One month away from blogging


There's plenty to write ... but I donno whether
I have the inspiration to write ... so let's
see how long this will be


It's a Sat afternoon & I'm down with a bit of flu.
my Tokyo trip is coming Monday
so the flu has arrived at
a bad time


din really plan much for the trip ...
but of late I'm getting
excited


Tokyo should be an exciting
city ... more HYPER than
Hongkong & I love Hongkong
big time


I love big city ... love the
buzzing city life ... but
I won't live in one


CITY life is a good a place
to work and play but
not to live... tt for sure


Since 2004, I had cut down on my
overseas travel ... the last time I travelled
was in 2005 to HK/Beijing ...


my budget for this trip ... ard $3k


I guess the rich must have love Tokyo ...
on paper everything seem so
HAPPENING !!! fine dining,
beautiful landscape & exciting
street scenes


I wonder how clubbing there will be like
... should be super fun ... I will find out
for myself ...

had been working on my run since early May.
Asics Gel Kayano is the best
running shoes I ever had ... so far my
old injury hasn't resurface


I'm feeling quite confident abt the shoes ...
and I'm trying to run faster n faster
& trimming my 2.4km timing down ...
the last one was 10:33 ...


running @ a faster speed gives me a buzz ...
previously I wasn't able to do so
becuz of injury ... now I'm glad
to say I'm BACK !!!


by the end of the year, I will take
part in the half marathon with
Sinwah ... cheehong is also keen ...

I had a bet with Phoenix: if I
am illness-free till mid-Sep
I am entitle to a reward (wat reward?? SECRET!)
... but now it seems like I'm going to lose
it ... the punishment is
dreadful ...


haiz ... a tad disappointed with my body ...
it has not been performing well


anyway, I went to see my Doc yst ...
the main aim: To get
medicine for my hair loss


YES!!! HAIR LOSS!!! my hair has been
retreating so I reckon I shld see
the doc before it gets worst ...


the medication is not cheap ... but
no choice... I don want to be
BALD-HEADED ...


It just doesn't look healthy ...
anyway I'm not worry now
tt I had taken the first step ...
my hair condition shld be
on the road to RECOVERY

Good News #1: I FINALLY got my
driving license !!!


phew !!! finally ...


in March ... the driving exam was disastrous
I got 38 points then ...


before the exam, I was driving
quite inconsistently ...
sort of fed up with
the marking scheme ...


that Sat before the test was my first
time my driving instructor passed
me on his trial test


No one is as strict as my driving
instructor ... but he has
been patient with me
all this while


it took a while for me to get
the feel of driving ... I'm not
a bad driving ... but if
I don have a feel for sth ... I just
dun deliver ... it's as SIMPLE


the eve of the exam ... I watched
"Blades of glory" ... haha... funny
show ... in a strange way ...it's
inspiring


if i told u, it inspires me to pass
the driving exam do u believe it? haha


anyway shd catch it on dvd
if u hasn't


the day of the exam I reported late
for the practise session so my
trainer din took me out to the
road ... we practised in circuit


& he said one thing "if u drive like
that during the exam, u
DEFINITELY can pass"


tt was sort of a morale-booster ...
all along I nvr thot I deserved the 38 pts
the other time ... n I nvr
thot I'm a lousy driver ... but
my instructor has nvr heaped
praise ... so it was nice
to hear tt


in the end, I PASS ...
after close to a year, finally I got
my license!!!


uncle gg to teach me how to park in
his pickup so I'm looking
forward to tt


buying for a car shd b sth
in the far away future


it's not economical to own a car
in Singapore ... so I shall
wait

#Good News2: Boss told me
he going to top-up my allowance for the next
half a year.


The trade-off: An additional hour of work
everyday


It's not a bad deal ... Not at all ... after
all, I need to work late on days
anyway


so the top-up will virtually pay
for my JAPAN trip ...

finally heard Sammi's new song
on radio


it feels so strange to hear
her voice again


a great song ... more for girls ...
but luv the song n the
lyrics ...


here it goes:

整个城市好喧哗
谁肯停下来听听女人说话
爱与被爱都慌
信和不信都傻
不就是疯狂换一场牵挂
心里有个男人始终看不懂的世界

只凭着内里的直觉确定着只要爱向谁
女人们啊别再和感觉冷战
是是非非别退缩爱的勇敢
只要见识过哪怕最后的结果遗憾
也不怕也不管拥抱时心跳多么的乱

就算恋情多么短暂
回忆也有存进去脑海保管
记得住曾经温暖
如果还剩一点伤感
时间会冲淡

这个城市好孤单每个女人全都在学着习惯
得到时有负担失去后会心寒
眺望着爱情两眼欲穿
女人们啊别再和感觉冷战
是是非非别退缩爱的勇敢
只要见识过哪怕最后的结果遗憾
也不怕也不管拥抱时心跳多么的乱

就算恋情多么短暂
回忆也有存进去脑海保管
记得住曾经温暖
如果还剩一点伤感
时间会冲淡

当爱不再回来的夜晚
她们说眼泪总会流干
当突然想起某个片段
她们说放下让它经过别回头看

女人们啊别再向理智挑战
对对错错管它们到处流传
真实已刺破
哪怕往事会让人心酸
也不怕也不管想爱的过程危险狂乱
就算幸福再短暂
回忆也要放进去脑海保暖
如果爱情注定很难
别让自己疲惫不堪珍惜每一段


the most memorable line of the song has to be this:
"也不怕也不管拥抱时心跳多么的乱"


it has been a long wait ... but luckily
it wasn't a disappointment... the only
disappointment has to be tt
it was only a single


陈亦讯 also releases his new album.
FANTASTIC stuff. His voice is
still so authentic ...


Another song I heard on the radio of late ...
never heard of the singer but
the song just makes one
feel so optimistic ... the kind of
song u want to hear on
a bright Saturday morning


excerpt of the lyrics goes like this:

想飞上天和太阳肩并肩
世界等着我去改变
想做的梦从不怕别人看见
在这里我都能实现
大声欢笑让你我肩并肩
何处不能欢乐无限
抛开烦恼勇敢的大步向前
我就站在舞台中间
我相信我就是我
我相信明天
我相信青春没有地平线
在日落的海边
在热闹的大街都是我心中最美的乐园
我相信自由自在
我相信希望
我相信伸手就能碰到天
有你在我身边
让生活更新鲜
每一刻都精采万分


went for karaoke with Vincent
in late May... his singing is
gud ...

at first i wondered whether
we will bore after a while ...
but we sing all the way till
11pm ...
