Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away

Its BB who initiated me to start blogging again. Guess that we all have been quite busi since then, and blogging became our least piority bah. Time realli flies pass us like no man's business. I recalled the last time I blogged was just during the beginning of my 1st semester in my masters program; nagging n worrying on whether I would able to cope, able to spend enuff quality time wif B, etc...
Guess wat? I am now in my 4th semester, with 1 more to go! Sometimes I do feel that worrying too much doesn't help a great deal ba. "Zou3 dao4 Qiao2 tou2 zi4 ran2 zhi2!"
Ok, back to more recent events! ... I was away to US for conference towards end January this year. B flew to US alone 1 week after that as we extended our trip to Orlando, Las Vegas and Santa Monica. It was one of the best trip we have ever made, Magical Kingdom and Universal Studio in Orlando was full of excitment and fun! Casinos and Grand Canyon was unforgetable! Santa Monica beach was beautiful.... Most importantly, its BB's company that really made the trip so magical and memorable! :D
Then there was the Ipoh trip together with B's family, where I had 1st taste of Kampong lifestyle. We practically sleep and eat throughout the entire trip! Simple and easy going kampong life can be fun sometimes, away from the hectic + stressful city life, n off course, the FOOD WAS GREAT!
Next was the long awaited weekend getaway trip to Genting. Think the last time I went to Genting was during primary school days... 1988! We really made the most of our time there; arriving at 4.30am on Friday morning, returning home on Sunday night. Genting changed alot though, into a vibriant city full of entatainment. No comparision with Orlando's theme parks, but B and I had a great time there. From durian buffet dinners to $5bucks movie tickets! It was a great getaway for us... TBC

This one is long overdue ... I guess I have been abit lazy to write blogs lately. Now I still have to think back all the events that happen throughout the last 2 weeks -.-" So, what I am writing now is for Xmas day '05 itself bah
Think that this is the 1st Christmas where I am pack wif activities. Went to my collegues place in the afternoon for Xmas lunch. Ended up doing abit of babysitting wif their kids. Realised that kids are fun to be wif between the age of 1 to 3. Their innocence and liveliness amazed me sometimes ler ... Sad thing is they actually calls me uncle, tot should be kor kor bah!
Yun and I celebrated our 1st Xmas dinner together @ HRC tat nite. Its also the 1st time i actually bought flowers for her ... The food was okay, ambients not bad, but no live band tat nite. Yun bought me a massager, since I suffer from muscle aches and pains from my regular runs and gym workouts. Have been using it quite often since ... haha thanx darling!
We spent our 1st New Year in the Night Safari wif my best bud,GH n his girlfriend. Its quite a good experience apart from the heavy downpours n the cancelled shows. Yun looked really tired by the end of the day, but glad that we had fun and enjoyed ourselves lah! (p.s. Think hor, its not as romantic as it looks to be sharing 1 umbrella while its pouring n strolling along muddy paths -.-" whahaha.)
Its a memorable New Years Day... Happy 2006!!!!

Realised that I have not blog for the entire week. The truth is that I am blogging today wif a bloated n upset stomach. Not surprising due to the amount of rich food I have taken throughout the weekend since Wednesday nite.
It has been a busy week, hitting off with a pre Xmas dinner cum gift exchange with my secondary school mates. We had dinner @ Cartal in Marina, tot that my gift was the best deal ~ Exchanged 1 for 2 leh. With took quite alot of photos throughout and yes, urs truely was again appointed the photographer. Tot that the photos turned out pretty well though, hmm... might consider turning myself semi professional bah... whahaha... The highlight was off course the Christmas weekend.
My relative's granddaughter got married on Friday, and the dinner was held in Oriental Hotel. I was quite impressed with the food and setup though, and find that its one of the better weddings I have attended so far. From the deco to the wedding albums, the services to the food. Off course everything nice comes with a price ... haha
Spent the entire Saturday doing chores at home. Could pass myself off as a handyman actually. Service the toilet, chairs, etc ... washed the floor in the afternoon befor hitting the gym. Its a new record bah, spending almost 2 hours on cardio and free weights. Went to buy Jun's Xmas present at BP b4 heading down to Orchid Hotel to meet darling n Pink for dinner.
Its actually the first time I get to meet up wif PINK. Think that its rare to see the close bondings between frenz whom know each other since sec school. Though I was the only guy there that nite together with 8 gals, they allowed me to settle in quite comfortably. With the lame jokes, to the bubbly laffs, everyone of them have their own unique characteristics. People around should be damn jealous bah, seeing me actually surrounded by so many mei nu.
Will continue wif part to later on ....

Did not blog for a couple of days. Suppose to meet up with a malaysian classmate in PS on last Saturday for coffee, and guess wat? She broke my all time record, by being the first person to let me wait for 1&1/2 hrs! Honestly, trying to test my patience huh... I was pretty piss off initially, but seeing her eyes almost in tears and dispair, and her thousands of apologies, melted my heart ler. So its true ... hmm, I can never have a stone heart. So just forget it lor, n don't be so small gas & must be da4 fang1 abit -.-"
But anyway, seeing Yun after tat cooled me down quite abit though. She never fails to cheer me up ler, with her million dollar Ms Sunshine Smile! haha... (p.s. though she was still not feeling well) We had dinner @ MindsCafe, which I honestly thinks is a place that suits darling best. No sun, no need to walk too much, can seat at 1 spot n play games + eat/drink all day. Just only the hands, mouth and brain exercise leh (^_^) In fact I quite like it too. Looks like its going to be one of our hang out zones in future bah ... haha!
Watched King Kong later tat evening. I was amazed that it was a sold out crowd. I recalled myself 2 weeks back saying something like its lame to see T Rax Wrestling with Kong, but ended up seeing ,myself n Yun straining our necks in the 3rd front row, wif our eyes glued fix to the screen.
Mixing Animal behaviours together with human instincts are always touching and emotional. What impressed me most was how alike apes are as compared to humans. The actor of Kong actually travelled to Africa to stay for some time to study the behaviours of apes and gorillas, their movements, facial expressions ...etc. Verdict is thumbs up to Kong!

Ate hairy crabs for the first time the other day. My dad's golf Karkie brought them back from his business trip to China and gave some to him. The tricky part is... its raw -.-" n we have no idea on how to cook them. So we ended up dumping all of them into the steamer for 20mins, added some garlic to remove the fishy smell, and hope tats its cook lor, keeping our fingers cross to see who would end up the first to run to the toilet. =P
Yun is sick, the flu bug is not all over the place lah. Darling ah, remember to take your medicine on time, drink lots n lots of water, have plenty of rest! Think hor I have said this statement at least 10 times liaoz this week. I am sure she is quite sick of hearing it -.- Suddenly feel as though I am super naggy... worst than an old man..
The highlight this week is off course Yun being Zhong Li Ti lookalike. What can I say, super flattered and proud of u lor... haha... But hor, Zhong Li Ti like already 30++ liao leh, n got kids somemore ...hmm ... Went to her website to look at her pics just now, think hor, yun looks better lah =p
Glad that she likes her attachment lah, think its very important to enjoy wat you r doing bah. Its the best way to improve and grow!
I starting writing this blog 2 days ago, and until now I am still writing the same blog, so this could be the summary of the entire weeks blog bah.
Tok about presents, from now till 7th January, I would have 2 wedding dinners, 2 christmas lunches, 2 pre christmas dinners, and 1 post christmas dinner. And I haven bought a single gift for Xchange yet. This time round is my turn to organise my MINDEF induction group get together session. Have sent out all the emails today, so apart from doing my principle work, I was a part time co-ordinator wif loads of emails flooding my mailbox. So far the response is quite good, so I would be expecting almost full attendance this time bah ...whahaha :)
Still considering if I should host a birthday bash on my hatch day. Like wat some of my friends would say, my bdays every year never fail to look like some grand occassion. Hah! This time round would be held in a function room with buffet spread bah. Invitations would be to all family, friends and relatives. Think its going to be quite X .... still pending.....

Looks like my darling have a great liking for large diamonds huh .... can u believe it, now I actually see myself doing research work on diamonds. Learned quite abit from it though, n it might prove useful for future use bah ... haha. So far, the largest I have came across is a 4.3 caret diamond, it is custom made and must be ordered from overseas. Had a look at the website, and it did impressed me quite abit on their designs.
Here are my other findings... 3 caret diamond ring from EBay cost US$25000 (enuff to buy a 1.6l car leh-.-") 3.45 caret princess diamond customised cost almost $52000 "DUH" Its not the size of the diamond that is valuable, but the number of cuts and how precise the cuttings, that makes them valuable. So darling, must reaccess liaoz... haha (ps. i am not being sour grapes lor, but the large ones look very bulky and rough in design, somehow or rather, I still like the small elegant ones =P) The truth is that after looking through Yun's Wish list few days back, my morale has hit rock bottom leh. Not because of the fantastic sparkling price tags, but because the fact is I have already bought Yun's Christmas present long before this list came about, and it does not meet any her wish list lor, in fact nothing close to it at all. N now I am abit embarrass to pass it to her during Christmas, it is not as practical as it looks lor(-.-)"
For me leh, I am quite easily contented bah. Any little gifts Yun buys for me would be cherished as though they r bao3, and I would be very happy liaoz ... haha. My wish list is a joke lah, everything inside is so X, wo3 dou1 bu4 sher3 de2 mai3 lah =P Furthermore, u r not working yet darling, so don't spend too much money lor.... Hmm ... I would choose my last option lah, no need DHL, I come carry by hand can liaoz .. haha (p.s My preference would be 3 separate gifts on 3 different occasions instead of all lump together as one though... haha. I love surprises mah ;p)
Looks like I have to start running liaoz. Took a 1 week break from the gym and Yun said that my face became rounder and I have grown fatter liao -.-" so fast... if i don't do anything about it, I would be the one ending up looking like a pig!
Okay end of Monday blues, another 4 days to go! Ming2 Tian1 de4 Ming2 Tian1 hui4 gen4 hao3 ...... Jia You ba ! =)

I have always considered myself as a person who thinks alot. Like what Yun always tells me, "Ni3 xiang3 tai4 tou1 le4!" Think by nature I am like that, always planning far ahead for the future.... I admit this is not common for guys of my age, but thats just ME :)
To provide, to support and to love, are what I call my 3 foundation blocks which are implanted in the bottom of my heart. To provide is to be unselfish and have an open heart ...able to give if i can afford , To support is to maintain stability physically, mentally and financially, To love is what Yun knows best, so to prevent anymore hair raising situations, she would answer that for me, cause I have already given it to her from Day 1. hahaha... Don't worry darling, I will never forget !!!
Here it goes, my christmas' wish list. 1. Adidas customise Running shoes, 2. A laptop, preference are those that are small and light, 3. A watch, 4. Hush Puppies working shoes, 5. Yun wrapped up in a present. haha =p
Compiled Yun's wish list too.... the realistic ones! 1. (DVD/VCD/CD)-R/RW Hi-Fi Combo Set 2. 25" LCD Plasma TV p.s just checked it out, really cost 4 figures -.-" 3. Watch (Will go down Suntec to see, but definately not Cartier lor) 4. Might really end up wrapping myself up and get DHL to send by hand.
