I miss...

Tats lotsa work to be done...n i m kinda overwhelmed. Feel like givin' up, i miss my Aussie buddies, i miss flyin' a viper, i miss "beaching", i miss the "no-stress" carefree weekends....etc. To deal wif stress, i go swimmin', tannin', joggin', gym...at least once a week (usually weekend). This evenin' i'm meetin' up wif Bryan 4 basketball. I luv the tanned n fit me...i m back in shape again!! :) Bryan explained tat if ya wanna be a doctor...life is gonna be stressful. If ya jus work in an office 8-5, ya'd enjoy more.

Chris called me today n asked if i'd like to perform wif ZL in the comin' event, one of my favorite songs "Sorry seems to be the hardest word". Hmm...will see!

I wanna introduce yr guys this elegant piece of music by Ryuichi Sakamoto fr the comin' movie "The Leap Years".

Gd workout today!

Been rather busy lately...which means less bloggin'...but still wanna update smthin' 2 my blog as i mentioned b4 this blog is like my diary. 20 or 50 yrs down the road i cld still read abt everythin' tat happened in the past. N maybe it cld be a legacy to my children n grandchildren too. :P

Had a long 2 hrs meetin' with supervisor Prof Yow yesterday....abt the rebuttal of one of our conf papers. Met up Bryan at Bugis where he passed me the map of Bangkok with some highlighted locations (shoppin', temples, etc.) tat i should visit. Thank ya very much bloke!

Today went 4 a swim at Tampines swimmin' complex n then met up wif Joel in the gym. We haf similar sense of humor n think along the same line. E.g., runnin' to Tampines fr our place is sooo... not far, n finishin' a whole 1 litre of fruit juice within mins is jus so cool!! Moreover we like gym n joggin'. Now i know why we r buddies. :P

Long run with Joel

Met up Joel today for a long run, fr Pasir ris to Tampines n back Pasir ris... i reckon abt 5km. He was kinda out of breath after abt 3km. My stamina is quite gd lately.... i wasn't out of breath at all even when i reached the finishin' stop. Hadn't met up wif him for quite awhile so we chatted durin' our dinner. I told him abt my Bangkok trip in March n he was like kept remindin' me to bring more condoms... wat kinda buddy is this?? :P:P

Sports day & sorry Selina

Went swimmin' n alittle of suntannin' at Tampines wif Xing today. We tried the spicy Mala beef (left) n chicken (right) noodles after.... HOT... for me but not Xing. We hangout at starbucks 4 awhile b4 headin' back home. Meetin' Joel 4 runnin' tmr.

Amazing race Asia season 2 episode 13

I was bewildered n disheartened when i heard the news tat Marc n Rovilson lost in the Amazing race Asia 2, they went in 3rd. Mum jeered at me for my inanity... she uttered "Ya r not gettin' a single cent even if they won...why r ya so upset?". But they were jus too gd to lose. They won 8 out of 11 legs in the race... tell me which teams ever in amazing race won 8 legs?? Its jus wasn't their day in the final leg!! But still they r the legends. Amazing race Asia 2 ep 13... i'm not gonna watch it! To me Marc n Rovilson r the winners!! :)

Comin' to face the reality, Singaporeans Collin and Adrian won the race n bringin' home US$100,000...congratulation n yes they r both very nice people i gotta agree.

Valentine's day

Oh well... if ya are feelin' lonely, Valentine's day is just a painful reminder of how alone ya feel. Ya see happy couples walk by and ya'd be eaten up by jealousy and anger. Everywhere there are flowers, hearts, cupids n pictures of romantic couples exchangin' deep and meaningful glances in this phenomenal day. But to those lonely souls out there, ya are not alone... i'm single too. :)

Way back into love

Chinese New Year

Woke up real early n went a couple of places wif family. We went to my paternal grandma's hse. The relatives n grandma were jolly 2 see us... n i luv 2 see them 2. Since i came bk Singapore 2 years ago, i get 2 see them like jus once a year. Mum n Sis who tried their cookin' commented tat the foods were terrible. I seriously reckon tat my family includin' myself r very fussy abt foods... which may not be 2 gd. I saw the rest of the ppl enjoyin' the foods beside my family, n i didn't try. I hope grandma's eyes will get better... really saddenin' 2 see her eyesight gettin' fr bad 2 worse. We went Aunt's hse rite after. Aunt isn't any better. She's havin' a lump/tumour on one of her breasts n need 2 go 4 operation next week. She's really worried n been losin' her appetite lately. Tat reminds me of Xian n i hope she's thoroughly fine now. We went other places 2, on n on... N 4 tmr lotsa guests will come 2 our place.

Near the evenin' Xue called me 2 get 2 her place. I didn't know i was the only friend she invited n i felt kinda awkward as her family n relatives assumed i was her boyfriend. Yeah but her aunties n uncles (dunno which cousins) were really friendly ppl n chatted wif me causally n unceremoniously. Xue was beautiful today, dressed up like a little princess. :) I like her char 2, nice decent gal who never flirt or havin' affair wif anyone. :P I read Ming's site n i was really disappointed 2 see the comments left by some mushy n slushy guys (her dates). E.g., "Out of whoever I have in the past, love you the most...", "let us start over again...", "Wish tat this is a forever affair... ", "Wanna say I LOVE YOU (no. 1154) Mauckiez dearie" etc etc. How cld she stand all these??? But i reckon she likes it. Anyway its none of my biz. :)

Finally booked flight 2 Bangkok!

Been wantin' 2 go Bangkok 4 long n finally i m goin' next mth. I've jus booked the flights today. Bryan was so excited when he heard abt me goin' Bangkok... which is his favorite destination. :) He overwhelmed me wif places of interest 2 go, hotel, spa, massage, pub, pretty thai gals etc. Thank mate!! :P I still haf 2 book flight 2 UK.

Chinese new year is comin' this Thur (tmr in fact). Went supermarket 2 haf our final shoppin' in the evenin', wif mum. I bought quite alot of stuffs 4 myself regardless of the price rise....e.g., my avocadoes fr $2.99 to $3.15 per pair. Mum commented tat i gotta find a wife who knows how 2 save $$... hahaa. Hmm... come 2 think of it, its quite true 2, since young i've not had any worries abt $$ n bein' 2 pampered by family. :) Jus for fruits n milk alone i spent like $200+ a month now. Ok i also gotta save up more $$. I wan my future wife n i to live a happy, luxurious, prodigal, debauched, hassle-free n comfortable life. :P Wow!!

I wan a getaway holiday

I wanna haf a getaway holiday asap..., whichever places... Bangkok, Koh Samui, Batam resort, Cebu Philippines. I was so excited n energized when talkin' abt tat wif Bryan n Ming. N then i was more engrossed when we chatted abt spa n therapy, massage, resort... etc... Arhh... can't wait anymore!! Really happy chattin' wif Ming today, it was like before when i first know her... the friendly n hilarious her who cheered me up alot.

Went to the gym but i cldn't do much today. My arm hurts. :( When can i do pull-ups again!?!?! Anyway hope it wun rain tmr... i wanna go swimmin'.

Amazing race asia 2 and Edison Chen's sex scandals

I m addicted to this reality show "Amazin' race Asia 2". This is one of the best series i've seen so far. These two teams (Collin and Adrian; Marc and Rovilson) r really cool n kinda blew me away acutely.

(Pic extracted fr AXN). Collin & Adrain - Singaporeans, won 2 races out of 11 to date.

(Pic extracted fr AXN). Marc & Rovilson - Filipinos, won 7 races out of 11 to date. I like to see Marc & Rovilson more in the show as they r hilarious ppl who jus joke abt anythin' at anywhere. :) They simply haf the hunk factor n brains. I hope they'll win!!

(Pic extracted fr AXN). Paula & Natasha - Thailand, won 0 out of 11. I like this team too but they've been eliminated last week fr the race. Yeah although they've pretty faces, they were not as fast as the 4 guys "up" there in the races. However, i like the attitudes of them durin' the races. They always smile no matter in gd or bad situations. I saw lotsa teams argued n quarrelled among themselves in the races, but ya cld never see this team quarrel, yeah not at all. I reckon one shouldn't blame yr partner when smthin' goes wrong... jus calm down n think of how to solve the problem instead of wastin' time fightin' among yrself.

Recently in the newspapers i saw this Edison Chen's sex scandals n heard abt it too fr some friends. Frankly speakin' i had no idea who Edison Chen & Gillian Chung were until this malicious gossip. I kinda pity them n i m not sure if those photos r "real". Its not too difficult to make these kinda pics 4 any gd photo editors. Many of the ppl/bloggers are beginnin' to discuss/write abt this... chatterin' n jeerin' abt the hair smwhere, their parts smwhere, etc, etc. Come on... it may not be real, dun be fooled. The two victims must be feelin' really terrible now, give them a break.

Our frenchman is here in Singapore

One of my buddies Gaetan is here in Singapore today. He was takin' the new A380 superjumbo jet here... wow wow!! The new terminal 3 was really quiet... cldn't see much ppl around.

I waited 4 him outside the gate in T3 n he crept out after quite a while... this slow bloke!

Pic of T3.

Another pic of T3, the huge fan.

The bloke was takin' pic.

He was hallucinatin'... abt his gfsss in Aust/France/Indo/... :P

He was prayin' hard... haha.

He was munchin' hard...

Yup we went to the City, followed by Chinatown n we kinda get lost as usual... ha, yeah i m a really bad tourguide.


Was really crowded in Chinatown n we cldn't find anythin' we cld buy there... but we kinda like the Chinese new year atmosphere ard.

Late nite calls

Been sleepin' quite late lately, doin' work. I'm really pleased today tat i've derived an algorithm (wif lotsa mathematical formulas) to rapidly increase the efficiency of our system, which will be used for demos/presentations. Gaetan will be visitin' Singapore tmr (or today since its abt 2am now)... so i gonna sleep soon.

Been receivin' late nite calls lately fr Selina... the nite b4 at 4am and tonite at 1.25am in the mornin'. I didn't sound very happy on the phone but i didn't yell at her or so. Maybe she took it as a surprise 4 me but i m not too used to receivin' late nite calls or chattin' at nite. :) N i found out later tat the reason she called was jus to say gdnite... weird gal. :P Anyway thanks 4 callin'... hmmm... but i prefer a gdnite sms next time. :)
