After Work

Went to wood groove with Rui En yesterday after a long day at work.. it was a day when i felt very tired yet dun want to go home as I have to settle my dinner outside.. (perhaps because of the ulcers..)

While Irene went to pluck her eye brows i went to explore the place.. Well i thought i will my role there was juz to see see look look walk walk..never did i expect myself to walk into ''forty winks..'' I did a 30 min scalp massage there ..for juz $13!! (Its having Worldcup Promotion) the dunno indo or thai lady also helped to do my tired shoulders, neck and hands.. i was just there , completely absorbed into the soothing ambience and enjoying the wonderful pain the massager inflicted upon me.. That was great.

After which we went to the hair salon as she wanted to cut her fringe.. I was there observing the surrounding and the skill of the hair stylist while eating away..

The cutting of fringe was fast.. we then went to dessert stall then upon seeing a poster of soy products.. saw a pair of nice glasses..white frame $90 ... tempted to buy. considering.. ahhh!!

Met bin bin on my way back. Long time no see..

Mouth Ulcers

As I am suffering from one painful and very much dreaded ulcer on the interior of my lower lips, thus I did a research on it. Found a website which wrote the following:
(Hope you find it enriching)

Why am I so prone to mouth ulcers?
A primary reason is stress and insufficient rest, for instance you're having too many late nights or you're working too hard. Stress causes your body's immune system to deal less well with bacteria, and there are plenty of bacteria in the mouth. People with chronic anemia, gastrointestinal disorders or constipation tend to get ulcers often

Can certain foods cause ulcers?There are people who get ulcers if they eat spicy food, or snack too much on salted nuts and potato chips. Ingredients in food preservatives, like benzoic or sorbic acid, can cause an allergic reaction that results in a mouth ulcer for some. Others may be sensitive to something in the food, such as gluten, or to citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, which may be too acidic for them.

How long should a mouth ulcer last?It should go away within one week. Any ulcer lasting longer than two weeks should be seen to by a doctor. He will probably prescribe topical steroids or oral antibiotics to treat the cause, not just the ulcer. Consult him, too, if you have more than four ulcers at any one time or if you get ulcers very often.

Besides stress, what are the other reasons?When the skin in your mouth is traumatised ­ if you accidentally bite or cut your lip, for instance, or a toothbrush knocks against your gums. Ulcers can recur if you have metal braces or ill-fitting dentures, or if you have dental problems like a chipped tooth or uneven filling. Constant irritation is unhealthy, so see a dentist if these problems bother you

Is it normal to get two or three ulcers at a time?Most mouth ulcers appear singly, but occasionally they come in small clusters. The size of an ulcer can range from a pinhead to a five-cent coin. Ulcers stay in one place ­ they are not infectious and they don¹t spread within the mouth. But it often happens that when you have an ulcer on the lip, say, you tend to bite the same spot because it¹s swollen. This can cause the ulcer to become bigger, or you can get another ulcer.

Do mouth ulcers appear only on the lips and gums?Ulcers can also appear on the tongue, inside the cheeks and even on the soft palate or roof of your mouth. Ulcers in these places tend to be more painful. How do I prevent mouth ulcers from recurring?Have adequate rest, avoid spicy foods, stay away from coffee ­ these are just some of the steps to take if you always seem to be getting ulcers. When brushing your teeth, try not to be too vigorous, and avoid using a toothbrush with hard bristles. You can also boost your immune system by taking a Vitamin B complex.


What can I do to relieve the pain?Ulcers take about one or two weeks to heal completely but the pain mostly lasts just two or three days. For pain relief, try:

Glycerine ­ it soothes the pain. Apply every hour or so.

Bonjela ­ the cool gel may sting a little but it¹s a good antiseptic. Use every two or three hours.

Tea tree oil ­ it soothes and helps prevent the ulcer from getting bigger. Pour a drop onto a cotton bud and apply on the area three or four times a day.

Listerine ­ an effective anti-bacterial mouthwash. Wash as often as you can.

Choline Salicylate cream ­ ask the pharmacist to recommend one. Apply on the fingertips and rub gently on the ulcer three or four times a day.

Wet teabags ­ Tannin is mildly astringent and relieves pain ­ apply on the ulcer.

Yoghurt ­ it helps get rid of mouth bacteria. Look for one that'sunsweetened.

Vitamin C ­ take 500 milligrams three times a day for three days at the first sign of a mouth ulcer.Avoid salty and acidic foods because they irritate the sore.

You should also take lots of fluids and get more rest.

See a doctor if:

The mouth ulcer is so severe that even taking fluids causes pain.

You have four ulcers or moreat the same time.

Your ulcers keep recurring.

The ulcer is painless yet doesn't go away­ it could be a symptom of cancer or syphilis, a sexually transmitteddisease.

Starting of the day

So happy that I did not drag myself to wake up later than 7.45am today as I always did that. Move myself up at 7.30am. I am able to prepare fast enough to have breakfast..without having to compromise my daily routine of preparation..

Mummy was up early too.. The 1st thing she did was - U-zap a mother's day gift to her.. Glad she used that because last time we bought her foot water therapy, it went into the storeroom to collect dust.. While i was about to leave the house, she was still there U-zapping watching Legend of the Condor Heros.. ( Its the Louis Khoo version.. Actually till date, I find Andy Lau's version still the best!)

I hope to start the day with grace, hope and joy...
Be it the same to you okay, you who are reading it now :)

Hee..By the way

Hee by the way, she is Melissa Ng i am talking about...to my view an underated artiste...

La Femme Desperado

Ever wonder what is La Femme Desperado? Think it simply means desperate woman or direct translation from the above 女人唔易做 ..... (woman hard to be ...)

I started to watch 女人唔易做 beside I left for my Hk trip that time.. It was actually quite a new TVB drama that was still airing during that time..

Rented this piece of work was perhaps because of Melissa Ng and the theme 女人... and to be more exact modern 女人... When it was out at that time, not many people thought well of it as it seems a small scale production.. Haha, who knows , it do turns up well for the viewership in HK I heard..and that raised awareness..

Well its not those extreme highs and lows drama serial that wore you ups and downs..but its interesting in its own way.. as I felt that I relate to it in parts and little..

I have to say that Sheren Tang Sui Man did a good job of the potrayal of Hilda..a bossy yet caring boss..., a seemingly hard but soft woman inside ... Can't imagine if its other actress to protray this character cause I like Sheren Tang's air inside so much..

Was so happy that Melissa Ng could get the role of 'Ah Ling'.. She has an air of sophisication.. yet not quite intimidating..(Hope she will get more recognised soon.) But sometimes I do envy the superior and subodinate relationship of Hilda and Ling inside the show. Is it possible? Can you imagine the thoughts of staying at your superior's house overnight..or can you imagine you having a one night stand with your subodinate ex-husband who stepped on 2 boats... Or has any female boss teach you the art of wearing bra..?

Think Michael Tse (Xie Tian Hua) (Remember the bao ya lawyer he had acted in one of the TVB drama with Hacken Lee? Or anyone remember he played the bad guy in 1997 Snow Wolf Lake? ) suits the role of 'Ah Man' well... Its an encouragement to the bad boy out there.. Every good has bad ... Every bad has good...

Knew some of my friends like Raymond Lam (Ling Feng)..and might made noise ... I find him irritating..even though I think he played the childish yet smart Siu Chai well.. Don't know why..perhaps Ling Feng's look and the character of Siu Chai reminds me of someone that I shall not comment here.. Anyway guys out there...if you want to understand your gal friend or wife more , think you can observe the relationship of Siu Chai and Ling as an onlooker and think ... Go rent the show! (For the fashion sense inside too..)

P.S. Guys out there, heard that there's going to be a male version of La Femme Desperado ... Look out!!

Play rest and relax..

Weekends were simple, relax and fast for me..

I was supposed to meet beibei on saturday..and but was changed to sun.. Thus I meet hui n pei for lunch as hui happened to ask me for lunch..we met at bishan and surprisingly man was there also..went to the foodcourt and swenson for ice cream..yinn came shortly after..

after which i meet ting step n kelly at chinatown..we went to party world to rock the day..though throat and nose were not exactly well, enjoyed it still..

On sunday saw niece cadence my sis n bro in law..cadence always cried and i know her cries were fake.. :p but i suppose that was the most powerful weapon for all bibi...had a sumptous meals of sweet & sour prawn, black sauce fish, steam fish, finely cooked broccoli &cauliflower with many ingredients,beansprouts,eggs,rou chou..all finely cooked by my mum mostly...yummy.. After which i went to orchard to meet beibei to exchange our hk drama serials.. after which we went on separate ways after a meal at mosburger.. i proceeded to win shop a while and went back woodlands..went to church for service and bum onto brother john who gave me a ride..

eat an watch tv one of my favourite pass time, when i reach home.. pause and wash all the dish and did all the drying of clothes.. then i continued my show..finally i felt tired and dread myself to do sping cleaning for my face..and had slept for the day..

My Hong Kong Trip 25-29 May 2006

2 weeks has passed since my Hk trip. I decided that it was time to record the wonderful experience I had.. No more procastination...

(More pictures coming up the coming blog...)

Day 1:

The day before I was busily packing my things..u name it I have it..Remember I was worried about my cleanser being dripped at that time..but somehow I find that lugguage was never really a big problem somehow just that I am lazy..(Maybe you who are reading are also like this..:P) Come to think of it, I have never forgotten to bring any major things when I knew I am suppose to be away from home..Sleep was brief..Body was ache..I slept at 2am and woke up at 3.30am..Sound farmiliar for Jetstar budget traveller..? Left home at 4.1oam so as to catch my flight at 6.40am..Soon I was out on street to look out for my booked taxi..Sky was real dark..felt scared and lonely..but I knew Jesus was with me..No thing to be scared of..Taxi driver was friendly..After checking in at Terminal one, shumin and I headed to mac cafe for breakfast and nyx and her friend went to have a drink. We went on separate ways..Time flies..we left the departure gate and boarded the plan..was a bit excited was a bit scared..the reminder of what happened in sept 1999..(I fainted on plane in sept 1999 from the flight back to Spore from Korea.. The kind where u often seen in drama..where the captain and stewardess tried to wake the victim..as dramatic as u can imagine..but thank God I never give my 1st kiss away :P) But this time I am determined to be an overcomer of my phobia for flimething gals..never wear heels when you are taking a plane..)Soon we were at Hong Kong International Airport!! Away from Singapore..meaning away from work,and the usual routine of life for a period of time..! We 3 bought the octopus card..entitle 2 airport express ride..and unlimited mtr travell for the 1st 3 days and and value of $20..(we took express ride from airport to kowloon..and mtr from there to Yau Ma Tei station.)
YMCA International was near Yau Ma Tei..We easily found our way there from the MTR..And one thing i noticed about the mtr in hk is that when one reached the final exit for a certain destination, to climb a staircase is unavoidable.. So can you imagin with my heels, and heavy lugguage and bag..how i climb up the ladder..all because I am such vain pot..! Serves me right..
I quickly settle my stuffs in the hotel (16-13)..right thing at the right place..rest for a while..and i went to 'tang cheng' for lunch with shumin..she said that it was famous and many celebrities have been there..(Located at Tsim Shat Shui) I was very hungry at that time and I just followed her..Ordered mango smoothie (coz the color was nice) and wanton noodle..For its the 1st time i made an exception ..coz i think since i m in hk maybe should give a try to their wanton..even though i was not impressed by it but I do think that its finely cooked..
After we finished the 1st meal we had in hk, we went on our separate ways..felt excited coz i am left on my own..it sure was a challenge to me because that was the 1st time I hit hk..not knowing hte routes, the buses, the mtr well enough..and further more, i need to brush up my cantonese..Precisely! All thesse were exactly the reason I found it so exciting..because there were so much to explore in the unkown..walking around in tsim shat shui, i am fansinated by the crowds, by the small shop, by the old buildings..the atmoshpere shall i say..Soon, Nyx called me to say that she will skipped her lunch and stayed in the hotel within..as she wanted to wait for kathy.. thus I bought some octopus ball and egg waffle back at the street since i was only 60% full at the same time..(the street was crowded..there were many nice shops..i saw a shop which sell bras with lotsa variety..
After I finshed with my so called win shopping or exploration..i went straight back to the hotel intending to pass the food to nyx..I went for a hot bath then..It was comfortable..
After which, I went down to the lobby to settle my keys.. in hk hotel guest would be encouraged to drop their key into the droplet as they will only give one key so that whoever is back can get it from the counter without having to wait for the others..anyway saw nyx and kathy..i joined them to go to Grand Stanford to look for the overseas fans who were helping to coordinate concert tickets and gather matters..
After we got our tickets, Nyx and I went on to explore the nearby areas. Nothing much actually..and we proceed to walk towards HK Collesium. It was during that time I finally got news from Eric. He was trying to find me and I was trying to find him..at last finally.. Eventually we all met at HK Collesium. That was the first time Nyx and Eric meet.. Shumin meet us there too..And that was also the first time Eric and Shumin meet.. (In the midst, I bought a terrible can drink which was rusty..and I threw it away without any hesitation..)
We were inside soon..I was feeling very excited despite my tiredness..because it has been 10 years. And this was the 1st time I stepped into HK Collesium .. a kind of simple dream for me when i was young..
Wow, V has a V look! That instant, the audience cheered and applaused! It seemed that we were all in a spaceship that arrived in the 90s. To me, it also meant my childhood memories..and also the time when I was still a teenager..Deeply truely madly, I was touched and proud to be a part of the concert Back For Love.. (Hacken Lee, Leo Ku, Gu Zu Lin, Lin Long Xuan, Chris Wong was there as performing guest too) Yes Leo sang that! Ai Yu Cheng! Yeah..He's cute at the same time.
(for those who are interested to watch a concert and wanting to shoot video clip, be alert! a gal was being chased out in the midst of the concert because of that..but think taking picture will be okay.)
After the concert..its part of a rountine to move forward to a set up rails for fans..It seemed arranged ...an add on session of shaking hands with the fan..I felt that it V's way of expressing her appreciation for her fans.. She aknowleged my presence in the midst of fans.. :p (One interesting thing was that all the people who were at the rails were all adults not the usual 13 14 teens..Can you imagine a group of working adults standing at the railways?) The waiting was long as there were reporters interviewing her i supposed.In the midst i saw tiff!! we met)
As Nyx got back to Hotel 1st, there were only Shumin and me to take cab back to hotel..it was late..but we were both hungry yet tired..Thus we went to da bao food back to the hotel. I went into this cha can ting whereby I am captured by its London look..Felt that I am a wandered artiste when i went in. (Shumin went to the other cha can ting) After we got our food, we went straight back to the hotel and slept after eating our supper..It was around 3.30am..


Day 2

Woke up at around 9.30am..I felt cold..Quickly,I went to wash up and prepared myself for another exciting day.. Told myself that I gotta hit shopping and have a good meal..As Shumin already have in mind what to do and where to go in the early part of the day, thus I will meet up with Eric and Nyx... But before we set off for the day, we went to 2282..That was my 1st interaction with Winter. She helped me took a very nice picture :) Love it man!!
After my usual preparation routine, I started the day with a breakfast with Nyx..I remembered that the uncle who was taking order was a bit impatient and irritated when I could not made up my mind what do eat. He walked off..and think he came back to the table after i called him..But he remarked ,'' Be quick!" Wow that's really attitude..But I think i can take it because this is basically not my very own homeland..although I felt embarassed.. Anyway food arrived slow and I realised that in Hk the food arrived a bit slow usually. (I ordered macaroni with ham and egg and a cup of milk tea.)
After which we meet Eric at the MTR. Our 1st stop was Wang Jiao Zhong Xin. We decided a meeting place and a meeting time and went our separate ways to explore the place. Kelly was right..I like the place. Many small pretty shops..many.each is unique in its own way..And most of them you can bargain. I bought 2 pieces of 1 piece dress which i hardly find one that i like in spore for about $30 (sing dollars) That's a good bargain right? The salesgals were friendly and I was so happy that I took a picture with them. After which I looked around for shoes, long necklance and many others..my heart really crave for a shoes that time because i am still wearing the heals..tired..but unfortunately i did not find one that gave me the thought to use $$ to exhange..there was this uncle who was irritated when I tired some of the shoes and did not buy in the end..its all shown on his face..eventually i just walked out of his shop..Then in the midst of my contineous shopping, i suddenly realised that i lose the 2 pieces of dress that i just bought.. and during that time Judy called me to discuss about the meeting time for her to pass Ah C cds ..Think was a bit so call paranoid that I could not talked to her really much at that time..I was a bit gang jong(time was also up as i am supposed to meet nyx and eric)..as i felt that i cannot let the lost of 2 newly bought dress to be true..thus despite my tired legs, I went to search for it at all possible shops with all of my heart. To my once more embarassment, it was at the mentioned irritated uncle's shoe shoe. The very instance i stepped into his shop once more, he gave me my plastic bag of dress gentlemanly. I felt the need to buy shoe from him for his honesty..but frankly i found it hard to buy because i think its simply not suitable for me(in another word 'cannot make it'). He shooed my out in the end.. when i m stuck.. After which, I went to meet Nyx..(Guess not as good a shopper as me, Eric was probably bored by our supposed to be 1 and half hour shopping at wang jiao zhong xin..within that time..he has already visited ladies st and temple st..) And we went to Ting Wah as she wanted to check out something there. After i finished exploring the place, I spotted a nice place to take picture thus i snapped my camera..At that instance, a security stopped me nicely and told me that picture taking was not allow..But perhaps due to my good attitude, he advised that I could take picture without stepping into the vicinity..he helped me to take some and we chatted for about 15 minutes while waiting for nyx..This duration, i came to know that he was a chinese lecturer before and he was having some communication problem with his wife and his sons who were all Christian.. I prayed that Father you will bless the family..and strengthen their ties ..For I know you hate divorce.
Nyx and I went to Xu Liu Shan to have dessert after which..I have already decided that this would be a place I have to visit..Anyway I have forgotten the name of the dessert i ordered...but it filled with real mangoes..and have good mango pudding plus a large portion of milk element and of course there were other ingredients..So you can imagine how much i enjoyed..as far as i could remember nyx ordered something which has bird nest and xue har..
After which, we went to the nearby ladies st. Same as before, we decided a meeting place and time and we went on our separate ways. Ladies st was just like a bigger version of singapore's bugis village, with bigger crowds and daring bargains. You can find clothes, shoes,sunglass, antique, fans, chopstick, dice,majong etc there. I bought tea cup with for my father..and bought a special hair clip with strips of shiny bead for my mum..at 1st the sales person wants to sell it at 45 hkd..but i told her that i will only accept it at the price of 30 hkd and below..and i think i changed my mind and fixed it at 25hkd and below..that very instance, she tired to persuade me to let her earn $5..and i in turn asked her to let me saved $5..After which, I told her its ok..and with all of my heart, i gave up the thought of buying that..then suddenly she quickly wrapped the hairclip with newspaper and said that its a deal..then i asked her so is it for 25 hkd? and she replied , '' Just my luck to run onto you!''. I felt weird and was thinking then don't sell it to me lor..but at the same time i bought it coz i thought that was a good deal.. (but well later on , my friends who were residing at hk told me that it could even be as lower as 10hkd after taking a look at the hairclip..so a piece of advice for those who wants to go to ladies street : these people are trained..so be trained too! )
Time flied fast. Half the day was gone. We went back to the hotel. Nyx to take a rest..for me its rest and to prepare a letter for v. Soon it was time for shumin me and nyx to take cab to go to hk collesium..it was so rush that i took hotdog burger with a vitasoy(wei ta nai) that i liked.(cannot be found in spore) remembered that i was so hungry at that time.. I quickly finished it outside the vicinity of hk collesium as i dread the thought of being chased out for eating food..but amazing thing was ice cream was sold there..so by right eating was allowed while waiting for concert to start..i thought i should have brought in my food..
Anyway as the concert started , the audience wowed and cheered as usual! One thing different from the 1st night concert was that there were new performing guest artistes. At the earlier part of the concert Ah lam (Lin Zi Xiang was there) v and him sang 'sometimes when we touched' Thought ah lam was cool.. he put the audience on good cheer.. shortly after, vivian was on stage again. she was emotional..cried at the early part of the concert beyond her control. my tears dropped uncontrollably somehow..as i witness her performance and growth for each of us over the years..many beautiful memories.. when she sang 'ru guo ni zhi wo ku zhong' a song written by leslie chong, the atmosphere was emotional..its a 90s time pieces of music..everyone applaud at the this song with regconition..
Samuel chio was there too! I seemed to have my dream fufiled! He sang 'xiang ni xiang de hao gu ji'..i wonder how many of the teens nowadays know this songs..its one of my favourite piece in the 90s..Different from 2nd night, lin long xuan sang 'ni na me ai ta'..(on the 1st night he sang the 2 pieces of songs written for v 'jin zai bu yan zhong' and 'xin shi chong chong') that was impressive ..the ways he played the piano..at that instance, it was so beautiful that everyone dropped their camera and looking at him with his piano would be enough to be satisfied..but of course the female lead of the day, v's piano was more class and beautiful!a pink coloured transparent piano that can fight with the one jay chou's had at his concert.. Again Leo sang 'Ai Yu Cheng'.. i was happy to hear it again..
Overall the concert again was a success..filled with love and warmth..same as usual,after which, the fans waited for her..a whole group of working adults.. anyway the waiting time was shorter comparatively..and i managed to pass my letter to her.. as she gave me a firm handshake, said 'hey hi! and thank u 2 times' looking at me sincerely with aknowledgement..
I was happy..Anyway we were all hungry..And Shaun brought us to this da pai dang for supper..located at Tsim Shat Tsui..Laid back..smoky place yet gave the fragrance of food. I instinctively knew that Shumin won't like it somehow and moreover she seemed to be in a bad mood..And i was correct..she told us that she will buy food from other places and come back again. But eventually she bought the food and head straight back to hotel. Thus left me, nyx and shaun.. We ordered chu cha.. By the time we reached home , it around 3am.

Day 3

Woke up at around 9am. As usual Shumin has planned her own itineries..Thus again me nyx shaun and eric went for a quick drink at one of the cha can ting..and we walk towards Mongkok for our Dim Sum.. Was very hungry that time..And i think i definitely beat the other three.. i ate the most.. (the session was a bit quiet to what i feel..dunno whether everyone were just engrossed in eating or because everyone just got to know everyone.) But think i should thanks everyone for i love to shoot photo on food and all gotta wait for me too shoot the food before they can go yummy !:p
After which we all meet up with Shumin and we hit the cd store which sells a lot of old cds. I suppose its a productive trip for some of us..Half the day was gone..we went back to the hotel to put our things and to catch up with rest.Soon evening came and the time for us to set off came. Nyx me and eric we took a MTR to Tsim Shat Tsui and walked to the 'Xin Guang Da Dao''.. A so call open space star gallery concept by the open sea..eric and i were such a vainpot that we wanted to post and take picture..thus poor nyx looked after our bags for us.. Dunno why..time always seems so rush..no wonder people say time is precious ..both me and eric could not afford to take picture with all the statue and foot print..as we are racing with time with a hungry stomach and a concert.. thus we walked from 'xin guang da dao' to metropolis which was just opposite hk coliseum..there was'nt much choice..food court was unreasonable and only mac around.therefore nyx and eric bought mac and i bought my favourite vitasoy..and artificial 'shao er' .we bought all our food to hk collesium..i sat with nyx,shumin , a male hk fan and mm..somewhere quite near the stage..everyone knew that the night marked the last night for ' Back for love' 2006.. Well many times, we really do not know when and where will we marked the last stage of things.. When is it really a last time..?or will things be contineous? A night of sincerity and warmth, v once again touched us..she added two songs which she did not sing during the 1st 2 nights..'River Red Valley' and "liu lian'..There was also an additional getting near audience session ..and 2 encores instead of the usual one.. She cried 4 times during different parts of the concert.. The very moment joe was on stage with her..there were envy and gladness in me.. I hope she will be happy..and i hope maybe one day i too will find my special someone who will also brave the storm with me with joy, with passion, with loves, with surprises, with truth.. Anyway by the time she sang 'ru guo ni zhi wo ku zhong' everyone was either crying with tears or crying in the heart.We sang along as she placed her mike in audience direction..Audiences were participative! It was a memorable night for all..(I heard that linda wong vivian lai liu xiao hui tang baoru and calvin soh from grasshopper..People from my era : still remember them..remember polygram? ) even though everyone can't get enough, we all knew that all concert has an end despite 2 encore or despite any no. of encores..With lotsa memory and will be missed by everyone...the concert ended..well done v!
After the concert, we went to the celebration session (qing gong yan) ..only fans who have tickets can go in..thankful that i had made up my mind to go since 2 months back then..or else i might be ended up with no tickets.. going to the qing gong yan was an unique and special experience for me.. There were many many reporters, some sponsors, restaurant worker, committee, many fans..etc everyone wants a piece of her..and some want some piece from leo.. as leo and gu zu lin were there too.. qin gong yang started with a one hour plus interview..shortly after which i saw v took a quick bite at the buffet food..she did not eat much..and she had to sign autograph and take picture with the sponsor and the worker of the restaurant..(I think personal one) after which she had to proceed from table to table to take picture with every fans.there were many tables and each table have about 8 pax.. soon our turn came.. (i got to know some new friend and one of them was nai nai..) V took the initiative to say hello to me!! She told me not to worry and assured me that she has received shumin and my letter..time were rushed..i could out talked much to her..turn for next table..Anyway when it was the time for her to leave, fans were lined in 2 with a gap in between with security guards for her to walk.. Again she tried her very best to shake hands to everyone she can reached..and when she walked passed me..she gave me a very firm one and said ' Take plane back lah' in cantonese..i could'nt really understand when she said that(being a non cantonese)..it was shumin who heard what v told me.. I am contented even though i did not managed to take a picture personally with her..
We reached hotel at about 3am plus..

Day 4

I wake up rather early considering that i slept quite late the night before.. Went to the nearby church..Thank God it was just crossing a road from YMCA International. Before I came to HK i was still troubled about where to find a nearby church..one that was near to HK.. God is good!! A helpful brother helped me to take a picture..Its such a blessing.. After I walked out from the church, the rain started.. Thank God. Kathy and mm walked pass..at the right time and right place.. They were such a blessings.. mm sheltered me and we chat about the concert along the way..
When I reached the hotel i quickly tidied myself up for i always felt untidy after rain.. Soon it was time to meet tiff and judy..met tiff at mongkok mtr and we go to a restaurant for lunch and its also a meeting place for judy. we 3 ordered some dishes and rice.. After which the nice tiff and nice judy took me to buy poster rack cover, chu qian yi ding instant noodles.. and because there were so many things to carry , they followed me back to the hotel.. After we finally loaded our stuff..time for food and makan again.. Tiff and me went to causeway bay 1st while judy went to settled something..
1 hr later judy catch up with us.. we had our dinner at one of the foodcourt. we also did some shopping before that. The place was crowded..we had a good chat..and after which we went to eat 'dun nai' and forgot its tiff or judy who eat 'dun dan' . these were nice dessert which is nutricious and good for skin.. we bump into Yip Poon Man who was also there to eat dessert. she wore sunglass and was low profile.. i never knew that she was a celebrity..until tiff told me.. and the worst was i never know shumin likes her.. as in fact after yip poon man left, 5 to 10 min later, i met shumin nyx and shaun.. (well for me someone who never knew who yip was and for shumin who hoped to see her in person for years..lol u can imagine)
After all of us meet up, we went to Joe Billaries..sometimes we had a 1 hr plus game.. and i had a chat with Christina..the cleaner there..was glad that we made a trip there. we went back to hotel after which..
I slept at about 4.30am with all the packings to be done and my make up to be removed..was so tired and don't really want to face the reality of going back to singapore ..knowing that i have to catch my flight early in the morning..

Day 5 :

Wake up real early and with all of my strenght i managed to transfer all my stuff from hotel to taxi..from taxi to airport..from airport to plane..from plan to Changi Airport ... from Changi Airport to Woodlands Ring Road..
Eveyone was tired for the day...
I am glad to see the photos that was developed..
I enjoyed my trip.

Testing

Tried many ways to figure out how to upload pictures to this blog but its so problematic..I am determined to have it inside here..

Thus this is a testing of uploading picture..I chose a picture of Kit which I think she looks sweet..

Memories

When I am 12,

I knew you and your music..
I wanted to support you.
It was an age of growing up.
The very age when I start to have crush on guys.
Your music marked a kind of colour..

When I am 13 and 14,

I started to notice the cantopop because of you.
That was the first I saw you in concert 1994.
That was also the year I saw you in airport.
That was also the time I came to know some of my friends at present

When I am 15,

my grandmother pass away..
You comforted me..with your words..
I was doing badly in my studies..
My father was angry.
And I was often bullied in class.
You comforted me with your presence..
That was the year you came to Singapore to promote <>
We were there..

When I am 16,

That was a year you came to Singapore for cruise.

We tried to follow you..

Opening the car window along the roadside,

You told us follow no more..be good and wait for you at the airport..

We were good then.. We listen to you..

About 1 month later,

you came to Singapore again,

for the promotion of <>..

We were there too..

Behind you all the way!!

Shortly after, I graduated from my secondary school ..

I did quite well in studies..
That was the year you left the entertainment scene..

I miss you..

But I knew you might be a happier person then..

When I am 17,
I accept and thought that I will never see you again in person..
I decided that I will leave a corner of my heart to you in remembrance..
It was an age where Hk returns to china..
An age I felt sad for the canto market..
An age I quit from a famous course of study..
An age I start to dress up..

An age where I became more confident..

Everything change..
But your music never leaves me.

Same.. I miss you.


When I am 18 ,

I started to do all kind of funny jobs..
An age where places are getting crowded
An age where there are all kinds of artiste
I still remember and miss you.

When I am 19

I enter into a performing arts school..
You encourage me with your letters..
I needed it that time..

When I am 20,

I like a guy secretly..

leaving your CD with him one day accidentally..

He returned it to me one day..

We lost touch..eventually.

It hurts..

I thought of you at that time..

I miss you somehow..

It was also during that year,

I received a letter from you.

When I was 21 years old..

Many people celebrate birthday with me..

Many people give me presents..

That was the year you wrote me a letter too,

one month before my I turn 21.

That was my earliest present..

Even though I think you do not know my birthday actually..

I 'm happy. Really happy..

Ever since, I hoped for your letter once a year..:p

When I am 22

I did not receive letter from you..
there was a kind of sadness that came out of love frankly.

Was wondering would you remember me?

Told myself it would be hard to reply to every fan..

Anyway this is the year I became a working adult..

Earning and spending my own money :)

When I am 23

I received your letter!

It came in the least expected manner..

I was happy..

I was thankful..

When I am 24..

There's more news of you somehow..

I envy the hongkong fans..

But I am happy that you are happy with life..

I cheered for you in my heart..

When I am 25.. ,

You are back for love!

It seems abstract..

Few weeks later,

you came to Singapore for Philip Wein.. in the month of April..

April fool joke?

Nope! Its true. You came..

I saw you..

Finally..after 10 years..

May 25-27..

You rock the stage at HK coliseum with memories.

I will remember..

Thank you thank you..

For coming back for love..

Back For Love

You are back for love,
I am here for love..
with fond memories..

A figure standing on stage,
facing the audience at large..
You are truly sincere and appreciative.
Oh everyone wants a piece of you..
Tears in the heart, tears in the air..
Voices and cheers filled the place..
Oh you stretch your hands,
and you stretch your voice to full extent in full capacity..for us.
those who are far,
and those who are near.

Oh, I miss you.
truely, deeply, madly..
You are near.
You are far.

Oh how we have all grown up,
as we continued to be better people.
From teenager to working adult,
And you have children now..
A mother of cats and dogs..

Oh, I support you!
I knew you knew that..
Perhaps the greatest given support would be to know that we are all doing well.
May blessings be with you all the days of your life..
Many loves be with you and your love ones.

You are a blessing.
Thank you.

My Sunday

Waking up for the day, I thought I have more time than it really was. Anyway I carried on with my daily routine and head straight to church. Guijin was not there with me..I wish she was there..

Anyway stripe of tears rolled down my cheek when I saw a scene from a film abt the love of a black mother to her white daughter.She never gave up even when her daughter forsake her because she is black and she is white when she actually is a black too..

Service seems fast today..I headed home for lunch and watched my rented drama service while having my lunch. Did really enjoyed.

After which, I headed to Toa Payoh Lor 8 to meet Guijin to borrow camera from her..I then went to Orchard to meet the birthday gal of the day n pei,hui,man..

Change of plan..we went to sakae shushi instead of swensen coz yin went to swensen earlier on..we went to the sakae in hereen..i had teriyaki don,man had katsu don, pei had teriyaki ramen, hui had tempura ramen..(But I knoe she will give the dish a 'F' for fail.) Ironically the birthday gal did not order any main dish.On and off we juz took watever we want from the sushi bar too..We bought yin a cheese cake from TCC..i tink its nice!! As usual we borrowed lighter and placed it in front of yin out of nowhere..lol

Everyone was so full but I think it seems like nothing is inside my stomach yet..I hate to admit..but I really felt hungry :p thus i went to buy crab claws from old chang kee and we went to Starbucks after which. From there I bought Green Tea Franpacinno (If it is spelt correctly..) Nice , but I thought $6.60 was ex for just a casual drink at night time.

Anyway we chat and rot there for a while and went to zara to shop n to win shop..After which we went home..but of course birthday gal of the day..would be different..she got chauffer..Man took bus,me,pei n hui took train..

Thanks for that day gals..! Yin,Happy Birthday! May you be born again soon also.. God bless you.

My Sat

I went to the library after my work last saturday alone, hoping to grab someone for lunch at the same time. Nonetheless, that was so last minute..all not free to meet me..so I guess I will embrace time myself then..On the journey, I was thinking y not not spend the weekend to do some volunteer work..to make it a productive one and at the same time I would widen my contacts..at the same time waiting to for a date..lol

Well time flies fast.I have reached the library but it was not productive for some reason..After which I went for my lunch - KFC and headed straight home expecting to read the newspaper that I bought and watched a VCD that i have rented.

Met a sis to go for Miracle Service.I was late for the proposed time. I have witness how Jesus you healed my fellow brothers and sisters there. Thank you.I stood up also during healing time..to pray for my complexion and also Pei's mum for her legs. Father I pray that you will answer my prayer and that you will increase my faith. Surely you are the best doctor and healer in the whole universe!

Had supper with someone at the admiralty foodcourt. I ate ma po dou fu with slight hesistation considering the oil floating on the floating surface of the claypot. Yummy its nice..but i decided not to finish all..when I knew how capable I am to eat 2nd round of rice..We had a meaningful yet serious conversation to which i gotta admit something gone missing..Something disturb me..

And I further noted that we man dun like to answer certain question or to speak with certain language...

Father help me to learn and progress..and be a better person.

Another Weekend

I look at the time..its 12.50am..10 min to knock off..another sat..today i am wondering wat m i going to do for the day..going for miracle service praying for the sick..bringing a brother in spiritual sickness to church, go east coast cycling,..library..reading.. or what..?

i am so restless..hope that it will not be another lonely saturday..

7 May 06

I wake up lazily on the day of May 7. Was feeling a bit sad that Da Guijin is not joining me for service, and was secretly hoping that she might change her mind, and meet me at the usual time and usual place..'Father, pls change her heart, and prompt her with your holy spirit to visit you at your place..' , I was telling God at a little corner of my heart..At the other corner, I was thinking she won't change her mind last min.. Anyway looking at the my handphone, I will then know..

'1 message' was reflected..i was thinking excitedly, could she change her mind? Thank you Lord! You answered my prayer.

After service, Da Guijin and I went to Toa Payoh for lunch and I always enjoyed the conversation with her..and saw Hui and Kenny there along the way at the later part..(dunno why..felt that kenny look a bit pai seh when he saw me..forgot to ask hui abt that..)

At about 4pm, I parted with Da Guijin and meet pei,yin,man and hui..Quickly we went for a small bite and hop onto hui's car..My 1st time..which i gotta admit i was seated so comfortably that i dun feel like getting up..always enjoyed being a passenger..and felt gd being drived by a very good and long close friend..

Upon reaching marina bay, i had the honour of playing pool with the gal of the day..man!..it has been long since the last we challenged each other..we played 4 times..out of it i won 2 times she won 2 times..hee..i was happy..it spurred my interest for pool once again..i hope i will be better at the game..improving each time..

after which, dinner time with messy table and heat..! even though i seldom initiate bbq n steamboat, i quite appreciate the warm atmosphere..and the considerate thoughts of my 4 angels in choosing the stall with chillie crabs...

Around 8pm or ++, we have more or less settled with our mess of food..we proceed to hop onto hui's car once again..and arrived at kallang river..

well honestly, confronted with river, a batch of tall buildings and the so called nicely packed houses from far view..I wonder what will it be like 10 yrs from then on..i sincerely hope that everyone will be doing well, happily married, each having their own household living,or a dreamed lifestyle etc or whatever..(although i dun know whether is that what they want..) and also I wish that they had known Christ, the truth,the creator..i wish that with love..When will that day be.. the day where we will sit at his throne, reiging victoriously..forever and ever in eternity..(For my beloved family and siblings and all friends too..)

we left the beautiful place about 1 hr plus later..and hopped onto hui's car..heading towards home..

Happy Birthday Man! The day marked your existence of 25 years..! May you be born again and be the chosen ones..I will jump with u on that day! Hope you like our present..and also the day..I love you.

pei,hui and yin, i love u gals too.

God bless all of you.

My 1st time

Waking up for the day on last Saturday 6 May 2006, I am excited. I crawled out of my comfortable bed lazily n excitedly as mummy asked me to wash up quickly..

It will be my 1st time to vote for election!! Somehow knowing that I have a part in what I would say one of the most important event in Spore, the very place which I was borned, I felt honoured..even though I was'nt really clear..not clear my votes should throw at which parties..I heard too much stories...not clear hw's the procedure like..not clear who will be there exactly..will there be two parties standing in between..?

I have never been a person who has shown much interest in politics..(even in elsewhere) Election '06 has forced me to look at the news intently with interest sometimes because I have to vote...and I know every votes count...and I wanted to be fair to a certain extent...even though fairness is hard to measure sometimes.. I wanted to put a null void, but I dun want to waste the privellege of having able to vote n there being my 1st time.

Anyway after i finished the morning daily routine, mummy n chen sitong n i set off to woodlands ring sec school. (Mummy n i wear the same slippers.)

The small paper was passed to me to cross the party i want to support. I actually look a bit left n right to check if anyone was looking at me in casting my vote :p i suppose that was uncooled..hee..

After which, mummy n chen sitong n i went to the nearby coffee shop for meal whose business i suppose was exceptionally good..

Went home after that..

Alone

I dun belong here i know... to this frequency, to this pattern, and also to this group of people's heart... I felt lonely..as i hate to admit.. There's a gap in the air..

Thus I seek you , that is love..and truth..u know who u r and I know who u r. And u know me.

Starting the day with my 2nd day, I felt tired..not that i want to.. it juz happen.. I felt lonely...I felt that my existance are not of paramount importance to them.. and perhaps i m not needed by them..

Nevertheless, I know u r there for me..always..even though I can't feel u at times.
May I be able to face everyone with love in your name and by your strife..Give me the strength to love..and to forgive..and the heart for tenderness..

I desire to shine for you. Give me that strength.Bless me to glorify your name..
I love you.

7 days back I saw her

Casually, dressed in jeans and green top with a shawl, u came out...My heart was beating..Hw will it be like..It has been 9 years.. I never thought u will come..

You threw me a smile and a hi with warmth that represent 'long time no see with remembrance'... Indeed you say yes surrounding the envious eyes of all...

I remembered that I told you spore has changed a lot.. but you said that you have no chance to walk around ..That very instance, I think you might be very busy..

You told me not to come since we are meeting soon.. But I know I have to and want to come..

Dressed in black, you with your fair face, nice.. However, I did not have a

You asked me to help them..I felt so honoured .. But are you really sure all of them are sincere?

Because of you, I knew him..a new friend who seem sincere.. I am thankful.. Coz this friend helped me to know where I go wrong..

Thanks for your beautiful memory...

Going over - Batam

It was time to wake up for that day on 25 March. I was tired actually but I have to race against time..I was thankful that I do not have to wear make up because I am going out with the fabulous four angels.. Angels accept my naked face and of course so do u , Father. This alone makes the day esp relaxing..considering that i will not have to do so many things in the morning..

But still, I feel tired..I thought I will juz enjoy myself on ferry and zzzzz (and not spend toomuch money too since I am going to HK in may) and when I wake up I will juz mum mum at A&W..

On my way to the train, I would think that I would be late and man n pei were already there waiting..Oh they will suan me and suan suan suan..As expected, these 2 gals bullied me..with tease..Pei told me to meet at 8am, but the orignal meeting time was 8.15am..Noti bunch of gals...But i am late also... (Sorie Father, have failed u in this area. Will overcome this by your strife!!)

We walk to Mac upon reaching harbour front..felt lazy and felt morning glory at the same time. After which, we chop chop go and check in ..and realised that we r supposed to go in earlier.. nevertheless Father you still bless us.. as we still have another going in at abt 10plus and come to think of it, u did bless us Father.

We started our journey of that day by renting taxi..around $50 for 4 to 5 hr, and we each only have to chip in $10 for the luxury of travelling for the day..

Our 1st destination started off with Indo Thai.. Fast and decisive, we decided to go in.. Man did foot reflexology, yinn did massage, pei ,hui and me did scrub..And till date i still think that it is the best deal..coz to a certain extent, there's quite a bit of massaging element within the scrubbing procedure. I have a good stretch myself..Indo gals really have strength.. frankly speaking, I felt too relaxed that I fell asleep and wake up again when she wants to scrub certain sensitive area.. funny things were that there were times i burst into laughter which i think the therapyy also laughed with me..i was thinking that was so funny..pei n hui also asked why i laughed..As far as I could remember, I did not gave them an aswer..being lied down comfortably..and ultimately, pei and hui also laughed upon seeing me laugh..and yin n man on the other side, heard that they laugh too upon hearing us laugh..and of coz our 3 indo therapist laugh together with us..sometimes i wonder what do they chat abt while scrubing us... Anyway we come out happy but hungry!!

We ate fried rice and drank drinks in traditional watered..the food is nice , tea a bit smell like indo, soda so so, coke was not bad. At least i m satisfied with the fried rice..nice!!

Time for hair and pedi..Pei, hui , and yinn did hair spa while i go over the other shop to do my pedicure!! They were so cheap..around $8 for pedicure and supposingly $5 for hairspa..i mean supposingly..as they charge another amt for blowing hair partially n fully..clipping n curling too have another price..so funny and lame!! no wonder pei was so angry..but too bad, i miss the show to see her scold the counter staff..haha..am so bad :p anyway i did not get to color my feet as the manicurist at the shop i went dun do color.. was a bit disappointed actually at 1st but considering that it was $8 in sing dollars and the fact that the manicurist helped me to get rid of my dead and hard s skin at food sole made me thankful. and I am thankful.. Poor man, all the hair spa and pedi n medi not good enough for her. I will persuade her to go and try one of the session during our nxt batam trip..

Hee, A&W! Good old days!! Chillie is nice but too hot.. yin's n my root beer float go overflowing..

After which, we went supermarket.. things were relatively cheap..however no one bought anything except me! I bought milk scrub!! wanna make my skin like BB!

Time flies fast. We gotta be quick to depart from batam..I was walking unsually fast..hee. Anyway, we boarded the ferry in no less than 10 min. During the journey, pei yin hui slept..not so sure abt man..I enjoyed the journey..enjoyed the quiet time with u Father.

I enjoyed the journey to batam.

So far ..

2 weeks ago, I created a post and I think it went missing. So guess its time to do a recollection...

So far, I am a 25 years old woman..Having live for 25 yrs, heart having to pump for 300 months, nose having to breathe for 9125 days. I am a woman.. :)

1st Mar 2006

Hee, finally get to kara with rui en and johnson.Fun..But as usual, its golden time for me..think the latest song i sang was huo yuan jia..its a disaster!!

Anyway we had a great time..johnson has vocal power and rui en has a fine voice..Fun..

Reach home at abt 11 plus..

2nd Mar 2006

I went shopping with Pixie on that day.. She says she wants to look for a gift for her friend.. I thought I will just accompany her. She bought something from Crabtree & Evelyn..something for the foot for her friend..
After which we went to mum mum..And there came gorilla & irish.. with a ice cream cake n a candle..for me :) Nice nice..even though I knew I put on weight at that time, I have to eat..They all bought me a baby blue espirit jacket..That includes avi n bei bei..Thank u gals..for everything.

Oh, brother peter also give me a bracelet!! This madly, deeply in love guy could still remember my birthday when he is in honeymoon..what a buddy!

The thoughts itself counts more than the surprise.

3rd Mar 2006

Wake up at 7am on that day..I bathe and do my ususal beautiful make up.I feel beautiful deep within somehow..After which, I had breakfast with mummy and chen sitong..As far as I could remember, the last time we had breakfast together was during the chinese new year day 2..

Once again, I receive the 2nd birthday cake of the year..I like it..as it signifies their remembrance of my birthday..However, I hope for a simple pandan cake,those that are simple and humble that could be found in cake / bread shop. The cake turns out to be a upper class coffee cake..coz I suppose chen sitong think that pandan is cheapo..anyway i was touched..

We left the house at around 8.15am and headed towards SIA to be sheties..My 1st time ..to do that and on my birthday. Later on, the whole Tan family have lunch at Swensen..it was a rush..coz i need to go back and work..as can't abandon my dear colleagues..at the same time I dun want to abandon the Tan family as I knew to a certain extent, they are holding the lunch for me, thus I have already pre decide tat I would take a cab..

I knew mummy loves me..(sign..I use to feel she loves brother more..) Am surprise she gave me 2 treats..swensen for the whole family and the very ex vienna that cost $43 per pax.. I felt guilty for that..for she did not earn much and have work hard for the family for many years..Mummy, I want to give u a good life..!! And I hope that you will retire soon..!

I remember I reach Tanglin campus on time at 1pm straight..what i saw are busy bees..thus i quickly help them, my beloved colleagues..I like the espirit de corp..and the feeling of working together..which I never really experience in my past 4 working yrs experience..Which the last time I felt the sense of unity is working in theatre..Working with my colleagues, brings me back to youth and fun..which to me are the essence of working as a team :)

Time flies fast as we busy bees attend to gan jiong dae applicants..and 6pm came fast. I remember me and Rui En stayed a few min longer to see what we can do as there are still busy hardworking bees doing work as the day was a shifitng day..to prepare moving to woodlands campus..Finally! Rui En and me has been counting down for this day to come..

We are at the bus-stop soon after..Sweet Rui En pass me my birthday present - moisturiser! Which is good for body..yeah..can mei mei after bathe..Thank!

Shortly, I met my 4 fabulous angel gals..We have chillie crabs..Funny thing is that 'King of Crab' offer such good service that they use loudspeaker to shout 'ma ta ma ta!!' So funny!! People who are eating or halfway queueing run to prevent 'sa man'..Among the queueing crowds, I was greatly entertained and greatly appeased despite the 40 min of queueing up.. Happily being an audience. Enjoyed the dinner with the 4 fabulous angels.. After which, the 3 angels and me went to angel xiaopei's house.Watch TV, chat chat..angel hui helps me to make sound in my labtop..Had a good time..I have a pandan cake with slight cream and Fancl Make Up Remover from them too!! Thank you gals!!

4th Mar 2006

This is a casual and lighted day..Went kara with the 3 buddy pals..Its a simple and casual saturday! Great!

5th Mar 2006

Went to breeks with Da Guijin. Her birthday treat for me..Sign..I should have taken my coupon..What a waste.. Had always enjoyed a conversation with Da Guijin..
