Happy 2013!

Didn't do much over Christmas or New Year's as I was down with a cold and cough.  It was so bad, I saw 2 different western physicians, the first gave me medicine that didn't work, the second prescribed antibiotics and cough syrups (2! the phlegm was so scary I needed two different cough mixtures) that sort of eased the night coughing bouts but didn't quite stop me from coughing out my lungs in the day.  Desperate times call for desperate measures so I finally bit the bullet and bought some super expensive Chinese medicine that is "chopped, stamped, guaranteed" to cure me in 3 days.  It's been 3 days.  The medicine has really cured most of my extremely phlegmy cough, although not entirely.  I would say I'm almost 80% well after a 3-day course.  I should walk back to Eu Yan Sang and tell the lady she needs to stop peddling this medicine like some magic cure.  Admittedly, they are very effective, I felt better the next morning after taking the first dose the night before.  But be warned, they come in these small bottles of mustard green powder, almost like macha/green tea powder, but it tasted so bitter I had to always psycho myself before I gulped it down. Oh, and according to the ladies that sold me this medicine, I was not allowed any consumption of chicken meat or eggs.  

So as I was saying, 2013 didn't start off too well for me because of health reasons.  BUT, I'm now 80% well, so that's good news.  I have 3 days left to my first KTV session with the gals at Kbox Marina Square on Friday night before flying off to Okinawa early Saturday morning.  I need to get well in 3 days.  I must.  I will.  Please please please let me get well by Friday.

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.
