Anything 4 You

D-day
It is the day I waited for so long
It's 4 years in the making
And they say I'm a patient man

"Wait for the man who would do anything 4 you"

I did
4 years

Sorry but I think I'm awesome!
Hahahahahahaha!

Check out the big pearly white smile!
(and the biceps too!)
Poetry in motion!
Hiakhiakhiakhiakhiakhiak!

Sub 5
Who says it is not achievable?
Fitness and health is priceless
I dont need a beach body
Because I got a strong mind and never-say-die attitude

如果生命是一场马拉松



如果生命是一场马拉松
那就让我们一起。。。。
加油!
:)

Because tonight
I'm gonna fight
Till I see the sunrise

Don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop
Till I cross the finish line

Tonight
Sleep can wait
Beat the sunrise
Sundown 2011 Marathon
I can do it
:)


In this imperfect world
You cant expect everyone to be perfect
Because you yourself is not perfect either
So maybe
Just maybe
We need to learn to better understand others
Take the time to go and culture the relationship more
Be it friends or partners
At the end of the day
You cant want someone to be the exact replica of yourself
Because its a horror if that person isnt the one staring
straight back at you in the mirror

Therefore
Accepting others flaws
And knowing that ourselves also do contain certain ones
And encouraging each other
To change for the better
Be it possible or not
As long as you have tried
You can lift up your chin
Stomach in, chest out
Look proud stand tall
And say that you are not a failure
Because you have tried
As long as you have tried
Then the outcome
Its just a matter of how you view it

Listening is a skill
Its so hard to acquire

接纳不完美的自己


每一个人对自己的要求都不一样

世界上的“美”为什么都要一个模样?

一眼望过去每个美女都长得差不多
长发,美腿,香肩

一眼望过去每个帅哥都长得差不多
古铜色, 六腹肌,宽肩膀

人不可能完美
每个人身上都有自己不愿触碰的一面
有些人不惜代价
竭力伪装成人人喜欢的好人
结果反而活在痛苦中

事实上
每个缺点背后都隐藏着优点
每个阴暗面都对应着好的一面

接纳自己
就是喜欢自己
一个喜欢自己的人是充满自信的
对待自己态度是积极的
这种从内到外所散发的美才是最持久
最美的

E-go

1. the “I” or self of any person
a
person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing
itself from
the selves of others and from objects of its thought.

2.
Psychoanalysis
the part of the psychic apparatus that experiences and reacts to the outside world
and thus mediates between the primitive drives of the id
and the demands of the social and physical environment.

3.
egotism; conceit; self-importance


Often
People cant see the thin line between ego and confidence
Being confidence is believing in yourself
Rather than leaving your fate to God
And pray that you might need a helping hand in some way or what

If you pray
There is nothing wrong
But dont you want to look back and see what you could have done better?
Because as the saying goes
" 平时不烧香, 零时抱佛脚 ”
God cant save you
Seriously

In life
I'm a firm believer of
“ 人命胜天 ”

One of the best

I think these are some of the most satisfying photos
I have captured this time round
Got the "feel good" factor after viewing them on my computer screen
:)















Reflections oh reflections
I think the borders looks great to me
Poster stuff perhaps?















If I got wide angle lens
Should have been able to get the whole of MBS in
Without the Helix by the side
But yup, still feels slanted angles gives the photo dynamism















Lotus!
莲花 is good-looking!















Wanted to capture the never-ending feeling of the trees running into the background
Doesnt know if it works?
Cuz I'm blurred by the result too
Don't know should be happy or not















The Art Science Museum
Joel got one from the top angle
His is way better than mine















Joel the emo kid take home the "Picture Of The Day"
Taught me how to get such good lighting
Nice!
:)

All the pictures had overlay and softlight focus
Suddenly they looked so different
;)

Crybaby















It's a crying shame
Really

Feeble attempts at cooking up excuses
Is just intolerable
Coming from a female friend
You deserved to be hit
With a barrage of uncalled for words that is
But.....I stopped short of that
I changed
Because I grow stronger
You don't
Don't tell me sorry because you're not

Where have your morals gone to?

Unemployed








As I sit at home
Unemployed
Bored
And growing fatter and fatter by the day
I realised no matter how bad my NS experience was
I can still think of the positive part of it
And know that I am actually being paid for doing things
like running, keeping myself in shape, imparting knowledge,
building friendships, increasing bonding between fellow soldiers
and many etc etc
And to top if off as of my current predicament
I realised my allowance last time was quite high
Compared to me going out to do a part-time job now

Ok actually
It was HIGHER
If you put into all the accounts of transport and meals
Yup, this sucks
Because I dont even have to worry about my meals last time in camp
I dont have to think about what to wear
I dont have to worry about overspending
I dont have to see what is nice to eat and if it is tasty or not
I dont even have to take time out to exercise
And feel like it is a chore to go back home and shower after that
Hell I even read books and magazines more when I'm in camp

Damn, sign on still got a lot of bonus
:(

Jolin Tsai's "Myself" Concert 2011

One day after my ORD
7th May
Best way to celebrate it?

Attend my virgin concert in Singapore
And whose concert was it?
Jolin 蔡依林 aka Agent J aka 舞娘 aka J奶's "Myself" concert
(Ok too many aka there)
















I'm surprised the Indoor Stadium is not full house
May be due to the lack of publicity though
The crowd was around 8000+ strong?

And now I know why Kobe say go local concert can take our time
Because its like attending a wedding dinner
"The wedding dinner never starts on time..."

So after dear concert goers take our own sweet time to settle down
The concert started at around 820
Not bad, 20 mins late for the 亚洲舞娘 is acceptable for a diva I guess?































I TELL you
When a digitally enhanced Jolin being projected on the globe screen
And a butterfly come flying in and landed on her mouth area
I'm like "ok whatup?"
Still debating with Kobe whether the 1st song opening is 《美人计》 or not




























It doesnt get any better than when Jolin walk out from the centre of the globe
And sashay down the stairs

I thought it was like cool to the max already!
And even though it started with 《花蝴蝶》 and not 《美人计》
It was an awesome beginning!
Highly-charged!















Taking around 20sec to change into a new outfit
Jolin began singing her new songs such as 《黑发尤物》




























Damn this was sexy!
Like freaking nose-bleed that type
I mean not from a pervertic point of view
Really nice!
$171 worth it after 2-3 songs only
LOL!
;)



































There is also the 冷门 《玩美》 in between
Ok its nice in its own way lah!

But seriously the costume changing speed is insane
20sec change to new outfit
Where the dance beats never stop
And up Jolin comes again from the rising platform
And boom, there she goes again with another fast hit
Applause for showmanship alone
And the costume are very eye-catching too!

After a certain break later
Jolin started singing a particular English song
Named 《Vogue》
And after seeing like a gazillion times on Taiwan Channel
I know whats next
*rubs hands gleefully*





















《美人计》 for the win!
Woohoo~!

Seriously I never get sick of watching the MV on youtube
And I also dont get sick of watching Jolin perform the dance move so many times
Especially the vogue-ing moves
The "hand-on-head plus hip-thrust" which 小猪 also talk about
And my favourite “云手”!
Sorry I'm a sucker for off-the-charts dance moves!
:)

Go see the last video below
Starting from 0.42 is sexciting stuff!





















If I got any friends who can stretch their hands like that
I will go and learn from you
Just you only
;)

There was a break in between
For fans interaction
I think also for her to catch a breath ba

Oh well
You don grumble when Jolin belt out 《天空》 after the break
Swee!

Plus it was nice to hear her speak
Especially with the famous Taiwan sainai / 撒娇 tone
The OMG feeling
You just dont get it in Singapore
Only did you travel to Taiwan then when you enter the shop
You will feel like spending money already
Yup thats the feeling!
;)

And yes, Jolin do speak with that kind of voice too
Especially when telling the crowd that if we dont get high soon
And stay so orderly
Then she will wave byebye and the concert will end before we know it































Lots of pyrotechnics
Especially for 《特务J》

SWAT team running out with guns and lasers
And of course Jolin coming out with huge-ass LED breast plates
LOL!
Bling bling max!































"Picture-Of-The-Day!"

The killer lipstick is OMFG bold
And not many people can pull it off
But Jolin did!

Plus if she wear the LED breast plates with the black Agent J leotard outfit
AND then sing 《倒带》
That is feelingsofly already!
Because 《倒带》 is like my kind of “指定疗伤歌曲”

If you dont know why 《倒带》 is such a great love song
Hearing Jolin sing it live is like extra oomph!
Still one of my favourite Chinese love songs

And there was 《小伤口》 too!






























Followed by 《我知道你很难过》 and 《降落伞》 while descending from a high staircase
Its like magical
To put it in simple form














































Throw in 《日不落》 , 《Mr Q》 , 《看我72变》 , 《睁 一只眼闭一只眼》 , 《无言以对》 ,
《招牌动作》 , 《玩爱之徒》 , 《大丈夫》 and plenty of those big hits
High 歌 all the very way!
















I thought 《舞娘》 was like the climax after 《美人计》
It drew the loudest cheers when Jolin performed the much talked about ribbon dance
The 彩带舞 is like what is being rumoured
Excellent!
But one reason why it is so mystifying is because
Get this
Jolin performed all the jumps, splits, spins, and whatever 180 or 360 turns

ON HER IVORY HIGH HEELS!

Now that is salute!

I always wonder how OL runs after buses in their business outfit and high heels
And secretly cheered for them when they catch the bus
Because I think running around in high heels is like crazy and insane
Almost against the laws of Physics

And yet Jolin can do all her dance moves on the 2-storey high heel
No joke
The heels are like damn daunting!































The final song
Yup she has a starfish on her head!

The finale as expected from her Taiwan performances
Is the all bombastic 《爱无涩》 aka 《Bravo Lover》
The people beside us took out the iPhone and started using their touchlights
Super enthu!
I like!

《爱无涩》 is like G6!
Engaging!
















And she ends off by running into a fountain
That is Bugis Junction with Jolin live!
Now I will look at the fountain at Bugis with a different view
=p
















Did I mention Jolin was wearing a white top?
;)































$171 is worth it
Glad I caught the concert commercial on TV
During........duty in camp somemore!

HAHAHAHAHAH!
I am winner seriously!
LOL!
WOOHOO!

Do go watch all the videos below
Awesome close-up!

See the first video for the spectacular entrance
And be aware of Jolin's arms
Notice that there isnt like any ounce of fat
Toned with the nice shape and cutting
女神!!!

I like the part 0.36-1.06
Especially when she reach the high key for the 2 words “可以” at 0.51
Electric!

And of course the last video for my favourite song of the night
《美人计》
Rocks!

Overall this concert
Being my virgin one
I would rate it as 5 stars!
Especially for Jolin
Could do more with some more emo songs though
But the part which Jolin incorporate English songs
Like Vogue
And Madonna's Music
Kylie Minogue's Cant Get You Out Of My Head
And Lady Gaga's Just Dance
Adds to the "HIGH" factor and dance routines
And yes, Jolin is really the 亚洲舞后
The killer dance moves awe everyone
And for someone standing at 158cm
DAMN!
She is literally transform how I view girls
J-奶 FTW!
*fist pump*

Steph Sun's big day





















Chinese newspaper 新明日报
Never fails to impress me
The pictures which Straits Times never publish
You can always trust the Chinese side to do it
;)

2 days in a row I couldnt get The New Paper
Had to read the Straits Time and 新明日报 instead

Yes 孙燕姿 is married to her triathlete boyfriend of 5 years!
One day after Jolin's concert that is

Well the whole point of this entry is to lead to Jolin's concert
which I attended the day before Steph Sun's wedding day
Haha!





















Seriously
新明日报 has like 4 or 5 photos while Straits Time only has.....one?





















8.5m limousine
License plate 1888
Now that is damn cool





















Thought the media was quite restricted?
How do they get the photos?
I mean really





















7万6000元台币 Hermes handbag
Aka SGD$3.5k like that?
Jolin's gift to good friend Steph
Nice~
















Imagine this
"She wore a V-neck dress with a plunging neckline"
Compare to “好友蔡依林穿低胸礼服秀乳沟观礼
The Chinese description just leaves more imagination to the mind
Hum sup siol!
LOL!
=p
















The Singapore boyfriend
Super HUGE chest width
Check it out!
Thought the magazines or papers was only exaggerating
But hey, this photo here shows that Jolin's bf 锦荣 is the real deal





















Pretty!
I thought the dress was really classy
And the hair was very nicely done too
The 事业线 is a hot topic too
















Pretty x2!
Simple and elegant

One of our most famous songbird finally got married
And one of my favourite singer with the most of unique voices around
Its a mystery why there isnt much coverage on her
As she is like one of the biggest asset of our local music industry
Oh well, hope she stays pretty and continue producing great songs
after this happy marriage!
:)

Of course collaboration with Jolin is great!
=p

黑白配 2011



十年的感情
他们终于结婚了。。。。

范范的这首 “最重要的決定”
特别有含意
每一句歌词都说明了一切
不只是他们而已
也是对每一对在恋爱的情侣

If you have seen the 2 consecutive episodes from 《康熙来了》
You would understand this video more
Touch-ed
=D

O to the R to the D

On this day
I commemorate the day of being Operational Ready
And I present
Something that is dear to me throughout my 1 year 10 months of service

This is THE song of my National Service



Seconds....
Hours.....
So many days.....

You know what you want but how long can you wait?
Every moment lasts forever when you feel you’ve lost your way

And what if my chances are already gone?
I started believing that I could be wrong
But you gave me one good reason to fight and never walk away
So here I am still holding on

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath is harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

I fought till the limit to stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets?

Don’t know where the future’s heading
But nothing’s gonna bring me down

I’ve jumped every bridge and I’ve run every line
I’ve risked being safe, I always knew why
I always knew why
So here I am still holding on

With very step you climb another mountain
Every breath is harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can

You CAN go higher
You CAN go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule coz there’s nothing between you and your dreams

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath is harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up everything
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries.....















The lyrics of Adam Lambert's "No Boundaries" says it all

Every time before any major exercise
Before we go chiong sua
Before SOC
Before field camps
Before tekans
Before any of the hardcore stuff that we went through
And most importantly
When I'm always feeling like I cant get out of this sinking black hole

I plug in my mp3
And always manually select this song and put it on repeat
Be it lying down on the bed
Or sitting down somewhere in camp during free time

With eyes closed but not asleep
Every single inspiration line of this song
Is being sucked into me
This song gives me energy
And seriously, it pushes me forward

This song to me
Is like a float
A shining beacon when the day was dark

And now, I finally gotten my hands on the pink IC
Oh darling, I'm home
I hate to say this
But every damn nvchaokeng Singaporean son has the right to say this

"ORD LOH!"

:)
