I've 'come home'

from my cousin's wedding, and well pictures will be up soon. It was really really fun to see all of that, especially the part where they snatch the bride!! The food is really good too, but the groom's suit was too boring, just plain black.

i want my earth grey or white suit or light brown suit, with a nice shirt inside!! and bow tie??

你能分清楚爱和喜欢吗？

喜歡和愛咫尺千里。

當你喜歡一個人時，你想和他在一起，因為他會帶給你快樂；離開後，你會想念，想著想著就會笑，然後繼續你平靜的生活，並期待著與他再一次重逢。

When you like a person, you want to be with him, because he makes you happy; after you leave him, you might smile when you think of the him, and life goes on and you wish that one day might meet him again.

當你愛一個人時，你想和他在一起，那是一種牽腸掛肚的捨不得，怕他受委屈，怕他不能好好照顧自己；離開後，你也會想念，想著想著歎一口氣，'不知他現在過的怎樣？' 然後你繼續你平靜的生活，希望他早日回到你身邊。

When you love a person, you want to be with him, you don't want to let him go, you're afraid that he would suffer, afraid that he cannot take care of himself. When he is no longer in your life, you will also miss him, but you will sigh and wonder how is he doing now. Life goes on as normal and you hope that he would return to your side one day.

你喜歡的人在你眼中是天使，無所不能，他總會滿足你的任性的要求。你愛的人在你眼中是孩子，傻傻的，你不期望他做出什麼'好事'來，只一味縱容他那些讓人哭笑不得的舉動。

In your eyes, the person you like is like an angel, willing to do what you ask him to. The person you love however is just like a child in your eyes, the silly boy whose every action makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time.

你會希望你喜歡的人陪著你，然而你心中想的可能是你愛的人；你會希望陪在你愛的人身邊，看他在你面前睡得如此安逸甜美毫不設防的樣子，你會微笑，會覺得好幸福。

You will want the person you like to be by your side but in your heart, you could be thinking of the one you love. And if the one you love is sleeping beside you, seeing that peaceful and vulnerable face will bring a smile to your face and you will feel blessed.

你喜歡的人傷害了你，你會生氣，並且一定要讓他哄著騙著逗你笑你才原諒他；你愛的人傷害了你，你只會獨自傷心，因為你怕對他大吼大叫會嚇著他，你憂傷地微笑著，看著他的眼睛，一旦發現他的眼裡流露出歉意和悔恨，你會立即心疼地摟他在懷裡，那一刻，你也是幸福的。

If the person that you like hurts you, you would get angry and you would only forgive him after he has pacify you. But if the person you love hurts you, you would swallow it down because you don't want to scream at him. You would look at him in the eyes and when you see that his eyes is filled with remorse and guilt and even tears, you will 心疼 him so much that you will embrace him and tell him it is alright. In that moment, you are blessed and in bliss.

你可以同時喜歡很多人，你會希望和很多人在一起，但也許很多年後你才發現，原來你愛的就只有那麼一個，就那麼一個，怎麼都不會變，你以為把他忘記了，其實只是忙的沒空想起而已，

You can like many people at the same time, and wish to be together with many of them, but after many years, you may realize that there's only one person whom you really love, and it has never changed. You may think that you have forgotten, but you were just to busy to remember.

對於你喜歡的人，你關注的是他的優點；對於你愛的人，你關注的是他的缺點，並且，那些缺點如果無關原則的話，它們在你眼裡是可愛的，獨一無二的。

You focus on the good points of the person you like, but for the person you love, you focus on his flaws, but these flaws are endearing to you, they are unique flaws in him that you find so cute.

喜歡和愛其實只有一紙之隔，任何愛都從喜歡開始，當有天你突然發現，你喜歡的那個人在你眼中不再完美，而他的瑕疵正如月中的桂影一般讓你更加依依不捨，你會覺得與他光彩照人的一面相比，你更願意看他在你面前無助的表情，不知道是不是應該祝賀你，總之，你的感情昇華了

仰慕不是愛，甚至不是喜歡，當你對一個人只有仰慕之情時，你們在一起便失去了和諧。

有人說愛一個人很累，的確是，因為你想為他承擔，可是愛與喜歡相比最大的魅力就在於，

They say that loving a person is tiring, and indeed it is because you want to share any burden with him, but perhaps the biggest difference between love and like is that...

當你和愛的人在一起時，你的感覺就像回家了！

.. when you're together with the person you love, you feel like you have come home.

让我照顾你

因为最关心你的人是我

Random shots over the days

I went cycling a couple of days back from East Coast all the way to Changi Village and had the nasi lemak there! Of course i needed to stop by the runway to look at the planes:

The SAF Ferry Terminal, such fond, and not-so-fond memories of my BMT days, waiting here for the ferry to bring us away from civilization:

Running around Haji Lane and Katong and Siglap:

Jem forgot to capture the shoes i was trying on into this shot!!

This is a damn good idea for a fish tank!

Inspired by Little Nonya, we had Peranakan food

Damn nice show!!!!!!! go watch

梁靜茹 - 可惜不是你

梁靜茹-可惜不是你

这一刻突然觉得好熟悉

像昨天今天同时在放映

我这句语气原来好像你

不就是我们爱过的证据

差一点骗了自己骗了你

爱与被爱不一定成正比

我知道被疼是一种运气

但我无法完全交出自己

努力为你改变

却变不了预留的伏笔

以为在你身边那也算永远

仿佛还是昨天

可是昨天已非常遥远

但闭上双眼我还看得见

可惜不是你陪我到最後

曾一起走却走失那路口

感谢那是你牵过我的手

还能感受那温柔

那一段我们曾心贴着心

我想我更有权力关心你

可能你已走进别人风景

多希望也有星光的投影

努力为你改变

却变不了预留的伏笔

以为在你身边那也算永远

仿佛还是昨天

可是昨天已非常遥远

但闭上双眼我还看得见

可惜不是你陪我到最後

曾一起走却走失那路口

感谢那是你牵过我的手

还能感受那温柔

可惜不是你陪我到最後

曾一起走却走失那路口

感谢那是你牵过我的手

还能感受那温柔

感谢那是你牵过我的手

还能温暖我胸口

young men are too drama, old men are too jaded

Such a lovely title isn't it? Something of the sort where we can imagine collection of short stories, from love stories to the not-so-love-story.

I just realized that I haven't updated much here, and sometimes I wonder what is the purpose of a blog afterall these days. When I was much younger (refer to my 2001 posting for reference), I used to blog a whole lot more, and I remember that this blog is like a diary for me, for me to pen down the goings in my life, so that I can remember. I still remember this "code" that a blog is as much like a bedtime diary just that people can read. I also remember arguments we had (Alanna and I and others) have over other people's issue with our postings; essentially they had issues with what we said and I remember telling those people that if you don't like what you are reading, then stop reading it (like Duh!)

But as I grew older, I (well we actually) bought a real paper diary in which I pen down my most most personal thoughts, thoughts and feelings which I am starting to think that people should not and need not know about, as opposed to some other thoughts and feelings which I think can be shared. Its like there are things which I want to tell all my friends, and I would love to say it to them, but sometimes repeating it is quite tiring.

Then there are other reasons such as the issue itself, and public viewing. And as I am typing this, I think of times when I think of how to disguise what I am trying to say such that it is obvious but not obvious enough.

I am going to continue to blog, especially when my interest to 'bitch' about certain topics is still alive and burning. I am really starting to think about how much change one goes through as we grow and mature. Our personality stays the same but manifests itself in different manner. So what am I trying to say here?

Young men are too drama and old men are too jaded!!

Yeah I Dunno Why I'm Feeling Kinda Blue

Yeah I Dunno Why I'm Feeling Kinda Blue

We sailed over seven seas
Won't you let me catch you fall
What are you looking at
I'm ms american dream since i was 17

Goodnight sweetheart its time to go
When you beat on that drum
I'm trying not to stare
Some say the heart is just like a wheel

Mystery the moon
Who made up all the rules
And even though the moments passed me by
Dad your boy is about to fall

It's hard to remember how it felt before
There's another world inside of me
This is where the summer ends
If I am lost for a day try to find me

Lovin' you is easy cause you're beautiful

You're asking yourself what's real

Wait in line till your time

How can I tell you what I'm feeling

#######

Damn cool right? How did i do it? Put your mp3 on Shuffle and write the first line of the next 20 songs. The 21st song will be the title. I only used english songs! Amazing how this actually conveys how i feel!

The Man Who Can't Be Moved

The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not... broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I've been in love with you...

Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Policeman says son you can't sit her,
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.

Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

People talk about the guy
Whos waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There on no hole in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm

Maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
Cos you'll know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...

Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
[Repeat in backgroung]

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move.

I WANT AN IPHONE~!!!!!

I WANT AN IPHONE!!

I want the 3G 16gb one, anybody, 2nd hand selling??!?!

Take my hand, I'll take the lead

DAMN FUNNY AD!!

I will follow you into the dark

The car's backseat

it takes very little

for us to realize how much someone means to you, and it takes even less for you to know why you loved that someone so much in the first place.

The Lucky 800 post, but its basically bitching...

about a lot of things.

I mean ARGH!! i am such a control freak. but how does one help it whenever I don't do as much, or control is as much, then things become sub-standard. There's really only so many people I can trust to let things go as they should and still have know that it will come out right.

Nothing really specific but more generic reflection of my personality. Friends have said I should loosen up, perhaps. Oh, but I am such a bitch some times! Its like I can't control the boiling feeling inside when things are sub-standard, or you know that things are happening that will have adverse effect when all that needs to be done is to shut up, move people away or do everything by myself. At least I can be sure of the quality, and if it sucks, then its all my fault, cos I suck (which incidentally i noted to ayline, mark and choo yuan that i indeed suck at many things!!! HAHAHAHA)

LOOSEN UP kiezin, don't be so anal retentive, take it easy and breathe!!

drooling over

The new Macbook Pros!!!! omg they are like sexiest thing alive. the build quality is sooooooo good (from one solid brick of aluminum) feels like its build by the aerospace industry.

and the new LED cinema display, that is the future of the new desktop!! Go home, plug in your laptops to the big screen LED (which also charges up your laptop, so you really only need one powerpoint) and when you're ready to go, just unplug the laptop. WOOOAAHH!!

Did I mention they are all LED display?!?!

2nd half of the semester

The 2nd half of the semester is always filled with ridiculous amount of work waiting to be handed in. Its always a punishment for lazy boys like me.
