Goodbye my friends ;(

Found lots and lots of toys from in my storeroom. They used to be my friends when I was a kid until more serious and boring stuff such as growing up and school came along to replace them. I’m the only child and the only friends I had are toys when I was very small. Looking at them, I begin to feel truly blessed. It never dawn on me that my parents will dote on me so much! If any of you guys were present when I sort out my toys on friday, you’ll probably be envious of me. I remembered how I always make a nuisance of myself when I was a kid. Always wanting to buy a new toy whenever I go out shopping. My favourite hangout is the toys department at Sogo and Yohan (both have closed down). Me and my cousin will always combine our toys to play! But somehow his are always bigger than me All in the past now.

So ya, I basically collected toys from alot of series. Ghostbusters, He Man, Transformers (my fav!), MASK, Dinoriders, Batman, Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, Cars from Hotwheels and some random toys from somewhere. I am thankful to my parents for giving me all these toys but I’ll prefer them playing with me instead of self entertainment… Oh well, the results of both parents working.

Anyway, here’s the toys

House clearing

Started the saga of clearing my house on Thursday and boy… it sure ain’t an easy feat. I am very amazed at how much stuff my family managed to squeeze into the small confinements of our storeroom. Just look at the following pics

So you see all the stuff in my storeroom all laid out in my living room. Damn… How we managed to squeeze so much into a small storeroom is fascinating. And BTW, this cabinet has seen longer days of existence than I have. It looks like it’s been around since WWII, check it out

Old Cabinet 01

That’s old school right? Hell… I bet it could be older than my parents. I shall not describe more about the clearing process, pointless to say it out in a blog. An interesting thing to point out, I found so many shaver blades…

It is Friday again

Apparently, I’ve got too bored and too emotional damn early this morning. Like 1am? I wrote this short story down to express my sadness and pain. I’m supposed to look for inspirations for love songs to be used for my friend’s wedding but duno why only pain came to my mind…

It is Friday again. For Kenny, this day is quite awful. He has been scolded by his superior for committing a mistake in his calculations and he needs to rush out his report for his school assignment which is due the next day. Nothing seems to work out right for him and he goes home from work with a heavy heart. He leaves his office on the dot at 5pm and walks to the bus stop to wait for his regular bus to take him home. He can’t help but notice the joyful faces of some of his colleague.

“What’s there to be happy about? A bunch of idiots.”

Kenny is bitter that other people can afford to chill out on a Friday night while he has to rush out a school report.

“This damn work and studies lifestyle is killing me. I’ve got no social life due to this thing”

As he boards his regular bus, he finds a seat at the end of the bus and there is a young couple sitting in front of him. The boy is hugging the girl in his arms and whispering sweet nothings to her ears. This greatly irked Kenny as he has just been ditch by a woman who has been together with him for 2 years. Kenny raffled through his bag for his iPod and plugged into his ears to the chaotic music of Metallica. Heavy music is Kenny’s only form of enjoyment. Songs of pain, anguish and hatred filled his emptiness and sorrow. There is not a day he felt happy after his girlfriend of two years left him.

Metallica’s music did fill Kenny’s ears but it cannot erase the sight in front of Kenny. That greatly disturbed Kenny and he has to bear with it until they alight or he alights, whichever comes first.

“Why can’t they just stop it!?”

A journey that lasts only 15 minutes seems like an eternity to Kenny and Kenny quickly alights for he has reached home. As Kenny walked towards home, his thoughts are suddenly filled with memories of how she will hold his arm while walking that very same stretch of road. He swears that he can feel a sharp pain in his heart at that instant. Every step seems harder now for him.

He opened his house door and is displeased at what greets him, silence. He steps in and sees a note on the coffee table and it reads “Sorry son, we’ve got to visit your auntie. Get your own dinner”

He curses his luck but decides to calm down in order not to deteriorate his mood. He decides to take a shower to energise him and perhaps to lift his spirits up. As warm water comes rushing down on him, a flashback suddenly hits him.

“How does this feel?” A familiar voice seems to float to his ears. “Or here?” Sorrow begins to grip Kenny and he remembers that voice. It’s her voice, a voice so real but yet never there. He begins to touch his own body as he tries to remember that feeling once more, the feeling of her fingers on his body. He imagines the warm water to be her arms around him. Warm tears begin to fall down his eyes for he missed her so much, he yearn for her touch, her voice and her body again.

He remembered the first time they showered together, it seemed like the world was made perfect and that nothing else truly mattered for they had much joy together.

“NO!” Kenny growled. Reality has a bad habit of waking people from their dreams when it climaxes. “She’s no longer here!” Kenny reminds himself that she is in the arms of another man. Someone who she claims to have loved before Kenny, someone who claims that he will treat her better with his condo and fancy car.

“NO!” This time, Kenny punches the wall and the resultant pain caused him to forget about the pain in his heart. Wham! Wham! Kenny sends another 2 punches to the wall to further forget about his heartache.

Kenny feels so weak and he kneels down with the warm water flowing down on his body and his tears flowing like a broken dam down his cheeks. The thought of Tiffany being in another man’s arms right now is just too much for Kenny to take. Her hands no longer a source of comfort, her voice no longer a soothing medicine and her love no longer the source of inspiration.

Love me tender

I so totally love this song by Elvis Presley. Love me tender… I will wanna sing this song to a special someone. The lyrics is so meaningful and simple. I fell in love with Elvis’s smooth and soulful voice when I was a kid. The slow songs he sings never fail to make me sleep like a baby *chuckles* It was only after I grew up and fell in love with a girl then I realise how great this song truely is.

Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.

Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin’ I love you,
and I always will.

Love me tender,
love me long,
take me to your heart.
For it’s there that I belong,
and we’ll never part.

Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin’ I love you,
and I always will.

Love me tender,
love me dear,
tell me you are mine.
I’ll be yours through all the years,
till the end of time.

Max Payne: The Movie

Boring life

Recently began to feel my life is kinda boring with assignments and staying at home. I really wanna clear up my room soon and bring in new furniture. Maybe on thursday? I also realised I’ve been slacking off in my running. This sunday must go run with Siming, training for the Nike run next month. I’m kinda lazy to look for a job right now though I seriously think I must start soon. Oh well, time to bathe and work on my assignments. Gotta finish it up and go for a job later this evening.

Speaking of running, someone asked me why I like to run. I have no specific answer to that question. I guess it’s my way of keeping fit and healthy since I can’t really do any other sports due to my knee. I cant play soccer and I certainly cant play basketball as the turning, accelerating and jumping will put a strain in my knee. Therefore running seems like a sensible alternative. Furthermore, it’s a sport that I can do alone although running with a companion certain help me run an extra 2 kilometres

I’ve met some interesting people through the online wrestling game I’m playing right now. I’ve met Italians, Bulgarians, Englishmen, Americans. Interesting to see their countries in their own words. Which is downright sucky although there are some good things about their countries, seems like the bad stuff kinda outweighs it. Conclusion: Singapore is still better than what most of you guys think at least the low crime rate is a good point. Although there are recent lapse in security leading to MSK stil on the loose with a SG$1mil bounty on his head. In New Orleans, people can get stabbed in broad daylight and everyday, there’s people getting stabbed! You can get guns within an hour if you really want to. In London and Manchester, school kids stab each other in gang fights! Wow. I mean seriously, we don’t have shit like this here. So Singapore’s still kinda good. We can stay out late at night without fear of being gunned or stabbed or raped on the streets. Those guys told me once at night, they all go home, and never go out unless there’s seriously a need to. Coz going out means playing with your life. How bad is that?

Widget updates

Hi all, I’ve added some new widgets to the right. One is a box.net file sharing widget which I’ll used mainly to upload music for you to listen just what kinda music I’m rocking to these days. First off will be 2 songs from Apocalytica - I’m not Jesus feat Corey Taylor and the other is Apocalytica - Ion.

Burn money burn

My CD is ready for collection at Gramophone Centrepoint. And since I gotta go out, might as well use the time to go shopping (again). Bought some more shirts for my future work. Since they usually cost a bomb without the sale, might as well buy them now, save abit of money. The first place I went is Zara at Taka. Wanna check out whether the purple shirt is available at this branch. Turns out they don’t have……… Bought a turtleneck long sleeve Tee instead (never thought I’ll buy such stuff but it looks nice~) Duno why I suddenly thought of buying formal wear. will need some new shirts for my future work, so bought two at G2000. Oh ya, my fren Shawn, is at the Khiel’s new opening to help out. Wanna go there and see see look look but it’s crowded with people… So din go in at all. Then he SMSed me but I was oredi on my way to centrepoint liao (Next time we meet up ok)

Then went to gramophone to get my CD, Bullet for my Valentine - The Poison. Recommended by Yuzhen, so I gotta buy it. HMV selling for $28.90!! Then I ordered at Gramophone only $15.90! $13 saved… HMV really chops people’s head… Speaking of HMV, I tried my best not to enter Heeren coz I know I’ll find CDs of some obscure band and buy! Cannot le… Been spending too much of my bonus liao. Need to save it for my investments, bills, food, etc.

Shopped at Cassini for more shirts, but the colour and design look so old sia… In the end, only bought 1. Then walked to PS, wanna buy some “stickers” to deco some stuff. Wanna return something to someone but thinking of decorating it first and …. Cannot say… LoL.

That’s it… I busted my Friday by going out shopping. Sat and sun must really do my assignment liao 3000 word report, here I come…

Reunion then shopping

Went back to office to have lunch with my former colleagues. I gotta say the feeling to go back not working is great. I miss my colleagues at Singtel and felt kinda happy to see them again. The first thing Crystal said to me is “Oei your famous amos cookies how? Settle it ar I don’t care” What a reception… With me gone, the lunch party has increased in strength! What an injustice! I miss out all the fun! We went out for lunch coz Huiwen said I come back to office huh cannot eat canteen food, not very nice. Then surprisingly Guanhe obliged! That guy huh… during my 1 year contract he die die don’t wanna go out coz we wear formal, will be damn hot to walk out in the sun (actually I feel dat way too). Well, I don’t think he cares now since he has only 11 more working days left!

Went back to office after lunch to bump around. As usual, Asmah (my shifu) talked about r/s and stuff and marriage… I must admit everytime I hear, duno why will feel discouraged about finding a gf… She reminds me that women are troublesome (she admit to that!) And that guys die die must handle women’s mood change aka weather change. I can do that la, but then… don’t feel like doing it for a woman again… Or maybe someone can touch me enough to change my mind? Has she appeared? Will she appear? Even if she did, but I do not reciprocate, it’ll end up nowhere. True?

Anyway, after bidding everyone farewell and about to leave… kena stopped by Huiwen and Mira to help with their Excel problem. Can’t believe that without using excel for 1 week plus, it looks so alien to me “-.- “Tweet Tweet. Tweet Tweet. SMS~~” Meeting time changed from 4pm to 3:30pm. Wat the… So finally had to go le, not much time left.

Reached vivocity at ard 3:40, bought tix for Red Cliff. I’m still damn sure I told the cashier that it’s 5:50pm show! Angry… Don’t say le… After buying tix, shopped at Tangs to look for my new wallet. None is suitable for me, this just proves that Cindy’s wallet to me is still the best… Or I’m just too fussy or maybe it’s my subconscious mind telling me to find something better than before. Ended up at Marche for dinner or teabreak. Timing’s weird lo but anyway, Sharon like so lost inside the restaurant, her first time there then I explain how to use the marche card to make payments, etc. She still quite lost, so ended up ordering for her. Then chit chatted and eat, it was very enjoyable and relaxing, I like that feeling and the view outside the restaurant. God… I miss the Rosti… So nice. Kinda reminded me of how I cooked the Rosti at XXXXX so long ago

Watched movie, after that we followed the exit sign and ended up at the roof garden (WAT??). The moon is just so beautiful and the seaside… Oh god… I remembered how long it was ago since I sat down and looked at the sea at Esplanade. I miss those times…

Sharon wanted to visit the pet shop so went in with her. Wa lau eh… see those pets ar will make me melt… All furry animals… I want one too!!! But cannot la, if I have a pet I doubt it will survive for more than 1 month… Then Sharon told me she had a dog before until it went missing and now she’s interested in getting a new one. But for her tight schedule… I tell her to consider 1st, coz pets do need attention. Otherwise, why are they called 宠物?? From the chinese character, it means pamper and we know pampering needs time…

I wish to have a pet too… A nice Jack Russell that can accompany me for jogs will be comforting and a gf who can help me take care of it will be great. Dreaming againz… Then bought some boxes @ Daiso to contain my CDs, turns out that 4 boxes aint enough…. I “donated” so much money to the music industry sia…

Then did a quick shopping around Nike, Levi’s, Adidas, Fox then Zara. Saw some nice shirts and Ts at Fox but duno why my mood changed, don’t feel like shopping there so went to Zara. All along I thought Zara sells expensive shit… but due to the 50% discount, heck la! Go go go. Only a few items… ok erase that, only 1 caught my eye. A bright purple coloured shirt which looked so outstanding that I can’t help but feel like buying it, “sorry sir, no M size” HUH!???!!! How can… Tried out the dark blue and teal colours instead.

Comment: “Teal helps brings you out among the crowd” aka outstanding!

Comment: “Blue like normal normal” (personally I don’t like it too. I had similar blue coloured shirts before and they all don’t last long. One got bleached, one went missing)

I remembered making a comment that “I die die won’t wear purple colour coz it’s GAY!” But I guess after the change I went through, I probably don’t care about how it looks anymore, as long as I feel good in it, I don’t care. But will I get more stares from gays?? Tmr goto the Zara branch at orchard and see how ba. In the end, bought a dark purple shirt (of a diff design) on sale. Only $39.90! Trained home after buying the shirt coz must make sure someone gets home by 10. Chit chat abit and home safely~

PS: Many thoughts and feeling hit me during the whole day…
