Okay, I fess up. I am still a child in the sense that I love watching cartoons. Anime in particular. Anyone of you other than ML are regular anime watchers too? Wana compare lists or recommend favourites to each other?

I look up at my calendar and realise all of the suddenly I have roughly only 2 months left!!!

Ouch....lets do it again sometime soon k guys? :P

One of my "trophies" from the sentosa outing for 1s22 along with RB on sunday. Dun know which scrummage this injury came from, but after a day, it's starting to be really irriating. Not so much that it hurts, just a slight twinge whenever I touch it accidentally, but more on the inconvenience it causes. Grr...Haha.

HOWEVER, I personally thought we had great fun at sentosa on sunday. So the sun wasn't blazing, but at least it didn't rain a single drop all day as well. We all got a nice mild tan with not a single case of sunburn. Of course, it felt a little different with the absence of Nes, Pat and Zhen, but another beach outing is in the works for when they do get back. Hoorah! More beach volleyball, frisball, frisbee, touch rugby (maybe? sorry steve :P) and pure wild scrumming from sand-line to water-line! Hehehe.

To the gang, thanks for adding to fond memories and great times!

Of Dumplings & Men

Ok, so I'm cheating a little here by "back-date" posting, but since the "dumpling" festival only just passed on sat, it's not too late yet, is it :P Well, there's revealation for me this year: I've never eaten a "Ki Zhang" in all my 22 years. Not till this year! Courtesy of ML's grandma cooking no less. This is the kind of dumpling that is smaller than the usual ones that come stuffed with fillings and the glutinous rice is slightly yellow in colour when cooked. You're supposed to eat it with certain kind of condiments (sugar, kaya, dark soy sauce, etc) and RB kindly provided me with some wholesome natural honey from his fridge :) EXCELLENT combination. Accordingly, half of the credit goes to RB as well for this wonderful culinary discovery of mine. How apt, two of my best friends each pitched in with their own ways to this: ML's family's excellent cooking and RB's family's healthy but still tasty foods. I apologise for the lack of pics as I gobbled down the only "Ki Zhang" ML gave me before any pic taking thoughts crossed my mind. Yes, I'm a pig. Proud to be one too. Shall leave ya with some cute pics fifi sent to me instead, pertaining to "zhangs" of course!

Postcards of Life

Found these "post cards" at http://postsecret.blogspot.com/ which Fifi's sister pointed out to me once and here are a few that really struck a chord with me. They may or may not seem nice to you, but these few somehow managed to reach out to me for various reasons.

Onto the first postcard: I wonder how many internet relationships really work out in the real life?


It sux not having somone you can talk to, but then again there are some things you'll never tell a 2nd soul


The next 2 postcards are also on loneliness. Is it true that we as human being all crave to be loved and be THE ONE to someone?





The next 2 are about a uniquely human trait: self-destruction. It's almost like addiction, the way we seem to ensnare ourselves into harmful practices. Just what is it that stops us from moving on? Force of habit? Fear of new unfamiliar grounds?

Grouping this together as I feel addictions to drugs/alcohol is born out of the same faults that cause us to hold onto harmful relationships



This person must be in such sweet exquisite pain. Hopefully she (assuming that poster is a she cos of the colours) muster up enough courage to at least try confessing to her best friend. Then again, she might keep it bottled up inside forever, like the person who did the sealed envelope postcard. So much is at risk here...




That's IT! :) I seem to be posting on sundays quite often... hehehe, sort of a summary to the week? Well, nothing of import happened really. Mom's overseas again. Uhmm... I'm stuck at home getting fat. (work doesn't really seem like work to me at the moment) Oh, I'll be attempting to teach Jamie maths (specifically functions) tomorrow. Maths, ACK! I hope I'll be able to manage.

one of the 7 sins: GLUTTONY

OMG, how ever did we manage to eat so much!!!! here's an excerpt from what Charity said:

"Let me tell you about the time.. We rose
up to heaven.. only to descend into hell
faster than you can say "Prata Heaven!"

The hot plate tofu was the greatest man!
Who goes eat zhi char and orders double
helpings of hot plate tofu one?! We are
the incredible disgustingly piggish
gluttons. Sam you are damn wussy. How
can you choose not to eat rice. Make all
of us look fat only lor. *smack you*

Recap of the night:
- 5 ppl - Me, You, ML, YS and Hardy
- 2 hotplate tofus
- One sliced fish soup
- 7 plates of rice
- 1 black pepper venison
- 1 vege (xiao bai cai)
- 1 gu lu you
- 4 cheese pratas
- 3 kosong pratas
- 2 banana pratas with ice cream
- 1 paper prate with ice cream
- 1 banana prata
- unlimited servings of hysterical
laughter and great company from JOOK."

for everyone's info, I did cave in and eat half a plate of rice in the end, but considering the amount we later had at the prata stall.......... Argh.... I AM STILL FULL!!!

Hahaha, but it was all in good fun, was celebrating Chat's bday and yes, there was unlimited fun and good will all around tonight.

I think it's officially 1st June now? Happy Bday Chat!
