Old Memories, Redefined

1.31pm, Saturday, 2oth March 2010, Raining

Raining day can bring mixed emotions to people, if after two weeks without rain but just sunny, hot day, I guess, the rain will just come at the right time.


However, if it is a Saturday, and you just woke up and getting ready for your Saturday outing and activities, I guess, the rain is a hazard as you probably have to bring a umbrella (which I try not to) or a jacket, or even raincoat which I guess, people seldom wear it nowadays.


Some Picture & Activities done over the last weekend:

Place: Suntec City - Just Noodle
People Involved: Melody, Eugene, Delon, ZhiQin, Wei Lun, BJ and Me (Jeff)

Date: 17 March 2010 ( Wednesday)
Time: 7.30 pm - 10plus
Place: Jurong Point @ Fig & Olive Restaurant
People Involved: Connie, Kelly, David and Me (Jeff)


After a year, Kelly, David and I arranged to meet Connie on last Wednesday for a meal. It was supposed to be on a New Year gathering but due to our busy schedule thus we decided to arrange it at a later date.


Well for the three of us, we will address Connie as "Auntie Connie" as she is our senior and my first employer whom I had worked with during my secondary school days. Even after we had graduated from GMSS(Ghim Moh Secondary), we still keep in contact with her.


During my school days, if not because of her encouragement and the things she thought me @ work, I will not have achieve so far till now even till this point in life I am doing my part time studies in SIM and working at the same time. I remembered during recess period, I will look for her at the school book store and we will chat about our experiences and happening in class.


Though GMSS had merged with Jin Tai Secondary, and eventually renamed as Clementi Woods. But I guess, what holds great friendship is the trust and bond for the past 10 years.

Definitely, she is a living example, a great role model to me with respect.

Simple or Not That Simple

4.51pm, Saturday, 13/03/2010, Raining

Whenever I see aeroplane that flew over the horizon, I do hope, I will be on the plane traveling to overseas, setting aside Singapore to a place where nobody will find me. Or a place where you know nobody and you are there on your own, not even with your cellphones.

Well, life now is pretty stressful especially when during assignment weeks. But that did not give me a reason to be lazy or lay-back.

To me, the desire to prove to others always come across my mind as I just desire a better lifestyle in the future to come and achieving a quality life.

Over the last weekend, I had spent some quality time with my friends, but equal time for my own, to reflect on areas to improve myself, things I had yet to do, and some quiet time...

I was @ East Coast Park cycling, from East Coast Mc Donald's to Changi Coast after Changi Airport.

It was part of my own quiet time & to exercise at the same time.

11 March 2010 @ Liyi Fans Gathering


Location: Cineleisure Orchard
Time: 7pm to 10plus
People Involved: Liyi's Fans


It was a gathering organised by Evonne, one of Liyi's fans to gather everyone at KBOX @ Cineleisure Orchard. It was second time meeting Evonne and some of the members as some of them are fans of DJ Mary from Yes 933. Thus, it was overall, an enjoyable event for the day.

I was delighted to see people who share the same interest (singing KTV) even though we are not professional singers, but who cares?


But truly, Liyi, you can really sing!


I was named one of the TOP 5 title for "Can sing" fans in the gathering which I was pretty surprised that my voices does impress the fans present @ the event.













Our Group Picture


Liyi is one of DJs and friend of mine, who had been encourage each and everyone of us on radio @ her program with positive words. Though she is not on radio for some weeks, but, I seriously miss her program especially K Pop on Sunday @ 10pm.

Thanks for your comments when I send my demo cd to be a radio DJ years ago, really appreciate your help.

Music I'm currently Listening




















Artiste: Tiger Huang Hsiao Hu
Album Title: Simple/ Not Simple
Music Publisher: Warner Music Taiwan










Veteran Pub Singer, Tiger Huang has released her brand new album, Simple/Not Simple after becoming popular as a judge in Taiwan Singing competition, "One Million Star". In contrast to her image as a direct,outspoken judge in the variety show, she soften her image with a new wig and demonstrates her powerful vocals in her soothing new ballad "Not that Simple." This single had top last week Yes 933 Pop Chart.
I guess, this is one of the songs that best describe recent Jack Neo and Tiger Wood's sex scandal flashing on the different media platform as it has weaken singles' perception seeing marriage life as a path to choose and second, do people still have mutual trust after marriage, if yes, how long?
Songs Recommended:
Ban (Partner)
Wu Dian (Delay)
Zui Ai De Ren (The Person I love)
Overall Rating of the album:
3.9 out of 5.

New Friends VS "OlD" Friends

5.14pm, Saturday, 06/02/2010, Hot

To me, I may be a direct person, yet I do understand myself having a certain level of EQ that I should portray the right kind of feelings for some problems and people whether @ work or social context. Well, even though I may be alright with some light issues, but certain I feel that in 2 days, yesterday and today, I totally experience what is like to "Though you may be friends for years or so called "Best Friends" but it seems that as years accumulated, we are just like strangers on the road who look familiar but lack understanding."
But to me, certain memories are worth keeping, I will keep in mind. Yet certain memories whereby people or so-called friends have schema ( mental shortcut ) of what happening in the past, yet I just feel that what is past is already "Gone in the wind."
But the most scary part is that your " so called " friends do refresh your memory with what happen in the past and sharing it with others though I was meant to be a secret for both, between u and her or him!
Well, that 's why, one of my colleagues told me in the past " There isn't any so called forever friends, as people changes!" But one thing that we can't change is we can have time to create new things happen or money to make things happen!!

New Friends @ School
To some friends, they feel that I am sincere and very out-spoken but I don't think so. But well, it is what people perceive me in their mind. I was thankfully, after 6 weeks, I had knew a new friend in School as known below.
A out-spoken person in what he feels worth debating for!
A character that shine in school, hope u excel in your studies in SIM and we shall meet again in other modules and not be a 6 weeks friend.

Da Mouth - Wan Tu 3 (1, 2, 3) Album

Pop Group: Da Mouth

Music Publisher: Univeral Music Taiwan















Taiwan 's popular hip-hop group Da Mouth including Aisa, Harry, MC 40, and DJ Chung Hua are unleashing their 3rd album One, Two, Three on 23 Jan 2010. The theme is "the future", and the new album is packed with electronic pop dance numbers that are said to be much ahead of the current music trend. Among the 12 tracks (two of which are instrumental), the first plug to come off the album is ROCK IT, a disco/ house anthem allegedly representing what the young generation is thinking.
