"Cutlery Drive"

It's a good improvement for xy :) For the first time, she's more involved in whipping out a meal (not just washing and cutting), and also for the first time, i cooked pasta as well...




I would say that 90% of the credit for this meal goes to xy :) check out the stuff she prepared, though simple, but it's meaningful and tasty. The remaining 10% of the credit is mine, after her request for SOS to prepare the gravy for the veg, and after being splashed and scalded by the failed first attempt by herself.

It's a joy to know that people appreciate the little little things that they do, though it may seem minute. I bet she understands by now :)

Out of Point

For the first time of my life, went with xy for a short cruise vacation. Ok for me, but i guess not so ok for her...probably becos, i guessed that i am better than her to make sure that i make the trip worth by attempting to maximize the usage of the entitled facilities :p

Check out some shots taken

That's the first one....taken soon after departure from Harborfront.. the cruise passed by Pulau Bukom, and also Jurong Island! Saw the blurry bright spots behind me?? We are not breaking the rules here... :p

That's the room which we stayed in for 2 nights.. Simple and cosy, but the disadvantage is that there's no window in the room at all...made me feel so confined in an enclosure, and on the 2nd morning, i was clueless about the time until i saw the time on my handphone.

Basically, going for a cruise is really a good time to go out to do 'nothing'. for xy, it's just waking up, watching tv, and waiting to eat..lol..nonetheless, the companionship is valuable. another bonus from the trip was the chance to see 黄舒俊 performing live on the cruise. i sort of pity him actually, from the fact that most of the audience went in with free tickets (becos they are the members of star cruise aka regular visitors). most of them either slept thru his performance (the ah gong and ah mas) or can't appreciate his songs cos they dun even know who he is. For us, the paying audience, we sort of enjoyed it, even though i was quite disappointed that he did not sing 未央歌 (even after i personally requested him to sing that), my all time favorite of his song.

Well, a simple, yet enjoyable get away, out of the point dot on the world map :).

Anyway, was out again yesterday and for the first time, i drove out of Singapore..lol

Of course closely guided and supervised, but still, i lost my way even when it was only a short journey to city square...lol. I would say that my driving skills was put to a test, which i passed and survived thru. but i had never drove so daringly before until yesterday. cos in JB, i was taught that u cannot drive gentlemanly. u muz be 'hiong2'!!! but yet not reckless.

Neway ktv is really cheap and good, and it was enjoyable ktving there. the songs there seemed to be newer and more updated than wat we have locally. Will definitely look forward to patronise there again in the near future :)

ST wedding - Cheers

One more buddy got married....

The gate crashing quest was kinda simple...comparatively with the rest of the ventures which i had gone thru... The sisters were generally 'kind hearted', the brothers this time round were more reserved, i should say more refined..lol ....so...i had to make myself LOUD..so that the whole thing doesn't become 'cold' and 'boring' but nonetheless, it was fun, meeting up with old old friends from primary school, JC and also not forgetting NS and also making new friends from the brothers and sisters.

Many were surprised to see me yesterday...many popped to ask "what has you got to do with ST???? cos i was not from the same secondary school, nor JC as him...until i told them that we are NS buddies :) and many of the brothers were also surprised by how each and everyone of us were linked by different networks which caused us to cross path today.

SINGAPORE IS REALLI SMALL...- CONCLUSION from YESTERDAY

Not again....kena arrowed to be the Emcee...I had seriously lost count....luckily my partner this time round is someone whom i know....during JC days, and ST's secondary school friend (small world again)..So it's less awkward. i recalled we (the JJC softball team) used to call her X^2 last time - her name initials. It was a good partnership last nite :) The nite was peaceful also...not much need to drink for the groom...everyone was 'well behaved'.

祝 白头偕老

潘裕文- 近在眼前

This singer certainly rocked my jukebox for the year of 2009. Released only 1.5 albums, about 15 songs, and i already have 8 in my jukebox. Below is the hit song of his newest album. So wanted to sing it at ktv if it's ktv version is ever released. I was touched by the lyrics.



潘裕文-近在眼前

作词:姚若龙作曲:李双飞

大楼很高捷运很快可是天很灰
城市堘面我寄居在边缘
想拿梦擦出火焰

脚步很忙渴望很烈可是路很远
有多疲惫一关灯才发觉
思念蜿蜒流过了胸前

远赴天涯找的幸福却近在眼前
你的宽容洗涤我累积的伤悲
守护我领悟什灱才是原点
碎裂过的人要从拥抱去缝合对爱的理解

放下从前找的未来却近在眼前
你的身旁才是会开花的世界
我告别闪耀却迷乱的一切
在风里回来温暖又让麻木的灵魂重燃感觉

考验很多改变很难可是梦很美
抬头想到你会陪我向前
就能奋不顾身的坚决

有了体会梦才能慢慢实现
有了陪伴小窗变蓝天
有了感动爱长成幸福的果园
有灯火能回头是多灱感谢的依恋

如今已荡然无存的xx

Was delighted to know that he got new songs in the market.. He definitely bring me back to my childhood days when i used to like his songs...and probably the first song which caught my attention was the one right below.....


初恋
演唱:红孩儿

流过泪的年轻
初恋失恋的心
不知道你珍不珍惜
当白云走你的窗前说声保重
心里的信箱还要期待多久

爱唱歌的年纪
什么使你哭泣
谁的悲伤你不忍心
当眼泪敲醒昨夜的梦原来是雨
还以为你又来说good-byb
能不能再一次靠近我
听我慢慢诉说
心里多少伤心话
能不能再一次靠近我
一起走过从前在把青春说一遍
明天还要流浪
爱是我的方向
不管要去哪个海洋
当我们怀抱里的吉它都换了新弦
只有思念的歌唱不完




If my memory did not fail me, i was only primary 4 then... but i could already memorise the lyrics...ahem...even until today, when i tried to sing along with the music...i still managed to get all the lyrics right!!!!

from hudong.com:

“红孩儿”是台湾歌坛的一个演唱组合，由马国贤、张克帆、韩志杰、汤俊霈、张洛君、沈依智和王海轮等七位年青人组成。他们一出现便声势夺人，被视为“小虎队”的强劲对手，台湾广大年轻歌迷称誉他们为“年轻的英雄，火红的伙伴”。他们活泼热劲，新潮的歌路和现代的舞蹈，在台湾诸多青年歌唱组合中脱颖而出。第一张专辑大碟《亮出我的年轻护照》，一炮打响，在港台地区及日本都造成了不小的影响。“红孩儿”己声名在外，成为90年代年青人崇拜的偶像。

由于杰出的歌舞表演，“红孩儿”很快在歌坛上与“小虎队”并驾齐驱，成为竞争的有力对手。对于身为大哥哥的“小虎队”是一件今他们十分兴奋鼓舞的 好事。“小虎队”屹立歌坛很久，但一直苦无实力相当的演唱组合与他们一较长短。如今“红孩儿”出山，终于使他们有了挑战的对手，互相竞争角逐更闹猛。

That was how he started his singing career...more than 20 years ago.

Even after he released his own album, i still quite like his songs, the two songs below are CLASSIC. I think they were released in 1995 and 1997 respectively.

张克帆-还记得我吗

我开始相信自己
是个害怕寂寞的男人

总爱泡上一杯咖啡
在回忆里慢慢地浮沉

但仔细想想过去
从来不曾如此地认真

像现在这样
怀念你的温柔眼神

而或许在你眼中
我是不会用心的男人

所以离开我的时候
没有留下任何的泪痕

有那么一点后悔
其实我也不会再否认

爱情故事
结局总是让人心疼

越来我越相信命运
注定要失去你
今夜的风太冷
多希望你能再温暖我的心

但你还记得我吗
不会什么你都忘了吧
那些曾说过的话
希望你还完整地放在你心上
但你还记得我吗
我们已付出太多代价
如果重新回头
你会再爱我吗

越来我越相信命运
注定要失去你
今夜的风太冷
多希望你能再温暖我的心
但你还记得我吗
不会什么你都忘了吧
那些曾说过的话
希望你还完整地放在你心上

但你还记得我吗
我们已付出太多代价
如果重新回头
你会再爱我吗

我开始相信自己
是个害怕寂寞的男人

总爱泡上一杯咖啡
在回忆里慢慢地浮沉

我从不知道自己
有个如此脆弱的灵魂

原来曾经我是爱你
爱得这样得深

原来曾经我是爱你
爱得这样得深

风的泪

没有你的音乐会
特别为你留个座位
闭上眼睛感觉
曾经被你爱的滋味
心里有一段时间
永远无法跨越昨天
我痛苦我看见
对你迷恋已没有终点

一旦爱就自私的可以
不能容许别人去疼你
感情怎能只有我继续
你留在何处忘了回去

风吹走我眼角的一滴泪
来不及闭上眼睛去挽回
往事再也追不回
心破碎再破碎
被爱是最美

风吹走我心中的一滴泪
再没有谁能让我去迷醉
如果我懂得拒绝
你存在的世界
何必在乎谁
吻你的嘴




That's how he look like now: a chinese phrase that fits the description:

昔日的俊朗，如今已荡然无存



唯一不变的，仍是他的天籁之音

when i heard the song from the radio, i know it's him....


張克帆 - 兩個世界

過了今晚 再也留不住你
遲早要洗去 我臉頰上的唇印
你和我約定 到了明天
誰也不許再提起
你輕輕的留給我
這深深的回憶

甜言蜜語 遲早都會說盡
再多真心擋不住黎明來臨
這段屬於黑夜的愛情
註定要蒸發陽光底
愛上了不該愛的人
連傷心都會來不及

兩個世界的代表作品
就是 命運
我雖然很有勇氣 但卻放不下自尊心

時鐘 滴滴答答 滴滴答答
我還盲目的擁抱你
希望把這一刻時間
永遠的鎖在黑夜裡

apparently there's still no mv for this song...but nonetheless there's a live version for viewing and listening.

99.99%

On 22 Dec, i have unofficially ended my 2.5 years of studies with the WORLD CLASS UNIVERSITY WANNABE once again.

my grades are definitely not fantastic, compared to all my fellow friends who were ex Eng graduates taking whatever Masters Course, and of course my friend who scored nothing but As and A+s up till now. But nonetheless, I am contented :)

Basically i am just waiting for the school to notify me that I have COMPLETED the course and of also the graduation arrangements.....lets hope that the WCU does not screw up once again and give me problems...So i am 99.99% that i will graduate

2010 is here. I am officially one step closer to reach another decade of my life...

It's time to start planning......career, and of course..........to settle down :)
