First I met up with my cousins and sister, we had Dinner and went KTV-ing from 06 Nov till 07 Nov… Haha, dinner atmosphere was very comical… and KTV was hilarious, because of 1 song (Jordan Chan – Wo Ai De Ren) that made us started laughing and soon we started singing ‘High” songs…

Why that song, because he had a constipated look and he keep sitting on the "emo" chair… LoL

Then on sat afternoon, spent my time at Granny’s place till 9plus… we had a cake cutting session, haha… together with Bryan (my cousin’s birthday on the 11th and he is 12 years YOUNGER; omg)

Then at night was off to St James for the night of partying… I can only remember parts of the night… think till the part where they open the 2nd bottle of Hennessy, I drank a cup of Lamborghini, my cousin’s friends came… and I went to toilet to merlion inside the dustbin… LoL

Last was zongjin asking me to drink tequila… but I managed to siam (I think so)…

Sunday was a hangover day… No appetite, merlion thrice… LoL… finally I felt like a human and return to Earth this morning…

And surprisingly, weixiong today sms me… say start of a new day, so it’s the start of the new jotter book… LoL, jotter book will note down all the “BAD THINGS” for the year till your birthday then that’s when we settle the score… (^.^!) die liao… that definitely made my Monday blues GO AWAY!!!!

MC for 7 days... then kena remedial training... now even better.... admitted into hospital for an abscess (aka collection of pus) under his armpit, need to do minor surgery... in for 1 day liao, can be discharged today... but they are waiting since 5pm....

Took a day off work yesterday... Had to leave for awhile...

Because ... because... because...

My brother was ENLISTED to the 'T' island ... officially on the way to become a REAL MAN...



Going to miss him... although he will be back on the 28th, but it will be 13 days without seeing him and him making me laugh with his stupid antics...

Erm, and I did not cry when during the last stage of 'sending' them off... LoL... But there was an uncle beside me that has tears in his eyes, I was shocked lah... The boys can make it one, uncle don't have to worry, I felt like telling him that...

Well, 6 months from FAT to FIT ... *\(^_^)/*

from Genting with bestest cousins 1 & 3 and brother... LoL

We had fun doing nothing much... basically is R&R time for working hard during this economic crisis... Well, we did some shopping, went to the theme park, watch a movie and ate nice / not nice food...

And I managed to Twilight-ED, New Moon-ED and now is Breaking Dawn-ING... Did not get to Eclipse-ING because I don't have it...

Understand?? haha, I mean I'm reading the vampire-romance novel written by author Stephenie Meyer which considers of 4 books at the moment...

So Eclipse is with Gina, so I reading the 4th book first, anyway already into the last third of the book... LoL... I know I'm fast, I tend to do speed reading.... If it interests me lots, I will re-read the book again to fully absorb the scenes...

They are filming the New Moon, hopefully it would be nice to watch, I love the scene where Bella saved Edward, their love is very intense... LoL, I guess forbidden love is always very alluring....

I had a dream, my brother ask me to follow him to a room...

A dark room, which I can't see a thing... But

I heard a voice... It was mom's voice... She called me, "Evonne"

Then, my alarm chose the moment to ring... Haiz

What is she trying to tell me... I guess it must be asking me to REMIND my brother to work hard for his FINAL EXAMS...

:S

Into the 3rd day in Rome... LoL

Basically we sleep early here, 10+ and we are ready to go to bed... but we wakie early, 2nd day we were awake at 0500hrs because we are going to Naples, Pompeii... A place with 2000yrs of history, I think...

Shall update with photos when we are back in sg... Weather is cold in morning and night, but afternoon, it seems bearable...

Hopefully, we still have wireless connection in Paris... London is confirmed dun have because need to pay for it...

Today is my cousin last day at work, and our last day of countdown to TOKYO!! WheeeEE

Hmmm, yesterday went to my cousin's place to deliver my luggage, because Friday I'm still working till latest 6pm then have to fly to airport liao... Take MRT better or Taxi leh... No one send me there lor, unlike my "godfather" who is a 24-filial father.. LoL

Oh my, I just very excited lah... First time on a F&E thats so exciting, because usually still got more than 2 travellers mah... But i'm sure we can conquer Tokyo, by just following our plan, which has some japanese text... Our last help if we are LOST...

LoL, okok... when i'm excited, i go blah blah blah... shall update with more photographs when we are back...

(^.^)v

I worked as a crane operator earning $6000 to $7000 a month in order to raise my family; my parents, my wife and my children…

I have to purchase a car, as it is easier and faster for me to travel to different construction sites…

I often work long hours, spanning to at least 18hours thus I spent little time with my children; I decided to use money in exchange for time. They do not have to do holiday jobs, I bring them on long vacations every year end, they have sufficient pocket money excluding money needed for school...

But now many years later, I realized the kinship between us do not exist…

Few years ago, I met with a mishap at work and was seriously injured… I even lost my memory and have to depend on medicine to get fully recovered… But my children are not around to support me...

Now that my family on consists of my wife and I, I do not need to work so hard as before; I decided to drive taxi for a living…

I feel so depressed when I see other families having so much kinship. I easily tear when I talk or even think about my children not acknowledging us as parents.

Now, I just do not want to think too much. Live my life with my wife happily now as we did not have time to go dating during our younger days…


--------
The above is a true story… narrated to me by the Taxi uncle (approx 60 years old bah) yesterday… I feel so sad for him, that I quietly slipped him an extra $2 from my fare…

It is not much lah, but I just want to do something for me…

There is always another side of story that I do not know lah, but nothing is stronger than kinship afterall... Hopefully uncle and aunty will be happy till the end... (^-^)

Uncle (Citycab SHC7072K), 加油!!

It has been a great trip (of shopping and eating)… Although was chopped like a carrot on the first night there, the seafood dinner was too expensive, recommended by the cab driver that send us to the Hotel… but it is very funny that the next cab driver that sends us to the Restaurant used to work in Singapore… LoL

Cabbies are still mostly touting in Bangkok… They Love Farangs (Tourists in Thai), because they can chopped us like carrots when we take their cabs… they tend to charge double than using Meter…

Went to Patpong at night, and saw my first “Thai Girls” show… very illegal and disgusting anyway… And “sort of” feel threatened in the end, paid up and leave the dodgy place fast…

Had a first “being surrounded by many Thai Chinese males” trying to pull us into the “Gogo Boys Clubs” experience, managed to peek and see some guys in “CK look-alikes White Undies” doing Pole Dancing while escaping from the alley… Was very irritated at first but after managing to dodge, it feels very funny that they keep telling us inside got “shuai ges (very handsome guys)”

Very sad that I did not buy the “Miu Miu” bag, it is very appealing but at Patpong sure more expensive than any other places… The first night ends at us going back to Hotel after seeing their seedy nightlife…

Did 2 days of shopping… Chatuchak Weekend Market, Platinum Mall, MBK, and a little of Pratunam Market...

First was Chatuchak Weekend Market on Saturday morning, and we only managed to complete like 1/3 of the Market only… And it is too warm and crowded to continue anyway… Managed to buy somethings there, and being a “seasoned traveler” in Bangkok, I brought along a sling bag for the purchases…

Next was Platinum Mall at Pratunam (opposite Amari Watergate), it has become very crowded now, think too touristy and places are more expensive that what it used to be… but I managed to buy more things there… We went back there on our last day for about 4hours of shopping…

Went MBK on the 3rd day, MBK used to be a must-go shopping center, now with Platinum Mall, I only brought 2 tops there… but found very cheap contact lens for my brother… Focus Dailies 30 lens (15 pairs) at 400Baht (S$16.50)… Actually wanted to buy their Thai Brand contacts, Daily lens; 10 lens (5 pairs) for 180Baht (S$7.50), but Fiona and bf managed to find this optical for the cheap contacts… they bought like at least 6 months supply… LoL

Local goodies at MBK is also a must if you have no chance to go Chinatown… cheaper than Airport lah, but definitely slightly more expensive than outside… I bought 800Baht (S$30+) worth of goodies…

Bought the "Silk Robe" for my sister at a Bargain (I hope so), the store owner quoted me 480Baht, but because I'm the first customer, he agreed to sell it to me at 350Baht, hope his sales has really been "lucky lucky" for the rest of the day...

The 2nd night was an expensive dinner at the ex-The State Tower (The Dome), now I think it is a luxury hotel named The Lebua.

We had fine dining at the 64th floor restaurant (The Sirocco), overlooking a pretty skyline of the Bangkok lights… it was kind of pity that it rained… so we had to shift inside after 5 minutes of sitting at our table… LoL, it is similar to our Equinox with nicer scenery and outdoor dining… I think we are the most under-dressed patrons for the night…

The Lemon Grilled Spring Chicken is very delicious, it wasn’t supposed to be so filling but I couldn’t finished my Main Course, maybe it was the free flow bread that filled me up more!! Dinner was around 1500baht for myself, thats works out to be S$60+, luckily due to the rain we have complimentary Champagne... 250ml of Evian costs approximate S$4 (380baht for 1000ml bottle)

Did 1hour of foot massage with Gina on the 2nd night (after the fine dining at Sirocco), it was very relaxing and clean… When washing my legs, the water is super hot think more than what our body is accustomed to (or maybe just because my feet is cold from the rain)… it feels hotter than the 42degrees Celsius from the Hot Spring in Taipei…. and the person who massages my legs is an 18-year-old male teenager (younger than my brother)… Haha, I feel so old, think he is shocked to hear that I’m ermm… 27 this year… LoL… He keep asking whether I’m cold, but due to the medicated oil (menthol feeling) they are using on our legs, I don’t feel cold…

Wanted to do another foot massage on the 3rd day but we had no chance to bath, and down to our last dollar, Gina and I had to leave for Singapore with aching legs…

Btw Hotel PJ Watergate is satisfactory, it is more of a superior tourist hotel (around 2.5 to 3 star rating), but I’m quite disappointed that they charge me 10baht when I asked the reception for helping me check out where is The Sirocco, and how to tell the Cabbie… Otherwise, they provide me with a clean room to sleep 5-6 hours at night and provide me with American Breakfast… Haha...

Super sian with Tiger Airways lah, delayed for 30mins... We were all sitting and waiting at the Boarding Area for around 1hour... So please expected delays if you are taking Tiger Airways...

I went with a 7kg baggage and returned with a total of 12kg baggage (2 bags)… LoL…I definitely missing the cheap clothes, food and massage already… Next time, I’m gonna do foot massage every day while in Bangkok… 1hour for 160Baht (that’s around S$6.50)…

Nothing to do, so post some photographs...

ME and My DIVA shades... LoL

Since my last post for my Grandpa

This year it is already the 9th year... Time flies, and unfortunately my Mom had joined him in heaven...

The wounds may have already healed and I do not cry as easily as before... But I'm missing my Grandpa deeply... I'm missing my Mom badly...

I often wonder how different it will be if he is still around... Maybe he will advise my mom to undergo proper treatment, and she will still be around... Grandma will be happier than what she is feeling now...

But I guess things are all fated, when time's up, no matter where you are, what you do and who you are, you still have to go...

Time heals, but the damages are already done!!

Haha, finally went for the MacRitchie walk and after walking for approximately 5.4km before we can reached the HSBC Treetop walk (which is only 15mins)… abit siao hor, but it is fine lah, cos a big group go hiking…

The start of our trek...

MacRitchie Reservoir

Destination reached!!

"High" on the Bridge

An advice, must bring a lot of water lor, I alone drank around 1-litre of water lor…

Next time must try Bt Timah Hill, LoL, but look at us, we are both very "cui" after an approximate 4km walk... LoL



You know it is so tiring that in order to exit at Venus Drive we got to walk 2.9km… Our whole "ordeal" took about 4 hours, before finally reaching AMK Hub for our late lunch!!

But I really enjoyed my walk, because I spent my time wisely exercising… but then once I reach home, due to being exhausted and waking up too early… I fell asleep around 430pm, then on-off wakie awhile all the way to 615am the next morning… LoL

Next week gonna be another busy week… because Sat we are goin to MacPherson, Sun we are going for “full month” celebration and Mon got wedding dinner… so we have lots of things to do AGAIN..

Well, met up with Gina, Joey, together with my sis and brother...

We went to KBox at JEC and K-ed from 7pm till 1.30am... a total of 6.5hrs...

LoL... we took turns, 1 song each... can say we sang our hearts out...

WeeEeee...so happy, altho did had some ktv sessions recently but not enough lah... and think now no form to sing K liao... suddenly like no strength to sing le... LoL
