Osaka trip

Was in Osaka for a biz trip with a senior colleague last week. Was alittle disgruntled in the beginning, esp when my senior insisted tat i had to join in the "meeting for next year budget and plans" with them around 4pm+ (Osaka time). I shdn't be involved but he jus didn't wanna release me slightly earlier to do my shopping. I didn't wanna attend and so you know.... the situation didn't turn up too gd. I am someone who doesn't like to do or being forced to do things tat i dun wanna do, or sucking up to my senior or boss or whoever. Anyway I'm not annoyed with him anymore, come to think of it he's still a nice guy, he's the one who proposed to bring me there and has been taking care of me all along.

Ok so in the evenings in Osaka i usually tried to do some shopping, aiming to find a hello kitty store. Yeah i know... its hilarious, i cldn't believe it too... a man like me was actually hunting around for a hello kitty store. Felt really silly and hurt when she somehow said "Give to someone else, I am not interested"... sigh. One of the evening i rushed to ShinSaiBashi by myself.

Some food i had... (random pics)

I like this...

Anyway touched down in Singapore around 5.30pm, mum wanted me to rush down to meet her lawyer friend to settle some legal docs. Around 9pm was out again after a quick shower to catch up with my buddies, had a gd chat with them while passing them some mochi i got from Osaka. Dead tired now.... gonna turn in, gdnite!!

An Jing (Piano recorded)

One of my all time favorite songs, played on my portable piano this time. Performed this song twice years ago in some events, and up to now i still reckon its an awesome song. I play this song when i m sad. Day 2: kitty called n i finally smiled. =)

Original MTV

Today is Valentine's day, i received quite a number of bizarre smses/msgs. E.g. an ex msged me if i wanna catch a movie or if not she cld pass me a pair of movie tickets; a friend asked me to go sentosa after work (wat?? So late!!!); a friend asked me to perform her a song (wat?? I m not a part-time entertainer); some asked where i'd be going (come on stop stalkin' me, i'm sure u've better things to do); etc etc. But i really luv this card given to me by Ade (but i m not disclosin' the contents), its kinda sweet isn't it? Sigh, can luv be trusted???

Happy Valentine's day

Happy Valentine's day to all couples around the world. I bought myself some gifts (clothings) today. =P Hahaa... yeah i know its hilarious but stop jeerin' at me. Day 1: I miss kitty. Watched the music video (mtv) many times.


Valentine's resolution: I wish to find someone who really love me (as wat i m) n of cos i must luv her too. =) Maybe i don't dare to believe/trust anymore... sigh. You know its scary... it really hurts when you stepped onto the nails!! I m always stereotyped as stupid by some friends (e.g. DAMN Bryan and Dan just said tat again today) bcos it seems tat there are many gals around me but i m jus sooo not interested. They envy me so much but dunno tat i m actually 100% taking the gals purely as friends... nothin' else. So again, whoever I luv or don't luv or hate, i wish tat you will find your prince/princess one day.

Bad Friday

I'm usually head over heels on Friday... regardless of how much workload i have. But this Friday (today) I am extremely gloomy. I don't wish to talk/blog about it, maybe I was just being silly to believe... Anyway won't wanna think about it anymore.

Happy new year

Happy new year everyone. What did i do on 1st Jan 2011? I went cycling with my cycling buddies, 8 of us cycled around Singapore. I bought this Fuji road bike for this cycling trip. We reached changi village for breakfast, then headed to east coast, sentosa, followed by West coast for lunch. Next we reached NTU, then a goat farm, and back home. We cycled a total of 135km. Fun thing!!

Standard Chartered Marathon

I woke up at 1am on the 5th Dec, met up with Dennis at 2.45am and took the bus to Standard Chartered Marathon (42km). It started at 5am sharp, with 20,000 people runnin' 42km, another 20,000 runnin' 21km, and 20,000 on the 10km.

The weather was pretty gd, n i was perfectly ok for the 1st 30km, then started to have cramps here and there. Anyway I completed the 42.125km run in 4hr38mins. Several friends took part in the event too, e.g. Chongyan, Joel, Ade, Dennis, Zhangyu, etc. However it was too crowded, i cldn't really bump into most of them. Dennis completed in 4hr53mins, Chongyan 7hr+, Ade (10km) 1hr20mins+, and so on. I guess we all enjoyed the run. =)

Achin' everywhere there after......

Sentosa on 4th Dec

On 4th Dec, a day before Standard Chartered Marathon, I had a big feast with David at Hard Rock Sentosa Resort World.

曖昧

曖昧讓人受盡委屈
找不到相愛的證據
何時該前進　何時該放棄
連擁抱都沒有勇氣

只能陪你到這裡
畢竟有些事不可以
超過了友情　還不到愛情
遠方就要下雨的風景

到底該不該哭泣
想太多是我還是你
我很不服氣　也開始懷疑
眼前的人　是不是同一個真實的你

曖昧讓人受盡委屈
找不到相愛的證據
何時該前進　何時該放棄
連擁抱都沒有勇氣

曖昧讓人變得貪心
直到等待失去意義
無奈我和你　寫不出結局
放遺憾的美麗　停在這裡

YOG party at Universal Studio

Dahon vector X10

I've been waitin' for this new Dahon 2011 product line (vector x10) for long. Its not officially out in the market yet, and will probably be arrivin' in Singapore early next year. It features a patented hydroformed frame which is extremely strong and stylish, weighing only abt 9kg, one of Dahon's lightest bikes ever. I'm expectin' it to cost about S$3000.

Few days ago it has won a prestigious Eurobike Award at the 2010 Eurobike bicycle trade show held in Friedrichshafen, Germany.

YOG week

Ok gotta turn in soon, a very quick update on last week. Last week i was busy at YOG, helpin' here and there... doin' simply anythin'. Fun but tirin'. Ok lets look at some pics instead. =)

A pic stolen fr a colleague's facebook. =P Yeah these are some of my colleagues... didn't have time to steal more pics, pardon me for the time being.

My birthday gift from YOG. I wanna thank Dickson and Hanafia for this.

Ok this is my team leader, Juli.

Ok time to zzz... gdnite!

Changi beach

East Coast

Cycling trip

Went cycling from my place to East coast last weekend with Leong and Dennis. Was pretty far abt 20km to reach there in an hour+. I wasn't too used to long distance cycling so i felt so exhausted when i reached. We had supper and headed back home. My bicycle wasn't gd enough for long distance and Dennis, an experienced cyclist, suggested me to get a better one. I tried the one which Dennis was ridin' tat day and i pretty like it, a foldable and incredibly fast one.

Ok my to-buy list is this Dahon Mu P8, about S$1300+. Its cool, isn't it?
