I’ve been thinking if I should change my blog elsewhere which provides me with better facilities such as allowing me to load more photos and having better interface.

Any recommendations?

Yesterday was a very special day for 2 very important men in my life. It’s Mr Ling’s and Kaiwei’s birthday. I still remembered when I first found out that they both shared the same birthday, Kaiwei asked me how I am going to split my time between both of them. I clearly remembered my answer was to spend the eve of their birthday celebrating for Kaiwei and the actual day celebrating for Mr Ling.

However, Kaiwei was already in USA and that saved me the trouble of celebrating his birthday. Haha evil me. Nevertheless, I would not forget wishing this beloved friend a sincere "Happy Birthday" via a simple text.

Supposed to accompany Mr Ling to his medical checkup at the National Skin Center at 9.30a.m. However, the birthday boy overslept and by the time he woke up, he didn’t have time to pick me up. After discussing about the cost of me taking a cab down to the Skin Center, we both thought it’s better that he meets me after this checkup to save money. So in the end, I managed to catch a couple more hours of beauty sleep before meeting him.

He came over to my place and waited for me patiently to get ready to leave the house. It has been a long time since he came into my room and he is shocked to see that I still have so much stuffs in my room that I didn’t ship to London. I told him that I only shipped those essential stuffs to London and the remaining stuffs that he saw in my room aren’t going with me to UK. Anyway, I gave him the presents I’ve gotten for him. I bought him a Creative Webcam, it’s the same model that I’m using as well as a Braun shaver blade to replace his old one. We both know that his existing shaver blade is no longer doing the job and desperately needs to be replaced. And I know that Mr Ling would not want to waste the money in getting it replace as one of such blade is pretty expensive, so I decided to give it to him as a present.

We had "Teochew" porridge at the coffeeshop outside my place, this is one of usual dining place cos I love eating "Teochew" porridge. Initially, I wanted to bring him to a fancy restaurant for lunch but he said he would prefer to eat at a coffeeshop.

After lunch, we went back to his place to rest as he needs to send his car for servicing at about 3.00p.m. at the workshop behind his flat. In order to spend our time wisely, he dropped me off at a hair salon before visiting the workshop so that I can trim my hair and get a hair treatment. As he is a known workaholic, after he is done with servicing his car, he sneakily went for a meeting for his work, so I went over to his place to watch telly after I’m done with my hair. Because I was in his room the whole time, I didn’t even realized that the pipe in his mom’s room toilet has burst and the water flowed out from the toilet to his parent’s room. When he got home at about 7.00p.m., he got shocked and we ended up clearing the mess. Sigh…

We then headed to Katong to meet up with his 2 of his colleagues for dinner and then proceeded to Parkway Parade to meet up with his remaining colleagues for a drink at the McDonald’s cafe. His colleague got him a cake with a candle. I thought it was pretty awesome. The bunch of us just said there at the cafe, chatting and laughing. What a simple and down to earth way of celebrating Mr Ling’s birthday.

This is a really really old song and I’m not sure why at this very moment, the lyrics of this song just kept ringing in my mind. It’s ringing so loudly that it’s almost like it’s crying out loud to be heard. It’s just one of those days in my life that I’m in the mood for some philosophy about life.

Well everyone perceive life in a very different way and many times, the people you hang out with or your religion plays a very big part on how you look at life as a whole. Being a Christian, I am taught to be optimistic about life because I know "God is with me and no one can be against me". However, in reality, being truly optimistic is not exactly a simple task to do. In God’s teaching, as a Christian, we should always choose to do the right thing in every part of our life but how many times can we truly do that?

I find it hard to express myself at times and I think this is where music plays a big part in my life. To me, music is generally separated into 2 distinctive parts, the rhythm and the lyrics. I am definitely a very "lyric" person, the first thing about a song that would really catch my attention is the lyrics of a song. A great song with great lyrics is like a great poem and being a big fan of poetry (although I’m not considered an expert in this field), I just see it as a very beautiful piece of art. I’m amazed by the ability of song writers and poets who could put simple words together and make a sentence means more that what it’s suppose to mean.

I think this song is a simple example of how a song can bring out a philosophy of life. I bet many people would have heard and know of this song but have never truly give a serious thought about the meaning between the lines of this song. Actually come to think of it, there isn’t really many different words used in this song. I think I watched this movie during one of the days when I was still in Yishun Secondary. In my secondary school, we can rent the movies and watch them in a small room within the library which not many people are aware of and this is one of the movie that I watched. The tag line of this movie is "Friends are the people who let you be yourself and never let you forget it". This movie talks about many difficulties the 4 leading ladies faced in their lives and how their friendships sustain them during their difficult times.

This movie really showed us the importance of friendships and this song in it’s simple way has exhibited the very importance of life i.e. which is no matter good times or bad times, we must be strong and continue to exhale.

"Exhale"
- Sang by Whitney Houston
- Written by Babyface (One of my favorite singer cum songwriter)

Everyone falls in love sometimes
Sometimes it’s wrong
Sometimes it’s right
For every win
Someone must fail
But there comes a point when
When we exhale

Chorus:
Saying shoop shoop shoop
Shoo be doo shoop shoop yeah
Shoo be doo shoop shoop
(All you got to to say is shoo be doo)
Shoo be doo shoop shoop
Shoo be doo shoop shoop

Sometimes you’ll laugh
Sometimes you’ll cry
Life never tells us
The when or why
When you’ve got friends to wish you well
You’ll find your point when
You will exhale

Saying shoop shoop shoop
Shoo be doo shoop shoop yeah
Shoo be doo shoop shoop
(All you got to to say is shoo be doo)
Shoo be doo shoop shoop
Shoo be doo shoop shoop

Hearts are often broken
When there are words unspoken
In your soul there’s
Answers to your prayers
If you are searching
For a place you know
A familiar face somewhere to go
You should look inside yourself
You’re halfway there

Saying shoop shoop shoop
Shoo be doo shoop shoop yeah
Shoo be doo shoop shoop
(All you got to to say is shoo be doo)
Shoo be doo shoop shoop
Shoo be doo shoop shoop

Air tickets have been booked and I’m officially be flying on 13/08/2008 (Wednesday) @ 12.45p.m. in SIA A380 Business Class flight.

The initial plan was for me to fly on 08/08/2008 (Friday) but I’ve been told by most of my colleagues to try to get the flight on SIA A380. Called up SIA to check the dates which I can take the SIA A380 from Singapore to London and 13/08/2008 is the earliest possible. Honestly, I’ve no idea what is the big deal with this plane but it seems it’s the most luxuries plane that SIA have. Hopefully SIA over sell the economy class tickets and upgrade me to first class!! Wahahaha

Accommodation wise, for the first month, I’ll be staying in the "Circus Apartment" that will be fully paid by my company and subsequently, I’ll have to source for my own permanent accommodation. Credit Suisse have hired a property agent in London to help me out and I’m due to make an arrangement to meet up with her once I’m in London. On my part, I’ve also started searching for my permanent residence via the "http://www.intolondon.co.uk/" and "http://www.gumtree.com/" websites. Hopefully I can a really nice and affordable apartment!!

Feeling: Pretty excited now!!!

It’s scary when the departure date for me to leave my beloved country is drawing near….I’ve been doing loads of packing but every time, there just seems to be more things I think I should be bringing to London and there is no such thing as "I’ve brought enough."

Today, the Crown Relocation personnel who are in charge of my moving my stuffs via air freight came at 9.00a.m. to pack my stuffs. I’m given a total allowance of 114kg worth of stuffs to bring over to London. Before they weigh the stuffs I’m bringing, I thought I’ve already hit the limit of 114kg. However, after loading all my stuffs, it came up to 4 boxes which only weigh a total of 72kg. Thank God but at the same time I felt very "lu gee" cos I can still bring so much more. Then again, I really had no idea what else is there for me to bring lor.

After the movers left, I thought to myself that, actually I don’t really have a lot of things. I have practically moved all my stuffs to London and it only filled 2 big boxes and 2 small boxes. I’m not sure if this is a good or bad thing but at least, to a certain extent, I think I’m pretty mobile as I don’t have a lot of baggage if I had to move from one place to another.

This whole move to London thing has made me ultra emotional lately. It really made me think a lot, especially on the topic of who are the most precious people in your life!! After much thinking, it really boils down to the following people apart from your family and boyfriend:

- Shuyu
- Kunmu
- Kaiwei

Of the 3 people mentioned above, the person I think I’m going to miss the most has got to be Kunmu. He has really been there for me through thick and thin. He has done so much in my life that I will be forever grateful for and there is no way I can ever repay his kindness. I’m not even sure if he remembers what he has done for me.

Kunmu if you are reading this, I just want you to know that I’m grateful for the time you spent with me when Siva and I broke up. Thank you for spending time with me when Mr Ling and I broke up last year. Thank you for always being there for me when shit happens. Thank you for consoling me when I cry. Thank you for everything you have ever done, no matter how small it can be, I am grateful.

Honestly, I never thought that I’ll be missing this special friend so much until now. I never truly realize how important Kunmu is to me!! I guess because I always take it for granted that whenever I am in trouble or when I am upset, he is by default by my side. And now that I’ll no longer have him around when I’m in London, I then realize his importance.

I was telling Kaiwei the other day about this and he agrees that Kunmu is indeed very important to me. Especially when Kaiwei is away in Arizona working and Shuyu can only meet me twice per week, Kunmu is the only person who is always there for me 24/7. Over the years, Kunmu has really been the one person who is constantly there for me.

I really really hope that Kunmu can find his true happiness soon.I know that whoever is his girlfriend will be the luckiest girl cos he has so much love to offer. Don’t be deceive by his appearance!!! Like he always said "wo heng chou ke shi wo heng wen rou" or rather we always said that about him. He has got to be the most faithful man I’ve seen, when he loves a person, his love is steadfast and everlasting.

Kaiwei and I have been spending a lot of time with him recently, cos this time round after Kaiwei leave for Arizona, I’ll also be leaving for London and Kunmu will be all alone in Singapore. At least last time after Kaiwei leave, there is still me constantly bugging Kunmu.

Dear God, please bless Kunmu in all the ways possible. Let him have the happiest life that he can ever imagine. Bless him in all aspect of his life, his career, his family and his relationship.

Feeling: So bless to have known Shuyu, Kunmu and Kaiwei

Went to do my hair at Raffles Place in the afternoon and wasn’t happy with the outcome, therefore, I decided to do some shopping to get rid of the unhappiness. Guess what, I’ve bought 2 more pairs of shoes…wahahaha….When I told Kunmu, Kaiwei and Mr Ling….they all faint….cos I’ll be like shipping 2 boxes of shoes to London already and I’m still buying more shoes to add on to my existing collection…

The shop I went to didn’t have my size, so I’ll only be able to collect my new shoes a couple of days later. I’ll load the photos of my new babies and justify my purchase. They are simply irresistible to a shoe lover like me. **wink** **wink**

KKK = Kunmu + Kaiwei + Kaixin

We are the newly declared KKK gang…hehe

I’ve known both of these dudes for ages now…come to think of it, it’s been 13 years since I’ve known both of them!!! Wah…

Was on leave yesterday because I had to do some serious packing for my trip to London, as the people who are in charge of shipping my stuffs are coming over on Friday to check the stuffs I’m bringing.  Woke up really late due to the KTV session the night before with Ah Yu and her sister which ended at about 2.45a.m….

Started packing and packing and my room seems more and more messy…sigh…it seems like I’ve thrown away a lot of stuffs but the room still seems like there are lots more to throw away…aiyo…over the years I’ve like collected so much rubbish lor…haiz…

Anyway, met up with the other Ks for our "Crab Eating Session" at the so called famous stall in Ang Mo Kio but seriously lor, I think the crabs there are so so only leh…don’t know why people think that it’s that fantastic lor.

After dinner, we headed to this "Die Da Sinsei" place as Kaiwei injured his hand a couple of months back. Once there, the sinsei started rubbing some oil on Kaiwei’s back and then started doing this "Gua Sha"…immediately we saw his back turning red and he was sweating like mad and said it’s painful.

Kunmu and I were laughing at Kaiwei cos we said he is really "zhong du tai shen" that’s why those red patches appear. According to the sinsei, the red patches show that there are blood clog on his back and that his injury has prevented the blood from circulating properly. Wah….this is the first time I’ve seen and heard this.

Therefore, we decided to "you fu tong xiang you nan tong dang", we requested the sinsei to do the same to Kunmu to check if he is also "zhong du tai shen". Hehehe evil me cos I know I don’t have to do this "gua sha" thingy cos I’m a girl and the sinsei can’t do that to me…wahahahaha….in the end, as we have expected, Kunmu also became a red lobster…

But Kunmu didn’t complain that it was painful or anything…he is really "nan ren zhong de nan ren"….wah admire admire….Actually I did video clip down the process of the "gua sha" session on Kunmu but unfortunately, I can’t load them onto this blog. Sigh….it’s pretty amazing though.

Kunmu and Kaiwei think that it’s unfair that I didn’t get the torture that they had and they wanted me to have a taste of it too, they requested the sinsei to check if my legs are ok. I was really scared cos I saw how scary the truth can be and also I’ve no freaking idea how painful it can be as well lor!!! At first when the sinsei was rubbing my leg, the pain was still bearable….

But as he continued!!! Aaahhhhh help help…..

Based on the photo above, you can just imagine how painful it was. I had to hold on to Kunmu and eventually I even jumped out of the chair that I was sitting. The sinsei asked me to allow him to rub further to "cure" me and I was like over my dead body lor. Kunmu and Kaiwei finally talked me into getting "cured" and so the sinsei did some kind of a "qi gong" thing on my leg and the next moment the pain is completely gone. I kid you not, it’s so amazing that I am still figuring out the logic behind it!!!

The final conclusion is that I’m the healthiest among all…wahahaha….The sinsei proceeded to give Kunmu and Kaiwei this weird drink that looks like "ju hua cha" and gave them their medication…what an experience. But the best part of all, is that we did these together as the KKK and I would like to think of it as it has bonded us to a completely different level…

Feeling: Kunmu and Kaiwei are such precious friends to me.

Today marks the last day I saw the Red Palm Treo 680…sob sob….sold it to a nice guy called Peter via Hardwarezone. Made a loss but I guess it’s better to sell it now then later to prevent more losses. After using it for around a couple of months, I would say that Palm Treo 680 is probably the easiest handphone to sync and install softwares with. I’ve tried installing softwares to Windows Mobile OS but I find it much harder to do it as compared to Palm OS. The main reason for me to sell off this baby is probably because my appetite for latest gadgets have increase tremendously. Apart from that, the sad thing about this phone is that it doesn’t have WIFI function and doesn’t support Chinese texting. All in all, it’s still a pretty awesome phone if it’s for normal pda purpose.

Now I’ve switched back to my old beloved phone, my Samsung i600 which hasn’t fail me yet. I’ve decided to install some cool software to this phone and really personalize it until I’ve found a new phone that can satisfy my appetite.

I love you Mr Ling!!!
