Sunny..finally
Do you like chocolates? Bet alot of us do, especially majority of female population. Hey, not trying to be sexist here. However, I guess it's true? Because females tend to have sweet tooth? Hehe.
Personally, I don't really like chocolates ... now. However, such edible objects containing milk and cocoa, some costing hundreds in price, holds certain significance to me: Chocolates is a gift to express love. On the other hand, one of the perfect (for me, the CORE) medicine to cure Depression and heart-broken.
Set the ellaboration aside. Let's talk about how "ruthless" chocolate "ruled" a part of our childhood... hey..wait a minute, it's my blog! Oki, correction! My childhood!
To much as I recall, I think my first sensible taste of chocolate was Pokki biscuit. Don't really know what's the actual brand. But remember those red cylindrical packaging which you open the seal on top and you dip the long biscuit into this chocolate portion? It's every child's version of heavenly Fondue! I tell you.
Next is Nutela chocolate spread. Hah! Sounds familiar? Yes, it's simply irresitable to have it generously spread over bread. Plain bread just don't taste as unappealing anymore!
Of course, not forgetting the most prominent Ferrero Roche'. These nuts coated "luring" balls are delicious. It's even satisfyingly savouring when you bit into the crunchiness of the toffle inside before tasting yet another layer of rich aromatic chocolate. This long establish brand have never failed making your heart weak with yearning. Awww... Wait! Other mega old time favourites.. "Have a break.. have a KITKAT!" and "M&Ms: Melts in your mouth, not in your hand".
Others? Remember small players like Milo nuggets and Timeout.
As I've grown, perhaps it's due to me wanting to lose weight or the "healthy living" consciousness, my taste bud lost it's liking for chocolates. Fortunately, the "sweetness" of chocolate didn't ceased to exist. Adolescence revealed that chocolate wasn't only sweet-tasting in the mouth but effusive within the heart.
All thanks to the emergence of Merci chocolates, the advertisment and recognisable theme influenced the idea greatly, that chocolates is a way of saying Thank you. For me lah. Ever since, with the realisation that our pocket money is sufficient for the purchase of chocolates, chocolates became a symbol of gifts for feelings expression.
Well, what can I say, it never fails to melts the other party's heart and put a smile on faces. A box of chocolates from me became a gift of genuine love (loveship, kinship and friendship) ever since.
Like Romeo said "Love is tender sweet and a bitter choking gall". During the mid 1990s there was a research propagating that chocolates contained a substances that aids in lifting the moods of human beings. It didn't take me till early 2000's to justified this amazing yet relieving truth.
There's no other better self-help remedy than chocolates for someone who's heartbroken and feeling sad.
Wuao.. what a chocolatey blog! Before I leave, here's something I've remonified:
A chocolate a day keeps the sadness away.

De one with The Curse Of The Golden Flower
Heavy rain day
Early morning my plans for jog was ruined by the heavy rain. Well, an irony. What a good weather to laze in bed. Yet, undesirable for plans which have been made earlier for better use.
For ages, I've wondered why time in the late morning pass by so quickly. Before I knew it, it was afternoon and I had to get prepared to meet Chin Yu.
All thanks to the downpour, I end up buying a new umbrella from Espirit at Plaza Singapura as I forgotten to bring one from home. Chin Yu brought an umbrella. Unfortunately, his was 'barely' enough for himself. Hah. I needed one badly to shelter me from PS to The Cathay. Thus, I decided to buy one Khaki-coloured which I was satisfied with (cost me $21.90, thank god Espirit was having 10% sales). This was the labour of having searched the entire PS for stores in which umbrellas were available. Omg. Giodano and HangTen sells them. Disappointingly, the colours were not to my likely.
We arrived late at the Cathay. By the time we settled down, the Curse of the Golden Flower was already showing for what I think, approximately 10 minutes ago. Before watching this epic movie, hearsay it's reviewed to be pretty lousy. Against all odds, I watched it anyway. Majorly because it's my idol's second film (in which he's in the main cast).
I'm not going to say much about the story this time. However, I've got to say I've realised Jay Chou's dialogue were all pretty short. And the way he spoke still reflected a tone of "shyness". However, his fighting scenes were superb! I'm amazed. All in all, he played the only good and highly fillial "Prince Jie" in the movie.
There were scenes in which Gong Li, who played the empress, beared some resemblance to Hatsumono in Memoirs of Geisha. Hmmm.. looks like nowadays directors are increasingly having women who are ruthless. Oops! First. Memoirs of Geisha..then Ziyi Zhang in Banquet..now this..
As usual, Zhou Yun Fat's fiercely fantastic in his Emperor role. Love the scene in the end where he sort of throw back his golden robe and that scene where his long hair scatter loose after he slapped his youngest son. There was really something in his gaze throughout the entire show.
Well, what can I say.. the movie's a tragedy. It was a collection of love, incest relationship, adultery, undying fillial piety, breaking out of shameful secrets, treachery. Personally, I felt the story itself outweighted the fighting effects (something's new: Rope and sickles, and Grand Sabre) and the worth-mentioning elaborated costumes (shimmering with gold and silver).
The rain continued even as we went to town to have Pepper Lunch for dinner. (Hah! pepper "Lunch" for "Dinner": Resturant's name ironical to purpose) and went walking around. I finally got the chance to browse and taste Japanese "man tou". Yipee!! Shokoi Ne!
I don't know why in my mind I kept thinking that Chin Yu needs to go home early. Haha. Apparantly, it's rainning so he didn't have to rush home to get prepared for his roller hockey (which is cancelled).
The rain... the unwanted obligation to buy a new umbrella... Jay Chou and the Curse of the Golden Flower... Pepper lunch... Japanese "man tou"... A couldn't have been better day ;P

De one with Gang Xmas-outing
Light rain...wet payments
It didn't rain as heavy within expectation. We had a situation meeting up yesterday. The last person, who was joining us for this year's Xmas dinner, only arrived one hour late. Worst thing, we couldn't decide by then exactly where to dine. Initially, we wanted to fix ourselves with N.Y.D.C. Then again, that plan was scribbed to Sakae. But then, our "Mr Cinderalla" couldn't eat raw seafood. Hence, we landed ourselves with dinner buffet at Siam Kitchen.
The service wasn't really good. They practised their bussiness gimmicks on us. Though it's buffet and it states "eat all you can". The re-order could only come in "rounds" and only after each "round" have been fully served. Thankfully, I'm easy with food. However, deep down, the rest of us were actually thought Sakae was better.
I made a sacrifice. They ended up ordering too much on the third (and last) round. I had to fill up some extra space in my filled stomach. After that, Weili and Clara joined us. By the time we finished Xmas dinner 2006, it was already 10pm.
An unexpected accident occured. Loo Wan discovered he lost $100 form his pocket. The "dark mist of cloud" shouldered around him as we dragged ourselves, partly aimlessly, towards The Rooftop at The Esplanade. The view of the CBD buildings, all dazzling lighted, was spendid. The atmosphere was quiet all because what was supposed for sweet and whispering couples all "littered" around.
We finally found a spot to settle before Weili was kinda "cramped" since it was late and her caring boyfriend was here to pick her home. It didn't take awhile before we were rushing to commence our "glamour specialty" of this year's Xmas gathering: Gift Exchange.
Budget was between $7 - 10 bucks. Of course, exceeded budgets are welcomed (well, mine did exceeded the budget lah. Bought a box of Belgium Chocolates from Candy Empire). There were nine of us (our OCT couldn't make it). In the end, there were two pairs of us who actually exchanged opposite's parties' gifts directly. Jessamine had Clara's and Clara had Jessamine's. I had Loo Wan's and Loo Wan had mine. Haha.
Ooh.. Loo Wan's gift was a nice wrapped snowman wrapper which a fan he took effort to make. Within it, contained an adorable orange Elmo mug (which Loo Wan keep insisting it was better looking than the mug they got for me during my birthday).
:: Thanks Loo Wan!!
Jielong's was a beautiful and elegant calendar with notebook. Ivan bought Ferrero Roche. Kok Sin got a glittering Crystal bear figurine. Weili bought body soap with something and Gek Kiah got those hanging bags from IKEA. Apologies. Not sure about Clara's and Jessamine.
Xmas '06 outing was short but fantastic. It was even more interested, the gang actually followed the dress code (suggested by me) of White Christmas when everybody wore something white! Hehe... To end it all, my close friend bestowed me an unexpected gifts too.
:: Thanks alot Clara. And all those (Joseph, Gek Kiah, Janice, Teacher Lorna, etc) who sent me lovely greeting cards!
Today, I didn't really do much. Went on our Toa Payoh for an evening's movie: Night At the Musuem. Hilarious show. Something beyond imagination lik Jimanji typed of show. "Some people are born great. Others have greatness given upon them".
2 more days to Christmas!

De one with Her 51st Birthday
Rain in the day, the sky and the heart
17th December 2006. Yesterday. It marked a significant day as it's her 51st birthday. Supposed to be calling for celebration however the main character ain't present.
The rain stopped when I went out around 3+ in the afternoon. But not for long, the drizzling started to appear. Staining the white rose in my hand with moisture. The cold air.. the grey clouds.. screaming silence... all setting as though conjured to form a depressing atmosphere. As I made my way in the drizzle to Mandai Columbarium.
For a very long time, I sang happy birthday to my mummy upfront. It's a pity, I've had not the courage to sing this to her when she was alive. As usual, spent some time before leaving.
Thinking back, we've not been celebration mummy's birthday. I recalled when I was young. When we would laze around at home on a cloudy Saturday. There was once, she was complaining as she did her normal household chores despite it was her birthday, she wasn't spared of any rest. Thinking back, she never celebrated her birthdays. Only mine and Jimson's. It was really embarrassing we never did for her in return.
Today was different. Instead of many stalks of roses, I only brought one. A fully bloomed one.
Instead of having all-black attired, I only put on a black top. Nevertheless, it's her birthday. My late-mummy's 51st birthday.
:: Happy Birthday Mummy. Forever loved in my heart.

De one with Am I Who I Am Really
Raining all day
Yesterday was the first time in this year I've ever organised an outing for the gang. Not so bad.. out of 10, 7 turned up. The rest really had individual valid reasons. Jielong's down for an obligating friend's 21st Birthday concert; poor Weili's feeling unwell; beef-loving Jessamine's put in a difficult make-up situation with her organ instructor.
It turned out to be the 3rd time I've been to Vivocity. Not forgetting the night before and the panic from confirming for online booking of a commonly-agreed movie until afternoon. For that, I proudly say I passed the baton and walk down the position for event-organiser. Haha.
Nevertheless, it was gratifying since the gang haven't been meeting up spared Clara's birthday. Plus our busy Naval-officier cadet, Wei Cai, turned up too.
We went for dinner as we waited for those who were late yet not joining us for dinner. Watched Dejavu. A pretty complicated story about this ATF agent Doug Corlin who is involved in a terrorism-act prevention mission via the aid of a very advanced system which is able to bring back the past as an interactive present and, the ability to teleport light mass objects. The ending? It was pretty good. The terrorist (an obessed self-declared patriot) was killed before
the bombing of the ferry commerced.
After that, Kok Sin left as usual since he needed to catch the last train back. While others who were gang-orientated kinda turned down that he's always so concerned with catching the last train back, it occurred to me... Why?
Kok Sin hardly ever mention his Dad. Being understanding, I thought, perhaps it's inevitable he has to miss all the fun from what we could have done staying out late.. that maybe he has to be home early to accompany his Mom.. otherwise, save money (from taking a cab) or not to cause his parent(s) to be worried bah. Well.. then again, nobody knows.. perhaps I'm being too understanding.
We headed down to our nearest Ktv which landed us in Chinatown. Sang till our throats became sore. All thanks to Clara who secretly dubbed their "invented" Jason's concert when I was singing "Yong Qi". Omg. Good thing was both of us sang a song together for the very first time in all history. Haha.
Clara left shortly after we came out of KTV. We then hang around Maxwell market as we waited for the time to pass for us to catch the first train back.
In the milst, I enjoyed myself. However, there was a mysterious part in me that was troubled. Well, I can't sing very well.. and I tend not be as sociable as I thought I wanted to be. Unknowingly, I questioned myself, am I who I am really?
There are alot troubling me.. Though I pretend I'm alright, unbothered and smiling. Perhaps I'm striving too hard to achieve greatness. But.. is this what I really wanted? Who knows...
Arrived home around 7am before the wearing out starts in. I had a really fun time!

De one with Exams Results and Enrolment
Monsoon season
It's been long time since I've blogged. Hmm.. well.. looks like my blog entry is like Japanese anime and comics. You'll never know when the next episode or series is being released. Well well..here's one after so long.
Okay! That's a crappy introduction. Well wonder why I open my blog like this? I supposed it's majorly influenced by my latest heavy addiction and intense interest in Bleach. It's about Ichigo (the main character), shinigami (Death Gods), Soul Society, hollows and Bounto.
Well, I started slow..abit backwards as compared to those who were very good with their Bitorrent downloading software. Not really adapt to supporting piracy, I wished and it came true that Bleach would be available for sale in video stores. Of course, as all of us know, the merchandise would be slower than those available online.
I started watching the new episodes from Youtube. All thanks to my close friend Chin Yu, telling me about this website's existence. Only recently, I discovered this BleachPortalNet. From which allowed me to download and view the current and most updated episodes upon joinning their membership.
All in all, although there was the gurantee of having joined the membership. Somehow I feel uneased downloading the videos. Suspicious whether I'd be caught and considered as an anti-piracy criminal. Hah!
Well well, other than life..Life could have been better after exams.
Speaking of which, my first semester exams results were out earlier. Just that I didn't have the appropriate time to update it online. Well.. here comes... scored a total of 1 High Distinction, 2 Distinctions and a Credit. Overall it's alright. But I was hoping for better. No intention to sound contradicting but I'm fortunate that I was able to achieve such results even though I was having a tough time coping with exams prep and my chaotic emotional stress.
Today met Zhen Ze and Guan Hui. Went for lunch at Carls Junior before enjoying "Eragon" at GV max threatre. It was rather an enjoyable movie. Fantasy. What more can I say. Perhaps worth mentioning that the baby dragon was really very cute and adorable. All the girls sitting around were exclaimingly sighing with heart-softening awww.. those melodious-pitched admiration noises. Haha. However I felt that the fighting scene in the end was too short. It could have been more. Oooh..the catch phrase of the movie? "One part courage. Three parts fool." It was repeated about three times throughtout the movie. Haha!
We then went back to campus for our enrolment for next semester. The journey there was really interesting. Initially, Zhen Ze thought there was bus 61 at the Harbourfront interchange. Disappointingly, it was unpresent. Left with no choice, we took another bus to NUS and changed bus 151 which brought us directly to school.
What's more? jeeez... after enrolment, we had a long walk from SIM campus to Sunway Street where Guan Hui had a dearing desire for ice cream from erm... Something scoops. Haha. After which, we enroute another long distance, reaching Clementi where Zhen Ze wanted to bring us to this nice and famous Claypot rice store at one of those coffee shops near Clementi mrt.
Unfortunately, the store wasn't open. Hence, we settled for dinner at the food centre opposite.
On my way home, I started to think calmly what kinda friend I am. I've been in self isolation at home for this time, wanting some space for myself. I realised I've not been a really good friend. Sigh. It didn't take awhile before the emptiness starts filling up inside my heart. I wonder whether there's any bit of heart left. It's all stained with stigma and the bits and pieces now under stress of other things. New troubles I've just realised what the future have in store for me.
Thinking too much? Perhaps. Well.. just trying to make a better future. I really have so much to wokr hard for...

De one with a Song
Raindrops in the evening
"There's something weird about tonight's twilight skies
Glancing at you, my heart advising "wait no longer"
Embarrasing and filling with a pinch for longing
A journey embarked..romantic days of you and me
I recalled the time we went to the movies on our very first time
Wanna hold your hand secretly yet lacking courage
Haha, I can never forget all my nervous-reckoned cold sweat
Apparantly now holding hands have gradually became a gotten-used-to behaviour
14 February : Our first "candlelight dinner"
Though the food wasn't filling however the accompany was delightful
With my eyes never losing sight of you, I prayed for the time to pass by slower
Red wine causing a tipsy you to lie unto my shoulders
Every memory embedded into my mind
Yet there are more experiences for us to look forward to
Our future life, our present love
Pleading you to accept my love this present life
Will it turn out to be a friend or more
Till when will we cross over
Still lacking some passion
Here you stand at my back
Whispering gently to me
Let me accept your love
When you're lonely, will you reminise upon me
When you're sad, will you think of me
When you're joyious, do you ring me
In the phone you ask, what's "happiness"
"Happiness" is a language that doesn't need to be excessively expressed
Mutual staring for hours isn't tiring
A call would trigger the impluse to meet
Feeling beat? Wish to sleep? Want my accompany?
You told me you'll sleep soundly with me by your side
Needn't broad over a ton of worries
Let me wipe your tears away
You asked if I will court other partners around?
I never will this I gurantee
Because you're my genuine love - a flawless beauty
Lightly I'll mend the fragile cracks in your heart
If there's mistakes from the past
Which are unavoidable this life
I will still choose to face it bravely together with you
Being in love doesn't make everything possible
You and me... meeting.. in an abyss population
Still lacking a little passion
You held my right hand
Pledging eternity
Let me accept your love
If it's truly Heaven's Will
The two of us falling in love
Wishing for a day
Till the exchange of our wedding rings
Having an entire change in life
I'll never change my mind
Let the world witness my pledge of love for you
Understand there are times I'll cause you to be vexed
Understand too sometimes I'll be slow in reacting
However I'll protect you till our hair turns white
And my passion for you will not change with the fading color of our eyebrows
Our memory might deteriorate with time and age
But our happpiness remains engraved in our rings till we aged
(Forever) A fulfilling and wonderful day
As all factors in life ceased in error
Come what may, just placed your hands in mine
I'll be willing to give my everything for you
Whatever past debt in love, I'll repay twice this life
Will you be willing to dawn this ring..."
This song dedicated.
"There's something weird about tonight's twilight skies
Glancing at you, my heart advising "wait no longer"
Embarrasing and filling with a pinch for longing
A journey embarked..romantic days of you and me
I recalled the time we went to the movies on our very first time
Wanna hold your hand secretly yet lacking courage
Haha, I can never forget all my nervous-reckoned cold sweat
Apparantly now holding hands have gradually became a gotten-used-to behaviour
14 February : Our first "candlelight dinner"
Though the food wasn't filling however the accompany was delightful
With my eyes never losing sight of you, I prayed for the time to pass by slower
Red wine causing a tipsy you to lie unto my shoulders
Every memory embedded into my mind
Yet there are more experiences for us to look forward to

De one with Highlights of the Week
Sunny weather reveals again
It's been a fruitful week. Here are the highlights for this entire crazy week. Bought to you by Jason. Haha.
Monday...
Zhen Ze and I went to FJ Benjamin building for enquiry on a job interview. It was a kind frined, Ben's fill-in. Thus we went there, expecting for to see the Human Resource staff, Cynthia. End up, we filled in the application form.
Thunderstorm approached in the afternoon. It started before we ended our business at FJBB. Thus we had no choice but to run to the nearest shelter which was Shaw House since Zhen Ze needed to get to possible bookstores for purchase of notebooks. It was fun Went Borders, then Kinokuniya where I end up buying a new address book and an Japanese guidebook featuring the works and review of manga artistes.
Do you know where's the post office at Orchard? It's located on the fourth floor of Ngee Ann City shopping centre. Nearly got mixed up on the directions. Thank goodness Zhen Ze was there! For what? To buy stamps lor..for a standardised stamp for my traditional practice every X'mas! Shhh.. won't reveal so much. hehehe.
Tuesday...
Morning I went for an 8km jog. Seemed to be enjoying and exploring more of the new route I've found earlier. I ran up all the way till Toa Payoh now..hehe.. Anyway, came back, Cynthia called. Made a way down for an interview. I realised, I'm not very fluent. Perhaps it's my first interview session. Demoralised but hey, I've gotta buck up!
Clara said I should smile more. Haha.. I think I shouldn't forsake this beautiful smile I have. Oops. *face burning red*
After interview, I met Max. We strolled around Orchard since he wanted to get an expensive letter opener for someone. Sigh. End up getting one from Tiffany & Co. Omg. After that, we went Funan since I wanted to get a new PC game. End up, I bought a new NUM slippers! Omg.
It was an eventful day. Nightfall I had supper with Clara. Usual time, usual place, usual food. Hehe. It felt really good... the session brought us back to the old times.. Was sinful to have ice cream after pratas and milo lor.. Dear Clara made a jar of cookies for me.. Awww... It were superbly delicious. There was this last layer of cookies which tasted like my favourite Subway cookies. Omg. Finished the whole jar in the next two days!
Wednesday and Thursday were rest day... Haha. I think so. Couldn't remember much, spare some time recuperating and learning more about cooking.
Friday (yesterday) was great after two days of rest. I went 10km in the morning. After which met Denn for movies. Step Up. Pretty nice movie. The dance, actors and actresses were great. Inspirational sotryline. Awesome!
I must admit it was abit boring since we were stuck in a shop (to accompany Denn's friend who's working there). Had a delicious dinner at Far East Plaza, met some of his friends before setting off for the main purpose of the day.
Travelled to Pasir Panjang. I must admit it was totally worth it. Attended this Buddhist teachings. The Larma discussed about effective communication and answered certain questions from the disciples. Whatever was said it practical and relevant. In order to have good communication, one should anticipate, listen and casting our egos aside.
I am delightfully surprised. The way the Larma conducted his teaching was less formal and monologing as expected or perceived. He talked in a friendly manner and delivered his wisdom in an easily understandable way. Impressive.
Today is another rest day. Sam asked me out but I was sorry to say I didn't feel like leaving home. Having some tough time organising this outing for my gang next coming Saturday. Sigh.
I shall persevere.
Besides, I helped alot in preparing dinner. Cooked the rice. Have most of the ingredients done. Hey, I'm a guy who pocess some skills wor.. Outstanding day! hehe..
