If weddings are as beautiful as this, I think I will attend everyone of them whenever invited. Although I dream of it myself, I don’t think it will ever come my way. In this clip, Lea Salonga (of Les Miserables fame) and her husband, Rob, exchanged their vows. Sobs~
Archive for May, 2008Ants are very dilligent creatures. They work like crazy and spend very little time pondering what to do next. If they are lost, they just follow the next ant’s trail of… i think it’s saliva. definitely, not cum. wahaha~
I think i want to enjoy myself and share it with those worth sharing. Even though nothing last forever, i am glad i have shared some good time with each individual i have crossed path with. If that is the way I view life, yes, I think i have enjoyed myself so far. i hope you have too. PS: I took the picture last year when my family went to East Coast Park. It was one of those rare occasion when my mum and brother wanted to a family outing. You see, my family is not very close knit. I do not have many opportunity to go out with my family for such aimless outing. I treasure each one of them. This particular day at East Coast, my mum prepared "mun tou" (those white buns with nothing in it) and she stuffed some fatty braised pork in them. We chose a scenic spot next to the edge of an eroded path, and laid a picnic mat on the floor. Tasha, my doggie, was there too. So the four of us (my dad was working in US then) were enjoying the breeze, but not much conversation was raised. I guess when you have a quiet family, you tend to behave like that too. So, I hope you guys understand when I do not talk. It is not that I am not enjoying myself but it is because of the way I am brought up. Growing up in a fairly quiet family is really scary at times. I have to make noise to reduce the deafening silence. But I enjoy this outing because it doesn’t happen all the time. It is special. have a good weekend take that! and that! and that! i stumbled upon the fabulous five… i mean then. i still remember in secondary, whenever the radio plays their songs i would be singing along to them. hahaha~ but its really retro to listen to them again. recently i bugged my good friend to get me a take that cd cos its selling for 10 bucks. but listening to their songs is one thing… watching their mtv… is another. we didnt have the luxury of subscribing to foreign broadcast in singapore then… much less watch music videos… that’s why i’m so grateful we have YouTube… it’s like a historical field where almost everyone place pass events on the site… that includes popular culture. so i was damn bored la, i went to YouTube and typed "Take That - It Only Takes a Minute"… woah~… its a real eye opener. Of course if you don’t watch the music video, the image in ur mind is clean disco dance song. right? no. watch this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paLlaaXDtPM) then tell me how retro it is… and erm how metro they are gary barlow is still slim then… lol so now that you have profiles in friendster and facebook, should you be cautious? yes. i remember before year 2000, we do not know who our friends’ friends are but now we do. have it occur to you that it makes the circle of friends very small? but has it improved or changed the way friendship is maintained? i think so… especially when you have friends who "bought" another friend on facebook… what is the use? you didn’t use real money… it is all virtual and no harm is incurred. but is friendship really better because you have paid virtual money to buy your friend. i don’t think so. my point is… this whole business of virtual is lame and pointless. the same goes for friends who messaged you on profiles. so? do you meet them up in real life? do you take the effort to do so? no? damn… so what is the use of all these websites? you get the occasional message and that’s it. i think we are lacking human contact in this century. maybe it is time to move that butt and make real contact. no? is it not normal for a guy to emo so much? damn… i must have sounded like a gu-niang to my friends. but the thing about me is… i don’t really hold back my emotions. but i do stop myself from affecting my friends. i hope. hahaha actually, i have been thinking abit la. i realise that i cannot call many my friends. true friends do keep in contact and have a special interest in my well-being. and i mean it. there many categories of friendship… and i really desire those who constantly make an effort… but of course i am just one person… if time allows, i would like to meet up… definitely. which makes me wonder… if rejecting a meeting would mean postponing indefinitely… sigh. because everyone has priorities and there is so much one can fulfill in a day. you know that starhub advert where a guy was split up into three and he did different things at the same time… how i wish i have that ability. then i can do so many things and yet be responsible to each and every person who needs my attention. i am referring to that day when i went out with two good friends… i could sense jealousy in the air… i do not know why. please don’t ask. anyway, to make matters worse… i have this anger in me (yeah i always have unexplained anger)… so i was practically walking ahead and ignoring must of the conversation. kinda bad day… i shouldn’t have arranged for a meeting. the tension was bad and i felt bad to have made that arrangement. i think i treasure freedom. who doesn’t, right? but yet at most time, i do need company. and being a quiet individual, i can be very silent… which might be mistaken for snobbish or aloof… but i’m not la. i’m just absorbing all the ‘good’ feeling of being in a company. i’m all for group hug… even individual.. wahahaha~… and that is the softer side of me. i don’t really know what you guys think of me because i have not received much feedback. you can say i am lacking in that aspect. so at many times, when i’m asked to introduce myself… i’m dumbfolded. and then to make matter worse, i made my persona up. wahaha… then i get into character. it’s not just on one occasion. i did convey this to one friend recently… that we take on different personality to suit the environment… we are all actors. we only present to others what we want them to see or remember. when are we really ourselves? i want to share with you two ghost stories… both are experienced by someone else… one is my dad who just came back from genting… and the other is my friend joseph… it happened to him in dec 2007. i think it is good to document it. i will name the place but i won’t be too specific because i do not want to be sued. however, the following stories are hearsay… so its really up to you to believe. i shall be not liable for any thing. let me begin with my dad’s story… he went to genting to gamble… although it is not the first time he went gambling there… but i believe it is the first time he stayed at first world hotel… i shall not disclose the unit number… on the very first night… he slept at the fair end of the bed against the wall… and he felt something pressing on his neck almost immediately… and he couldn’t open his eyes or talk… until the next morning… on the second night… he decided not to stay in the room anymore… think he was at the lobby… the second story happened in singapore… back in 2007, december… at a popular shopping centre … at orchard road… well that shopping centre won numerous christmas decor… and its kinda near somerset mrt… wahahahaha~… okie la.. anyway this happened to joseph… he said he was at the basement toilet next to cold storage… and it was near closing time… about 10pm… and joseph had to answer nature’s call la… so he went to the toilet… and he chose to use the cubicle… people shy ma… anyway… wahahaha… he was using the toilet bowl… probably aiming quite well… then he heard a father telling his daughter not to play in the toilet… nothing unsual… i guess… so joseph went to wash his hands at the basin… u know i really dun like those sensor taps… cos u have to place ur hands really near the sensor for the water to flow out… so poor joseph was trying to to make that water come out consistently la… i think he got a bit tu-lan (frustrated)… so he wanted to move to another wash basin… at this moment… he looked up and saw a little girl tip-toeing trying to use the same wash basin as him… eh… so he stepped aside and let her use lor… but she was not there anymore… disappear… suddenly… joseph said… that he could see the girl’s hair, clothes, hands, legs… etc… like a normal person… except that the face is not clear… hmmmm i really think that we should try to stay calm… hmmm which brings to mind… i was at this photoshoot… where fann wong and qi yuwu posed as couples… hmmm if you can’t recall how the cover looks like… (http://geocities.com/qiyuwu715/pictures/magazines/Style03.jpg)… and http://geocities.com/qiyuwu715/pictures/magazines/Style02.jpg and (http://geocities.com/qiyuwu715/pictures/magazines/Style01.jpg) ok… so now u can recall… ok that cover was done at a studio in henderson road… one of those flatted factory… and if you noticed the cover… fann wong was jumping forward… and her skirt was like… pulled back… i was the one pulling her dress… SERIOUS…. no joke la… anyway… i was not going to talk about her… or yuwu (before he’s famous)… but they are both very nice people… i am going to tell you about my experience in that toilet…. well…. u know how those toilets are in factories… this one is huge… and somehow… the very first instance i stepped into the toilet… my hair stood up… yeah… its that freaky… i was checking out the mirrors… and the doors… etc… and once i was done… i quickly ran out… hahaha ya i forgot to wash my hands… eeew… then i go and touch erm… okay not touch… but keep the clothes… wahahaha… but its so scary!! it must have been a million times i stare at the phone. you said you would call me and we would meet up again. but i know you won’t. occasionally, that sms you sent would have lighten up the dark room. i do remember those moments we shared - happy, fleeting and memorable, yet forgotten now. it is like yesterday when you promised that we would be together forever but now i believe is a different thing. i really do believe you then. maybe, it works best this way. i will forget you soon. what a beautiful song! that’s exactly how i feel when this song is played. from carrie underwood’s latest album - carnival ride - this song is my favourite now. it really brings out the loneliness i experience. hai~ why must sad songs sound so good? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZyh583RkNk Carrie Underwood - I know you won’t I know you don’t mean to be, mean to me I buy into those eyes You say you’ll call, but I know you I wish you were where you’re supposed to be And still no sound Of footsteps on my stairs You say you’ll call, but I know you You say you’ll call, but I know you jac and alicia will always sing this song without fail whenever we go karaoke… at orchard, international building’s party world. and to me this is the saddest song ever sung… somehow i can totally relate to it. the kaypo person in you will want to know why. love is something i can never fully understand. and it does get confusing when you start to think too much. i strongly do not encourage you to dwell in it. one friend asks me if asking to meet up means disrupting the schedule… well, i don’t think so. it just means that the receiver will need to see if it fits in his/her schedule. it gets extremely frustrating when you need to second-guess and assume that things will be bad or the outcome is not what you desire. For what? it’s better to go ahead and ask. if it can’t be arranged, try again. surely there will be one slot available that you can meet. i remember in secondary two… i like this girl from my class. she was transferred from normal to express and immediately i took a liking to her. cos she is special. she has a special ability and beauty that makes me attracted to her. but when i expressed my liking for her… she dismissed me. she said that i was too young for her (i was one year her junior) and she would like to concentrate on her studies… but its different now. i wonder if all my missed chances really do translate to what i am now. aaahh… i will cherish what ever i have experienced 孙燕姿 - 我怀念的 (Stefanie Sun - Things I Cherish) 我问为什么 那女孩传简讯给我 想问为什么 我不再是你的快乐 我怀念的是无话不说 我记得那年生日 想问为什么 我不再是你的快乐 (I wanted to ask why I was not your happiness anymore) 我怀念的是无话不说 我记得那年生日 我怀念的是无言感动 我记得你在背后 谁自顾自地走 我怀念的 我放手 太爱了 I have a confession to make. It was supposed to be a sad affair because I was reading Yahoo news on China’s deadly earthquake. BUT as I was scrolling the page, I noticed this ad at the bottom left hand corner.
Does that mean i have to move out quickly to save myself? Wahahahaah~ Ben is a mama’s boy! So funny… hahahaha i was at IMM’s long john silver today when this song was played. it brought back lots of memory because it reminded me of my grandfather. he passed away on valentines’ day in 2006. my grandfather was fifty plus when i was born. he had a very short temper and would flare up. I think that is where i get my anger from. he was someone i would look up upon because he was always sure what he wanted to do. he was a barber and he used to cut my hair in the kitchen. he kept this metal box with his hair cutter, scissors, and comb. he would bring me and my brother to kallang bahru swimming pool to swim. he would scold me because i’m very naughty. but i love him. sigh… i miss him i will just keep it as that. i will remember those happy moments. i will not recall the hospital scene… never "When you are gone" avril lavigne Mp3 (http://220.168.249.142/wz/HN310000719/5.mp3) Official video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=otMB3WVQNVg) |
