凤飞飞

Ok ok... I'm old... I like to listen to 凤飞飞 and even wen to her concert just now... BUT my brother and sister also went with me together with my parents, so who's old?! hahaha

The concert was fantastic!! It was way way way much better then the other one we watch earlier this year... Her 台风 and stage presence was excellent! I will watch her again when she comes to Singapore again...

What was lacking in the concert is the very very lousy Singaporean audience... They werealllike dead fishes who can't clap their flippers... If not for the taiwanese fan club, i think this concert will be dead even though what's on the stage was world class...

Haoyang's Solemnisation

Went to VJC for Haoyang's soleminsation... Its the place they met, so its very special for both of them...
Haoyang is FINALLY Married!!
Congratulations!! My best wishes.

Huaqing's Wedding on Christmas day

Attended Huaqing's wedding on Christmas Day...
Haven seen them for ages!
Its nice to catch up with them again...



*Hey guys!! When is our mahjong session?!

Misunderstanding

Initially was a very simple 'How are u?' sms, spiralled outta control...

It was all a misunderstanding...

Seriously, I am not pissed or anything if what I perceived is true. And also seriously I am not offended or anything...

But I have to apologise for all the misunderstanding caused...

*Its just me and no one else... So all is just a misunderstanding...

Christmas gathering on 20/12/08

Just had a Christmas gathering with my NTUCO friends on the 20th... It was a small and cosy potluck gathering... Had lasagna, chicken rice, potato salad, Kong Ba Bao...
Had an unusual gift exchange...

Then me, zx, sn, sy and zy went to watch 'Yes Man' before hitting off to bed at around 530am...

Overall, its a comfortable event...

家谱

As u all know, I just came back from China... For these 9 days, we went to 厦门，潮州，汕头 and 海南岛. For the last few days, we stayed at 海南岛 where my relatives are. These relatives are actually my cousins 堂哥，堂姐, nephews and even a grandson (my cousin's grandson)... So actually they are quite close to me...

My 堂哥 gave me our 家谱. In case u dunno, this 家谱 is a poem which help us differentiate our generation. Because one generation after the next will adopt the next word in the poem. I shall post my 家谱 up here.

积箕硕文
善裘德明
有恒家崇
馀济基圣
庆美石道

The poem is to be read from right to left, top to bottom.
For my generation, its 明(they unified all 罗 clan, so therefore my 长 has being changed to 明)... My son will be 崇... So his name will be 罗崇_, his son will be 罗圣_, so on and so forth...

There is another poem after this one...

宗兰英智
风桂才勇
世竞国冠
代腾栋南
扬芳梁邦

These 2 peoms will be enough to last for a few hundreds of years... I think I will bw long dead before they reached 道 of the first poem...

My roots...

Interesting eh...

BACK!!

Yes people!!

I AM BACK!!!

After a very tiring 9 days of vacation in China (yah yah again!), I've finally touched down in Singapore... Home sweet home... Nothing smells better than my smelly bed... haha...

Tons of stuff to settle...

Will upload the pics when my sis is done with it... ha...

*Another 2 inches to my already big waist... sigh...

A few updates

A few updates on the few photos I have on my phone. Shall post them up. Its being quite a long time since the last update. But nobody reads this blog anyway, so its ok to post them late ba. Post for fun only.

Halloween

Went with PW, Ray and Susan to Villa Bali for dinner during Halloween night. It was a nice place which serves quite good Northern Indian and Thai food. After that we went to Dempsey's Ben and Jerry's for our dessert where coincidentally bumped into Yvonne and her boyfriend who was dressed like the killer in the movie "Scream".




Studies

Then the next day I have to go for my lessons at SIM. OMG!!! How glad I am to have taken F Maths before during my JC days. Its all statistics!! I hate stats! Sigh... No choice lah... Have to REALLY revise liao lor...




Sizzler
Got a coupon for sizzler. 4th person eat for free. So me jioed PQ, YK and Don for dinner together. It was a nice evening where we chatted from 8 until the restaurant closed. Wanted to go for 永和豆浆 at Geylang but could not find the place. Instead we went 'night safari-ing' along the roads. Ha ha.

Metta BBQ

Just came back from a BBQ at Metta School... It was fun meeting the kids again... They are so innocent... I feel out of the world with them...

I must really apologise to Yancy, because I was supposed to find the BBQ thing but I didnt... She ended up doing everything... i promise to do a good outing next...

Hort park with family

2 weeks ago, me and me family went for a walk at the southern ridges. We started from hort park reached henderson waves bridge then back to hort park... Around 5km...

Here are some pictures... 99% of the pics were taken by my sis...

Soya Bean Milk Powder

Something I've discovered last weekend...

Due to my extremely low tolerance in lactose, I grew up drinking Soya Bean Milk Powder when I was an infant...

Interesting eh...

Weird

Feeling kinda weird lately...
Look at the time... Its 215am in the morning and I am still awake...

I dunno how to describe wat I am feeling now... Just weird...
I am not having insomnia or wat... Nothing is in my head now...
Weird...

Just opened another blog... And I made it private so that I can REALLY pin down my thoughts and plans...

To write it down yeah? In case I die, other people will noe what I am thinking...

Chalet 2008

Photos from chalet 2008 with my hall 14 dudes and babe. Celebrated birthday for Edwin and Don.

Simple matter

Sometimes a very simple thing can really make my day... Received an sms today and it really made my day... Its just a simple sms and yet its heart warming... Dun think this person knew it though, but thanks!

I think we are old

Was at the chalet last weekend...
Our initial plan was to play mahjong the whole night thru, but we managed to play only 1 round in the afternoon and we stopped since... I din feel like playing...

Neither did we go for KTV... For both nights, all of us slept at 1-2am latest...

I used to play or chat during chalets until morning, but last weekend I cannot...

Think I am old liao... haha

Chalet

Today me, pq, yk, zq and don are going to spent 2 nights at the chalet... I am now using ZQ's laptop to blog... I used his webcam to take a picture... looking forward to a weekend of ktv, mahjong and bbq...

Great Eastern Final Sprint

Today me went to our company's final sprint conference... Its an event that 'motivates' us... 3 more months to end of year 3 more months to the goal of South Africa...


Our group CEO, Mr Tan Beng Lee, who is going to retire end of this year.

Photography interest rekindled

Thanks to my sis, who kept pestering me to get a DSLR so that she can take pictures when we go to Turkey the end of the year, the photography interest which was asleep in me for eons has finally rekindled.

When I was young, my father bought a SLR because I like to take pictures. But due to the weight and laziness, I gave up months after. Then here comes IA period, where I met Eugene, SZ and Jane who are fanatics in photography, I slowly pick it up again. But still I hate the weight of my lao kok kok camera, so I use a prosumer camera instead. After the canon prosumer camera died on me, I do not own a camera anymore.

On the other hand, my sis loves to take pictures wherever she goes. And I have t admit that she does take good pictures. If you go to her blog, you will see tons of pictures by her. So she wanted to get a DSLR.

To be frank, she knows nothing about taking a good picture, the technical parts that is, she managed to take good pictures.

So after a bit of pestering from her, I decided to look up for a bit of infomation about cameras and photography. And the fire in me lit up, even though its a very very small match fire now. haha...

Who knows, maybe I will get a DSLR and take award winning pictures in future... haha

*Just a thought

???

Last Sat me and my friends went to Kallang Leisure Park... After that when I went to the Kallang MRT station, I was surprised by the amount of people there... Its only then I realised that the pick up point for the F1 race is near Kallang, so there is an abnormal amount of people in and out of the station... This is not the point, the point is the service I've witnessed there...

When me and my friends went thru the gantry into the station, we noticed a woman trying to go thru the gantry... She was tapping the card at the wrong gantry with the "X"... She was trying and trying for ages, so in the end we decided to help the woman... And the problem was solved by adding an extra 20 cents cos she did not pay the full amount when she bought the card...

What I was pissed off is that, the station control staff were chatting all the way in their comfortable air-con room... I thought their job is to 'control' the station and yet there is a helpless woman no knowing what to do...

Due to the circumstances, there are a few policemen standing guard... Then apparently, there was one standing at the gantry witnessing the turmoil the woman went thru without at least helping her to get the attention of the staff... I dun think there will be a riot if he was to stand away for a few seconds right???
