My Ah Gong

Today while I was having lunch with my colleagues at Maxwell, I saw a elderly man that reminds me sooo much of my Ah Gong in Batu Pahat (my mum's side grandpa)

We got a table of 6 in which 4 of them are taken and the other 2 are reserved for my colleagues joining us later... and this elderly ah pei walked over to our table... supporting himself by holding on to the chair...and sat down... all my colleagues were like looking at one another... but none of us have the heart to chase him away you know... i mean he is already having difficulty walking... and you still want to ask him to look for another table in the lunch hour busy Maxwell Centre... very bad right..? So we kept our mouth shut and allowed him to take one of the seats vacant...

And he ordered two bowls of porridge, a piece of fish and beansprouts from the nearly Teochew Porridge stall... and started eating.... I seriously cant help but peek over at him.... he reminded me so much of my Batu Pahat Ah Gong... the way he walked and eat....

He have no teeth to bite his food just like my Ah Gong.. due to old age la... so what they do usually are eat in small mouthfuls and swallow it down together with porridge... i think they chew a little sometimes.. but they cant really take hard foods... and you know.. his hands was trembling you know... becoz they dun really have the strength.. so his hands trembled a little when he picked up the fish and bean sprouts... gosh... my heart really go all out to him.....just like my Ah Gong

My Ah Gong is a very brave man you know.. he suffered from cancer.. even a blood clot in his brain and went through an operation to remove that.. but he survived... so I am very proud of him... but dun be fooled by his strong appearance... underneath I know he actually cares for all of us alot... Since young... he always encouraged me to do what I want... when I went overseas to study.. he even volunteered to give me some money from his hard earned savings so I could have a better life overseas... so yeh i really like my Ah Gong alot... I am much closer to him than with my Ah Ma.. whenever I didnt go back to visit him, he will ask why... sometimes when I went back out of the blue alone, he will ask me how come i didnt go work, run to Batu Pahat to visit him........


Ah Gong will always be in my heart...........

Sweets....


I Love You ALWAYS
So often words just can't begin
To show how much we feel within

Sharing life with you
has grown so familiar
and comfortable
that I sometimes forget to tell you
how much it all means to me...
how wonderful you are...
and how very much I Love You

Happy Birthday to the one who is forever in my heart...

Opposition Theory...

Whenever I am confident about something, whenever I said I will pass, whenever I have a feeling that I will pass, whenever I have high expectations on something to succeed, usually the direct opposite will happen. I will fail or not met my expectations.... seriously.....

Like the first time I took my advanced theory test, after the success of my basic theory test, I am super confident that I will also pass my advanced theory test and I have rather high expectations for it... even though I didnt say it out... but I flunked it... sooo my morale went all the way down to the bottom....

And yesterday I took a mock test of 200 questions and I flunked almost half of them... and I got super pissed and super low morale as you can imagine... to me advanced theory test of multiple choice questions is so much harder than reading a 500 page thick text book and writing 5 essays in 2 hours for my uni exams... and I was wondering why the hell do I need to suffer and take this test anyway..........

But darling said "It is only less than 10 bucks.. just go and take it... taking it at least got chance.. never take it confirm fail... in uni each exam so expensive.. you never stressed then you stressed at 10 bucks test.." So ok.. but anyway I tell myself and everybody around me... I sure confirm fail liao.... but I still forced myself to wake up early in the morning today, went down to Yio Chu Kang to take my advanced theory test... dad asked me to pray to the "Guan Yin Godness" before going out and he wishes me good luck.... (he also very kan chiong for me lei..) on the way to SSDC dar together with Ling Ling and Helen also sms me to wish me good luck... and I replied with a haiz... which Ling Ling messaged back with "Aiyah dun think too much la.. JUST TAKE THE TEST"... okay I got the hint.. hahaha.. as much as I try not to set too high expectations on myself.. look like so many others are more anxious than me sia.....

Ok I reached SSDC, did some last minute reading.. and went into the room at 10.30am to face my sentence.... took extremely long today to do my test.... dunno why also... but anyway I was one of the last 3 to leave the room.....

and.........and....... and.......... and............. and...................



I passed!!!!! See.. my opposition theory work loh... when I said I fail I will pass... wahahahahahaha.. now one last hurdle to cross... the hardest one also... jialat....*sweat*

Dream Wedding....

Wow.. i was searching through the web for my usual wedding preparations stuffs... and I came across this website: The Photo Factory in Bali that specialises in Bali weddings and photography

Inresistable!!!!

I think anyone who have a detailed look through the photos will fall deeply in love with the place also lo...

Goodness.... I soooo wanna to hold my wedding there sia.... Bali is beautiful, the villas are beautiful, the wedding is beautiful, the photos are beautiful.... I bet it will be the most memorable day of my life I gurantee.....

Wah.. my dream wedding sia..............

(I always have a weak mind towards beautiful photography... I get cheated by them all the times)

What e hell have I gotten myself into??

I got my 2nd advanced theory test tomorrow....

And I am feeling fucking pissed right now.....

Why the hell have I gotten myself into this fucking mess??

Why do I have to take this fucking test??

Wishlist 2007..

OK after the failure to achieve anything much from my New Year resolutions 2006, I have decided not to write any New Year resolutions for 2007... (after all i wun achieve them also lo.. so what for...)

So instead of New Year resolutions, I am going to do something much measurable, much realistic and much achievable.. hahaha.. I am doing a wishlist this year... whatever that I might wish for, might not come true... but I might put a step forward to try achieving it.. cool eh?? such a genius to think of this idea to cover up my ass and give myself the excuse for not achieving anything out of life... wahahaha

OK.. here we go...

MY 2007 WISHLIST...
1. Earn more money!!!
I already more or less achieve the first step of the ladder but hah.. humans are greedy and so am I.. never enough... I want more!!! which of coz I have to put in the effort to do more sales lo...

2. Get rid of my old clothes and buy new ones....
If you are my true frenz you will know all my clothes are super old.. some from the poly days... some from many many years ago.... old, crumpled, faded and out of fashion... I must get more new clothes man...must buy more fashionable clothings and that of coz includes new bras and underwears

3. Get my driving license...
After all, I have already started right?? It shouldnt be too much of a problem to get my license within this year right??

4. Go snorkelling....
Planning a trip to either Redang or Tioman.. I must snorkel.. after all that is the main reason why I wanna to learn how to swim... and now that I can float.. (not exactly swim yet)... I should be able to snorkel and I want to snorkel... I miss all the fishy man...

5. Set up my own webby business
OK.. not exactly a business anyway becoz it wun earn much money... the only revenue will come from advertising... but the business plan is still in the early hatching stage... so wait and see what I can come out with next....

6. Do not smoke, drink less
Yah.. last year I still touched a few ciggies here and there.. this year I must not touch any.... and drink.. I dun think I can cut it all at once.. especially when my darling drink occassionally with his frenz so I can only tell myself... less alcohol as much as possible.... drink unneccessarily...

7. Reduce my stomach fats..........bigger breasts...
OK I am not lying.. ppl think I am skinny... but true enough I have a big "spare tyre" around my stomach... and it is getting bigger and bigger day by day... very ugly when I sit down wearing tight fitting clothes... must find a cheap alternative to remove / reduce it to the min..... and bigger breasts... natural and healthy way and of coz cheap way of breast enhancement... yes pls!!!

8. Get married...
Yah all my frenz know I wanna get married... and all my frenz are asking when am I getting married... so yeah I am hoping to get myself married off this year.... hahahaha.... so once again you see this on my wishlist.... will my wish get fulfilled this year?? and yah.. where got someone crave to get themselves married off?? I must have sound very desperate... oh no.....

That is basically it man... not very greedy this year.... all plain achievable.. i think i might be able to score 100% during my end of year review.... hehehehehe...

Ok.. it is 11 days into Year 2007.... and I am officially 11 coming to 12 days late on my New Year resolutions for 2007...

But before we go into the future, let do a review on the past.... last year i made the following resolutions..

I did this.. however the timing is actually from 10am to 7pm.. not too bad thou

2. Get my driving license which includes passing my basic and advanced theory and my TP.
Eh.. I didnt manage to get it.. but at least I started on it... but so far only to passing my basic theory, flunking one time and booked for the next in advanced theory as well as starting on my first practical driving lesson...

3. Go for a holiday in Korea, Nepal, Bintan or Australia. Me and my dear planning to go Ausssie in mid 2006 becoz just in time to see my frenz's baby arriving into this complicated world.. hehehe
Wah Piangz... this is bad man... becoz i achieve none of the destination in the above list... wahahaha.. we sort of went out of track a little.. we went to Genting and Batam... i went to Cameron Highlands too... alamak..far from what i plan sia...

4. Drink & smoke lesser. This resolution goes for U too darling... No more merlioning and no more talking rubbish and no more crab walking catwalk...
Yeh i smoke less... basically even stop smoking... that's good that's good... drink... ehh... i never merlion... nv do much crab walking catwalk.. but i did faint once from alcohol poisoning.. (or was that sleep walking??)... wahahhaa... but i did control my alcohol level.... really.... just that i didnt really know what happen during that one time i fainted... becoz i didnt even drank much in the first place... goss..

5. Get a start on my Sport and Wellness Diploma program.
Hah... never even ask, never even start... that was a wrong resolution made in the very first place... cancellation of plans... sooooo....

hmm.... Indonesia just got Adam Air crash and sinking of a ferry, then there was the flood.... US and Iraq are still fighting a never ending war.... still having bombs going around in Indonesia, Thailand, Phillippines, Iraq etc etc..... other than that.. this year is actually much bettter than 2005 le i suppose...

10. More money for shopping.. haahahaha...

Byez to Taggy

As everyone would have noticed, I removed my taggy board....

It is just too frustering... the amount of time needed just to log in to Cbox, ban and delete all the irritating spammers.... and there is nothing I can do for it unless I upgrade to Premium.. which i wun be that toopidz to do so.. and anyway why would they spam on my blog... and not someone else.... idiotz...

Becoz ultimately life without taggy board on my blog still carry on as per normal... so dun miss my taggy... get into the habit of leaving comments on my blog ba... (for one thing... not anyone can spam comments on my blog.. yiippess)

First day on L...

I couldnt slp properly last night.. and i had a very bad dream... (which i will only tell my darling... anyway it is similiar to something that i had before..) I was super ka chiong about my first driving lesson today... how would the instructer be that? how would i perform... (even though darling keep on reminding me yesterday that i am paying the guy big bucks to teach me driving).. after all i still feel kinda of conscious that i dun even know how to start the engine and step on the accelerator pedal....

But anyway I survived last night... and woke up right on time today.... went down to XXX Mrt (in order to protect the identity of my instructer and my driving school) to meet up with my instructer... and there he was... this unfriendly middle age man who just couldnt even squeeze a proper smile during greetings.... totally unpleasant first impression.. anyway he totally match my idea of a unfriendly driving instructer... (I thought all driving instructers are unfriendly mens...)..

He took my PDL and asked me to get into the car... a little bit shocked becoz i thought we are supposed to go somewhere quiet and safer with lesser cars.. like a ulu carpark or something... so i blurted out my thoughts... and he is like "just get into the car first and i will tell u what to do...." of coz in a unfriendly tone la... i am like "what e f have i got myself into...??" ok.. never mind.. i managed to squeeze a smile and got into the car.... then he went through all the components of the car.. from the air con buttons to the central locking switch for the windows to the handbrake and gear level... I am like "hello I have my own car la.. what the hell makes u think i dunno all the small small buttons.. it is just that i didnt know how to drive my car!!!" Goss... this is just such a torture man....

My Car


Ok... after going through every single thing... he asked me to adjust the mirrors... rear view mirrors.. no problem at all... side mirrors... that is where all my stupidity comes in... (goss i hate myself...).. my side mirrors in my car have to be adjusted manually... there is like this switch by the side on the interior dashboard that you can use to adjust... and my driving instructer side mirrors (Car is a Nissan Sunny by the way) has the round knob thingy that you have to turn and press up, down, left right to adjust... and i freakingly spent 10-15 mins trying to figure out how to fucking adjust the mirrors to suit my eyesight... oh my god... why does it have to be that high tech sia...


Ok i finished adjusting everything.. i know every single component of the car now... what is next?? He said he will drive to somewhere where there is lesser cars and traffic so I can learn to drive... I am like "ok.. finally...".. and he drove a distance away from the mrt station and stopped the car by the main road.... just some distances away from a traffic junction and a bus stop.... I freaked out man.. i swear... THERE IS ALOT OF TRAFFIC LO U IDIOT... WHAT LESSER TRAFFIC?? anyway I was there objecting like crazy.... telling him that i have never freaking drive before.. i cant drive there when i dun even know how to drive!!! and he is like... "it's ok... just drive...."


WHAT THE FUCK??!! So being the student.. seeing that my objections have come to vain... i got into the driver's seat... and i can soo see in my rear view mirrors that motorbikes, cars and buses all have to overtake me by the right lane becoz i am moving even slowly than a tortise.... damz... I havent even step on the accelerator pedal yet lo... i just left the crutch at biting point and allowing the car to move by itself... how freaking fast can that be?? goss goss..... this shouldnt even be taught on the main road lo!! this should be taught in the carpark.... where i wun be obstructing traffic..... ok anyway the car slowly crawl to a traffic junction and i panicked.... and i stepped on my crutch and accelerator pedal at the same time and the car stalled... still never mind... then when the lights turned green.. for some freaked reason I stalled again... i sweared i am going crazy at that point of time.... i dashed past a zebra crossing and risked knocking someone over (luckily she still at the roadside.. havent crossed yet) because i forgot to step on my brake pedal and step on my crutch pedal instead..... i spent 15 mins at a side road when i need to turn right becoz my bloody instructor was on the phone and i didnt know how to control the freaking steeling wheel to turn into the extreme right lane!!! a couple of times i went crazy... shouting at the instructer who cant even give proper instructions on what to press and what not to press... he is like.. dun press the brake... and i am like.. i am not pressing.... step on the accelerator.. i am like i am stepping.. now what..?? then control your steering wheel... alamak you never release your handbrake.. i am like i remove liao... then he is like step on the brakes.. aiyah not too much.. then i went aiyah u also never tell me step how much... go a bit closer to the stop line... okok brake.. aiyah brake a bit can liao..... goss.......... an endless debate............ seriously why am i doing alll these??


And worst of all, bloody idiot woman driver HONKED AT ME!!!! i sweared if i am in my car, and darling is driving... i would have pointed my middle finger, stopped the car, took out a baseball bat and smashed her car window!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?? I AM ON LEARNERS LEI.. CAN U SEE THAT FREAKING BIG L IN FRONT YOU IDIOT BITCH!!! YOU ARE NOT THAT GOOD IN DRIVING ALSO WHAT... DRIVE A SMALL DIAMOND BLUE PICA.... NOT BMW NOT SPORT CARS NOT RUSHING ANYWAY... AND EVEN IF YOU DRIVE A BM OR RUSHING SOMEWHERE... EVEN THE AMBULANCE GOT TO GIVE WAY TO ME LO... BECOZ I FREAKING DUNNO HOW TO DRIVE WAT... IF NOT WHAT IS THE L PLATE THERE FOR!!!! OVERTAKE ME LA... TWO LANES DIE DIE WAN TO TAILGATE BEHIND ME AND HONKED ME!!!! just too bad i was so busy trying to concentrate on stepping on my crutch and brake and accelerator pedal.. (whatever shit).. i didnt have time to note down the number plate... (i only manage to see her yaya papaya face in my rear mirror)..... if not the next time i see her... i sure make her tyres puncture, scratch her car, cut her rear windscreen................. super pissed lo......

Anyway darling is super happy that at least i can drive a bit now.. and i know how the crutch pedal works.... hahaha... he is sooo happy he can dance i think..... I hope the next lesson will be so much better... wish me luck le...

Happy New Year......

Yippees... a new year means a new beginning.... hopefully 2007 will be sooo much better than 2006... (although 2006 arent that bad either)... of coz humans are greedy.. we always wan more!!

How was your new year celebrations everybody?? Mine was boring... but it was good... I guess sometimes it is good to bore ourselves a little... hahaha... time spent with my darling is precious and valuable so every single minute of it counts... and I spent most of my time with my dar over the new year so I am a happy and contented gal... hehe

29th December 2006
Me and dar went on half day leave today... he finally finished clearing all of his leave while i still have about 5 days more to clear in Jan... (actually i am supposed to be on full day but due to the Internet connection being down for the third day now, I have to go back to office to clear some remaining stuffs)... so around 1+ we met up at Pandan Gardens to collect our Pica.. hehe so excited really... left Pandan Gardens abt 2+ coming to 3pm I think... went for a supper late lunch in Woodlands... then went back to dar's place to take a rest for a while... before proceeding to Sembawang 1036 Seafood Restaurant (that was around 9pm coming to 10pm) to have a super late dinner cum supper with dar's parents, Uncle Colin & Auntie Mary family inclusive of little baby Melson and Charmaine, Ah Ben and his family together with his gf plus Auntie Juliana, Bridget and Kimberly.. his auntie and cousins from Aussie who are on a 4 days shopping, sightseeing cum relative visiting trip to Singapore... wah total 14 of us sia... we had a really sumptous dinner consisting of fishhead steamboat, fried toufu, butter sotong, black pepper and tomato ketchup crab, kailan in oyster sauce and mongolian pork ribs... after which we took his aussie relatives to Mutasfa for shopping... we just shopped for a few accessories for baby Pica then we decided to make our way home liao.. too tired liao.. lousy man...


Kimberly on the left, Bridget on the right

30th December 2006
Darling got to go back to work in the morning... actually he is just supposed to go back and clear some remaining work... however to realise that his colleague didnt turn up for work so he got to help cover up.... he didnt have enough sleep due to the late night and early in the morning he got to go to HDB to buy baby Pica season parking coupon... poor dar dar... and me.. of coz i slept late... not really that late anyway.. woke up abt 9am in the morning.. went out to the bank to settle some of my investment funds stuffs.. then settled everything.. came home and had lunch with daddy... while on standby mode for darling to finish off work... but wait wait wait... darling only finished off work at 6pm... hahaha... after i took a nap and surfed finish all the websites that catches my interest... then dar got to rush down to Orchard to meet up with the buyer for the bike to clear the remaining payment as well as passed him the remaining spare parts and the manual.. soooo by the time we met up.. it was 8pm.. hahaha... went back home to pick up Bridget and Kimberly for dinner... brought them to eat Japanese food at Sakae Sushi... ahaha.. i think they enjoyed it la.. not very sure also.. hahaha.... after which we sent them home to Uncle Colin's place where they are staying during their trip... stayed over at Uncle Colin's place for a while (not very nice to leave straight away ma...) so by the time we left his place... it was 11pm plus... poor darling.. he is so super tired from the long day u cannot imagine... hahaha...

31st December 2006
We both slept really late....... hahaa... as we were both very tired.... mummy and daddy went back to Batu Pahat to attend one of my relative's wedding... so only left me and my brother at home... gave a call to dar and he came over to pick me up around 12 noon... went to Blk 211 for lunch... before going to AutoBacs at Bukit Timah to pick up some accessories and then to Express Motion at Thomson Road... in the end we were there till 6pm... goss... super tiring... supposed to go send Auntie Juliana, Bridget and Kimberly at the airport as they are taking 7pm flight but too late... so forget abt it.. went back home to take a rest first while waiting for people to call and confirm tiu with us... hahaha... super a lot of tius but none of which we are interested to go to... it is either too expensive or too packed to our liking... Junxian wanna go One Night Stand (cover charge is SGD 88), Wenliang and Xiao Shun wanna go some ulu pub / disco at Geylang (not very nice for a lady to go to so darling didnt wanna bring me there)... then changed to Parklane... then in the end Wenliang and Junxian ended up going to Dbl O... and me and dar... we ended up at a small cosy restaurant called Buckaroo BBQ & Grill at Sembawang... very nice atmosphere with a very quiet surrounding... the food servings were super huge.. of coz the same goes for the price... I ordered a Pan Dory Fish (SGD 26.90) and dar ordered a 1/2 BBQ chicken (SGD 21.90)... we thought there isnt much veggies so we happily went to order a Caesar salad (SGD 14.80) and drinks... total bill added up to about SGD 79 for two of us... *faint* we had such a hard time trying to finish our food becoz the potion is just sooo huge lo... my fish came with a whole baked potato and a huge pile of salad.. and dar came with potato wedges and salad... and we still have salad as a side dish...


Food for the mighty!!

hmmm.. we were soooo full after that u can imagine.. after that we went down to Yishun Dam to meet up with Jinlong and Ah Xiong for a chat... the dam is super packed... very hard to find parking... and to our surprise we can see fireworks at the stroke of midnight... hehehe.. and someone actually lighted two "Kong Ming" lanterns... hehe... sounded rather boring really but I would say it is good... I didnt wanna to join any of the countdowns anyway considering that those places will be damn packed.. and I wasnt really interested to scream HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone I saw on the streets.. so something like that.. quiet gathering with a few frenz and my dar is more than enough.... most importantly.. me and dar didnt touch a drop of alcohol... what a relief... ahhaha

1st January 2007
While everyone is out having fun, shopping and meeting up with frenz... hahaha.. two of us were hiding at home washing our baby Pica... wahahahaha... we spent the entire day lo... sweating like crazy under the hot sun... washing, cleaning, waxing and polishing it until it shines... hahaha both me and dar agreed it is good exercise for both of us... since we seldom do much during normal days... ahaha... and the good thing we both share something to do together... hehehe... after baby Pica, we came back home and crashed in bed.. super tired sia... took a nap before proceeding to Johor, Malaysia with his parents for dinner... hehhe... saw a rainbow.. two in fact... right outside his doorstep...

went into Malaysia via the first link / old causeway about 7+.. came back home to find ourselves right smacked in the middle of a jam... damn sianz.... by the time reached home 12 midnight... again tired like crazy sia... like rushing tius... ahhaha

2nd January 2006
Slept late again and woke up with flu... both of us... i didnt really have a good slp due to mossie attacks... had lunch at home before going out to Sembawang to get some accessories for baby Pica.. in the end came out empty handed except a toothpaste.. drove to Yishun Dam again for a walk in the hot sun ... then we ended up observing how easy people catch fishes.... the way I see them fish... I think I can also pretty much do it myself... hahahaha... came back home... only for a while before meeting up with Wenliang.. in the end we went back to Sembawang again for dinner and drinks.. ahhahaha....

That's it for the start of my New Year... hahaha... new year resolutions coming up soon.....
