RY told me that she went to this fortune telling session @ Redhill today with her SIL... Amazingly, this fortune teller told her things that had happened before in her life and they had only met for the first time...
This reminds me of my first encounter with FT years ago.. I just came back from Aust, jobless and loveless... hahahha.... so Lijing aka Charlene recommended me to her friend whose mum does FT and try see if she could predict something for my future.. For someone with no deep religious belief roots like me, I agreed to it thinking that it will be something like we saw on TV since there is no harm giving it a try.. But when we reached her place, I was quite taken aback with the amount of deity statues in the house.. This is supposed to be a FT session and what has it got to with these statues?! A sense of fear just overcame me as I thought there will be a "ki dang" process which is something I feared most since young.. Assured by Char that there won't be such and true enough, there isn't.. The lady god just possessed the auntie through a simple process..
The FT was done at the altar in front of all the statues... meaning we have to be truthful as Big Brother is watching?! She first does the palm reading... told me about my past life & current lifestyle too.. Q&A wise, she's quite accurate.. but gradually I started to lose interest, as she began talking in Hokkien which I don't understand 90%..
Then I asked about Love... muahahha.... (with some translation help from RY & Char) she said that Mr Right is around, but I need to open my eyes wide to see... piangz... a very vague answer..... nevermind.... and then she wrote 3 surnames (李,谢,朱) on the paper saying Mr Right is one of them... ok, finally a hint.... But problem is even up till now as I write, I have not met any guy friend with either surname yet.... Hahaha... Probably my eyes are still not big enough...
It's actually up to each individual to decide on how much they want to believe in FT.. For me, it's definitely an eye-opener when someone I don't know could tell me things that had happened before in my life... As for the future predicted, I listened but ain't too bothered by it... Believe it only when it happens... And that day will be the day when I become the godma of 2 twin boys.. :)
I will be going with RY to meet this fortune teller soon.. Will she tell me the same thing as told to me before by the lady god?? Stay tune...

Meet the Gosselin
I've been a couch potato recently; either watching dvd or switching channels on the cable tv when I came across this particular reality TV show on Discovery Health & Living.. Jon & Kate plus 8..
It's amazing to see how this American couple (Jon 32 & Kate 34) manage their 8 young children... two sets of multiples - a set of fraternal girls (age 8+) and a set of sextuplets (age 5+)
Kids are cute but when they started throwing tantrums.. It's like devils on the loose... But they have kept me glued to the tv everyday faithfully for that 30-mins segment..

7 years later..
2 weeks back, I've added a friend in Facebook.. someone I've lost contact with since we met in Brisbane.. Jolene - introduced to me by Kris, my then house/classmate... She's a nice lady who was at UQ reading Biz... cooked dinner and invited us over whenever possible..
Slowly, the social circle became bigger.. Jolene intro-ed us to her neighbours upstairs, Thomas & Eugene, singaporeans too.. then Rachel & Gilbert came into the picture... followed by Audrey & Adrian... All except Jolene are seniors at UQ and QUT, meaning they will grad and leave Aussie earlier than us...
The last that I've seen them was late Dec 2002 and then no more contact till I met Jolene virtually online again...
Didn't really get to catch up much but then on Fri at Pool Junction, I saw familiar faces at the next table.. I thought I saw Rachel but on 2nd thoughts, I was thinking it can't be that coincidence... Then as I walked past that table, I noticed 2 pairs of eyes staring at me from the corner of my eyes and as I took a glance.. Surprised! it's really Jolene and Rachel..... Then Gilbert came forward too... ahhh..... soo happy to see them all again.... Gilbert & Rachel are happily married with a son now... The rest of the then-couples are leading separate lives since..
People walk in & out our lives at different stages, some pretend and/or forget you.... some will make an effort to remember u no matter how long u've not met each other... and this group of people are what I know them as friends... and I'm glad these 3 still remember me after 7yrs... :)

My Best Friend's Wedding
Hello hello.. Finally I'm posting on 16th Jan 2009, legal union of Jarrod & Rennae.. hehe :) Has been more than a month since their big day.. Apologies for it had took longer than usual as I was scrutinizing every single photo and selecting the nicer ones to blog on..
The celebration was held at One Rochester Park and it was the first outdoor wedding party that I've attended.. Sweet.. Nice environment with lush plants around the comfy sofas on the patios for friends & relatives.. Indoor table seating arrangement for the elderly..
And of course, the whole party will not be complete without the Couple themselves..
all guests and US, their party troop..
morning gatecrashing session & forfeits..
Most of the best men were really sporting enough to eat whatever we gave them, after much persuading... Kudos to them... It had took us a long time before succeeding.. so long till the extent that the bride was facebooking in her room, so long till we almost wanted to give up and close the door on the guys.. and it's all that someone's fault.. not the groom.. but just someone NATO lor..
Putting the short-lived unhappiness aside, the whole event was really fun.. Originally, we had planned a surprise for RY that is to sing song "Love will keep us alive", dedicated to her.. a couple of weeks practicing at Geannie's school and Elaine's place.. We had thought all was under wraps but turned out Rennae already knew by then before her wedding day..
HOW COME??
As confirmed by Rennae, she felt something was amiss when Victor suddenly asked Jarrod if he wanted the video of the song.. then dear Jarrod forgot to log off from FB, and Rennae thought it was her own logon until she saw the messages which Jarrod had sent to us.. Elaine left her msn window chat with me open on her pc screen while she was away from her desk in office and Rennae's table was just next to hers.. The final "confirmation" was on the rehearsal day when all best men and bridesmaids will meet for the FIRST TIME.. But before the couple introduced us all, Angela waved a happy HI~ to Victor who was standing behind.. Then when I asked her who was she waving to, she still happily replied, "Victor, lor~".. sighz and all was history le...
Other than the couple, there was also a little limelight and she's none other than RY's niece, Ting Ting... soo cute and adorable that everyone wanted to play with her..
BUT then, the limelight title was shortly being conferred to her 2nd brother, JJ, at night instead.. Look at how he managed to get all the aunties to take photos together.. I'm sure J&R future junior will be as cute.. BECAUSE cute godma will naturally have a cute godchild... kekeke...
All thanks to Yeo "our personal photographer of the night" aka Angela's other half, we had loads of cam-whoring activities going on.. Taking shots everywhere and anytime we could.. Looking at the photos, I realise there's a cam whore and she appeared in almost every photo.. see for yourself and you will know who... I will want to request a change of PG next time... hehhe.
Who is the REAL cam-whore?
Come to think of it, being a cam-whore is still not too bad actually.. the worst was being a bridal bouquet hogger and that night was the first time I came across one in my life~~ but luckily she's gonna get hitched by end of this year.. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how many more BB is she gonna hog... Hahaha...
The infamous BB hogger of the Nite

I celebrated V-day too..
Theoretically, last Sat was supposed to be a special day meant for the lovebirds but that doesn't mean that singles like me should stay in..
So on this day, I met up with 2 of my lovely girls, Roanna (who just got back from Jkt) & Leelee plus 2 of Lee's frenz, Carmen & Vicky.. No, I've not changed my taste in sexual preference yet... Don't think it will ever be...
Dinner was at Xian De Lai Hotpot which is my fav outlet though service is a bit slow, but that is still acceptable in exchange for the really cool air on 2nd floor seating..
Looking at how pro Roanna was with handling that plate of fish paste, it goes to show Alf had done an excellent job on teaching her the basics of a good wife... Way to go, bro~ kekeke... Lee might want to learn?
After dinner plan was ad-hoc, we had nothing in mind on what to do next exactly but wanted to spend more time together since we 3 don't meet often... so we 5 walked back to Bugi Junction, did a bit of shopping @ Watsons... after which, Vicky dropped us off at Selegie 'cos we decided to go for a drink... then Carmen left too....... so 3 of us went in search of a good place to chit chat... and we really did looked~~

While waiting for the soup to boil after putting in the first round of ingredients, we did a bit of cam-whoring... 3 of us took a decent pic... then a nice shot of Carmen taking a bite of the dried chilli from the 四川辣子鸡 soup base and the steam from the hotpot made her looked as if she was fuming... Vicky wanted a nice background but Lee spoiled it with her holding a plate of fish slices...

Mr Bean opp Paradize Ctr - No table
Hong Kong Cafe @ Peace Ctr - Table available but put off by the bad ventilation
TCC @ SMU - Closing in 30mins by the time we reached"
before we finally settled for Pool Junction, a ktv pub which closes at 2am i think.... got ourselves a sofa seat facing the door.. cosy ambience & a good singing crowd.. though occassionally the pleasure listening was being interrupted by a grp of ugly sounding youngsters... Had an interesting girls talk, and of cos a fair share of cam-whoring again too...
Someone told me that Vday sucks (either he was joking or probably he's just feeling lonesome..) But to me, it's only the date which is special.. Other than that, it's just a normal weekend where I don't have to wake up early to go work and able to have some 'Me' time to do whatever I want... I did and I enjoyed it very much... :)
一位好久不见的朋友
感觉好陌生哦。。 就好想遇见一位好久不见的朋友。。有很多想说的话但却不知从何说起。。 绞尽脑汁。。 停顿了好久。。 想了更久。。 终于鼓起勇气跟它说声 ＂你好，我们又见面了＂
已经好久没有写中文文章了。。 最后一次好像有十二年了吧。。 中四会考那年。。 考了A2。。成绩放榜当时的心情有点失落，因为辜负了老师对我期望。。可是想想也还好啦。。 反正都没有要报读初级学院的意念， 而且也曾推掉报读高级华文的机会。。 所以又何必在乎那一分呢。。结果， 我从此就和这位塘山来的侠客决笔了。。
今天又自己一个人在家。。小狗例外。。电影单片， 连续剧， 综艺节目都看闷了。。 睡也睡够了。。 网上游缆也游多了。。 带狗狗到楼下走走也走累了。。 回家，觉得有点无聊。。 所以就尝试写一篇中文版的博文。。
想了想。。 该写什么好呢？？真的不知该写些什么。。
唉。。 好难啊。。 伤透了脑筋。。 不是没有题材，而是很多却不知该用哪个。。 因为我的用词现在是属于限量级的，所以必须找个最简单的吧。。
有了！！
最近常跟朋友去唱K，他们都好厉害。。 各个嗓子都很好。。就好像去听演唱会似的。。 我呢。。就像个歌迷傻傻的陶醉在其中。。 我会加油的，但可能还得花个十年功吧。 呵呵呵。。
完 :D:D

Do you like or love??
Got this email from a friend recently and decided to share with all..
你能分清楚爱和喜欢吗？
喜歡和愛咫尺千里。
當你喜歡一個人時，你想和他在一起，因為他會帶給你快樂；離開後，你會想念，想著想著就會笑，然後繼續你平靜的生活，並期待著與他再一次重逢。
當你愛一個人時，你想和他在一起，那是一種牽腸掛肚的捨不得，怕他受委屈，怕他不能好好照顧自己；離開後，你也會想念，想著想著歎一口氣，'不知他現在過的怎樣？'然後你繼續你平靜的生活，希望他早日回到你身邊。
你喜歡的人在你眼中是天使，無所不能，他總會滿足你的任性的要求。
你愛的人在你眼中是孩子，傻傻的，你不期望他做出什麼'好事'來，只一味縱容他那些讓人哭笑不得的舉動。
你會希望你喜歡的人陪著你，然而你心中想的可能是你愛的人；
你會希望陪在你愛的人身邊，看他在你面前睡得如此安逸甜美毫不設防的樣子，你會微笑，會覺得好幸福。
你喜歡的人傷害了你，你會生氣，並且一定要讓他哄著騙著逗你笑你才原諒他；
你愛的人傷害了你，你只會獨自傷心，因為你怕對他大吼大叫會嚇著他，你憂傷地微笑著，看著他的眼睛，一旦發現他的眼裡流露出歉意和悔恨，你會立即心疼地摟他在懷裡，那一刻，你也是幸福的。
你可以同時喜歡很多人，你會希望和很多人在一起，但也許很多年後你才發現，原來你愛的就只有那麼一個，就那麼一個，怎麼都不會變，你以為把他忘記了，其實只是忙的沒空想起而已，
對於你喜歡的人，你關注的是他的優點；
對於你愛的人，你關注的是他的缺點，並且，那些缺點如果無關原則的話，它們在你眼裡是可愛的，獨一無二的。
喜歡和愛其實只有一紙之隔，任何愛都從喜歡開始，當有天你突然發現，你喜歡的那個人在你眼中不再完美，而他的瑕疵正如月中的桂影一般讓你更加依依不捨，你會覺得與他光彩照人的一面相比，你更願意看他在你面前無助的表情，不知道是不是應該祝賀你，總之，你的感情昇華了
——仰慕不是愛，甚至不是喜歡，當你對一個人只有仰慕之情時，你們在一起便失去了和諧。
有人說愛一個人很累，的確是，因為你想為他承擔，可是愛與喜歡相比最大的魅力就在於，
當你和愛的人在一起時，你的感覺就像回家了！
