Love Me

fav song. the lyrics r so touching...sob sob

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat
And he showed it once to me
He said," Boy you might not understand,
But a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none,
But I loved your grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet,
And run away together
Get married in the first town
We came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree
Where we supposed to meet instead
I found this letter and this is what it said
*If you get there before I do, don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through,
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down,
Darling wait and see
And between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you..love me
I read those words just hours
Before my grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church
Where me and grandpa stopped to pray
I know I never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said those words to her
His eyes filled up with tears*
Between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you... love me

Of time and watch-Part 1

met alvin for supper last nite.

the first thing he noticed when he got into my car was, the time on my radio is wrong.

now tis is beli sad lor. the time has been incorrect since my batt went flat last mth. it was on 28th may tat i discovered my batt is dead lor so exactly one month.

i haf drove so many ppl ard and there has been many attempts by my passengers and myself to set the time but to no avail.

so poor mi has been stealing glances at my wristwatch whenever i need the time while driving. stressed ah!

anyway, alvin offered to set the time for mi. so i let him fiddle wif it lor. after all, so many ppl try oredi, no harm in him trying too.

GUESS WAT??!!

he actualli managed to set the time!!

ok, mayb i shouldn't sound so surprised. but i oredi gave up all hope of ever having the correct time in my car...hehe

and he has to rub it in by saying 'So, you need a pilot to set the time' ^&*%#@&*^@

decided to migrate my stuff to the Ferre bag and change to handbag again. lugging my laptop around in a shoulder bag is quite tiring lor.

and i reli muz get around to starting the petition.

Dinner and letdown by Italy

went to hk styled cafe @ kovan wif karen for dinner tonite.

since we need to wait for alex, we decided to make a sidetrip to singapore pools for mi to collect my winnings of $18 for the togo match.

at the same time, we placed some bets. karen did some analysis of the avg goals by aussie and italy. we bet 3 and 4 total goals wif score of 2-1. wat a disappointment tat italy onli won by 1 goal. there seems to b a goal drought for tis world cup.

the decor reminds mi of macau cafe where marie brought mi for dinner on 1st nite.

















we tried the toast and cold veg eaten wif wasabi soy sauce dip. both beli nice leh!

































more food, gorgeous food!!

and the teh-peng is mine of course. the taste is juz rite, meaning they haf adapted it to suit local taste. coz all the tea i tasted in hk is not sweet enuff for mi

空城计

was chatting wif kinlai & she mentioned tis when describing how both of us r in the habit of leaving msn on but disappear altogether.

i always scold ppl 没礼貌 but i'm the most 没礼貌 one coz i dun bother to set my status to away even when i not at hm...haha

so the personal coaching training i attended did raised a valid point. when u hate someone's behaviour, very often, u r exhibiting the same behaviour. tat revelation made mi always pause when i get beli irritated wif someone. i always question myself if i haf the same prob.

eg. being late...i hate waiting for ppl thus i m always late...i m irritated if someone is late, Voila!

Products Launch today!

So excited!!


Today's the products launch of Super ABOBA, S Factor Plus and Imu 6. the Super ABOBA and Imu 6 is long awaited for.


The concept of slimming by blood type has taken Japan and HK by storm. and ann's got a book from kinokuniya on tis. will borrow from her & study the topic in greater depth.

Imu 6 is colostrum collected during the initial 6 hrs after the cow has given birth. the fact tat colostrum is highly nutritious and boosts the immune system is a well known fact and applies to humans too. there's a book by Dr Antony, father of Imu 6 tat i muz pick up tdy.



Juz learnt abt the properties of S Factor Plus. wow! really a beli powerful super food! got so many nutrients leh! i'll go sample the concoction wif pear yoghurt drink tdy...sounds good!
tink i'll put a bottle in my office as bfast since i always no time to haf bfast & end up starving.

Yummy Lor Mee









Went to army mkt for lunch yest and had the yummy lor mee. so many ingredients and taste so good!! two thumbs up!











the char kway teow stall is crowded as usual. long queue. quite unique and special coz lotsa greens and silver fish. not too oily too but char kway teow is hardly something u'll eat beli often, at least not in my case.

Had dinner wif the gers at liang seah st last nite.

den played pool for 3 hrs straight at end of purvis st, juz above singapore pools.

been so long since i last played.

we played doubles whereby HQ & moi selected Apple or Orange. but the funniest part was when we played free form.

we placed the balls randomly around the table and ended up wif mad scramble of 4 gers trying to shot the balls in at the same time. no need for white ball even.

AHS in the news

got a sms from baohuan tat ahs is in the news

as i read the article about how they haf complied a book《圣公会中学校史》for all new sec 1 students to stardee, i wonder if there will b any mention tat the skool song they r currently singing, is onli 5 yrs old!!

the song do not haf 50 yrs worth of rich cultural & linguistic heritage as the rest of AHS.

the vice principal has not replied to our query. i m getting impatient. i tink i'll gif him a call tomolo myself. i will make reference to tis article. after all, i still haf the book they published to commerate 30th anniversary.

isn't tis damn ironical? on one hand, they seem so proud of the heritage of AHS, yet on the other, they do something so ridiculous to destroy wat little ties we past cohorts have wif the skool.

yesh, i wana hold my head up high and sing the TRUE skool song of AHS tat has 45 yrs of history and not the modified version

and quoting the principal 文校长说:“以后,没有圣中学生会对他的母校历史感到陌生。”

well, u haf 45 yrs of past cohorts of students hoo will feel 陌生 towards the skool song lor!!

i wonder if the 圣中杰出校友如康长杰教授、罗华基、莫玮玮、陈向勤医生、何能恩博士、陈奕煌、周贤正主教、林国兴牧师、王明金牧师、陈晓朋博士、黄彩鸾、桂乃舜、何耀珊、朱伟义、符绩涵 noes abt tis. if not, den i tink the whole thing is quite sneaky lor!

actualli i posted tis entry after the words in bold. den started toking to baohuan again and i decided i need to add on.

to the principal's point of students not feeling 陌生 abt the skool's history...did they consider the feelings of us, the past 45 cohorts of students when they changed OUR skool song??

if they r onli concerned abt how future batches of students feel abt the skool, i feel like 45 cohorts of students have been disowned by the skool.

and we haf decided not to wait anymore. mi been in touch wif so many past AHS students over the course of last 2 wks...ran into jiajun, linked up wif lionel, weijian, even added hanchuan on frenster and met hanxian for lunch....wow! the law of attraction realli works lor!!

baohuan is drafting letter to send to zaobao in response to tis article. i'll call the principal tomolo and express our shock in wat the skool has done. we will restate our request for an explanation from the skool. and let them noe abt our concurrent course of action which is writing to zaobao & starting the petition. the sooner we create awareness of tis prob, the better it is. coz we reali want as many past students to b supporting tis cause as possible.

tis fight is not juz for us, it is to preserve AHS' history. it'll b beli sad if we choose to ignore how they haf wantonly thrown away our history, on the occasion of ahs' golden jubilee.

Are You A Good Kisser?

Your Results:

Play-By-Play Lip Locker
You make an attentive kisser because you enjoy the melding of you and your partner's kissing style. Depending on the mood and the moment, you may be more adventurous or more soft and gentle.
It may take you and your partner some time to really get down a compatible style, but once you do, kisses can become very intense because they are showing the deep connection you and your partner have with each other.
Make sure to allow things to happen naturally rather than focusing so much on technique. Be confident in your skills and open to new styles of kissing.

Steamboat buffet @ M hotel

was looking for dinner wif HQ when we passed by M hotel. decided to gif the steamboat dinner a try. the soup base ( we had tom yum & chicken ) is beli beli bland lor.








but the spread is alrite and i like the drunken prawns best.





























desserts was great. i was juz tinking of chocolate fondue in the afternoon. din expect to haf one at nite. yea! yea! mi ate so mani marshmallows.














the mango pudding was nice and we had some vanilla ice-cream too.

i came up wif the bright idea of using the chocolate from the fondue as topping for our ice-cream.

guess wat?? the chocolate solidified so quickly upon contact wif the ice-cream. we ended up wif chocolate coated vanilla ice-cream. lol, juz like those tat we had when young.

mi is paddle pop fan, i rem. for the chocolate flavour. suddenli got craving for more ice-cream.
