The Fire That Is Burning

" Perfection is not attainable
But if you chase perfection...
Then you will catch excellence "










1 more week
1 more week
1 more week to the highly anticipated Ex Transformers
Cant wait for the parade now
Cant wait for everything to be over
Cant wait for another chapter to begin
Need to endure just a little bit more now

Zhi Yan's 21st Bday



Where would you be when the moon is high in the night sky?



While lonely street lamps light up seldom frequent-ed paths...



With little or nobody anywhere



Plus clueless balloons seen hanging everywhere





Well....you just have to be at the PARTY PLACE!
(As shown by the crazy amount of ppl present
Personally I like the clarity shown on MX and Geok Ting's faces)


It was Zhi Yan's 21st bday at SAF Seaview Resort


A very pretty place
With massive icy-chilling wind blowing non-stop at you
And the sound dark waves continuously crashing onto the shore
It is of tremendous wonder how you turn your head around
And the party place was just behind you
Overly lit up with decorations and humans





MX say she discriminate against poly guys
That's disappointing to hear
But sadly what to do?
We ourselves have enough issues with transport fares, GPA and work
Hardly can care 2 bits about such discrimination already
=S

Well night time means having trouble with my settings again
=(

No tripod = many handshakes
As in not "shake hand" that shake, but Parkinson that kind of shake
Many to take around 100+ pics
And filtered out what was the better ones
:)



The 21st bday gal's "Castle Cake"
Plus nice ornaments placed there suitably for the occasion


The castle even had pink towers, 2 guards standing at the entrance
Some fencing and a key to the ONLY blue tower in the centre
Quite a concept isnt it?
Wonder it there is any hidden meaning behind it
=p


Zhi Yan seen in a flustered emotion state
Busy girl doing plenty of stuff
Like running around attending to guests
Serving food
Taking stuff here and there
Entertaining others


Well she had her BOYFRIEND aka our Tan Gek aka our Platoon Sergeant
Mr Tan Wei En to share the load too

The crowd was very fiesty
Asking for..........*guess guess guess*

...
...
...
...

Yes the EVER-FAMOUS "LA-JI!!!"
LOL!

This kinda be the most in-thing now
Any bday also got la-ji
Dont care whether is boy-boy, girl-boy, or girl-girl
What's with the world now?
=/

Anyways Lin Hong then said something like "La-蛇" or what
Trying to instigate the crowd
And someone shouted across that Zhi Yan's parents were around
So ya, even 21st already have to behave properly
Totally ROFLMAO!



You can even see Wei En's sweat on his shirt
That's how busy he is too
Making sure Zhi Yan don't even perspire one bit
So that she can look pretty and nice for the cake-cutting session
Awwwww
Max caring right?

Joyce then shouted "Wah seh! Wei En 汗流浃背!"
LOL!
Everybody laughed again

And one of the flower decor on the card suddenly dropped
While Wei En was presenting the card
Prompting Joyce to say something like
"Wah lao! Wei En 你没有粘好好!"
*cues paisehness and laughter among the crowd again*



Had to retake their photos upon request
Too many cameras
Too many ppl
Too hard to squeeze forward to shoot something nice
Too many flashes while shooting
Totally like taking an exam to snap pictures there
=.=



Let the DSLR do the trick!
:)

To take this massive group of ppl that were Zhi Yan's friends/relatives
Wei En had the uphill task to gather all of them
(like Pokemon trainer sia!)

So he then turn here run there etc
But to no avail
Next what he did was BEST!

"EVERYBODY GATHER!!!"

Ala Pulau Tekong style
LOL!
Platoon Sergeant calling his Recruits to take photos!
Once he shouted it out
He had his hands cupped around his mouth
And everybody was staring at him
Awkward silence everywhere
Then from the crowd someone clapped and called out "Sergeant!"

Damn FUNNY!
Cannot stop laughing sia!
Epic paisehness twice in 1 day
=DDD


Zhi Yan's closest friends

So after that just hang around
Eat cake
Chit chat make merry(as if) and lepak
Saw familiar faces like Hui Min and Ying Han
Helped Zhi Yan to take photos so that Wei En can get from me
(and wonder why he isnt here to take the thumbdrive yet)

But night time, seriously still having trouble
Especially while shifting from the party place to a darker place
Whereby background is dark and stuff
Cant use back the original settings too
Set high ISO and a slower shutter speed already
Shutter priority used too
(realised apeture priority is totally useless)
But aiya...still got problems
Like these 2 photos below...





Use flash also cuiz!

Ok my point is not show the cuiz photo!
LOL!

Just to show the "vegetable" on the right
Ok not "vegetable"
Keep using these words in camp
Puipui!

Is the pretty and cute girl on the right
SMU got different standards leh!
=p

Totally need more friends from SMU to have 21st party
Or any party that doesnt require 3rd-degree friends
Ahahaha!
2nd degree is ok already
The rest I can work hard
Muahahaha!
=p


2E1 gathering


And the ex-chairman or vice-chairman then
Dont even know as they argue themselves out
The 2e1 ppl that is





3 of them are going to ORD like in 2 weeks?!
Best!
So jealous!!!

Aiya! Suxxor....
='(


Lastly got free time to take a nice photo with the bday gal
:)


And ending off with the sweet couple
:)

Anybody still hosting 21st bday celebrations?
Can I carry on celebrating my one?
=)


Clever




Just a tongue-in-cheek video to share
:)

This is something damn epic clever!
Just a brilliant video with hidden meanings all over it
From the start to the very end

If you dont really get it
It could boil down to 2 things

1) You are not really updated on current world affairs

or either that

2) You are just too into Apple products

Some help I suggest
Go check out the comments made on YouTube
Its just watching this video on YouTube and see what the
other netizens have commented on
I have to rewatch it to grasp what they were really hitting at

If Singapore has any guy doing this, the closest he can be is Jack Neo
=)


Some nice pics to share too
Not taken by me lah!
Credits to the person who post-processed it or captured it


Define cuteness in this
=)

Stop with the annoying chipmunks stuff
With the little kids blasting Chipmunk-voiced "Right Round" by Florida
Its just plain irritating
Sometimes you wonder why the parents gave them HP in the 1st place
=x


There is a study trying to find out what's the relationship
between those who cross their left arm over their right and vice-versa
It's said those who cross their left arm over their right naturally
(and that's me!)
Are ppl who use their heart to think more than their brain
Which is quite untrue to my friends whom I presume think differently

But maybe that's why my heart allows me to flare up more than I should
Cuz it's the 1st reaction that comes to the nervous system
Causing me to act in a way that I maybe shouldnt have
And the brain needs to feel that it is not right to do so
Ah~!
Chimology
But it's a statement that is considered food-for-thought I guess
:)


Spongebob is......just weird~

But this picture is quite meaningful though
With the statement and all
To all those who likes the cartoon character
This is for you!
(I prefer Patrick the starfish though)


Been there
Experience that

Still there
Still experiencing that
=/



Last but not least
This picture is like single-handedly says it all

" Everytime I think about you,
I have to remind myself,
that if you wanted to talk to me,
you will....."

This message goes out to ppl like.....
Zhiwen (seriously this is a huge blow to you, hope everything goes well)
Joanne (just read her blog and felt it might be meaningful to her)
and to me too!

Ok I got nothing wrong
Just loves discovering new and meaningful stuff
Blog-stalking is....just Discovery Channel in itself
:)

Attending my 1st 21st bday of others this year
More to come definitely
Big birthdays = big celebrations (?) = big groups of ppl (?)

Ah! What did they say about going to big parties?
=p

1st Month of the Latest Lim



And the Lim Family welcomes its latest member
Sharmaine Lim Shi Min



Just like her older sisters
Always super hyper active
1 month old and her hair is so long already



And I realised my Ah Ma doesnt keep her hair dyed anymore
Not since after Ah Gong passed away
=(



Ah Ma and Bro

And the day was filled with little kids running around
The new houses in Toa Payoh are very pretty btw
Can consider buying next time
=)



The little boy who is super excited by the purple dino called Barney
Innocent eyes there



My favourite cousin - Deyang
Getting a lil' bit naughty



And my cousin's newborn
My bro thinks that she is very cute
Got Michelin tyres hand
Haha!
Go google and see images of Michelin's logo please!
=p





Ke Yun and Deyang
Ke Yun's Hokkien is better than mine
Makes me wonder if I can communicate with her in Hokkien
=.=


I have one at home too!
Winnie the Pooh Bear's best friend








2nd Uncle carrying Ba Bao (肉包)
LOL!
He is like less than 12 months or what
Seriously meaty~!
Looks abit like Wayne Rooney too!
=D

Love this series of pictures
Shows the side of a caring grandfather
Especially the 2nd pic
The lighting and contrast sucks though
Blame it on the lighting at Toa Payoh
=/

Ok still tuning to using the camera plz


The 老大 of the family - En En













Not bad for a young girl who loves to put anything and everything
........into the mouth
Very hard to take care of kids like that
Will have heart attacks sooner or later

And yes the new Toa Payoh flats
What's so good?
Is that there's a rooftop garden
(hopefully not polluted by young delinquents smoking there)



Excellent view of TPY central
Opposite the MRT directly somemore



With plenty of ongoing construction still


And yes my Mom is amazed by the zoom capabilities of the DSLR


Ending off with my Mom at the rooftop garden
And the excellent view of TPY central as the backdrop

:)


There are too many young little kids for me to rmb whats their name
And whose kids are those
Crazy~!
