"Baby, I finally received the tickets for the Singapore Flyer. I pre-booked 2 tickets to board the flyer on 8th April, which marks our first year anniversary. You once said that all tickets must be sold out by then, so I decided to give you a surprise by pre-booking the tickets for our special day. I was so happy when I managed to order them online. But nothing matters now. You're no longer by my side, who am I to celebrate it with?

You're gone for almost a month now. Life still goes on. But I know, it will never be the same again. I know I promised you never to cry again. But sometimes, my tears just start flowing. And when they do, my heart aches so much, so much that I wish I was dead.

I misses you so so much.. Words can't describe how much I miss you. Now, I can only see you in my dreams, which sometimes I do. Those are the moments I cherish the most now.. I love you, Baby."

Which one to get?

My faithful desktop of more than 5 years have 'left' me yet again. Not sure what's the problem this time, but I've decided NOT to give it another chance. Yes, I'm getting myself a new lappie! Still waiting for the IT show in March but tentatively, I've 2 favourites in mind..

Choice #01 (white or champange gold - to match my psp)

Sony Vaio CR23-G



a
Choice #02 (red or yellow)
a

Between both, my vote is for Vaio. But my wallet seems to feel otherwise. So I'm kinda hanging in mid-air. Those good in IT, do click on the hyperlink for the specs of each lappie and help me decide which is better.

P/S: Pls don't suggest me getting a mac. Thanks. =)

3 down, 1 more to go

I can't believe this! Despite the price hike at Cathay, I actually watched 3 movies in 2 weeks! Oh well, it IS the cny season Lar. Do bear with me while I do a review on these 3 very different movies.

Kungfu Dunk


Shi-Jie (Jay Chou), grew up in a martial arts school and is well-trained in kung-fu. With his kung-fu skills and good reflexes, Shi-Jie excels in basketball by mastering the slam dunk technique. Wang-Li (Eric Tsang), who is trying to locate Shi-Jie's real family, invites him to join the university's basketball team in hope of making some money. Shi-Jie faces new challenges while trying to blend in with the basketball team members Ting-Wei (Chen Bo-Lin) and Xiao-Lan (Baron Chen). With the upcoming basketball championship and the appearance of Li-Li (Charlene Choi), will the team members set aside their differences and personal feelings for the love of the game?
a
Was quite excited (well, very excited) about Jay's new movie. It must be the aftermath of watching Jay's concert. Did I mentioned how suave and cool and talented he is? Ok, I digressed. Anyway, I was having high hopes for this movie - kungfu + basketball + hunks and babes - what more can one ask for?
a
Unfortunately, I was only half right. Jay's character was his usual cool and suave, plus a little boyish and a little 傻傻的 (sha sha de). I quite enjoyed the movie with all the amazing fighting and slam dunks scenes, until the last part, where the story started to get a little 'out-of-the-extraordinary-impossible'. For that, this Jay Chow movie gets only 2.5 popcorns from me.


a
CJ7
a

A fantasy tale featuring state-of-the-art visual effects, "CJ7" is a comedy about a poor labourer (Stephen Chow) and his young son in mainland China. When a fascinating and strange new pet enters their lives, they learn a poignant lesson about the true nature of family and the things that money can't buy.
a
I gotta be frank, this movie wasn't on my 'must-watch' list. If it wasn't a treat (Thank You!), I probably won't have watched it. But, I was glad that I did cos it wasn't your usual 'crappy-licious-funny' Stephen-Chow-style movie. No doubt there are many funny elements that are pretty much Stephen-Chow-style, the little twist at the end of the movie, along with the morale it brings, is not what I expected from the 'King of Humour'. For that, this movie earns 3.5 popcorns.

a
P.S I love you

Holly Kennedy is a grieving young widow who discovers that her late husband, a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman, has left her a list of tasks revealed in 10 messages, delivered anonymously, intended to ease her grief. With only words as her guide, she embarks on a journey of rediscovery, exploring again the meaning of friendship and marriage but most of all, how strong love can transform the finality of death into a new beginning for life.
a
A highly anticipated movie, at least for me. I can't tell you how much I love this movie. From the unwilling-ness to accept her husband's death, to slowly moving on learning to explore and rediscover about relationships and "how strong love can transform the finality of death into a new beginning for life". A heart-warming and meaningful movie that gets 4 popcorns from me.
a
a
P.S I dedicate this movie to my Baby. I love you.
a
Away From Her
a
I haven't watch this yet, but I know it will be a good one. Wait for my review..
a

Married for almost 50 years, Grant's and Fiona's (Gordon Pinsent andJulie Christie) commitment to each other appears unwavering. Their daily life is filled with tenderness and humour; yet this serenity is broken by Fiona's increasingly evident memory loss - and her restrained references to a past betrayal. For a while, the couple is able to casually dismiss these unwelcome changes. But when neither Fiona nor her husband can deny any longer that Alzheimer's disease is consuming her, the couple is forced to redefine the limits of their love and loyalty - and face the complex, inevitable transition from lovers to strangers.

Eat, drink and be merry

This year, cny seems a little different. The lack of the happy joyous mood. Guess the older you get, the lesser the fun cny brings. No doubt I'm still able to collect ang baos, but cny just doesn't seem as fun as before. It's just like any other day, except families and friends gather together to eat, drink and be merry (and to gossip and catch up).

Another reason may be coz I was pretty unwell during this festive season. I've been having this really bad cough since 2 days before the eve of cny. (And as I'm typing away now, I'm still coughing and my throat feels lousy, and my chest aches every time I cough.) First week was just dry cough -doctor said I caught a cold-, second week is cough with yellowish phlegm (meaning I'm too heaty. eeek. all thanks to me not avoiding food like chicken, eggs, sesame oil and mutton soup - which are ALL super heaty and not good for coughs.)

Last reason is becoz I just lost someone dearest to my heart. The feeling of missing someone badly is -shitty-, especially during such festive season. While others eat, drink and be merry, you can't help having a sense of lost and loneliness.

But, life still goes on.. For him and all others who care..

Some pics to share..





P/S: My sec school friends said Nat and Weiqi have 'demonish' bodies. *nose bleed* haha..

Super BIG virus...

Been having this crazy cough for a week now. The coughing virus is so -deadly-. Despite taking medicine and drinking lots of H2O, it just doesn't seem to go away. Plus, I am so busy with work, classes and CNY preparations that I've no time to see a doctor for antibiotics or proper medication. My cough's been so bad that I actually have to wear a mask around my office to prevent the germs from spreading before the CNY period.



Pathetic me.



"Stop taking photos already, would you?!"

Gotta see a doctor tomorrow... I still didn't get to see the doctor cos I overslept - 09022008

一個人也要過得很好

The worse of Alvin's passing is over. It's been 2 weeks now. The first week was practically hell. I didn't know how I managed to pull through, but somehow, I did.

Till now, I still have friends asking me 'how are you', 'hope you're doing well', 'you're a strong person, you will get over this'. But sometimes, I don't want to be strong. I want to be weak, so I can have a reason to grieve and cry as much as I want to. But I know Alvin won't want that. He wants me to be strong, to be happy and to move on. Though I can't see him, hear him nor touch him, I can feel him. I know he is somewhere near, protecting me and watching over me, always.

Most importantly, I know he loves me, as much as I love him. This love and our happy memories is enough for me to be strong and carry on.

"I woke up this morning and a sudden feeling swept over me. Subtle, but I recognise it instantly. It's the feeling of missing. I miss you, Baby. Though I have been numbing myself with work and a lot of activities, I still misses you badly.

It has been raining a lot lately. The grey and gloomy skies seem to know how much I am missing you, and is crying with me. Those were the times when my heart start aching and my tears start flowing. I misses you so much..."
