but it somehow made my day hahaha...
i noe i bo paiseh hahaha...

*fret

Thanks to all the kind FB msg-es and SMS-es...
Taking concern of my dad who is involved in an accident...

I was with Zuli and Yessi when i received the news...
It was supposed to be a catchup with Yessi...
since she is going back to Jakarta for good...
and she just arrived a couple of days ago to collect her things...
I'm sorry I had to call it off and not being able to meet the rest too...

Anyway mum called, on the brink of tears...
I had to remain calm for the family...
and what i was told was that dad got flung off his bike...
in a pileup at PIE...

Earlier on i saw an accident at ECP...
which too caused a major jam....
and there was a bike in the middle of the road...
I thought it was my dad's...
and mum could get the info wrong...

So I called dad's mobile...
Apparently he is ok and is brought to CGH...
for a thorough checkup as dad is complaining...
his hips hurts badly and his hands were swollen...
So i rushed to pick mum up and head to the hospital...
Sis and later the fiance came too...
I'm seriously glad everything is fine now...
Was really worried sick for dad coz he's pretty much a safe rider...

On the other note, i did this



Do you think it would be a great gift for that special day?
I thought of framing this up and make a DIY card...
was also contemplating of getting cuff links too...
(if u have other suggestions, it will be much appreciated)

anyway i was asking date thru SMS...
at what stage are we in right now...
date wanted this to be discussed when we meet up face to face...
seriously, i'm feeling the jitters already...

*angel

Innocent = Cute :)

*matchmaker

is seriously thinking of opening up...
...... (insert drum roll)
...... (faster)
...... (louder)
a match-making agency!!!

wat spurs this u might ask?
well i have a few friends who are whining to me...
that its hard to find a potential date...
and they are on the verge of giving up...

so the kind me played "matchmaker"...
hahha so u might ask then...
wats the success rate?

well i can say the success rate is 0.1%...
coz we believe 99% depends on ur own effort...
there is only so much an agency can do ok... hahaha

what the agency can do is to provide u...
the fb profile of a potential date...
its up to u to click and add the person as a fren...
and take it from there...

prior to that...
we have statistics and profile matching app...
to see if you and the date are compatible...
we compare if both noses match...
if it matches, means its a go...

so y wait? sign up with us now!!!

FREE 10 FB profile for this V'day promotion!!!
(disclaimer: seriously, this is just random hor... not for real! hahaha)

*another bdae

I know its kinda belated post...
but i guess better late than never...
Happy b'day HC!!!

Its been a great 8 years of frenship...
More like brothers now hahaha...
Sometimes can be annoying coz I get bullied...
when WC is not around...
well, we hope u like the gifts and the lunch @ PS Cafe Dempsey...
(i should stop gg there often hahaha)...

WC a lil mad coz his order was kinda forgotten...
but we got a complimentary fries for the forgotten order...
which i more than welcome hahaha...

how not to like fries especially when its a thick cut ones?!!

i can't wait for this month to be over...

am anticipating the v'day (hehe)...

*ill be back

i prolly learnt a valuable lesson...
i was pretty much upset about the sms...
prolly the fact that i didn't expect the person to be such...
or rather that i wouldn't want to know if the person is of such...

frens had told me that i should be fair..
coz it happened a couple of years back...
and people do change...
and if the person is upfront to you in that manner...
it means the person doesn't wanna hide things...
and pretty much comfortable sharing it..
to that special someone...

i tried not to judge but i was really worried...
more so to prevent myself from getting hurt again...
but i was indeed taken by surprise again...
when the person wanted to pop by...
during my gathering with my ex colleagues...
and i was convinced then that somehow the person cares...

despite the busy weekend of seminars...
made time to even catch movie with me...
and now i really feel guilty of thinking of such...



I’ll be back
You will find me again
I’ll be back then
Nobody can like you more than I do
What’s this suddenly
What should I do
How can you do this to me
I believed your words you’ll love me forever
You promised we’ll never change
We’re the match made in heaven
It’s so true You told me
I’ll be back
You’ll find me again
I’ll be back then
Nobody can like you more than I do
You’ll be back
You will be back
So I let you go
I know that you cannot live without me
I’ll be back
You and I, we cannot be apart
Maybe you’re mistaken
This hard time comes to everyone Wake up
Think twice No matter how many times I tell you
You don’t listen to me My calls echo back
I’ll be back
You’ll find me again
I’ll be back then
Nobody can like you more than I do
You’ll be back
You will be backSo I let you go
I know that you cannot live without me
Listen baby girl
Ok, I will turn around I will let you go nicely like a man
I will be standing silently like a dead man far behind you
Without bothering you You will never know
Far far away so that you can forget me completely UH~
But you better know that I’m not giving you away
Will I ever stop waiting no way
It’ll be the same in my world I’m your boy You’re my Girl
I let you go for a moment I know you’ll be back
So don’t worry When you fall down I’ll be back
I’ll be back
You’ll find me again
I’ll be back then
Nobody can like you more than I do
You’ll be back
You will be back
So I let you go
I know that you cannot live without me
I’ll be back

Such deep meaning to a song I grew fond of...
and its true to how much it is close to my heart...

*work commitments

i couldn't help but to feel a little upset...
when you told me u have to attend...
a work seminar over this weekend...

we didn't manage to meet last weekend either...
coz a friend of urs wanted to spend time with you...
which is fine with me too...

and the following week...
i would be busy over the weekend...
for my sis engagement...

knowing that you would be spent out...
to meet during weekdays due to work...
i thought once a week wld be gd for us...
and it seems impossible even...

isit too much to ask or am i being difficult?
i feel like im going to shut myself in my shell again...

*of expectations and such

strangely the endless search for love...
but then we find excuses to not wanting to commit in one...

in need of personal space...
the other half is too demanding...
can't decide what I want right now...
too busy with work...
lack of commitment...
just wanna be friends and not more...
the many reasons I could think of...

and there again we tend to set expectations...
we blame that prolly its too high for one...
and when we lower 2 notches down...
we get ourselves too vulnerable and in turn gets hurt...

is love just hard for our kind?

*toothless

frankly, visiting the dentist is something i usually refrain from...
and recently due to unbearable pain...
i had no choice but to visit one...
and just when i tot i could save the tooth...
i realised the best option was to extract it...

the last time i visited another dentist was really a nightmare...
he told me that my tooth would need to be extracted...
and i swear i can see some glee in his eyes...
he used this big spanner (yes im not kidding)....
and tried wrenching my tooth out...
even though a painkiller was given...
i still could feel the pain...
and my lips even bleed from the force of it...
what makes it worst...
was non-stop bleeding for one whole day...

so i was kinda prepared for that...
and surprisingly the dentist was gentle...
making sure i dun feel any pain...
and within seconds my toot was extracted...
he even make sure and double checked my wound...
to see if my gum ain't swelling...
withing 3 hours the bleeding stopped...
much to my surprise (yay!!!)....

anyway i heard so many breakups recently...
and I'm kinda feel for it...
anyway i hope both of u work it out somehow...
somehow i knew u both were meant for each other...

*mistaken again

Salesman: Hi, do I need to take off my shoes?
Me: Yeah plz

Salesman: So do I speak English or Chinese?
Me: Erm English (gives the puzzle look)

Salesman: U're not chinese?
Me: Nope. Malay. (gets annoyed)

Salesman: Oh tot u Chinese, u have Chinese features
Me: Yeah I know. I get that a lot.

Salesman promoting some facial spa treatment...
which I bought in the end coz its on sale..
oh not for myself, prolly will give it to Wendy or Zaq...

Salesman: So ur parents or anyone in the line is Chinese?
Me: Nope. All pure Malay le...

Salesman: U confirm have many girlfriends right?
Me: Ah no la hahaha (I wish lo)...

Salesman: Really?
Me: Erm yeah single still...

Apparently he was kind enuff the take half box worth of namecards...
and help me promote my agency to his clients...
Hahaha such a nice person!!!
And really a weird moment!!!

*sunday brekkie

Sunday was well spent with Zaq...
I was pretty much feeling like the cookie monster today ahahha...

Initially the plan was to go to Gilman Village...
As i was driving there, i realised that...
it somehow looked deserted and tot we got it wrong...
and apparently after checking the GPS...
indeed we were in the right location...
and all were closed, definitely not serving brunch...
such eclectic place, but i guess business isn't good...
that's y there isn't any crowd...

so we decided to go Spruce instead...

I like the whole ambience of the place...
feels like Dempsey somehow...
and the food is generous and nice...

Zaq had Earl Grey Tea with Spruce's Big Brekkie...
While i had Ice Cappucino...
And Zaq insist i should try...
their Banana Pancake with Blueberry Sauce...

the pancake has Granola in it plus Blueberries...

super yummy can?! lol...

While having brekkie, Zaq was busy doing work...

while me, I played iPhone games and snap pics hahaha...

so we went vivo next and he ended up with buying more stuff...

and kinda blame me for it...

coz i was supposed to be the one getting stuff...

which i did, an Esprit shirt and a polo Tee...

but well i know shopping is his poison...

Hope u had a well-spent weekend too :)

*passion in your eyes

i've been approached by many agencies alike...
wanting to work alongside with mine...
and promised wonderland...
only to find out they are a pain to work with...

so here comes an ex-classmate of mine...
initiating the same gesture...
and wanting to fix an appointment with me...
to see if there is a possible collaborations...

So here's my take...
1. never do many rainchecks on someone, it show u ain't serious...
2. u wanted to have an agency of ur own, coz u hated ur day job...
3. u think having just connections is enuff...
4. u don't have a vision for the agency...
5. u think being a boss of ur own is damn cool...
6. u think everything is as easy as snapping ur fingers...

No doubt about it that some people...
are just plain lucky in business...
and they have the money to throw in...
but i believe its all about effort and sheer hard work...
Well to each their own right?

Anyway today me and Wendy went hangout...
and we decided to have lunch at Strictly Pancakes...



I should say its kinda overrated...
Everything was so average...
Nothing to shout about...
The pancakes wasn't really fluffy...
and Wendy agreed Macer's pancakes were better (opps)...

I should applaud for their cafe concept...
and the ambience but personally ...
food should be as good as the whole idea...

anyway we went to do a little shopping...
and i got myself a neat Topman booties for $50 bucks...
i was like a happy boy...
we sat down to have coffee in Starbucks (what's new! hahaha)...
and i saw a famous blogger whom i usually did read his post...
while me and Wendy was chatting...
Wendy noticed him snapping photos of us!!!...
and she said it was obvious coz he asked his fren...
to bend down and then a "snap" sound was heard...
and it was pointing at both of us...
anyway my back was facing them...
so I didn't really noticed...

hahaha enjoy ur weekend...
Im looking forward to spend my Sunday with Zaq 2mrw!!!

*so kimchi

ok i got everyone worried...
and wondering y I was at the police post...
nono nothing happen to me...
didnt get rape or anything serious ahahha...

well i went out to meet ZA and Sarah...
to do some catchups...
we had our dinner at Siglap...
and wanted to have a chillax session at The Cheesecake Cafe...
only to find it close (very weird to have it close on a Tuesday)...
so we made our way to B Bakery in Arab St area...

I got my car parked in Raffles Hospital...
and ZA says she needs to do the women's thing...
so me and Sarah waited outside the handicap toilet...
we then make our way to B Bakery...

ok i cant help it...
i gotta make a review on this place first hahaha...
(anti climax rite? I know!!!)

i must say the cakes are damn cheap!!!
where can u get cakes...
below SGD$4 bucks in a dine-in cafe?!
Tell me, tell me hahhaha...
So here's what we savored....

Carrot Cake - I prefer the Cedele one better lol....

forgotten the cake name but its chocolate...

awfully orgasmic la...

i never tasted a chocolate cake that is very rich....

sinful but must really try le!!!

Peach Tart - I think uber cute shape...

it has this tangy taste... I LIKE!!!

ok so back to the story...
we called for the bill...
and ZA asked Sarah where's her wallet...
ZA then realised she left it in the toilet...
so we went back to the toilet...
and as expected its stolen...

so yeah lo that's is why i was in the Police Post...
we waited 1 hour for our turn...
(i still dun get why there is so many people making reports at 11pm)...
and when it came to our turn...
we took an hour to lodge a report...
it got me pretty tired coz it past my bedtime hahaha...
and i got home at 2am...

apparently its not her first time losing her stuff...
as told by Sarah...
so i suggested she should chain her wallet...
around her neck!!!

hahaha and wen i told Zaq about it...
he went "so Kimchi!!!"...
i have to concur lol...

*snippets of u

1. Shopping - and u always said "i always end up with something and u don't"...
2. Quaint place to read
3. Pancakes - your poison
4. Olivia Ong - u bought her album on the third date
5. Fred Perry - u said the cuttings fit u perfectly
6. Gryphon Tea - camomile, ur favourite tea
7. Holidays - u went yay when i said yes to Phuket
8. Shitting - yes i was shocked too but u said its the best thing in life
9. Swimming - something u want to get back into routine again

i think its time for me :)

*of time and tell

was kinda prepared to spend the eve of new year alone...
and being me, i try to refrain from super crowded places...
and Zaq surprised me by a SMS again...
"Wanna meet a not or now very dao?"
Hahaha seriously, he probably enjoys seeing my reactions...
to such SMS-es...

sorry Wendy, gotta do rain check on ya...

besides the usual he finding things he needs to buy...
and me just tagging along without buying anything...
we ended watching Hello Strangers...



It started out as a simply hilarious plot...
A Thai guy who went on a group tour to Korea...
and a total cynical in love...
while the Thai gal is an avid Korean soap opera fan...
having to venture Korea together...
and in the end fall for each other...
due to heart breaks in each of their own love life...

What I think make this a must watch movie...
Is the fact that its touches every aspect of the emotion...
humor, love, sad and happy moments...
a key ingredient for a good movie...
and its an Asian movie!!!
well personally i feel Thais are good in making movies and TV ads...

Sunday was spent having brunch at Rider's Cafe...
let me tell u that it really feels as if u're not in Singapore...
situated at Green Fairway, near to Upper Bukit Timah...
this historical black and white building of the Bukit Timah Saddle Club...
with high ceilings and a great view of horses (if you 're lucky)...
is just a place to enjoy great food in a very loungy atmosphere...

i must say the toast that i had...
was orgasmic can?! hahaha...
it has this burnt caramel banana...
which is surprisingly so good...
Zaq had his pancakes, which he claimed is nice...
and he just dumped half on my plate...
and I could barely touch it coz the toast is very filling...
but the sauce and the pancake is as good as well...

i hope u guys had a gd head start to the year :)
oh yeah its nice catching up again ZA!!
