Batman Begins?

Been having the insomnia spells again of late.. and probably due to work, its been getting worse...
A fine example would be now... Promised corrinne that i would get some sleep but after tossing on my bed for15 mins, decided to forego the sleep and stay awake till its time to go to work..
Sorry babe...

Work has really been killing me of late.. Suddenly, there has been a huge influx of activity pertaining to the website... Now, if only i had a team of people working together with me on the website, that wouldn't be so bad cuz we could like take shifts or something.. But the bad news for me is that I'm the only fool working on this website.. So everything has to go through me... Thankfully, my boss is trying his best to help me by doing whatever he can... Really appreciative of that.. But alas, it all still boils back down to me... And i reckon it really doesn't help the situation when i'm half asleep and stoned as hell in the day and wide awake at night....

Warner brothers really chose a great time to launch the movie "Batman Begins".. In many aspects, it really has begun...

Its the Hols

Its the hols....

Well, one day of it anyways...

And for the first time in a long time, i have nothing to do at home...No one to go out with, and not to mention, no cash to go out with as well...

Sucks man..

The last few days have been absolutely tiring...
Had some function at SPH on friday. Church on sat. Big Walk followed by the Choir Gathering at church on Sunday. And finally monday, i'm faced with the most tiring task of them all.... Trying to figure something to contend myself with on monday....

Corrinne is at her grandmother's place...
If only she were here now....

Oh well, enough of self ramblings.... Time to get back to work....

What luck...

WTH!!!!!

Found my keys this morning.... IN MY LAPTOP BAG WHICH I BROUGHT BACK YESTERDAY!!!!

Meaning to say silly ol me got 'locked out' yesterday for nothing... on my own accord!!!!

WTF!!!!

But on the bright side, leaset i got to spend some time with grass & jayet....

Coincidences?

Its pretty fascinating how amazingly 'sway' a person can get...
A person like me that is...

Believe it or not, i'm blogging here, right outside my own house, with no keys to enter into the house cuz i forgot to bring them back from the office... i'm using my office laptop to tap into my wireless internet connections... so tat explains why i can blog here, right outside my house...

Was on duty yesterday... From last week, the whole internet connection int he army was down due to some reasons what so ever.... How to work???? So i decided to come home to work.... little did i know that fate was playing a practical joke on me man....

4 more hours to go before anyone comes home... Man its a long wait... what the hell am i going to do for the next few hours? can't stay on the cpu forever, cuz my batt will only last me another hour or so... Its times like that i wish i had a car or that my work place was like 5 mins away, and not an hours worth of travelling....

On a brighter note, gonna watch star wars tmr.... hope its worth the money man....

ok, gonna try to figure something to do while i'm locked out due to my own stupidity....

Hmmmm.....

Good Shitz

DJ TIESTO PLAYS SOME SERIOUSLY GOOD SHITZ MAN!!!!

The Hiding Place

Everybody has their own hiding place.... Be it in their rooms, a secret corner of the earth or even in their toilets.... For me, I'm no different from everyone else... Its just that my hiding pplace is a bit more mobile than others...hehe...

To me, blasting music into my ears is my luxury. My little hiding spot. The one place on earth where i feel totally alone and comfortable with myself at any time of the day. I bet those in the MRT trains at 6am in the morning will have something to say about that!!!

But anyways, to me, it brings me to whole new world. A world where i can't be disturbed and can really have all the time in the world to think about stuff i have to think through. The loud music just rings through my ears and through into my brain, thus helping me clear my mind. In certain ways, it provides me with the strength to actually even move. To others, it might just be a bit of adreneline, but for me, i guess its so much more than that.

Music having been such an important aspect of my life, really its quite impossible for me without it...

So next time if you see me with earphones plugged into my ears, dun bother trying to call out to me... cuz there's a high possibility that i won't be able to hear you.hehe...

Not to be rude or anything.... Its just quality time with me, myself and I.

Kinda freaky huh... Oh well, everyone's wierd in their own special way...

Everyday

You know something, everyday i seem to be falling deeper and deeper...
In love that is...

Though i'm not usually one to say these kind of things but hey, running out of things to blog about....

So i just wanna give a great big shout out to my one and only, precious and delightful girlfriend of four months, Miss Corrinne Cheong!!!!!

I LOVE U!!!!!!

Bad Boy

ok, i'm suppose to be like working on the webpage, to figure out why it keeps running out of line...
But.... oh well, anyways, finally i have changed the skin for the blog...
The old one coincidently began to stink...hehe...
okiz den, finally after 2 hours looking for a new skin, time to start work...
Wanna bet i'll end up sleeping?

Oh, did i mwntion i'm in camp, on duty?

HEHE!!!

Cheerios

Thailand

The trip to thailand was a blast.... To me, it was really a good change of environment, as well as quality time spent with corrinne..and of course not to forget her family...

We departed Singapore on Saturday afternoon... A short 1 hour flight to Bangkok...

Corrinne: Eh, why my headphone no sound one?
Me: Lemme see....Errr... Darling, u haven't plugged in the headset...
Corrinne bursts out in a laughter, scary and loud enough to make everyone sit up and take notice....

Halfway through the flight, while watching the first episode of Joey, There's this damn funny scene whereby Joey doesn't know whuch camera to ook at... Its hilarious...and so is my beloved girlfriend... She bursts out laughing so loud that her mum has to turn behind from the seat in front of me, just to tell her to tone down her volume....

Stayed in the ARNOMA Hotel... for those with no sense of where is what, its a hotel directly opposite to the World Trade Centre of Bangkok... Checked in without hassle whatsoever... Ended up swapping rooms with corrinne's mum... Yahs!!!! Hey get that dirty thought out of ya head willya? I was sleeping in the same room as Corrinne and her grandmother...ON SEPARATE BEDS!!!!! not so bad la.. at least can talk to her at night, without the hassle of having to run around the rooms...

Went out for a walk after that... Wanted to take a cab to the other side of town, but sadly, there were no cabs avaliable... you should have seen how disappointed her mum was... On the flipside, Corrinne and her dad were very happy... Oh well, men & women....hehe...

Went to the Chao Paraya river the next morning... The standard tour stuff la... Visited the Temple of Dawn... Saw a catfish the size of a shark you would see in the aquarium @ Wisma Atria.... In the afternoon, we went to this place called Dreamworld. Its supposingly a theme park kind of place... Had quite a time there getting wet...

That was actually a bad thing... Cuz the next place we went to was actually a shopping centre... As the aircone blasted its damn cold air on us, corrinne and i were shivering as hell... had to buy new clothes just to feel more comfortable... so incidently, those were arguably the only things i bought in thailand...(other than airport tax of course...) As corrinne and i were too tired to do any more shopping later in the eveing after dinner, we skipped the shopping with the parents and went for a swim and some quality time alone... such a nice feeling...hehe...

Next morning, did a bit of walking around before going to the airport to cathc our flight back....

All in all, it was a reasonably great trip cuz of the time spent with her... Sadly, i couldn't get stuffs for my buddies and frens... so sorry, promise the next time i'm there, get the whole country back for ya...hehe...

Coming soon

Going to thailand this weekend with corrinne and her family... boy is that a pressure cooker... lets just say its quite a big step, going abroad with your girlfreind and her family... just really hope that i won't go screw up anything that would jepordise anything between me, her and her family...
Anyways, will post up the pictures when i get back.. in the meantime, take care yall....

hehe...

ok firstly, a thousand apologies for not blogging enough...
Guess i'm gettin too lazy for this shit... but anyways, i promise i'll try to blog at least once a week...
TRY!!!!!

Work is a killer as usual... can't seem to even get out of the office on time nowdays, with the workload usually piling up to the ceilings... understandable...
imagine when it reaches 9th Aug...
I'll probably be dead after that...

Good news is my damn pay increment is coming next month... YEAH!!!!
Bad news is, i might not even survive pass this month...hehe..

Oh well, one day at a time...

Life is good man...
Of course, to me only la... imagine going to work every day not giving a rat's ass on whether you are late or not...
Yup, that's pretty much how its going nowadyas...
Let's just say i found an itsy bitsy loop-hole in the system and went ahead to burrow through it...
hehe... can't ride my luck though... it WILL end one day...

It's Corrinne's birthday on Thursday...
Gotta get her her presents....Erm, i mean i've already gotten her presents...hehe... (Whew!)
Amazingly, its been nearly 4 months since we got together and it still feels like yesterday...
Oh, the feeling of falling in love is such a wonderous one...
Ok, i know i'm gonna get cursed at by some people but what the hell...
Enjoy the good times while it lasts right? hehe...

Actually, i think i'm beginning to scare myself...
I'm beginning to sound like a girl.... Hmmm....
Oh well, it can't all a bad thing right?

The Homily of Love

When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure.
But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher.

In the game of love, it doesn't really matter who won or who lost.
What's important is you know when to hold on and when to let go!

You know you really love someone when you want him or her to be
happy, even if their happiness means that you're not a part of it.

Everything happens for the best.

If the person you love doesn't love you back, don't be afraid to love someone else again, for you'll never know unless you give it a try.

You'll never love a person you love unless you risk for love.

Love strives in hurting. If you don't get hurt, you don't learn how to love.

Love doesn't hurt all the time, though the hurting is still there to test you, to help you grow. Don't find love, let love find you.

That's why it's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall.
You just fall. You cannot finish a book without closing its chapters.

If you want to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages.
Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress.

It is a lifetime venture in which we are always learning, discovering and growing.

The greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go. We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves. On falling out of love, take some time to heal and then get back on the horse. But don't ever make the same mistake of riding the same one that threw you the first time.

To love is to risk rejections, to live is to risk dying, to hope is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life risks nothing!

To reach for another is to risk involvement; to expose your feelings is to expose true self to love is to risk not to be loved in return.

How to define love: fall but do not stumble, be constant but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand, hurt but never keep the pain.

Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that always last for a lifetime.

Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling.

It should inspire you and give you joy and strength.

But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end.

Loving people means giving them the freedom who they choose to be and where they choose to be.

For all the heartaches and the tears, for gloomy days and fruitless years, you should give thanks, for you know, that there were the things that helped you grow.

Loving someone means giving him the freedom to find his way whether it leads towards you or away from you.

Love is a painful risk to take but the risk must be taken no matter how scary or painful, for only then you'll experience the fullness of humanity and that is love.

Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with desire and tear you apart.

Only love can make you cry and only love knows why. If you're not ready to cry, if you're not ready to take the risk, if you're not ready to feel the pain, then you're not ready to fall in love.

There was a time in our lives when we became afraid to fall in love coz every time we do, we get hurt, then I figured that's why it's called falling in love.

When you decide to love, allow it to grow.
When you promise to love, refuse to let it die!

The days go by...

The insomniac nights are over for now.... NOT!!!!!
for the last few weeks, it was because of work... now, its just cause i can't seem to sleep... only can seem to do that in the morning when i reach work... so its kinda like i dun sleep the whole night, or should i say, try but fail to sleep for the whole night, before stumbling to work early in the morning, with a face lower than droopy's and scarier than a zombie's....

Was with the Adventus crew 2 weeks ago @ Mdm Wongs.. That was a blast... witnessed a whole drunk fest right after in their office... hehe... no worries... nothing wrong was done... hehe...Just seeing them having so much fun makes me want to go out to the private sector and work as well... oh well, have to wait at least 4 more years before i can even think about it...

Patience is a virtue... Shall keep telling myself that for the next 4 years at least.....

Last friday, liquid room with carole, roch and debz... after such a long time, debz makes an appearence back in Yishun.... ok for those who are a bit lost, debz is my childhood/ex girlfren.... nowadays, she stays with her boyfren in pasir ris.... which is really a good thing, if you ask mostof s who know her since young.... anyways, not to digress... back to liquid rm... although house music has never been my thingy, soomehow, i always enjoy the music when i'm at liquid rm...

maybe its the alcohol.....

Mainey's party at rouge on sat was really a blast.... to me at least, cuz its been a while since i saw her... last christmas actually... hehe... always nice to meet up once in a while...went with mandy and andi.... oh and kenny and mel were also there.... how i miss the company.... got really high thatnight... too much alcohol at one go... but den again, too much is never enough...hehe....

So for now, i shall lay awakw and figure out how to solve this insomniac problem... rambling about the drinking in the past few weeks ain't helping cuz ny brain is kinda braindead for now.... just like opening my eyes but not thinking about anything at all....

work.....zzzzz......zzzzz......zzzzzz.....wth?!

NDP 2005

The first media launch is over... Finally.... Please everybody, do me a great big favour and go to the NDP Website . As i am personally involved in the maintanence of it, i would require you guys to help me critic the site...

In the meantime, time to spend sometime with corrinne... this NDP has been taking up too much of our time...hehe...

Rambles

i swear!!!!! work is absolutely killing me... least the fact that the company that is helping out is located right smack in the middle of mohd sultan... preeety convenient if you ask me...hehe

Anyways, been too damn busy with the preparations for NDP... too damn busy for anything... even my girlfren!!! ok(hands up!!), i admit i've been neglecting her quite a bit but hey, i can't help it right? dun even have time to go home to sleep, let alone spend time with her!!! well, glad she understnds(i hope)... u know women and their " i understand, dun worry" and den go on making a big fuss out of nothing at all... i do realise i will offend some people by saying that but hey, the truth hurts right? hehe... no offense to anybody la...

But in the midst of all that, i think a slight problem is developing within me... actually, i think it has been there all this while but i just always kinda shrugged it off... i think i'm having some kind of sleeping disorder!!!(HELP!!!!) thank god my boss is understanding.... can't seem to stay awake in the day and can't sleep to sleep at night.... goodness!!!! what the hell is wrong with me?

Oh well, taking a break just for these few days.... hopefully can get something done by the time i get back to work...

ahhh.... work.....

Food for thought?

We were made such a perfect creature.
With the ability to upgrade by will of the nature.
With the brains to create even other creatures.
But given the heart just to keep us from overtaking the creator.
Our beginnings from a humble form till the endings of gigantic evolution and in bet is our actions based on our judgemental emotion.

Deep man....

The end of another day

It has come to the end of another working day in the office....

Man, i got up this morning staring at a mini depression... Maybe i was a woman in my previous life... Sometimes i feel like that... I wonder why?? maybe its cuz i got up late again and was late for work again... Giving the excuse that i was going to the bank was my ' Break Glass in Case of Emergency ' Plan... Luckily i found no need for it... I guess that is what i love about my office these days... Compared to the days when i first started working there, whereby i had eyes on me, watching my every move and being at the wrong place at the wrong time always.... Thus getting unreasonable punishments always.. Nowadays, evasion has become sort of an artform for me... The only bad thing for me and as usual, my conscience... Feel kinda bad for going late to work... I mean, others make it to work early in the morning and there are arses like me, who just take their time and dun bother at all about how late they arrive at work... As lam hasa told me before, if this were the coporate world, i wouldn't be able to survive even a week, with the current mindset i have now... He makes sense you know... Haiz....

Corrinne has been waking me up every morning...Literally... The poor girl goes to sch early in the morning, and tries her very best to wake me up in the morning... I feel so bad cuz i always sleep so soundly, dead to the world... so you can imagine how many times she calls and calls, but there is just no answer.... Darling, i'm really sorry... I think there's a problem with me... I'm sick in a funny kind of way....

Food for Thought..

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age."

Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, "Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment."

Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. "I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home."

He looked at us and said, "I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my Mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish."

Frank's voice dropped a bit. "When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school,I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!"

He paused and then went on, "I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, 'No, Dad.'

It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face.

I said, 'Dad, I'm too old for a goodbye kiss. I'm too old for any kind of kiss.'

My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out the windshield. 'You're right,' he said. 'You are a big boy....a man. I won't kiss you anymore.'"

Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. "It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a gale and was trying to save the nets and the floats."

I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. "Guys, you don't know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek....to feel his rough old face....to smell the ocean on him....to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss."

Its been a long time....REAL LONG!!!

ok firstly, sorry for not blogging so long.... been busy as hell of late so blogging was not really the top of my agenda....

Anyways, Lets start with with yesterday... As our dear patriotic Gabriel was flying off today(Wait, i think he has already flown!), the whole gin gang met up at wala wala last night... Talk about a big group... 4 tables full... It was kinda like an angelus choir reunion with a whole bunch of former members.... hehe... anyways, here's who came...

Amanda
Gabriel
Chris
Robin
Noel
Jeremy
Mitsuye
Sarah
Joanne Sandhu
Roch

On looking at that list, i feel i damn loser man.... in that whole, i'm probably the only ass in the world with 2 ex girlfreinds in that list.... man, i feel weird.....

Anyways, hung out at wala wala till about 2 plus when the place closed... after much disussion, we ended in zouk... where the gals partied as hell and the guys sat at wine bar to chill... feels damn good to be able to catch up with all of them again... :)

Den, later in the morning, tragedy struck....for me at least... jayet got herself pissed drunk... ended up having to send her home with amanda and rob... well, no biggie... but in the midst of doing that, i lost my damn phone!!!! nows thats the sad part... haiz, had to suspend my line and get another sim card.... All my contacts lost!!!!! damn sad man.....

Well, today, corrinne had some dance competition at suntec... being me, sadly, i woke up a wee bit late and missed it... however, thankfully, corrinne managed to get it on video... man was i impressed... they were good... looks like all that hard work did pay off.... but sadly, the judges thought otherwise... Blind idiots!!!! The winning group performed again at the end and looking at it, i must say, WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING????!!!!Haiz, justice is blind.......

Have to go to work in a few hours time so hopefully, i'll keep up this blogging habit again....otherwise, this site becoming a bit of a white elephant huh?? Take care yall!!!
