Hao-e's good deed and soccer match

This morning, as with all sunday mornings, we had our bacon and eggs and headed off to st theresa's for mass. hao-e was hand-picked by the old-black-lady-at-entrance a.k.a. "the warden" to collect $$ from the congregation. (ps: last week hao-e was also picked by said old black lady to send up the bread and wine to the altar, but he was passed over the last second cos said old black lady picked too many ppl to help. => ) he was so excited! kept asking me when he should leave the pew. (me thinks you should pay more attention to the mass proceedings, then you wouldn't need to ask me?!?! anyways, i have never done such "duty" before, so how should i know when?) anyway, so he bumbled along in his polo-berms-berkies combination and did his part for this week's mass quite nicely. Nothing broken and no one hurt. So proud of you! father yim and your godpa would have been proud!

Then we made our way to robin hood for lunch and was pleasantly surprised to see chelsea vs arsenal on the many many tv screens, (robin hood is a sports bar or what we would call a "pub" in UK). And the ppl there were loud. most were supporting arsenal though. it was an exciting game with an outcome we didn't really like but was half expecting given the sending off in the first half. chelsea drew 1-1 with arsenal and gave away the EPL title to man u as a result. bah of all teams! (i know, i know, a couple of my frens from IC who are fervent/crazed/out-of-their-minds man u fans would probably kill me/sever all ties after reading this, but i still have to make my allegiance clear. our family i.e. hao-e, chewy chelsea lim and i are chelsea fans, no matter how unpopular that would render us in the eyes of society and the poor ppl who keep supporting the teams that keep on losing to chelsea. HAR! TAKE THAT!)

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
