gifts!

when you reach 25 yrs old, u agar noe that bdae surprises are nt really surprises anymore, can relac abit and dun take celebrations too seriously.. i also feeling that, not really waiting for big surprises.. but my my boy was i surprised, chao big time.

it was the 1st time i received flowers! haha.. a bouquet a neatly wrapped roses were presented to me when i met jx at marina sq, wa lau.. quite the bomb, it totally revolutionise the idea of buying flowers from guy to ger. gers, take note. then a well-crafted arrangement with ken & darren to get my buddies + partners for the bdae dinner at jap restaurant at waraku, the bomb! despite some minor miscomm, the celebration was really very very heartwarming. tks to those who came!

the gifts i received are beyond monetary value, its really a result of friendship, bondship and family bloodhood. thanks to pa ma huan & jun for the pedro brown leather shoes, waterboi & aili for the goldlion handphone strap, darn classy la. tks to darren, ken & vince for the braun buffel coin&key pouch. lastly, tks to the incredible superwoman who get me a bouquet of roses, a handcrafted bdae card and a personal fav braun buffel wallet + many many surprises, too much details to share. ;)

even tho there are work issues, challenges, timeline, politics to deal with everyday, i'm blessed with a wonderful gift to share my worries. i cldnt be more thankful for those many hrs u sacrifice in planning & accompanying in the medical reviews etc.

1 more special someone, i dunno hw to describe the fuzziness in my heart when my grandma called me to ask me abt my knee condition.

love is in the air, from family, friends & u.

Are you game?

'My name is joel and have a good evening." 10.55pm

wonderful. 1st of the few occassions kr dnd ended on time. have to give it to alvin & gang for tight programme. was infact elated that some of the past mistakes were nt repeated, however at the expense of some grandeur & comfort of last yr's. nevertheless, it was an excellent event, the sound was gd, the residents enjoy and above all the emcee, simply classy.

great to catch up with the load of alumnis there, somehw felt it was in the past again.. i still rem the old times when we were the best dressed table, haha macdonalds! haha it was classic, we were the 1st to have costumes out of our body frame, ie, hon's fries.. haha, as we can see from this yr, everyone was bldg on big big structures, haha the finding nemo's was particularly massive, i rem having to move to clear the poor girl in that shark's suit. hha.. b'blk's stars wars was impressive, have to give it to them..

as for performance, dblk's kungfu hassle and meet the fockers's capeiro martials dance rendition is a hit. thats really pure talent. smart integration of skills. personally i think eblk's performance was the best, we all know adrian cant sing/dance any better than me, but somehw they exploit lish's strength, which obviously is showmanship and vocal strength, together came up with a mini musicial.. wonderful, wonderful. its prbably the q&a segment n this performance segment tat sealed the ms kr deal for her as well. ablk's F1 intro was .... -_- ... walau, 'im not gd with balls, only gd when they are with humans'... liberal also nt like dat.. grey line b/w being witty & bimbotic.

as pual koh (1998 kr eblk alumni) put it across neatly, she (lish) is probably the most hungry for it (the crown).. haha .. thats y she gt it. mr kr is close fight la. hard to say, but i wld say its a gd choice too, hes actually my personal frienbd/jr in maris, very intelligent person, has alot of weird likes and talents. congrats to all the winners.

enjoy some of the pics la. ha, if gt most-underdress-award, its gt to be me. haha

lionel & emily.. haha, i always tot lionel is darn farny la.. haha his performance for that nite is classic too.. well done, well, he didnt get mr popular for nothing.

the everloving ben & cherie.. im looking forward for their wedding in a couple of yrs time :D

lemongrass

its waterboi's bday and i owe him a treat, so on fri, me jx waterboi and aili went to heeren lemongrass for authentic thai food, it was gd, way better than the lemon grass we had in usa ny. anyway, being the usual cock waterboi, he told us he had a reservation at the restaurant... so when me & jx reach there, the host was asking under whos name was it reserved.. immediately i blurted 'waterboi'... then.. he gave me this wth face.. he tot i was joking.. then i say ng wen keung.. again.. he gave me the wthhh face..

wah lau.. after a gd 10sec of trying to figure out his reservation name, jx spotted aili's name.. and waterboi was jus a few tables infront of us, the trademark sniggling n grinning. he is, undoubtly kr's best joker.

happy bday bro. glad u enjoyed (and finished) the strawberry pie. ;)

thai style spring chicken, tender in the inside and crispy on the outside. gd dish!

the rest of the feast

thai green curry, very aromatic.

the best of the best dessert! some choc, green tea and strawberry pie.. its the bomb!

ouch

jus when i tot my knee was getting better, it strike again. this time its a possible meniscus tear, the pain was immense. sian.. all over again. went to a pte hospital to get diagnose, immed they can fix an appointment for MRI, consultation. whereas for govt hospital, u gonna wait a month till the cobwebs start to form.. but all these for a stark monetary difference of at least 5x!!

need to work, need to have financial freedom to protect ourselves and to pay for medical bills.

feeling blue, all over.
