Anyway, my leg is better today, though it still hurts.

Econs paper tomorrow, but I'm not prepared for it yet. =X

习惯就好

Was walking today. I guess I wasnt concentrating and I slipped into one of the pot holes used for drainage and cut my ankle. At first I thought it was just a slight bruise. But the pain was so excruciating, I couldnt help but take a look at it. To my astonishment, I saw a deep cut.

I bled for around 10 minutes? Luckily it was a small cut so I didnt lose much blood. But the cut was pretty deep and it hurts like hell.

***NOTE: Pictures below may be disgusting to some people. So view at your own discretion***



Amount of blood I lost in 10 minutes. I threw away other pieces. Only took these two back. Lol.


I'm better now. Still hurts, but I think tomorrow will be better. So you all dont worry.

On the other hand, havent really been happy all these while. Sigh. But nobody can help me.

烦了很久,或许这是最好的决定吧.. 只愿你我都能快乐..

能吗?

Trishaw Night with OMY and Radio 1003 FM

Today was a fun and exciting day. I gave my 第一次 away today. Oops. Not that 第一次 hor. Don’t think dirty. Haha. It’s my first time riding a trishaw today and my first time getting to see and experience many things which I haven’t experienced before.


We all gathered at the meeting point. Happy to see Jian Wen 大哥, Ke Min 姐 and Margaret 姐 today. Havent seen them for quite some time already. Took some pictures with them and other participants before we all set off our Trishaw journey.



My partner is a beautiful lady named Desirene. She’s so lovely. We chatted all the way through the journey like old friends. Haha. I was also interviewed by OMY and share my experience in this event. You guys will see the interview soon at OMY.sg website.


As the journey began, some part of me rewind back to the olden days of Singapore when trishaw is seen as a mode of transport of many. I imagined myself as one of them. I felt what our forefathers and past Singaporeans felt. I get to experience what they experienced. And I would say part of me would prefer the trishaw to the taxi.



Suddenly I felt like a tourist. It’s as if I’ve entered into another country instantaneously. Suddenly, I get to see Singapore with a different perspective and point of view. Suddenly, I see the side of Singapore which I haven’t seen before. Same route, same shops, same faces, yet a totally different feeling.




We passed by the famous street which what everybody called the "Transvestite Street" or in mandarin the "人妖街" where I really saw many of them. I didnt know that there was such a street. Then also I saw a shop which houses bags and bags of rice and sugar, those with coolies carrying sack by sack, something which I only get to see in TV, yet in reality today they still exist. Passed by the streets of Bugis, Bras Basah, etc. Waving at people as if we were tourists. It's indeed a fun experience. And not to mention relaxing after a long day out. For once, I took my mind off stuffs which 烦 me alot.


After the trip, we all headed to Settlers cafe at SMU for supper. Everyone just relaxed and played board games and have supper, chit chat. I did the same too.



Soon it was time for lucky draw and everyone is a winner. Everyone get to bring back some vouchers and coupons and of course, the most precious are the memories and experiences.


Oh yah, most fun part was celebrating ah ma's birthday. I gave ah ma a birthday kiss! Haha. She was so shy. (",) Happy Birthday Ah Ma.


After the event we all headed down to Kopitiam for some food and drink before heading home.

Thank you people who came down today to support me. No doubt you guys didnt follow me during the tour, but I believe the pictures will make you feel excited too. Cat 姐, 娟姐, Shirley, Joseph, Serena, Mandy. Thank you all! Mandy, please take care and eat medicine.


Lastly, I would like to thank OMY and Radio 1003 FM for inviting me to such wonderful event. Thank you Alex and Magaret. Not forgetting OMY reporter YiMing, DJs Ke Min and Jian Wen and everybody involved in this event. Thank you all!

Last! Tomorrow night I'll be attending an event organised by OMY and Radio 1003 FM. It's a special and unique event which I believe will be very fun! I have to report to Bugis Fu Lu Shuo Complex at 7.30pm (Friday). Hope to see Joseph, Carol and everyone to come down to look for me. After that maybe we can all go for a drink and chit chat a lil. (",)

Before I go, wanna share with everyone some pictures I took during CNY.

This is 四马路观音庙 on the midnight of CNY eve, which is 初一。How many of you didnt know that there is such an event going on in the middle of the night with sooooooo many people? This has been a culture in Singapore for many many many years already. People go and get blessings from Goddess of Mercy on the first day of CNY for good luck and to symbolise a good start to the year. After that we can "请香" home, where we bring the Joss Sticks from the temple all the way home to our own altar.



My dad and I stood in the crowd and queued for at least 30 mins before we finally manage to get in the temple. Haha.

This is Lo Hei which was taken last Saturday on 初七,人日。



Everyone very excited and we all Lo until very high up. But I had to clear the mess later because it's in my house. But we had fun. Haha.


This is me and my gf. HAHAHA.


Believe or not? Lol. No la. This pretty lady here is my Sister. Though she's older, people nowadays say I'm the older brother while she is the younger sister. I got so chao lao meh. :((

Me and my cousin Theron. His hair so stylo milo. Haha.


Finally, me with Petal, my uncle's shitzu. Cute? (",)


Alright, going to bed now. Love you guys! (",)

Never Judge A Book By Its Cover

I was surfing the net recently and came across this amazing clip. It's a clip of the winner Australian Idol, Guy Sebastian. One look, you probably wouldnt look twice at him. But when he opened his mouth and sang, omg, it's damn freaking nice. His 'live' totally swept me off my feet instantaneously. It's that good.

How many times we all judge people based on looks and covers? Whether he or she is handsome, pretty, cute. What brand of clothes he or she wears. How he or she behaves. The list goes on. I'm sure everyone is guilty of that one way or another. But most of the time, our guesses are wrong.

I believe many times we heard someone telling us how bad something or someone is and we just listen and believe. We avoid to confront and seek the truth and we just avoid and shun away, concluding whatever we hear is what it is. Until one day we finally came to know the person and we go "Hey, you are not that bad what. Why so and so say that about you.." and blah.

This is just human nature. Lol.

I've came across this blog of a taxi driver from Singapore. He's a PhD holder from the prestige world renowned Stanford University. Who would have guessed that the driver of the taxi you are sitting in, is a PhD holder from one of the world's best University? Again, we would have passed judgement based on the society stereotyping and made a mistake.

Susan Boyle came on stage, with laughters of mockery before she sang. But left the stage with a huge standing ovation and respect from the world. Soon, her videos was one of the most watched on Youtube and she became famous overnight. Simon said, "I thought this audition would have lasted 5 seconds." Indeed he was wrong.

And speaking of Simon Cowell, who would have thought that he was the man behind our childhood favourite Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Teletubbies, WWF theme songs and even pop irish boyband Westlife?

Someone once told me, people who tries their best to flaunt, are those who probably have nothing much to show while the people who hides are probably those who doesnt want their riches to be seen or known.

And so rightfully true.

I have a friend in the property business and they love to serve clients in singlet and shorts. Because experience tells them they are the real rich people. While those who drives luxury cars and wear branded top to toe are mostly people with alot of debts and installments to carry.

Anyway, the moral of the story is, never judge a book by its cover. People are weird. Those which you thought they might be something might not be what you thought they are and those whom you underestimate might just surprise you in the end.

Ok, that's one long entry. I hope everyone have a good rest! Thanks for the everyday smses and encouragements. Keep them coming alright? (",)

Before I go, these are the interesting links you all may want to see. Haha.

When I told them it's from Hush Puppies, they couldnt believe it. Haha. They didnt know that Hush Puppies has such wide range and variety and designs. I'm so happy. Haha.




Anyway, guess who is this....? Photo is abit dark but I guess you all can see his face. Haha.



Anyway, my artiste management is organising a online singing competition named "Not The Final Version" and it's opening for registration now. No registration fee is required and you can choose to sing any of my songs online. Just record a short version and email to my artiste management and stand a chance to win $500 CASH for champion.

Panda is very supportive towards my music and he recently being attending most of my events and help me to take picture and video. Thank you Panda!


How? I still miss those moment at Sembawang Shopping Centre..... I really enjoy myself on stage seeing so many of you and new faces smiling at me when I was singing. I saw so many people taking picture of me and I suddenly feel like crying on stage. It is so touching during that moment. (",)


I forget to mention yesterday in my blog that I give three sets of presents to Ken from Radio 1003 FM. Actually these are my sponsors' products that I requested from them to give it to Ken, just hope that Ken can also share my happiness using all these products. Anyway Ken is surprised and say that this is the first time a singer giving him presents on stage. Lol. He is cute anyway!

Thanks to Donut Empire, Angelsky8 and Hush Puppies again. Also must thanks Ken for the wonderful hosting as well. Without him, the show wont be that interesting. He is really good and if any of you have an event, do invite him to host and remember he is the DJ from Radio 1003 FM.

The Wolfman

Someone showed me this video today.


That's one real hard slap. Lol.

Anyway, caught another great movie today! (",)

The Wolfman


Genre: Thriller
Director: Joe Johnston
Cast: Thor Freudenthal, Richard Curtis, Benicio Del Toro, P.J. Hogan, Hugo Weaving
RunTime: 1 hr 44 mins
Rating: NC 16

Movie Synopsis
Set in the late 1880s, this remake of the 1941 Hollywood classic begins with Lawrence Talbot meeting his estranged father following his brother's death. While searching for his brother's murderer, he soon discovers something horrifying - that the murderer is none other than the werewolf himself.

Movie Review



I guess everyone had enough of vampires and zombies and animal killing movies for the year. Not this year but the year counted since last June. However, this remake is still worth the watch. It's graphical effects are nice and the storyline instills enough suspense and sudden flicks to make you jump up your seat. Nice settings and plots to make it a worthwhile movie to be watched. But still, if you're not a fan of werewolves or supernatural stuffs, then forget this flick.

Official Movie Trailer



Overall Rating: 3.5/5
