sweeties last sat n phuket next sat

sunday again! seriously..do time have to pass so fast!

usual sunday..bit of work n then muay thai.. though the weather was horrendous for any exercise.. most of us were panting like mad after only a little workout. the air was bad.. hazy..humid.. totally not good for the lungs..
my run was tough. barely could breathe. skipping was even more pathetic. boxing was... hmm. just punching out frustrations. haa.
yesterday was a sweet day.. only regret was forgetting to take any photos at all!
had insurance class.. learnt some stuff that i wanna put to use.. went for dinner with parents.. at our usual place @ bugis.. yummy tang hoon,fried rice n BITTERGOURD SOUP! *slurp*

window shopping @ Mustafa.. (i was shocked to find out that many friends haven been there before! *gasps* haa. i think my family's one of the few non-Indians who frequent Little India for 'fun'...)

saturday night was great.. a group of my treasured 'old' friends came over for "CNY"... bit late ..hee. but better late than never~ still got ang pow can!
been a long time since i caught up with them cos of work...it was really nice to see all of them though. always remind me of my 'innocent' fun teenagehood. theyve been one of the nicest part of those times.. n definitely thankful they stuck by me tru the bad times..
the amusing part is how my mum was almost as excited as me... (she's always asking bout them u see.. ) esp when she intro her prized possession spa to them.. most of the sweeties tried the spa thingy though. hee. quite a funny sight..i should have taken pics. damn. *evil smile*

oo.can't wait for this week to be over.. PHUKET here i come! sawadeee kaaaaaaaa.... chan ki teng thailand (I miss thailand...) ! =) too bad bro ain't coming along...(will be waiting for our 'backpack' trip when u ORD ya)

guys n g-strings

oh man. i can't believe it. the weekend's over! urgh.

saturday was quite a typical "packed". started early with work..then workshop..then finally got to RnR a little in the evening. met up with mum for shopping n dinner.. din get to buy anything though.
dinner was at our usual veg place @ fortune centre. forgot to take pics of the yummy fried tung hoon.. n my favooooourite bittergourd soup.. yea baby. bittergourd's my family fav soup choice since the day we were a family. haa. i know lotsa pp hate it.. i think people who appreciate it are pretty cool peepz. =) i like guys who eat bittergourd.. in case u think they dun exist..my bro's the one. =)

after dinner, me n mum decided to go "squeeze" n join in the fun @ the Chingay parade.. gosh u shd have seen our reaction at the first chingay sight that greeted us.
a bunch of guys in "G-strings" lookalike 'costume' (apparently it was the japanese one...) seriously...they were wearing nothing but this little stuff. haa. honestly we werent expecting that..so we were giggling like little girls nonstop. the ah peks around us seemed amused by our reaction.. come to think of it..i guess they were jealous at the young guys' smooth non-saggy butts. haa. tried to take a pic to show my dad..but my phone cant zoom lo. damn.

nothing much following that.. cos there were LOADS of people trying to watch the parade.. we only manage to squeeze some glimpses of it.. caught the floats "crossing" the junction. got bored after an hour plus, so we went home le.

today was usual..some appmts.. muay thai.. a much-missed "feel good" sunday after muay thai.
nothing beats that feeling. =)
new week's starting.. back to work.

happy valentine's day..hugz.

yOz peepz.. Happy Valentine's Day~ =)
for those in love.. it's a "BIG" day.. with the girls wondering and guessing in excitement what their beloved had planned... and the guys having a big headache.. haa.

for those not in a relationship.. it's a fun day.. laughing at the couples doing silly things for the sake of the day... n burning a big hole in the pockets. hee. and im so glad i belong to the 2nd group.. haa. yea.. some think singles r pathetic cos they aint "wanted".. n 'unloved'.
hmm.. i think otherwise.. im pretty glad i dun need to cry over somebody elses' problems.. being happy or sad is all up to me...not someone else.. im really loved by people i treasure.. (which probably would be my parents..n brother? ) it's the best thing i can get. =)

i remember the days when i used to be "attached"... most of the time... it was hard not to feel affected when the other was making things tough. it's hard to feel happy when the other was having a bad day. u spend so much time trying to please the other.. without knowing what u exactly want. that's sad.
but of course, there are times.. (actually i think only for specific someone..) that make u smile even when i think of it now.. silly things we did .. the world seemed wonderful all the time. nothing was too tough to bear. well..that's "love" i guess.. the power of that. come to think of it now.. i wonder what love is exactly... where do u draw the line between love.. infatuation.. obsession.

when someone u love make a mistake.. u forgive them.. but how many times will you forgive until u "had enough".. and what mistakes will you never forgive them for...
they say love is unconditional.. that would be definitely true of parents' love.. they are amazing people. they always want the best for their children, always willing to sacrifice for their kids' safety n happiness. aint it amazing? would u do that for someone else?

hmm.. how do u know u love someone? to me..it's a big word. it's been a long time since i feel the "i wanna be with ... " or the high of being in love.. yet to meet the someone who gives me the "right" feeling... it's hard to explain how it feels like.. but it's not the "love" where u feel patronised.. not the "love" where u feel misunderstood... not the "love" where u feel that the person is always comparing u with others ..or always wanting u to change.. not the "love" where u feel that it's only gonna last a moment.. not the kind where u know it's gonna go to some other prettier babes anytime.. nope. call me old fashion..but i think love is something sacred. something pure n something lasting. something that makes u feel like the luckiest person on earth. not cursed. =)

happy valentine's day peepz..
with lotsa metta.

gong xi fa cai...

Happy Chinese New Year to all my "cheena" friends.. haa. Xing Nian Kuai Le.. my eve was kinda cool this year.. me n bro got to washing my dad's car.. antique car seriously...it's like the first model for the Mitsubishi Lancer lo.. u wun believe it's still working. haa. decided to save my dad 25 bucks sending it to the car wash.. first time washing it. haa. quite fun though.


then...steamboat for reunion.. usual usual ... mine was lotsa mushrooms ..n veggies n tofu etc.. come to think of it.. my maintenance quite low hor..no need abalone..no need clam.. no need shark's fin.. basically..just not anything that has a mummy.
after dinner.. we went chinatown to "squeeze"... so crowded lo.. (duh. like how surprising..) watch fireworks ( not very impressive..) paid a visit to the "dua pei gong" temple @ loyang.. super crowded... was having such a bad headache..din stay long.









today was well...a kinda typical chu 1.
visit grandma..get ang paos..talk to relatives i hardly see.. (we used to meet a lot more years ago...miss the days) had lunch .. visit more relatives...
oh yea.. played the Wii @ aunt's place.. a Nintendo product.. u sorta "play sports" without much movement..tru censors etc. we tried tennis..boxing.. so funny lo..honestly.. i rather play the real sport anytime! u dun get the adrenaline rush frm Wii.. not shiok lo.

hm..think im eating too much lately..can't fit into some of my clothes anymore.. sobs. n im having a real bad sorethroat.. all after that day i ate 3 containers of CNY tarts. urgh. bad move but it was just too tempting! (thank god CNY 's only once a year). thanks to that..i can hardly swallow anything without feeling pain. (advice to all... please drink more water... dun end up like me. urgh)
3 more days of rest b4 work again.. i really must treasure it..
