My bro...The Lion with Big Heart

Following me, my brother has started blogging too.

Out of curiosity, i went to check it out.

Reading his blog makes me wanna whip out a red pen and start correcting his English immediately!

I know i should be helping him instead of musing about it but then again if i were to make him correct his English for every post, he would probably stop doing it totally. Which would then puts him away from practicing his English, which i'm still wondering if thats a bad thing or not.
Ever since god-know-when, they always say "practice makes perfect". I believe in this statement too but then again i wonder how true can it be in this case. Lionel might perhaps be able to create the scenerio in which that rule-of-life does not apply to. :p

Anyhow, despite his atrocious English, he's still my lil brother who has grown to become a fine young boy/man.
To me i couldn't see the progression, its like he was always being screamed and yelled at to stop playing computers and stop watching so much tv and stuff and suddenly, one day he was there being the family Mr Handyman, changing light bulbs, fixing computers, packing the room, cooking lunch/supper. :)

I remember some time ago, after a quarrel with the irksome M that left me sobbing on my bed. In the darkness, my bro went "Jie, No matter what happens, i will alway support you". :) *beams*
My family isn't the sort that displays affections or exchanges words of such publicly but that night, there and then, my dear lil brother did just that. I felt extremely touched.

He had showed me, he is no longer that lil boy that we need to screamed at to make him learn.
He has become a young man that can decide for himself the rights and wrongs of the world, a young man that can read the feelings of others and act appropriately and most importantly a young man that knows how to care. :)

I can't wait to see all of us growing up and having our own homes and own kids. I'm happy at how things have turned out so far and i look forward to the future. All things can change but i hope our bond will remain.

I'm so blessed (but I'm not Christian).

Over again.

Erm.. This weekend felt really short thus my title for this blog.

Went where-else-but-Velvet again on Friday with Renes and her sec school girl friends and yisheng. It was good to see them all. I haven't met them for 3 years ! Figures are scary, 3 good years went by without me really noticing, everything we did when i first got to know them is still so fresh in my head. Like Yisheng especially, i met him 3 years ago, once and we played mahjong together and just like a box of chocolates, none of us expected that we will meet only 3 years later.

After Friday comes Saturday and Sunday.

On Sat, i lazed the entire day with Uncle Tan, upliving my geeky image by playing DS the entire day while Uncle went about town trying to exercise his fat off. =p Evening was somewhat more happening, we went to this really yummy Japanese restuarant at Takashimaya called Choiyo-bla-bla (i am just really bad with names, i can tell you how to get there though) and had this really yummy Unagi bento set. Price is quite steep, we paid $40 for the set but trust me, its worth every every and let me emphasize again EVERY single cent.
They had really fresh, juicy and sweet sashimi and very very VERY soft Unagi very different from those you get at Sakae or any other mass chain outlets. The fish melts in your mouth!
Hehe. Yeah i exaggerated a little but well drop me a msg, email or msn if you want to know where it is. I didnt take any picture, seldom do so, ever since my N70 started lagging real bad. I want new phone! *hint Uncle Tan =p*

After dinner was MOVIE TIME! We watched a French movie titled "The Beat that my Heart Skipped", it so dump that all i will say is. Watch it if you feel rich.

On second thoughts maybe watch it only if you are rich enough to use $10 to wipe your ass.

Sunday was relaxing. Slept till noon, went for late lunch at 2 plus and caught Singapore idol finals. Though many proclaimed that its a joke, surprisingly they still had a really packed stadium. Mayb only half the stadium was being utilized?

I think Jon will win. He less embarassing compared to Sly and i know for one, all my female friends adores him. So~~ go Jon go~

My Family

All my dearest..

Dream

I woke up in de middle of my sleep crying. I dreamt that mummy dearest was being forgotten and unappreciated by friends and family and i couldn't stop crying after that. Think i wept for a good 10 mins before falling asleep again.

In my dream, Mummy was her usual self, being nice and doing her best for everyone and everything but yet no one seems to appreciate her efforts, leaving her out of their gathering and little group chats while she was busy, preparing and cooking food for everyone else so that they can fill their stomachs.
The scene then later changed to the poolside, where mum sat in the jacuzzi alone with me looking from a distance, i turned my head away for a moment and when i looked back, instead of mum sitting there, it was replaced by all the other unappreciative aunties.
I got anxious and looked around frantically for mum and finally saw her sitting alone, again, on a chair by the jacuzzi with her face in black botches like she got infected with some real mean disease.
I was damn worried and immediately ran to her and when i got to her looking like i'm about to breakdown, mum in a tired-but-tried-to-sound-chirpy-soothing tone told me not to worry about her and those weird botches was actually her facial mask.
I was relieved and yet really upset at those arseties for treating my mum this way... and my dream ended here because of the warm tears that was running down my cheeks.

My tears continued on after i woke up because of the many many thoughts that ran thru my head post-dream. I dread to imagine how i will cope the day my parents will be called to the other realm. Or any of my siblings for that matter. :(

How much is it worth?

My blog is worth $1,693.62.
How much is your blog worth?

Got this from link from dear Jason. Who still living his life surrounded by education. Funny guy, alwiz like to say he's tired, not enough sleep sleep, even though, ever since i know him, he's the can stay up 24 hours without sleep to rush out projects, sleep for 1-2 hrs then go cheong his sports training sort. Though i do believe he's really tired from all the work from school, i wonder what is sleep to him =P.

Back to this link, I wonder how does this person base his calculations on. Quite interesting, imagine i can bag this amount of money monthly. Sounds real yummy dun you think.

Anyway after i checked mine using this engine thingy, i went to type the owner's blog address and WOAH! His site can generate up to $4 million +++ lei.
My guess is, we are probably the suckers who's contributing to that amount, by going in to check how much our personal blog is worth.

After i checked his, i went to type in 2 of singapores' most popular blogger, Ms Snow(dun wanna help her advertise =p) and Mr Brown. Their site also can rake in amounts of 7 figures too!

I also want~~

Song of the day

During a conversation earlier we started talking about lame, it then became lame chop and continued to "lame chop's Play-Along" and then this song got stuck in my head.

"This is the song that never ends
Yes, it goes on and on, my friends
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue singing it forever just because— "

Sing-a-long if you know!

Cheers.

Midweek again

Time files at supersonic speed. Its Wednesday again. Midweek .
Time moves so quickly that i find it hard to breathe.
I'm aging just as quickly too.
To prove my point, weekend was just 3 days ago and two more days from now. ITS WEEKEND AGAIN.

Anyway this post shall be as short as possible. I realise most of my posts are seriously very wordy and some people might have the wrong impression like i have no one to talk to, so i have to talk alot on my blog to compensate. =p

Last week was really fruitful, we had a class gathering of sort, met up with classmates from sec school, had fun, nice to see everyone and gossip about old times. We revisited old childhood crushes, events and stuff. Definitely looking forward to the next one, with more people hopefully.

Last thing. If you ever need translation, besides using babelfish, i have this amazin friend, AMBER that is as power as that site man.
PJ came to me one day asking for translation suggestions. She tried a few times with not so suitable term and finally one of us suggested we get AMBER in to help and within SECONDS we got the term we were looking for. Power eh..
I'm so lucky to have a walking bilingual dictionary within our midst. Kekeke.. Too bad guys, you only have the AI babelfish to depend on.. *Muahaha*

A**e, its another long post. Damn. =p

Oooo~

Yay! Its finally in my hands! My new toy!
Pure, white and pretty!

I'm off to game! Muahahah...

Blogging and durians have tbe same similarity - they are both seasonal, at least for me.

Been updating my blog almost everyday consistently, though the updates are slightly backdated, then again, who cares! Haha.
Anyway besides updating my blog to keep frens in the loop of my daily live, its also a chronicle of Prissy too, place i can refer back to check what was i doing at that time sort of thing.

And so last Friday, i went for this party organized by a group called Youth Empire. As the name suggest, it is party seriously just for the youth only.
I was there with Renes, Jin, Zip, Rene's bro, her tuition kid and my bro, Lionel. So there we were there feeling really enthu about the whole thing as there were food stalls and stalls selling many stuff with great R&B music playing in the background. We tried hardest to keep ourselves entertained for de first 2 hours, dancing amidst the crowd of super young kiddos. Till we eventually gave up and told the youngsters of our grp to go have their own fun.
And so they DID! they didnt wanna leave! My bro especially, there i was sitting at one corner perpetually bored to tears and he was having so much fun and didnt wanna leave yet. Man!! I tink i old liao~

Anyway it was during this event that i have my first ever palm reading. The 'shifu' was nice and generally what he said sounds too good to be true, but since its pleasing to my ear, i'll gladly believe.

Some of the things he said which i can still remember:
1. I will not have problem financial and career wise
2. If he is blessed, then i'm V.blessed (muahaha, bless as in losing the most at every mahjong session?)
3. I am v. intelligent (realise how he likes to emphasize his point by adding a Very in front, somehow i wished this was true ;S)
4. I will not have children or will have difficult labour (i think quite true, i prefer a husky)
5. I am meant to be a leader! (yes! do vote for me next time!)
6. I will marry at age 27 (but i dun even wanna get marry, mayb juz cohibit)
7. I should persue careers related to arts, fashion, music and media (superstar pris?)

Interesting eh. Very pleasing to my ear. I like. I conveniently forgot all the bad things he said though. Cherry picking. hahaha

No DS for me today

I didn't get my DS today. :(

Was so looking forward to getting it, the excitement was just circling through my head over and over and over.

Remember how when we were young, getting the toy you wanted was always like the main highlight of every shopping trip or birthday gift. And that anticipation of unwrapping the present you know would contain the toy you have been eyeing ever since you first set eyes on it.

That was how excited i was. But sadly no DS for me yet. Boo~

But but but~ I'm still not exactly VERY disappointed, cos i get to rollover that excited, anticipation for tomorrow! But of coz, nothing beats having it today... :

My attempt at 'zi pai zhao' after long break. So nacarcisstic. But still fun as usual.

Realise i dun take such pictures anymore ever since i started my job proper.. Glad to know i still have the skill to undertake such a tough task. ;)

Wake me up. Coz it Sept

Its's September.. So soon.. Another 4 months and we will be welcoming 2007.
Time flies at supersonic speed when you work.

I read a friends blog recently. She's doin freelance now. How lucky, if only i had talents that would allow me to freelance something and report to no one. Meaning be my own boss. But with no talent and no business idea i guess i better be good on my job, for now.

A good friend of mine, Ian, came back from Japan for a short holiday. Due to all our busy schedule, we only met once. Well, at least there is one. :)
Though short, it is always nice to meet them and laugh myself silly.
Knowing them would definitely be listed as one of the best thing that happened to me. It is them that makes working for Nokia so much fun and Nokia training much looked forward to.

Moments of that night..
