Robinson is holding its annual sale as a giveback to members and how can my mommy give this golden opportunity a miss? I tagged along and in turn skipped work (woops!!).

WTF face. ><
Mommy shopping for crocs in the background. I got a CROCS Silver Cloud for Daddy- it's his birthday tomorrow on Labour Day!

Bye all!

We were as one babe for a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
'Cause I know in my heart
Our love will never die

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl, don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way, you're never gonna shake me
Oh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby

I ain't gonna cry, no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably, you'll be back again
'Cause you know in your heart babe
Our love will never end

I know that you'll be back girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder
Oh I know that you'll be right back
Oh baby believe me it's only a matter of time

I must apologise for the impromptu hiatus employed over the week; work load in office has been escalating to new high and let's just say I have been pretty much preoccupied with a series of littliest mundane stuffs. These few days of incidental void should necessitate an update on what I have been through.

I'm picking up my nihongo from chapter one all over again! How pathetic. As remorseful as I should be feeling now, I can't really help it because I have been neglecting my revision towards the later stage until everything becomes so rusty liao. Sianzzzzz.

Damn. I am late for shopping! Meeting Zee and Andrew at 1pm and it's already 12:15pm.

But before I go, please do justice to your ears and grab David Cook's rendition of Always Be My Baby! I've been looping that song over and over again on Ipod- a must-sing to your special other half I say! And Mariah can go wash my toilet bowl after listening to something ten times more soulful to her number.

Got to zhaooooo!

As kindly pointed out a friend that readers don't really quite enjoy heavy chunks of text on blog, so I figured if you really want to read you can head down to libraries or ebook sources. Anyways, photos tell their story and here you go, the adventurous duo Eddie and Jo at the National Museum of Singapore! And Jo, you were late!
The few iconic architecture greats we have to offer in this little small country. I think the subtle intention of androgyny is rather expressed weak having David draped in fabric, but a very grand and apt centrepiece in the Rotunda Dome still.
Remarkable insides of the dome at its splendid grandeur.
Jo looking great in striped polo and a professional camera hung on neck. (heh, lousy captions) And by the way, that neat mint green Creative MP3-lookalike thing is not a personal item I assure you, it's an interactive tour guide that gives audio and text introductions to all the artifacts and exhibits at the museum. State of the art I'd say.
I just found the "Shingaporu" font and how it sinks neatly towards the little island very seductive. New specs make Eddie a better person. Agreed.
男人认真的时候是最帅的。
=S


More camwhoring which I think you may find distasteful but I really couldn't give a damn. And I think this looks like an ad shot, not?
(caption: we all need some perspective) Notice how I deliberately tilt the photo to go portrait when it's obviously meant to be landscape.
Neat!
Me facing the music.
This one was taken at Nihonmura!
This is absolutely disastrous, but I don't really think anywhere else can beat the price of 99cents per dish Nihonmura can offer so the mess is dignified and fully substantiated.
That's all I have for you folks.

Twenty months go a long way and they were all well spent. =)

Reuben's finally back with us in spirit and soul after infinite days of exams (man, what is tertiary education doing to kids these days?) and we managed to catch up over dinner at Waraku Pasta. Still dissatisfied over the disproportionate food-to-customer servings just now but my wallet should still be thankful for my utmost considerate decision against going Mongolian style for dinner - something which could have escalated the bill to who knows what.

Benben, please eat more before UNICEF mistakes you for an impoverished child from third world country.

I think today's schedule was aptly planned and of great meaning because most of the agenda were met. I can imagine myself living the next few meaningful decades meeting up best friends for tea every weekends already, but instead of the u/m ideal, today was equally good - maybe better!

1. A long-talked-about-but-never-fully-realised-until-today trip to the National Museum! My first after the renovation and I promise good photos taken (as always).

2. Deservingly best lunch of month with Abel, Joseph and self at Nihonmura! Gorged down plates and plates of sushi until I made myself grow a visible tummy. ><>late dinner with Reuben but was so worth the cause whenever I am meeting very missed friends.

I will process the photos tomorrow asap, but as of now I think I need to compensate the lack of sleep accumulated over the past few days. Night all.

Last night I dreamt of my cousins Michelle and Nicholas coming over to my place for stayover and they both did a magic trick together. And before I realised it, they vanished in a puff of smoke. Okay so maybe a bit dramatic for an ending but so much for longing and reminiscing.

Situation calls for a revolution in office.

And it has been by far the most distressing day at work today sweeping countless newbies' logs.


...the agony - of having to be put through correcting their mistakes painstakingly when I seriously think they should be in our shoes.

Pen on paper.

One by one.

I wished I could have stabbed her with my ink dripping pen but I swear the meek apologetic look in her eyes was equally lethal.

Dies.

I really want to go shopping soon but the thought of going Bangkok shopping is overly restraining. How??!!

Have been looping Marie Digby and KT Kunstall on Ipod too many times for the past two days, but it's too good yet until I get my hands on E=MC2.

Night, all.

Tammy Yammy's 21st Birthday Bash @ One Rochester
Theme: "Stripes and Prints"

I can see us growing old together down the many many nanny years to come.
...just don't forget to call.

En is growing to become a sultry fashion doll. And no you won't be a spinster, you'll be blissfully married before birthday nears and have 10 wonderful kids...With love.
Zee the rightful gamemaster of the night in his fashionably undignified manner.

You will always be pretty in my eyes.
I think the word "love" says it all. The cake couldn't be anymore perfect. Tammy you are really blessed with wonderful parents, but I don't think I will ever trade mine for anyone's else because my mommy and daddy are d' best!

I swear I thought I saw Amy Winehouse in the background! And Zee, you really look like a sun-dried raisin here...and that is a semi-compliment statement I swear.

(hearts.)

Happy birthday gurl in advance! And to think "Ice Queen" slipped my mind after all these years...
Cheers to many longgg years ahead of us guys. And I'm sure I will see you all soon, really soon.

You know I love you when I say I do.

Yesssss! The most anticipated "best-est" (I'd twist my English if I have to to express the rapturous ecstasy I am going through now) thing that has happened this season! My Iphone has finally came in; kudos to my uncle who flew the thing all the way from the states and who managed singlehandedly the technical barriers that I could not have possibly overcome alone. It's an amazing gadget and you'll have to try it yourself to love the wonders of what Apple has to provide. Ten gazillion times better than ITouch and Ipod combined!

And what do you know. EKEF is into its 700th entry and is growing strong, if one day Blogspot decides to terminate service I think I will go nuts.


It's been a really tough day, I stress really. To start with, my car died on me today (of all days for christ's sake!) when I have to pick my parents from airport later midnight. Resultingly the cause for being late for tuition and I have been unfashionably a terrible tutor lately because my student isn't really benefitting from my lessons. We either get carried away eating during lessons or we talk about the most random stuffs (e.g. school pranks, his dog, clothes, his basketball tournaments...the list is entirely nonexhaustive I assure you). Am feeling quite ashamed for I have stained the reputation of all committed studious tutors out there.

WHY THE FUCKING HELL did Farhan delete the photos I asked him to take?!?!?! Bewildered. The first and only photo taken by my iPhone (considering the rest being rid off)... (see below) okay this was taken at familiar The Prata Shop with Farhan, Fye and Zhi Wei.

Night all. It's back to work tomorrow!

The photos should have been together with this entry. But I don't want to have new photos being matted under older entries that you won't revisit.



Anyways, thank you Woon for the wonderful photos taken with your camera. And o how I miss my camera, it's probably on plane now with Daddy and Mommy on the way back to Singapore!

And the story goes, of two best friends who have known each other for more than 10 years gets embroiled in a critical argument one day and A finally confronts to B about the great sense of injustice he is facing and that B means a lot to him as a close friend. B yadda-yaddas some very pleasantly touching stuffs and a brotherly hug reassures their inseparable friendship...

I couldn't be more maligned to the point I am out of words.

Well it is true that I, more than often not, tend to dramatise life out of proportion. I used to stand up to things and people for what I thought was representative and morally becoming; to fight for what was I used to call genuine and true. But it seems that as I grow older, the values that were once passionately embraced have become so blurred and inconsistent. Things become shades of grey.

We grow weary and lose faith. Hope becomes the least of concern.

And we become complacent with reality; we say we need to look at the big picture and think practical. We settle for a safer alternative and go with the mainstream. No. No one really dares to advocate, not to say even accomplish, bigger things like dreams, freedom and love these days. Because it's perfectly "okay" to stay balanced on the scale and not take absolute sides.

But this is really not the highlight of my entire case. And maybe my argument to defend for the cause is totally subdued by my incoherence to the matter because I am getting a little lost here.

Allow me to deviate.

No one really treats friendship in the most genuine and sincere way I can possibly imagine. Scoff at me for a pathetic loathsome chap who probably is in deficit of a healthy social circle and am making a big hooha out of nothingness, but you probably don't have much of a clue about true friendship so as to be deserving of fingerpointing anyways. I really don't think teenagers of my age can fully appreciate friendship and just want to engage in casual friendship making. And once in awhile, if the chance comes by, we just find a social acquaintance whom we can click well with and decide to call him/her our good friend. yes I accord you can be close, but you can never be best nor dear. Pardon the cutesy expressions, but I always believe that one should should never be too apprehensive with our generosity when it comes to expressing how we feel about someone/something. (hmm ironic statement giveaway) Having said, most of us skim the subject of friendship upon approach, we never really want to move a step further beyond apart from the debt of occasional favours we owe one another -and that I hate a lot. Or maybe it's plainly a guy's thing in the modern era, not wanting to be too expressive towards our friends because it's considerably gay or girly for either parties. So it's really quite taboo to tell your best buddy that you miss him/her a lot or that he/she means a lot to you as a friend. Of course I have seen the other extreme whereby such words are used often too loosely and the meaning isn't really there.

And so it goes. My lousy attempt that day when I tried to confront a BFF on how the lack of attention and emphasis on me lately has evidently had a dramatic effect on me and that I am not deserving of these. That incidence probably spurred some unintended misunderstandings but I am not quite sure even until now whether I should be guilty of any crime. But it hasn't been a one off affair thing though, still....my upfront confrontations have been put down by Jo as an incorrect approach of "correcting" friendship.

I know there is too much at stake if I were to really dish out my issues with you openly, which is why I never could. Not because I lack of the courage to, but because you mean too much to me and also so unlike the dramatic outcome of my two protagonists reconciling as as best friends (as mentioned earlier), nothing quite like that can ever take place in actual life. So I settle for less.

Or maybe you never meant that much for me to fight for you, really.

Or maybe I'm just lost and beaten.

The white flag's raised.

Take your well-deserved prize, if any.
