V-Day 2oo8

i was checking back my blog to see if i can find records of past yr's V-Day. But, boh. so as u can see, it's reali just another day. nothing particuparly special.

i recalled there's one yr in poly, i bought 2 dozen of nice plastic roses, personalised them with little self-made labels and distribute them to my class and courses mates. i jus wanted to show my appreciation to them as a friend, and some warmth on this day.

but 10 yrs from then, i'm totally lazy abt it. i din even send a single sms out to any friends. it's like my 12 feb, 13 feb, 15 feb... but stil, i din wanna stay at home. so i called Ker up and see if she wants to meet for dinner and then shop at Challenger. Yes. u heard me rite. Challenger at Funan. we were sort of 'hooked' on the fun seeing & hearing each other over webcam. i knw, some old women trying to be techy. and it's like we hvnt seen each other enough!

ker bought a decent $29 webcam. totally satisfied and happy. we decided to spend our V-day at Sake Sushi Funan. Simpily becoz we thot it wld be the least crowded pl with pretending-to-be-loving couples.

so we had a good dinner and ended with yummy Haagen Dazs ice-cream & sobert.



on my way walking home, my mp3 randomly played this song by 戴愛玲, 對的人:

...愛要耐心等待　仔細尋找　感覺很重要. 寧可空白了手　等候一次　真心的擁抱. 我相信在這個世界上　一定會遇到 . 對的人出現..在眼角

wat am i waiting for...? just a 對的人 i guess ...

CNY 2008

waiting for Ah Yee and Shirley to drive us together to 'return prayers' or favours we've asked for during the past yr. quite reluctant to go out. i stil hv a whole steamboat in my tummy! the best thing to do now is to just relax at home and watch some movies.

this is a special reunion dinner and a CNY for me this yr. not many know why, but i reali wld treasure every thing abt it.

u knw tt movie by Andy Lau, Tong meng Qi Yuan? the las time i saw it, i shed some tears. deeply impacted that we dun reali hv much time to waste over small matters. this evening, i saw it the 2nd time. stil, i'm moved to tears again. u can say i'm emo, but time is reali too short to hold grudges. and it's a fact tht "life is a one way passage. we only pass it thru once. u cant be 26 anymore once u pass it. u can only regret but cant re-live it. maybe it's good that we do not need to re-live it again."(my sis quoted this and add in her own example...:P)

what do u wanna do when u 'stil hv time'? i'm 31 this yr. i've said it when i'm 25, that i wanna do something. i dunno wat i wanna do to consider 'successful', but i'm thankful tht i've led a wonderful life so far.

before i left office today, i said out loudly that "i would 'turn over a new leaf' when i'm back fr holidays!". Chong Xin Zhou Ren. hehe...

anyway. Happy Rata Year! Come Snake again i'll be 36. i wonder wat wld i be like ...

M.I.L

seems like every friend around me, tt I knw of, has got a problem with their mother-in-law. and friend's friend, and friend's cousin, and friend's friend's other friends, and frr ... ok, u get what i mean.

u see, let's put it this way - we cant always see eye-to-eye even wif our own mum, what more it's other ppl's mum u've gotta put up wif! technically, u've got no responsibility for that woman shouting from the kitchen u knw. sigh, but hell, tt auntie is ur beloved hubby's mum lo. u can hate it all u wan, u stil gotta face it.

and stereotype of MIL: like to nag, like to bully and wronged their DIL, tend to say,' i actually treat u very well one ah, i nv pian-xin one!". but to recite this is jus to cover and explain what they hv lack doing. Sam Leong said,"只有作错事的人才需要解释."

and there are 2 types of DIL: one of those tht are very chia, wil fold arm, talk back and roll-eyes; the other is the typical 'good' DIL - juz look down look away and keep quiet. simply to avoid more nagging and unpleasant chain effects.

i muz say it takes huge effort and lotsa and lotsa tolerance to go thru these. and most DIL kept quiet becoz they do not wan to sandwich their hubby in-between. so, it also take them a high level of 'love' to be able to pull thru.

my colleague asked me not to be scared. "no i wun. i knw in time to come, i'll hv mine to deal wif." but i will not worry until then. or if i ever hv to worry.

so all hubbies out there, spare a thot for ur lovely wife. but coax ur grouchy mum too. after all, they r 'sharing' a man they love so much with another woman!
