伊能静--念奴桥

I was wondering why is call 念奴娇, since the whole song never mention. til I came across this poem. This song is so freaking suitable for the new Three Kingdom movie.

念奴娇·赤壁怀古（苏轼）
大江东去,
浪淘尽千古风流人物.
故垒西边, 人道是,
三国周郎赤壁.
乱石崩云, 惊涛拍岸,
卷起千堆雪.
江山如画, 一时多少豪杰
遥想公谨当年，小乔初嫁了，雄姿英发。
羽扇纶巾，谈笑间、樯橹灰飞烟灭。
故国神游，多情应笑我，早生华发，人生如梦，一尊还酹江月。

Why I choose not to watch The Transformers.

2007-07-10T14:07:00.000+08:00

I know, I know, it's a great movies, I got tons of friends from my era hyping over it.
I actually wanted to watch. But decided not to after watching the trailer. I decided to wait for the DVD instead in respect of someone I dear.

Make a wild guess? I decided not to watch because of Optimus Prime.
I feel the movie totally spoil my impression of the whole memories I had when I was young, gluing to the TV watching this cartoon during the kampong days (when I went my grandma's place in malaysia every holidays)

I just can't accept what they did to dear old opti.
I will let the pics speak for itself.

My memories:

What they had done:

I can't barely recognized my dear old friend when I see the trailer, imagine the heartpain I felt.

It's like you have a dear old friend that u lost contact but have fond memories off, but when u see him, you can't barely recognize him, he had changed totally, inside out. I bet there are people's out there that the same way I do.

Dear Opti, What had they done to you ??!!!!

In reply to the post of City Harvest Cult

2007-01-23T14:11:00.000+08:00

In reference to you blog entry, I would like to comment on some of the stuffs you had wrote.
But prior to that I would like to declare that I'm a Christian, I was from CHC and was there at the same service as you.

1. The Rock Band you had mention is call "Delirious"

2. The Jumping is the culture of CHC, and it's not the manifestation of the Spirit, just like jumping in a rock concert.

3. No Negligence is involved because this world as of now belongs to Satan before Christ reclaim it, we (Christians) are just doing our best to help.

4. In order to quote Deut 8:20, you need to read verse 19
"Then it shall be, if you by any eans forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods. and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perished.
Deuteronomy is the fifth book of Moses, written when they (Jews) were in the Promised Land when they are being lead out of Egypt. It's their "Law Book"
The whole chapter is call "Remember the Lord Your God", putting the importance of the Lord into the heart of the Jews.

5. Matthew 19:24 "And again I say to you, it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God".

This is metaphorical speaking. It's means the level of difficulty for a rich man (of the world) to enter the kingdom of God" This is further emphasies in Matthew 6:19-21 "Lay Up Treasures in Heaven"
v19. "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy an thieves break in and steal;
v20. "but lay up yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
v21. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

6. City Harvest Claims they have put up their Financial reports.

7. Deuteronomy 22:5 (Women were not allowed to wear Jeans). I would like to stress again, as in point 4, this law is applicable to the Jews which Moses had lead out of Egypt.

8. There's a Creator. Yes, we disavowing Evolution & Big Bang. Follow more in depth material read Creationism.

9. We are Fallen. I can't help but laugh at your understanding of the genesis story. Humans are created perfect. (Gen 1:26 - 31). We had fallen because of the Temptation Satan give (Gen 3)

10. Restoration. Please, Christian based their faith on the Bible. What, Pagan Origins of Christ Myth, Book of Judas and stuff are all material used to shaken Christian fatih.
Is 8:20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

11. Jeremiah 29:8-9 "for thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, decieve you, nether hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
Read Jeremiah 29:1 Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remainder of the elders who are carried away captive - to the priests the prophets, and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon.
The prophets and diviners Jeremiah referring to are those of Idol worshippers being held together with these bunch of elders in Babylon (which is a place of Idols)

12. Know, Apply, Live the Word (logos)
This is applicable for the Christian, with constant reading of the Word, then you will have the Word coming to life (Rhema) Practical examples, Jesus's healing ministry.

13. God don't hate amputees. What's you logic behind it may I ask?

I will be gladly trying to answer your questions if you had any with my limited knowledge of the Word. Do note that I may take some times for the more difficult ones, through consultations with my elders.

God Bless You.
Lupin Tan.

At what price, Justice?

2007-01-08T10:00:00.000+08:00

I had just finished watching Death Note and Death Note 2. The movie is not that great but it's the concept that kept me thinking til this very post.

What is Justice? At what price do you have to pay for Justice? What will you do if you have the power to control Justice?

Imagine you are Yagami Light, how would you use the Death Note? Or imagine the Death Note ended up @ the hands of L, will he do use it the way as Light?

Lots of question entered my mind and stayed there. I went to find the definition of Justice in the Web, I went in depth into the comics to understand the characters.

I come to this conclusion. It 's not possible to hold Justice in human's standards cause human's view differ.

Do watch Death Note & Death Note 2, read the comics.

The Evolution of The PoolBoy.

2006-12-06T11:27:00.000+08:00

OMFG, I'm already 26 and I'm still a freaking Poolboy.

This is how I seeing myself evolving.

As I grow older before I found my true love from Poolboy to The BackRubber.
(Hey, I hope to totally skipped this phase)

Eventually I will find my true love and I will evolve from The BackRubber to The Slow Dancer.
(This will be the early years with Her)

Finally, as I grow even older, I will evolve from The Slow Dancer to The Gentlemen.
(What I always hope I would like to be like)

This is the test I took, to my readers (as if there's alot) do try, and let me know if u want.

The PoolBoy

2006-12-05T17:45:00.000+08:00

Read My Result
Take the Test

Friendly and eager. You are The Pool Boy.

A teen at heart, you anxiously move about your daily tasks, hoping, praying for a good, instant lay. You're carefree, enthusiastic, and rarely discouraged. Love is cool, but it's not for you right now. You know what is? Crotches.

You're a fun person in both big and small groups, and your friends trust and love you. Inside you, meanwhile, your lust is only growing. Imagine your beating heart sprouting pubic hair. Exactly. Try shaving that.

Your exact opposite:
The False Messiah

Deliberate Brutal Love Master
If you're not scoring enough--which you aren't--you should adopt new strategies. Lower your standards. Be aggressive. Pool Boys are often submissive and hope (desperately) sex will find them. Realize that passiveness will not hook the horny girls you desire. A bolder approach and sheer repetition will.

When browsing OkCupid, consider both The Dirty Little Secret and The Playstation.

ALWAYS AVOID: The Battleaxe, The Priss

But who's reading anyway. Let me count. My sis, HB, an old classmate of mine. Mooiness sometimes. I think that's about it. hahaha.

Anyway, I don't blog for other, it's more for memories sake.

So Lately, what had I been doing.

Working. 3 job. 1 main job, 2 part time.
The part time namely a saturday stint @ LAN shop that brings in another $160-$200 per month.
Another is Conch, Honey selling (Real honey, not pimp related job).

Friends I knew ask me, why so hardworking of a sudden, got girlfriend izzit? The answer is no.
Still no girlfriend, but I think why not spent the time more wisely. I mean, not that I really short of money or oweing loan sharks (though I always tell them I owe loan sharks). Why don't want more money. I do.

I'm busy one thing for sure. No time for gym, trying my best to go salsa. Missed Church. I need to proper adjust my time. So everyone bare with me.

So that's wat I had been to lately. I hope to blog more. but til then, take care everyone.

In Denial of Gambling, $6 Million Dollar Toto.

2006-10-10T15:05:00.000+08:00

First of all, those who know me well will know that I don't gamble, and I lived by the philosophy of "不赌就是赢家".

Even though I'm a Christian, I won't go biblical on the entry. Anyway, I used to bet Toto, scocer, play abit of DaDi during Chinese New Year, but I had since quitted knowing that God won't blessed me finanically through those avenues. Enough of that.

Anyway. So I came across this article dated 3rd October 06 titled "Mahjong, 4-D not gambling but recreation says 1 in 2" I was like what the? I means, I think society had greyed this whole gambling thingy. What is gambling anyway.

From dictionary.com, gambling means

gam‧ble
–verb (used without object)
1. to play at any game of chance for money or other stakes.
2. to stake or risk money, or anything of value, on the outcome of something involving chance: to gamble on a toss of the dice.
–verb (used with object)
3. to lose or squander by betting (usually fol. by away): He gambled all his hard-earned money away in one night.
4. to wager or risk (money or something else of value): to gamble one's freedom.
5. to take a chance on; venture; risk: I'm gambling that our new store will be a success.
–noun
6. any matter or thing involving risk or hazardous uncertainty.
7. a venture in a game of chance for stakes, esp. for high stakes.

I want to focus on the word/phrase "Play at any game of Chance".
So which game is a game of Chance? to me 4-D and Toto, Horse-betting, Slots, Sports Betting are.

Mahjong, Mmnnnnn, just as long as you play little, but I not into it anyway. A whopping 52% of chinese says that gambling is nothign wrong? Wasted money on chances? Geezz.

81% says that it's ok to gamble once in a while as long as it is not done excessively. Ya Rite, how excessive is excessive. How to you draw the line? hahahahah.

To say, I don't condemn anyone who gamble, it's their lifestyle, who am I to judge yea? I just like to give my 2 cents worth.

Today's Article on this

All the best to everyone
Lupin Tan.

290906 - Day One

I don't really know if I will get fired for this or not, but I took leave to work in this part time/ side line of mine. Selling honey and beauty products. Anyway, The crowd is super thin because of NATAS and lack of publicity. But it went by slowly as anticipated. I clocked zero sales. ZERO!!! Anyway, I made a very bad mistake of asking a girl that she look like someone I know which she does (I only found out that I saw her in church before, CHC) I think I left a bad impression in her, thinking I going after her (hooking her up), btw she's married.(found out later). Didn't work around that much. Went home with Serene, took the fast track home.

300906

Can't really wake, tired, went to Serene's home to play with Ah Boy again. Ah Boy is getting cuter each day. Got to know Amber from Singapore Heart Foundation & Mabel from Prudential. Though there are crowd as compared to friday, it's still very thin as compared to wat we anticipated. The sales is better, though I only clocked one.

OMG, it's children day and I had to work, same, went to Serene house to play with ah boy. then we went to eat prata near her house, quite nice. then Eric picks us up. I clocked qutie a fair bit of sales today. but half the time was @ the stage area. I even went up the stage to "perform" importu in a AIDs prevention skit. Muahahahaha. Before the day end, I bid goodbye to all the friends I made, and endured a waiting game on way home (Everyone is packing, including NATAS, causing jams behind the halls).

Gyming (240906)

2006-09-25T17:45:00.000+08:00

Actually, gyming went on as a breeze, it's wat happen after that, that's worth writing.

On my way home, I met up with David, a.k.a 小老鼠.

I got to know 小老鼠 during one of my part time job. It was also then when I got to know 八月老大.

So 小老鼠 say ask me join him for a while, later he send me home. End up we went tanglin mall to buy some moseralla cheese, then go back boat quay to pass the cheese. Then go TPY to fetch 2 gals for dinner (I didn't eat lah, mom cook). Then send one girl back to TPY another follow us as 小老鼠 send me back.

Two young girls, don't bother asking me how they look like. Below par. hahahaha.
One of them try to chat with me cause I quite bored over their conversation topics, BGF and stuff.

The joke of the night is on the way back. I was giving 小老鼠 directions. At one point I was saying "Straight". The young girl in the car thought I was asking whether is she straight or not. She answer "yes" to me, I pretended not hearing her, and emphasize the direction "straight" again to 小老鼠.

I seriously don't know how u can render advice to a total stranger that you just know just from the conversation u are hearing. Naive. hahahaha.

Still young.

Thailand Coup

2006-09-20T09:42:00.000+08:00

coup

n 1: a sudden and decisive change of government illegally or by force [syn: coup d'etat, putsch, takeover] 2: a brilliant and notable success

You guys should know now that I'm into politics. Partly because of me self studying economics.

CNN News on Thailand Coup

You guys should also heard about Thailand's latest coup by the military while the (ex)PM is away in NY.

Politically, I feel that the Military will stay for at least 2-3 months before handing over (if they really intended to).

Economically, it will deal another major blow to the already weak form with foresight that the market will close at leat 3-6% during the first trading day. I would advise ppl to refrain from selling and buy up (high risk trader) as much as possible. Thai baht will drop at least a full 10% against the dollars.

Prayers goes to my immediate boss Mr Woon who was there and Ralph (my Salsa pal).

And to my Piggy Sis. Er, better cancel ur decemember trip, mom won't let u go one.

Chivalry.

2006-09-19T13:43:00.000+08:00

chivalry

n 1: courtesy towards women [syn: gallantry, politesse] 2: the medieval principles of knighthood

Heard over Morning Express today that Glen and FD are talking about Chivalry. Glen quoted from Rod that Chivalry is dead. He agrees with that, so does FD, and so do I.

Yes, Chivalry is dead, so is the lady.

First of all, I would like to say, on my part, I trying my best to uphold chivalry, I tried my best being a gentlemen in front of ladies. Lupin by the name of it means gentlemen anyway, cause it's a adaptation of a novel whom Lupin is a gentlemen thief.

But yes, Chivalry is throughly dead. In generally anyway. The things is I bet there are still guys like me around, trying their very best to be a gentlemen.

The thing is, women had been complaining about man being MCPs and stuff. But what about them? Like I said earlier, the female counterpart to a gentlemen is also dead. So generally, to all my females friends and female out there, touch your heart and think. Look at yourself before you comment on guys.

Will we ever return or revive such chivalry? I doubt so but hope so.

Current MSN: "You will always be know as Pluto to me"

The ex-planet that was used to be called Pluto.

2006-09-15T09:00:00.000+08:00

Mickey : Pluto, what you doing?
Pluto is hiding in his kernel refusing to come out.
Mickey : Pluto, come out boy, come for you breakfast.
Pluto still refusing to come out.
Minnie : He's sad, Mickey.
Mickey : Why?
Minnie : He was out running yesterday happily when the neighbours started calling him 134340 instead of Pluto.
Mickey (Angryily) : What?
Minnie : Cause the planet pluto is being demoted to a mere asteriod.
Mickey: Pluto, come here boy, we will always love you, and you will always be known as Pluto to us.
Minnie: Yah.
Pluto walk out to be patted by both Mickey and Minnie.

Ok, When the International Astromical Union (IAU) demoted Pluto to a 'dwarf planet', I'm still quite ok. But they really cross the line when they further demoted Pluto to a mere asteriods with a degoratory tag of : 134340. It sounds so convict to me.

So to the planet Pluto, you will always be know as Pluto to me. Fear not, and I shall pass you name down as what I had know you since young to my next generation. Heck to wat the IAU say.

2006-09-13T10:14:00.000+08:00

Went Salsaing.

That was after dinner with Serene. Had Kolo Mee around chinatown.
Not that fantastic.

OK, back to salsaing, arrived @ union quite early. Wait around, crowd start coming in. Then came Chloe & grace. I danced quite little. But managed to dance with "Miss 85". (Chloe, I used this only for now). Actually, I kinda know her name. Not that pretty when seeing her on close.

Then in came Zilah and Ralph. This pair make quite a dance combo, with Ralph personal wacky dance in contrast to Zilah's sultry/sexy. The interaction when they are dancing and such is flawless, like a couple flirting. hahaha.

Anyway, I managed to practices some of the moves I learnt with Zilah. She's a great teacher.

On way home, Chloe pointed out my flaws, I promised to them (my returning-home buddies, namely Chloe and Derrick) that I will try to chance.

I think I stop here. Tomorrow, gyming again. But prior to that, maybe I drop by serene's workplace to dicuss something with eric.

It's been 2 week since I gymed. So for the day schedule, I going light. I did weights, going for more reps than pushing the limit. So I didn't sweat that much.
Was talking with Zee, I got to know him in gym, about work, gyms, dances, gays even.

you see, Over @ gym, it's the gays that is more prominent. Straight guys like me form the minority.

At the point of penning, I felt abit pain on the muscle. Maybe due to lack of stretching, maybe due to the long break.

BTW, I met Chloe also. We went back home together cause we were living around the same area.

Body: Duh!!!!
Soul: Chloe & Zee.

"When A Gal Marries, She Exchange the Attentions of Many Men to the In-attention of One" - MSN Title of a Army Pal.

I would like to correct this. Normally when the gal marries, she carry the impression that that one man is worth sacriface for the attentions of those many men. She thought that the attention of this one man worth is only to realise down the marriage road that it ain't so much the truth. Many end up in divorces, some lives on with it.

When Will I Ever Know 'The One'?! - Posted by BM

I once discussed this topic with Sammi in regards on relationship. Who would you settled for?

1. The one you loved but don't loved you.
2. The one you don't loved but loved you.
3. The one you don't loved and he/she don't love you.
4. The one you loved and loved you.

Normally alots goes for Number 4, but it seldom comes by, so they settle for 1 or 2 (depend on their character) and lastly 3 if all else fails. I got a couples of friends that are in Number 3 relationship (Some knows it, some don't). The sad thing is, they still continue in this relationship because of "past failures".

So, but to BM's question, Is this last one, "The One"? We will never know. But are you willing to spend more time finding out, and what is ur response after this understanding? Are you willing to accept, leaves?

All I can say to all my friends out there is all the best.

Salsa (290806)

2006-08-30T08:38:00.000+08:00

It's about half an year since I started Salsa-ing and I beginning to have my own personal style. Gary, passed a couple of us "Beginner's Night" card, so I actually planned to go down on tuesday (which was yesterday at this point of penning) to have a look.

So as work end around six I took a train down to Tanjong Pagar (wanting to eat the Curry rice @ Maxwell), by the time I reach there, they sold finish :(

I walk from Maxwell, down Ann Siang Hill (I bet some buggers don't know where it is), along amoy street, towards China Square food center for make a guess....... Blanco Court's Fried Fish Soup. Then went recee for this Naxos' place where there is salsa happening today. I ran up and down find the freaking place, but can't find. End out, the exact location is @ China Court. Anyway, Tonight I going down to Fuego for salsa again but that's a total different story.

After receeing, took a bus, alight 2 stop later and walk towards Union. Early as usual, I saw the crowd started coming in. Chloe came with her salsa classmate, round of introduction (but I think I forgot half the names but this time of penning. Sorry. I will try my best to remember everyone). The saw Keith (my Sec school junior who told me that my instructor Gary is also my junior). Then came Yi Chuan, Erica, Cat, Gary. Dance quite a bit.(with strangers too). Grading girls based on first impression with Chloe (there is 2 85 points and 1 80 points). Then we left for home, me, Chloe and a guy name Derrick.

Surprises of the day is that I saw Aaron, a salesguy from my company and Fiona, a classmate from Poly. Bloody small world. hahahaha.

Ok, I would like to add something. Bachata. Bachata is a sensual subroot of Salsa. (Or Cha Cha, whatever). Was talking with a couples of gals in regards of my take on that. Personal view. I feel wierd doing bachata with strangers even friends (my salsa classmates). But I would like to learn and dance with my better half (even during my wedding). And no, I still haven't had a better half now. ;P

Overall, it was a good session yesterday and I would like to be in this scene. Making new friends, meeting old friends and dance the night away. WooHoo. Now I'm sweating. (from dancing)

Salsa (120806)

2006-08-13T12:36:00.000+08:00

I went for Salsa , reach around 3 plus, was seeing the bachata class. Lots of guys than gals.
Then the Intermediate Set B. Quite ok.

Let's sidetrack abit. There is a mother who brought 2 children, one age 5 name nicholas (I ask him). Another a baby name nathdaniel who is a few months old. One thing about the mother. She very at ease at throwing the baby around. I help her abit in taking care of nathdaniel. I like kids.

But nathdaniel is very clingy with his mom, kept asking for her. I can't really coax him. We rotate around when finally, Sally brought him out and let him focus on birds. There is a girl call Shirley. Very pretty and chrismatic who joined the bachata class (ok, let me finish before u guys jump into conclusion). She kept smiling @ nathdaniel when she's in the class. I figure she likes kids too.

When we were in the Intermediate class which is after the bachata class, I saw her handling nathdaniel which is better than Sally. Gary laughed when we suggested open a day care center.
He decided on calling it "S & S day care" (Sally & Shirley(I only know shirley name later after this statement)).

So anyway, there is a guy in class, name not mentioned here, who is interested in her. I encourage him. We talk quite alot. I feel, he's quite a nice guy. They look compatiable together.

So to my friend, All the best dude. If u need advise on skirt-chasing (as if I like expert like that, hahaha), drop me a mail.

Btw, we went see fireworks that was super great and went foego later. Foego is the a salsa club. I like the ambience and enviroment though economically, I doubt it will work.

GRISSOM: I'm that obvious, huh?

LADY HEATHER: Only because you try not to be. You spend your life uncovering
what goes beneath the surface of civility and acceptable behavior. So it's a
release for you to indulge in something like high tea when it seems, if only for
a moment, the world really is civilized.

(GRISSOM doesn't respond.)

LADY HEATHER: The most telling thing about anyone is what scares them. And I
know what you fear more than anything, Mr. Grissom.

GRISSOM: Which is?

LADY HEATHER: Being known. You can't accept that I might know what you really
desire, because that would mean that I know you. Something, for whatever
reason, you spend your entire life making sure no one else does.

GRISSOM: Lady Heather, you're an anthropologist.

This week passed really fast.

Monday came and passed, I watched tokyo drift with Fatass. He brought an ah lian friend long. Which I thought it's his gf, though I know generally it's not his taste but I asked anyway. End up no. Well, for a guy for dated stewardess and model, I think he will not lower his taste anytime soon. I always like to let him comment on the girls I asked out. In terms of apperance lah.

Tuesday. Hmmm, it went by so fast that I forgot how it passed. I only know I was home quite late and watched Cable (which was just installed)

Wednesday. National Day, was ZzzZzz til quite late. Then noon went out for a walk an met Serene for dinner. Then we go Union Square for a drink and her bf drop by. Talk about business.

Thursday. Woke up with a bitter beer taste. Today also pass by super fast. Met up with serene again for dinner, help her with some mundane work that remind us of our "slavery" past @ kkyap. hahahaha.

Went Church in the morning, Fellowship with only 5 ppl. Then I proceed to gyming. But I weird. I took bus 14, alight @ Suntec, walk towards Marina square, walk towards Esplande, from Esplanade walk towards Raffles. Enjoyed working out. After gyming, I walk towards Maxwell market for dinner (Curry Rice). Lost my coin purse along the way. (Note to self: Neber, neber put ur stupid coin purse together with ur handphone, where once you take ur handphone, the coin purse goes flying and you don't realise it). After dinner, I walk to Pearl's Center to take a bus home. Reach home, my siblings brought durians back. Finally I had my durian.

Saw the gym girl. As usual, me too lazy to talk to girls. Not pretty, but cute with bangs. At least I did some weight lifting in exchange.

Left mighty early then usual.

Went to check out the location of Foego, the new salsa place Gary is talking about. Maybe burning the dance floor there this sat (burning dance floor, yah rite).

then got craving for the curry rice @ maxwell, but by time reach there, close already.
So LL, go take bus 190 from Pearl's center.

How Long will your marriage Last? (Post Date Entry)

2006-07-30T19:36:00.000+08:00

A Strait Times article dated 26/07 title "Wife's death ends 80-year marriage"

In 1926, Mr Tan Swee wedded Madam Ng Hiang Shun 98. Their marriage lasted 80 years Madam Ng died peacfully in her sleep on the sunday prior to the article.

Quoted her grand-daughter Mrs Geannie Chan, 45 saying "Grandpa kept pestering us to take him to hospital to see Grandma. We didn't have the heart to tell him the news. We were afraid he will die of a broken heart."

For the past 2 weeks at least, I had been counseling at least 2 people in regards to relationship. I'm currently working on 2 relationship. One is mending, one is building.

So this question came into my mind, "How long will my marraige last?" (Please, don't be critical, I know I still single). One criteria I pose myself when courting a girl, I ask myself, do I see myself living with her at least 50 years down the route. I know I could be a good bf, but am I a good husband. I'm working on both, so wish me all the best.

Thanks

2006-07-27T09:24:00.000+08:00

I going to watch ~~"Il Mare"~~, I mean "The Lake House". (Hearing someone asking: Watching with a girl?, Answer: Nah, must probably not, but I watching anyway)

Actually I not really into romantic movies, but these particular one attract me. Reasons? 2. Sandra bullock and the storyline.

Storyline: Two person living in the same house fell in love through communicating using the mailbox. Note, they are 2 years apart. Something actually happened. What, go watch it to figure it out.

The is a collabration between Sandra Bullocks and Keanu Reeves since Speed. My Ah-bu(mom) love speed, kept watching the re-runs on channel 5. She know these 2 people.

What I learnt from Gym-ing this week. (250706)

2006-07-25T09:39:00.000+08:00

Energy Zone

Sidetrack: I was preparing to go for my Hip Hop & Latino Dance class when I saw this giant poster on thing call "Cycling Engrgy Zones"

I went in to ask the instructor, a hongkie guy, who explain to me how the whole thing work.

Step 1: Find you estmated Max. Heart Rate.
220 - Age = Max. eg. 220 - 26 (my age) = 194

Step 2: Take percentage of your Max. Heart Rate to get your engergy Zones.Max. * Intensity%

Basically, there are 5 Energy Zones. Using myself as example for the heartrate (bpm)

Race Day, Striving for Maximum effort
155bpm (85%) to 178bpm (92%)
Interval, Key to top conditioning
126bpm (65%) to 178bpm (92%)
Strength, Improving muscular endurance
146bmp (75%) to 165bmp (85%)
Endurance, Heart & soul of successful training
126bmp (65%) to 146bmp (75%)
Recovery, Creating balance in your training
97bmp (50%) to 126bmp (65%)

More infor on these 5 zones can be found here

I also learnt from larry the hongkie guy I mentioned above that during the first 10-15 mins, ur body is using ur glucose rather than ur fats as burning.

Depend what you are going for, if you are more into bodybuilding, go for Strength, but do note that this is more for lower body building, u need to do upper body with the Roller or weights.

If you are more into fat burning, I would suggest Endurance and Interval.

Do note that Recovery is also very important. Do read the article links.

2006-07-21T09:04:00.000+08:00

First of all, I am fully aware of the "Self praise is no praise".

But anyhow, Today I going to touch on this topic of 师奶杀手, and with the above disclaimer, you should be fully aware that I'm refering to moi in this topic.

Though it's only quite recently that this whole thingy escalating, I realised that I had always been in Auntie's good book ever since I started working.

It all traced back to my youth where I was still living in clementi. I was still in primary school and mine school Pei Tong Primary is less than 50m from home. So, when we were young, there are always the parents (namely mothers) clustering together gossiping, talking, about market prices, whose's husband having an affair, who just pass away, property prices, who is shifting and stuff.

And the funny thing is, the way they identify each other not by their names but by their child's name. Unfortunately, for me, it's mine name that's been used as a form of identification. So my mom's is know as " my chinese name Mom"

Another thing is that, back in those days in Clementi, my mom is unofficially the Head of this club of aunties. So I as the son of this head, had to adhere to this "good boy" image for as long as I know, not allowing to do this, do that. This continued even during my secondary school.

So when it's time for me to choose a tertiary school. I sort of rebelled and choose somewhere far far away from my mom's territory as one of the main reason.

Just prior to that, I had my first job working in Singapore Food Industry (SFI). I was doing some data entry job. With my Godma there as an eye for my mom, this whole "Good Boy" image still stays. I found out that I mix quite well with people, especially with aunties. Well, back then, I don't think that anything, cause maybe I still young, these aunties treated me like their son.

During my 3 years of poly, I went back SFI most of mine holidays for work. But there is this time, I decided to give a sales job a shot. It's those pay-manipulative job that u work like a cow but get paid like a monkey. I was selling Ghost Stories book in those makeshift table. I was trying my sales, pitching and stuff, and found out that my main bulk of customers are aunties. I had realised that because of the years of "training" by my Ah-Bu(Mom), hanging out with her during my youth while she's talking to the aunties, following her to the market, watching her chatting with the provision shop (right below our flat)'s auntie. I sorta understand how an auntie work, and how they live by the rule of "Fresh and Cheap".

So as days pass, I realise I clicked better with aunties, though I had been focus on girls as part of my womanology studies during poly days.

So, as I am now in my current job, I always lunch with aunties. 2 group anyway, one in my main company, one in subsidory. So it's always teasing from the aunties on my age and singlehood thingy, which is starting to get annoying. Anyway, one of the aunties, Lyon, I think I mention her before. She says I'm a 师奶杀手.

I guess I am. Through the image that I projected, be it consious or sub-consious. I also feel that with this same image, I generally don't appeal to girls. Cause girls goes for bad guys as the saying goes "男人不坏,女人不爱"

hahaha. This sucks.

We human are creatures of habits. So much so that if you follow a certain pattern in a linear manner, you bound to meet certain people at certain place and time.

I had a habit of notice a particular few whenever I was on a move, especially when I was on a routine.

For example. In previous work, I left house about 7.30am.
I tend to meet these two people here and again "Miss Admiralty & Miss I-pod"

So since I started this new job, I tend to meet a few more person on regular basis "The Hwa Chong schoolboys, Mr 扬过, Ms. Assumption's Cher, Ms. Monkhill's Stud & Ms. Bus 23."

I decided to write this entry because Ms Bus 23 & I had a breif conversation. She had forgotten to topup her EZ-link card and had to approach me to change some loose changes. Too bad I had not enough. She had also dropped a sim card and proceed to pick it up. This brief conversation sets me thinking. I had been noticing her for as long as I been working, never had a chance to talk to her and never intended too. How often does such things happen.

And, What about u guys. I mean, surely there are people you tend to notice more. Will you approach them to strike a conversation?

These 2 days, I get to know this girl in the company by the name of Emily (not her real name).

This Emily hor, I don't really know wat to say about her. She's just plain quirky and weird. Even weirder than me. She goes around calling me Uncle Konan (which I detest) and Professor Lupin.

She like a little girl, though she's the same age as Miss J.

I really don't wish to play too much.

I hope also that I don't really offended her in anyway.

Grow old with you.

2006-07-18T09:56:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I went to this Internet Cafe @ Orchard tower (where I work briefly before moving on.)

I met up with Mrs Wong to fix up her Security Camera thingy (a job that I hold prior to the internet cafe job, where I get to know this Mrs Wong).

So, as usual, the stint of asking me whether I'm attached is being posted to me which I replied no. I was being blantantly reminded that I not getting any younger. We discussed about Christian finding partners.

She told me her husband is a baptised christian (Water). She's not. But She leads life like a christian. This is being posted to me after I told her something that I don't with to elaborate here.

Anyway. She and her husband had been married for quite a long time. Her only son is in sydney studying. Her husband is bed-ridden, and she had to take care of him.

She sent me back (I drove her car) to home and I reach home about 1 plus. But after talking to her. The question that I told her came back in my mind again, Should I or shouldn't I? and this growing old with you stuck with me since then til now.

Grow old with you

I wanna make you smile whenever you’re sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I’ll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I’ll miss you
I’ll kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

I’ll need you
I’ll feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you’ve had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

Mumbai Bombing, Happiness.

2006-07-13T09:17:00.000+08:00

It's less than a week ago that I wrote this.

Now, there's Mumbai Bombing that occurs less that 2 days ago. Sigh.

____________________________________________

Met Maple briefly yesterday, We were talking about contentment. How to be contented and stuff. Then today, Morning Express also talking about the same topic, which Singapore ranking 131 in the Happy Planet Index. The lowest in asia as it claims.

It got me thinking, what is happiness? I know despite my fustration, I'm generally a very happy person.

This is what I come up with "Contentment is the key to Happiness, Appreciate what you have while seeking what you don't".

Have a good day and life.

World Cup Champion: Italy

2006-07-10T12:01:00.000+08:00

Congrates to Italy for clinching the World Cup.
I remembered 12 years ago, when Italy vs Brazil. Italy lost the finals of the world cup finals in the round of penalty. Roberto Baggio being the poor chap.

This year, they seal it. My heartest congrates to the Pizza-eaters.

See you guys in 4 more years.

London Bombing: 1 year later.

2006-07-07T08:19:00.000+08:00

Exactly one year ago, while reading Blinkymummy's entry while she's on holiday in UK, she spreads news of a london bombing, giving us accounts from the other side the world, corridor from the ground zero.

I proceed to read the news in BBC itself. Subsequently, I posted BM's entry in tomorrowed where the rest of the local blogging community get words of it.

Today, one year later, let's us all remember those that had perished in this midst of terror which still deems very much a threat if not more. I encouraged that we'll be more vigilant, more alert for the prevention of such incidents from happening again. Ever.

Take care and God Bless.

Overcast Weather, Sick, California Fitness, Stupid World Cup.

2006-07-06T08:43:00.000+08:00

Overcast Weather - I came into office with overcast weather over my head. Thank God, it haven't start raining. I saw something that is picture perfect but I don't have a camera to take it down. hahaha. It's a mosque and HDB flats on the foreground, and the overcast sky as background. There is some light coming out from the mosquse towers. The whole picture is very still and serene before the storm is coming.

Stupid World Cup - I kinda give out on World Cup since Englands loss on Saturday. Was screaming like a mad dog with all the ohhhh and ahhhh miss by the england side, heart pumping and the porturgal side almost scored more than once. Rooney being sent out. Peter Crouch acted like a clown in the circus on the pitch. Beckham cried like a baby when he's injured and out knowing it's his last. Paul Robinson doing great on saving the balls all days but sucks totally on penalty. Only saving grace is Aaron Lennon coming late in the second half and actually penetrate into the portugals side. But what the heck, they lose anyway. I felt my throat sore immediately after that, slept the whole sunday through.

Sick - And I was sick on monday, tuesday, wednesday and today.
Monday had running nose, tuesday to today developed to persistent cough. I hate to be sicked.

California Fitness - I went receeing for a Gym yesterday, went Planet Fitness, good enviroment, quite fair prices, then pass by a pomotional booth of fitness first, the price just term me off totally. Last stop, California Fitness. Told the counter guy that I looking for someone to talk to, end up the GM, Mr Jared talked to me. Showed me around, talked quite alot, I know that he speaks chinese because of his travelling and studying, had a brother named kieth that is 10 years older than me to the day (we share same birthday). He cut me a very good deal, and yes, I'm in. Hahaha

So this fatass here is going to shed some pounds. (I haven't told my mom, I think she'll skin me first(But anyway, she's the one who kept asking me to lose weight)). I down some money, hoping to clear the rest by sunday when I went down for my first session after Church.

Inspiration for a Short Story

2006-06-30T23:36:00.000+08:00

During Reservist, I recieved a call from a good friend that inspiration me to write a short story. I had some rough idea but haven't really pen it yet.

Storyline: 2 good friends since colleage times had been contacting each other nearly everyday since they graduate. Then one day, one of them gone missing for 2 weeks, uncontactable in any sort, not email, not msn, not phone. The very next time they communicate, the party that had gone missing totally forget the other party. It was then that we found out that something had happen to this missing friend which cause him/her (I am still thinking who to put) to loss his/her memory. They decided to meet up. The other party help the missing memory one to regain his/her memory and through the process they actually found out they are very much in love.

So what really happened to this person during this 2 weeks and is the person a he or a her? I still thinking. But this is as usual going to be a straight love story.

Back From Reservist.

2006-06-30T16:35:00.000+08:00

I'm back from Reservist.

to HB: Sry, Didn't really slim down, I try ok?

Reservist is so boring. Though there are lots of story to tell. Enough to be written to a book.

Anyway, I'm tired and settling down. I write something when I'm free.

Maybe catching Germany vs Argentina. See how things goes.

Reservist.
