the pig's friday

celebrated alicia's farewell yest evening... dinner was buffet at ellenborough market cafe ( i din eat much but had loads of the durian puree dessert =p) and it was off to velvet/phuture =) it's was fun and laughter all nite long - a perfect friday nite out where we all of us were comfortable with each other and could let loose with all our crap talk...

alicia, anc, ny, justin and me reached velvet 1st and it was lucky anc had his citibank card with him so all of us got free entry by just completing a citibank online mailing list :) ... we had a round of 'nothing' shooters *sniggers* whilst waiting for the rest to arrive... citi had a 1 for 4 promotion!

kel, wil, fiona, kw, wq came soon after and we realised that they had to pay for entry =p, apparently the priority queue for citi was not available and the free entry promo closed for the day.

after rounds of drinks (i had nearly a full jug of gin tonic to myself as they rest felt it was bitter hee hee, they preferred the whisky coke light/green tea), we proceeded to phuture but we stopped by the hot dog station located outside velvet cos most of us felt hungry and also wanted to ease the effects of the alcohol. so a few of us, including me :), ordered the dogs

it was absolutely yummy cos they used bratwurst sausages and it was equivalent to cafe standards! $5.50 was a resonable price to pay if you compare it to the dogs sold at the cinemas...

after clubbing we headed to geylang for dim sum before we called it a day at 4am =)

take care, alicia, guess it will be a while before we do this again but i'm sure we will always be able to banter when we meet =)

chupa chups!

aaarrggghhh

just give me forrest gump anytime! seriously, if i con't to deal with doofus pple, i most prob will resemble a luohan fish in no time - from the daily banging of my head against the walls!!!

weary

we go through life each day hoping further down the road there will be something better that we will experience, so we dream of the future we want, the future that we look forward to keeps us going each day, but what happens when you realise that the future may never come and just be like the days that you are going through now where everything is mundane and routined?

what happens then?

that's where you lose your spirit and will to live weakens day by day till the only future you look forward to is sleeping peacefully and never to wake up from the beautiful memories and dreams you once had.

new to the pig's stash of watches :p

airport shots

a postcard shot in mind :) deliberate attempt to blur the image =p

dragon taught me to get this shot while he was having a light at the carpark before heading home :)

the lamp at our table in sukhothai

the tampopo gathering

one of the few desserts we shared except xj whom later both sf and me accompanied him to medi-ya to look for ice cream. din get any as the ice cream stall was closed for the day but we hung ard the supermarket for a while and shared a few laughs before heading back to tampopo to join the rest =)

uniformity

chatting and joking before we all headed home for the day :)

WZ and me... damn i look tired =( the glass reflects the images of lisa and jo :) ngian chao and NY were there too. we were at this small ramen place loosely translated as big fire mountain heh

gather that this would look good as a wallpaper or postcard :) took this while dragon was ordering his fave rendang burger for take-away =)

pick-me-up cupcakes which was bought from the airport =)

why i may love the rain =)

of friends i love...

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."

Henri Nouwen

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You, too? Thought I was the only one."

C.S. Lewis

when a friend disappoints

It's what you did, unthinking, that makes the frustration start;

The emotion may be forgotten -- but the disappointment stays in the heart.

to where u are

on this episode of ally mcbeal, this josh groban song was a tribute to the lives lost on 9/11...
watching this video still brings tears...

what living means

“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”

rants

there are some who have such looks of hostility that they make turd better to look at.

i'm usually casper the friendly ghost when it comes to frontline service staff but if their actions or tone comes across as offending or hostile, barely 2 seconds after contact i would retaliate by returning the favour in kind.

if you are not able to contain your emotions or prejudices and cannot be tactful, just dont work in the service line cos you are definitely not qualified to do so.

for the hostile cheena otak kambing bodoh perempuan who works in the snow dessert stall, working in land mine areas would definitely be more deserving for her than those who have no choice. kurang hajah mia perempuan, meng chye see!

my fave jellicle cat

You ought to ask Mr. Mistoffelees
The original Conjuring Cat
The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mr. Mistoffelees's conjuring turn

Presto!

And you'll all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

He is quiet and small
He is black
From the ears to the tip of his tail
He can creep through the tiniest crack
He can walk on the narrowest rail

He can pick any card from a pack
He is equally cunning with dice
He is always decieving you into believing
That he's only hunting for mice

He can play any trick with a cork
Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste
If you look for a knife or a fork
And you think it was merely misplaced

You have seen it one moment, and then it is gone!
But you find it next week lying out on the lawn!

And we all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

His manner is vague and aloof
You would think there was nobody shyer
But his voice has been heard on the roof
When he was curled up by the fire

And he's sometimes been heard by the fire
When he was about on the roof
(At least we all heard that somebody purred)
Which is uncontestable proof

Of his singular magical powers
And I've known the family to call
Him in from the garden for hours
When he was asleep in the hall

And not long ago this phenomenal cat
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat!

And we all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Ladies and gentlemen
I give you the marvelous
Magical Mr. Mistoffelees!

Presto!
