The many sometimes...

Sometimes we switched role, the gal is bf and the guy is gf.
Sometimes communication breaks down.
Sometimes hurtful words were exchanged & never be mend back.
Sometimes so angry & upset with each other.
Sometimes saying anything & not saying anything also wrong.
Sometimes not knowing what is on each other's mind.
Sometimes a minor wrong can be a huge wrong.
Sometimes expectations not met.
Sometimes the so many sometimes can ruin it all...

There are so many sometimes & it all adds up to a lot. But sometimes just a simple I love you still melts my heart away and despites of so many sometimes, i still love you...

the great singapore sale

I had sales training for 3 days at Copthrone King, and Princess started work at her new place. Everyday got training good liao than can send her to work everydae also....but the damm ERP very ex sia.... good thing i don't have to pay that when i go work everydae.

Well well before we went to this sale, i though like nothing much to buy and stuff, but hey i was suprised got a few good buys. Prior to that Princess forgot her slippers one fine day and hence, had to shop around in my slippers. Don't you think she looks great in it? *LoLxXXxxx


Nice Comfy Slippy



We had dinner at BrewerkZ, Riverside Point. Famous for beer but did'nt try, overall good food with generous servings. First time meeting Mel as well. Wish you all the best in your "hunt".

1/2 Rack of Pork Ribs w Ceasar Salad

Fish & Chips


Ok now for the sale. Bought this pair of shoes for only $29. Think it's a china brand but it's comfy and looks "powerful". Nice eh? Princess also bought a pair of Charles & Keith shoes that shes beening eyeing for the loooooooooooongest time.


Long time never carry a proper wallet. Samsonite - Original $90, now $30

Simplicity.....my fav. Tks for the gift dear.

Ok this bag is the highlight. Kids range for Timberland. Princess's fav colour of green and it's really nice with daps of blue and kaki colour. Spacious too i must say. Original price - $109, now $39. The best part is.................it comes with a ...................

........free little sling pouch!!! Wat a steal!!! The bag came with other colours, shld haf put the other mini pouches into ours when we paid than got more colourful pouches *GrinZ
Back to work on monday again...*sigh

jux a quick post at 1am

Jux got home not too long back. Showered and decided to blog but first, sorry dear that i have not been having dinner with you for the past 2 nights. Been having sales training from monday till wednesday. It was tiring and stimulating mentality with all the higher management debate and discussions. My President Ken Loh has reach a stage where no longer they sell on product features, but on the software of the machine, being management culture, wuality, realibility, etc. The best thing is if you think his customers are CEOS of other large organizations, you're wrong. He does presentations and sales talks to Mayors of states now!!! Perhaps this meeting is like high level meeting that's why now when they sell, they focus on software, but ppl on the ground would still sell based on technical specifications.

These 2 nights has basically been dinenr and entertaiment for the bosses. Good dinners and lots of alcohol which i don't like and also cause i can't really drink. First night at hotel lounge where Ken wanted to address the SG team and of course he said as marketing ppl, we should be able to hold our liquor well and hence, we drank soooooooo much but somehow, luckily, i sorta escaped and did'nt get myself drunk. Tt's a skill also eh. How to do it? Simple....jux keep helping the bosses refill their drinks, instigate them to drink with others and basically make everyone drink while i onli take sips when we "cheers" hahahaha..... Tonite went ot LA Casa cigar bar, at Regent hotel. First itme see my management smoke also. I think it's more like a social thing cause back in normal working days, they never do. Anyway i tried some top grade cuban cigar and frankly it suxs.........did'tn like it. Kept drinking grape juice thou. Unique huh.......it's really nice and expensive but.....................company account *grinZ

Tmr's meeting would end after lunch or so, followed by a trip to our office ot show our warehouse and basically our office. Hope tmr would nt have any entertaiment as promised by Ed for tonite to be the last, unless things changes again..........*sigh

Dear, i love you. Hope you understand i had to go not by choice. =(

traffic summon

Kena a summon for parking on yellow line. Did not even receive a notice on my car windscreen so all of you out there be careful. This happened when I was waiting for Princess after work on a Friday. Best part is usually I either wait around novena square area or at the hospital, but the summon stated the offence took place on the main road. *sigh

Anyway called the hotline 4 times, each time leaving my i/c no and birth date (cause it’s phone voice system, how unpersonalised!) but the line gets cut off. How pissed can that get? Look at traffic police website for hotline no, called and also bad service and in the end also referred to the initial number I tried calling. That’s government sector for you. Good in collecting money but not enquiry/feedback.

Everything also through email, letter, writing…..hence for those who watched “Just follow law”…….it’s soooooooooo true.
There goes my $$$ for re-string.

badminton craze

Well I’m an avid user of forums. It’s a great tool to get answers from communities be it cars, brides, weddings, pets, kids and now look what I found….. estate forums that has an active community to discuss issues like property prices in the locality, flea sale, town council and even meetups at people’s house to get inspiration for new home owners who are embarking on renovation or kids getting together to play or meeting up for sports etc. Cool huh.


Sometimes there are moments where pictures can’t really capture because it’s so impromptu. The little funny moments and irritating situations that we try to outdo each other. Lately we’ve embarked on sports to nurture a common interest between us which I think it’s very important between a couple cause after watching “Mars vs Venus” last night with Princess, she said to me:

Princess: the drama said that married couples after 2yrs, usually will have problems and no more common things to be shared and love sort of diminishes

Me: Oh really, I think it’s not a time factor but rather, the continuous effort to keep the flame alive, not easy, but I believe it can be done

Hence in conclusion, constant communication, I strongly believe is required to maintain a r/s, least to say a married couple. Faith and strong will must be present to keep it alive. Thou tiring at times, if one gives up making that effort, one would fall into a situation of being taken granted for. Dear, let’s not worry too much for I believe I will prove you wrong, simply cause you said our honeymoon period won’t last more than 3months but 9months going and ask yourself if that’s true? =)

Okay enuf of such ‘cheam’ topic in the morning le. The sports I was mentioning above was BADMINTON!!!! Yes…..not xiong one would say but last night, Princess finally felt the “xiongness” when we decided to have a 1hr intense game so we could rush back to watch tele.

Badminton is a game that requires a lot of skill and stamina. One more factor not to forget would be strategy. Normal people when playing won’t really chase the shuttlecock wherever it drops to strike it back. Try doing it all the way and you’ll find out just how tiring it can get. All the side step and sprinting around the mini court is enuf to kill one!

Skill – Back hand, lobbing, snapping, dropping at corners, faking, strength control, smashing, etc….. really need to improve on it.

Stamina – Try playing with a opponent who drops it all over the court and u’ll know hwo tiring it can get.

Strategy – At times to break the momentum of normal serves, one needs to drop or smash it tactically and play abit of aggression. Also reading the person’s style, noticing their weakness (some people fail on backstroke when served towards them), making them tired by running around is methods to outplay opponents who are stronger in techniques, hence having to make them tired.

I’m gonna re-string my racket soon. Hopefully the frame can take it if not buy a new one? *broke

8hrs MJ + company of good friends + "hammy"

The 20th storey view from Aree's place. The benefit of staying so high, shiok hor unblocked. My dear babe has been a great host, we went to her place to play MJ. So desperate no where else can play, no proper MJ table so in the end we played on a coffee table. Just like the good old days in Aussie, heehee.... aiyah, i should have taken a photo of the "MJ coffee table". Serene says Bebe's eyes like kena boxed! His panda eyes are getting darker, anyone has any solution??? These days i'm having eye bags too, last time don't have one leh. Ever since I started working + all the funny dreams every nite, these eye bags starts appearing.... sobz sobz!
Let me introduce you "Hammy" the hamster!!! Aree's Fortune mice! This Hamster really brings luck. MJ has the 4 animals: chicken, worm, cat, mice. If anyone of us draws the mice tile, the person actually wins the game. Aree brought the hamster closer to her & she keeps winning too. hahaha.... So Hammy gets a big dinner treat from Aree! So Tiny!!!! Don't move.... so CHEESE!!!
We didn't know that there is this thing called a hamster ball. Just put the hamster in the ball & let it roll around anywhere in the house. Don't see hamster small small, but they can really run & roll fast! Till a point where we played MJ & we lost track of Hammy! Kan cheong kan cheong, we quickly went to search every corner of the house, hearing out for the plastic ball sound. Finally I found him at a corner in the toilet! hahaha.... it was actually quite fun like hide-n-seek.

Or Ba Ka

I was trying to wear my shoes outside the house, close the door & take my bag out from the house. Just as I was doing all these 3 things simultaneously, my head bang against the metal grill door. Wah....after that I really WOKE UP!!! I was actually rushing out of the house in the morning to meet Bebe to play Badminton. Initially I thought my head it was pain but I didn't bother about it, but after an afternoon nap I actually woke up with an "Or Ba Ka" on my forehead. Everytime i kene any blue blacks which I always have no idea how i get it in the first place, bebe just love to rub them & i always scream in pain. So no excuse for my "Or Ba Ka" too... & the screaming goes again!

Of course I understand the finances if not just about me, but it is about us. As we grow older & with a vision ahead of us, naturally finances is a factor that will bring us closer to our reality.

Yes...I've decided to move on with my career again.... From Training to Zoo to Healthcare & now jumping into an oil & gas company. Why changed? For better career advancement & I don't really like my current job scope. Anyway now still young can try out different jobs, if not next time very hard to jump around liao. But I'm quite confident that this jump will be quite final & make me stay for a long time. Althought I need to work on Sat & even longer working hours, I really hope that the hard work will pays off. Darling thanks for being so supportive! At least we can kindof finalise which area of house we can look at now :)

long awaited post....

Well well, been awhile since either one of us long posted. The week was great, with dinner compliments of Amily and Jasmine, two nice sisters who keep complimenting that my dear very pretty, very sweet, all the good stuff basically etc..... had good seafood meal and so full till started playing "Guess the number" game that everyone feard, not till the deserts came along. The chrysanteum jelly with grapes and dunno what was most soothing after the heavy seafood, smooth on the throat and stomach. After which was a nice stroll with all the doggies, of course this time round i was happy just to see them all together, Hugo and Raoul was handled by the other two guys hehe..... Catch a movie next time ya..... saw a new penguin surfing movie trailer....think u'll like that.
Over the weekend had a good game of badminton where i think dear's skill has improved alot since the very first time she held the racket. Dun play play now can do smack liao, but often it misses just before the net hehe.... Anyway before we left for our game on sunday, we happened to watch the "Aviva Badminton Tournament" live on TV. Gosh the way they play really inspiring lor. Not normal smack, but jump up in the sky and smack with precision on the line.....so i tried it too but when i jump up, miss lor.....sigh.....so drama....make dear laugh untill cannot play properly. Well, i'm your clown mah, remember? =)
Aree and Eugene, i know you both are reading this so when we gonna play together??? We purposely play first so that won't be monkeys in front of you both proz!! *grinZ
Well alot has happened too. Caught in a job dilemma and possibly going into a 5.5day work week, hopefully the career advancement would be a great comfort to her and when she's over there, hopfully she can advocate that 5.5day work week just does'nt work that well among staff nowadays, considering her office is goign to move to move to jurong in about 3mths time and daily, i think will also OT like siao cause in the beginning of formalizing the HR dept, rules and regulations etc. Can you imagine sat wake up earli go all the way to jurong jux to work from 9am to 12.30pm? Sucks right? I think i'm the voice for piggy now....agree dear?
Also i know got abit of household issues, both of us. We'll sort it out and work ahead okay? Sometimes i feel we need ot be oblivious to our surrounding cause we frankly cant make everyone happy. As long as we know we're not done anything extreme to cause unhappiness and it's just others who experiencing PMS, jux live and let on ya.....we got too many things in our mind to be too troubled by such issues.
Well, Sat went to dear's house for dinner with her dad. Think i too obssessed with badminton liao. I asked her little brother if he likes playing badminton and next time we know, 3 of us downstairs playing haha..... then we walked the stone floor, suppossedly good for the body and we're supposed to talk till no pain at all. If you feel pain, means a person's body alot of problems, and hey guess what, we both cannot take it haha!!!!
Dinner was plain O'home cooked food. Delicious and healthy. Her aunt can really whip up a good meal. The last time there was some beef noodles. Heavenly man..... had a chat with her dad. Actually wanted to buy egg tarts from joo chiat area for him before i went over but when i reach there, sold out left 2 pandan egg tarts only...... *sigh.... nxt time. Good to know her dad's business is booming, cause indirectly it'll ease off some of her burden and maybe give you a house in future? LOL!!!! Before we left, took back on big plastic bag of ******* Dvd's..... i tell you, can make us watch for prolly 3mths. We jux completed "Magicians of LovE", some taiwan drama. Pretty good i would say thou i heard it was some time back liao. Who got recent nice taiwan/HK dramas to loan?? =)
Alright, as usual i'll surf car forums on the weekends, it's a great place for current news, rubbish and even product sales. I chanced upon this chap who was selling his personal collection of Oakleys to support his new found hobby, DUCATI RACING BIKES!!!! Anyway, it's really a collection of rare stuff, most not even found in Singapore. The only sunglasses i wear, and like unfortunately is Oakleys and gosh after browsing almost his entire collection, i scope down to the final 3 contenders cause of BUDGET, it's really nice and i also don't really want those typical sports/aggressive looking ones, and this 3 jux fitted the bill, chic and rare, and looks like my car colour also hahahahaha....
May i present to you, my top 3 contenders:

Oakley 5 3.0 Black/Grey Polished Lens (nice simple classic black design like those gucci ones, but guy wear gucci like fag right? Well in my opinion at least)

Oakley Twitch Cream ( this is the one i really like but he just emailed me that it's $180, not $150 as posted giving me the link. So it's me and dear see wrong or he changed the info after my call? *grrrr....notice the legs? It's unique for a Oakley)

Oakley Bottlecap Cream with Titanium Iridium Lens (similar to the above one, except it's a half jacket)

Oakley Full Collection for $100,000!!! (if you also really siao over Oakley, you can just buy everything. I belive he'll thow in the cupboard and deliver to your house doorstep also haha)

So which one? Prolly thur i'll go down and try it but first my do my finances first cause spending money was'nt hwo it used to be till i met Princess Chong..... *smileZ
