One more week

12.12am, Monday, 18/05/09, Raining
It's another raining day.
It seems that whenever I wanna go for swim or doing my self-study @ SIM or Ngee Ann, it will be raining cats and dogs, and while I am back @ work, it will be a hot and sunny day.

I am someone who loves sunny day. Maybe because of the fact that gloomy and rainy day creates a disappointing atmosphere so I began to 'dislike' such weather.
This year, seems to be having lots of changes happening, a mix of emotions, things to celebrate about and things to be troubled...
Used to be troubling about, unable to perform up to my own expectation and somehow, I am on-leave for my exam, thus I will definitely be worried if I can pick myself and the pact of the work.

@ SIM Uni. (2.22pm - 18/05/09)
I just arrived at school, Ngee Ann Poly, the usual study area was packed with people. I walked all the way to SIM, hoping to find a place, a quiet place to study.

A hungry man is a angry man...
It is true, after lunch, feeling refresh yet hopefully, this is the effect towards 11pm...
Cos it will be another late night at school...

My Poly mates and Friends and their loved ones...
Sherline and another whom dislike to be mention, I shall name her Ms L met up one week later after Sister marriage. She looked fresh and had been resting well for the entire week.

Our lunch @ Sakae Sushi was like a gossip and update session with the two ladies. Yet, this year, both my "sis" are married..For me, still single, but it is a privilege.

Wish them a happy marriage...
My best "Sister"

Desmond and Winnie
The met up @ Jurong point New York New York was planned quite some time ago, I was shocked to see Des appeared online but instead, it was Winnie who was chatting with me. Winnie and I were coordinating our efforts to celebrate for Da Xiong 's birthday.

The model husband and wife in the group, always have their ways to make each other happy, I guess, because both are willing to accept and compromise differences in life which make them such a happily, married couple.


The Birthday "boy"..."Man"..."Uncle"..."old man"?

The single and handsome Jeff...haha!

Jun Yuan and Kah Leng

The couple who always have their way to spice up their life with ...

Their relationship...hmm..Unknown!

Are they "gay"? gay =means happy!

Are they happy! Yes definitely!

My order, the best meal for the week!

The half BBQ chicken served with wedges.

Everyone ordered, Root Beer with Ice cream.

Music Review
Ru Xue Rui (kai Bu Kai Ai Wo)
可不可以爱我 (卢学睿)

One of my favourite, new song sang by Xin Guang (1) Ru Xue Rui. He was from the same competition with Yoga Lin, Aska Yang coming in 4th in the competition, however, he was the first to release his first album yet he is the most popular in terms of album sales and promoting him.

This song truly describe the kind of emotional instability of someone who unable to be loved by someone they like and still have to congratulate their loved one with someone else...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aL9xNocoes&feature=related

Xie An Qi, Kay Tse ( sound like Cathay...Oops!)

Huan Song hui (欢送会 - 谢安琪)

This is a canto hit which received the Best 2008 hit of the year in many Hongkong music awards. Xi te jie is the canto title.

When I first hear this song, around me, 2 colleagues are leaving, thus it does describe the kind of saying goodbye to friends whom you might miss or people that you have to depart from your circle of friends.

Just like the kind of departure from the place, the person you loved when he or she got to leave you, though the person might not be around, you have your blessing and love shared within your heart for the person.

Yet, the smile, happiness, joy and memories are the best kept memories that will stay in both...

Exams ahead

5.22pm, Tuesday, 12/05/2009, Windy
It was raining heavily while making my way to school. Today is the start of my first paper, feeling sort of relax yet tense, as this is my first paper. Thus more or less, I will be more focus to do well. However, the other 3 papers are more worried, especially Business, government, and society and Management as this are two modules, which are very difficult concepts which I feel, lots of time had to be placed in self-study.

For Management, either I did not place in lots of efforts or the tutor 's problem of not able to grab my focus and interest, while if this course is taught by Dr Kanjula, things will be different.

Though, it was declared as the exam week, and I was pleased that my company was able to allow me to take unpaid leave for my exams. And I guess, the best way to reward myself and make sure, such leaves are not wasted, is by doing well for the next 3 papers and all the papers.

On Saturday(12/05/09)

I attended one of my best poly friends wedding dinner on Saturday.

Sherline and Dennis wedding day, an important day that marks the change of status and the day they officially declared husband and wife.

Though knowing that they are getting married, I was delighted for them within me. Yet, I feel that since Sis had found the right person, as his best friend and "sister" or "brother", I should be there for the wedding, though there are other reason not to attend apart from exam and busy schedule, however, I make the move and green light to attend this reunion dinner more than a wedding to me.

Though there are many doubts of sister choice of marriage, yet as her best friend, the one and only thing is to give her my blessing and wish her a happy and smooth journey ahead.


This are the two photos that we took on Saturday. 2 classmates whom I had not met for years had appeared in sis 's wedding.

Meimei and De hua was there.

Despite, there are some stuff that occurred during the wedding, delays, some comments etc.

Yet at the end of the day, we can pleased no one, so whether or not, you enjoy the day, it is up to individual and to the couples whom might hear some stuff that day, I feel that such comments should just be comments who people make to create curiosity.

I feel pretty impressive and delighted for the couple especially, Dennis used music to warm the Sis's heart whom she might be tired after a long day




Music Review

Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) from Twins had recently released a canto album.

There is this song in chinese version which I feel, it does describe the kind of loneliness whereby you temporary lose a close friend around you, those both of you are close, yet there are distance between the both of you.






http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8okqImP6Png




Another song which had been one of my favourite songs is by Raymond Lam from TVB and Vincy Yung .

The title of the song is After Tomorrow.

This song is about a friend, who likes each other, but did not express their love. And in the end, they are just friends, in this song, Raymond Lam giving his best friend, his best wishes as the girl choose another guy.

Though in life, you may like the person, yet, not having to be together might be even the best choice for both, as seeing someone is able to receive love and concern from the other party is better than seeing both remaining single as she is under the care and love of someone else who can promise a future for your friend or the person you used to love.

Find a reason to smile :D

2.08am, Tuesday, 05/05/2009, Windy

Recently the amount of sleep I had lessened as I am now preparing for my exam while in the day, I got to work thus I got to spread my 100% strength and energy on both areas which is a mental and physical challenge for me.

I can't believe that even in my dream, I was thinking how to type out the emails @ work, when sharing with one of my colleague, G, he was laughing all the way till the bus reached Jurong Point.

24 th May is my last day for exam, hope it will come quickly.
The road of freedom~

Hope I can do well for my exam...

Well, this year seems to be a year of changes, with friends, getting married in 2009 concluding their BGR relationship to a new leap which shocks me...but I will not do SUCH moves especially when a bright future is awaiting in 2 to 3 years time..

Two of my friends, S and L are getting married, however, I gained two new friends @ work, J and S as well as other colin's friends who might seen different yet there are nice people after all.

Well, for friends whom had made decision to get married, congrats.

The road to freedom is in my hands so I will not let anyone to grab them unless I found the right person.

Staying at home
Surfing the net and sleeping are the main activities @ home. Recently, to keep myself smiling, I had been listening and youtube-ing on MVs and some comedy videos.

The below youtube picture is an indian lady who sang twinkle twinkle little star in different versions.

If you find hard to smile, or no reason to smile due to stress, hope this link do help you to smile for a while...

Day
This week is a long weekend though I got to work on saturday but I guess, the thursday and friday did replenish the amount of rest I needed.

This is one of the picture I took while leaving my home to buy dinner. Real amazed that such beautiful sunset can be seen.




Nite
Marina is one of the place I really like. The singapore flyer is always the best view seen with ECP and the CBD area which I just to work...or everyone rush to work, at nite, it can be a place with silent and calmness.




Dinner @ Jack Place

I can't remember when was the last time I visited Jack place for dinner, maybe N years ago, keong and his galfren, desmond, yuan, kah leng, colin and I were having dinner @ Jack place, Heeren.

Dinner is simply delicious yet it makes the journey to lose weight after meal more difficult.




Mushroom soup, the starter and my favourite!




Brownie and strawberry ice cream for desseerts...


I deserve a good treat!

The power of Love or Love is blind?

9.33pm, Monday, 27/04/09, Windy

The title I placed is related to the recent wedding I had attended over the weekend @ Malaysia. One of my distant cousin got married with a Malay lady on Saturday, My family and I went to Malaysia to attend the grand wedding @ KL.

It had been quite some time that I had not stepped into Malaysia for visiting and shopping. I really miss the place. Maybe because there was a period of time when I was young, I used to stay @ Malaysia thus going back KL is enjoyable and fun thing for me.

Traveling on the bus

Seriously, I haven't been sleeping very well, ever since work has started thus choosing coach to air, taking a coach down is the best choice as I will be able to sleep after the checkppoint @ Tuas Second Link to KL.

It was a 4 and a half hours journey without stopping @ Yong Peng thus travel time was reduced to the usual 5 hoours plus. There is packed lunch box served to all passengers on board and drink to choose from...

It's quite worth after all.

@ The Corus Hotel

A 3 days stay @ KL Corus Hotel. A 4 star hotel that my aunt had reserved for my family. It is cosy, comfortable and great experience staying there for the past 3 days, as I managed to use the swimming pool, gym, and steamroom.




For dinner on Friday

Dinner @ Manhanttan Fish Market restaurant. It was my first time eating Manhanttan Fish Market, I ordered the fish and chips set. I was a treat from my aunt and cousin...

Hmm...Hungry right..!


Putra (MRT card)

This is the Putra MRT card that is a single ticket which brings me lots of convenience, as before the dinner on Saturday nite, I managed to grab some time out for shopping on my own to Petailing Jaya and some other shopping Malls like Lot 10, Sungei Wang etc for a shirt and a good back massage...

On Saturday

Before heading down to Petailing Jaya, I managed to have something which is my all time favourite food, A & W meal, I missed the curly fries, coney dog and root beer.





Wedding Dinner On Saturday

The grand wedding and the main purpose of the trip is the wedding dinner. Lots of VIPs and invited guests.

Hmm...this is the second wedding that I had attended in 2009. I believe there is one more soon to come...

The blessings that the couple received from the parents, relatives and invited guests. It is different from the usual chinese wedding I had attended so far...

I managed to have a great chat and exchange msn and email with my cousins whom I seldom see them nowadays.

On Sunday Morning

The Grandpa Ba Gu tae is one of KL famous cuisine. My uncle and Aunt drove us to this coffee house which serves the best food for breakfast.

Seriously, the herbal and strong aroma enhanced the taste of the Ba Gu Tae...

It is total different from Singapore as local ones are strong in strong base without much pepper...

Well, some prefer the old taste which I will do compared to those in Singapore...

If I have more time...

12.49am, Tuesday, 21/04/09, Hot

Sometimes in life, some things are very diffcult to explain, yet times when opportunity comes, we will feel that some miracles happened either not at the right timing...

Recently, I had been learning and trying to pick up new knowledge from work and at the same, on every tuesday and thursday, I will tried to make myself refresh and mind freshly minted with the heart to learn new stuff @ school.

It had been exhausted week. 2 of my seniors@ work had left, thus the new team of 3 of us, had been trying to learn as fast as possible for new stuff as much as possible...

Yet times, in life as we grew older, we had to give up some stuff to replace for some stuff in life that we might not want. E.g. I used to go swimming or sun-tanning...once a week now... hmm~~

This week on Saturday

It was a re-treat for me, I invited Colin to go for Joey Yung concert @ Max Pavillion, Saturday, 18/04/09. I used to like canto-pop thus, that is the reason why I choose this concert to Lee Brothers concert, and another reason being, this is Joey Yung first concert @ Singapore, thus she is worth the time she spent on saturday to watch her live.

It was packed with many fans, the concert tickets were more than 90% sold.

The best part of the concert was there were many surprises, though Joey 's mandarin is not her best language, yet she tried her best to translate her words to both canto and mandarin for Singapore fans...

The best part of the concert are the classic medley and remix medly

The best classic medley of Joey's canto songs are 再见我的初恋/痛爱/逃避你/谁来爱我/损友/抱抱/想得太远/习惯失恋/一拍两散/心淡

The best remix medley of Joey songs are 未知/不容错失/喜喜/神魂颠倒/相当刺激/隆重登场/越唱越强

Other songs include 我的骄傲, 痛爱,华丽邂逅, 这分钟更爱你 etc are really classic..

Chinese songs like 小小, 弃权, 独照, 习惯你

I guess the part which show Joey is really putting effort is the 2 songs that she sang, songs by Yanzi and Tanya Chua ( Beautiful love)

Sunday...

The start of the week, which I feel sian... cos Monday is the day after that...

Every week, I tried to hit the gym with Colin to exercise and re-treat to keep myself as fit as possible. Maybe of the chemical effect, thus I feel refresh after exercise. Well, sometimes after gym, I will have dinner with Colin or go bach home to take away dinner for the family.

Music Review

The first CD that I had brought this year is Joey Yung starlight Hongkong Live. It is the best compilation of Joey 's concert starlight live @ Hongkong...

It is really worth the price...as it has 3 cd of the songs sang by Joey in her concert...

Rating

4 out of 5 for the album

Time

1.14am, Tuesday, 150409, Hot

Just as half of Singapore population are slept and be ready for school and work. I am typing out my assignment and trying ways and means to ensure that this TMA will be alright before submission.

This is the only TMA assignment I am left with...hopefully, I can conclude it tomorrow.

If only, I have more time...

More time to sleep, more time to study and more time for outdoor activities and other stuff...

@ Last friday (170409)
It was a long weekend for most of us, I was really spending the morning and noon to follow up on my 3 assignments and thankfully, I was left with only 1 to submission which the deadline is on this coming Friday.

It was a re-treat with my friends, Patrick, Adelene, Selene and with Adelene's brother, Anderson. We meet up for dinner @ Vivo City and after dinner, we sat down to chat about about year end plans which I was really looking forward too....

Sun-tan, Massage, spa etc.....

Sometimes, I do hope, life will always be great times and smiles from people around u. I does not say, people are not smiling, but definitely, laughing is lesser as everyone is stressed with work and my other commitments which we stopped and limit us to smiles, unless we are out of the situation....

Hope life will be better though I feel that there are many things for me to learn, and I hope with the level of trust and friends around me and their guidance will lead me on...further and smooth to the road of success....:D

On Saturday

KTV session with Jun yuan, Kah Leng, wei keong and Colin and makan session @ Chinatown area with this group of friends, it was an enjoyable day...Lots of laughter and updates from each other...

We had not been singing for long time.

I guess, Yoga song is definitely one of my top 1 list songs selecton list and I did tried songs by Su Yong Kang, Elva, Jolin songs eventually to heat up the spirits of the KTV room and songs by other artistes.

On Sunday

As usual, a gym day for me with my gym mate, Colin and his friend....

Music review

Recently, Liang Wen Ying song has warmed my heart especially her voice. For this week, I would to recommend her album and her song. A bit of introduction about Liang Wen Ying, she is from the popular star search singing competition 超级星光大道 2. She came in 2nd and was given a contract to begin her singing career....

She has the talent and I believe with the right advertising promotion, she will be the next big star in town...

Overall, this album was able to show fans Liang Wen Ying abilities in her singing and ways of presentation did warm my hearts to hear her albums, even on radio stations.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

One of the songs that I really like

歌曲名称: 可以不爱了
歌手姓名: 梁文音
专辑名称: 爱的诗篇

梁文音 - 可以不爱了

让窗户通通都打开

让阳光通通都照进来

让风放肆的吹伞我身上的尘埃

把你的过去变腐坏

把你的溺爱藏起来

把你的所有都搬到我房间以外

现在是三点钟

你应该还没醒呢

这有点刺眼的光线

会不会打扰你呢

梦不会实现了

我应该要醒了

我不该只懂得配合

你习惯短暂的温热

我努力要自己避开

和你曾走过的地带

但是又和不舍拉扯

处在我快乐的界外

我何尝不是一个人

来决定爱的延长赛

奈何总是勉强对自己

有一个善良的交代

我努力要自己躲开

你给我的伤心地带

但是又和失去拉扯

得到的全都是意外

到现在还是一个人

吞噬着自己的能耐

到最後我可以不爱了

你却说舍不得

现在是三点钟

你应该还没醒呢

这有点刺眼的光线

会不会打扰你呢

梦不会实现了

我应该要醒了

我不该只懂得配合

你习惯短暂的温热

我努力要自己避开

和你曾走过的地带

但是又和不舍拉扯

处在我快乐的界外

我何尝不是一个人

来决定爱的延长赛

奈何总是勉强对自己

有一个善良的交代

我努力要自己躲开

你给我的伤心地带

但是又和失去拉扯

得到的全都是意外

到现在还是一个人

吞噬着自己的能耐

到最後我可以不爱了

你却说舍不得

离开你欲走还留的眼睛

我要我忍住在一次抱你

躲开你转身以後的消息

这一次我可以 我努力要自己避开

和你曾走过的地带

但是又和不舍拉扯

处在我快乐的界外

我努力要自己躲开

你给我的伤心地带

但是又和失去拉扯

得到的全都是意外

到现在还是一个人

吞噬着自己的能耐

到最後我可以不爱了

你却说舍不得

你可以不爱了 别说舍不得

Finally

12.10am, Monday, 070409, Windy

The things in life that motivate me to work harder or strive for the best...

Recognition? Monetary award?

For myself, I am someone who basically find chance if possible to exercise during the weekend. For some of my friends @ SIM and even some close friends, I had been feeling exhausted and frustrated with my management assignment.

How I hope my tutor for management is the similar to organisational behaviour...I miss her and her class, Dr Kajula! U rocks!~

Well, for the upcoming days, I shall be busy with some stuff which I feel worth my time and effort learning and as mentor are willing to teach me, and the environment I was at, is really worth doing so!

I will prove myself, as I was given the chance and now, it is time to perform my best as I had been resting really long...

And not to let anyone down... even though the journey I am uncertain how long I will take or stay, yet as I was not alone, thus me and the other new friend shall move forward together to learn and pick up new stuff as we go along....

During weekend
Gary is back in Singapore. Xiuling, kai boon and I arranged to meet up in a rush, thus we simply have dinner @ East Coast. I guess, the pictures speaks louder than words.

My favourite chicken wings and samba fish...

No prawns as we know now tiger prawns are very expensive and very sensitive issue few weeks ago. I guess, doing some homework of knowing the current quote price before we act, in order not to be disappointed...

Haha~:D





@ Fabulous Pub
I believe this place will be another hang out place for me and some close friends of mine. I feel that the place is comfortable as it is a open-ktv concept, whereby you selected the song/s to sing and wait for your opportunity...

This is the second time of the month, I had gone down to chill with my friends and have fun together....

The shirt I am wearing- I gots to drink!~ *3

Cheers,
Everyone!




Music Review




The chinese music had been overwhelmed with Queen diva, Jolin Tsai new album, Butterfly.

Personally, as a Jolin supporter, it is not the best album that Jolin has proved herself. Maybe of marketing, or her Warnermusic are still finding her new direction, it seems Warner music does not know the direction that Jolin career is heading towards.


I miss her past albums

Kian Wo 72 bian album(2003)- Sony Music
Palace album- Sony Music
J-Game album- Sony Music

Dancing Diva(2006)-EMI
Dancing Forever(2006) -EMI
Agent J album(2007)- EMI

She had truly prove herself as Asian best female singer especially during her years, between 2006-2009, she was awarded MTV best female vocal because of her Dancing Diva album...

I hope her new record company, Warner music will not destroy Jolin Tsai reputation and her singing career, especially in her album selections of songs, it was a disappointment that there are 4 hits from butterfly album are from originally english hits...

That is indeed to many...

Elva Hsiao singing career was almost destroy during her years in Warner music with a 3 years wait, 1087 album, yet the response...hmm...

I hope her record company can benchmark their best marketing tactics and the years of carving Sammi Singing career in Warner music early days, I was really successful...

Overall rating
2.5/5
