Day of fun...

Mum told me Xian (my cousin)'s family had been harassed by loan sharks few days ago. The sharks were doin' their "painting" job or so called infamous vandalism act at their block (the elevators, walls, etc) where their home address had been included in the contents. They reported to the police n had no clue at all wat happened. The sharks probably got the wrong address... in fact i find it really funny. =) Anyway i dunno wat happened next... tats all i know.

Today is halloween nite n Jess's birthday celebration. I supposed to go to Zouk to meet her but due to the limp in my left leg i forgo the idea of squeezin' with the people. Other than tat, i m also rushin' for a conf paper submission which is due in two weeks. Ok anyway Jess i m sorry k? I hereby wish ya a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. =)

Ok today Xue did a really funny thing tat made me laugh inwardly for like the entire day. Ok the story goes like this, since long ago she has been askin' me to keep long hair which she claimed to look better on me... but i never like to have long hair esp in Singapore (so HOT)!! Then today she requested for a sexy pic fr me to prove me wrong or to convince me... so i sent her one n she added some hair to it...

It's sooooooo BENG.... damn hilarious!!!! Hahahahaaa....

Finally the monster is workin' hard

Last nite i had nothin' better to do n i took a pic of myself n colored my hair blue in the pic. Hahaaaa.... it looks hilarious, like a demon! =) I was extremely happy tat our monster was workin' really hard yesterday... we r the demon's family!! =) Ok i gotta prepare for class now.

A long Thur...

This mornin' was havin' breakfast with Dr Tay n Chen n we had an interestin' conversation on Vegas. Ok if ya dun see me back fr Vegas... i probably won too much $$ n retired. =) Anyway took Aunt's car to sch near noon n ya know wat? We lost our way bcos of a wrong turn. I m quite bad with directions after not "touching" vehicles for years... due to some reasons.

After a meetin' with Prof, i took a nap... n i m still feelin' so tired rite now. I'll be stayin' at the apartment in Clementi tonite, too lazy to go home. Our new Prof-to-be Wing will be joinin' me for dinner later, thanks Wing. Today Chris has a gatherin' with ZL n the rest, but i reckon i'll not be goin' since i m kinda tired. Hope yr guys enjoy yrself! =)

Was talkin' to Irene jus now n she might still wanna join me to Tokyo. I believe she's ravin' over Tokyo n yes i pretty like Japan too. Did ZL say i m the Tokyo raider? Hahaa... i dunno i've not watched tat show.

My sprained ankle is much better now, thanks to everyone who sent their rgds. I m thinkin' of goin' for a swim n some tannin' this weekend. N of cos not to forget abt my weekly workout n run. Stay healthy everyone! =)

CY sent me a msg abt the airfare sales... immediately i searched for fares to Australia... wow yes so cheap. =) Should i go Aust for a weekend? I've not been to Darwin, Artemis is there. Or Perth again but definitely not Sydney rite now.

Busy day

Ok my mobile phone was inundated with msgs yesterday, n i'd like to take this chance to elucidate tat my ankle is fine, jus a minor sprain n alittle swollen, so i'll be havin' a slight limp for a while... bear with me pls if ya're walkin' with me. Hmmm... dun worry abt me, its such a privilege, imagine i m takin' a train/bus now n people r givin' up their seats for me. =) Thank ya very much for those who sent their regards. Jesse (my American friend) knew abt it n msged me too, i reckon this really alarmed too many people. Yesterday i went spa with Dan, so this apparently shows tat i m ok. I was kinda tellin' Dan off abt this matter, i m sorry Dan tat i was alittle harsh with my words... but i really dun wan ya to make a fuss abt anythin'... n wat pissed me most was tat ya seemed to feel very glory n jolly abt it. Ok i m not blamin' ya now... jus remindin' ya again. Thanks. =)

Thanks for those who called/msged (tag, msn, sms, etc.) me: Sharon, Xue, Wyne, ZL, Jesse, Sophia, Shirley, burger, Elaine, Jess, Cat, Hen, Jenn, Daniel, Ling, Chris, etc. Mum was astounded when i got home. She uttered "Hey wat happened to yr leg? Ya seem more like a wrestler than a.... blah blah...". =)

Ok some updates abt my Tokyo trip. Hmm... initially Irene wld be goin' with me, but i had told her tat i'd prefer to go alone for some reasons. I've some friends there, so i m not gonna be bored anyway. =) Ok this time i promise i'll bring along my camera to take some lovely pics. I dun haf the habit of bringin' camera esp if i m travellin' alone, i can't take pics of myself.

Exams r around the corner, n i'd like to wish all the best to those who r havin' exams. REMEMBER to study hard n fight for the best results ya deserved. =) Its not for anyone but yrself! If stress keeps ya awake/uncomfortable/havin' nightmares, here r some tips for ya.

- Keep yr bedroom cool, quiet n dark.
- Drink a cup of relaxin' tea, e.g. chamomile n no alcohol or coffee.
- Massage yr feet (esp with warm oil).
- Listen to relaxin' or self-hypnosis music.
- Dun watch tv in bed, it keeps ya awake.
- Dun over-eat, try eat abt 3 hrs b4 bedtime.
- If countin' sheeps doesn't work, try countin' Jimmy. =)

Funny pic

Xue created this pic to cheer me up. Thanks, its hilarious.... tats me!!

Ashamed of myself

I assume while I was asleep my subconscious was taking inventory. I m so ashamed of myself lately. Let me jus list some examples. I m in collaboration with another few of us on an international conference paper (to be published), supposed to finish by end of this month but i m still far fr finishin' rite now. Alex was kinda distressed tat we may not make it on time for this year submission. Moreover, I m like fallin' in love with someone who has a bf, such a fool. AND furthermore today i failed a task which mum asked me to accomplish. This made mum really upset. And jus an hr ago ZL called me n told me everyone was disappointed with me for backing out on the event thing. I feel sooo... sorry, everyone is so nice to me n i m failing them. I know yr guys who read this will be very disappointed with me too. I promise i'll change for the better.

Cancelled trip

Supposed to go Malaysia with Aunt this mornin' to do some matters, but i didn't go in the end. Aunt went herself. Mum said i looked really bad today... like i had not been sleepin' for days so she stopped me. She was quite pissed off n questioned me why i didn't sleep last nite n she could hear me middle of the nite. Yes i was busy last nite... i feel so guilty now!! =(

Yes i understand there's a time for work and a time for play. I always understand this phase n its really my fault this time. Ok i've a very bad headache, i gotta rest for a while n get back to work.

Last song on piano

I'll stop playin' the piano for a while. Told Chris this mornin' n someone will be replacin' me in the event thing. =) I played this song on piano yesterday, my last song. I like it, pretty cool.

Doing what you know is wrong

Just now a friend called me and we were into this topic. I'm sure we've all heard of people sayin' these exact words when it comes to doin' thing we all know is wrong, i.e. stealin', drugs, murder, tax evasion, etc. So why do people still commit it if they know it's wrong? It's because morality is not the only factor that's taken into consideration when rationalizin' a decision. Human psychology is way more complicated than we can imagine.

Let's take a persona of a dietician. He's supposed to be a health freak who order a protein shake at the cafe, carry his own low-calories sweetener in his pocket at all times, and a part of his home smells like a pharmacy. But knowin' McDonald is unhealthy, he might still eat it in spite of that.

And did you ever fall for someone you know you shouldn't? Tryin' really hard to fight your feelings, but you just couldn't. You fall deeper with each passin' day, but try to hide it in every possible way. You keep explainin' that he/she is just a bud, but deep inside you've fallen in love. You keep pretendin' that you don't care and remindin' yourself it's not right for you two to be, but on your mind you are thinkin' of him/her all day long. How long can you pretend? Will you be hurtin' anyone involved? There are many factors you should consider. Ask yourself if you are doing the right thing, don't live with regrets.

Thanks mum

This mornin' when i came back home i saw these different brands of chicken essence on the table. Ok mum was not tryin' to murder me by impellin' me to finish them all, she jus wanted me to pick one. I was really touched, thanks mum. =) Guess which one i picked? Got the one on the left with bird's nest.


Ok the followin' pic was taken few months ago durin' our dragonboat's competition 2008, we won a medal. It's not a commercial advertisement abt winnin' a medal after havin' the chicken essence. =) Ok anyway I miss my team so much when i happened to see our pics jus now. I was quite fit n tan at tat time, n it was jus so fun with the awesome people ard. I renounced this sport due to other work commitments. =(


Ok gotta take a rest now. Catch ya guys later!

Aunt Jen's admission to hospital

I m very sad today. Today is Aunt Jen's day 1 admission to hospital due to cancer. Yesterday she came to our place for a little gatherin', but i cldn't make it back on time to meet her anyway. How wld ya feel if ya first learn tat ya've cancer? Ya may feel as if yr life is totally out of control, ya wonder if ya'll live or die. Yr daily routine will be messed up by doctor visits n treatments, ya feel tat the hospital has become yr 2nd home. Ya can't do things ya enjoy, ya jus feel helpless. Ya may feel depressed too n have little energy, feel tired n not wantin' to eat.

I feel really helpless now, which reminds me of tat moment when my maternal grandma was losin' her last breath. I was only 13 n i jus felt so helpless, bewildered n kept cryin'. I prayed to God again today, jus like how i prayed for grandma. I hope God will ans my prayer this time. N Aunt Jen, we'll all be with ya to fight against the disease.

Heaven knows

I m really happy yesterday tat Sharon n Sophia found the piano score "Heaven knows" for me. I was tryin' to search for it everywhere, in NIE, library, etc... but jus cldn't find it. Thank guys. You people are so resourceful. =)

Lyrics (favorite parts)
-----------------------

She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up
till I close my eyes
She's everywhere i go
She's all I know

And though she's far away
It jus keeps gettin' stronger
everyday...
And even now she's gone
I'm still holding on
....
.....

Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
cause heaven knows...

My friends keep tellin' me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in time
I know she's mine
.....
Don't wanna let her go...
.....
.......

Calmin' down

Today i received a gift fr a friend. She recorded one of my favorite songs with her vocal for me. The song was supposed to be for her but now she has recorded it for me. I m really really touched n surprised, thank ya so much!

I received msgs fr friends who were sendin' their rgds to me, thank all of yr so much. Selina, Wyne, Jas, Sharon, Zhangli, Sophia, Jess, Feliza, ... thankssss!! Wyne rem our Sentosa trip after yr exam, study hard. =)

Ok i gotta stop smthin' fr today bcos i m really goin' crazy!!! =( I gonna engross myself into work... i m easily in a state of jealousy n emotionally upset lately. I've rehearsal tonite, tat gonna keep me busy n i miss everyone there.

Melancholy mood

Today i'm totally in a melancholy mood for the entire day. Mum called me to promulgate the news tat Auntie Jen's cancer was confirmed today, n she gonna be admitted to the hospital fr this Tue to an "unknown" date. I m very upset bcos she is one of my favorite aunts. Yes life is jus so vulnerable, we dunno abt tomorrow... we jus live fr day to day. Who in this world can be sure tat he has a tomorrow? Or he can live till next month?? So i always tell my friends tat wakin' up healthy each day is already a bonus.

I'm very upset when people i care/love are gonna leave me. I felt really hurt when someone i care/love told me she needed a break from me, or she'd be leavin' me alone. People cherish wat ya have now... bcos ya dunno how long it'd last.

I probably will stop updatin' my blog for awhile, unless i've smthin' impt to update. Meanwhile feel free to drop me a msg, thanks.

Midnight oil

Woke up middle of the night, i guess i turned in too early last nite due to a bad headache. I feel so much better now. Feel like goin' out to get some food/drinks but it seems like freezin' outside, or maybe it's jus my imagination (i'm temporarily lacking consciousness). =)

Internet is sooo damn slow here tat i m crawlin' through the pages while dreamin' of things. I m hallucinatin' abt Ultraman fightin' the "monster", n abt havin' the monster here with me so i'll be laughin' till sunrise. I miss my little cousins too... i promised to get them sushi (their favorites) when i see them again. =)

I've problem loggin' in msn, either msn is down or my connection is jus too slow to login. I m now readin' an email fr a friend which she attached some pics she took yesterday (by herself). I jus can't stop chucklin' now... the way she posed... is hilarious!!! =) Thank ya my dear friend, ya never fail to perk me up. I m thinkin' of puttin' 1 or 2 pics here but i reckon i better not without yr permission.

Ok i m gettin' back to sleep soon, gdnite everyone!

Heaven knows

Nostalgia photo

Today i woke up with a slight fever but i got an errand to run. My head was kinda heavy... wat happened to me!?!?!! I was in a melancholy mood yesterday so perhaps tat really made me sick too. Haf ya ever had a nostalgia for something (e.g. pics, someone etc.) or somewhere (places)? Yes i do, which is Australia. I almost haf forgotten abt some words like "Telstra", "Myer", "Commonwealth", "Woolworths", "Coles", etc. Met up with Dr Wilson for dinner, n i gotta turn in early as i m not feelin' too well today.

Some random pics:
Curtin (Perth City Campus) - reminded me of a friend


Telstra


Myer

Commonwealth

Woolworths

Bus station

Other interestin' pics i miss...



I was told tat there was a Pasar Malam (meanin' night markets in Malay) in Curtin's Alcoa Court yesterday evenin'. I heard it was fun... with over thousands people n 40 stalls, n music + performances. Wow... how cld someone has missed tat???!!

Sad sad day!

Was in uni for the whole day, then met up with Irene for dinner at IMM Crystal Jade. I never like Crystal Jade but Irene wanted so i gave in.



Soup

Fish

Beef, chicken n pork

Fried rice

Desert


Sometimes i feel really really... pessimistic abt friends. Have ya ever wondered who r yr true friends? I've friends who are there to try gettin' every single penny fr ya. Ok not to mention names. Person A: Only meet her once in a blue moon, but everytimes we met she wld borrow some $$ explainin' her pathetic situation, the very last time she borrowed $200. N she never understand the meanin' of "borrow" since she has never returned a single cent since the 1st time she borrowed. Person B: A gd friend n we usually meet like once in two months or smthin', he wld prepare a stack of insurance contract docs for me to choose. I'd usually haf to ask him "Can we dun talk abt this now?" And there r still Person C n D n E n F.... which i dun wanna get started with. I really feel very saddened the way some friends r makin' use of me, or takin' me for granted. Come on i m not rich, keep tat in mind!!! Even if tat person is rich... ya shouldn't make use of him.

I was very happy when a friend asked me to save, so touched. Today i've spent a pretty penny again. =( I've the paranoia symptoms now...

Happy birthday to daddy

Today is daddy's birthday, a day which i've excuse to pig out (overindulge in eatin'). Had a gd chat with monster yesterday before turnin' in. Despite sleepin' late, i woke up rather early this mornin', abt 9.30am. Was tryin' to finish up some work before the guests came. I played the piano for a while in the afternoon, was kinda thinkin' of someone. I rem writin' this long ago...

"Missin' someone is terrible but at the same time, a sweet feelin'. Ya'll be sittin' ard wonderin' if ya meant anythin' to him/her. Sittin' in front of the tv dreamin' of him/her. Thinkin' of how nice it'll be to sit under the stars together... talkin' abt everythin'..."

But sometimes i'd rather avoid situation like this... its jus not right, e.g. he/she already haf a bf/gf, married, or doesn't wanna be in a relationship, etc etc. I rem readin' this "How to stop missin'/get over someone? Instructions: Give yrself time, keep busy (with new hobby, friends, work, holiday, etc.), less contact with him/her, n focus on his/her bad qualities. Actually i find this relatively true. =)

Ok again i'd like to wish my dad a happy birthday.

Happy birthday Daddy

Aunt Jen called me around noon n informed me tat Dad fainted. It freaked me out n i scuttled home immediately. Family doctor came to our place (before me) n explained it was mainly due to low blood sugar. Each of our brains depends on a constant supply of sugar fr the blood to work properly n keep us awake. Thank God (whichever God since i'm a freethinker) tat Dad is ok now. Tomorrow (Thur) is Dad's birthday n we gonna have a celebration for him. Happy birthday daddy! =)

Received several msgs fr awesome friends like LVmonster, Wyne, ZL, Dan, Chris, Sharon, Xue, Jas, Angel, ... thank ya so much. LVmonster n Wyne r havin' exams soon, must study hard k?! Be gd!! Aunt Angela sent me home today n i saw full moon again. It was sooo... beautiful.

Full moon


I'm bookin' flights to Tokyo n Perth. I can't wait to see my best friend Jesse in Tokyo. He's not Japanese but American anyway. LVmonster is in Perth, Singaporean... actually i'd like to meet her too. =) Other than tat, i've already booked flights to Manila n Vegas last month. So much travellin'.

Under one moon

Home is a phenomenal place n feelin' nostalgic is a normal response to bein' separated fr the people n places tat give ya a sense of belongin'. Most people miss home at some point in their lives. Although the sad feelin' could be subsided over time, there's still nowhere better than home. Last nite i was askin' this little boy in the hospital if he did miss home. He ans me no, n claimed tat he n his family were still under one moon at the same time. Thinkin' abt it.. was quite true as the moon looks the same for those people who can see the moon at tat time, for those livin' not too far away. The moon's orbit ard the Earth takes it 360 degrees in abt 30 days, relative to the Sun. So i was thinkin' for countries which have the same time zone, we r probably under one moon at the same time. =) The moon i saw was really round yesterday, how abt yrs? Did ya miss someone when ya were lookin' at the moon??

Tat reminded me of an old chinese song translated as "The moon represents my heart". It's a sad song n i feel really sad at this moment listenin' to it.

Funny t-shirts

There are some funny t-shirts with featured plus amusin' pics, wacky quotes, slogans and jokes that will put a smile on anyone's face. But get this clear that i'm not encouragin' any of you to get any of these tees, and never even think of gettin' me one as a present or askin' me to get you one. =)

Ok the first pair of tees is my favorite, wear these when you're with yr sucky boyfriend/girlfriend.
The rest are pretty funny too. =)



How cld i forget our Miss Wyne?!?!

Wyne asked me why did i leave msgs for many people in my previous post but not her? Yes yes my dear Wyne, how wld i have forgotten abt ya? Its not true, but yr name wasn't mentioned bcos i did not haf anythin' to tell ya at tat moment. Ok now i've smthin' to tell ya... jus for ya alone. "Wyne: Please study hard n show me yr "color" result slip after yr exam. =)"

Sis called me this mornin' n asked me to rush back for daddy's birthday on a couple of days away. I m still thinkin' wat to buy for him...

Borin' Saturday @home

Woke up really late today (11pm) as i slept at around 2am last nite after playin' the piano. There r some guests (mum's friends) at home today havin' a mini party. They brought lotsa stuff to cook... or for bbq i m not sure, while some r playin' mahjong (a game originated in China).

Mum had ironically congratulated me tat i m once again the winner (as a squanderer) in the house for last month. For credit cards' bills alone i spent over S$4,000, excludin' my cash expenses. She again reminded me to get a wife who can help me save in future. Yeah, some people just haf a natural flair for stickin' to their budgets, while some need a little "wiggle room" in order to feel at ease. I feel really guilty too tat i caused mum to lose S$15,000 on some investments tat i suggested to her. She has never blamed me at all but tat doesn't make me feel any better. She doesn't accept my money if not i wun mind payin' her back the sum.

I m workin' on an experiment with Alex lately. I promised to show him the results before he comes back fr US... so i gonna be busy these few weeks. N we gotta submit an international conf paper by mid Nov before i fly off to Vegas. So my dear friends... i can only see ya guys in few weeks time. Happened to see Dr Chen not too long ago, she's a research scientist specialized in research on cancer n the role tat natural herbs can play in healin' people with tat disease. We were talkin' abt her n I hope i've a chance to learn fr her one day. Ok enough of too much naggin', gonna get back to work!!

Summin' up my Friday

Early class compelled me to wake up as early as 6.30 in the mornin'. I was kinda flounderin' on the bed for like 10 mins b4 i could really got up. FRIDAY... my favorite day of the week. I was quite happy tat all my students managed to finish n submit their assignments on time... yes the dateline was fixed n non-extendible, was completely intransigent!!

Met up Alex for lunch before he fly to San Diego this Sunday. I miss travellin' with him but this year we do not haf a chance to travel together. Last year we went Hongkong, Chicago n Texas together... so fun, n yes of cos for work.

Yesterday i kinda know a friend, Shirley's friend dubbed as LV monster currently locatin' in Perth. She's kinda bluntly with a great sense of humor. She harpooned me for everythin' i say... kinda kook but hilarious!! =) Yes glad to know some fun people, life is bored!! I tried to intimidate her with my 260 pounds story... lol.

Headed to the gym, followed by meetin' Wing for steamboat n bbq. I loathed the smell on me after bbq so i gotta rush home for a shower b4 headin' out again to meet the rest for mum's birthday rehearsal. Yes we wanna have a phenomenal moment with mummy. Ok didn't smug abt it, the rehearsal wasn't too gd, still kinda chaotic n twirly... we gotta be more organised!!

Burger fans?

Hmm... are you a burger fans? If yes the Heart Attack Grill in Phoenix Arizona will sound like an awesome place for you. A 8,000 calories burger is jus sellin' for about US$10. Yes a place like this is literally a dying breed... haha. =) But this heart attack grill has turned bad press into big business. It is slowly expandin' to other locations.

The heart attack grill is a hospital theme restaurant, where the customers are referred to as "patients", orders as "prescriptions", and the waitresses as "nurses". The waitresses' nurse costumes n behavior have caused the most controversy. Of course these nurses are not real nurses. This issue caused them into minor trouble, but even things like a lawsuit n least healthy menu couldn't pull this restaurant down. The heart attack grill deserves a salute for its ingenuity n ability to turn bad press into free international publicity. Go and have a try, but make sure your cardiologist doesn't know about it. =)

Heart Attack Grill in Arizona.

Menu includes the triple n Quad bypass burgers.

In detail, the burger weighs in at a hefty 8,000 calories.

Waitresses dressed as nurses.

Welcome back ZhangLi

ZhangLi (our Er hu talent) is back in Singapore. Chris, Jenn, David, Elgene, a few more n i were at the airport to pick her up last nite. She was loved for her blithe spirit... n everyone was jus so glad to see her again at the airport. We had a merry time at Chris's place after her touch down, alittle welcome celebration for her. We did smthin' really crazy, like everyone gotta come out with a performance instantly. Chris's place has all the equipments beside camera. He has this "no phototaking" house rule for the past decade. I guess its bcos as a pro he doesn't like us to mess around with silly pics sendin' everywhere.

The hilarious part last nite is where few of us teamed up to perform Hotel California (The Eagles)... ZhangLi almost died of laughin' (n maybe mesmerized by us... lol). Each of us was wearin' a wig n Chris added on with a cool cowboy jacket. Yes we look sooo... damn dorky!! When we came out Chris intro our team as "The Tweety". Despite all the silly parts, i was quite impressed with these people who played the instuments so well. Most of them are pro performers under Chris. ZhangLi is one of them. Compare to them i'm really jus a little tweety. =)

Ok no matter wat, i still miss the Eagles... one of my favorite bands. Lets have a look at their performance back in the 70s.

Sentosa trip

Today (Sunday) I went Sentosa with Jess. I had not been there for quite a while n it's one of my favorite places in Singapore. I brought along abit of Scotch whisky (Johnnie Walker), drinks n pies. Yes was kinda fun although i wasn't feelin' too well throughout. I'm down with flu n sore throat since this mornin'. We only managed to stay at Tanjong beach (well-known for its clear water, golden sand, n plenty of palm trees) n did abit of swimmin'. I wish to explore more of Sentosa in the comin' future.

Another conference trip comin' up

Oh can ya believe tat???? There's another conference in Tokyo tat i gotta attend n give a presentation. I m still prayin' hard tat my professor will go rather than me. One of us gotta go by hook or by crook as we are the authors of a relevant paper. I m really really really... tired of travellin', n i m the kinda person who doesn't like to travel around. I gotta go Manila, Vegas n LA soon. Yes some of you may be really excited n ravin' over the trip to US, Europe or somewhere else, but i m not. In fact i rarely even wanna reveal where n when i'll be goin' to anyone. There r many reasons behind this, one reason is tat I rem once i went Paris n there were like more than 10 friends askin' me to help them get stuff like LV bags, wine, designer clothes, etc etc. Imagine i spent most of my time rummagin' around for the goods they wanted n my luggage bag became so hefty in the end. Yes i felt dorky!

BUT but... i'll be proud if i could travel to space one day, i'll definitely reveal it to everyone n place yr order for wat ya wan!! =) Tats my dream!!! Do ya rem Dennis Tito? He became the 1st traveller to pay for a trip to space, spendin' US$20 million. Can i be the 2nd one with a 99% discount??

Hari Raya Puasa

Today met up with Ade for lunch. I had not seen her for ages n really happy to see her again. It's Hari Raya Puasa today, which is one of the most prominent of all Muslim festivals in Singapore. It was kinda crowded in the city, but i reached home pretty early. I gotta finish some work today.

Mum told me she met Aunt for lunch, together with the three maids. Then an old uncle from nowhere on the street asked her "Hey why do you need three maids? Isn't tat too many??... etc etc." My mum was laughin'... on the other hand she was wonderin' wat the man was tryin' to do. =) There r two diff groups of people in Singapore. Grp 1: People who do not wanna bother abt anythin', who cares abt the GST (goods n services tax) increment, who cares abt inflation. Grp 2: People who get agitated abt everythin', they jus wanna complain whenever they haf a chance.

Ok lastly i would like to wish all our muslim friends a happy Hari Raya Puasa.
