EGGNSTY SANDWICH

TOASTED BREAD

EGGS

MAYO

WASABI

GROUNDED BLACK PEPPER

SALT

CREAM CHEESE

MAYO

OLIVE OIL

TOMATO

LETTUCE

Don't let the look deceive you. It's actually rather good (according to Yvonne, it looks gross) BUT the ingredients complement one another very well, giving it a unique and interesting taste. The eggnsty sandwich would leave the tip of your tongue slightly stingy due to the Wasabi. However, I feel that the Wasabi really added character to the sandwich, it awaken the taste buds with it's distinct taste but then again not to the extend where by it runs up your nose. The ground pepper, Mayo and cream cheese provided a strong taste to the soft texture of the egg.

YUM.

We stepped into room 752 in Gleneagles Hospital where the war was at. What war u ask? The war against cancer. My uncle has been fighting the brutal disease for 2 years , doctors claim it was a miracle that he survive so long. Now the war is coming to an end and the likely victor is undesirable.

Euthanasia is illegal in Singapore but the doctors has already administered two strong dose of sedative, forcing him to be in a semi comatose state. According to my uncles wishes , the nurses took off most of the life support tubes and is now living merely on will power.

The nurses and doctors claim that this is the first case where an Asian man requires 2 dose of sedative. Even now he still struggles awake with his eyes half open but clearly conscious of his surroundings.

My uncle is a Christian and he said he's ready to be with Jesus in his after life. The pastor came and prayed, paving his way to the golden gates. 3 days ago he saw my grand father, his father and an Indian man. According to the pastor the Indian man's an angel. He laughed and said he didn't know that there are Indian angels. The day he saw the angels he prayed a crucial prayer to god to take him home at 2359 ( his wife laughed at the army term)

As we walked into the war zone, we heard loud crackling noises. We moved closer to my uncle and realized it was from his chest. There's so much phlegm clogged up in his chest area that every heave of the chest seems to be a struggle against the phlegm His chest moves up and down slowly as we looked on wondering which of these breath will be his last..

The Night Of Mild Madness

I was watching "year one" ( surprisingly it was hot babes galore ) and my dad came in and asked if I've seen my maid.

It was 2am in the morning so having a maid missing from home definately warrants the title of mild madness. So there I went in search of her, thankfully vonn called me so I wouldn't feel so alone.

230am we decided to call her handphone ( you must be thinking " why not call earlier dumbo" well cause the last time I checked her phone was spoilt. ) She answered and claimed she went down for a walk.

3am she came back and my mum asked her what happened . Here's the scary part. She said she heard her grandmother ( who's dead I might add ) calling her name and scolding her, asking her to come out. Saying that she didn't pray to her after she got married and asked my maid to return home to pray and clean her house .

The best part, she said her grandmother has been calling her for a few days already and according to her it wasn't a dream as she was awake and heard it beside her ear. She claimed she heard things drop as well.

Fact or fiction? Though I could swear I saw a slight smile while my maid told the story. You know the kind of smile you see on the amateur poker table, where guy X bought the bluff and folds and the aggressor smiles..

Chart taken from: http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=PER

Lesson 1: Why information = Money

The chart displayed above is the stock chart for the company called Perot Systems Corporation (NYSE: PER). Note the ridiculous increase in stock price from 18/09 (Fri) - 21/09 (Mon) from $17.91 to $29.56, that's a whopping $11.65 increase in three days!

The reason for the increase? the news/information that Dell was to buy over Perot Systems Corporation for $30.00 per share a 69.5% premium to it's previous market value. The first time I read this news was on forbes.com at 09.21.09, 11:30 AM (same time forbes released the news on it's website) that means by the time we hear of it in the main stream media we would be too late.

Information=money. Imagine this, if we were to know or heard of or even have the slightest clue that Dell was about to make the move I would have bought 1 lot (i'm a poor guy) at $17.91, that's $17,910 just three days later the stocks would rise to $29.56 a total of $29,560 for 1 lot meaning a profit of $11,650. To put it into perspective, that's three months of average Singaporeans pay in 3 days.

Oh well, another of my WHAT IF theory. Hope you don't mind.

My questions.
Where do I get such information?
How do I go about getting it?
How do I ensure the credibility of the information?
How do i start?
How now.

Aspiration Home

We took a drive down Blair road today . The place was perfect.

It was like a world of it's own. The main road looked normal with HDB flats by the side. However as we turned into Blair rd the entire layout changed it was as though we were transported to another realm.

The streets were quiet,Aston Martins,Jaguars and BMWs scattered the drive ways as tai tai looking ladies walk their pooches by the side. 2 rows of shop houses rich with history accompanied us throughout our walk.

The shop houses were beautiful. We tried our best to peep into them without looking like thieves.

I checked the price for a shophouse there, $4.2 million with 4000+ sqft. Located in the CBD next to the CTE and outram park mrt, it's worth it.

The Call
I received a call from a nurse from SGH, she called to ask how was I doing. After telling her about the slight swelling and infection 2 weeks ago, I decided to ask her the question . I asked her how long after before I could start running again, with a slight chuckle I could hear her smiling behind the phone, picking up a knife and spreading honey over her words and sprinkling sugar before issuing it to me.

Nurse:"Oh...haha running not so fast lah..hahaah"
Me:"4-5months?"
Nurse"yah around there"...

Looks like I have to do upper body exercises for half a year at least.

Ok I know it looks a little like Medusa's decapitated head but no, it's suppose to be a draw out of an idea to organize my wires.

Problem: The multi plug power strip I use is flooded with wires! some of them are only used once a day (e.g. hand phone chargers) So I have a lot of loose wires lying around and all over my room.

With reference to the picture above, the proposed materials used will be Wood,Rubber strips (from bicycles tubes maybe).

Equipment needed would be a drill, hammer and nails.

First, I would nail the boards together to form the 4 walls of the box. Next I would drill a Semi Circle at the bottom right hand corner of one of the 4 walls. This is to allow the wire to run out to the main plug. After placing the wire into the semi circle hole, I would place the completed 4 walls onto a board below ( it will not be nailed together ,So i can have easier access to the plugs ). Lastly, the rubber strips. I would cut rubber strips and nail/glue them side by side, similar to that of the picture. This would allow the wires to come through.

Tada! instead of seeing all the plugs and loose wires lying around, you'll see something like the 2nd picture above. Just wires that u require to run out and those you don't can be placed inside.

Neater room instantly. ha i think.. It's just an idea might not work out or become a fire hazard. So stay tune to the news! www.channelnewsasia.com

Anger?fear?anxiety?adrenaline?

My heart beat quickens as it pounds against my rib cage, threatening to explode from my chest. My body heaves up and down as I try to slow down my breathing. My hands trembles a lot as my face turns a scarlet red. The perspiration glands go to work as my shirt gets soaked throughly.

My hands tremble slightly as i pick up 1 blue chip and 3 red chips. $10.60 I said, as i threw it towards the pot. I stare right into the opposite players eyes,taunting him "call, i might be bluffing?, pay to see my cards". My heart beat quickens as it crashes into my chest as a exponential rate. I kept my face still and my breath stead. Liken to a duck which looks calm on the surface of the water but struggling beneath the water surface. He folds, i let out a smile.

I raise my hands slowly, my heart rate quickens. The teacher calls my name as the lecture hall turns back. I can feel blood rushing to my face as perspiration bead form behind my back. "WRONG!" the teacher exclaimed as the class giggles in their own groups. I forced a smile as perspiration begin to flood my back.

The Road To Recovery

Day 8 after my surgery. I'm at SGH now waiting for the doctor to see me. Thanks to my temper last night, I'm alone today. Crutching through the crowd hoping no one would bump into me as i'd have no one to hold on to.

I'll elaborate more about that later. About my leg, yesterday it was good , barely any pain and I could walk with minimal help from the crutch.

However, I realized a large strip of blue black (blood clot) forming behind my knee ,that got me rather worried. Shall ask the doctor in awhile.

My appointment with Prof Paul is at 12 but my sister had to be at work at 10 and I needed to ride .so.. Now there're 200 numbers infront of my queue number.

My left knee brace forces me to be in this awkward sitting position. Left knee straight out, sitting at the edge of the sit and tensing my right wing muscle to keep me in place. Thus causing my ass and back to hurt. Shit, there's still 180 numbers infront of mine. Ass and back, I'm sorry but you have to bear with it a little longer.

P.S. I hoped I brought some mints as I can't stand the smell of my breath. I'm wearing a surgical mask, confined.

The Quarrel

I know I sounded like a monster but whatever you said was inconsiderate and thoughtless.

Since day one I fear... Oh what the fcuk, I don't want to go through all this again. Talk to you later .

2009-07-28T13:50:00.003+08:00

The Road To Recovery

Day 6 after surgery. There's still the sharp pain when I accidentally twist the knee. Other than that there's not much pain in the knee area.

However, there seem to be some blood clogged at the shin area. Everytime I stand , blood rushes down the leg and the throbbing begins.

The pain beats to the tune of a T.I. Song I used to hear. Pity I'm in no state to dance to it.

2009-07-27T17:25:00.004+08:00

The Road To Recovery

Day 5 after the surgery and i am still sofa ridden ( ok I choose to since walking becomes such a chore now ha ).

Mr knee brace hugging my left knee, holding it together , ensuring it is kept straight at all times .

Mr n mrs crutch supports me as I hobble around the place. They withstand the pressure I put on them and the stench of my armpits when I rest on them.

But the hero of my support team is none other then my darly ,yvonne. Despite her ultra busy schedule she never fails to sit by me, clean my leg and being my pillar of support. Despite having to stay at home for the next 6 weeks (till my brace is removed) I cannot consider myself to be a hermit as this hermit shell has 2 little crabs ( she's xxkg and I'm 77kg) inside. Thanks baby for being here for me despite your tight schedule.

And of course I've to thank my family for being here and my mum ferrying me up and down to the polyclinic.

That's all for the support team.

Now, the knee. I feel that I'm still at the beginning of the road to recovery ( duh it has only been 5 days). It doesn't hurt much when I'm lying down and resting my legs but it hurts terribly whenever I twist it by accident. The pain is internal and feels very much like a black smith striking a war hammer against the core of the bones . Fortunately for me, such pain's often short and sweet( did I say sweet?) so the black smith strikes and runs. Irritating fella.

I'm still the same weight 77kg but I can feel myself losing the muscle mass. Smu rugby I'll gym like a monster after I recover. You will get back whatever you gave me.

P.s. Vonn is in love with the MTV serial "The City" anyone got the DVD?

22/7

Vonn and dad accompanied me to the hospital to register and sign the consent form for my operation. At 930am i was called into the room. After answering a few questions 3 physiotherapist came in to see me, apparently one was a fresh grad from Biomedical and another a NUS high intern and one the mentor. I felt a little like a lab rat as the mentor patiently taught the fresh grad and the intern several ways to measure and test for a PCL tear ( the fresh grad was rather cute, vonn disagrees).

After the physio, it was off to the doctor to access my condition before surgery. The doctor looked a little more than 20yrs old , I was rather uncertain about her post and kept peering at her name tag to confirm it was DR JAYNE and not XIAO_JAYNE_88. Xiao Jayne then told me to come back at 1330. So i left for SMU with vonn, the moment i stepped out of DGBY MRT the nurse called me to the operating theater.

I flew back to the hospital and was given a blue gown. I had so much trouble tying the knots to the back to secure the gown. A gush of wind blew in right up my legs. feeling vulnerable without my beloved pants i stepped out of the toilet and onto the wheel chair and into the operating theater

The operating theater

The lights were likened to cloves, 3 petals of lights. The nurse pushed me in slowly as the doctors ushered me up the bed. I looked around the room, with the clove shining right on my face. I saw my surgeon Prof Paul Cheng (he just got his Prof rank) I felt safe to be in the Profs hands. The anesthetist was on the phone with his wife (speaking in Cantonese) , he pushed the needle into my hands and said "tan jan call leh" to his wife and whispered to me..."you're going to sleep now..relax.."

I had a few things to blog about, both passworded and non-passworded but just couldn't find the time. You must be wondering, what's different about today as compared to yesterday? where did I find the time to sit my ass down, raise my tired little fingers and press the letters www.blogger.com. Shortly after 20 secs of panting, drag my right hand towards the mouse, slowly pushing my hands forward, gripping the mouse gently and clicking GO. Thus finding my way to this page. (assuming i saved the password)

After all that crap, what i'm trying to say is that the bulb in my room blew so i can't study today. Usually at 1030pm I would finish gyming and start to hit the books at 11pm BUT today the unusual of unusuals happened, and i got no light . It was fate and what confirmed that was my table lamp wasn't working either. Interesting...There's where I found the time to study.

Anyway that was a total crap post just for the sake of writing something here for my fellow phantom readers. Well here's the following post you should look out for

1) The Attack Of The Pyramids
2) Transformers : Battle of the SEX(y) Isabel Lucas VS Megan Fox and a slight review on Transformers II.

As promised these are the updates.

Last week was one of the most fulfilling week in the history of Aldric-kind, Vonn passed her Basic theory (on first try) on Saturday, we had a super chillex time at Timbre, had a touch rugby game and met Bryan and Daz for lunch.

K that was kind of the intro, here's the details. Vonns dad sent us to Singapore driving center where vonn's test was. She was barely looking into the basic theory book and her usual "AIYAH CAN LAH CAN LAH" thing was going on 15mins before the exam. With a few flips of the book she went in. I looked at the clock anxiously as the first guy came out looking all confident. A few minutes later vonn came out smiling with a TWIST sign exclaiming that she passed.

To celebrate her passing we did her and my favourite thing, NO not shopping (thank god) we went to eat! Initially the plan was to eat something "LIGHT" before Timbre (our reservations were at 8pm) but we end up food hunting. When i say food hunting , i don't mean like Oh there's a good bar chor mee stall lets go there, NO! we walked a whole hour searching for Mhd Sultan's Bak Kut Teh. So upon reaching the stall we were famished and decide to reward ourself with 2 x bowls of rice, 1 x Zhu Jiao (di er sen), 1 x You Char Kway, 1 x Bak Kut Teh soup. So there we were NOM NOM NOM NOM MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.

With our stomachs bulging to the extent 2 guys stood up to let us sit on the bus (kidding) we made our way to Timbre. Feeling all embarrassed about not ordering anything, we got something light. A WHOLE SEAFOOD PLATTER YO! ha so NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM and then came the Buffalo wings , which sucked in my opinion but could be due to us being very full. ( I think i got a problem with sentence structure)

Anyway, after a food filled weekend then came Sunday where I had a game of touch rugby, as usual it was great running about and swinging that Rugby ball, did a few power runs/step (as they called it) and called it a day. Then I went to fulfill my side of the bargain, to treat Bryan Ng to lunch. So NYDC it was! I was expecting an awkward filled lunch as me and Bryan were practically strangers but it was great in the end. We then agreed to meet at Timbre the following weekend( yesterday)

2009-06-25T19:47:00.002+08:00

I have many things to say. It's just not the time.

Not much but thank god till now it's still a positive figure ha.

The Dream
It all started in the club, Vonn and I were sitting down at some ledge looking thing with our friends beside us. Our laughter was drowned by the pounding bass of the clubs music.

Just then, a man came up to the boys and offered us some "drugs". He said they were Lead balls (I have no idea why I ate lead balls, despite knowing they are fcuking poisonous) anyway back to the story. So this guy offered us lead balls which were supposedly drugs, after stupidly picking a few balls and pushing it into my mouth I got high.

The next thing I know , I was in some sort of suite in a hotel near by being interrogated by a Central Narcotic Bureau. I was then made to fill up this form which was blue and white in colour ( I thought they said dreams were in black and white?)I remember clearly writing my name, some sort of a confession to drugs. I was like super wtf as my future, my girlfriend and the amount of disappointment on me flashed through as i wrote down A.L.D.R.I.C ...... age and what nots and signed on the dotted line.

The CNB officer was the typically plump (from all the donuts), wearing suspenders and a gold framed specs. I looked up and asked him, what's the damage? he replied " Minimum 1 Year in Jail". There i broke down, not being a wussy and all but knowing what i'll lose in the process.

Twitter, why would anyone want to read up on little snippets of your ideas and your life? I barely read the first two "post" of Ohsofickles twitter and X the website. Nothing compared to a post, like this one ha. Full of information and details! you wouldn't find the newspapers going "MAN DIES" .. "H1N1 KILLS AGAIN"..NO! we want the JUICY DETAILS!

Ran 6km today, was a fairly good run. I was leading the pack all the way (due to the lack of people from the Recce company and Signal company) till the last 3km and was overtaken by this Pes A guy ha. Good run though, 32mins.

So the current record ( I KNOW it's slow compared to most guys but it's my record so i don't give a shit)

7KM-45mins
6KM-32mins

Sadly, I had to go to camp in the morning to settle some stuff. After that I rushed back as vonn wanted to buy her bikini and last min stuff before the cruise. It was alittle tense with a few quarrels but the thought of us going on a vacation together brought smiles to our face.

Feeling rich and sexy, we took a cab to Suntec City to get Vonns Bikini (in the end we didn't get it as it was $149.00 for so little cloth). At 4pm vonn had to go for her SMU ARTDICTED interview, it was a crazily packed day with me rushing here and there before the cruise.

After the interview vonn treat me to her fav MR BEAN ice cream as she had some voucher. Luckily Vonns interview was a success or else i'll have to see her black face for the next 3 days 2 nights. At 5pm we made our way to Harbour Front, along the way (as usual) we grabbed some snacks, we ate PIG INTESTINES and cuttle fish. The pig intestines was sexual but not as orgasmic as the previous one where it's skin was crisp and the juice was tasty

After meeting up with Elroy and Gang we filled in our H1N1 declaration form and entered the cruise ship. Throughout the cruise vonn was paranoid about the H1N1 Flu virus and got us to sanitize our hands at every junction and lectured me for touching things like door knobs etc. Ha such a nanny haiyo.

So we entered the cruise with Ah Gong and Elroy's Dad hurling instructions, cheats and tips throughout the Casino. Those regulars really knew their way around and how to beat the system, because of them we managed to smuggle ourself into VIP places and managed to see the Balcony room (which we made full use of it by throwing fruits out of the Window). Ah Gong and birds dad also managed to get some welcome fruit punch for us (by right it was for the VIPs). Wonder how lost we would be if it wasn't for them and Elroy. The lobby was so grand that i didn't believe we were in a ship just then!

We slacked around the GRAND lobby for awhile and finally decided to get out lazy asses out and into our rooms. Vonn,Me and Bird shared a room and Cong, Shi hui,Clara and mel had another. The room was small but the view was great (the SEA VIEW) beats having a picture i guess..aha (no offence Edith). Despite the small area, the bed was comfortable and enough for my body ha, it didn't feel the least claustrophobic as the limitless sea view visually enlarged the space. Thankfully our air con was working and the beds were comfortable.

This was the last scene we saw before the boat set sail for no where.

As you can see alot of slacking around in the rooms ha I guess the main fun about the cruise was the company so as long as we were together we didn't bother where we were. We managed to find time to watch 2 movies in the rooms but still we didn't miss out slacking on the ships deck and the Casino which me and Cong lost terribly in. Being surrounded by Choir people, our Sing alongs (with the guitar) was really like SING ALONG ha not like those Matsters going TAPPERED TAPPERED! but there was humanizing and all really complimented Congs and Elroys Guitar skills. Sadly the string broke, i was so ready to learn how to play the Guitar ahha.

Being all saints on sat Night we had a HALO shape gathering at the highest floor, we sat down and relaced while we reminisced the old times. The sharing and recalling of our Saint hood periods brought laughter to our faces but deep down we all miss the times in SAJC. We talked for about 2 hours and went for supper. The whole trip was basically about FOOD FOOD FOOD and more FOOD. The best was Saturdays dinner where it was BBQ FOOD, DAMN SHIOK. Them juicy sausages and grilled beef, after which the dessert was stacked like building blocks . ALL YOU CAN EAT. *Vonn smiles at a corner*

WHHEEEE. ha Elroy introduced this "game" to us. At first I wasn't feeling too safe about it but after doing it once, i did it over and over and over again ha. The cruise was great thanks to Elroy who made it much much cheaper and his awesome guitar skills, Crazy thanks to Shi Hui and her jokes made by and on her (pig jokes), Adrenaline pumping with Cong at the Casion being noobs and not knowing how to bet till Ah gong came along, adventurous thanks to Clara's lost card ahha broke the mundanity of the trip, lovely thanks to vonn and her love for me, knowing i would never be alone.

Yes, i've accepted SMU Business! It has always been my dream to study Business . It was truly a dream come true thanks to Bryan Ng.

First it was crazy when SMU called me down for a business interview, I was shocked as a grade of ABC would never have sniffed the interview rooms of the business school. Then came the news that I got accepted, the song "You can have whatever you likeee" resounded in my head due to the fact that such a miracle can happen and also in monetary terms in the future ha (I have this idea that a business degree would get me the cash).

Sadly, some of my friends and family feel that i should have chosen NUS FASS over SMU Business cause NUS is more reputable and blah. Ha there's some truth in that but I know if i reject SMU business i'll most prob regret for the rest of my life in a hell hole teaching students how to spell.

I love u vonn, you made this all happen.

How I miss playing rugby. There was suppose to be a game against SJI today but Daniel got the dates wrong, it's next saturday. Guess i'll just stick to Sunday touch Rugby. That's the new Safsa Jersey, kinda sexy looking eh? no? oh then it's just me.

we don't need to be no billionaire to get a ticket to the moon

K that's just a phrase from the song i'm hearing now.

Well, it's the exercise period and I'm glad i took the night shift. Being in the night shift means no early mornings and I get my mornings and afternoons free! which kinda doesn't make sense cause when do I actually sleep? I have no idea, my sleep times are so random, little shut eyes here and there and I feel recharged *i think*.

I met many nice NSman from this exercise, a few to mention Leslie, the owner of Redsport.sg and David whose wife owns tantan (a boutique shop owner who designs modern cheongsums) ha both fairly reputable.

I'll be driving to camp these 2 days, so going home will be a breeze. Usually I take about 2 hours to return home, which means I take 4 hours to travel to and from Pasir Laba Camp. Crazy.

Vonn and I were talking about the idea of relative love, I'm sure this topic has been on peoples minds but I don't think it has been discussed much. Why is it that love is often measured via monetary terms? e.g. Boyfriend books yacht for girlfriend's birthday . The facebook comments would be something like "OMG! YOUR BOYFRIEND SO NICE!" "WAH U SO LUCKY, YOUR BF SO SWEEET!" "WTF! YOU MUST FEEL SO LOVED AH!"

However, if there were a picture of a begger holding a $2 (half of his savings) heart shaped cookie for a girl he loves, he wouldn't get the same feedback. Must love really be measured by the size of a persons pocket or generosity? I don't know.

The weekend is ending and the weekdays are back to haunt us.

Last week wasn't such a bad week though, I expected the exercise week to be filled with non-stop work and calls likened to the Singapore Exchange but it turned out to be a slack week with early dismissals. Which also meant we were being very efficient since our work was not compromised.

Friday came and Vonn and I went searching for our Mothers day gift, a little misunderstanding in the car but eventually and as usual we hugged and made out, i mean up yeah UP! DAMN IT! WHY WOULDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME!!! I MEANT UP!!!!! So I purchased a handphone strap from Thomas Sabo with a cute Eiffel Tower charm a total of $69 dollars while vonn bought a bag for her mum. The best part of the day was the talk, we had a good talk at the swimming pool, lying on one of those tanning chairs.

My family celebrated Mothers Day on Saturday as Sunday I was the Duty Clerk, we ate Tim Sum and it was surprisingly cheap, only at $80 for 4 people, my sister expected more ha. Well..perhaps cause i didn't unleash my hungry monster called appetite. hmm, should have gone for the mango pudding.

It's Sunday and it is fairly quiet over here. I slept for 3 hours in the morning and did my work on Process costing, read Catalog (great issue btw) and now blog. This month's and many other months of Catalog rocked, i'm proud that this is a Singaporean Magazine and we finally have something to be proud of, despite it filled with Ang Moh pictures the editors, ideas and photographers were by Singaporeans. I like how they manage to merge Fashion, photography and art together, kind of my 3 Fav Gay Topics. Of course my Man Topics with be BABES, RUGBY and CLUBBING ha.

I was very lucky to be shortlisted for the SMU business interview and finally it's over. Now, the worst has come, the wait for the letter.

The interview was great, it was more of a chit-chat session so fairly fun. It was totally unlike how I pictured it. As I was under the discretionary category, it was a 1 Vs 3 Professors unlike the usual 5students vs 3 professors, so at first i was afraid it will be likened to 3 machine guns taking aim and firing at will.

Well, despite the interview being great I still have the fear of rejection for there was a comprehension which i did not comprehend to and an essay (i have no written for 1.5 yrs). In the interview, they said I was confident and determined and was surprised that i got a D for my GP for i spoke well and got an A for lit. So i told them during GP i wasn't really focus and stuff, i bet after reading my essay and comprehension they will go like "AH HAH! TOLD YOU HIS GP WAS LOUSY!" haha anyway I hope for the best.

Whether i get in or not i still require my wolverine body. I don't think I will stop playing rugby anytime soon so i would need to get bigger, today's just the start of it. Had a good gym session on the upper body, doing bicep curls, decline bench press and horizontal bench press, etc and eating alot after that, more than i could stuff. Now i feel damn full and dying from burstation( the act of bursting).

Vonn and I went to sentosa yesterday, and no we are not sunburned cause we went at night! it was a great experience seeing Sentosa at night and roaming the place. We took a drive to the other side of Sentosa where Sentosa Cove was and saw this amazing bar like place called Suburbia or something like that, it was super chilllex high class and scream LIFESTYLE OF THE RICH AND THE FAMOUS!. We got lost and landed at Sentosa Golf Club where we saw a Ferrari 430, soon...soon.

After which, it was to Mt Faber the view was fantastic but Vonns bladder and weak legs spoilt the trip hmm..she was whining about the "stroll" up and she wanted to pee, well made it so romantic didn't she thanks darly. i love u. ha but still i enjoyed my day esp when it was topped off with MCspicy at our beloved Mcdonalds at Potong pasir!

Photos are not taken by me, but taken from http://www.flylyf.com/ferrari-599xx/

Taken from www.calcruising.com

For the girls and ignorant boys, the Red Car is the Ferrari 599XX while the silver one is it's brother, the Ferrari 599. I still pretty much think the Ferrari 599XX design seem to be a rip off of the Nissan GTR or Vice Versa.

Taken from www.autofans.us

Looks kinda alike doesn't it? Anyway, it's just a point of view, no evidence or facts showing that Ferrari did rip off the design hmmmm just looks kinda similar.

Anyway,after her Wisdom tooth extraction Vonn is out of hospital . It was the worst 2 days of my life when she was in there.

Well,firstly I never felt so Alone before, where Vonn is really not there for me, not literally but because she was on medication she was often groggy or sleeping so there I was alone.

Secondly, it really hurts to see a love one in pain, sometimes tears would well up in her 2 round eyes which now rest on her puffy cheeks and it would hurt me so badly. I wish i could take the pain away from her (i know it's cheesy and sounds from some script but i mean it).

The only way to "take" the pain away was to make her happy, which was kind of ironic cause she felt more pain when she laugh. So i tried feeding her, i treated her to a Soft Food Banquet which consisted of Egg-tofu, steam egg,japanese tofu and Chawamushi (i think i spelt it wrongly).

Hope she gets better.

Moving on, i pretty much gotten over the dark moments of my life. I feel slightly more motivated and have a list of wants now.

The Weekend

The weekend was like a roller coaster ride for me, a nice one with bright red carts with beautiful people. When the ride went up, immense pressure was placed against my chest as my life was held on by the seat belts. When it went downhill, adrenaline flooded my brain as it distributed the signals down to the rest of my body.

Anyway, like every other fairy tale, i'll leave out the shitty parts and share the happy sections. After my poker game on Friday, vonn had a crazy idea of eating Pig Trotters at MD SULTAN, YES MD SULTAN. So being partially retarded i agreed and drove her there for the delicacy. I was feeling argh in side at first ( due to the fact that i had to go all the way there just to have supper at 2am in the morning) but her smile and constant appraisal of it being the best day of her life (she has many best days) deterred me from feeling unhappy, the joy she experienced was truly worth the trip.

Saturday, despite raining Cats and dogs the surprise vonn had for me worked out well. Well in the sense of the enjoyment of her company and the sweet tasting meat when i sink my teeth into it. After which we headed to Jia yi's (she was back for a short while) for a get together, it was hell great as well. No Wii Or Xbox, just plain talk cock and hmm..i guess getting to know each other better kinda thing.

K overall great day.

2009-04-06T22:10:00.002+08:00

Oh yeah it's 10pm and i'm still in my stinky army uniform. It's planning now so i'll be staying in this week.

The Human

"incase you guys/ghost are wondering why i'm using the same picture, it's actually an edited version so just to show you the difference"
-Aldric

Well as the saying goes "Humans are never contented" that statement is so true.I am an epitome of discontentment. If a group of Sociology students were to do a research on humans being discontented ,i'll be the perfect study subject. The following example would show you why.

Last year in April I submitted my University Applications. Time after time i hear a good news from a friend that they got an interview OR an acceptance, and i got none.I prayed and begged and told myself I just want ONE acceptance, needless the university. So i got it, the National University Of Singapore Faculty of Arts and Social Science. I was overjoyed, prayed to the earth and the heavens and happily carried on with my life.

Now, once again in April. I'm sulking, not being in a better course. The newspaper article with sub heading " If you are in SMU econs you are in luck" *something like that*, it shows SMU Econs student get the highest starting pay among all the universities. There..discontentment arises and I start sulking and hoping I can get into SMU this year. Lets just hope Rugby can get me into the school like how it got me into St Andrews JC. Fingers cross.

Yup, despite realizing that I am discontented I am still discontented.

I was on the computer when I received a call from my dad. I answered the phone and heard the news. I called my sir, applied for a half day leave ,wrote my off pass, changed and rushed off. Sitting in the cab thinking how could this have happened. Moments later i reached Khatib MRT. I took a train to Newton and my sister drove me to the house.

Taking off my shoes, pushing them aside neatly as i walk towards the room. There it was, my grandpa lying peacefully on his bed. By his favourite chair in his room where he spent most of the times in. He passed away just an hour before I arrived. I looked at him, touched his cold forehead and applied water to his dried lips. I was surprised that no tears came to my eyes. Everyone was feeling gloomy but no tears unlike my grandmas death. I guess everyone had the same sentiments, we knew both of them could not be seperated for so long. They lived with each other for approx 60yrs, sleeping together, eating together, despite scolding each other i know they still enjoyed the company and the love they shared. There was like an invisible string attached, when one goes..the other follows..

I love you YeYe, hope you rest in peace and enjoy your eternal life with MaMa.

The Service Made Me Lazy

Duty. I was partially bed ridden yesterday, the only times my butt and the bed were not in contact was during Lunch and Dinner. My eyes were glued to my Ipod Touch watching WSOP 2008 Main Event in the morning and Prison Break Season 1 (YES SLOW I KNOW) in the afternoons. Oh the more slackerish day ever. Despite Mr Guilt constantly bugging me to get up and study for my exam, Mr Lazy just fcuked him away. (don't imagine the action you sickos)

Friday Poker and Saturday with Darly, perfect weekend. Pokering with a new faces was great, a brand new table image to build up. Was stacking the chips in the first part of the game but it slowly went down to the foundations in the later session. ha so after 5hrs of Poker i won $4...aha from the initial $70.

Saturday, accompanied darly to study. Well, not really accompany cause I had to study myself. I'm really proud of her now, despite bao being lazy till she is hardworking most of the time. The amount of work she has is almost as much as how much i love her (THATS ALOT WTF) Wonder when will we get our happy Beaching slacking clubbing life back. ha i guess we both have to work hard if we want a pretty house together eh bao. Persevere!

I really have to get my applications done. Comparing myself to Vonn , I am a pig. She does like 10,000word essays on a daily basis while i can't even get a 300 word limit done in 3 weeks. Worst of all, i don't need to research cause i just have to talk about me! damn. I guess i don't know myself well enough ha.

MOOT YOU BABY!

2009-03-15T23:15:00.003+08:00

The rugby match with the old boys was great. Despite them being 30-40yrs old they were still rather fit. I even had an old boy (approx 40yrs old) tapping me on the back, telling me to run to the line out ha. It was supposedly a friendly match but being aggressive by nature, it just couldn't end that way.

Anyway, we played against JJC. Felt good wearing saint stripes again. Everyone took the opportunity to wear full saints outfit, the white shorts with the school crest, the stripe socks and with pride the stripe jersey. The new stripe jersey is ass nice, same material as our SAFSAs jersey. Soft yet ironically hardy.

The Wedding Arch

Friday the Thirteen. The wrath of Friday The Thirteen did not materialize yesterday, despite the myths of the bad luck the day exalts, i had a good day, no a great day.

First it started off with a morning X ray at ***** Camp (I don't know how Sensitive are they about camp names but shant take the risk). I followed my trusty Ipod Touch instructions (there's this application that tells you where to drop) and made my way safely to the camp. Then I saw the sign which states "Republic Of Navy". Just then , i remembered Song's in the Navy, so i decided to give him a call. Neh he wasn't in that camp BUT he told me that Elroy was. What a small world . After the X ray I met Bird and we cocked for an hour before i returned to my camp.

What made the day better was the night with bao zi aka darly aka hun buns aka vonn. We cycled around the estate, down to Buangkok to Sengkang and down to Punggol and down to Punggol end. Taking note of all the nice places to take photos. I wish to correct my previous sentence, i mean I cycled. Vonn was sitting behind me in my Bangla bike. My dad recently purchased a Bangla bike with a sit behind and being MR and MRS adventurous we decided to give it a go, and it worked out fine. I love the feeling of her holding on ignoring the stares and just allowing me to protect her.Lots of laughs and love. Cheap but great feeling..

2009-03-08T12:38:00.002+08:00

I was in my room studying when my mum came in and said " come out, big matter". Just then I was thinking of the possibilities as i walked out. Did Alreo shit on the bad? neh not too big of a matter, OH maybe he Peed on the bed? nope wasn't it. So there I was outside and i saw my maid crying. Apparently, my maid stole $50 from my aunties bag. So how did she get caught? Let us ask Detective Pink Panther.

"After MJ Aldric's Auntie ( let's call her X) lost $85 dollars in the game and proceeded to her bag in the grandMa's room to take money to pay for her losses. So, as X walked into the room, she found her bag opened. Feeling alittle suspicious she decided to count her money. Just before she came, she drew $400 dollars, 8 pieces of $50 dollar notes. She counted the money and only found 7 pieces ($350). While X was looking high and low for the money, thinking that she dropped it. Mdm Ng (Mother of Aldric Chew) came in and helped her look for it. Just then the accused (maid) was standing at the door, Mdm Ng looked at her and asked if she took it. The accused said No, just then Mdm Ng reached into the accused pockets and found $50.00.

She admitted that she stole the money. Just as we were interrogating the accused she changed her statement and said the money was borrowed from her friend. So Mdm Ng called Aldric to do the interrogating. Aldric found the loop holes in her argument and finally she broke down and admitted. She was then sent to the police"

What a day.

2009-03-01T12:55:00.003+08:00

After reading Vonns nostalgic post, I had a flashback or two as well. I remember how we start our school days. We would meet at Sengkang MRT, at 0700 she would come jumping down the escalator without her tie on. I can still remember vividly her smiley face(somethings BLACK FACE if she slept late) and her red hair band bobbing up and down as she bounces towards me. She would plant a kiss on my cheeks to complete my awakening.

I watched Slumdog Millionaire with Vonn on Saturday. It was really interesting, both the cinematography and direction. I like how the director use the game show as a medium to convey a story, how the protagonist's story is linked closely to the questions. Another great aspect of the movie is it's sound track, the mix of hip-hop and hindi is perfect.

After the movie we went to the east coast park to romance ha. We sat on a straw mat (which Vonn was very embarrassed about) and enjoyed the evening breeze. One of the most useful things I have learnt from BMT was to cook outdoors, so there I was trying to light a solid fuel, after 10 matches it finally got burning. Since we only got Nachos in our bags, I emptied the packet of Nachos into the Mass tin and got cooking. The Nachos tasted great, warm and cheezy. Sexual.

This made me squirt in my pants.

Our V.day was subtle and quiet. No giant bouquet or expensive dinners, no frills just fun. Yet the feeling of love was not compromised, we enjoyed our date like we always did before . Bao craved for little dragon buns for years, after hearing bao's nags about how great ~~her~~ the xiaolongbaos are, I finally relented and booked a place at Crystal Jades Xiao Long Bao and La Mien.

So then we arrived at Crystal jade, a man in a well pressed suit and a red tie served us. The exterior was lined with gold and the furnishing was exquisite, not bad i told myself. I peered into the restaurant, damn it was crowded, food must be good. So I told the man my name, with a smile he said he couldn't find my name in the list. I told him kindly, I reserved a seat this afternoon at Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao. He gave the WTF look and pointed to the empty restaurant to the side. We were at Crystal jades not the Little dragon buns branch.

It was definitely less crowded, lets just say, they giggled when I said I RESERVED a seat. We ordered XLBs, as soon as I sunk my teeth into those little fair humps, the soup cum(no pun intended you gross little shit) juice cum heavenly syrup filled my mouth..it was orgasmic.

After a change of underwear we headed to our movie spot. Vonn was wondering where were we going for a movie when I drove up Mount Sophia. Yes, you guessed it fur face, it was Sinema. Once again, the same giggle was heard when I told the counter staff, i reserved tickets. I walked into the "Sinema" and was greeted with numerous red comfy couches, that was all i was greeted with, no humans at all.

Really peaceful and loving V.day. Had alot of quiet time together, talking things out and laying things straight. Glad we're ok.

The lucky chip

When I first received my A level results, I was overjoyed.
When I got the letter of acceptance from NUS FASS, I was happy.

After a year of browsing the Recruits in the Straits times, I realise it just isn't good enough. I have yet to see a job offer requiring Degree in Econs specifically. Yes, there are some which states Degree in Econs, but it comes after Degree in Business Admin and Degree in accountancy.So I ask myself, why would they hire a person from FASS when they can get one with an accountancy degree.

That smacked me back to reality and realised it just is not enough. Now I regret rejoicing when I got my results back and regret that I did not study hard enough. An ABC and I was happy with it? who was I kidding. Yet again, regret wouldn't improve anything. I know people would bitch and say, "compare yourself with people who are worst off", if the world does that , we would never improve. We would still be walking bare footed with a club in our hand.

I do not want to spend the rest of my live being a mid tier manager, serving the upper tiers. Driving their Lamborghini's to them while holding their Gucci bag and wiping their diamond studded ass.

I want to have the diamond studded ass.

Hope my life works out.

Another great night of Gluttony with Giant Stomach of the Northeast Vonn and Super Chef who stole the lemon and cream sorbet Jiayi. Once again we had the honour of Jiayi making supper for us ,ahha according to her, none will believe that happened. SO i guess, you all won't believe when i say the food actually rawked! Coming from the paws of a rodent.

It was off to cold storage to buy our ingredients. I kinda swore by the idea that cooking at home would be cheaper than eating outside till I got the bill of $50 from cold storage. Well that's $50 for

Main dish: Nachos,beef and cheese
dips: guacamole and Salsa
Soup: Tom Yam with Prawns and Fish
Dessert: Lemon and cream Sorbet

Pretty expensive? but still think the taste was worth it.

Well at least this time i didn't sleep through the movie.

The company's in trouble, how can I salvage it? Millions of questions running through my mind.

Should I implement a lowering of price so quantity can increase. This should bring about profits.

Although,lower prices and increased in quantity would bring about an increase in profits it would also bring about an increase in cost.

I have to see how much does price affect the consumers. If a slight decrease in price can bring about a greater increase in quantity, profits would be able to cover cost and bring about more profits as compared to having a higher price range.

A fall in price might also spark off a price war.. hmmmm..

Another way is to keep cost as long as possible. Total Rev - Total Cost = $. Low, how low?

This shit is funny, taken from a Dialogue between Prince Charming and Pinocchio

Prince Charming: You. You can't lie. So tell me, puppet, where is Shrek?
Pinocchio: Uh, hmm, well, uh, I don't know where he's not.
Prince Charming: You're telling me you don't know where Shrek is?
Pinocchio: It wouldn’t be inaccurate to assume that I couldn’t exactly not say that it is or isn’t almost partially incorrect.
Prince Charming:- So you do know where he is?
Pinocchio: Oh, on the contrary. I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably...
Prince Charming: Stop it!
Pinocchio: ...do or do not know where he shouldn’t probably be, if that indeed wasn’t where he isn’t. Even if he wasn’t at where I knew he was, that’d mean I’d really have to know where he wasn't.

Out with the guitar boys Elroy and Cong yesterday for RedCliff II. I have to say , it was a fantastic movie. As compared to RedCliffI ? It was just as good. Just that Redcliff I's strategies and ideas were more based on something more concrete, while II's were more based on luck. Questions such as what if it didnt... came to my mind throughout the show.

MOTHER OF ALL MONDAY BLUES

Why the Mother of all Monday blues? Well firstly, it's a Monday. This means the last 2 days were weekends. So why Mother? because before the weekends, it was a frigging long holiday where everyone clears their leave, party like hell on Xmas and NYE! So yes. Mother of all Monday blues. So what made the Mother of all Monday Blues seem like a Grandmother of it, by opening your eyes on Monday morning and realizing you are in the Ops Room as Duty Clerk.

That's the story of Aldric and his Monday.

That aside.

Had "MEET THE ALREO SESSION" on Saturday with the class over at my place and it was pretty ok (will post pictures up soon). If it was a food gathering, i give it 5 stars/5 stars. The food they brought were great

Elroy's unforgettable Potato Salad
Vonn's Microwave chicken wings
Marks spring obscene chickens
Jia Yi's Pasta and her amazing container with handles
Shi Hui's Home grown Guava
Keisha's Mum's Pizza (damn good)
Edith's PORK and chicken Satays
Ian's aa....drinks..
Matthew's air
Dustin's neglected garlic buns
My AWESOME Fries! which were practically swept up by Sempcorp's sweeping truck Jia Yi and Alcohol, which Dustin tried to sweep up.

However, as a class gathering, it was pretty much a fail.

TWOZEROZERONINE

While the rest of you had fireworks, also known as fire flowers, giant sparkles in the sky and "orgasmic hot stuff shit fcuk damn nice BOOM!".Our gang had fire dandelions and sexy flares (i'll explain this weird terms later). Basically it gave us a brand new perspective of a celebration. Everything shrank, the fireworks and the lights but the moods and the atmosphere to usher in the new year stayed strong.

The Fire Dandelions were actual fireworks from Indonesia! It was Elroy who first spotted those little creatures ,blossoming on the other side of the horizon. He shouted fireworks! We then looked up but saw nothing but the black sky. He then signaled forward and there it was, little fireworks blooming against the black background. Sexual indeed.

Then there were the flares. The first one shot up into the sky at 0000 , right after the ships blew their horns. It hovered in the sky gracefully , like a red glowing star. Just when we thought it was the first and the last one, 15 others shot up. The dark new year sky decorated with 15 red "emergency" flares.

The fire holes were great as well, thanks to Elroy's Army skills. He Dug holes and placed candles in them, crazy idea. Looked great though.

The new year was great, ORD next year YEAH ahha finally i can say that. I can't wait to go to NUS. Once again,thanks to the crazy singing of Elroy and Self Onion and the great company, Clara, Justin,Vonn and Lisel? lisool? ha no idea how to spell. New year was fantastic, though we could do better with more liquor ahah.

Birthday Post (kinda late)

Birthday with bao was half great. Why half great? cause the beginning of the celebration was really nothing, we basically walk around and take pictures. Our normal usual self, with a Bak Kut Teh and Zhu Jiao to end the evening. SO there I was sulking and comparing my birthday to hers, a great dinner at Indulgz and all i got was Zhu Jiao.

So then, the GREAT PART . We went to her place and she magically summoned a cake. I was in shock as the cake looked so great and so "NOT BAKED BY YVONNE" QUALITY. It was white and pink (more like her favourite colours eh) smooth white coating, beautifully handmade sugar ribbons and little hearts by the side,not forgetting the black starry candle. I've no idea why i'm describing when there's a freaking picture but yeah, just want to let my ghost readers know how much i liked it.

Next Surprise came. I blew the candle and cut the cake. CUT THE CAKE! CUT THE CAKEE!!!!! yes i couldn't. Even when I was presented a chain saw, I couldn't saw through that cake. Then i realise, there was a metal box inside which contained my present. I was really surprised that she can think of something like that. So instead of cutting, i was given permission to peel my cake open. You did not hear it wrong with your goblin ears, PEEL. So I peeled the "skin" open and there it was my present.
It was a wallet from black book anthropology. The outside was brown and the insides were Yellow.

Just then, when i thought all surprises were over. She came in with a REAL cake. It was an oreo cheese cake and it tasted so good i knew she didn't make it. But she did. haha.

A really fulfilling and surprise filled birthday done by Darly honey bunny Yvonne Tai ! Thanks Bao.!

HA that's what i call MAXIMIZING YOUR LEAVES.

We arrived at Zouk at 2230 and to my ladies night horror, the queue was A380 long. It stretched from the entrance to the bridge.

So we made our way around Rivervally road, exploring the houses and day (or night for this instance) dreaming of staying in one of this luxurious apartments one day.

There was a Ferrari, Lambo and a Nissan GTR moving along the road at one point of time. The sound of the engines? Orgasmic.

RUGBY.DARLY.GLASS HOUSE.POKER.PRATA.

Our 4th hmm or isit the 3rd loss for the season. Pretty disappointing but expected. We have a star studded team but without training together, we are merely lonely hunters, crossing into each others paths.

Our defense were not organized,every time the opposition broke through,no one calls their man and thus causing 3-4 people rushing to "salvage" the situation. All breaking loose from their defense formation to get that guy down. This results in a 3-4man gap in our defense.

CONFIDENTIAL

Sad things aside.

After the game, I and darly flew down to the Glass house for some FISH. There was a live band there and the Acoustic rendition of the songs were great despite being ALITTLE too loud. I've always loved acoustics versions of songs. The meal was great and I had cheek cramps, not due to chewing but due to laughing. We reminisces the old saints times and laughed at Huan Songs "VENUS FOR YOUR PENIS" and Miss Hons reaction towards that statement.

Song then had to leave earlier for home while MATT AND ELROY AND BAO came over the POKER and MJ. Ha MJ was freaking Koala bear relac one corner slow and that got pretty boring, playing fetch with a sloth was less boring. So we changed to Poker, as usual Matthew won. We taught BAO how to play poker, seems like she enjoyed it haha Poker just pwns MJ. I just feel there's more adrenaline and skills involved.

The World is in chaos. The Mumbai Incident, the on going Thailand Protest and the financial crisis. It's going crazy but again I am sure humans will prevail. It's very saddening that a Singaporean was killed in the Mumbai incident. It's not that we are selfish and do not feel sadden for the other deaths but due to our small and close knit community, a sadness of lost of a fellow Singaporean will always be felt more deeply. At this point of time, you'd really wish for world peace.

Just finished the design on the Brigade Anniversary Programme Booklet. Yes I know, not the best work but for 1 off day and being a non professional, how nice can it be? The pictures are below.

Had a great meet up on Friday with Elroy at Grape Vine, great catch up session. His Taiwan Story telling was just as good as the fries at Grape Vine.

A Downward Spiral

I realize the photos I take are getting uglier.

I'm losing the flair/flare for Rugby. I still remember what was going through my head when I tackled in the past,"_____". Yes, nothing, there was no fear nor anticipation of pain, just pure adrenaline hits. However, almost 9months after my shoulder operation, I tackled again for Safsa and this time, what went through my head was "shit, he's coming for my left shoulder" and I merely grabbed him, no hit no impact, all crap. This could be the reason why I was taken off the team at the last minute,I don't know but I do care.

My CAT exams are coming, the second exam for my Diploma but hell yea I'm lost. What I'm afraid is that these papers are all linked, if i can't grasp the basic well, I'll die during intermediate. I feel very lost for my accounting paper and it doesn't make things better when I have no friends in school or my teacher not replying my questions on email.

Grandma.

It was the 2nd week of the month, the 9th of Nov 2008,Sunday. Everything started normally, the haircut, the shopping ,till the phone call came. I picked up the phone, hearing my dad stuttering,telling me something happened to my grandma and the ambulance is on their way. I told my mum and my sister, but they thought it was just another one of my grandma's sickness acting up again.However, i knew this was different, I knew something was wrong, I called Darly and told her I was worried. Then another call came, my grand ma passed away.

Tears rolled down my mothers cheeks and packed our things and rushed to my grandma's place,Orange Grove road. We went into the lift and into her house then her room and there she was lying motionless on her bed. I couldn't help but cry when I remember promising her that I will come over when I graduate from university to have my photo taken with her. My grandpa sat in his chair next to her body, he told my dad in Cantonese that he wants to see her. We carried him out of his chair and he moved over bit by bit, slowly but surely. He looked over and cried, his companion for 60yrs was now gone.

The doctors came and so did the police, certified. My auntie took a flight back from bangkok,while my cousin who was studying in India flew back immediately. My auntie did not tell my other cousin (who grew up with my grandma and is in USA) about her death for he had exams the following week .My grandma passed away peacefully, according to the maids who were feeding her, she laid back closed her eyes and went on her way.

On the day of the wake, my grandpa came along, we lifted him up onto the coffin and he burst out crying once again...the day of her cremation, the whole family knelt down, my grandma was well respected and loved by many. Known to be stern but a loving mum and grandma. I love my grandma and i am sure she will live in our hearts forever.

Alright this would be a private cum public blog, some of the post would be password protected to ensure I survive army without going to DB and not look too gay to be Aldric *At this point, Jiayi should comment something and as usual, I would say you monkey!, so don't try TJY aka Tong Jia Yi aka Hamster in the outbacks who left her Halloween costume on till NOW*

My grandmother passed away on Sunday, exactly a week ago. This whole week has been really hectic, waking up at 7am for the wake and reaching home at 12am daily. Neglecting Bao a little but she understands.

Digress.

It's pretty interesting how race is actually a factor for a prime minister. PM Lee commented that we would not have a non-Chinese PM anytime soon. Then again, shouldn't we choose a prime minister by considering his capabilities and leadership skills? Would his race affect the way he rule the country? hmmm..
