birthday/weddings/funerals

been a veri hectic weekend... fri nite went for frens bdae... had a few drinks at fashion bar... place was decent... but seems veri atas for mi... kinda out of place... i guess i'm still the coffee shop beer drinker kind ba....

sat was good though... went out for a dinner with kam/gan/hh at bugis... it was a pretty entertaining dinner..of course...with mr kam around...since when was it ever not entertaining...
had a decent meal at phin's steakhouse in bugis... ordered food of every kind... hh had pork, i had chicken, kam had seafood and gan had steak... after which we adjourned to gan's house for some gaming action... after which we went for supper at bedok 85 ard 2ish... and we all had a veri long and entertaining topics of conversation..ahh...sometimes it is good to be out with juz us guys and no gals...ahhaa... words flow freely.. haha... it sounds more like a gossip session too... i'm sure gals do have alot of such sessions without guys ard too!!

den today woke up early and haul my ass down to orchard for some ktv... ktv at least is another form of expression imo... juz bate to the lyrics and music and sing along... fun session as alwaes...
den was a wedding dinner of my colleague...
turn out they bride/groom knew each other since sec sch... and they were eventualli tog since jc... ahh... talk abt lasting r/s... this is exactly the kind tt i dun see it nowadays...

kids nowadaes gets into/out of r/s so fast like raikonnan making a lap ard the circuit... u never knwo who ended up tops... wateva happen to those long lasting r/s...i wonder... i guess it's alwaes the pursuit of sparks.... cuz sparks are pretty...but nvr last long... i'll opt for the one tt makes my heart skips a beat and ties my stomach into knots anytime...

and yeahz...zzz....long week ahead...with holiday also muz go work... selamat hari raya in advance...

the last lecture...

caught a lot of shows recently apart from my ainme following regime... there's prison break s4, supernatural, and of course heroes... all the different days of the weeks are used to catch up on all these shows with their weekly releases... and still there's one piece/soul eater/ bleach/ naruto/ dgrey man and in oct, gundam 00 to follow too! sounds like a damn busy life ahead...

anyway...caught the last lecture by Randy Pausch at hs's recommendations... it was not bad... and at the end of the show.. gotten 3 points that i think are worth taking away...

1. Brickwalls are there for a reason. They let us know how badly we want something.

how everyone interprete this is entirely up to them, but i guess this is just similar to my "what don't kills you make you stronger.." philosophy...

2. When you screw up and nobody is saying anything, it shows they have given up on you.

this to me is pretty true... and so far... no many ppl are saying things about me... either i've already been given up...or i never screw up at all... hopefully it's the latter...

3. Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

this imo, holds the most meaning to me... i guess it's impossible to get what we want all the time.. the more impt thing is having going thru that experience in trying, and of course...when you are trying... i do mean putting in your best shot and not some half hearted attempt that fizzes off like goes flat...

this 3 points plus together would somehow gives a more wholistic idea on how to be a more optimistic person i guess.... i guess this can keep me afloat a while more despite all the family woes...

anyway, plans for chalet has been changed to BBQ at Mr. Gan house... it'll still be at 2nd week of Oct. I'll post up the menu in my next posting and please confirm whether you are available or not...

untitled

i realised normali when i have untitled posts...it's often not abt veri good things... somehow my life is abit like the US economy...major up and down...and ya... but this time round..it's realli literally link to their economy...damn..

went to hall foc bash... can't realli tell whether izzit successful or not..see alot of ppl...but prolly cuz itz open to the public... but aniwae... hopefully foc makes some money...
seen alot of things yest nite at the bash..din realli enjoy myself.. was too busy....and too crowded...
and something did rubbed me the wrong way...and i dun mean body parts... i wasn't rubbing bodies with ppl or aniting lidat... but ya.. i dun like to see ppl giving up on themselves... but ya.. under influence of alcohol...itz easy to be that way...

i guess i'm too controlled... or a veri self control freak you could sae... i exact very strict control over my self... and i dun realli indulged myself much in anything...mabbe except gundams... but ya..itz over...

but then today...yet anothing have to pissed mi off big time... i dun like it when greed takes over a person...esp if itz eyeing something tt's not urs... if u wnat something..u betta work ur ass off in getting tt... dun expect ppl to hand it over on a silver platter.... if he was ard... all this shit wuld not have happen in the family... damn...

questions...

there are times we can find answers in the littlest things around us... or we can even try to find spiritual guidance from god/buddha/ whichever u pray to.... but sometimes in life... there are questions that we really have no answers to... like the ones i thought....

1. who do you love more...the one you can find 1000 reasons to love...or the one you love for no reason at all...

2. real frens are ppl who call you when they need you...or the ones that you call when you need them...

3. we lie because we care? or because we dun dare tell the truth...

4. working for a living? or living because of work...

okiez...above questions are realli nonsensical... forget abt it...

of wedding bells and eternal bliss...

went for my uncle's wedding today... the whole feel i got was abit budgeted... i guess for my own wedding (hopefully there's gonna be 1), i'll have a higher tendency to splurge and make it a memorable affair... juz thinking abt the sheer number of tables for the wedding dinner is enuf to make my teeth chatter... juz imagine... 26 uncles and aunties... juz on both paternal/maternal side... not including dozen of cousins... and bear in mind... hall frens/army frens/uni frens/colleages are yet to be included.... faintz... oh well... shall ignore this til further development...ahaha....
============================================================
also...been seeing a lack of updates in other ppl's blogs.... kinda seems that blog has lose it's personal touch...esp when u know who are reading...or duno who are reading your blog... it kinds makes it harders for you to speak you mind and write down wat u want... we become more careful in our postings... and often wat we realli feel we dun post... i guess itz juz human's way of self protection ba... and i do admit.. i speak in circles... you either get wat i'm talking abt... or u dun... itz juz that way for me... and often... my entries often contain double meanings... u juz either have to be literal... or juz see past the words to understands... but for those who does... i guess it juz shows tt they know me betta than others ba....
============================================================
mom's gonna be in genting for the next 3 days... gonna be home alone (okiez..with my bro) for the next few days...ah...time to pick up the household chores....

relationships...

relationships are never easy... it's the intricate connections that connect you to others... be it kinship, frenship, or even a bgr... all of which are hard...
each diff kinds or relationships takes diff ways and effort to maintain...
we can't realli choose our kinship...for we are born into one... who your parents are are already predetermined the moment you are born into it...
and i guess tt's why it should be the most impt thing that matter out of all these relationships...

frenship on their other hand, are what we find along the passage of life...
from young, we make frens along the way...and with the passing of time, frens enter and leave our life... it all depends on how much u cherish the frenship that determines the effort you put into maintaining the frenship... sometimes indeed, it is a one sided thing... you can be alwaes the one tt contact others... and alwaes the one that organises this and that... but it just boils down to your own initiative...

however, i believe the ones that most ppl will be having troubles with are normally bgr... somehow, i see that alot in ppl i knew.... ppl are not troubled over kinship/ frenship..but it juz kills them when it gets to bgr... i guess bgr does rank above frenships...and juz slightly below kinship... afterall, when a couple get married...the bgr auto upgrades to a kinship...or kinda aniwae...

in the pursuit of this kinship... ppl changes... and i do believe that such changes are justified... a impatient person could become more patient with his/her other half... a uncaring person can starts to care more abt his/her other half... but mabbe... in the course of the changes... detrimental changes might do occur... possesive-ness, jealousy, and over reliance and taking for granted might all set in... this will leads to arguements...

ppl will change from a you-first to a me-first attitude... where everything is about ur own self... that's when i guess the typical comments like "you dun care abt me...you dun love me..." will appear... i guess...if it comes to such a case...high chance will be the r/s might fail... and everything's gonna be back to square one...

ah well... who am i to comment aniwae... to all who having r/s probs... good luck...

wat are u dreaming of...

caught singapore dreaming on tv yesternite... i kinda like this kind of shows... talks abt families...dreams... relationships... kinda interesting...as it can really get me thinking... it ain't a big blockbuster... but it does touches one mind...
so what are you dreaming of...
i guess one of the most impt takeaway from the show actually came from a china beer girl...
we lost our dreams in the pursuit of money...but some actually are willing to do anything to pursue their dreams...even if it meant being a beer lady...
of course..such cases are rare though... money still rules i guess...

some ppl would put success in front of everything..for success, they give up family, love and everything else... be it for money, for love, or for something else... i still dun believe in giving up family...

finalli i'm starting on fate stay night...
