There are two things I am really excited about!

1) My new handphone

The previous 02 is so cui already. Really is cui until cannot cui, that is why I decided to change. Anyway, this new phone is arriving this coming monday. I'm so excited!!!

2) My new domain

I bought honeyflash.sg!! Finally not with an extra 'h'. Some days ago I'm still deciding to get honeyflash.sg or honeyflash.com.sg. People commented that .com.sg is like some government site and I personally prefer .sg better too. Someone else bought .com already. Sad.

I've configure all the settings already, right now I just need to wait for the DNS to propragate. That would take from 36hrs to 72 hrs! Ugh! Oh yah, I will be using wordpress. So there is a lot of things that I needa learn. Once I've gotten that, I'm getting twitter! And uh, I need a data plan too!

Some random images I took recently!

My life is like a stroll on the beach...
as near to the edge as I can go.

Yesterday our colleague, David, visited us from 'Aussie land'. The Nuffies brought him for lunch at Boon Tong Kee - Balestier, which is very near our workplace. Later in the evening, we brought him to East Coast Park to enjoy some local food. He seems to love Satay a lot and that is also the first time he has actually eaten a Stingray!

After this, we headed a few blocks away to Quality Hotel's lounge for some beer! You wouldn't wanna know the kind of stuff we were talking about after the liquor took control of our brains!

10pm - I was tired, I wanna sleeeeeeeeep!

11pm - I knew I just had to finish what I'm doing. Alright doing fine!

1am - Okay, I'm not tired anymore! Engine starts pumping!

HW was telling me yesterday (recently don't know why all my blog post is HW was telling me this that this that -.-, don't keep telling me things can anot? Whatever HAHA!) that she likes going to work. Imagine something like, "I'm going to work now! WOOPIE!" Hmm.. Yeap, that kinda feeling.

Alright! This is the first time I'm doing an entry for contest. This got me really stuck cuz' the topic is - "Family".

If you realised, I've never spoken about my family in my past archives. Not because I've none, but just nothing interested to talk about. That's pretty sad. And so that is why organisations like Family Day Celebrations are for. To 'help' family like mine to BOND.

When I was a toddler, my dad was quite well-to-do. I guess after we had migrated from Malaysia, my dad struggled for a while and finally his career took off well towards the construction industry. I'd remembered at a point of time, he had even started out his own company called Rover Builders. I would often help out with his workers' salaries, sealed the envelopes or insert cash into them. Got scolded when I made wrong calculations!

I was more attached to my father when I was a kid. He would carry me on his shoulder and called me by my pet name - Xiao Gek kok. Haha this may sound awful, and till now I still don't know what it means. I suppose it is some Hakka pronounciation. Now to think back, we were really very close... What's stuck in my mind was that there were times I will massage him till he snoozed into lala land. He will do the same too, until both of us were asleep. If my close friends were reading this section, they must have thought... Are you serious? Cos' they knew how bad my relationship with my father was now. We rarely communicate and would often quarrel when we speak to each other. I don't know how to describe, but it is tremendously bad. I would rather not speak to him so that we could quarrel lesser.

When I just got together with Kenny and his family, it made me wonder several times why my family wasn't like his? He told me his situation was worse last time, and that God changed their lives totally.

It was until the economic down turn during 1997 when everything went berserk. My dad lost his company, addicted to a habit which I hated - Gambling, lost his job etc. My mum who used to be a housewife, had to step in the working society which she lost touch with to help support the family. I believe that is when my family situation changed drastically. Everyone had no time for each other and when I was at my growing stage, the surroundings affected me. This had partly contributed to my disconnection towards my family.

My mum had been through the worse and tho I love her, I don't show it the way other daughters did. I wouldn't hug or kiss her. We never had these "actions" and the fact is, I would feel awkward doing so. We never have done, and if I were to do one day, it's just weird.

Anyway, since my mum has quited her job recently, I intend to bring her out this 30th May - Family Day Out to Singapore Flyer. The entry passes will go to my mum, brother, Kenny, his mum, sis & dad and lastly myself. Looks like I've excluded my dad, needless to ask cos' he wouldn't go. He would love to witness how fast the horses dash across the field (if you get what I mean).

Sorry for the wordy post, I'm lazy to scan those old family photos! But just let me post up the most recent photo we took during my cousin's wedding (Jan).

Below are the times when we are so free that we began to do random stuff.

However at times like today, I was so freaking busy with a sudden surge of workloads piling up on me!


But what's good today is that I managed to cheat clinch the best deal for lunch *giggles*

You can leave behind everything after you graduate from your Alma Mater but there is one very important and "valuable" orange item you must bring together with you wherever you go! - That's your student card!! Am glad that I didn't surrender my card in exchange for the adult Ezlink. Not only does it serves its purpose for your transportation, it is your best friend during promotional season!

Just like today, I managed to feed myself a set lunch less than 10 dollars (after svc charge) at Jack's Place!!! They are having this promotion for students right now. I think my card will be still valid for use for the next 5 years? I think others will still have the perception that I'm a student. Once I visited the theatre to catch a NC-16 movie and I was asked for my age. I'm over my teens and a lil over the big fat 2! Total shockness. But to think in a long run, I might not look as old when I reached 30s! *shy*


Speaking of western food, I had a fabulouuuuuuuuus meal over at Kenny's last week!

Nice of him to prepare yummy steak for me! The previous time I made steak for him, it was a half success thing :( So now he is showing me how good his steak tastes like!


Did some grocery shopping at Sheng Siong


And down to the pan! Sizzle sizzle..




Everything single-handedly done by him! Can 'medium rare' somemore, he too was shocked that he can do it! Hahaha! Alongside with cheessssssy hotdog, black pepper mushroom sauce and superbly mashed potato.



Gotta finish up some work now! Just one last image!


Cherie's neh neh is overflowing! Keke. BYE!

I've decided I can't live off my life like this! That daily routine has bored the hell outta me - and all these due to my laziness. ugh! Months ago, Wennie said we should go do gymnastics. It stayed at the back of my head for a while and disappeared. Until recently Kenny said we should go pick up some hobbies, and I though I don't wanna spend money to skill myself up at the moment. We are having self financial control right now. Pfft. Meanwhile besides slacking off like this, I shall start off with waking early every morning like 7 or 8. Check my emails, have my breakfast and off to Kinta I go!

After adding Nuffnang Xchange and publishing the previous post, I felt like blogging again. At least this is positive. Nuffnang Xchange fits my blog so well, due to the white space available. So pretty! 花花！


What's negative is that I had a terrible nightmare last night. It felt as if I was sucked in to it the moment I closed my eyes. And every min I tried opening my eyes, the pressure is present. Not sure of what I'm escaping from. Sorry people, I had monday blues today and the feeling sucks. Sucks to be in denial mode, that is a pretty terrible locked down feeling. I'm so lazyyy doh. Clearing my leave abit too soon. Haha.. Should have saved it for next month! Wee, I'm planning a holiday, not a big one tho but I'm actually looking forward to it! We are still thinking of where to go. But I'm thinking of somewhere cheap and relaxing. After having some recommendations from friends, I wouldn't mind Batam..


I know this is not that awesome but sure is good enough at the moment.

P/S: Can't believe I couldn't find The Biggest Loser Season 5 in rapidshare. Am tryin my luck to torrent (hate it!) again. Will spend the rest of my day working and drama-ing.

P/P/S: I'm changing my blogskin again!! Some time.. soon...
