Ok..let's start with last thurs..

Thurs, 20th July 2006

It's 0.5's bd..gathered some ssc folks for steamboat-cum-bbq dinner @ Marina South. What could have been a normal dinner turned out to be quite an adventure..with 3 of them, including the bd herself, battling with live crabs and all..but bravo to them, they managed to slaughter the crabs rather professionally..

With the crabs settled..the next challenge was to avoid getting attacked by the hot oil..so we did what everyone else at the restaurant was doing..ie. stand and eat..(at first i thought it was some kind of ploy to burn more calories so they can eat more..given it's an all-u-can-eat buffet)

At the end of the 2 hrs or so, everyone was stuffed silly with food..but there was still the bd cake to go..luckily for us(?!), the cake had shrunk to half its original size..and once again, we proved the theory of 'cake tastes better when eaten with chopsticks' :Þ

Happy cos it's concert day today..even happier cos i din have to pay for the concert :D Tried jioing pple for the Z Pop concert sometime ago but nobody was keen(to spend the money) in attending..only my dear 0.5 offered to accompany me..well, good for her..since she managed to free-ride on my free tics, $128 one ok..hmm..maybe can take it tat it's my bd pressie to her?! idea leh..heh..

First up was Fish..Fish Leong lah..not tat fish..not too bad lah..always quite neutral towards her..next was Jeff Chang..*screams*(courtesy of 0.5, who seemed more excited about him than i was..& even singing along to his songs..while urs truly was sitting quietly thruout the concert) Pitch -perfect singing, as usual..his live singing never disappoints me..the only gripe i have? the mr soon-perm on him..tsk³

It was Harlem Yu's turn to entertain the crowd next..with his ktv-friendly 'qing fei de yi'(or 'qing bu zi jing' to 0.5) Again, 0.5 was happily singing and waving her lightstick madly everytime he turned towards our direction..while i was trying so hard to merge into the chair..

Last but not least, it's Jolin's turn on the stage..hers was a case of visual entertainment more than audio pleasure..just amazed how she can pranced about the stage with her 3 inches heels..

And then, there was the 'HIGHLIGHT' of the night..President Nathan came on stage to give away plaques to the sponsors..aiya, it's a charity concert afterall mah..& throughout the entire presentation..we were commenting how our ssc folks can easily do a better job at ushering, blah³..

难以忘记初次见你 一双迷人的眼睛
在我脑海里 你的身影挥散不去
握你的双手感觉你的温柔 真的有点透不过气
你的天真我想珍惜 看到你受委屈我会伤心

只怕我自己会爱上你 不敢让自己靠得太近
怕我没什么能够给你 爱你也许要很大的勇气
只怕我自己会爱上你 也许有天会情不自尽
想念只让自己苦了自己 爱上你是我情非得已

Strange..

It seems like i'd laid off blogging for quite a while..it's not tat i'm lazy(ok lah, i am.. but.. i do try to make some efforts to blog..sometimes) or i've got nothing to blog(in fact, i do..from live crabs to live concerts) But for some reason, i couldn't log in to blog-city for the past few days from home..

Hmm..now let me see if i can still remember wat was it tat i wanted to blog about..gimme some time..

I'll be back..

A shapely run..

Sacrificed my sunday morning to watch some women run..

Captured some of the more chio women on film :) *Refer to http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=tthjh81.3tpz789t&x=0&y=-uw39og

one hand or two hands?

Is it me or did Superman used to fly with one arm extended straight & the other bent at the elbow? You know, the action we always make when we say Superman! when we were younger?

But when i caught the movie the other day, it seems like Superman has taken on a new flying position..ie, both arms extended straight? Instead he bent his legs..if u had noticed, he always land with one of his legs bent..

Hmm..never a serious Superman fan..not sure if it's evolution or aerodynamics or watever..but one thing i'm quite sure is i prefer the old flying style..

why??!!?!!?!

Why did Zidane..a respectable player..with more than 100 caps on his sleeve..playing in his last WC Finals..have to go headbutt a player..for seemingly nothing??!!

Sad..very sad..

Italy or France?

Tonight is THE night..

Unless you've just returned from Pluto, you should know that tonight(or tecnically speaking, tomorrow early early morning in Sg time) is the World Cup Finals..between European neighbours France & Italy..

All the late nights over the past 1 month(though i must admit not all are cos of WC) will be coming to an end..& as promised by zxl to zxl..i've maintained a fairly healthy lifestyle this week..give & take 1 movie marathon session at my place last nite..from 'ziyi zhang' to earl to johnny depp..

Life should revert to a norm slowly after tomorrow..maybe i'll see more of my football-crazy pal, Wei online..haha..let's come out for dinner after WC yea?
A
nd in case u're interested, i'm placing my bet on France..2-1..

busy?

Ohh..it's been a week since i last blogged..

Hmm..was quite busy lah..world cup lah..triathlon lah(nono, i din participate..but well done to everyone who completed it!)..instructor flying back to UK lah(she mistakenly thot her flight was on sun when it was on sat..resulting in a bit of gan cheong-ness)..

Actually it was ok-busy lah..not exactly busy-till-no-time-to-eat kind..in fact, i think i was rather busy eating too..haha..In a matter of less than a week, we managed to strike off 3 items on Team SA's homecoming food list..& in the process, added a few more :Þ In particular, the dinner at the crab bee hoon place was quite successful(despite its ulu location) and between the 13 of us, we had a good mix of alumnis vs patrons, we managed to put away 4 or was it 5? crabs and 2 servings of xiao man tou..

Then there was the big match on friday nite..a lack of kiasu-ness saw us wandering for 45 mins..from chijmes to carlton to funan in search of a place to watch argentina lose to germany(sorry folks, they were playing on german soil afterall)..In the end, we just stood outside a small pub outside excelsior..not cos it was the best, but simply cos it was already 11pm and the game had started..

Seems like we need better strategy if we wanna catch the finals in comfort..do i hear anyone offering their house?? :Þ
