okay, i wasn't quite right in my last post. Heath Ledger died in his own apartment - not Mary-Kate's - and he was 28 years of age - not 26.

this week, i've discovered mould in our closet. as in, i found mould on some of our clothes and the luggage bags stored in the closet. eeks. did some auditing of our wares, pulled out clothes dotted with those wretched white spots to the wash, wiped the luggage bags we were going to use and threw away hao-e's mouldy shoes. Then, i scampered off to the hardware store to buy meself some Damp-Rid kits to hang in the closet. i sure hope those things work, cos they are such a cheapo alternative to the electrical dehumidifier which costs at least $200. i don't want no spots on my clothes ever again!

i've tried keeping to my tiring, back-breaking, ab-crunching, kick-boxing gym schedule. so far, i've been there sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday and yesterday. on wednesday at 4.30pm, i had a very strong inclination not to make that trek over to the gym, for the simple fact that i didn't want to endure the torture of another kick-boxing class. but i blocked out that thought (and all other thoughts in fact), willed my feet to walk and resisted the urge to drive back home. i didn't regret it, cos though it is the most treacherous class of the week, (i always end up with me back, arms, legs everywhere hurting), i enjoyed it best. me am masochistic.

there ain't gonna be any aerobics lesson later this afternoon, but i'll still go try my hand...erm i mean legs at jogging a bit. me am NOT a jogger. i can only do intervals of 2 mins of 5km/hr before i slow the treadmill down to a leisurely 4km/hr walk in between. WEAK! i know i know. as the instructor says "This is not a break! No comfort zone!" i must try to bring it up to 3mins spurts today.

yesterday, i had a mini exchange of views with a man who claims that he knows the chinese calendar better than i do. he says on 7th feb, we'll be in the 4**** year of the lunar calendar. i replied, it depends on the reference point. there's no acknowledged known year where the chinese adopted the calendar, and each emperor tends to name the years of their reign. Even ROC i.e. Taiwan adopts the "min guo" year, when they "separated" from the mainland. so hey, don't blame me - especially since i'm from singapore where no one really bothers to find out why this year is the golden pig read: good, and next year is the i-can't-remember-what-metal rat i.e. bad. i only know this lunar new year, i'll be back with family and friends, eating kueh bangkits and pineapple tarts. ooh... can't wait.

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, ...

Some news...

I just learnt over the weekend that the last grand-uncle on my father's side had passed on. We weren't that close when he was alive, but i do recall him being a jolly old chap who was always ready with a smile... as far as grand-uncles go, he's the closest one we had. And of course he lived in malaysia which gave us a perfect excuse for a weekend trip up the causeway, far from the hustle and bustle of maniacal singapore. Another shocking piece of news i heard last week in fact was, me best pal's dad seems to be suffering from dementia. i hope he gets better soon cos i know everyone's worried and imagine the pressure on the family! after hearing that, i've been praying every night that my parents remain healthy and happy, especially during this period when i'm away from home. The 3rd piece of shock i had was that friend X and friend Y have gotten together. both of them are my college mates. BUT friend X was with friend A at that time, and friend Y was w...
