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~~
