Living In Black

Sunday, November 28, 2004

I believed that you peeps had been seeing me online recently on MSN, just that I'm permanently in the "BUSY" mode. Well, not that I'm home sick or what ya... It's due to this <Project 'X'> that I'm working on. Check it out~! *WiNkz*

Project 'X'

Yes~! You're right~! It's a jigsaw puzzle... 1,000 pieces~! *proud* I've never do one complicated puzzle in my life before. I think the record for me so far is 100 pieces or below, say during my primary school days. Thus, I can say I'm still a virgin in fixing a puzzle ya~! "^_^Heez~! So, please cheer for me and give me your moral support ya. It's gonna be a BIG challenge for me man~!

From This

To This

See the differences between the 1st 6hrs, and additional 12hrs~? Power huh~? Anyway, those are the easy ones. The worst had yet to come. By just fixing the Angel's Wing & the Piano, I had enough headache already~! Yet, the dark colour background is sure gonna kill me man~! They all look the same~! Anyone who can give me some good advise~? *scratch head* Haiz... 18hrs and I only complete the easy 40% or so~? Can I make it before X-mas~? I really hope so...

Well, thru solving the puzzle, I've learn something new too. That's Patience, Persistence & Self-Confidence~! There are time where I'm stuck, really STUCK~! Staring at the puzzle for a FULL 30min, yet I can't even put down one correct piece~! With the pressure that I had to rush the puzzle against time before X-mas, I panic if I would even make it...? Or worst... Can I complete the puzzle~?!! That's when I'll take a break like walk around my room, or listen to the music, or allow my eyes to rest for a while, or even go play with my niece & nephew... They're just so cute~! *sMiLe* Anyway, at the end of the day, I still continue fixing the puzzle. I did not give up~! At times, I even try fixing the puzzle at different angles. You'll be surprise of the results...

I mean, sometimes LIFE is like solving a puzzle. There'll be times where you'll get stuck with a problem, unable to solved it at that point of time. No matter how you push yourself, you just can't move an inch~! So, why not take a break then, or try looking at the problem at a different angle or prospective. You can even ask for help from people around you that really cares for you. (Well for my case, I wanted to complete the puzzle by MYSELF~!) So, never give up whenever you encounter a problem. Like I had say before... Never stop to HOPE, DREAM & LOVE~!

Anyway, just when I had planned to spend my Sunday at home cracking the puzzle, I was being "recall"~! What Luck~!?? Waking up at 0530hrs really makes my head spin. What's worst~? I had to wear that "Ninja-Turtle" suit~! By the time I'm done wearing it, I'm already sweating like a PIG~! *DuHzZz* It's so damn bloody tight & hot~! Don't say about comfort, if there's ever a need for an emergency nature calls then that's it man~! I can standby to stain on my pants already~! In total, there's like 4 to 5 complete sets of layers, now tell me where you find the time to take everything off, especially when there're so many equipments on me, as though I'm one Christmas-Tree like that~!

Smart~?

That's The Ninja-Turtle Suit~!

Well, everything wasn't so bad... As today I've got to enjoy my lunch to the FULLEST~! Why~? *sMiLe* Simply because Juliet cook spaghetti for me. Err... It's suppose to be fettuccini to be exact. Anyway, she's so nice~! There's this Cheese-Omelet, so special~! Never ever had I taste something like that before~! *YuMmY* Got to learn how to do it... That my friends, is what I call a XING FU meal (Meaning Happy & Content). Err... Don't jealous of me ya~! ^_^Haha~! I sounded like very proud like that~! Nah... Just kidding~! I'm just so HAPPY~! It's a afternoon well spent nicely~! *still smiling*

Then guess what~? My parents cook dinner today. How nice~?!! Nothing in the world can ever beats home-cook food, don't you have to agree with me~? *WiNkZ* Today is quite a memorable day for me... Not only am I feeling happy, I felt contented too~! What more would I ask for in a day like this...? I guess that'll be one nice sleep ba... Heez~! Lazy pig huh~? GoodNite peeps, Sweat Dreamz...

Here's how a person heavily in debt of sleep looks like when sleeping

Hi peeps, this entry is gonna a long one. Are you ready then~? I think I better cut the crap and move on with it...

I had been doing some workout (actually it's just push-ups) at home recently. Seems like it's giving me some cuttings on my muscles from my arms to my chest wor~! Err... I know I am a bit vain myself, but I just can't help noticing it. Too bad I just can't put on weight~! *ops* Well, don't be jealous of me ya~! Anyway, I just wonder why am I always so skinny, since young wor~!

Yesterday (22.11.2004) was a fruitful day for me~! Not only had I enjoyed myself, I've got to learn so much things too. Yet on top of that, I felt GOOD about myself at the end of the day... My programs yesterday was FULL man~! From 12pm to 1am, God~! Anyway, here's what happens.

I met up with Elmi at Plaza Singapura to watch a movie, "SHUTTER". Guess what~? I had know Elmi since secondary one, at a NPCC Camp @ Pulau Ubin. For about 10 years we had knew each other, never had we met up before... Be it for a show or meal, in a group or individual~! And we normally get to bump into each other on the streets. We do chat on the phone once in a while though. ^_^Haha~! Thus, yesterday was actually our so-called "1st date" man~! "SHUTTER" was a very nice movie which I think it's quite hard to come by for an Asian movie. Not only was it thrilling, the plot was nice with a good twist~! The good thing is, you won't go home with that "after horror movie effect", unless you had done something evil before...

After the show, I accompanied her to go shop for an evening gown, for her musical performance this Sat @ Victoria Theatre. Anyone who cares to go with me to support her~? It's only gonna cost you S$10/-. I do wish to go support her one, but just feels kinda boring to go watch a musical alone right~? Anyway, we came to see so many VERY NICE evening gowns... You GIRLS sure drool all over the floor when you sees the ones we saw man~! It'll even be an extra bonus if you have the height or figure~! Hey girls, trust me on this... You'll be so lost that you won't even know which one to choose~! Anyway, in the end, Elmi bought herself one at Daniel Yam, Wisma. It cost her S$135/- if I'm not mistaken. Yap, an evening gown is really not cheap at all...

After that, I met up with Winnie 1st. We went to Plaza Singapura to watch "Shark Tale". It was quite a funny cartoon, but somehow I didn't really like it that much. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice show ya. Just that dunno why I just dun really find it very entertaining. Maybe I'm really too old for cartoon liao... "^_^Haha~! Nah... Just kidding~!

After the show, I was so dead hungry liao because I haven't even really had a proper lunch, just a hotdog is all I ate the whole day. Winnie & I then met up with Emily & Weny for dinner, cum their '38 session'. We had our dinner at this eating house. Food standard still no bad, but the price is consider quite cheap man~! Soup plus salad & garlic bread as starter, main course (Spaghetti) and some fruits as dessert, with ice lemon tea. Yet it only cost less than S$8/- per person. Cheap right~? It's air-condition some more wor~! It's worth going there for a try.

After dinner, the 4 of us went to the Coffee Club outside California Fitness, which is opposite HMV. I had Ice Rambutan, Winnie had Ice Mango Tango, Weny had Vanilla Milkshake & Emily had Ice Mocha Latte. I made a joke out of myself while the waitress was serving the drinks to us. She was asking, "Who ordered Ice Rambutan~?", and I answered, "Oh, rambutan... Me~!" Then I just sound so funny saying that sentence, and all the 3 gals laugh~! The best part is... The waitress also laugh~! At that point of time, I somehow hoped that a black hole could suck me off to another dimension man...! *sigh*

Anyway, we chat a lot, about so many things. Some are funny stuffs, yet we can get into serious topics. I must say, it's good and beneficial for me to be able to join in a "Girls' Talk", cos I really got to learn a lot of things. I get to see things from a girl's point of view, think like a girl too... Err... I'm not gay or trying to be sissy here ya~! Just that, I find it necessary for a guy to understand certain things about girls. And it's not easy for a girl to express her feelings to a guy face to face, but yet she can while talking to her girls' friends. At the end of the conversation, I also got to find that I'm quite a nice guy after all. Hey, I'm not trying to flatter myself again ya, but it's true~! I really do feel that way. I'm not feeling proud or anything, just that I'm glad that my parents brought me up the right way with the correct discipline & attitude, and I'm grateful for them for doing so... And all these had yet given me more courage, to face the challenges ahead of me in the time to come.

Ok now, the last thing that I wanna blog today is... Is anyone interested to go watch the musical concert, Mamma Mia~? The last show will be on the 3rd Dec 2004. It seems quite nice lehz...! I was thinking of getting the S$98/- ticket seating. It has got quite a nice view, other than the VIP and 1st class seats lah, of course. So how~? Anyone keen about it~? For those interested parties, the dates we can work out ya...! Just give me a call at my handphone or can e-mail me or tag me here at the message board~! Till then, keep in touch peeps~! ^_^Take Care~! *WiNkZ*

Yo yo yo...! Yes, I'm BACK~! Wahahaha...! So do you peeps miss me~? Errr... I guess you all had read enough of "Juliet", thus I think it's better for me to blog something else... Arh bo you all either stop coming here to support me, or will sure organise a blanket party for me... "^_^Hee~!

I had finally replaced my stupid-fail-on-me monitor with a new one, erm, I mean a new 2nd hand one. Cost me S$75/- for it. It's a 17" COMPAQ monitor. Got it at SIM LIM Square. Lucky Freddy was there to help me with it, or else I also dunno how to bring it home man. Thankz wor, bro...

Then while my monitor was down, the server for Tag-Board also DOWN~! Such a coincident right~! Then I not good with HTML, thus dunno how to remove the message board from my blog, end up my blog is down also. Fed up man~! What luck~!?!

Today is quite a tiring day for me... Was in the rain during work, then caught in it for hours until I had to skip my lunch & dinner. Wet & cold, tired, hungry, awful sight & smell is what I had to bear thru the slow hours. Anyway if you watch the Channel U 7pm news, you might had seen me on TV. Yet after work, I still meet up with Freddy to go for a jog. My legs are about to give way already lor, thus we only ran a short distance tonite.

When I reach home, realise that Tag-Board is already up and running. Thus my blog here is also alive once again.

Anyway, I'll be on leave again next week. From Thursday (24th) to the following Tuesday (30th), so if anyone of you is free and wanna meet up with me for a show or meal, just drop me a message or call me ya... Well, quite a lot of things happened recently too. Also dunno where to start talking about from, it's giving headache also man~! I guess the best is IGNORE them, then should be no problem liao... ^_^Hee~! Clever right~? Well, I shall update some nice photos whenever there's a chance ba. So, stay tune here ya.... *WiNkZ*

If I have the letters "H.R.T" (Meaning Health, Riches & Time),
I can add "E.A" (Energy & Affection) to get a "H.E.A.R.T",
or a "U" (Which means you, and you only~!) and get "H.U.R.T."
But I'll rather choose "U" and get "H.U.R.T.",
than have a "H.E.A.R.T" without "U".

Today my monitor just suddenly gets well by itself. What a surprise~! Maybe I'm fated to blog today. But the problem is... What should I block about~? Hmmm... Let me see... My work is as busy as usual, recently a lot of my off days was cancelled again~! Very idiot one lor. Haiz.... What to do~? Everyone has to earn a living, isn't it~? Had been seriously in debt too~! *ops* I don't mean money, it's more worst wor. Seriously lacking of sleep is what I am experiencing now, a lot of things to do, yet like have only so little time...

As for highlights, I guess it's only gotta be yesterday. It's the most well spent day I had ever had for a very long time, or should I say never before~?!! Whatever it is, it had definitely brought my spirit to a higher level... *sMiLe* Err... As for details, I think it'll be one sweet secret between me and her. "^_^Heez... I think you guys wanna kill me liao right~? *still smiling away*

Oh, one last thing. I need a favour from you peeps. Does anyone of you have or knows anyone who wanted to throw/sell away their old monitor...? Preferably 17" one... Jonathon suppose to get back to me, but he didn't~! *DuHzZz* Keep me inform ya... Hopefully my monitor is still working when the next time I switch on my computer.

It seems that even a Super Hero has times when he's down. Not mentally, but physically... Even Spidey appeared exhausted after a long run of sleepless nights fighting crime. Thus, what makes me special~? My energy is hitting a high level of low now. Luckily, but unfortunately, I'm on medical leave now... Yes, I'm falling ill. *sigh*

Well, looking on bright side, I can finally take this chance to recharge myself. To rest, is to prepare myself to travel futher in life. When I'm back, I'll be fully energised again. Furthermore, I'll be sronger with my come back. I won't be so easily tear down by anything again. Be it virus or whatever... With both mentally and physically strong, I believe I can go futher with things get done at its BEST~! Then, I can once again put on my Super Hero attire. Wish me a speedy recovery ya... ^_^Hee~!

Peeps out there, do take care of yourself... It's easy to catch a flu now that the rainy season is here. Don't go out in the rain. Drink more water, and don't forget your blanket while you sleep at night. With that, I end my entry with Best Health wishes for you... See you guys tomorrow~! *WiNkZ*

***There's a secret in this entry~!***

***Keep it to yourself if you had found it ya***

In life, there are so many things happening... Some are mean well for us, but normally it's those things we felt bad of then we'll really take note of. Events that are so BIG will normally come so suddenly, giving us the deepest impact, catching us off guard.

Take the SARS and BIRD FLU incident for example, it just came "BANG" into our lives, affecting everyone. Some rich or well to do people went bankrupt, some healthy people even caught the virus who either is dead, or had their lives changed. Losing our loved ones is another BIG events in our lives. Some of us experienced it in a long, expected & painful way, but some had to take it in a shocking & lost manner... One incident which best illustrate this is the 9/11 terrorist attack incident. Everyone was still so happy going to work, kissing their loved ones in the morning before they go to work. Never did anyone expect that that person will be seeing/talking to their loved ones for the last time.

We tend to take our health for granted most of the time, I'm one of them. Some unfortunate people who thought they were healthy, suffered the deepest blow when they eventually got to know that they are terribly sick. Is it too late then...? *cross fingers*

Mood is affected in every case. It changes happiness to depression instantly. Such mood swing can happen in just a split second, how scary~! Well, a sudden change might not be always something bad~! It can cause sudden happiness too. Just like someone hit the lottery, or a tired man came back home after a long day's work and his wife tell him that he'll be a father soon. It's just that we take it as bad incidents affect us more greatly that's all...

That's just life, isn't it~? Thus at the end of the day, the Health and Wealth & Love that we owned, is it really ours~? I don't really think so... Fate can take everything away from you, if "it" really wanna be mean to you. Whatever that you think you owned, didn't really seems that you really own it any more. That's why I chose to do the best in whatever I can, as I don't want to regret in the future when I eventually lost it. Err... Except for the health part lah...! Don't give me that look can~?!! *DuHzZz*

Tell your loved ones that you love them today, be it your family, friends or lover. Do everything as though it's gonna be the 1st & last time you're doing it, be it study or work....etc. Just remember this, do your best and you'll not regret in the future. Do and say whatever that you had been keeping in you. Make that apology, change that job, marry that person, whatever... Like what Nike says, "Just Do It"~!

Specially For Juliet,

I had been helplessly falling in love for you, there's nothing much I can do though, but somehow I had enjoyed the whole process. It had taught me many things that I'm not aware off last time. Although you are not mine, but I'm still happy for you to have found and be with the best. At times when I'm weak, it tears my heart and I'm really sorry to have that shown, but I really didn't mean to. Your smile has never fails to make my day, and your presence has always given me strength. I wanna say a very BIG BIG BIG Thank You, as you had make a lot of dreams come true for me. Lastly & Most Importantly, I Love You~!
