When you're in Miami, it's utter bliss

Fresh seafood in a tomato-based soup! I would go to the ends of the earth just to taste this again. Seafood lovers would understand my obsession with the succulent meat cocooned in that cold hard shell.... You'll find this in sunny Miami, Florida, which is "more or less" like a hop and skip away from Bermuda... (the power of positive thinking, really...) i'm dreaming again, aren't i??

Anyway, let the countdowns begin! (yes, plural!)

Christmas in 54 days!
we just turned back the clocks last night for daylight saving. officially 12 hours behind singapore and hong kong now. halloween has just past (we gave out pringles to the kids) and christmas is almost here! must start to plan the parties pretty soon!

New Year is in 60 days!
omg, where has this year gone?? i should probably look through my resolutions for 2009, but i have a huge hunch i could probably use the same list for 2010! nothing done so far...

Heading home in 75 days
(30 days in November, 31 days in December, and 14 days in January).
This time, instead of stopping over in FRA (which can only be described at best as utilitarian and functional, we will be taking Cathay Pacific and stopping over in HKG (yeehar!). Would have taken SQ and invested in patriotism had they not raised the price (the nerve they have given the current climate, those silly fools!). CX was just over a $1000 return from JFK while SQ was charging a whopping $1600. i think i'd rather spend the $600 on a short stay in Hong Kong eating at Maxim's. sounds way better than spending it on airline food, and i seriously doubt that SQ's food is better than CX's. not to mention, we get the worst treatment as singaporeans on SQ flights from the stewardesses... yikes.

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...
