My youngest brother got married yesterday. It was a long day and everyone in the family was busy helping in one way or another.

Mom had been preparing for this day.. Buying gold, getting the necessary stuffs, preparing food and cleaning up the house. She must have been really tired and yet excited.

I drove my parents to bro's new house at Punggol and upon entering, I was immediately impressed and filled with envy. The whole place look so contemporary, classy and cozy. I will love to stay in a place like that.

Brother came back with his wife and we started the tea ceremony followed by heading back to our house to pay respect to ancestors. Time flies and soon it was time for solemnization at a very classy and cozy small little event room in Raffles Town Club.

Everyone was seated initially but we were asked by emcee to stand. Smoke were produced, doors were open and the pretty bride was led into the room by her dad. Brother look so happy and I felt so happy for him too. Mom was the witness and after the vows, kisses and rings were exchanged followed by loads of applause. Marriage certificate was given and everyone was told to proceed to dinner ballroom.

Reception area was getting more and more crowded. Everyone was congratulating brother and his wife. I was not spared the usual questions. I just act busy as I was tasked to be the usher. Deep inside, I was just hoping for the reception to be over as fast as possible.

Dinner march-in was again another touching scene. I felt so happy and yet envy. I wish I can experience this one day too but I guess that will never happen. As I watched my brother marched past me, I did a silent prayer, for him to be happy forever. For a couple of seconds, I felt lonely but my happiness for brother soon overwrote everything.


I'm sure mom was super happy to see her son on the stage. After over 30 years, she finally get to see one of her son married. Mom was so pretty yesterday, I took several photos of her and with her. I hope she will one day forgive me for not able to live up to her expectations of seeing me married.

My youngest brother has indeed grown up. He have started his family with his wife and cozy little house.

May happiness be with you forever bro.
That's really my deepest and most sincere wish for you.

Have been sick and feeling like shit for the past 3 days.

It all started on Thursday morning when I woke up for work. Throat was very dry and my right jaw was aching when I try to open my mouth. As I have an event on Friday and have to do set up on Thursday evening, I have no choice but to head to office to work.

Reached office only to feel super weak and cold. Worked till 2 plus and my colleague seeing I was looking super pale offer to help me with the set up and ask me to go see a doctor and rest at home instead.

Managed to see my family doctor, gave the usual Paracetamol and some medicine for sore throat, jaw pain etc. Took the medicine and slept for the rest of the day.

Woke up at 5:40am on Friday, head to Suntec for event. Fever keep recurring every few hours. Colleagues once again were kind enough to ask me go home rest at 3pm.

I swore I have never sleep so much before. I think I practically slept 20 hours in a day. Woke up, severe headache, took medicine, go back sleep. This repeat every time I wake up. Hungry, cold and yet no appetite.

Mom has been so caring and helpful. Massaging my temple, buying vitamin pills, cook simple meals for me. Its been awhile since I felt so sick but I'm sure I will recover fast with her care. Once again, I feel like a small vulnerable boy and I'm really thankful to mom for everything that she has done for me.

Am going to bkk for Songkran next week where everyone is gonna pour water on everyone. I seriously need to get well in the shortest time possible.

God bless me. =)

Time flies and today is the last day of Feb. Could still remember we were having christmas celebration in the office and anticipating for the CNY holidays and everyone including myself was in holiday mood. They were all over before I even realize it.

This year has been a little special. I got on a new portfolio and I need to show results. I had to learn alot of things and undertake a lot more responsibilities. Things which I don't need to bother previously. I guess it has allow me to progress to another stage of my career. I have been stagnant for awhile and I'm thankful that I have been given this opportunity to move on.

Life has been good, work, gym, gatherings, dinners, movies, meet ups etc. I have been keeping myself with so much activities that I'm losing track of time.

It's true that once you are past 30, everything seems to fly. I'm going 33 in 6 months and likewise, I'll be in my mid 30s in a blink.

I'l probably update this little space every once in awhile so that I can keep track of me growing old, look back and see how I have changed over the years in terms of mentally and mindset.

Once again, I shall end this entry abruptly as I got an interviewee coming in 15 minutes. It's so difficult to find good people with the correct attitude in work. Wish me luck...

Valentine just got over, yet I'm feeling super lousy. I hate myself in a way, someone has been treating me super well and yet I end up hurting this person.

I don't like what I'm feeling at all and there's nothing I can do about it. All I say is thank you and sorry. I'll be around as a close friend, that's the least I can do...

Hugs!!

I can't help but feel sad.. Been a long time since I felt this way.

Life has been pretty routine. Work, gym, eat, sleep and work again. Dinners, movies, cafes have subconsciously became part of my leisure life and indeed, December has arrived yet again.

I'm living my life happily everyday except for the fact that I wish I have my own apartment. Something small, simple and yet cozy. I don't need big space anyway. A studio apartment will suffix.

I guess I have grown to become more independent. A relationship to me is more of a bonus currently. It's nice to have but not a must at this point of time. I hardly feel lonely anyway. Well, with bffs, gym buddies and friends around in addition to facebook, twitter and youtube, my life has always been fun and more fun.

I'm making the effort to sleep earlier, wake up earlier, go office earlier. I did improve considering that I used to wake up at 10am, reaching office at 11ish 12. Nowadays, I'm usually up by 8:45am and step into office before 10am.

Speaking of which, it's 12:36am which means I should be in bed actually. Beauty sleep time.. Bye!!

It's 11:58pm as I start writing this entry and I will be officially 32 as I finished this impromptu post. Taipei was fun with tons of shopping, shopping and more shopping. I enjoyed myself though at times, I still need to check and reply emails.

Had a last minute photoshoot with Audi and Noel over the weekend. The shots were beautifully taken with my cap covering half of my face most of the time. It somehow makes the photos nicer as long as my full face isn't shown.

Had a simple birthday celebration in the office earlier. Gotta wake up earlier tomorrow due to some work matters. I always make it a point to take leave during birthday but alas, this year I can't. Hope my boss will be kind enough to let me go in the afternoon after what needs to be done are done.

Happy Birthday to me... =)
