De one with Some of my Favourite Things

"When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad"

Find these lyrics familiar? Yup, they are adopted from "My favourite Things" sung by original singer, Julie Andrews in musical film "The Sound of Music, 1965". I fell in love with the film when I was 9 -10 years old. Back then, apart from the opening credits song "The Sound of Music", I fell more for the song "Sixteen going on Seventeen" played in the film.

Not sad actually. Just sharing a couple of my favourite things (which includes my favourite things, places, food, atmosphere).

Let Jason start with the tangibles! First on the list *Drumroll*.. X-men. It was, it is and it will still be include on my list of favourite thing and deeply imprinted in the depths of my heart which stirs an ever-burning interest. Was totally hooked the first time I saw the animated series.. particularly, the Phoenix saga.. well, simply because it involved almost every X-men. A few recent years back, the X-men trilogy took the box-office by storm. I tell you, it was wonderful to see the cartoon personifying. Well, interest everyone except Mohan, who fell asleep while watching the final instalment of the trilogy. Omg. He never like impractical things la.. come to think of it, I feel abit bad for asking him along to view what he'd most probably condemned to be "not-worth-watching movie".

Second, *applause* Jay Chou songs. Not just my favourite thing. An elixir of life to be exact. Personally deemed of course. Listen to his songs, you'll feel better. Nope, JVR never pay me advertisement fee to prmote this eh.

Thirdly, favourite thing.. *cans knocking* drawings in my sketchbooks. These are precious collections of my inspiration during army and leisure time. I couldn't help admiting I had a few sketch books before this which is still safe in my keeping. The rest were stuff at home or who knows no where to be found. Those contained a sketch of myself, with reference to a photo of course. Except Jimson, whom I drew a life portrait. Darnit.. where did i left those stuff? There were a few other pieces I drew and gave to people. My office's window panels for example. I gave A twice, a sketch of us and a heart. Silly folly.

Fourth, *girls whining* I have a soft spot for cuddle toys. Like my bedside chip and dale pushies. I like Sashi bears and Tatty bear. None other than that.

Fifth, *ceremonial trumpets' fanfare* favourite dinner places. You guys and gals must listen up since I hardly eat much, surprise I have selected favourite dinner places right? That would be Swensons at Changi Airport (every year I must have a "firehouse" at any Swensons); Ikea restaurant and "glasshouse" Fish & Co. I just.. love the atmosphere. Nothing special or glam like hotel buffets. It's just my finest personal selections.

Sixth, *cheering* speaking of favourite dinning places I can't go without mentioning my favourite food. What? Yesh, I hear some faint-thoughts.. Absolutely right! Fish and Chips! Erm.. sorry to disappoint no gift for correct answers ley.. Cheese cakes, hotplate dishes.. bring it up.

Seventh, *paint spluttering*..Blue's my favourite color. But sometimes, I'm intrigued by the mesmerizing rainbow. Oopsey demsey. Don't worry, Blue. For I will remain faithful to you forever. Ok, crap. *No.. I said no throwing of trash at me..and don't you dare close this window.*

*RPG game level-up music* Moving favourite feelings, let's see.. Ichi, I love the burning sensation on my skin surface during sun-bathing. Love it even more when I'm radiating tan-complexion. Ni, the cooling feeling after having ran a long journey.

San, I love the accompany of friends, who enjoys just as much going out with me, shopping, watching movie, talking to me.*So, all my "limited-edition" friends out there, kindly call me to acknowledge if you really care about it after reading this blog*

Shi, I love chilling out at Starbucks, chatting and drinking ice-passion tea or caramel-mocha frap!! "Caramel is sweet, the mocha is bitter. That's why it is caramel mocha. It's like life, love in particular". In the past, I was paranoid if I never have an Ugly chicken puff during my every Starbucks visit. Else, it would mean bad luck. Haha..wonder where such baseless superstitious beliefs came from.. No more lucky charm food.. I just love the tuna petite now!

Go, I love waking to a morning, hearing the breeze tingling the windchimes, the sound of water from the pool, breathing citrus and scent of flora and fauna. More desirable to be greeted with a cuddling hug and kissed on the forehead (cheeks will kena pimples), with greeting aroma of big breakfast and orange juice..yummy..

Roku, I'd love the sight of a wardrobe room, exhibitioning my collection of clothes, accessories, facial products, slippers, footwear and my very own colognes bar-top cabinet. AHAha.

Nana, unforgettable feeling to do something nice to people, my family member.. Nothing's more gratifying to see their smile, acknowledgement and happiness over the little things I do for them.

Well...looks like I've mentioned quite alot. Yup, that's all I can think of. Anyway, it's supposed to be SOME of my favourite things..not all eh..

De one with Dumb Himbo

Clueless

How how? I'm becoming more and more of a dumb..er.. himbo (He Is Malicously Brainless and Obnoxious)? Ok, let's not panic. Let's just..calm down and figure out a resolution.

Although I'm not very good at studying. I'm ok with phrasing report. Use my brain for making efficient use of my observations and plan with my wits to deal with any impromptu situations. I figure out accounting issues, paint images of complex scenarios in my mind. Ok, I'm not that dumb afterall.

For now, I need to finish my job and just...mug all the way till exams. Ok, that's what I'm gonna do. I need encouragement hor.

Arhh... nowadays I've been anyhow only. Rebecca raised so many things I ought to have picked up but I just couldn't recall or it didn't occur to me that I ought to have noticed. Dumb dumb dumb. Oh well.. I just have to norish my brain cells with knowledge.
