Zoommm....

Met 3 of my outward bound indonesia friends for dinner. How time flies, June 2007 will mark 10 years as friends. One of them has already gone through ROM.

Catching up with them is always no frills. No need long hours, just dinner and drinks. We find out how each of us is doing, who is the the current girlfriends. Somehow the conversation has become more matured. We talk about cars, investments, insurance, car, house, marriage etc.

How do you know they are really your friends? You can meet them annually and still chat freely. I don't warm up easily to people, but for me, it is the quality that counts.

Anyway, congrats BH.

Results and Price

Finally the results are out. I decided to really put in effort into this semester and hopefully I can pull my grades up!

I am pretty satisfied with my results. But some modules I really expected to do well, but the results were below my expectations. The rest averaged at A-, which is good enough I guess. Sometimes I really wish I was smarter, the amount of time spent and the results just does not translate well.

As I look back at what had happened over the last semester and especially over the last month, I wonder if the price to pay for this semester results is too much. What is gone cannot be quatified and circumstances changed how much I valued it. Maybe my view of what happened is wrong. Maybe, maybe not. But that is a lot of maybes for me.

You win some, you lose some.

Random thoughts

I have been occupying myself with meeting up my old friends. Especially those I meet once a blue moon. It is good to keep my mind somewhere else. Met up with someone whom I last saw 2-3 years back. But I am glad we can still talk freely. I have many other meetups line up for the next few days. Hopefully I can finish all of them before the term starts.

Was suppose to go Sentosa to play freesbie but the weather was not in our favour. Last minute change of plans to go Mind cafe. My first time there and I must say it is very interesting. They have the weirdest board games which I never hear before. Had great fun and got to know some new people.

Went to the Cage for soccer with my tennis friends. It was a tiring session, worst then tennis. Then we went to play counter strike. We had a BBQ at night with the girls team. Eye opening to see the girls setup the fire and also cooking for the entire night. Weird change of roles.

Fyp is not going too well! Very slow. Stuck at the algorithm. ARGH!!!

Decided to play some Inter Hall Games after some change of personal plans. But still can't commit to trainings. It is unfair to the guys, but if they need me then I will play for the hall. This is my last year afterall.

The weather sucks. I have not touch the tennis racket for a long time. Sigh.

My head is moving in many directions.

My favourite X'mas Songs....

These songs never fails to bring the Christmas mood to me no matter how un-christmas I feel. Enjoy

Christmas

Christmas at my house is always the same. We will have dinner and the usual exchanging of presents. When we were much much much younger, my aunties will have games for us to play. We have musical chair, treasure hunts, pinning the tail on the donkey etc. As we are all much older, such games don't really amuse us anymore. We are left with, checking out pictures on the computer, surfing the internet etc.

This year we had Jenga and Taboo. The fun of this game is when u play with the aunties. The old folks never fails to crack us up with their weird antics. Like in Taboo, they will use hokkien and actions to describe the words.

Of course what is Christmas without the presents under the Christmas Tree right?
Did you spot anything funny? Yes....the Christmas tree is......... I don't even know what that is.
The little ones were entertaining everyone and keeping us very busy.


Ana is trying to sweep the floor.

Ana loves grapes. But of couse we try not to give her too much of it. That sneaky girl resorted to feeding her uncle one grape and eating one herself, and she did it again and again till I had to take the grapes away. This year dinner was more or less bought. They only cooked the curry, salad. The food is pretty good. Love the crabs.

The aftermath.....
And this year the aunties also got lazy and resorted to using paper plates and cups. To be environmentally friendly, we had to name our cups.
There are 2 birthday babies during the Xmas period. One is before and the other is after Xmas. (Note: the one blowing the candles is not the birthday girl)We have our annual guess the number of presents game. This year the number inflated by alot, I have no idea why. The number of presents is abt 170plus. My aunties love to wrap little presents just in case of I don't know what. I am still wondering how the number got so high, the average is about 120. Below is the counting of presents. My sister is the auditor.


This is the process of giving out the presents. It is always a messy event because my aunties will forget which present is for who. They refuse to put the names on the presents and choose to have some weird numbering system which never works. The history behind this is because last time my cousins and I will go unwrap our gifts before christmas arrives. But we are like in our 20s already!?!?!? Below you can see Ana trying to help, or rather just taking any present in sight and decid


Some random pictures.....

Christmas Eve

It has been a long time I meet the following 2 of my old pals. School and personal life had taken a hold on our individual lifes. And also last time I have easy acess to the car, so we can meet like really late. Now I only have my 2 legs.


Went church with my family. My youngest niece, Danesia drooled over my sleeve and it was all wet. Apparently she loves to do that.



Ana is growing up so fast. She can form baby sentences and it is really interesting to see how sharp she has become.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all

From now on....

What is not said

Suspected.
Found out.
Disappointed.

It was already not there

Sleep not

I used to be able to sleep easily. These few days it takes me on average 1 hour to get myself to sleep. It is really a frustrating feeling.

The worst part is, I wake up early even when I do not need to.

My mind is driving me crazy.

Never

It never hurt so much.

And it just keeps getting "better"

I woke up early, it is a freaking miracle!

Decided to go over the NTU lab to do some work. Since it was so early, I went to a leisure breakfast and coffee before I went up to the lab. There was no once since it is 8am. I on my computer and keyed in the password.

"Wrong password"

FUCK! I only have about 10 different combinations I use, so I tried the various choices and permutate them. But it kept telling me NO ENTRY!

My luck is just getting worst.

FUCK!

Shitty day

Sim card died on me, new sim card in hall, I'm in NUS, got to meet my friend later, have not planned the meeting time and place, got to go back to NTU to get it

Insert new sim card, try to change sim card lock, got lock out, had trouble calling into singtel

Walk out to pass my friend something and decide to leave to meet my friends after that. Forgot wallet, walk back to hall to get it


Pissed

Rugby

Why do people play sports like rugby? Sports which the very nature and core of the game is to bring down the opponent in a manner which hurts.

For me, it makes me feel awake. The impact you made when you tackle. The pain you feel when getting tackled. The period where you are running and trying to dodge. It gives a moment where nothing else matters. It pumps the adrenaline. It makes me feel more alive.

Wine overdoes

I found a bottle of old wine. The cork was disintegrating. Oh no....I got to save the wine.

So I drank it - all. It's tough being a superhero.

Exams Over...but

I was looking forward to exams being over. So happy to get out of school, to see the world.

Now I wish I have exams. Feeling so lost. I need something to numb me and keep my head occupied.

It has been a long time

When was the last time I drank so much, so much that I had a hardtime thinking striaght and getting home. I think it was my 21st birthday, but I passed out then. This time I manage to get myself home, showered and slept.

Dammn it, I hate hangovers.

I detest

Fuck...

I hate Coffee Club.

Like a stock

Happy

Hope

Sad

Anger

Worried

Stress

Relieve

Disappointment

Envy

Lost

Denial

Descend

It's over.

I can finally leave NTU and no longer feel the weight of trying to pull my pathetic grades up. I really hope my "efforts" the semester will show, at least show me the 2nd lower.


It's starting again.

Relax but my mind is on FYP. Another major contributor to my grades. Let's hope I can come up with some smoke and some stuff that will give me the grades.

I love the News

Little things that makes me smile

Was and still am in hall 99% of the time due to the exams. Some stuff which brings a smile to my face when I am in the lonely battle:

1. Using a new toothbrush after months of using one with bent bristles
2. Walking on a clean room floor
3. Sleeping on new bedsheets
4. Coming out from the showers
5. Eating a spoonful of Peanut Butter

Worst

Every exam period since I entered uni, I seem to be hit with some problem(s)

This have got to be one of the worst exam period

Check the lyrics

Recently I got a few songs from a friend. Wanted to hear if the new album was good (So can buy if I like the songs).

The band Hinder, album Extreme Behaviour - was pretty good. I really like the song "Lips of an Angel", so I went to introduce the song to a guy who I know will love it.

He listened to it and loved (Obviously...since I introduce it) He immediately sent the song to his girlfriend.

GuyX: the song nice eh
GF: Wait ah, let me listen
GF: What are you trying to imply?!
GuyX: HUH???
GF: You wan to break up ah?
---------------------------------
GuyX to me: IDIOT!!! The song is abt having an affair! I let my gf hear and she thinks I'm trying to tell her its over.

I hate the cold

Caught the cold...dammn it! It has to be near the exams! I am rendered pretty useless for the next 2 days, like a baby - eat sleep!

It is only an OS

I am sick of all these Operating System arguments. Especially the Linux/BSD/Unix Geeks and who can forget the Apple supremacists. Of couse the mindless dumb Windows who keeps using it even where there are tons of virus etc.

It is only a freaking OS. It is your choice.

Have a look at the following 6 videos, it really tickled me like crazy. If you are geeky enough, you will laugh at the jokes (be it outright or subtle). If you are not geeky (like Apple crasher Germ)...just try watching it.

Vivo

The moutain tortise aka me decided to leave the sanctuary - Hall 15.

I had to meet my family for lunch as my rarely seen dad is back in town. We had a filling and sumptious dim sum lunch at Yan Ge (Chinatown). After that, we were lucky enough that he had no plans. So they decided to bring him to Vivo city to have a look at the latest shopping mall. Since I seldom spend time with my dad, I decided to forget abt revision for a few hours. (Actually, it is because I have not been to Vivo City too)

On the way to Vivo, i FINALLY heard Anastasia call me "Uncle". Though the pronouciation is alittle off, but it was fine. At least she recongnises me.

Danesia is growing really fast. Loves to eat her hand. A little fussy about the way she likes to be carried. And her hair is literally always standing up, no gel required.

Vivo City is HUGE. I think half of Singapore was there. The place is so big but it is still so crowded. My sis went there twice and have not finish walking the whole place. Brought my dad to see the gadgets. Kids buy toys, he buys electronic products. I am not kidding when I say he changes his handphone, digital camera and etc very often. I rarely see him use the same digital camera. But then again, I rarely see him.

I saw this gorgeous tall chinese model working for Adidas. I first spotted her in a cafe, she was queueing behind me. I kept trying to steal glances at her. So pretty. Then I saw her struting her stuff for Adidas showcase. My only regret, I forgot to take a picture of her. But that will just be like some pervert.

Anyway, I left before dinner. Wanted to join them for a meal, but the timing was just not right I guess. I got lost trying to find the MRT station, ended up at the bus stop instead. I had to retrace my path and realise I missed a right turn.

It was a great day. I remember many many years back where Alternate Sundays were going out day with the whole family. Those were the times....no worries, no respondsibilities.

The house

The man of the house is back for a short holiday.

He has aged so much since the last time I saw him. Suprisingly it is not 8months ago or 1 year plus ago. The last time I saw him was just 1-2 months ago. But I can see the effects of time, toil and hard labour on his face and body.

It really pains me that he has to go through so much for the family. I can only stand at his side, quietly watch him get lost in his own world of thoughts. Indulge in his interests in gadgets which sometimes I disapprove of the mindless spending.

It pains me to see the woman of the house suffer in silence too. I know I will not have her strength if I was in her position.

The house is in such a mess. So many strifes

Why am I still not at ease?

Happy Birthday Lyn

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYN.

Elites

Been too lazy to post anything substaintial.
A bit late probably, but still a VERY GOOD read. If you are too lazy, just watch this. If you are interested, tomorror.sg has pretty extensive links on it

So This fellow decided to rant on his blog.

By Derek Wee
Oct 12, 2006

When I read the Straits Times article (dated 24 Sep) on PM Lee calling the young to be committed and make a difference to Singapore, I have so much thought about the issue.

I am 35 years old, graduated from University and gainfully employed in a multinational company. But I cannot help but feel insecure over the future of Singapore. Lets face it, it's not uncommon to hear, "when you are above 40, you are over the hill".

The government has been stressing on re-training, skills upgrading and re-adapt. The fact is, no matter how well qualified or adaptable one is, once you hit the magical 40, employers will say, "you are simply too old".

We have been focusing our resources and problem solving on low unskilled labour. But in reality, our managerial positions and skilled labour force are actually fast losing its competitiveness.

I travel around the region frequently for the past 10 years. It didn't take me long to realise how far our neighbours have come over the past decade.

They have quality skilled workers, and are less expensive. When I work with them, their analytical skills are equally good, if not better than us.

It's not new anymore. Taxi drivers are fast becoming "too early to retire, too old to work" segment of the society. I like to talk to taxi drivers whenever I am heading for the airport.

There was this driver. Eloquent and well read. He was an export manager for 12 years with an MNC. Retrenched at 40 years old. He had been searching for a job since his retrenchment.

Although he was willing to lower his pay expectations, employers were not willing to lower their prejudice. He was deemed too old. I wouldn't be surprised if we have another No. 1; having the most highly educated taxi drivers in the world.

On PM Lee calling the young to be committed and make a difference. Look around us. How dedicated can we be to Singapore when we can visualise what's in store for us after we turned 40? Then again, how committed are employers to us? But we can't blame them. They have bottom lines & shareholders' gain to answer to.

Onus is really on the government to revamp the society. A society that is not a pressure cooker. A society that does not mirror so perfectly, what survival of the fittest is.

But a society, where it's people can be committed, do their best and not having to fear whether they will still wake up employed tomorrow. Sadly, Singapore does not offer such luxuries and security anymore.

On the issue of babies. The government encourages us to pro-create. The next generation is essential in sustaining our competitive edge. Then again, the current market condition is such that our future has become uncertain. There is no more joy in having babies anymore; they have become more of a liability. It's really a chicken and egg issue.

Many of my peers, bright and well educated have packed up and left. It's what MM Goh called "quitters". It's sad but true, Singapore no longer is a place where one can hope to work hard their lives and retire graciously. It's really the push factor.

A future is something we sweat it out, build and call our own. Unfortunately, people like me, mid 30's going on 40's, staying put by choice or otherwise, we can't help but feel what lies ahead is really a gamble.

To PM Lee and the Ministers, we are on a different platform. Until you truly understand our insecurity, the future of Singapore to me remains a question mark.

And a girl responded with the following....

By Wee Shu Min

Thursday, October 19, 2006

mom's friend sent her some blog post by some bleeding stupid 40-year old singaporean called derek wee (WHY do all the idiots have my surname why?!) whining about how singapore is such an insecure place, how old ppl (ie, 40 and above) fear for their jobs, how the pool of foreign "talent" (dismissively chucked between inverted commas) is really a tsunami that will consume us all (no actually he didn't say that, he probably said Fouren Talern Bery Bad.), how the reason why no one wants kids is that they're a liability in this world of fragile ricebowls, how the government really needs to save us from inevitable doom but they aren't because they are stick-shoved-up-ass elites who have no idea how the world works, yadayadayadayada.

i am inclined - too much, perhaps - to dismiss such people as crackpots. stupid crackpots. the sadder class. too often singaporeans - both the neighborhood poor and the red-taloned socialites - kid themselves into believing that our society, like most others, is compartmentalized by breeding. ridiculous. we are a tyranny of the capable and the clever, and the only other class is the complement.

sad derek attracted more than 50 comments praising him for his poignant views, joining him in a chorus of complaints that climax at the accusation of lack of press freedom because his all-too-true views had been rejected by the straits times forum. while i tend to gripe about how we only have one functioning newspaper too, i think the main reason for its lack of publication was that his incensed diatribe was written in pathetic little scraps that passed off as sentences, with poor spelling and no grammar.

derek, derek, derek darling, how can you expect to have an iron ricebowl or a solid future if you cannot spell?

if you're not good enough, life will kick you in the balls. that's just how things go. there's no point in lambasting the government for making our society one that is, i quote, "far too survival of fittest". it's the same everywhere. yes discrimination exists, and it is sad, but most of the time if people would prefer hiring other people over you, it's because they're better. it's so sad when people like old derek lament the kind of world that singapore will be if we make it so uncertain. go be friggin communist, if uncertainty of success offends you so much - you will certainly be poor and miserable. unless you are an arm-twisting commie bully, which, given your whiny middle-class undereducated penchant, i doubt.

then again, it's easy for me to say. my future isn't certain but i guess right now it's a lot brighter than most people's. derek will read this and brand me as an 18-year old elite, one of the sinners who will inherit the country and run his stock to the gutter. go ahead. the world is about winners and losers. it's only sad when people who could be winners are marginalised and oppressed. is dear derek starving? has dear derek been denied an education? has dear derek been forced into child prostitution? has dear derek had his clan massacred by the government?

i should think not. dear derek is one of many wretched, undermotivated, overassuming leeches in our country, and in this world. one of those who would prefer to be unemployed and wax lyrical about how his myriad talents are being abandoned for the foreigner's, instead of earning a decent, stable living as a sales assistant. it's not even about being a road sweeper. these shitbags don't want anything without "manager" and a name card.

please, get out of my elite uncaring face.

That of course drew lots of shit. Her father apologised for her bluntness.

Wee Siew Kim apologises for remarks
By Ken Kwek

MP WEE Siew Kim has said sorry for remarks he and his 18-year-old daughter, Shu Min, made about Singaporeans who worry about jobs.

In a statement issued to The Straits Times last night, he apologised for the comments he made in an earlier interview on his daughter's criticism of another blogger, Mr Derek Wee, 35, on her Internet journal.

'We both apologise to the people whom we have offended, and especially Mr Derek Wee,' the MP said.

Miss Wee, a Raffles Junior College (RJC) student, had last week called Mr Derek Wee 'old' and 'undermotivated' after he wrote in his blog that the Government should try to be more understanding of Singaporeans' employment woes.

Many on the Internet slammed her for her remarks. She subsequently shut down her blog and was later counselled by her tutor at RJC.

In an interview with The Straits Times published on Tuesday, her father tried to smooth things over by acknowledging that she had used insensitive language.

However, he said he stood by his daughter's 'basic point', saying well-educated Singaporeans such as Mr Derek Wee should 'get on with the challenges in life' rather than complain to the Government about them. 'I think if you cut through the insensitivity of the language, her basic point is reasonable,' he had said.

'Some people cannot take the brutal truth and that sort of language, so she ought to learn from it,' he added.

The MP's comments drew further criticism, especially online.

Yesterday, in his apology, he said: 'I should not have said what I did about people's inability to take the brutal truth and strong language.

As you can see from his words, not many people will be happy. More fingers were pointed. And the Father apologised again.

I AM sorry that my statements carried in The Straits Times of Oct 24 offended some readers.

I should not have said what I did about people's inability to take the brutal truth and strong language.

I have also counselled my daughter Shu Min. She is fully aware and remorseful over her tone, insensitivity and lack of empathy.

I have advised her to learn from this.

We both apologise to the people whom we have offended, and especially Mr Derek Wee.

I am dead, I am average. I went to some neighbourhood school.

I got kicked by the BRUTAL TRUTH.

IF

If
Rudyard Kipling


If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

time of your life

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life

Wrong place, wrong time

I was in the toilet cubicle changing into my tennis shorts for my tennis game in 10mins when my handphone rang.

Then conversation went like this:

Me: Hello!

Ho: Do you have balls?

Me: Balls?....I got crappy balls (The tennis balls was really lousy ones)

*sniggers from the cubicle beside mine*

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

Dammn it, I meant TENNIS BALLS not those on me!!!!!

Funny shit

CLICK HERE

and

CLICK HERE


These 2 clips have got to be the funniest shit I have seen in a few months.

Scarred for life

I saw video clip a friend sent me and I am scarred for life.

I am so distraught after seeing it.

I never thought such a thing is possible.

It was so disturbing.

*Shudders*

Choke

It is funny how a person can choke when it boils down to the game. It comes so subtly that I did not notice till my partner told me.

Tennis is not a simple game. It becomes worst when points matter.

Lazy footwork, heavy legs, scared to hit, not swing fast enough etc....all signs of match fright.

I need to work on my game. A lot lot more work! I am 5 years behind the players interms of match experiences. I am behind in terms of techniques since I picked the game up on my own, honing what I thought was skills but ended up to be bad habits that are darn hard to change.

What are Friends for...

Over msn....

(Conversation was talking abt the loss of tons of music since my hdd crashed till....)

Me: =( Haiz, send me something to cheer me up!

Friend: ..... will like to send u a file "2...".... accept, save as, decline.

---
I clicked 'accept' without much checking as I was typing some codes for my project. The file was sent over in no time over the school network.

I decided to play the 'song' I heard and my speakers was on full blast as it was the term break.

Suddenly I heard MOANING. *dead panned* More moaning from a woman who was obviously not in pain but pleasure. It triggered some extinct memory I had of porn....

Immediately I off my speakers and click on Windows media to find... XXX

---
me: OEI!!! I ask u to send me music lah!

Friend: I thought u wanted something to cheer u up?

me: MUSIC!!!!!
---

Friends.....so HELPFUL!

Hdd gone...along with it....

I clicked 'Save' as I was halfway done in my assignment. No time to waste, dateline is coming soon and I have other projects to handle.

The screen hanged. Hmmm....maybe the processor is slow today.

It's still in freeze mode.

CTR-ALT-DEL

"Click click click" ..... "OS cannot be found"

My laptop harddisk crashed. Along with it, my Final year project, other projects, all my work since year 1, misc files which maybe needed in future, photos, links, games etc. Anything u can image, it's gone.

I checked my portable....ALAS....few days back I deleted it to help my friend reformat his computer.

@#$!@#%@$&#^%$%@

I am a WRECKED now. Shellshocked. Brooding......it will take time for me to get over it, hopefully.

In the meantime, please send me the following:
1) photos which have me inside.....
2) Blog address etc links
3) Music
4) Games
5) Shows
6) Animes


I am so sad now

Google is EVIL

Google has been allowing users to personalise their search page with RSS feeds long time back. I love it since I get to see the latest news at one glance. The only bad part was there was never enough space. I don't like to scroll down for my news. Therefore I limited myself to few more important feeds like news and sports etc.

Then one day I noticed "Add a Tab" My fingers went into auto mode and within a few minutes, I manage to get a few tabs up with more stuff to keep me updated. Alas, I spotted some games. Being the geeky me, I decided to try a few.

And now, I no longer read the news, check my emails, do any search...cos I on my browser so I can play Snowy and Bejewel. Flood It rocks too! Once I get bored, I go read some jokes and comics which I so carefully placed in another tab.

Google is evil....they are out to make me fail my exams!

Time to let go?

Above, a very good pair of tennis shoe - Barricade 3. I have grown so used the comfort, support, grip and durability of it. This pair was purchased sometime mid lastyear I think. So long ago I don't even recall when. It still looks decent right? Take a closer look....


The Adidas 3 strips became 2 a few months back. I had to cut it off since it was flapping away when I play tennis.


Have a look at the overall sole of the shoe right now. Not too shabby since the threading of the back still exsist.

On closer inspection, the front threading is totally gone. The rubber is so worn the there is none left on the front. A little hole is starting to form on the right side where all the sliding has taken a toil on it.

Must be wondering why there is such a mark difference in sole usage right? Tennis players like to walk on their toes in court. Hah! It's all the running in and stopping with a hop. All the sliding while running, all the scrampling and all the dash in. Factor in 2-3 times a week of tennis, abt 2hours of on court per session.

Is it time to retire my beloved pair of tennis shoe? The other one just don't match up to it, it slips and caused me toe an ugly blueblack! Lyn has been bugging me to throw it away. Han will probably flip as he sees the pictures maybe even contemplating of sneaking to my shoe cabinet and throwing it away for me.

Anyone wants to donate to my newly setup foundation - "Buy Ansley a pair of Barricade 4" funds?

Thanks

I got a birthday gift....think it should be for my 25th which is coming in a few month. Or am I going to be 26? I seriously lost count.

Thanks to the guys/gals who got it for me!

Danesia's 1st Month

Happy One Month Danesia!

Tired Ana

Danesia

This is her 3 weeks old...

This is her 1 week old....


What a big change. The little one sure grows up fast.

My sis told me that her confinement lady said Danesia will bring in some luck, so go buy 4D and toto. Apparently this is quite true, a few Aunts came to visit Danesia and won 4D. My sister also won. So I when I went to visit her last week, I too bought 4D-Ibet. My wallet had $6, so I split in equally for 2 days. I usually don't have such luck...but......I WON!!!! Starter!!!! Win $30, better than nothing!

Thank you Danesia!

Update
I won TOTO too....not 2 million, $30 since I have 4 numbers! Bought on the same day I went to visit the little girl!

Hmm...maybe I should start visiting her every Wed, Sat and Sun!

What is wrong with these pics?

I amin green....I don't wear green! This is my one and only green tee that I got from Hong Kong recently. And that is me walking to school trying to capture the first time I wore it.


This is Anastasia, born in 2005. That is a chair which I took a picture on when I was a baby, younger than Ana. I think even my sis took a picture with it when she was a kid. And 'No', it was not photoshopped. The chair still exists at my grandmothers house.

All seems fine when you see Anastasia so intrigue with her little sister. But it was bound to happen I guess, Anastasia seemed to be getting a little jealous. Apparently she cried and insisted to be carried at night. The fiesty girl even pushed Danesia away when my sister coaxed her to sit near Danesia.

"Round 1! Ding ding ding!!!"

"Don't you love me anymore?"

Danesia

This little fellow is pretty smart. She cries when she wants to be carried. So much so, the confinement lady has bar my sis and bro-in-law from carrying her when she is in one of her fits.
Must not spoil the kid that young!
