:: danny yeo ::

Not sure if many of u know Danny Yeo Chin Wei. Better known as 杨君伟.

A former YES 933 and ufm 1003 DJ, he currently blogs on omy.com and teaches at ngee ann poly.

He was a great dj. He speaks with knowledge and character. He is in a class of his own, a fantastic DJ, really. 很有深度,内涵,品味,态度的绅士。

He really is my 偶像! Super idolize him la. Registered for this course of Chinese media n communication partially because he's teaching (and also for my passion in Chinese AND mass comm).

I took a look at the unconfirmed timetable just released and yay, he will be teaching me Speech and Presentation Skills on Tuesdays from 2 to 6pm.. Haha..

Hope tt tt is true. Can't wait to attend his lessons. Bet it will b fun! Cool 毙了!

:: 叶子 * 怀念阿桑 ::

yesterday, Taiwanese singer A-Sang (original name: 黄嬿璘),
silently left us. At age 34, the power vocalist known for her sultry voice, and bringing to life
the theme song of 《蔷薇之恋》 《叶子》 .
She was diagnosed with breast cancer in the preceding years,
and quietly left the entertainment business to proceed with treatment.
The low profile singer did not even contact her relatives and management company in recent times, and it was only when news about her passing that everyone got a shock.
Though not an extremely popular singer,
but several of her songs were a hit within the mandarin music market.
The more memorable songs, other than 《叶子》, included
Her sultry voice bring so much emotions to the songs
its hard not to feel it and now
cry along to the tunes.
Let us now pay a tribute to this outstanding songstress
who brought us classics
as well as reminding us how frail life is.
A sang - wishing you a peaceful journey to a happier world.

姓名:阿桑 / Judy / 黄嬿璘性别:
职业:歌手 星座:双鱼座 血型:O 身高:156cm
阿桑是华研国际音乐继成功打造第一偶像团体S.H.E与R&B小王子张智成之后,
在2003年推出的是声音非常具有特色的女歌手。
藉由一出偶像剧《蔷薇之恋》的成功,
主唱片尾曲《叶子》的阿桑,
在个人专辑发片前即享受比一般新人更高的知名度,
后援会早早成立,到校园演唱更是广受学生热情欢迎,
丝毫不逊其它已成名的歌手,殊不知这些掌声与赞美对阿桑来说,
已迟来了四年,看到今天小小的成功起步,
对照其传奇性的经历与坎坷的歌坛美梦,
难怪阿桑会频频感慨落泪。在新专辑中,
阿桑为了配合春天脚步逼近,这次造型变得更为柔美,
尽现阿桑的女人味。在主打歌“寂寞在唱歌”中,
阿桑试图唱出都会男女心里潜藏的寂寞,
即使再幸福的人也有被寂寞感侵蚀的时候。
而“一直很安静”一曲亦同时收录于
《仙剑奇侠传》电视原声带内。
<<叶子>>
叶子是不会飞翔的翅膀 翅膀是落在天上的叶子
天堂原来应该不是妄想 只是我早已经遗忘 当初怎么开始飞翔
孤单是一个人的狂欢 狂欢是一群人的孤单
爱情原来的开始是陪伴 但我也渐渐地遗忘 当时是怎样有人陪伴
我一个人吃饭旅行(到处)走走停停 也一个人看书写信自己对话谈心
只是心又飘到了哪里 就连自己看也看不清 我想我不仅仅是失去你
我一个人吃饭旅行(到处)走走停停 也一个人看书写信自己对话谈心
只是心又飘到了哪里 就连自己看也看不清 我想我不仅仅是失去你
孤单是一个人的狂欢 狂欢是一群人的孤单
爱情原来的开始是陪伴 但我也渐渐地遗忘 当时是怎样有人陪伴
我一个人吃饭旅行(到处)走走停停 也一个人看书写信自己对话谈心
只是心又飘到了哪里 就连自己看也看不清 我想我不仅仅是失去你
我一个人吃饭旅行(到处)走走停停 也一个人看书写信自己对话谈心
只是心又飘到了哪里 就连自己看也看不清 我想我不仅仅是失去
你叶子是不会飞翔的翅膀翅膀是落在天上的叶子
<<一直很安静>>
空荡的街景 想找个人放感情
做这种决定 是寂寞与我为邻
我们的爱情 像你路过的风景
一直在进行 脚步却从来不会为我而停
给你的爱一直很安静 来交换你偶尔给的关心
明明是三个人的电影 我却始终不能有姓名
你说爱像云 要自在飘浮才美丽
我终於相信 分手的理由时候很动听
给你的爱一直很安静 来交换你偶尔给的关心
明明是三个人的电影 我却始终不能有姓名
给你的爱一直很安静 我从一开始就下定决心
以为自己要的是曾经 却发现爱一定要有回音
给你的爱一直很安静 来交换你偶尔给的关心
明明是三个人的电影 我却始终不能有姓名
给你的爱一直很安静 除了泪在我的脸上任性
原来缘份是用来说明 你突然不爱我这件事情
给一个人的爱不要一直很安静,要勇敢对她说!
<<受了点伤>>
my love,晚安 就别再为难 别管我会受伤
想开体谅 我已经习惯 不然又能怎样?
这个城市太会说谎 爱情只是昂贵的橱窗
沿路华丽灿烂陈列甜美幻象 谁当真谁就上当
竟然以为你会不一样 但凭什么你要不一样
因为寂寞太冷 虚构出的温暖 没理由能撑到天亮
前进转弯我跌跌撞撞 在这迷宫打转死心失望
会比较简单却又心有不甘
这个城市太会伪装 爱情就像霓虹灯
一样谁离开之后却把灯忘了关 让梦作得太辉煌
以为能够留你在身旁 但是谁肯留在谁身旁
一首情歌都比一个亲吻更长 这就叫做好聚好散
别说你对我感到愧疚 别说你会永远想念我
我很知道孤单这条路怎么走 请你不要安慰我
my love,晚安 别放在心上
我只受了点伤 只是受了点伤
We must live life, happily...
Thank you A-sang for the great songs.
May you rest in peace.

:: The Happy! Party Thanks You! ::

Hey Happy! Friend!!!!

Once again, Thank You! For being part of my 23rd Birthday Party, the Happy party. In the midst of the rush rush 4 hours, I missed many opportunities to take much more photographs (Haha) and to make relevant speeches to thank my revered friends and sponsors.

The Happy! Party was the third party, as part of the Pure&Sexy Party series. Thank you to my old friends who have been to all three parties, and hope those who joined me for the first time enjoyed it as well!

Thank you 5-Degrees and its founder, Mr Willie Chan, for your staunch support for the event and generous sponsorship.

The birthday caps, as well as birthday presents for the other Birthday boy and girl was sponsored by 5-Degrees. Best dressed prizes for the attendees were especially provided by Urban Concepts Connections, which can be found at Cineleisure Orchard. The snack pack in the brown bags were provided by Canteen@P, a snack and drinks corner located at Tanjong Pagar Road, next to Play Club. Party Treats folders and the many items inside were mostly had made and designed by me and my friends Vincent Yeo and Melvin Lum, thank them for helping with the crafts, as well as 5-Degrees for the fund to purchase the materials. The handmade sweets from Sticky can be found at their shop at Central. Thanks to Sticky for the partial sponsorship of the sweets, as well as Marsh (found at Duxton Road) for the bottles.

:: Its gonna be a HOT WINTER! 热冬 ::

Why should gyms be the only place be a "mating place" for many of US?
Haha.. I love gyms too.. Nice place to ogle.. Muahaha..
Its really no wonder Jolin's new song is SOOO targetted at queers! So many songs are suited for us la.. gyms.. no boyfriend only real man.. evolve into butterfly.. love like parachute.. u happy me internally injured.. soooo many..

anyways.. here's the lyrics for 热冬..

**********************************************************

气候暖化我的心却在冬眠 桃花少到比北极熊还可怜
周末夜也没有半通手机来电 跑步机前才找到养眼画面

不必再control 不必ㄍㄧㄣ爱错回收 看对眼直接行动 这一季将是热冬

当对的你出现会有暖化感觉 在雪花消失前只想和你热恋
热情的拥抱冰山也会溶解 当爱点燃整个冬天

it's gonna be a hot winter a hot hot winter hot winter a hot hot gonna be a
hot winter a hot hot winter hot hot hot hot ...

地球暖化前要去不丹花园 别想南极企鹅孤单在冰原
健身房不该变成相亲地点 满身大汗哪还有浪漫空间

:: 花蝴蝶 ::

I am like a butterfly
only want to be pretty
I have evolved
and am still constantly
evolving....

*************************************************************************
花蝴蝶 歌手:蔡依林

环游了世界全世界
却发现美丽没有旗舰店
谁穿着钉鞋不肯变
停止了自转变成一个茧
你我都希望特别
又不敢太过于特别 yeah
流行是一种安全
搔着闷骚的太阳穴

你是花花世界里限量版的花花蝴蝶
美女们只是比较豁出去比较敢一点
花蝴蝶的美的艳的炫若没三审定谳
那些路人甲们凭什么发言惹人讨厌

快离开冬眠赶快破茧
别被无聊困在地球表面
想灵魂出窍甩平凡嘴脸
就自创品牌靠自己变脸
当你不刻意特别
突然就会变得特别 yeah
只要别越描越黑
你的眼睛就会放电

你可以瞬间飞去东京巴黎米兰纽约
别让别人嘴里的形容词左右你视野
如果有人的魅力足够为这世纪代言
那是她敢站出来变成蝴蝶飞舞翩翩

那些路人甲们凭什么发言惹人讨厌(准备惊艳)
你可以身穿花花限量的花蝴蝶
你可以比你想象中再爱炫再敢一点
你可以自己决定没得最后三审定谳
你可以让路人甲闭嘴惊艳

:: 妥协 ::

你 总爱编织谎言 我 负责配合表演
所有改变 只为了进入 你的世界
这情节 重复了一百遍
才发现 是你的心太野

你 画定楚河汉界 我 不能轻犯规
所有时间 都是先给了 你优先权
不自觉 爱到不敢冒险 成了你的傀儡
一年 两年 才看见 我有多狼狈

爱到妥协 到头来还是无解
历史不断重演 我好累
爱到妥协 也无法将故事再重写
你已下最后通牒 我躲在我的 世界

你只是害怕一个人睡
我不想再为你掉泪
我了解 不会变 不再徘徊
开始自己的明天

:: real man ::

My current favorite song.. 99% fits W la!

Jolin 蔡依林 「大丈夫」

(男生rap)我真的搞不太懂 你怎么会选择寂寞
要的通通都有 就少了那一个男朋友
你还要ging多久 你到底挑什么

听你说得多 不怕我罗嗦 知道我难过 陪着我沉默
手机桌布只有我 很多甜蜜小动作
自己吃饭没胃口 刷卡之前先问我

喜欢我朋友 也会爱我的狗
懂环保爱地球 保护我像英雄
总是大方介绍我 什么节日都记得
陪我减肥吃苹果 帮我买口红

I don't want a boyfriend
I need a real man
诚实的嘴 可靠的肩 温柔的眼
I don't want a boyfriend
I need a real man
Real man! Real man! Real man! Real man!
何时出现 何时出现 何时出现 何时出现

会玩会工作 会疯会生活
会下厨会运动 会爱会做梦
又像男孩又成熟 对我大方自己抠
教我绝招打电动 什么都有我

I don't want a boyfriend
I need a real man
诚实的嘴 可靠的肩 温柔的眼
I don't want a boyfriend
I need a real man
Real man! Real man! Real man! Real man!
可会出现 可会出现 可会出现 可会出现

(男生rap)我现在有一点通 该怎么解决你寂寞
你说了两三分钟 我愿意花两三年去做
既然你ging很久 要不要等等我

(女生rap)大丈夫耍酷耍温柔
肩膀什么都扛得动 我嘴唇轻轻动一动
就知道我在想什么

Just show me one real man
十项全男 Real man


.....................................................................

Ooh! I need a real man real man real man real man

其实。。。。 已经出现 已经出现 已经出现 已经出现。。。 哈哈哈哈哈哈!!!!

:: it's a Happy world! ::

it feels great making new friends
especially friends whom you can talk freely to
without any prohibitions

first,
its my sports camp friends from NP
wow
they are young, nubile, innocent
and they are soooo fun to be with
its interesting to see the world through these youngster's eyes
without being tainted by the troubles of adulthood yet..
orh....

next,
my friends from Trevvy
one afternoon together of bitching and yeah!
instant hit off..
its the kind of friends i've always looked forward to..
yes! they ARE friends..

btw..
i'm sooo looking forward to the new project we will be undertaking
which we will have a room up on mt emily
which we can hang out
play games
and chill with fellow people
and feel "belonged"
more importantly
we can be there to help others like us
to feel save, to "belong"
and we can all be together without feeling awkward
cool eh?

its time such a place is set up for queer youths in Singapore
somewhere not sleazy
somewhere where theres no alcohol and sex
somewhere which is common in overseas
somewhere which is lacking in Singapore
really..
being queer should not be simply constrained to random sex
dancing and party..
no no no!
its time this place came!
yeah!

Its going to be such a nice place..
so uber looking forward.

:: sinking ::

It is a dangerous pit to sink into.
But I think we have.
The regularity of his overseas trips.
The frequent nights out at Play.
The ostentiably long working hours.
The expectable foreplay n sex.
The lunches and dinners.
The stay overs.

When it becomes this regular.
When it becomes this used.
When everything is so planned and expected.
After one year...
One gets tired.

And thoughts start running through your head.
Random naughty thoughts runs thru my head.
Sunken in.
Isaac, beware.

:: when I was 17... ::

Did I form friendship and bonds so fast?

Looking at my OG for sports camp, I can't help but feel old.

For one, I'm not able to be so energetic. Pubescent, growing, eager, enthusiastic.
I wish I can be.
I tried, I think, I hope.

But more importantly, I am amazed by the strong bonds they have former, even in just the first 2 days. The friendship, the spirit, is admirable.

Because at that age, we do not so much see the complexities of life. More often than not, friends were the ones you talk to, to share your life with. And at tt age, as long as you can talk, no matter the topic, you will find immediate relations. Afterall, you do not actually know tt much things to have diverse opinions.

The girls have bonded by night one, even sitting on each others lap, discussing the guys..

The guys on the other hand, have formed cliques. They are good friends, with certain similar passions in certain activities, hitting the right freq.

Wow.

A fee years down, at my age, we start to stick to our old cliques. Well well. When making new friends, we are often biased, have our own list of expectations. We start to judge people, often biased. We always suspect if this "friend" is close to us if for some reasons.

It is difficult. Blame it in the society.

How I wish I can really be like them. Used to think their conversations were childish. On second thoughts, I think it is innocence. Something I've lost and yearn to gain back again. Something I'm jealous they have.

I really hope to gain back my youth, my vibrance, forging ties with these youngsters.

I tried, I try, trying...

:: reflections - aimless ::

Sleeping away at home
On days when I'm not out shopping.
I feel wasted.
I know I've a target a goal
But at many times
I am just an aimless soul
Parading myself to the crowd.
No cash on hand.
No motivation, really.
No destination in mind.
Just wandering.
What do I really want in life?
At this age, when people are busy with chasing
Dreams, technology, the ultimate modern day lifestyle.
I feel left behind.

A true otaku. Probably.

:: acting busy ::

I seem busy. With a million thoughts running thru my mind. There seems to b a thousand things tt I need to accompolish.

But the truth is, I cannot be more free. I've wasted enough time. And as much it seems tt I've a packed schedule, I'm actually just idling most of the time.. Waiting.. For something to happen. Really.

I've got orientation camps to attend. But I feel.. Lethargic. Because I see no reason now to attend. The enthusiasm has very much faded. In fact, I feel old to be in company of these "ru xiu wei gan" kids. I try to think I'm young n enjoy.. But.. 一言难尽..

I'm contemplating whether or not, to go for tmr's FOC. Can't blame.. My injured leg is also another reason prohibiting me..

Well..

:: more than ever ::

Life in NP starts as soon as today.

I chose Chinese media and communication over mass comm because it's a combination of both my passion in Chinese and mass comm. Also because of the niche market it aims. A small pioneering cohort and prospects with the diploma was also taken into consideration. Finally, the year three overseas immersion was also interesting experience I looked forward to.

I did my registration of course today, and with just a little admin to settle by post, I am prepared for school next month.

Oh, my Exciting life in np is starting ss early as this week as I've signed up for sports camp. Wednesday! Yay! Look forward to it. And hopefully I can join the db team. Haha..

There's also SU camp next week and humanities school camp on the week before school starts!

And oh ya! There's the Happy party on 4/4/09! Looking forward to see all u friends then! Yay!

:: to 宅 or not to 宅 ::

宅男.. I am becoming a 宅 kia la!
due to my leg pain (probably because of suppressed vein)
i hardly go out if not for work
and most of the time
i lay on my bed..
coz even sitting down is painful..
bleah!

and the kaypo in me decided to quit my job as an admin assistant (fulltime)
and then the next day accept the job as events coordinator (part time)
now let me make a comparison between the jobs..

admin assistant:
-full time pay (alot lo)
-average three day work week in office (each less than 5 hours)
-work from home the rest of the time on comp
-some nights on comp working on website admin stuffs..
-very easy job..
-climb stairway to heaven thrice weekly

-event coordinator:
-part time pay (1/2 to 2/3 of full time pay)
- work average three day in office ( less than 3 hours, in evenings..)
- noting to do at home, just some simple admin
-many nights at clubs!!! INCLUDING SUNDAY! bleah!
-i have to be out and show my face in the clubs.. bleah!
-i've to climb stairway to heaven to collect things/get a ride whenever there's event.. bleah!
-i get sick and tired of muscle marys sticking up to me with their naked bodies!!
bleah.. they are so bloody disgusting.. and giving them a condom does not mean i want you to fuck me! bleah!


luckily Play is temporarily closed..
the "new" job is quite relaxed actually
just tt i'm now really out in clubs almost every other night
really don't know what to tell my mum
working at a club? salah leh
then? hmm..

but the pay is quite okay
and i can still study and handle this job
(boss say i can stop handling superstar sundays when i start school)
and most impt.. the PAY!
i need money, alot..

one PLUS thing..
i now attend parties which W attends too!
in the past i shun the events because i'm just not such a social butterfly
now
i'm constrained by the job
so i get to eye him while i'm working and
the work practically entails me being friendly and partying..

whats there not to like of a job that is just partying?
the CROWD! i really have yet to feel totally comfy about it..
alright.. its just me!
its a dream job to some of my aj friends
but for me..
if not for the money..
bleah!

but next sunday's Superstar Sunday will be interesting..
haha
there's the contestants of Manhunt 2009..
and i've a ex-schoolmate who's in the competition la! so cool right..
do support him okay?
MH12.. Ryan Chong..

totally nv expect la..
but well.. he looks quite good la..
didn't realise back then..

W should have taken part back when he was younger lo
will have won..
but his youth was wasted on..
overseas studies / working in tt green company..
bleah!

well.. based on the fact tt i'm blogging at such wee hours..
yup.. because i just came home from work
and yup.. i'm back to my 宅 days until the next work day.. on wed.. hmm..

:: dear death ::

You are morbid. You are feared. You seem "dirty". You are oft visited when one thinks that there's no way out.

Today, I saw death in two distinctively different light. One in the case of a student who looked to death after a frustrating confrontation with his FYP prof, another in the case of this year's Academy Award Best Foreign Language Film.

The movie, Departures, was a poignant story of a man, who gave up his career after unsuccessful attempts, as a cello player in an orchestra, which was forced to close down. He went back to his old home in suburban Japan. He looked for a job in the classifieds section and came across one from NK Agent. It was a job to work with "departure". Thinking it was a travel agency job, he went to apply. In reality, it was a job dealing with the departed, in other words, it was a person who take care of a dead person, helping to prep a dead to get ready for entering the coffin, departing to another world.

The people around him, including his wife, played by 广末凉子, thought of it as a improper job, even leaving him saying he was dirty. But through ways, he proved to people it to be a noble job, respectable and something he is proud of.

An understory of him with his father was told, with his parents divorced and his father being a useless man who had extramarital affair. In the end, when he found out his father was dead, it took him a while, until he decided to visit him. With his wife, they drove to a little town and saw his fathers body. It was extremely touching seeing him looking at his fathers face and matching it to the face he has long forgotten since he last saw when he was a child. Unhappy with the way the undertaker took care of the body, he stepped in to do his job, and sent his own father on the final journey. Overall, it was touching, something that felt close to heart and not at all unfamiliar.

On the other hand, an Indonesian Chinese year 4 EEE student from NTU took his own life, slashing his wrist before jumping down a a EEE block. (yah, he jump from a basement level and died, proving the theory tt u can die in NTU even if u jump from a basement) but before tt, he stabbed his FYP professor several times at his office.

So was it a case whereby FYP professor was over demanding that the student could not tolerate. Or was it that he was simply too stressed. I would prefer to think that the prof played a part in this whole disaster. Mayb I'm biased, bit, I can't think of any reason a student would stab him. If too stressed he die himself can le ma.

Still, it's sad la. Why couldn't he just tolerate it for awhile more, project finish in a month or two, then he will grad le. So wasted. Sad la! Stress.. Who is not stressed?haiz ~

I fail so many times, also live on. Tsk. Don't set too high expectations la, be it the student or the prof..

Fun facts about NTU EEE accident:

-ntu south spine highest level is level two. At the EEE buildings, one is Level 1 to basement 5, the other got basement 7.. The two extentions (which I guess is where accident take place) got basement 1-5.. No levels abover ground, haha..

-some say FYP stands for Finish Your Professor. Cruel but funny.

-that guy who died was from hall 4. He was once my neighbour la... Dun noe him personally though.. Someone even said maybe hall 4 will hold the wake, rubbish la!

:: Wild Wild Wild ::

We spent our first anniversary up one mt emily, enjoying a splendid dinner at Wild Rocket. The ambience I must say, was great. I could not have imagined there to have a projector with our private photos screened on the walls the whole evening la. As there were other guests, the atmosphere felt salah at times.

We popped over to Wild Oats for a round if drinks before an unexpected thing happened. W really went on his knees to propose. I felt really warm n fuzzy deep down, but fortunately, my mind was calm. I've not officially replied but still.. Hope u understand, dearie. I believe we still have a long way to go and getting me to come to terms about us and my family n friends is still one big barrier we need to overcome. I promise, I will do that, soon.

Still, thank you for the wonderful night tt I will always remember, and I LOVE YOU. You know I will reply to that BIG question, I just need time first. And we do have the time... Love u always....

:: 1st anniversary ::

Today marks our first anniversary. Really special year indeed. And boy, did I grow and mature loads this past year. From being an innocent boy looking for a friend, till meeting this wonderful guy he previously only know as S3, till the development of a wonderful relationship, as a splendid love blossom. Never did I expect all these to have happened this time last year.

Willie is a man of character. Playful n childish at times, at others, he can be an executive, braving all storms. A thinker, a poet, a man of wise words. A sporty guy, who never fails to inspire the people around him to keep fit with him. A man who is proactive in leading people, who enjoys his networking, a man who knows how to entertain and party. He is a super all rounder.

And today, I'm proud to say he is a great boyfriend.

And he officially proposed today.

We are really in LOVE.

:: Heath Ledger ::

I am still crying. Touched. Seeing the Ledger family receiving the Oscar for this outstanding actor.

We see talent. But unfortunately, it is only in our memory.

Thank you Heath, for The Joker, and many more films you have created and left a legacy on.

:: 纯音乐享宴::

林宥嘉「迷宫」新加坡演唱会已经圆满举行。 眼唱会可说是一场音乐的非凡体验。 三个小时演唱会有足足四十五分钟的encore,整体上音乐曲目多元化, 有快有慢,有主打也有非主打,更有一些超冷门歌曲, 但首首都突显出yoga的度特唱腔和完美唱公。

郭富城的「对你爱不完」,陈亦讯的「谢谢」, 等yoga在「超级星光大道」上用来参赛的歌曲都得道很大的回向。

但是,本人对歌曲的扁排感到很奥恼。快与慢歌的交差都有点wrong。 但这样的无理头或许就是宥嘉的特点。如在一些感伤的怀旧歌曲后加上一首「叉烧包」, 抄热气奋只余也添了几份新鲜感。

特别嘉宾方面,本地的olivia 和女生天团S。H。E,更是让整场演唱会加分不少。

yoga的直摔天性,加上一点玩皮,配合他的特直嗓音,相信是这一切让他能单凭一张专辑,开个唱,还变成巡回。

太棒了!!

:: my funny valentine ::

I am going Singapore flyer again this Sat with Vincent. By the way, we spent v day as a couple together last year, also on Singapore flyer. Haha. He won a pair of tickets this time. Hope it's not awkward like last year.

:: iPhone * emojicon ::

If u do not already know, Japanese people have their own quotly ways of doing things, many of a time, reworking on wat the English produce and re-inventing them to perk it up.

One such thing is Emojicon, one grade above wat we have as emoticon, just much more interesting, some being simply 无理头。

It really is fun working with emojicons to add some fun n color to life.

However, iPhone has been slow moving in japan, mainly due to the lack of emojicon function or applications. The truth is, it exists, just that it is hidden or locked.

Until recently, when people studied it, created applications which seemingly have no link to emojicons, and using special secret codes on these applications, you will be able to unlock the emojicons function on the iPhone n it's keyboard function, and add life, vibrancy, and that tinge of Japanese into your life.

One such application to unbreak the emojicon is Number spell, supposedly used to translate numbers into monetary terms in words for cheque writing n related uses. But by simply keying the secret code 9876543.21, you will unbreak the application's Emojicon Easter Egg function and thereafter can use your emojicons.

Now, let me show u a few of my favourite emojicons which are fun!!



Yup. Be it happy, sad, love u, ok, omg, I'm angry, shit la, I'm sleepy, NO, jiayou, doggie, piggy, beach time, let's play mahjong, go swimming, listen to music, let's have coffee, going drinking, happy birthday, u driving?, and meet at ATM.. All can expressed in just a pic on SMS.

There are hundreds more fun emojicons to brighten up anyones day lo. Cool right??

:: thankful ::

I m thankful.

For friends in my life, although maybe not always by my side everyday, mayb we only meet once occasionally, but these are friends I really treasure.

Friends which sometimes we argue, have different opinions, or does actions which I really can't stand.

But to me, they are friends, who understands me, can hold conversations with, can pour my heart out, and talk without any restrictions. They are friends who really care about me as much as I care about them.

Thank you, my friends...

Happy Friendship Day / Valentines Day

I heart u all!!

:: SPORTSeason09 * national vertical marathon ::

1st sports challenge of the year completed.

60 storeys up Republic Plaza is no easy feat.

I feel great that I was able at least to complete it.

Great achievement. And seriously.. It takes tough mental strength to pull through!

(sidenote: met weichuen.. Never run together but shares lots of crap before n after..)

:: SPORTSeason09 * not a good start ::

I'm supposed to go for Safari Run at the Zoo tonight, but will instead be at Crowd Lu Guang Zhong's concert coz I won a pair of tickets.

On another note, National Vertical Marathon will be held tmr morning at Republic Plaza, but I sincerely doubts whether I will be there to attempt, one reason is because it's damn early (which isn't exactly a good reason since runs normally start rather early), while the other reason being my intensely severe backache. Yup. It's back (pun unintended) to haunt and daunt me, sitting down, standing up, lying down or even bending. It doesn't seem to be leaving anytime too soon..

What a bad start to the new sports season of runs and swims...

:: valentine09 * gonna be lonely ::

Maybe I should get use to it.

Or maybe I'm already used to it.

Will be spending Valentine's alone.

Even if it's our first valentine together...

Well, yup, work is more impt..

But.. Say of we DO get married this year..

Not even a valentines together as a dating couple...

Not really complaining actually..

Coz I've got rehearsals tt day, so will be spending the day (at least) with a group friends whom I "love"..

Haha..

To console myself: it's valentines everyday as long as love lives in your heart, and you know W will always be there for you.. Literally..

:: LNY09 * new teeth ::

On the ninth day of Lunar new year today, I got my teeth back. Muahaha.. Removed my braces today, and underwent a tedious and torturous process of scraping and cleaning my teeth.. Ouch! Bit finally, after 5 years, my braces are finally out!! Yay!! Straight pretty teeth again! Will need to put retainers though.. Will get it next Friday..

:: LNY09 * aging chestnuts ::

Was with chestnuts again in our annual LNY reunion.

Some questions just kept popping up in my head...

As much as I anticipate and look forward to the gatherings, however, the excitement of seeing these good friends very much fades when I do see them. Is it because we are too used to seeing each other, or are we getting bored and pointless. I really hope not. Probably it's just me.

Also, we celebrated zhiwei, dÂRiùS and hüiTÎNg's birthdays. The same old question arises, are we getting old with nothing accompolished??

Those were the days when garherings used to be fun, and planning each session was a joyous procedure. Since when has it been so routine, it ends up being a chore, troublesome.

The novelty at each session seems to b fading. Used to think of unique places to eat with interesting things to do after.

Nowadays, it seems we have visited everywhere, and end up settling for your run of the mill food places.

In fact, we can only hope that the meal is long wnough for us to be kept busy, and not having to worry about where to go next and what to do..

Has it all been lost?

I wonder....

:: LNY09 * lessons learnt ::

as we move into 3rd day of LNY
and all the celebratory mood seems to have faded off
miloboi feels nostalgic
and a little more carefree

I have nothing alse to look forward to in the near future
except postings this coming friday
which somehow depends my fate
i really hope that my new year wishes can come true
and i can do somthing i really really lurve!

other than that
it seems that i'm just wasting my days away

with new year somehow passed
i shall be waiting for the next gathering
my "belated birthday party"
hope to get busy with it soon
and relive the moments that i had
enjoy planning for my 21st 2 years back
it was a big celebratory
what's important was that i had all my cousins and friends with me
THAT felt good.

maybe its a fact that when we past the 21st birthday
we no longer feel excited about the age
(coz old le)
however
we treasure our health and wealth alot more
and definitely the people around us
friendship and kinship
loads of them!
i hope to spend precious time with everyone
seeing and talking to my true friends and relatives
just makes me feel happy!

with my backache working me out a whole lot this new year
and sitting/standing is equally pressurising on me
i feel really dreaded and old.
i need to take care of myself alot more..

will be visiting W's family tonight..
that is another looooooong story.. well well..

whatever it is,
i hope all friends will HUAT are for the remaining 12 days of LNY
and also happy and prosperous for the remaining of the Niu Year!

:: LNY09 * god of fortune talked to me ::


Was at the junction near fu lu shou complex when i met cai Shen ye which wished me good luck. He also gave me some words of advise. But on the whole, its a rather good year for me in terms of health and wealth, with probably good progress in career. But.. I'm not having a career now.. How huh.. Hmm.. Really have to start working? Well.. Anyway.. Huat ah.. Shall go play a little on 4D with the number he offered.. Pop by this place when u are free, and receive some good luck and words of advise from this auspicious figure.

*sorry that the picture is in wrong direction due to technical error.*

:: LNY09 * Reunion 210109 ::

had a reunion dinner at my aunt's place
mainly a gathering of the aunties and just three of my cousins
and my grandmother
who is really old
and despite me having due respect for her
i feel sad when the once active lady
has turned into a relatively immobile matriach figure.

what's more special
was meeting a cousin of mine
which i did not quite come into contact with in a loooong time
talked quite a bit with him
while he shared with me pictures he took on a recent vacation
on Facebook, no less.
i felt nice.
seriously
because it has never quite occured to me that i'll meet him anytime soon
but well
we bonded quite well during the one hour or so
he's really friendly
i feel guilty for being shy all these years
if not i would have had a great relationship with my cousins
on tt part
i am quite jealous whn i see my cousins or other people's cousins
being to amicable
enjoying fantastic relationships.

well
it was a nice time i had earlier.

on another note
i seriously look forward to the celebrations next week
like my birthday party
which is a celebration of friendship
the LNY days for me is the only opportunity for a celebration of kinship

and as a sideline to that
i've been treated quite well in the LNY celebratory with YES 933..
haha.. i won quite a few prizes through on air contests in the past two week
a good indication that the new year would be a positive and prosperous one!

Huat ah!

:: for an auspicious year ::


Don't travel unnecessarily, especially to earthquake prone areas. Thats quoted from the 8 days article, supposed advice from Master Jet Lee, a feng shui master. The year is earthly, so go for brighter colours, avoiding earth tones like yellow brown and red. Buy a house if you can afford. And Hang on tightly to your jobs. nose is one's wealth and health palace, treasure it. And the one part which makes me and W all excited: Get married! but only if you're a Tiger or Dragon! It's an auspicious year to tie the knot for tigers and dragons. For other rights, get married at your own risk. Erm.. Does unions count? Lol. Hope it really turns out good. I'm tiger and he's a dragon.. ;)

:: random notes.. ::

I have COMPLETE/LY my ippt/failed my ippt for this year..
so its bye bye to tt four letters till next year.. boo!

anyway
i'm really looking forward to LNY's arrival
its juz slightly more than a week away
i shall TRY to scrimp and save and not eat so much until Chu 1 arrives..
(or maybe until reunion dinner)

btw, i plan to not cut my hair this new year
i refuse to pay the extra $5 / 10% salons charge as "surcharge" for new year due to "peak period"
its just nonsense..
Zen (my stylist) will just have to wait a little longer till he next sees me..
instead
i bought a new fedora hat from topman.. so this year i'll for for a snazzy spring/summer look
for LNY..
on most days i'm out visiting,
it will be the same combination of clothes,
just tt the tee shirts (which are all of the same design n cutting)
are of different colours..
haha.. not much surprises.. well.. when one gets older
he doesn't really look forward to YET ANOTHER new year
coz it simply means age is catching up. right!

for now,
i've really been slacking for the past three weeks..
i did try to clean my room up a little each day
but its still in a mess overall
i promised not to go out so often and buy too many things
but i think my credit card have been wokring out extra hard..
and that's bad, coz when the bills arrive.. wahahaha!!

my options are still pretty open for further studies
actually.. VERY open
i can't make up my mind
and what i can say is,
friends.. i kinda noe you all care.
but please help me by not offering comments
i'm rather tired of justifying myself to you all
then after that feel a sense of guilt like my choice is wrong..
it feels bad.. and uncomfortable..
so.. well.. my mind is kinda made up to go for whatever poly course.
any degree/diploma is useful (never useless)
and what i'm more looking forward to is the experience i'll get at the institution.

well.. that's all for now.. will update more when new year arrives..
to show u all my newest update of my obscene collection of new clothes..
muahahaha!

:: too free ::

a million plans seems fixed to the back of my mind everyday
when i'm actually freaking free during most of the time in the day
until a certain hour when i have an event to attend/ rehearsal/ meet up..
i seem to be waiting
endlessly
for something to happen..
for now.. i'm just waiting for new year to come
before tt, i am a real slacker..
even my supposed full time job has such flexible working hours n workload
that i don't practically feel its existence..
i bet many people are envious,
but wait till i tell you the environment and the official working hours and weekend load..
well well..
i guess this world IS fair..
but for now..
i shall be the snappy self.. and complain about everything..
i have no plans actually..
because i don't see myself having passion for anyting I do now..
hopefully my application for a poly course gets through and i get a course i like..
even better if i qualify for work in THE ministry i've been wanting so badly..
if all fails.. i hope i'll b able to get a place in a course i like in SIM/MDIS/ACCA..
noting concrete.. just waiting..
not even sure for wat..
(man, i really feel like i'm Eeyore.. though not that pessimistic..)

:: sea of red ::


In an unbelievably auntie move for to soon to wed Miloboi here, tis year, i have started collecting red packets, the empty ones, from various banks and malls, shops and restaurants. Yup. Just in case i do need to give red packets anytime soon.. Btw, whats the market rate now for red packets given by a young 22 year old 'auntie' this year? Haha.. Want ang bao? 记得在新年期间向我拜年,谁知道,可能我已结了婚,开始大派红包了呢.

:: for active kids! ::


W got me this after hearing about it from T. And we are now happily using this after our swims, gym, and dragon boat trainings. Its really good coz it smells nice, is gentle on skin, and doesn't make us kids tear.. Haha.. Most importantly, it rids chlorine smells completely! The orangy scent makes us smell good after exercise and swims. Great! Perfect for active kids!

:: looking backwards and relishing ::

I am contemplative.

a million thoughts have been running across my mind every second since last monday.

i kinda know life odd to go on.

but a future awaits.

I take it as a time check, lifetime check.

Have I chosen the wrong paths at certain intersections in life?

I think so.

Looking back, and many "what ifs" surface.

Now, I shall make a decision (not exactly at this moment, but at this phase of life)

a decision that will make me HAPPY.

a decision that I can be proud of.

I am seriously considering going back to the O Levels teaching track which I once declined

hopefully they will consider and take me back...

and even to a poly to pursue my dream course (something to do with media)

or even to a private university/ professional cert course

and pursue an award which I have keen interest in.

If I can find a good and stable job, why not?

see

chances are everywhere actually

just that at different times

they appear different to you

sometimes not catching your attention

at other times, its just irrelevant.

I hope to just let it be

not let anything hinder my passion

as I choose the route to go..

(unlike what Darius thinks, to me, I hope, age is not a factor..)

I just hope to make up my mind soon

and sincerely hope all doors really open for me..

(keeps my fingers crossed,

i hope you, my friend, will pray hard for me too)

:: c-jade 明火白粥 ::


If you never tried the plain porridge before, its never too late. Its my favourite must have. $2 for a bowl of flavourful porridge, although plain looking, but within, it packs a punch. Its not overwhelmingly salty, but the hints of seasoning makes it irresistable. The most obvious being the smell and taste of dried scallop. Ooh! It taste great even on its own. Not just for the sick..

:: Big Christmas Holiday! ::

When (renowned astrologer) Susan Miller

said that it would be a great Christmas,

I had no idea it would be this big.



Merry Christmas to all my friends!

May your Christmas be as wonderful as mine!

:: retrospective ::

As yet another trouble filled year passes

we look at in reminisent of the better days we had

and praying for the year to come to be better

filled with more merry moments

and less disasters, natural or not.

But Isaac is basically a simple person

who doesn't hope for much

just that he can be happy without much worries.

I really enjoy giving

it doesn't make me feel like a saint

but i just like to prepare some love

and share with my friends.

After a collection of Absolutmilo sweets tubs and photo frames

Absolutmilo CDs and poetry books.

Absolutmilo chocolate shot glasses.

This Christmas,

friends whom i meet this week have been or will be greeted with the newest

Absolutmilo champagne class / red wine bubble.

The newest in the Absolutmilo collection.

As much as i'm looking forward to next year

when i'm going to be much older (21 seems just yesterday while 23 has slowly crept up)

i'm looking forward to a nicer custom made gift to share with friends

to let you always know

that I am by your side

accompanying you whenever you are down and out

or when you just feel flat.

I want to be all around you

to provide you warmth.

But troubles will be the only constant

thus we should face it when it comes.

feel blessed you have friends.

and they are the ones you need to cope with anything.

(just like as much as i don't subscribe to someone's idea of a union,

but i still pretty much want to share my happiness with all.

such dilemma..)

daren!~ drool!
haha..

(this is so super random, but... he is so shuai, and young and energetic and can sing so well.. muahahaha!!)

:: egotism ::

The Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty was a national hero for his success as both a statesman and military leader.

But despite his fame, power, and wealth, he considered himself a humble and devout Buddhist.

Often he visited his favorite Zen master to study under him, and they seemed to get along very well.

The fact that he was prime minister apparently had no effect on their relationship,

Which seemed to be simply one of a revered master and respectful student.

One day, during his usual visit, the Prime Minister asked the master,

"Your Reverence, what is egotism according to Buddhism?"

The master's face turned red, and in a very condescending and insulting tone of voice, he shot back,

"What kind of stupid question is that!?"

This unexpected response so shocked the Prime Minister that he became sullen and angry.

The Zen master then smiled and said,

"THIS, Your Excellency, is egotism."

没有人: 公主~ 我来救你了!
魔王: 妈的! 说曹操曹操就到!
曹操: 魔王! 你叫我干嘛?
魔王: 哇唠! 看到鬼!

:: Ip Man ::

At the cinema last evening, W pointed to the electronic display outside one of the halls and exclaimed that he wanted to watch that movie. T scratched his head and asked, “IP Man? What’s that show about? Some tech show? Tracking criminals through IP addresses?”

We looked at him in amusement. “It’s a Chinese show lah! Not Eye Pee Man. It’s Yip Mun.”

:: knowing ::


I love this man. For whatever there is to love. And knowing that we are on the way.. To paving a future. Hope you understand. If you don't, too bad. Maybe you aren't that close a friends. No more hints. I've decided to give the biggest hint le. Well, no. Its an expose. U don't get it? You are an idiot. You feel awry? Too bad. You are my friend? Then give us your blessings.

:: old flame . new love . future ::

we were packing out old stuffs
seeking for things to take out for sale at a charitable sale yesterday
when W came across a pair of alphabetical bears
with W and B on it.
as well as a bottle of origami stars
painstakingly jottled with love messages and then folded



wow..
that is so sweet and diabetic, ain't it

well
it belonged to a past relationship of his
a rather looong relationship
he told me, 6 years
and till now
after reading a few of the love messages
he feels each of them.

they shared a love which was unique
and let me to see a tender side of him
for a strong and grown muscular man
to have a love affair like that
is quite unbelievable.

it makes me cherish him more
and he to me too.
it is just memories, and will be
to be kept in an important place in his heart.

now, he says, he has me
and there's no need to be jealous.
for past can never mix with present
and i'm, but his future.

(i'm getting rather diabetic now..)

he told me yesterday too:
"I looked at these. I realised how much I loved B.
And how much I still love B."

he packed it up
and returned these to B at the club today when they met
and right after
in front of a group of friends
popped the question, once again, to me.

i felt it was right
and so, "yes"

it definitely wasn't the first time he was asking and we were discussing about it
a nice union to celebrate and commemorate our love
and i swear i wasn't on a sugar high/ sex pills/dead drunk
to finally agree to the idea (or proposal)
of the "wedding" or "marriage"

you see
due to the unconventional relationship we are having
the "normal terms" just don't quite apply to us
however
we are but two normal man
who are, really, in love.

the reasons are aplenty
but yes, we are going into it
hopefully
with predictable outcomes...
(though at this point, the happiness has just started sinking in, but no real concrete plans has been set, yet.)

we have been together for about 10 months now
not a really short period of time
but as compared to many more
it is not that long either
but he always say
its the love that's important
and age is not a factor
you might think its childish
and just some fantasy
but to me,
this wildest dream
IS taking shape.

i would prefer just a simple ceremony
but he has differing views
not too elaborate
but not too simple too
he is a man with stature
and adored/fantasized by many
to him, it is an announcement
he's taken, keep out!
while to me, its just a nice sweet way of him promising me
to be there...

i want just a ceremony
he wants a dinner
at a nice friend's place for me
at a church, then a club, for him
just a few common friends for me
all our friends and families must be informed, for him
a quiet affair for me
a lifetime effort no less from him.

we have differing viewpoints on matters in life
but we share a special chemistry
which just churns out much more sparkles each day
probably that's what you will label as
love.

:: (not so civil) union ::

strangely enough
i'm now using a lappy
while attending a union ceremony of one of our best friends
really nice..
its specially planned to be held late at night here at Play
and only invited guests are sitted around.
a nice buffet spread of fine wines and cheese nibbles awaits at the counter
and we are still waiting for the grooms to appear
in a few minutes
they had specially selected today as tmr (17/12)
was when they first met 3 years ago and got attached..
how sweet right. even if its not a weekend (its onli the start of the week)
all their friends have made it a point to come and celebrate
although its just a union in name
and does not specifically have any significance in name of law
but its just really nice
because there are many people who don't believe in gay couples being together
and even those who are together, do not believe in unions.
but i tink a union is a promise to each other
a simple party (or not) is a way of telling and sharing with your friends
your joy and happiness
and also having them share with you their blessings and believes in the couple.
contrary to wat J thinks that its just another gay wild party
i tink it has much more than it appears to mean
and i feel blessed to see two of my friends
who have dared to step out
be themselves
and share their lives with one another
and telling people around them.
more importantly
their families and friends are here to witness this event
which makes me think
they are really courageous to come out to their parents.
tonight
i wish tony and branden happiness always
and may we always share the love you two have for one another
and more importantly
may your love go on forever...
will i ever have such a day?
i really dare not even think about it.
*by the way, the black tie event has close to 100 guests, and has a theme, sexy sensual silver,
that is like sooooo Branden lo.. *
waiting for the ceremony to start..

:: day at museum - Zhang huan ::


Yet another installation at Voom portraits. The butterflies on his face and body are real and moving.

:: day at museum - moving chandeliers ::


The chandeliers are moving in like pendulums. Quite a sight to behold. Very interesting and pretty as well. I visited the National Museum yesterday, since i think i shud not waste my holidays slacking at home. Went to view 2 exhibitions which was temporary, Voom portraits and Doubleness. Voom portraits are a collection of life videos which if you never notice would be a portrait, but the are live movements and with the music accompaniments, tells of individual stories. Captivating. While doubleness is a collection of photographs and videos by chang chien chi, a taiwanese photog. Three thematic collections can be found, one about asian men going to vietnam for brokered marriages, another about the mental patients chained together at a healing centre in taiwan called Long Fa Tang. A third about a chinese men who go to new york illegally to work and are separated from their loved ones. Touching, moving, each with a unique story to tell. Each picture really tells a thousand words. I would definitely go back to the museum soon to explore more. Any one keen to join me in my next trip?

:: day at museum - a part of 百家姓 ::


One small segment of the hundreds of surnames of chinese. Some we often come across, some relatively unheard of. A fragment of them are double word surnames. Really interesting. Especially in tis age and time when we no longer put emphasis about our ancestral roots.

:: day at museum - Brad Pitt ::


A moving portrait. Literally. Captivating. The rain, the gun, the bare chested brad. Drool...

很辣, 但不适合我味口. Not my favourite la mian, really.the chicken comes with bones intact. Eee.. And its kinda like mee pok dry.. Haha. Quite authentic, but not my choice..

This tower is made by chocolate. Dark chocolate. Real edible chocolate. What a waste of chocolate..

:: after my first marathon ::


42.195.. Running a distance like that, the final few markers of 50m don't matter. You only get the runners high of completing a well ran run. Its the finish that i'm concerned. I did it.

:: when blogging can't serve its purpose ::

i initially intended to just rant on this blog
views that i have and am closely related to about a club which i am in
but after many thoughts
i tink i shall not
since there may be people reading this and i don't want to hurt their feelings
then i'm tinking of my LJ
since its a more private (to me) avenue to express
but yet i also know there ARE people who might also be reading tt and get hurt indirectly
so this comes to the point
whether blogs are just a way to let out your frustrations?
or to show your love and make it look like a beautiful movie
if its a form of expression
when am I having such reserves
well..
its kind of hard when such a thing occurs
but this being my diary i really want to just say it out without any biasness
and not tt i'm supporting such a stand simply due to the fact tt my opportunities have been taken away
for i do not care about tt at all..
the drama club which i am currently involved in
i feel
is just another act of being too under controlled by higher authorities
not tt it is a bad thing
just that i personally feel
there are some people who are a little daunting in such a sense
and makes it feel very stuffy to work in suddenly
recent turn in events
have made me feel tt it is not ready to open up
i am not a vocal person and will not voice it out directly
thus using blogs as a way to express my thoughts
i understand the higher authority is providing with substantial support and monetary supplies
but however,
the club is currently a school club
and like other clubs
should be run solely by the students itself
and thus should have be given the confidence to do so
however
there seems to be a high level of relience
or is it a high level of protection from the authorities
that makes it rather stiffling...
i mean..
not tt i've been tt experienced to be speaking
just sharing my views..
if you want to open a club
and says right from the start tt you welcome people from all walks of life
and is branded by a student club
i believe that that should be it.
currently
there is a sense of great respect for the "descendants" to the higher authorities
and there feels like it is run under full control of them as well.
it feels closed
like its set up to be a sub group of the "party"
and not tt ready to be welcoming the others..
there has been many such incidents in the past few months tt i've seen
and i've encountered rather bad experiences, probably unknown to many.
i mean..
have confidence
set up and let it run
if you want to constraint it in this way'
you will only be scaring people off.
its good to set a vision and standard
and yes, probably you should have some control
but from what i see
the bond between you all are too close
and its really hurtful to see it going in such a way
some kinda dictatorship way.
maybe its time to grow up
really
because trying is good
but over controlling
will only have its adverse effects
if you want things completely run your way..
then keep it within yourselves
shouldn't have bothered to open up.
