Butter + White Bling Party + Sunset Grill and Bar Weekend

It has been a great and tiring weekend. Friday night was drinks with the gang at cornerstone followed by butter in members. Alcohol tolerance has been really bad these days so I evacuated from butter at 12.30am to Walas for some sobering up. EIC's really quite cool by the way.

Met Stel, Alv and the Pao at Great World for dinner on Sat evening. Followed by White Bling (SIM bash) at Zouk. First time in a club with my shades, can't see no shit man.. All in all had a gd time. Stayed sober! Yay. Congrats on the gd job well done to Bernie, ZT and committee!

Sunday was massage at Wonng's Spa followed by dinner at Sunset Grill. Was blessed with good weather throughout the day so there's nothing else to ask for.

Wish all my weekends are as fruitful like this man! 3.5 more days to weekend again!! Looking forward to TGIF. :D

Foreign

It seems so foreign to me, so long ago.

The feeling's so strong, that it's scary.

Yet I reckon, for I am wary.

I recall: "Take a leap of faith"

I followed: "Go with your heart's take"

I hear: "You think too much you piece of cake"

if the flow grows, go with the flow sire.

If the flow goes, then that's so only so much you can go sire.

So sweet, yet so painful.

Well, I chose to be a fool, a blessed fool I am hopeful.

For a leap of faith is all I can do, the consequences I can't outdo.

Good luck sire. Good luck to the fool.

Dangerous Minds

It just occurred to me that I have not watched the movie yet, though I love the song. Shall make time for it.

The Truth.

I woke up today and suddenly got into the mood to blog, so I opened my laptop, logged into blogger and dang, my mind went blank.

I ended up blog surfing and bumped into a survey that asked me to describe myself with 10 separate words/phrases. It then dawned on me that it'll be quite interesting to get people whom I've known since the different phases of my life to describe me. Hence I browsed through my MSN list and got 3 respondents that gamely entertained my request! Thanks!


Respondent: C
Phase: Since University
Age: Younger than me

1) owl
2) clubber
3) hardworking
4) kind
5) easy to bully
6) permanently online
7) alvin's and stella's light blub
8) very chi qing
9) nice to friends
10) contradicting thoughts


Respondent: A
Phase: Since Secondary School
Age: Same age as me

1) intuitive
2) pessimistic or maybe just think too much too often
3) ambitious
4) sensitive
5) confident
6) outgoing and enjoys good company
7) easily bored therefore craves changes/excitement
8) commitment phobic??!
9) has a calming effect on others....but sometimes to the point of being seemingly detached
10) great listener who is overly objective most times!!!!!


Respondent: S
Phase: Since Junior College
Age: Older than me

1) a young man too eager to grow old
2) his eyes are definitely the windows to his soul
3) a very carefully thought through risk taker
4) a workaholic by day, an alcoholic by night
5) a wannabe 'playa' who can never find the heart to be one simply because he's too nice
6) a man who will fight for what he wants, when he actually knows what he wants
7) excellent taste in food, bad taste in women
8) loves his friends to a T,but needs to learn to love himself more
9) rough around the edges but all heart inside
10) a wise fool who has so much love to give


I have to specially thank S for her insightful and smart words that just blew me away. I noticed lots of contradicting phrases about myself. Am I really so contradicting at times? Well, I promised not to censor, dispute, or comment on the words that I've gotten, so here they are. I kept my side of the bargain yeah?

Time for me to think through these 30 lines, and do some reflections. Alone.

Have a good week ahead, Friends.

what is my mum hinting?

From: My Mum
To: Me

Subject: FW: Difference Between Wife and Girlfriend

See.... HP have virus .........


-----------Forwarded Message------------------------

Wife is like TV, girlfriend is like Handphone (HP)
At home watch TV, go out bring HP.
No money, sell TV. Got money change HP.
Sometimes enjoy TV, but most of the time play with HP.
TV free for life but HP, if you don't pay the services will be terminated
TV is big, bulky and most of the time old, but handphone is cute, slim,
curvy and very portable at any time.
Operational cost for TV is often acceptable but for HP is high and often dema nding,
Most Important, TV got remote.. HP don't have..
Last but not least........

TV do not have virus, but h/p yes...........have VIRUS.............. once get it, HABIS LA. ....hahahahaha......
so better choose TV.

Regards,
Mum


Hmm.... since when HP got virus? But after a quick check via google... There are really viruses going around in HPs!!!!!
I wonder what my mum is hinting...

1. HP got virus, so watch out and take precautions.
2. GF got virus, so watch out and lagi take precautions.
3. Never get a GF?
4. Get a wife? -- Which begs point 4: How to find a wife w/o finding gf?

Ok, this is getting circular. I've been screwing around with circular references in Excel today so I shall stop using my brain.

Good night office workers.
Good morning party goers. Have fun.

--------Interrupted--------

A friend just sent me an sms: "Zouk-"....
I guess it's a drunk sms since it's obviously supposed to be "Zouk?".

Anyhow. Ich bin müde. Gute Nacht.

What a day...

It was supposed to be an uneventful Saturday evening. Watched one missed call on my laptop and then met Alv for kopi before heading down to Zouk for pregaming. After that, we took a long walk to butter factory to meet bday girl and gang, but ended up waiting like 45 mins for them outside this Jap restaurant.

Anyway, FINALLY made it to butter and boy oh boy was it crowded. The only mentionable part of the night was the "thing" that this model-like ang moh chick did to me. Only the people who were there with me know about the "thing".. so what happens at the club stays at the club... Anyway, the music wasn't very appealing so we left for supper at about 1 plus.. hahahah.. yes.. 1 plus.. the time I usually start partying.. Had ripped off bak ku teh at MS right after..

Ok now for the next highlight of the night.. I got home at about 3am, entered my elevator.. and it started moving up.. for about 1-2 seconds and then it jerked with a loud thud. The button lights and floor indicator switched off and there I was.. stuck in the lift after watching one missed call a few hours before... !#$!$%#$@^#%$^$%&%^$&#$^$#@%@!%@#$

Immediately called Alv and Stel, followed by the breakdown hotline. "Hi sir, please remain calm and do not force the doors open. I will contact the service engineer right away", the voice on the other line regurgitated. At this moment, I realized that the lift was MOVING... but it was like 1 cm/s lor.. So I was half praying for it to reach the 6th floor (which is the next lobby) and hopefully it will open; I was also half praying that it will NOT reach the 6th floor, lest I see some scary shit...

Thankfully, nothing scary appeared on the 6th floor.. and the lift doors did open... As the doors closed behind me.. I saw the lift go up at NORMAL speed to the 11th floor.. It's damn freaky lah.. like it happened ONLY TO ME..

And so I went home, forgetting to lock my door, climbed into bed and refused to get off it. That's why I say God is fair.. He gives you some "thing" and He takes something else away. Sigh.

Some pictures from Wild Rocket@Hangout some time ago. Food's not too bad. Worth a try.

Goodbye SMU

As I recall that talk where Alvin and I were interviewed way back in Year 1, back in the old campus, I reminisce about being the blur freshman going into SMU-SIS and graduation seemed so far away then.

Now, we're both starting work in the next month, each armed with a SMU degree that we believe is sought after by employers (though I just found out from a friend today that the contrary is also true).

"So is SMU that great after all?", I've been asked countless times for the past 4 years.

I shall keep the answer in my heart from now on, for I see no need to prove anything.

Thank you SMU, for the experiences, for the friends, for the opportunities and everything else. Auf Wiedersehen mit Liebe.

a sign?

It seems things are finally falling into place,
the pieces are no longer in a maze.

"Have faith", she said.
It's so much easier to talk than walk.

Accent on the future.
An irony or a sign?

"Have faith", she said.
It's time to walk the talk.

I also say.

追

a endless chase that many continue to pursue.
