Afterwhich Garlic and i went down to Cineleisure's K box for a KTV session with his workmates.


Garlic and me.


Garlic and his Radio Mates.

The Final Verdict.

After the past few days of assessments conducted.

It seems to me that though i wish for that feeling to be back again, don't think that it'll ever be.

That why i say, i prefer the online version to the real deal.

Sigh~~

*cough*

Irritating cough is killing me.

*cough cough*

Damn.

I guess it is outta sight outta mind. We'll see tomorrow.

My Imaginary Crush.

Absence makes the heart grows fonder?

OR

Out of sight, out of mind?

Hmmmm........

Black Hawk Down.

Just finished watching this show on 5.

Though this is the 2nd time i watched it. I felt a twinge of saddness when i watch this show.

Coz to me, this is one of the updated and realistic war movies .( Please don't say what hamburger hill etc coz those are vietnam/ww2 movies)

I remembered clearly what R4 told me the first time i watched this show.

*there is this scene when the soldiers were roping down a sea hawk.*

R4: This is my job.
San-d: Huh, you sure or not?
R4: Yup. this is what i do for a living. That is if singapore ever need to deploy us. *grin*
San-d: Don't bluff la * raise eyebrow*
R4: Up to you to believe. *shrugs his shoulders*
San-d: .........................*pretend to watch the show but actually wondering if he is talking rot (again)*

Come to think of it, this show has been release in 2001 and its been 3 years already since we watched in in feb 2002.

And after knowing him for sooooo long, i got to admit that he is not lying.

It is after knowing him and knowing the job that he do, i constantly tell myself not to take him for granted cos you'll never know when he'll be gone.

Just like the other time i was deployed to Aceh.

There was this scene in Black Hawk Down when 64 was hit by an anti tank missile and 2 soldiers tried to save the pilot. But in the end, they were outnumbered, killed , stoned, dragged to the open ground and striped and being trampled on by the somalians.

This scene keep running through my mind when i touch down in Aceh and whenever we pass by places with lots of civilians looking at us (eg. markets).

Hahhahahahaha.

Told R4 and he said i am Paranoid.

Am i paranoid?

Maybe.

But i always tell myself that it never hurts to be a bit more catious.

Pine Tree.

Was digging in the yellow room looking for the crumpler pouch to put my ipod shuffle (which in the end ,i still can't find) when i came across an old diary.

Found this rather interesting note that i wrote on 25th Nov 99.

Think i read it from some magazine and decided to pen in down since it kinda describe about me.

SEPTEMBER 01 --- PINE TREE

Key Quality: Particular

You love agreeable company and surroundings. You're healthy, active, pratical and trustworthy. You have a naturalness that draws others to you and you are a good companion. You've high standards, but when they are met, you fall in love quickly. However it is often the sort of passion that burns out quickly as you lose interest and may suffer many disappointments in love.

Guess I'm a Pine tree after all.....

And the Pain Intensify.

Wah Seh.

My nasal pharynx inflammed again. The nose pain +++++. As if some one is using a knife n scarping it inside.

Think it is induced by lack of sleep and stress.

Work pace is so fast nowadays, don't even have time to take a breather. Sigh.

This month's pay hard to earn. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.

On a lighter note.

There are a few incident's that brighten my day today.

1. That 1122 sms.
2. The Ipod Shuffle that i ordered online arrived today.

Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee.

I noticed something about the pups.

They are very WHINY!

When they wander off away from their mummy (sansan), they will whine.
When they can't wait for their turn to drink milk, they will whine.
When they wanna snuggle into a certain position to sleep, they will whine.
When they sleep until they got stuck in a corner and can't get out, they will whine .

In short. Puppies whine.

Hahahahahhaah.

Boliao me.

Pooped.

Yesterday night was a tired night.

Delivery status:

5 Boys and a little lady. 1 white, 1 black and sliver , 4 salt and pepper.

Didn't sleep till this morning at 0700hrs but then the curious airle and cookie kept wanting to peep into the tent. And hence the "cat"fight. Had to do "guard" duty for them to keep them from fighting.

Shag level: +++++

On a lighter note.

Feel that sometimes my friends have a incredible sense of humor. Maybe some will call it lame. But i call it funny.

Eg: When yesterday i changed my Msn nick to "Boo! I have a CRUSH! ", Alex immediately msned me saying:

Alex: You have a crush? Omigosh? Who? Hheehehehehehe. You want your crush's electricity supply to be cut off arh?

San-d: .......

They have this silly joke saying that R4 being the job he is in will make life hell for people who is a threat to him.

San-d: How is he going to Taiwan to cut off zaizai and jay's electricity supply? Or how is he going to japan to cut off Takeshi Kaneshiro's electricity supply?

After a while, alex replied.

Alex: never underestimate the frog ppl.

*Faintz*

Hahahahahahhahahaahahahaha.

This is just one incident.

This morning got another sms from Zhang(3) men(2) .

Sidetrack: Zhang men is the president of the lame club formed in Aceh. Hence zhang men .(means clan leader in chinese swordfighting period kinda setting .)

Zhang Men (ZM): Help me congratulate your dog.... She's lucky the midwife never screw up.

San-d: Thanks a lot huh. (coz i am the midwife he is refering to.)

ZM: So wat r u going to do with the pups??

San-d: *Feeling a bit pissed at the previous sms , decided to be as nonsense as possible* Later boil soup with it la.

ZM: I thought so too.... can help in losing weight.

San-d: Joking la. Will sell them when they are bigger.

ZM: How much? I think my fren interested..... She thinks the soup is very nutritious.

San-d:*Faintz*

With friends like these, who needs to go watch comedies?

Life is Random. Enjoy Uncertainty.

Saw this on the Ipod shuffle's website. Cool slogan. This line best describe my feelings now.

Never partied so hard in any of the CNYs that i had. Maybe due to the fact that this CNY doesn't really feel like a CNY. Hahahhahahaha.

Got myself wasted on the 1st day of CNY. Guess it was due to the fact that i didn't eat much at mummy's place, we are at O's, drinks are cheap, losta action to see, great company and that R4 pissed me off BIG time which leds to why i go party in the 1st place.

To cut long story short.

Ser got worried when at almost 0430hrs i didn't sms her (coz i was supposed to when i got home), she activated R4 to look for me. He didn't wanna go initially coz he was :

1. Lazy
2. Tired ( coz just back from mahjong session at poonster's place)
3. Equally pissed with me.

But Ser used the ultimatium.

"If you are not going down, then i'll go down to look for her."

So poor R4 gotta rush all the way down to O to look for me and bring me home.

Hahahahahahahaha

But the aftermath is worse.

I got a MASSIVE hangover the next day and was damn miserable.

The rest of the days just whizzed past.

Was supposed to go visiting today but my darling san san is having her contractions and she may be due earlier then the estimated date which is on Valentine's day!

So being a good mummy to my furkid, i stayed home to take care of her. Hence the entry of the blog.

Enjoy Uncertainty.

Thats what i'm doing.

Heheheheheheh. Just kidding!

Why Don't Married Couples Hold Hands?

Chanced upon http://clumzy.blogspot.com/ and found this very interesting post.


After dinner our young couple friends noticed that Mrs. clumzy and I never hold hands.
Now I disagree with using the word "never" but this has been an often mentioned puzzlement to them as to why a married couple who supposedly love each other do not use so simple expression of love as holding hands.
I have on occassion attempted to explain this to them but I felt that this time a better explanation was possible by way of analogy.
I have recounted the essense of the story below and I hope that you find this as profound as they.



A man named H, has dreamed of owning a Ferrari convertible since he was a little boy.
He has grown up with this dream seeing many a Ferrari over the years, even having the thrill of being close enough to touch a door handle or two.
Now after years of saving and wise investments, a middle-aged H purchases the beloved Ferrari convertible of his dreams and finally has the opportunity to see what this amazing machine can do!
He pulls the top down, opens up the throttle, bangs it through the gears and sends it screaming to redline prompting the neighbours to file complaints with the local police.
H has come to appreciate the rush of adrenaline, the exhilaration of the sweet mechanical rythme, the exhaustion of a long hard drive and the loving duty of careful maitenance.
After such intimate knowledge and experience, can H ever return to the thrill of simply touching the door handle?

E'nuff said. :oP

Do we need Drama to make a relationship work?

Watched Ghost on 5 just now. Not the whole show though. Just drips and drabs of it. Came home late after having dinner and some impromtu shopping with R4, Avia and Bb Rayner.

When i saw the part when patrick swayze told demi moore about he would give anything to be able to hold her again thru Whoopi goldberg, i nearly teared.
Shows like this always make me have that Sour feeling in my heart.

That feeling is like the feeling that i felt when i am going through a break up.

Another show that makes me exprience this feeling is the City of Angels when Nicholas Cage said that he would rather have a day to hold, touch, feel her(meg ryan) then eternity without.

Though these are only shows but i can feel that the love they had for each other is so real, so intense.

Sometimes i feel that in a city as cynical as ours, will i ever exprience it . Not really personally but also through expriences of people close to me or around me.

Nowadays all i hear from friends around me are things like break ups, scandals, one night stands, no strings attached, psycho stalking and the list can go on and on and on.

One guy could be married but still having scandals with girls he met through clubbing, and he still whines that his wife is suspicious of him whenever he go clubbing.
Another married one could be going to geylang and i can assure you that he is not going there for the food.

In a city like ours, with infinite possibilities, has monogramy become too much to expect?

Another girl friend of mine could really give up everything she has for this guy when he is still pinning for his ex. Sometimes i wonder, how can she get to the future if the past is still present?

Another close girlfriend of mine is being controlled by someone obviously wrong for her through his mind games, in other words, stringing her along like a puppet.
But she still hopes for him, hoping that he'll change and they can be happy again. Afterall, they had happier times.

Is hope a drug that she need to go off of, or is it keeping her alive?

I guess these are examples of Love gone wrong.

I'm sure that everything started out with love but with things like temptation, jealousy and selfishness poisoned it.

Oh well.

Who am i to judge anyway, i too have my fair share of problems when it comes to relationships.

But in the matters of love, how do you know when it's right?

Point to ponder.

Been a busy week.

Back to work after my on and off break . And the working pace is like 2 Fast 2 Furious with NOS activated.There are a lotta changes in the work structure and i don't know to be happy or sad that it is happening.

Happy coz it is happening for a good cause. It will create a lot of opportunities and new expriences for us.

Sad? Coz have to work 10 x harder than what we are usually doing. Hahahahhaha~~~

Haven't been sleeping well. The furkids are very naughty at night. They like to fight and play at my side of the bed at night. Don't know whats up with them.

R4 surprises me by agreeing to go to KTV on tuesday when i casually remarked to Kelene and chong over dinner, "lets go KTV!"
Kelene was like ,"ok!"*grins*

I was half expecting R4 to protest but he say ok. I was so SURPRISED!*Eye Popping*
(R4 is known to be Anti KTV)

More surprsing is that later at K-Box, he actually sings! Hahahahaahah.

There is this song by Ping Guan and Fish Leong called "Ming Ming Hen Ai Ni" which literally means obviously i am in love with you that i like very much. Never been happier that R4 actually sing with me(since it is a duet)! I was have expecting to sing with the analog on by myself but surprisingly he took the mic and sing along too!

Its all this little things that makes my day.

There is this part in the MTV that i think it is probably what R4 would say to me. I am always whining that he don't say all the usual "I Love You" and the "I Miss You" to me.

(The following conversation is LOOSELY translated from the mandarin MTV)

Ping Guan(PG): i...er....i...Love......(wanted to say i love you)
Fish Leong: *Slaps him* There is no need to keep saying that you love me. Whats matters most is the true love you felt for me deep in your heart.
PG: ........*speechless*

HahahahahahhaHahhahaha....

The reason why Fish slaps him is coz earlier in the MTV, there is this "crazy love sick" girl who had been dumped by her boyfriend at their cafe(PG and fish runs a cafe in this mtv) makes PG say I love you everytime she goes to their cafe. This is coz PG had asked her is there anything he can do to help her when he witnessed her being dumped by her boyfriend.
Obviously Fish loves PG a lot and is pissed when this girl wants her guy to keep saying I love you.

Hence the part.
