:: caffeinated ::

I know tis picture doesn't say much, at most, its a bad picture. The focal point i want to bring across is that, look, this is Tanglin Mall. And at the centre was what used to be mcdonald's. Guess what. Its been taken over by (yet another) starbucks. Is singapore really getting over caffeinated? Which shopping mall in orchard area does not have a coffee joint? Starbucks, coffeebean, pacific coffee, spinelli, gloria jeans, coffee club... Vivo city and its vicinity has almost everyone of the above. Suntec city worst, 5 starbucks in one big mall. Oh my god. Even Raffles city has 2 star bucks, not to mention spinelli. Gloria jeans. Pacific.. Wow. Did you know, singapore has the most starbucks in SEA? Out of 84 outlets, 67 are in singapore. And with the recent debacle with the water pit well issue.. Hmm.. Singapore needs environment saving efforts.. Save environment and waste precious water? Hmm... Anyway, back to the coffee issue. Do we really need so many coffee places? To sit and rest or get caffeinated? On a side note, tea is much healthier. Really. It contains less calories (even compared to black unsweetened coffee), High in antioxident, and definitely a healthy and budget drink for anytime. And come on, tink of this, how often do u drink coffee at the joints? Most go for frappe or ice blended right? Think twice before u enter a coffee joint the next time for a coffee. Yes. It might be sinful..

:: atas facelift ::

Seriously
Paragon is a real atas place
looks at the shops
and count the number u have stepped into
are keen to step into
and will never step into..
haha..

because i gym at fitness first quite regularly
(and its my favourite since there's so many cute guys gymming there
and it being a centralised locale..)
i go paragon regularly..
(like duh..)

lets see..
project shop
ralph lauren
emernegildo zegna
dunhill
Armani Exchange
the high end fashion list goes on and on and on..

look at the supermarket
although they sell everything (also) available to Cold Storage at ngee ann city opposite
but its called Marketplace.. (yeah, i know there's a change in ownership thus the name.., but..)

the food.. oh my god..
its heaven!
the first din tai feng was there (before opening at more "down to earth" places)
spagheddies
canale pattiserie
project shop cafe
bazerkin
Lawry's
tsk tsk tsk..
all so atas lo..

and i bet because tt place is making so much money
they are going throuh yet another facelift
yup..
they are doing retrofitting to that damn classy building yet again
its been less than 5 years since they last did lo
(after buying over the Promenade.. thus expanding)
and now,
although its already so clean, prim and high class looking
they are going to do a major renovation to make it even more atas..

well well

so fitness first will move to a bigger outlet on the upper levels..

anyway.. on another note
i realise i made the right choice to follow dearie to join fitness first..
its so atas lo
its every locale is also very atas..
onli premium brands in the shopping mall then can open.. haha
think The Cathay (atas right..)
Paragon (like I said, atas lo)
Millenia Walk (when was the last time u went there? never go right, coz its too atas)
Fusionopolos (this business place, u mite not even hear of it before.. how to pronounce huh)
One George Street
One Raffles Quay (in singapore, got one in front means atas lo, think one newton, one fullerton..)
OUB centre.. (bank building, definitely atas.)
except AMK hub.. sounds atas, but very unatas..

wat's so atas about fitness first?
their membership consultant wears coat one leh
the member's rest area serve coffee, tea, green tea, and coke machine which specifies the calories per 100ml.. unlike other fitness clubs which onli has water cooler
amongst many other things la.. haha..

well well..

so here i am, these days
enjoying my "atas" lifestyle because of a certain somebody
my Bakerzin cakes
healthy salad and meat from Marketplace
deserts from canale
tea from Project shop
weekend brunch at PS cafe at Dempsey hill

and bath products from L'occitane
face wash from Kiehl's
and soap from.......

..... atas right?

:: stuck in lift ::

Yeah.. I'm stuck in the lift. NOW! on a bright and sunny wednesday morning. I entered the lift, pressed level one, the lift door closed, it moved an inch. Then it stopped. Luckily there's still air ventilation and lights. I called the Damn hotline.. And waited for half an hour..people walking outside saw me in the lift. But all bo chap! Hmpf.. My neighbours.. Bleah! I called again. They say despatched the rescue team le. Ok.. Wait.. The uncle is here. He opened the door. Ending my moments of fright and terror. Now what? No apologies or anything? Hmpf! So i shall bring my traumatised self to the other lift and go down? Wow. I am soooo impressed! Bleah! Fuck the Damn hdb team for their inefficiency and system. I'll definitely consider writing a damage claim against them..

Just for the visuals..


This was A*Mei Star Tour Singapore Concert (Reprise)


4th October 2008 . 8pm . Singapore Indoor Stadium

:: Call her the Queen! ::

A*Mei Star Tour 2008
rocks the house
ENTIRELY!!

Was at Singapore Indoor Stadium last saturday night
with W and crew
before tt we were at kallang entertainment complex
and we saw a whole LOAD of ajs there as well, presumably waiting to watch
A*mei's concert..

well
she is the mandarin pop's version of madonna/kylie minogue (aka gay icon)
so its not exactly surprising to see ao many PLUs eager to enjoy the night
singing to her many hits
and gyrating to her every beat..

the concert was superb
was a little disappointed to have missed her Star concert last year when it was first in town
so given the opportunity that it has returned for a second time
I was quick to bark at my friends asking for company to the party!

and what a party it was!!

it was an instant discoteque right from the very first song
and along the way, the 3+ hour concert was packed with
hits after hits
even the more "leng men" songs W was also able to sing
like "bie zai shang kou shang sa yan", "wo wu suo wei"

the hits were like super k party
the 10000 strong crowd singing together in unison
the lyrics on the screen was so unnecessary
as fans would all have memorised them by heart
like "ting hai", "ren zhi", "wo ke yi bao ni ma"

fast tracks making its mark included
"yes or no", "A ji yu le"
and sensual dance songs like "wei duo li ya de mi mi"
saw A*mei singing with 4 sexy male dancers stripped to sexy white shorts..
HOT!!!!

the party went on with hits after hits
ending on a high note with songs like "Bad boy", "High high high",
"gei wo gan jue" and "jie mei"

it was definitely a party worth returning to!!

suddenly mid-way through the concert,
i remembered tt
if i'm not wrong
the last concert of A*mei i went to was back in 1999
at "Mei Li 99" concert
was sitting way back
at National Stadium
(yeah, she could very well command a 55000 crowd lo!)

come'on
that's why we call her the Queen!

i'm definitely not going to miss her concert the next time!

now, awaiting for wang lee hom's concert..
(Lee guitars.. haven't bot tix yet.. well well.. $$$ problem leh..)

:: orchard ::

was in town earlier today, and i've come to realise somethings about me..

i like to look at people who dress up nicely
but i've decided i juz don't suit the looks which i like
there are clothes that are nice
but it just doesn't attract me to buy them
i want to follow a certain look tt's comehow in fashion (or so it seems)
but its either there's no such size for me, i can't seem to carry it off, or the item is too ex..
so i look for cheaper alternative..
maybe i shall be happy and keep being me
as long as i wear clothes which i'm comfortable with
i tink i will be confident and carry it the way i always do
and look good, importantly... hehe!

today orchard is SOOOOOOO crowded!
i hate it when its like tt
its hari raya puasa today
so the streets were mainly dominated by chinese
haha.. its juz someting i noted.. noting special actually

I hate kids who are LOUD!
and show off
who speaks loudly, acting like adults,
proudly and arrogantly
like they know the whole world
and the whole shop/shopping centre/bus knows them
and their parents actually continues letting them talk so inconsiderately
i almost wanted to ask this boy in the bus to shut up
if not because W held me back..
bleah!!!

I witness a small tiff between two guys and another girl
don't really know what happen
juz that they were pushing each other
couldn't hear the details for sure
but the people all around were staring and they were in the middle
then the crowd gathered
some aunties walking behind me were like: "eh, got film tv show ah?"
"no la, i think fight.."
"eh, wait and see leh.."
erm.. see wat? movie ah? dotz...
then the whole situation was so awkward.. evryone staring at them..
with the radius 10m around them empty..
no one dare to walk across.. so funny lo

also hor, please..
don't give funny looks when you here a guy calling another guy dear/darling/baby...
it irks me when people give us the stare..
come on.. be an open society..

on the side note, to avoid such instances
we were joking tt W should call me boy
and i call him daddy.. lol..
bet u r angry when u read tis.. daddy..

does anyone reading my blog yourself being a PT trainer or knows someone whos a PT trainer?
care o help me loose weight..
some people's plan has failed miserably
i need a proper person to help train me.. haha..

on another matter..
does anyone know wat's the use of the sauna and steam room?
when do you use it?
what purpose does it serve?
how to use it effectively?
how long to stay inside?
anything to note after using?
well well well...

:: reality check ::

part 1:

I am feeling quite bad, because I'm emotionally down the past week, I did not turn up for certain events that I promised to earlier. Sometimes, I feel that I should inform beforehand, but somehow or rather, I am the "running away" sort of person. The feeling of putting aeroplane is really nasty. I hate it, but am guilty of it.

From now, I promise to inform earlier if I am unable to make it. But for the time being, please "tahan" it.. coz i'm going through a rough patch..

(for your info, if i told you i'm sick, i'm really sick. becoz the weather has been temperamental, and I have been having migraines and colds on an irregular basis the past 2 weeks.. I may "pang seh" without a word, but I never bluff people!)

part 2:

Sometimes, I do not know how to face you. being a friend, its hard to tell you off. No matter how vocal I can be, but its hard to tell you directly if I am really not interested. not answering your calls and msn messages and emails are a way to tell you i'm off the line, and try not to continue "pestering" me with regards to the plan. Like i said, i never bluff people, what I may be interested at the start, I might be a little put off now, so.. get the hint, stop coming close off my back..

part 3:

dragon boating is my passion. I have always wanted to be a healthy boy. I want the tan and dark skin. and to match that, I want a toned body. I am far away from it. i am trying my best to slim down. if you do not have constructive comments to make, then keep it to yourself. don't spoil other's morale. I will do it to prove you you. i have the strong mettle to keep it going. and i will.

the target i set now, is for you to see me in a better shape, by this christmas.

part 4:

unfortunately, I am not catching up on my schoolwork. mental wise, I just do not have the interest. i really am tired. probably because what I am studying, i have completely no interest in it. it sucks, big time, really. i need to be motivated. and hopefully, i will wake up my idea and keep going.. there isn't much time left, so friends, encourage me. i need them, no matter how tough i may look. be the one to bother me and keep pushing me. i need to be kicked at my butt.

part 5:

i know I have gotten into too much activities. far too much. that I am unable to cope. i do not know where to start. i wonder if i'm fit for the tasks. they are piling up. its bad. really bad.. all my main coms and exco, why did i start them? what do i really want to achieve out of them? why can't I prioritise? shit!

part 6:

relationship wise, i hit a rock. he is good. i know. everyone knows. it seems like its going strong, but the undercurrents... the society is giving the pressure. i'm afraid I am too young and juvenile. i do not know how to make decisions yet. but now, at least I hope i've made the right one. a promise, it will last a lifetime..




*from now, everything and every decision i make, i will have to think twice. i need to push myself. i need to prioritise. i need to have a good grip of myself, my time, my money, my studies, my activities, my health. my life!*

:: i want a healthy tan and bod ::

I want a nicer, darker, more beautiful tan. And a better, fitter bod.. I need help on that.. Haha.

:: getting physical ::

i feel abit old. really. was at the gym today. and probably due to 2 consecutive days outside walking around, and quite some straineous activities, i feel worn out. I could not concentrate on the cardio workout, i stopped 1/4 through my exercise. I suddenly did not know what I was doing and what I wanted. I need a physical activities trainer. I need to know how to train properly to lose the fats. I really want to regain the days when i was in army (suddenly seems so long ago and far fetched..) I think i need to know how to train right to attain maximum!

during my laps in the pool, i got tired just after 12 laps.. that was really bad.. 600m onli and i was panting, and my muscles aching.. I don't know what i want and need and can, i guess..

anyone true fitness buff who knows and can assist me?

(six pecs? haha.. i'm dreaming.. a fitter bod will be good enough...)

:: r.e.c.e.s.s.week....?? ::

recess
a time to rest
to look back..

i'm tired
its monday
time flies
before i know it
the week will be gone

i'm guilty of some stuffs
what is it i want
i seem to not to know..

my ultimate aim?
hahahahahaha..
Isaac just lives and let live

hopefully he will be always to lucky!
to get away with things..

*sidetrack*
today was a Epiphany outing with seniors
things didn't really run too well
but we tried our best
to bond all together
and the small little party turned out fun
and everyone bonded!

tmr going to see biennale at city hall n south beach development
with weizhi, andy n ron
hope to enjoy myself!
wonder! its gonna b spectecular, i hope...

:: while the rest of the world... ::

... gets busy with political turmoil..

isaac plans to write a political play.. hahaha...
and tries to avoid politics..

... gets busy with financial crisis...

isaac is also setting himself into a personal financial crisis..
but i doubt anyone would use a bailout to save me..

... has presidents "quitting"

isaac is getting himself overly busy with a million and one things
even if somethings he can't explain..
doesn't know what to do..
feels dumb
gets bored
completely puzzled by plans and arrangement
doubts his own ability and capability
and feels like quitting on some matters..

... has terrorist attacks..

isaac doesn't understand whagt the heck are they thinking..

... financial markets and large company turns over

isaac seems ambivalent
isaac is also neutral to such
he is an idiot, really..

... when the local theatre scene is proceeding

isaac seems to be letting his creativity backflow
and starts to think of ways writing plays with same ideas..
he needs to wake up..

...is troubled over milk

he just wants to make some lame jokes out of the milk brand names..

...is moving on F1 success

he wants to avoid Marina area at all cost this week..

...everyone is enjoying their recess

Isaac is going to be so busy this week
or so he thinks..

...people want a healthier lifestyle

Isaac wants too, but
despite exercising a whole lot
but eats even more
especially at unearthly times
which makes him fat

Isaac wants too many things
but he can't be
and he needs someone to constantly alert him
that he is not superman

someone.. anyone..

:: life's little pleasure ::

A gym and swim session, tiring oneself out, working the muscles. Then sit by a simple coffeeplace. Enjoying a nice breakfast of coffee, eggs and kaya toast, before heading for school for a day of straineous brain workout. Hmm.... At least the front part sounds comforting.. Life's simple, unsung pleasures..

:: respect. and some dumb people.. ::

I'm not a blog hopper
only reading some blogs sometimes
i dun really like reading chinese blogs
maybe because its too taxing on me (tiring la..)

so..
it took me sometime to go read this blog on omy
after reading endless recommendations and critiques on this entry from
several local DJs, newswriters, musicians, and friends..

so i decided to read it
and it gave me quite an exciting insight..
if you haven't heard about the spat on the Singapore Blog Awards
organised by OMY
go read this blog and the comments
you will understand the whole issue..

its really worth reading
makes you think..
(great GP study article, in my viewpoint..)

most of the comments are constructive and haas much thought put into them..

my respects to Danny Yeo
i understand where you come from
and blogging is just an avenue to speak your mind
to the "student" well
you are entitled to your "viewpoints" as well
but.. be cautious..

*read the whole article, take your stand on whether Danny is right
then read comments #7, #16, #20 and #135...
amongst others..

:: think too much ::

i suddenly realise whenever i have
some pockets of free time
i would let my imagination run wild
and imagine a million things
take on many different personalities..

i like to think.. think.. of (rubbish)

Anyway, out of the blue,

I realised I have many lifestyle problems…

Then I started listing out…

• I’m very particular abt color combination
• I dun like pple to block my way when I’m walking
• I cannot sleep without my little pillow
• I dun like to sleep early
• I always imagine
• I always roll on my bed for at least 15 minutes,
• before deciding whether I shud wake up
• I am very mischievious
• I brush my teeth for very long
• I'm always quite horny
  
• No right or wrong, only should/should not
• No" need/no need", only "wan/dun wan"
• Happiness is everything
• BIG fan of Murphy, yeah. Ultimate victim of Murphy’s Law
• blah
• blah
• blah
• I
• am
• seeing
• the
• Z monster
• already

Sleepy already… Suddenly very sleepy… I’m going to shut down anytime…

:: moon . The night after ::

Alright. I guess this picture doesn't really do justice.. But the moon tonight is really so much rounder, brighter, yellower.. Very pretty.. But mid autumn festival, whereby the moon would be roundest and prettiest, was yesterday. How funny..

:: up on the hills of ADM ::

Yesterday night, after impresario meeting, which was like really late, we went up the hills of ADM to 提灯笼,　赏月,　游戏,　吃月饼. It was a nice night to interact with the other committee members, play together and know each other. Fun! Anyway, mid autumn festival is tis sunday.. Yay.. More moon cakes!

:: now till then ::

the silence fills up the room
as scholarly souls enter and go
he sits alone at a table
wondering of the things that happen.

years and months and weeks go by
in a blink of an eye
not knowing what happens next
working hard for something unknown.

endless possibilities await
the one who pursues it hard
but each has his own will
but road is not always equal.

he who dreams of one
might be working on yet another
the constant perseverence
does it quintessentially result in the best?

he knows that aspirations
are to be clean forgotten
for he is striving towards another goal
that of the society's.

May happiness be bestowed upon him
that can only be known
if he sees the end result
for he feels forgotten by the world

and because
he has forgotten himself already.

:: insecure ::

i feel so insecure
each time i wear a top
that is slightly not so loose
(u know what i mean)
yes
i'm fat..

i'm trying hard to loose weight..
its hard..
but i'm trying..



really..

:: Elections 2008 ::

Epiphany English and Drama Society
1st Annual General Meeting
was officially held today..

Isaac ran for Special Projects Officer 2 (Artistic Director)
against another candidate of Indian nationality.
and Isaac won!

he is now official the 2nd Artistic Director of
Epiphany Theatre...

to bring it to greater heights!~
Epiphany theatre will soar!
breakthrough!!!

:: i feel invisible ::

Despite my super bright, catchy tee shirt, i walked past people and called their names and they still dun seem to notice my existance. There include my project mate, jc mate, army mate, hall mate, sec sch mate and og mate. Well well. Do i look different today? Or am i invisible? Maybe simply they are blind..

:: its back! ::

Despite leading a healthier lifestyle, but maybe due to more regular consumption of good food.. Isaac's long lost double chin is coming back! Oh no! All my money spent on liposuction late last year is gone! Must Jiayou in jian fei-ing, and eat healthier le..

:: Piling . Troubles ::

i've got everything piling up the way it shouldn't be
and as i look back
I really haven't changed for the better
the way it ought to have gone..
oh no..

troubles are all piling up my way
5 weeks in school and entering the 6th
I am just afraid that I've taken on a little too much!
(once again..)

I've got educational trouble..
organisational trouble..
sports and physical trouble..
monetary trouble..
relationship trouble..

heres a summary..

education troubles:
-project piling up, especially for HW210.. its a sucky project, though it seems essential..
-tutorials.. they are secretly piling up, and I seemed to have missed a lesson or two sometimes..
-thus leading up to missed tutorials and lectures.. notice the s behind? oh no.. how? i need to seek the real importance and the meaning of studies in life for myself and prioritise. plan my life properly..
-and because i've missed the above, the tests coming up will be damn fierce. though it might juz be tests, but things add up, and i hope it will not be in a bad way. I'm going all out to mend these holes, i promise!
-I need to buck up of my school work, desperately..

organisational troubles..
-as u may know,
I have joined a few main committees this year after a bad year in onli sub-committees last year. and as they say, the job is fiercer. oh no.. so the work is really getting heavier and i need to "wake up" my idea and get things done so as to not fail or give up in any of the projects..
anyways, the election for Epiphany main com is tomorrow! yeah! fingers crossed!
(I've currently got CAC JDC and Impresario to take care of.. both PnP posts.. well well)

sports and physical trouble..

-I am fat
-I am unfit
-I've got IPPT coming
-I've not trained well enough..
-I can only run (long distance, not 2.4 n 4X10m..)
-I got tedious dragonboat training which i hope helps.
-i've regular runs thanks to a certain person..
-I am still fat despite trainings and my physiques in not building up.
-i hate that!

monetary troubles...
-really, officially, i am POOR.
-i'm near bankrupt.
-my 4 bank accounts are running on less than 2 or 3 figure sums.
-my three credit cards are running on debts.
-i'm afriad each time the statement comes each months.
-why does time past so fast?
-where am i going to get money to pay
-why am i still in the blur and keep spending endlessly without the constant effort to thrift and spend less despite knowing i HAVE to?
-i am officially a "ka-nu" slave to my cards

relationship troubles:
-for those who do not know
-i've got a 31 year old partner
-who is quite prominent in the circle due to some unspecified reason
-who is desperate to get into a stable "family environment"
-but travels around the world for holiday/work so so often
-and loves sports to much that pressurizes me..
-he is a freakin' 6-pac believer
-and a uber IT professional and closetted entrepreneur wanabe
-who happens to have a military background.
-and is a guy.
-the trouble?
-well..
it is about me acknowledging his existance to my friends
-who might be able to take it, or may be homophobics..
-another challenge:
-he takes care of me too well.

troubles...

:: stepping over the line ::

I am angry
I biah like siao
and in the end
my championchip did not receive a proper result
lodged a complaint against that to safra..
i'm pissed
really!

:: over ::

for some weird reason
I'm overspending
and tt is a real bad habit which I sincerely wish to inhibit!

I've been a great slave to my credit and debit cards
especially those tt i'm not exactly paying for myself
and the phone (mobile n data) accounts
they are secretly piling up and revealing their "true selves" once a month
and so very often during those few consecutive days
shit!

I am highly depressed
but i can't stop my own urge not to spend so much
(and frivously)
I want to be ahead in times
and i want to enjoy my life
so i keep buying weird things
in terms of computer n tech products
like my new lappie n iphones
which i dun know when can i clear such heavy debts
and then i lost my receipt so i can't claim my adobe photoshop disc
(fucking eightflags in NTU is fucking not negotiable
poor attitude
and no proper solution.. horribel experience!!!!! Fuck you Eightflags!)

and then i have the problem of liking to spend on food and weird entertainment
endless restaurant n cafe purchasers
clothes
CDs
boyzillians waxings and manicures
gym membership (which i hardly use)
and many other crazy things i use to pamper myself
without knowledge if i can really afford them or not

that sucks

anyone care to my financial assistant/advisor?

i must curb my overspending..
but maybe that is what comes with being a guy in modern day singapore.
in a cosmopolitan city
we always dun think so much

or maybe its the credit card phenomenon


anyway
its bad.. really bad..

:: I've got ::

Yup. I've got it. Do you? Muahahaha.. Another contract with Dearie.. Hmm..

:: when was the last time.. ::

was out with anderson n weizhi juz now
went to comex show at suntec..
was juz walking ard.. din have something in mind actually...
juz look look see see..
so in d end oso nv buy anyting..

anyway..
the idea was tt..
i had a good nice chat with them
feeling good about having friends around..
the warmth..

because since school started a month ago
i've been pretty much alone
attending lectures and going home alone
lunching alone
pretty sad actually..

so today was a pretty nice time
and i felt i had two really good friends
where we can talk about anyting
because we know each other so well
and we have quite similar interest and ideas

be it having dinner and toking rubbish
or walking around citylink n comex fair
or the random j.co donut eat n chat
or a heart to heart cum current affairs chat at the other starbucks in raffles city
all the way into the night..
i felt good..

when was the last time i had such chance..

well.. i can onli hope to have more such instances to spend with friends..
and maybe go sing k
go do some sports
or shopping sessions
and mayb plan for a short hols..
like wat seems to be other "friends" can do..
why does it never happen in my life? lol..

maybe because i'm a hermit
still pretty much trying to lead a life of my own
thinking tt i have friends
but actually
most of them are juz "hi/bye"
and now i desperately wana come out of my shell..

:: bribery! ::

yesterday (since its past 1am)
i campaigned at the Epiphany welcome tea
well well..
it was quite a nerve recking experience once again
although i've been thru so many interviews
and some idiotic campaign at last year's hall (greatly smelly) jcrc elections..

well..
my kind friend (read vinc)
even went to great extends to help me print and cut and paste little cards
and buy n pack nice little goodie pouches..
which consists of mentos n hello panda..
haha..
thanks vinc!

anyway
during the speech
i was "gibberish-ing"
because i initially had a mental prep
but up there, too tense
then juz say whatever came to mind
and many tings didn't come out..
hmpf!

anyways..
hope everyone who was there will consider carefully
and join as member of epiphany
and VOTE! Isaac Lim for SPO2..
well well..


(for those who r curious, u may like to look back at last year
August/September's posts for my past campaigning stuffs, now i read le feel its quite funny.. haha)

*on a sidenote, i wana go shopping later in the afternoon!*

:: sun ::

We see you everyday. But we often complain of you being so hot. But when it rains too heavily, we wait for your return. Often, we dun see your worth. But for sure, we thank you for being there for all the things we need. But. Have mercy on us.

:: real good yakitori ::

At nanbantei japanese restaurant at level 5 far east plaza, you get real good, value for money lunch sets, especially the yakitori.. The chef grills it fresh meat and other assorted yakitori for you behind the counter. For first timers, try the obento.. You will not regret it. 5 different yakitori, including the extra delicious meat balls and quail eggs, served with pickles, fresh yasai and japanese pearl rice topped with seaweed, minced pork and mushrooms. Have a drink of freshly brewed ocha and end with a delightful bowl of glutineous rice ball with red bean.. Heavenly.. Only $14.70 including GST and service charge for the whole meal..

:: before my hair goes.. ::

Its been quite some time i kept averagely long hair. I want to keep it longer. But the weather is stopping me from it. So...

:: new style. Yay! ::

Dun look so stunned when u meet me.. Yes. I'm still Isaac.. Well.. I cut this hair for 2 reason.. One, its too hot.. Two, someone wants me to have same style as him.. But due to the different nature of our hair, the same pattern of cut unfortunately doesn't look alike in the end.. Probably due to the shape of our faces as well.. The other reason, its warm. But after cutting, i feel that in school today, the weather is Damn hot.. Is it due to more exposure of the skin to the sun thus causing it, or that it is really hot today, or my clothes? Well..

:: sports and other activities ::

year two
doing badly
and never seem to realise it..
i'm still throwing myself and my attention into so many things in the last week, and the coming week.. well well well..
i've got endless interviews and auditions next week starting monday..
oh my!
the work that comes after doesn't seem to enter my mind..

and i'm getting sporty..
i'm doing runs after runs in the coming weeks and months..
*just a random one: anyone wana join me for KPE swing: 5km walk run on 14/9? its free. and got goodie bag n tee shirt.. lol*

other than runs
i'm attempting to join a dragon boating team and train up..
(i joined young NTUC for a trial session yesterday.. fun!)
I want to Jian Fei!!!!!!

:: chase ::

time flies
as fast as a mosquito attack
before you know it
you are hurt
a million times you come to realisation
but you never seem to be able to do anything about it
you plan to do something for eons
but never seem to have touched it
before its over

we chase endlessly
for things
love
position
money
passion
and so many more things
that seems to escape my mind with time...



*** i wanted to buy a certain album.. but it seems to be quite some time le and i tink i wun bother to listen to it much now.. not in fashion liao siah..is "in" the constant "in" word? once its "out" means its pastense? hmm..***

:: know what u eat ::

Its been quite some time since mcdonald's started putting the nutrition information of its food items on the tray mats. But today, Dearie decided to teach me about choosing the right food and all the other things about nutrition. Did you know that mcspicy contains 1310mg of sodium, which might put quite alot of pressure on your kidney? That amount of sodium is 3 times of 6 pieces nuggets. Surprisingly, 6 piece nuggets seems one of the healthiest food around, winning the deceptively healthy looking grilled chicken foldover in the energy, fat, cholestrol and sodium categories. Altho foldover has the highest dietary fibre quantity at 4g, but come on, that little amount of vege found, my friend who dun like veggies will remove them lo.. So.. For a low carbo diet and much healthier choice, u know what to choose at mac. But u r really health concious, try to lessen ur visits to mcdonalds. Wonder how Dearie keeps his abs toned despite his at least once a week visit to mc..

:: guy/gay ::

my jap sensei made a dumb statement today
about piercing and earrings being two different things
and another student commented on
that a guy pierces his left ear
while a piercing on the right means his gay
another loud and vocal student immediately said
"left guy, right, u change to a.."
erm.. we know how to spell..

*on a sidenote, my new jap teacher is HILARIOUS and fun!!!
HMJ2 is gonna be so fun and happening!
fujita sensei rules!

:: missing you ::

probably.. after so long... i feel the weird feeling of missing someone..
actually.. its been happening for awhile..
really..

since we got quite close (about four months back, when it was more or less on track)
each time we part..
i feel sour
how i wish i'm with him 24/7
even he is at his work (in local office)
i would miss him
and we will exchange sweet notings via sms..

then he went on his business trips around the world..
it hurts me every minute i can't see him
the daily Skype-ing is a necessity, not a want.
being able to hear n see him each nite was wonder.
if there was a day i didn't receive his sms/msn msg
i feel so awkward

and when he IS in town
the once (at least) per hour sms is something i wait for..
oh...

when i was staying over at upper east coast
every night was heaven while the days (as in day time) without him was hell
i miss him every minute
i had to go out for fresh air to try to keep my life in blance.. not exaggeration!

and now tt i've moved back
my sms bill will most probably burst
unless i switch to student plan soon..

because every moment
(after the stay together)
i don't see him and he dun see me
we miss each other
miss each other...
miss each other...

love? tts probably it..
and age and gender is not a factor
(we have broken out of the typical norm, sex is not the only key!)

wil dearie.. i love you.

:: 2 years le ::

unkowingly
this blog has been going on for two whole years le
i remember posting my first post
with a shot of my camera phone
and me
on 9th August 2006
when i was still in army
and was so excited about a 3.2megapixel phone
and can do blogging directly after taking picture..

how time flies
i have ORD-ed
gone to see so many people
made even more new friends
celebrated two birthdays with this blog being the informant
came out to my friends and other readers who know little secrets about me
led this wonderful persona called absolutmilo
shared laughter and fun
and frustrations, rantings, anger
news and entertainment
a million things
in words pictures music videos and podcasts

this blog has come a long way
and i can only keep tinking of ways to re-invent it..

it will be my life record
not just for the past 2 years
but many years to come

my platform where i can speak and express myself freely
and the people who are interested to know more about me can dig in and enjoy!

here it is..
my 399th post

:: end of orientations ::

tiring 2 weeks have finally come to an end
although i'm still quite busy and sleep deprived this coming weekend..
(becoz i'm here at 24 hour playwriting competition now.. here in the function room
of European Association Building)
wow..
well.. school is starting in 2 days time..
oh my goodness
i need to concentrate on school work now..
and
i need to pull up my socks (and gpa) big time..
coz this semester is serious
fun time is so over
people
please remind me constantly..

:: tea break ::

Nothing beats a nice tea break. Like the one i have now.. At bakerzin UE square, having dessert tapas and a pot of strawberry tea. Relaxing. But the Macbook beside means there's job to be done.. Orh..

:: . ::

When the sentence gets too long,
use the full stop.

:: squeeze me dry ::

the series of camps is drying me out
really
be it just being a programmer cum senior attached in hall camp
(for onli 2 days till date)
or be it as a fake freshie cum siao on group leader..

i'm badly deprived of sleep
looking tanned (or should i say chao tah)
sleepy and unstable
sunken face
but constantly trying to look good..

the weather this week is amazingly hot
just the opposite of last week

today i'm suppose to be playing paintball and dragon boating and going on amazing race
and shi zi lu kou vers 2.01 with the people in Taser
but i'm so tired
i've decided to do something else less taxing but more dreaded
that is so settle the stuffs that have been piling up
my family stuffs, business stuffs, education stuffs, financial stuffs, drama stuffs..

i've been running around more
albeit alone and more freedom
but i met some people around and they all seem to be so relaxed
while i look at a completely diminished stress ball..

its alright..
just some time more to go
it will all be over and i can enjoy my school life
drained off all these extra activities
and concentrate on my studies..

:: 一切完美 ::

a really nice and meaningful song
which is really well liked these days
Perfect Cut was a nice show
no matter if you think it was a pun/spin off from nip/tuck
or it was a real life "mock-cumentary"
even if just a simple reflection of the realities and situation
the show and song is a hit!

我知道我变漂亮了 -
《一切完美》主题曲
詞/曲：石欣卉
製作：陳達偉

过去的批评嘲讽 Let it go Let it go
过去的轻蔑冷落 Let it go Let it go
有些人口不饶人 却忘了瞧瞧自己
又有什么资格

时刻都善良待人 Let’s move on Let’s move on
时刻都做好本分 Let’s move on Let’s move on
有些人心思浅薄 绝不是宽容
自暴自弃的理由

也许 确实也受过言语打击
也许 因此而失去了自信心
但千万别将勇气深锁在阴影里
我们又不会妨碍这世界（的）美丽

我知道我变漂亮了
我知道我被注意了
曾难过 失落
微笑一下就过
外在的美貌容易戳破
内在的美好细水长流

我知道我变漂亮了
我知道我也豁达了
不自卑 不埋怨
就算还差一点点
用内涵弥补一切缺陷
内在的美 迷住每个人的眼

----------------------------------------

another perfect acting i would like to comment on
is that of Heath Ledger (aka Mr Brokeback)
and his great performance of Joker in the batman movie
The Dark Knight
although i haven't watched it yet
but i am waiting with much anticipation
knowing that it will be a good show..

(unfortunately he isn't around anymore to listen to these rave reviews
and see the nods to commend on his performance.)

miloboi says: "what's perfect? living in a world with open minds,
and accepting everything that comes to you. that will be perfect."

:: Thyra Rocks! part 2 ::

To continue the fun...

day 2:
day 2 started off with another mass dance practice
then we headed to the rugby field at SRC for war games
the challenge was to have fun with water bombs
and build a little "camp base" wrapped with toilet rolls
and protect it during the fight
ensuring that it won't be wet..
however
all the teams failed miserably
but had loads of fun with the water bombs
be it filled with water
or "teh-c", water with mud.. eww..

the afternoon had us gunned off for a day of amazing race around singapore
got the chance to climb up to the top
as we reached the new park connectors in the west
flew kites at west coast park
walked through the henderson waves
view sight from mount faber park
play games at vivo city
enjoy good food at Chinatown and its neghbouring vicinities
then head down to settler's cafe
and ending with a visit to the Singapore Flyer.
after that
we headed for a night of chalet stay at Sentosa
which was really a BAD experience
because the room was ridiculously small
and was suppose to fit 20 people
many ended up sleeping by the benches around
on the floor
or at the poolside... PPLM (poor planning low morale)

Day 3:
we were at Sentosa already
so beach games was the highlight naturally
waking up to rain
we were worried
and prayed for the rain to clear
nonetheless
the rain cleared in time for a fun morning of beach games
it ended with a telematch where the people had to save a "princess" on a little offshore island

we told them that they will get dirty still later at night
so they washed up a little
and we were headed back to NTU
where we will be staying for 2 nights

that night
the couples were paired up for SP initiation
and it was fun going around to disturb the couples
especially the guys and gals who were from Thyra
eavesdropping on their conversation
making funny sounds to disturb them
and taking care of their welfare
they underwent the dirty initiation games
with chilli and flour and eggs
and got a nice treat with their SP of a bowl of warm green bean soup..
the night ended late
getting to sleep only after 4am
and most importantly
they had to bathe clean before going to bed..

day 4:
a relatively simple day
with day games in the morning being cancelled
mass dance practise took over
and the people got prepared for
the ultimate takan session
in the afternoon..

after the boys and girls got dressed up and prepared
we brought them to different place
and it was the guys turn to go search for their SP..
they were "treated" to different experience
at each room
and the seniors had fun playing with them..
doing stuffs like jumping around
stripping
singing
dancing
and getting all embarassed and sweaty
before winning the hands of their ladies
for a romantic night out at Pariss International for a fantastic dinner

the night was fun filled with good food..
scallops
sashimi
oysters
sharks fin soup
delicious cheesecake
and fun games to fill the room with warmth, romance and laughter..

the night came to an end with a night of fun and drinks at DXO
where all the boys and girls went wild
snapping photos
and dancing to the hippest new tunes to the like of pussycat dolls and madonna
and retro hits like YMCA and loads of mambo tunes
fun! fun! fun!

day 5:
the camp was near the end
in the morning
all prepared for the finale night
having rehearsals and all
awaiting for a blast at night

afternoon
we played the finale game of Cluedo
real life computer war game style fantasy game
fighting the evil villains
and getting clues to save the princess
the game wasn;t completed
unfortunately
due to a lack of time..

then all were gathered for the finale night at Hall 3 function hall
and the GLs were dressed up (cross dress) for a night of "urban pageant"
fun and laughter filled the function room
and was pushed to the climax when my team performed
we put up a nice little skit based on the theme of "Desperado"

the camp ended
with the presentation of awards
Thyra received Best Perseverence

when it came down to best male freshie
everyone cheered for someone who was really proud and loud
but fortunately
the judges had eyes
and it was awarded to the most deserving guy
Kuan Wee (Trent) of Thyra!
yeah.. i'm so proud of my freshie..
look forward to meeting all of you real soon

all thyra-ians
remember to go for the welcome tea
and join in CAC activities next year okay?
hope to be part of the fun at CAC FOC again next year..

till then..

Castovia Rocks!
Thyra rocks!!!

:: Thyra Rocks! ::

after 5.5 days of fun, its finally come to an end.
a whole year of hard work and anticipation
finally draws to a close
as we look forward to more participation
and excitement in the following year
when school starts again!

NTU CAC FOC kicked off to a fun start
i've yet to upload some photos i've taken
will do so asap!

but here's a round up of the activities and my feelings

Day 0:
first day had me reporting back to CAC room last sunday
was excited and all
then
being a "fake freshie"
i had to go seperate from my team of group leaders (gls)
and be part of the action
pretending to mix around like a freshman
arriving at boon lay mrt
joining the crew for fun
and talking and making new friends
it was a tough job using my fake name (i was called Willie, it took some time to get used to)
and had to learn the people's names fast
as we played some ice breaker games and cheers
it was superbly pathetic for me
because i'm a loud guy and wanted to teach them cheers and games
but had to be reserved so as not to be exposed!
night games followed and ran around to play
it was a good oppotunity for bonding, i felt, being a fake freshie
i was more close to them.
then we round up with painting of our Thyra banner!
sleep was only gained at 4am...

day 1:
monday started and tireness began to set in
kicking off with a mass dance pratice.
following that, tour de ntu
i had to take part in the various games
however
i was injured once again
my previous back injury returned to haunt me
but the journey to the clinic for medical review was a good opportunity for me to recover my
senior stand
as i went with 2 of my friends
and could finally talk without hindance.
pool games in the afternoon had to be cancelled unfortunately due to rain.
evening came
and fright night continued.
i was a fkae freshie
but didn't walk through the fright as we did not have adequate time..
(fright night is time consuming)
back in the function room while we changed and waited for the other groups to return
i was back in my super enthu mood
because later tt night
i would be reinstated
and needn't act as a freshie anymore!
after the camp com told all about the fake freshie..
they all started to look stunt and had to guess who it was
after several tries
i decided to just exposed myself and return to being Isaac!
haha.. all in the name of fun,. people
its not easy being a fake freshie you know!

i would continue my story later..coz i'm tired typing things.. haha..

to be continued..

Thyra @ Castovia..
the civilisation lives on!

:: NDP08 part 5 ::

I'm back at the Marina bay floating platform today. And to welcome me, SFI has decided to prepare a wholesome meal of western that i so miss since my ns days.. Wow.. Black pepper roasted quarter chicken with a generous resting of boiled potatoes, corn on cob and toasted bun.. I'm impressed.. Simple n delicious. Too bad i'm on a non carbo diet.. So i can't have the potatoes. It looks deliciou.. Hmm.. Temptation.. SFI scores this time around..

:: tired? ::

we got sporty today

as a group of my army friends went to play badminton..
i admit
i suck at sports
but at least
i've the courage to start having more contact with sports
simple ones though
at this age..

but all efforts seem to go to waste
when we went cafe cartel for lunch
and helped ourselves to endless helpings of bread..
evil!

i then proceeded to have my hair cut
so i went far east to look for Zen
i asked him if i could do the china-doll staight cut look
he said my hair was "pong pong" in front
and will flare up
so he cut a asymmetric short kempt style for me..



thereafter
i tried my luck going tangs to look for weizhi
which coincidentally
was on shift
(he was suppose to leave at 4.30, but stayed on a little longer.. so.. haha.. yuan fen!)
and we chatted a while
and thereafter proceeded to SMU
coz he was meeting his gf there

i became "dian deng pao"
eating my first Subway cold cut trio salad
which is amazingly good
for 6 bucks
you get a pretty decent portion of veges, ham, and dressings..

he offered to accompany me to walk to esplanade
where i was catching Happy Robin
on the way
we chatted on several stuffs
on the word "atas" and "wasting"
which seems like the hit word these days

i must admit
that in recent months
I've grown to develop the liking once again for the exquisite
the expansive
its not like i'm dying to reach the upper class of society
because i sincerely think i would be unable to
but..
being able to think of yourself seems self-satisfying
so let me live in my own world

while wc said tt he is constantly feeling tired
since the first semester school started
i think other than the fact that we are older
is the fact that university life is vastly different
and coping and managing is a big hoo-haa
putting it in the corrct place and leading an enriched life is not easy
but if well accomplished
you will lead the most fruitful period of your life.

i am still trying to arrange my lifestyle
and there are many factors and faces to it..
i need the time to slowly piece it together
and i need to do it fast
for one, this is a rat race
for another
i've not much time left

moving on
i went to catch Happy Robin
a music sharing session
where ex-TCS actor, star search finalist
currently Jia 88.3 DJ
cum accomplished stage actor (Chang & Eng, Asian Boys Volume 2 and 3)
Robin Goh performs a Jazz gig @ esplanade theatre studio
tonight marks the first night of a four nite shows

the short one hour show
had Robin chatting about life and love
and singing several hits and some special classics
(he did a jazz version of Singapura and yue liang dai biao wo de xin)
and bravely stood out as the guy with a great pink heart
and exposed some little ditty dirty decrets
(such as loving Men, big and strong, and falling for guys
who just meet the minimum legal age (if there is such in Singapore.. pun..))

i can't agree more to his believe on love
that PLU love lives are often dreamt of and wished to be so perfect
but more often than not
turns out to be just.......

well
surprise
dearie willie appeared outside the theatre waiting for me before the show
yes, he bought a tix without my knowledge
so we enjoyed the concert together
just when i thought i would be lonely.. well well..
such little surprise makes life interesting
spicing up our little lovey dovey relationship..:)

to willie:
yup.. nex week will be our 5th month together
people might think as grown ups
why are we still concern about the little months
but deep down
we understand that for people like us
each month count is special in its own little way
like an achievement
a great task accomplished!
i'll be in orientation camp next week
so we shall have our little celebration after that
will miss you loads when i dun see you
for a whole whole week.. orh...
still..
i love you..

:: do- mo- ::

Reliving the days when we first saw this cute clay figurine coming out from an egg.. Domo is a rare gem on tv shorts actually. It looks scary, but inside, its an innocent, cute, adventurous, fun, ignorant thing that we still dunno came from where? Domo..

:: healthy living ::

isaac is fat
and he knows it
even with regular runs in the parks
and several 5 and 10k runs in the past few weekends
and regular swims and fitness sessions at the gym
he is still not losing weight
instead
increasing at a steady rate..
that is BAD!

so with consultation from wil
and the decision made
plus a little will power n determination
isaac will start from yesterday
to adopt a whole new eating habit
which will hopefully see him revive the "post-BMT" look
at least for a start

so the minimum carbohydrate goes into each meal
and much more vegetables
a little meat n fish
and just adequate amount of oil

cut soft drinks to maximum a can a week
and rely solely on plain water
eat in moderation
reduce intakes of salt n other sauces
natural spices works best

double the training for running and swimming
and weights training at a regular interval

anybody keen to help isaac
or to join isaac?

:: big brother sense ::

everytime we meet new people
or when he run into old friend
he will introduce me bravely as his partner

but when we run into my friend
i would say he is my friend..

he is like a big brother to me
his friends thoroughly agree with me
our 10 year age gap
does nothing to improve the situation

he is more intelligent
diligent
creative
motivated
understanding

he is like a role model to me
90% of the time when we are really sitting down to talk
he is always the one passing on his big brother sense to me..
like he always does to his little brother (not me, his real brother)

so nonetheless
sometimes i will think to myself
why am i so "glue-ed" to him
is it because i take him as the "kor kor" i never had
or is it really love

well
time has come to tell
that this is normal in a relationship
because he has undergone so much
he knows what is best for me
and in fact
that would be a good thing.

loving him is a bliss
the happiness, the many things that come along
you get to experience a better, more well-rounded life
i am really happy.

that's just me
i would prefer someone more mature to teach me things
because life is a lesson in itself
dear.. thanks for being a teacher to me as well..

at least
i know that i'm more suited to being the person being led
than being a leader in relationship.

suddenly thinking of the days..
when i was dating people who always look up to me.. tts so not me..
to the girls who seem to wait for something to happen..
tts just not my cup of tea..
this is, i know..

enjoyment. bliss. of being willie's pampered little darling..

:: 天才与白痴 ::

it took us a long while
to know that in a relationship
there must be one party who is willing
to be the idiot
to dwelve into LOVE..
and enjoy whatever the other party throws at him
be it good or bad..
two mutually consensus people
one will be 白痴
the other will act as the 天才.

dearie n i take turn
in tricking one another with our little ways
to show our affections for one another
so called opposite ends attract..
but we are more like super random magnets
changing polarity at different times

there will be sometime where he is the big brother to be
but at others i take the leading role
because we don't persistantly be the one in power
that's probably why we can last
from the start till now..

we rarely quarrel
more often than not either party will give in, in less than an hour
we make up quite fast
and life goes on as usual thereafter
he sometimes makes the decision
sometimes, the choice is mine

people see us as one, gradually
but deep down
we know we are two seperate entities
and the reason we can be seen as one by others
is because we have so many empty voids in our lives
that the other can fill in (hopefully) seamlessly
maybe this is called
天衣无缝

:: hot hot ::

i've got a migraine
a fever
a sore throat
ON A SATURDAY MORNING!

hate it to the max..
couldn't go for NDP NE show 2 today
dreaded
still can't watch my 5 minutes of black knights acrobatic display
and 3 minutes of fire works
hopefully today's show is a failure and everyone gotta slog it out with irritable guest.. haha
so evil of me..
anyway
i'm like rotting my day away because i'm sick and i can't do anything except eat medicine and watch boring tv shows..
saturday no good shows like price is right, wheel of fortune or ellen show one lo..
only got my Doraemon at 930.. which i missed cause i was still aching and moaning while sleeping..
although being at marina bay viewing gallery in white n red is not a very easy job and
not too comfortable
but it beats staying and dying slowly at home!

super suay isaac..

thanks willie for taking care of me this dreadful morning..
hope to get well soon...
like..
by today afternoon!

:: The Perfect Cut . Episode 2 review ::

in the second episode of this 13 parter
it took a look at something i quite interested in doing.. and in fact, did a little.. haha
LIPOSUCTION..

yes.. i did it for my chin area so as to not aggravate my double chin
now i'm trying hard for it not to return.. lol

as for the show today
we saw zheng wanling in a very loud character as Emily Tan.
she consulted Kelly for view on how to look better.
although Kelly advised her to look to Sky for gym trainings
she turned to dr lollipop instead (its Dr Bobby Low, played by Dick Su)
after two failed consultations
she went home disheartened
only to get reprimanded by her younger brother Alex
who dislikes her loud character (in this case, it leaves her single partially due to her being loud AND an holding a "scary" job of being a mortician.)
Alex brought up the different negative side effects and possible after effects of liposuction.

personally
i am suffering from a slight after effect of liposuction currently
my lower chin, towards the left,
constantly feels numb, and when pressed against,
has a painful sensation.

yup..

but if i got the money,
well
i would still consider to go for liposuction..
I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT..
someone please save me
any personal trainers reading my blog willing to help me for free? haha..

(oh ya, if Julian Hee can be my personal trainer, i promise to lose all my weight within a month.. but then again, i might wana take longer so i can see him more often.. swoons..)

i find the three siblings very unique and special
they are all "beauticians" in their own ways
a "fake" beautician
a "body" beautician
a "deadman" beautician..

looking for more drama tomorrow..

(no review on thrid episode tmr, as i'll be watching Tizzy Bac's concert at Esplanade tmr..
so sad..)

:: this is Tara ::

No, not the amazing race asia, but a delicious pizza from Spizza for friends. TARA contains tomato, parmasan cheese, bacon, mushrooms and an egg. Sorry for showing you such a picture, i only remembered about telling my frIends about this when i finished half of it.. So yup.. This is my favourite pizza flavour from Spizza.. I love quinto too.. Yeah.. Oh ya, must mention that Spizza's pizzas are roasted in traditional spit fire wooden ovens.. Yeah.. Think of the chamber.. Thus the pizzas all taste delicious and packs a flavourful punch.. Friends, anyone keen to share a Spizza with me?

:: The Perfect Cut . Episode 1 review ::

being a fan of Julian Hee AND Thomas Ong
I am more than glad to be able to a (hopefully) periodic episode review

In the debut episode of the brand new channel U's show Perfect Cut
we see a trio of people who can definitely make you look good
we have local top aesthetician Alex Tan (played by Thomas Ong)
friend and listener, clinical psychiatrist Kelly Lim (Michelle Chia)
and hunky, cute, ever fabulous darling of mine,
Julian Hee (as Sky Tan, the buffed up personal trainer).

they come into contact with a problem couple who is psychotically unstable
Yoyo (constance song) is a married woman who is emotionally affected by her husband sam (bernard tan) who doesn't seem to be interested in her, thus she begins to let her imagination run wild, thinking that sam likes women with large breasts.
she gives up the long term psychological consultations, and looks for Alex instead for a brest enhancement surgery.

however, sam is actually more interested in Julian Hee.

as the story unfolds, we see the complication between the five of them.

the show reaches a climax when my darling Sky announced to Sam that he is not gay
(yah, like i believe..). then sam's job is disconnected.. while Yoyo rushes to do yet another surgery.

and then, someone called Alex to tell him someone is dead..

on all, i seriously think the drama is really intense. it was on the whole a tight show, and really reflected the society's veiwpoints on the topic in a positive light.
the surgery scenes was quite gross, especially since i was having my dinner. eeeww...

the actors acting were above average. i must give credit to Julian Hee for giving the
Beach.Ball.Babes (channel 8's 9pm drama)
girls a run for their money.
he revealed his tanned and toned body in many scenes, and looks FANTASTIC.
its a real pity tha this might be his very last show with the station..
(i sincerely hope they will have a vcd or dvd collection of the show,
for me to swoon over him.. lol)
credits also go to Constance Song for yet another courageous performance.

in my opinion: heart is more important. breast size doesn't really matter. viewing for pleasure.
but i believe that if i were to date Fiona Xie, i would feel very insecure..
(and yes, Yoyo, Sam likes people with big chests, but must be muscular.. haha.. Julian has quite formidable chest siah..)

:: happy days ::

I realise not working for money makes me much happier!
really!

i've been involved in a whole load of volunteering work in the past week
though i slog it all out under hot sun,
or immense pressure
and meeting easily irritable people
but my life is felt being so much more nourished..

i guess working as a volunteer
you look forward to the little good stuffs you gain at the end of it
with the experience being priceless!
you will feel tt you are a better breed of human being
and at least you are not working simply for money and not being happy.

you get to meet new friends.
and find a new meaning to life
and share experiences and life with different assortment of people.

so for the Arts Fest festival maze friends i've made under the heat at Raffles City
thank you for the experience

to the people i've known better at The Giving Place opening
thank you for the experience

my group R2 and all others i know through NDP Bay Ambassador
thank you for the experience and looking forward to more fun days ahead!

the young friends i've made at Osim Singapore Triathlon
race pack packing and expo day 1
thanks for the experience and looking to work with some of you again
on the race this weekend

constantly on the look out for new volunteering opportunities
and learn along the way
enjoy and have fun..

*1 key to the joy of volunteering..
because you are not a paid staff
they can't scold you for fault
and even if u put aeroplane..
but tts not very good la.. *
