14 June 2009

its e time of e year again. i would love to celebrate e occasion more stylishly, not too sure if e age is catching up, i've lost e annual worth-celebrating feel. e feel was such like i should have grown up by now and shouldn't be spending so much time planning how am i going to spend e day or who am i going to spend e day with. on e other hand, e mindset was toying around, i somehow still welcome unexpected surprises.

my lovely bunch of colleagues astonished me with a small celebration in e office during my hectic involvement in one of my biggest exhibition events. it did come across my mind that this bunch of jokers might attempt something funny again but i never know it coming, not until e ceiling lightings were dimmed and a simple chocolate cake appeared right in front of me. brilliantly done.

many things occupied my mind. i am unable to express how i feel, however e most natural attitude protrayed e "whatever" will do. i don't know why i'm doing that, it just come almost naturally. i'm easily contented with what i've got today. i am not short of any gift. ok, if yes, some might not be able to get/afford it. i like e card which e guys have penned on though. that's my favourite card of all-time. i felt the blessing from e card instantly. that's all i need.

nonetheless, spending my free time with joanne is heavenly. i've never had such a good friend in my entire life i believe. what do you ask for if you've got such a lovely wifey, a group of exquisite friends at work and enjoying every single moment of football with a healthy body.

i've not achieved anything big but i smile at my life. i smile for e reason of how i've been moving along in a direction where i know that many people adore me, love me. i am a fortunate young man who has been very lucky to lead such a life.

14 june is over. my watch shows 15 june. hours passed in a flash but e blessings on every 14 june will be with me, and this will be the first time of e year, i wish myself.. happy birthday

birthday card

well-written birthday card from my colleagues. hell knows how they managed to rope in so many who's willing to pen for a birthday "boy" like me!

message of e card.. from our princess joey! e guys couldn't stop talking about zouk!

what do you expect from a highlighter-pen-designed gift voucher which states "only valid when actual voucher is purchase"! so cool... i still cannot buy anything with this piece of paper, haha! ok lah, great effort!

celebration

some close colleagues of mine arranged a pre-birthday celebration for me at party world last evening. well well, turn out was good but not too sure if e guys were there because it's my pre-birthday celebration or because it's been a long time since e guys gathered and last evening was a great opportunity for them to catch up! haha.

as usual, i treated e singing session as a concert, i sang to entertain and for certain practice sake. strange enough, i didn't really enjoyed e entire session at e shenton way branch. i felt a sense of failure for e session but definitely e guys did a good job by arranging such a wonderful session into e night. i mean i loved e night, i loved silly-dancing with felicia and co but e session seems hallow. it might be e huge and effectless room which we're allocated to perhaps.

overall, e mood was right throughout e night. i appreciate that!

pc show coming this week and my mind has been fully occupied by e booth visuals and numerous tiny logistic arrangements. e event with one of e longest night is finally here.

graduation

i was at e same venue almost 8yrs ago. then, was attending joanne's graduation. this morning, i was invited by nyp's school of business management to joel's graduation. this time round, i was allocated to e seating right at e front portion where both jon and me were identified as e industry & trade VIPs!

your eyes are not playing tricks on you - i am absolutely undressed for e occassion. compared to what i've worn years ago, today was definitely a dressed-down but to give myself e benefit of doubt, i was not awared of my VIP status, not until i was given a name tag upon my registration at e auditorium foyer. guess what, my name was tagged onto e seating too!

joel's amazing stint with suntec singapore was no joke. he has shown his capability of achieving big in this exciting industry. he graduated with merit and i see future in this fellow. keep it up, young man!

admiration

came across this small column write-up on e way to work this morning. hong junyang was once criticized for being an one-album singer. but ask yourself, how many of you are up to par to criticize such a person where you, yourself, is not even a singer? who presented you with e right to do so?

in my not-so-noble life, i self-cultivated myself not to comment on one's life if i do not go through what one has done for theirs. i am not as talented as junyang but there's one part of my life, very much similar to what he's saying out loud on national newspaper - at least i used to do that, at least i've been through that, at least i've experienced that. my admiration for such a declaration is honest and real.

not so long ago, i chanced on a lunch with junyang and dasmond at fish n co. we talked about e usual men's topics and junyang's character personified his will of succeeding in this entertainment industry. he joked no one has got any impression of him anymore but i certainly disagreed with his comment. however having saying that, i remarked an "one-day-i'll-make-it" spirit in his innocent look. well, one of my colleagues, sharon, definitely is one of his supporter!

as a matter of fact, i looked back the heyday (of mine) with a smile. i am no more longer frustrated with how my dream has been shattered especially admitting the fact of my inability to deal with sporting stress. now, i took on a different role in my life, i've acquired new priority and i am certainly living my life with pride.

golf

e new era of team suntec singapore golf team


finally achieved my pc yesterday. i still remembered how i blog about my new year resolution earlier this year. mission finally accomplished.


who am i really shooting?


sharing a moment of laughters, perhaps more like pre-jitters prior to e tee-off.


edwin tee-ing off at hole 1. don't question us about the par!

mas selamat

rumours and speculations said that famous terrorist, mas selamat, has made his way out of e red dot since his escape early last year. i've never been convinced as i strongly trust e tight security measures which our country has built up in place.

while receiving e news where mas selamat has been captured in malaysia this early morning, it seems like i've been given a knock on my head, reminding me that i am still living in an ordinary country where normal civilian like me will be harmed while walking down e streets.

i am disappointed with e fact that mas selamat has managed to get himself out of singapore easily after his escape. so where were e soldiers and policemen? I thought newspaper reported so much on their heavy deployment around e small island where maybe a fly might not be able to fly out!

so naive hor..

i always thought that singapore has got one of e highest level of national security. ya, such incident does happen but as a true singaporean, i'd like to express my insecure and disappointment in react to such an issue. on e other hand, i'm impressed by how much we have been putting in in order to get mas selamat's head. i remembered reading one article where some guys actually quited their jobs and went hunting for mas selamat's head!

this episode has finally ended. regardless of mas selamat being captured on our island or on e other island across e causeway, i'm delighted with mild rejection.

kudoz to those who captured mas selamat and definitely big kudoz for those who did e posters for mas selamat. THE END.
