna do. hmm, wake up late (of course!) and maybe, call Miss D (am i doin it too often?) and dunno, meet her/mel/afa (i doubt so!)? Realli..its all still vague now. See wat comes tml. At worst,I'll be cuddling myself in bed...not! haha!

Till then...

Thank you my bros for the wonderful lunchtime...

and Miss D for waiting for my call and of coz, you know...

ungrateful loads

More often than not, i tell myself tat life is never wat ew wanted to be. Nobody said we muzturn out to be a superb and elegant young man and woman but somehow, we never realised ever what made us the way we are. in tat, i agree that life sux! (:

It was never my intention to think of life as this way but somehow, eve the people tat are nearby and those who ahve seen the rise of the great would think otherwise. I was saddened by the tardiness of some people, esp one aprticular person, who can appear the best on one instance and madusa's twin sister on other moment. I came to a conclusion that the feeling of ungratefulness or selfish (not safish), leads one to think like this. I am talking about me passing my license for instance. Yes, thanks to those who congratulate me and thanks too to others who felt I shud haf not passed it. Ungrateful? Maybe.

Itinieary of life has never taken a fixed stance but rather, it will usually change with the wind. License down, so wats next? Today is Friday and TGIF but I a still waiting for tat call. Please i should say but lets hope amke it a good one. Tats the second thing on my wishlist - work.

I had a long convo with Miss D moments ago and I should say, she is a great confidante on phone. No doubt, 'Ella' would be a good callsign for you but somehow, you are juz plan normal and great. I am not emphaisisng this as sign of joy but really, I am grateful for the many late nights rumblings. Errr...so can i see you soon? :P

Today....meet mel and afa for breakfast (thanks guys for staying by my side in this crucial times)....maybe a spin on orchard road and i dunno wat else...

For now, im grateful for wat life has given to me, contented with wat i have achieved and optimistic about the near future.

(Thank u mel and afa....and not forgetting Yayaya!)

swoosh!

urprisingly, despite being occupied with nothing, I have been blessed with many inspirations or rather ideas, to put in entries everyday. I am grateful to a certain D for being there for me in the many sleepless nights and of coz, the efforts at irritating each other.

I got to admit the whole day today was quite boring. Other than practicing for the TP test that I am having in 7 more hours, I was basically lazing on the sofa. I think I will soon develop back sore if I am goin to continue doin this. So wat was on my mind today? Miss D wasnt there..she had her much needed breakaway from the hectic life as a care-bear. Myself, I am having one next week to you-know-where but I gotta admit my mood haf not been good lately. Hence, there will be an urgency to vibe up myself before the trip. (:

But hey, being me, I couldnt juz rest my butt without my mind churning out new ideas of wat to do. The idea of keeping blog as a virtual memory lane for us has brought me to do a simple sketch (above). Its nothing personal (in the name of good fun) haha! And pardon me if it is horrible. I know I sux at tat. Haha!

So wat is it about? The frog represent the lovely Miss D (she wun agree with me but who cares! Haha!) and she is reading a book wic holds so much memories about herself. I know u miss ur old blog so tats the reason for the book. And of coz, the ever crazy me (hafish) as the author. So sit back and enjoy!

P/S: Tomorrow is another boring day. Hope I'll do well in the morning or the kids in the evening better not pissed me off. Haha!

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Have you ever wake up feeling lost but yet, ur contented with life? For me, I guess i am contented with wat life haf given to me and many more.

Thank you to the sea lion for ur invaluable invasion in the earlier post. I am just lad to be ur crazy fren and it has been a memorable & incredible past week we're frogging each other. Hahaha!

Ppl haf fond memories of good and bad things, of wic i haf neva make an effort to keep. Maybe or maybe not, would rather keep it to mysef and nt share with others but here I am on this entry sharing wads happening nw.

But realli, its more than blogging. Its more than the unusual encounters we haf in our lives. Its juz cant be described.

Cest la vie.

- fish -

. sea lion just encroached fishy's territory.

Heyho, Radeo! You’ve just been invaded by who? You know who. Right now, you’re prolly having a good time, sweating outside from head to toe for the interview. Hope everything goes well for you. Well, this is a new template which I’ve made for 3 hours specially for, Fishy-fishy. That’s not the point here, the point is, I hope with this new skin, you’ll have the urge, the emotions, the feel and whatever it is to post.

And thank you fish, for being a crazy friend on most mornings. What’s life without some sense of humour right? Especially last morning, from a mad head-ed dily, she turned into a cool and crazy one again and last, to a sleepy head. Hahahaha! Thank you Fishy-fishy. Appreciate it lots. (:

Signing off,
O_o Sea Lion Woman.
