What Lies Ahead?

I stayed home the whole day awaiting the arrival of my new set of furniture. Did some soul searching. I began to think, what do I really want? Till now, the answer is a question mark. I'm unsure of what I want in the future. Right now, it's like "see what good then take what" kinda feeling. I suddenly feel so powerless, I began to realise I couldnt control my fate.

Anyway, today isnt a good day to began with. I shall not elaborate further. People who needs to know, knew what happened already. I just hope by Monday, everything can come to a proper ending, or at least a good ending. I'm tired of facing all the shit at home and outside. I dont know what to do anymore. One more wrong step and everything falls.

At night I went to Zhi Hao's wake. I got to "see" him for a final time. He was peaceful. Saw a few friends. Some whom I havent seen for a long time. It's a good feeling to see each other again. But again, I thought to myself, why must we only meet up during such events? Life is short, really short. And unpredictable. We must all learn to cherish and live each day to it's fullest. You never know what can happen the next moment of your life. One second can mean alot of things. I hope Amanda and ZH's family can move on properly. And to ZH, Rest In Peace bro. A final farewell to you. Goodbye.

Raging Phoenix

I was invited to try out facial at Ezen Group today specially by Esla 老板. Sadly I didnt get to see her today because she was not feeling well. Nevertheless, Esther did a great job for me today!

The experience there, I would say is great. Service is good, quality is good, standard is good too. They'd first analyse your problem, then let you know the available treatments, then will recommend the most suitable one for you. The whole process is very comfortable and soothing. Overall, I would give them 4.5/5 stars. (",)


This is my beautician for the day, Esther.

Met Boss after that. After meeting we went to catch Raging Phoenix. Initially our plan is to watch A Christmas Carol, but after seeing the trailer for Raging Phoenix, we changed our mind. Luckily the nice staff at Cathay Causeway Point allowed us to change our tickets. So we caught Raging Phoenix.

Deu, a girl with equally high degree of recklessness and beauty has never experienced 'true love'. Her life changes completely when some gangsters try to kidnap her and she narrowly escapes with the help of Sanim, a sad looking stranger with a painful past. Waking up in an abandoned factory, she joins his friends who practice a form of drunken Thai break-dancing martial arts that they dub Meyraiyuth. Sanim and his friends, having had loved ones abducted, join forces to get back at the kidnappers.

Movie Review

I seldom catch Thai movies but this is good stuff. The fighting scenes and stunts are really well choreographed. Things that are missing in Hollywood's action packed movie can be found in this movie. The best part of the movie is that the hero is a female. Something seldom seen in fighting movies. And she's really cute too. (",)

The thing I dislike about the movie is that some parts are really too draggy and the storyline seems a little too unrealistic for my liking.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Official Movie Trailer



Anyway as I was going home, I saw this disgusting thing below my block, right beside my lift lobby. I wonder who is the irresponsible person who did this. Stank up the whole lobby. =\


Did you guys catch me online? Remember 女友 Magazine Men We Love 2009? Check it out below. Thanks to YOU for letting me know. Anyway, we should catch up for a meal when you are free.



Special thanks to Razor TV and The Straits Times for the wonderful interview! (",) Not forgetting NuYou Magazine for the opportunity.

2012 Singapore Style

Remember the scenes in 2012 movie? Today I experienced a little mini version of it. Lol. I was having lunch with Aik Leng, Jonathan and Atlantis when suddenly there was a heavy downpour. We thought that the rain might stop or get smaller as time goes by but it ended up getting heavier and heavier till an extend that it poured really heavily. So we stayed at the food centre till it was really late, we had no choice but to call cab so as to not get late for lessons.

As we called cab, we got a shock. It was flooded everywhere. People had difficulty passing through. Even smaller cars was half submerged under water. The market place and shops below together with the toilet, was flooded. Shop owners had no choice but to use the pubic bins to scoop water out. It was truly a sight worth seeing. How often do we get to see this in Singapore? Fortunately to say, very rarely. 2012, Singapore style.


Cab fare from school to bukit timah? $4. Cab fare from bukit timah back to school? $10. Lol. Thanks to the flood and downpour. Anyway lessons went on as usual. Noone except the 4 of us remembered the little "adventure" we had. (",)

Anyway, it's Carol's birthday tomorrow. I typed and wanted to wish her tonight midnight but end up pressing the send button instead. Lol. Still, here's wishing you another advanced Happy Birthday mei mei! Remember the day we met at Chinatown? The day we sang together at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre? You and Daniel were the first two memebers of EME. I'm so happy to have known you. Best wishes to you k! (",)

Zhi Hao's body will be flown back this weekend. He had a state military funeral in a chapel in US and will be holding his wake here in Singapore during the weekends. I'll be attending the wake. RIP Bro.

Good night everybody.
