Winzzy's World Of Thoughts

Mon (29/06/09)

Today, supposed to go work with my fren but in the end it turned to nought.. long story. Kks, so went to meet Dome at Bugis at 1 pm sharp (i was on time!! :D). Then, we went to Illuma to walk a while as i wanted to go up to the SKY level. Upon reaching, saw that it havent finished renovating, thus had to go elsewhere =(. Aft a while of hunting ard in Illuma, we walked from Bugis to Dhoby, halfway stopping at a food centre, had delicious beef ramen for lunch! Then, walked all the way to the famous Rochor Beancurd Stall where we had a taste of the beancurd! Previously i ate the hot one, so this time i tried the cold one and it tasted nice and sweet, even better than hot one. Aft a bit of walking, we landed at Parklane where the gaming starts! And aft tat, had dinner at LJS before i went to meet another fren of mine at Orchard.

My oh my, Orchard has really changed a lot! New shopping malls and new environment.. WOW! Orchard is really undergoing a lot of changes.. i bet it will have a newer look and be the most outstanding city in the country lol.. Next, headed to Starbucks to chill out for a while. Java Chip Mocha Venti and Oreo Cheesecake = yummy!

Pics..!

Very long time nv play this game aredi

Yummy oreo cheesecake

Too bad its not cold enuf =(

And thats all.. sayonara!

Well, from the title, u basically noe wad i did right? CHILLING OUT & FAMILY GATHERING.. yeah thats right!!

And so i shall declare.. its the END of the post!!

But i noe u blogders wun like to see such a short post isn’t it? Lol.. so yeah, for the benefit of all u blogders, i shall EXTEND the post then!

FRIDAY (26/6/09)

Met up with Aim to have dinner at City Hall. It was supposedly quite rush as Aim has another appt later on. And the best thing was, we din noe where to go for dinner at all! Lol.. And then i just tot of gg to Marina Square. But Aim said its quite far from his nxt destination –> Clark Quay. Thus, we headed towards someone near CQ. While walking..sudd Aim changed his mind and wanted to go Makan Sutra at esplanade instead. So, we made our way there thru Suntec. Upon reaching Suntec, Aim said he was hungry and din wanna go any further and wanted to settle dinner at suntec.. then i said ok.. but somehow as we walked to the convention centre, after looking at that bridge connecting to MS.. i sudd had an idea!! Marina Food Loft!! YES.. thats the place!!

Oyea, so after a while of topsy-turvy thinking here and there, we finally decided on the location –> MARINA FOOD LOFT!! And yea, its a gd decision made indeed. I recalled sitting at the open space outside and just can’t wait to sit there again.. esp at night, it will be more lovely and beautiful! Then we went to order our food at the Indonesian BBQ stall.

Look! Isn’t it nice? Its Grilled Chicken Chop.. i loved the BBQ sauce.. superb! Aim ordered a Grilled Chicken Set.. just one word diff but its a diff food altogether!

Enjoying the night scenery and skyline while eating.. ooh what a nice and good feeling!!~~
 
After that delicious dinner i had, went to toilet and after coming back, Aim told me a bad news. His appt was cancelled!! He seems disappointed.. but anw, we went to take a walk then. We walked to esplanade there and ordered some drinks at Makan Sutra. I ordered Calamansi with plum.. nice drink and gd for digestion too! So wells, basically just walked and talked for a while before gg off as Aim gotta work tmr. So tats all.. a nice chilling out day! :)

SATURDAY (27/6/09)

Today was quite a topsy-turvy decision making day for me!! >.< As i gotta make a decision among these 3:

1) Accompany my friend to the SHINE Youth Mascot Parade for his Cosplay thingy.
2) Go for a Youth Evangelistic Event at my friend’s church.
3) Go with mummy to my Aunt’s hse for family gathering.

It was rly a HARD CHOICE to make!! As i just wanted all!! But i noe i cant.. :(

But eventually, i came up with a decision somehow and rather unknowingly, here’s how…

As i was still struggling whether to go for the church event or to acc my fren at the mascot parade, i finally came up with the decision..thats to acc my fren at mascot parade as long time nv see him already.. So first, i sms-ed that fren of mine and told him i can’t go to his church event today as i got sth on.. Secondly, i called A-san to find out where he is. To my surprise, he was just setting off only! It was ard 3pm tat time.. and i tot he wud be there earlier as Cosplay was his passion! Nvtheless, he still went in the end. He sounded quite delighted over the phone knowing that it is sth he enjoys and he also WUN BOTHER abt other’s opinions of him.. WOW..i must really salute him for this man.. if i were him, i think i would have chickened out.. lol.. nah just kidding.. i will still go if it is to my liking! Anw, he sounded quite happy even though he was alone so i din blurt out to him that i wanna acc him actually and aft a while we ended the phone call.

Just then, i received an SMS from Mum saying that my aunt will be cooking dinner and asked us to go together.. and so, THE VERDICT WAS OUT!!

Family gathering at Aunt’s place!! =)

Reached aunt’s place ard 5.30 and then sat in the living rm. My uncle has just bought a Nintendo Wii set and we were like watching him and my 5th aunt play “Cooking Mama”. LOL!! One of my fav game when playing at my Sis' NDS.. But this time its on Wii!! Not easy.. gotta move the Wii controller here and there.. but it was quite fun to hold the controller and play this way.

Dinner time!! Everyone sat at the table until there was not enuf space!! So Sis and 5th aunt sat at living rm. And my aunt had whipped up so many nice dishes.. Curry Fish, Spare Ribs, Chicken Wings, Tang Hoon, many many more! And also, pizza! I ate bacon one i think.. nice! Aft tat, had some fruits and drank a bit of Choya.. i took a big gulp and it was so gasy until i had to cough to feel better.. wah.. din noe Choya was so gasy one.. no wonder gotta mix with Green Tea then nice.. but i din drink it with green tea.. only mum drank and she said it was nice. So yeas, overall it was a nice family gathering as i seldom get to be with relatives often so its a gd and meaningful time spent with them! =)

So, the moral of the story is…

In life, there are a lot of decisions need to be made.. Choose the right decision and u’ll enjoy it but choose the wrong one, u’ll regret and suffer.. So, better think twice before u make a decision.. just like how i ended up making the decision to go Aunt’s place and Marina Food Loft..both were gd decisions. So, think twice and really think twice before u made any decision so tat u wont regret.. :)

Let me do a review on the Circle Line for u guys!

1) ONE BIG difference between the NS/EW/NE MRT trains is this…

The space between the cabins!!

Guess wad? It is made of RUBBER.. and its so comfortable that even if u push a person with a great force, tat person won't feel any pain at all cos the rubber absorb the force tat is coming and prevents the person from getting hurt. Wondering why i said this? Cos i tried it with my fren.. thus no worries! Just dun push too hard can liao..

2) Transparent glass doors!!

Yes, they are 100% transparent and u cud see what is inside the tunnel..cool huh!!

3) Escalators with a wheel shaped roller (no pic haha)

And lastly, it is NEW, CLEAN, FRESH, COOL and AWESOME!!

Okk.. thats all for the Circle Line review!

你一个人失了魂 清晨哭到夜深
不要别人问
我不出声 一直等 听你说你心疼
当时好傻 好天真
如果可以 我愿意 这样陪你到永恒

让我照顾你 面对再大的风雨
也能微笑做自己 像个孩子 躺在我怀里
让我照顾你 在这荒芜世界里
就算有新的剧情 在明天等着你
然而在你最需要的此刻 请让我轻抚你

总有一天会有人 一个懂你的人
让你从此不心疼
如果可以 我愿意 这样陪你到永恒

让我照顾你 面对再大的风雨
也能微笑做自己  像个孩子 躺在我怀里
让我照顾你 在这荒芜世界里
就算有新的剧情 在明天等着你
然而在你最需要的此刻 请让我照顾你

你看破了虚伪 拆穿爱的假面
後悔曾经为他付出一切  喔~
我会在你身边 当你伤心欲绝
不奢望你涌然泉源 喔~

让我照顾你 面对再大的风雨
也能微笑做自己  像个孩子 躺在我怀里
让我照顾你 在这荒芜世界里
就算有新的剧情 在明天等着你
当你对这世界失去信任 请让我照顾你

Another great song. Just listen and u’ll noe why.

天边的那朵云要去哪里流浪
如果有答案要记得跟我讲
谁的爱放在假日的市场
讨价还价拍卖着它的重量

穿着白色西装的紫乌鸦
站在那里不停地鼓掌
就要下雨 你的自尊要逃向何方
是男是女 随便你要怎么想

只为他穿过一次的黑裙子
深深锁在记忆的墙
写好的遗言也要用力唱
祭拜我们为了爱的疯狂

只为他穿过一次的黑裙子
还在风中荡
黑指甲 短头发 有些话 不用讲
为爱 我就是这样

穿着白色西装的紫乌鸦
站在那里不停地鼓掌
就要下雨 你的自尊要逃向何方
是男是女 随便你要怎么想

只为他穿过一次的黑裙子
深深锁在记忆的墙
写好的遗言也要用力唱
祭拜我们为了爱的疯狂

只为他穿过一次的黑裙子
还在风中荡
黑指甲 短头发 有些话 不用讲
为爱 ~~

只为他穿过一次的黑裙子
还在风中荡
黑指甲 短头发 有些话 不用讲
为爱 我就是这样

Zhang Yun Jing rocks!! Powerful vocals and detailed feelings.. a real born singer and talent..

Just listen to the song and let ur tears flow~~

WOW!! What a plethora of food!!

These are the foods i came across and have eaten in 2009 until now.

Sometimes, its good to take down what u have eaten so that it can serve as a gd memory too, isn’t it?

Some of my favs: (R = Row and C = Column)

R1 C1/2 –- Dark Berry drink from Starbucks.. <3 it!!

R3 C1 –- Mango Ice from Xin Wang.. splendid!!

R3 C5 –- Damn nice Beef Kway Teow.. def a must try!!

R4 C2/3 – Mango Sago from Asian Kitchen.. super duper!!

Alright thats all.. looking at all those foods, doesnt it make u salivate?? Haha.. happy food hunting!!

Yesterday, i ‘ransacked’ my cupboard and actually found this…

It is an Autograph Book which i used to collect autographs from my friends in the good old days.

Looking at it.. really brings back lots of memories.

Although the cover is a little old, but the contents are still as good as ever.

I wonder how many of us have this habit of collecting autographs from friends?

If there is one word i can describe abt this book, it is “PRICELESS”.

It is not the book that made it priceless, but th CONTENTS inside the book which contains all the various heartwarming messages and autographs penned down by my friends.

Looking at all those autographs which have been penned down in this book really bring me the greatest joy as i knew in those days, the friendship that we forged were so pure and golden. As friends, we loved and value one another wholeheartedly and sincerely. But now, times have changed.

Among those messages, many quoted the phrase “FRIENDS FOREVER” in my book. How i wish it was for real! Yes, those days we were all so young and innocent tat we really tot friends are for life, but its not true at all. Friends come and go…

Anyway, how time flies!! From pri to sec, then to poly and now.. to the next phase of life.. I really hate growing up! If i could stay in those primary sch days forever, i will for they are the most enjoyable and happiest days of my life.

As of now, i will truly madly deeply treasure this lovely autograph book of mine as it contains the best memories i could have ever.

This autograph book will always be a priceless possession of mine. And those messages, they will forever be etched deeply inside my heart.

Well, im just so frustrated.

Why?

Becos of my dad.. he keeps nagging me to go find job and not stay at home to be a freeloader.

Whenever he is at home and he sees me, he will always come and tell me this.. “GO FIND JOB AND DUN BE FREELOADER!!”

Until im just so frustrated by the constant naggings..

To HIM, its like always work work work.. money is important.. i noe he is like supporting the family income now so he has a BIG burden to carry, unlike the rest of my family.. who are just living off by themselves.. they earn wad, they keep.. but my dad is the only ONE that is contributing to the family..

But even though.. he did not care abt my feelings at all..

He only noe how to constantly nag me to find work, but.. has he cared for my feelings?? Does he noe wad im gg thru??

He doesn’t even noe a single thing wad im gg thru..

Come to think of it, im also quite guilty for not working but just keep spending..

I noe i wasted my 4 mths holiday… nv even go find a proper part time job.. only temp ones.

Anw, thats not the matter.. i noe my dad is telling his fren over the phone or whoever that his son is useless only noe how to be a free loader.. wadever.. he doesn’t even ask how am i feeling or even cared for me as a father.. only noe how to push me to go work work work..

Even now, im just left with ard 1 mth to NS, he’s still asking me to go find work.. and blaming me why i din go find work the previous months.. haiz.. im sick and tired of it le..

Work work work.. its not that i dun wan to work, but if i work and work and SACRIFICE MY HAPPINESS.. wads the pt?? I dun wan to work like just a nobody.. even if so, i wanna work happily..

No use saying all this liao.. since NS is drawing nearer.. but i just hate it my dad keeps thinking in his mind abt WORK.. and nothing else.. does he even care im gg army and wun get to see him for maybe 2 years?? I dun think he even care at all.. he is also not gg to send me off..

To him, im just nothing.. i live for myself.. wadever spending or expenses i am handling myself now.. using my own savings.. i din even take his money.. only times whereby i stay home and eat.. and im seriously sick and tired of him asking me to find work work work when he dun even spare a tot abt my feelings..

I want somebody who can understand me and encourage me, not just PUSH PUSH PUSH me to do sth i dun like.. and esp now there’s not much time left too..

If NS wasn’t sth compulsory or i cud just forgo it.. i would have gone and find work already..

$$$.. is always the source of all probs.. keep spending $$ need to earn it back thru working..

ANW anyway, i dun wish to care abt anything now since i alrdy left 1 mth to ns.. wad can i do? work? yes im guilty im guilty.. for not working.. haiz..

If only HE understands how i feel.. everyone always say parents are the best to look for advice.. but to me, my parents dun even does counselling.. Parents shud look after the problems of their children.. tats wad a parent shud do.. but my parents did nth except just to nag ang NAG and NAG NAG NAG NON-STOP!!

ARggghHH!!!! IM SICK AND TIRED OF IT!!!!!

Somebody just come help me….$$$$

I want my happiness!!!!~

Went out twice in a row from fri to sat.. really enjoyed being outside with friends..

FRIDAY (12/6/09)

Met up with XT to go to the PC SHOW. But, he arrived late and i went alone with merely 15 mins to closing.. haha.. so din really saw much.. just a lot of human floods and buzzing noises.

Finally got out of the crowd and went to some place to wait for XT. When he finally arrived, we then went to have dinner at Pastamania!

XT’s ??? Baked Rice  My Beef Bolognaise Sphagetti.. topped with lots of cheese!!

Yummy dinner.. aft tat just walked and talked until we reached MRT and lalala.. home swt home =D

SATURDAY (13/06/09)

Met up with Aim at Sim Lim to collect his mp3.. nowdays mp3/4 players are so cheap! $40 for 2G..can u believe it?? Yes, im not kidding.. but quality wise.. its another thing.

Aft tat, we walked opp to New Hawa restaurant for dinner..the food there was great! and cheap too! Both of us ordered Black Pepper Chicken Rice.. yum! And then i ordered a Milo Dinosaur as i was feeling kinda tired so wanted to perk myself up.

Nice & tasty.. <3

Aft dinner, we walked from where we were-Little India to Dhoby Ghaut and then all the way to…. Clark Quay where we chilled out at A971CAFE which is a cafe pub.

Cool place! :P

The seats we got were near the river so its absolutely breathtaking to overlook the whole of The Singapore River!! :D

Stylish looking menu!

Our drinks!!

I love these shots, esp with the background, it really brings them to LIFE.. the background is simply fantastic.. doesnt it look kind of 3D??

The Singapore River Cruise Boat

Colourful neon lights!!

Yeah, fun weekend.. hope to have more of these in future!!

Bye! =D

Last Monday, had a steamboat gathering at…

 
I LOVE STEAMBOAT!!

Very long time nv steamboat-ed already..

2 different soups.. left is TOMYUM, right is CHICKEN with herbs? haa.. thats our creation! Originally chicken soup but add the gou qi zi (aka red seeds) and the dang gui and poof.. it becomes HERBAL CHICKEN SOUP!! Yumm!!

Then, eat & eat & eat non-stop!!! While most of them ate fast enuf, me was the slow one.. but u noe why?? Cos…

SLOW & STEADY WINS THE RACE MAH!! haha.. ok not race.. its food race!! lol..

And then, on to.. 2nd round!! WOOOO~

Notice the soup changes.. tats becos i add more vegetables in the right while left is like nth much liao so the soup dissolved and become more diluted..

Then me and big bird had a challenge, that is to finish wadever food that we took.. I took lots and lots of veges while he took a lot of beef and chicken.. Both of us completed the challenge so it was a tie!

After that, was supa full to the max.. ate an ice-cream for dessert.. durian flavour but dunno y tasted a bit bitter maybe cos of the bittergourd i ate earlier.. :S

Walked and talked and then pool-ed at K-POOL until 10pm.. home swt home aft tat!

Yeah.. i just went thru 1 1/2 days w/o internet from 6/6/09 to 7/6/09 Sat to Sun. (And the feeling was terrible)

Why?

Cos my router was spoilt! And so i gotta get a new one. Initially i tot everything will be fine once i got a new router.. but who noes.. it was the start to more problems!!

At first, everything was working fine with the new router i had just bought. Oh and btw, its a wireless broadband router.. so means i can use wireless too! (if only i knew how to set it up correctly).

Well, at last i got everything set up correctly and can finally browse the internet using either wired or wireless both connections work fine.. just when i was abt to accomplish my task.. guess wad? Some unfortunate incident happened!!

Suddenly, there was this error… “Limited or no network connectivity” with that sickening yellow icon next to the connection icon. I thought the conn was a bit loose so i adjusted and tried again.. BUT.. however.. after UMPTEENS and UMPTEENS of tries.. it wasn’t successful.. that stupid error keep popping up again and again..

And so, i had no choice.. but to bring it back to the shop ON THE NEXT DAY to get a new one.. fortunately, i was given a new one (but that old one def has a prob just tat the boss of the shop said he was busy so he cudn’t test it and just offered to change a new one for me..) Ok fine.. anyway, i got the new one.. its a different router with a different speed.. previous one was 300mbps.. WOW!! But this one is almost less than half the speed of that previous one.. its only 108mbps.. but who cares?? As long as it can work.. im happy already! Moreoever, that 300mbps is shown as 100mbps on my com..so even if its 108, it still show as 100.. so no diff lah!!

So.. after reading the manual and successfully setting up the router.. FINALLY I CAN USE THE INTERNET!! Whew.. and of coz.. my SIS too.. she was complaining abt not having to use internet cos we shared the cost for the router.. she keep asking me to get it done if not she wants her money back.. zz.. and finally now its working.. so i dun hav to give her back! Just kidding.. im happy cos finally can use internet liaoz..

So this was my 1 1/2 days w/o internet.. it was truly unbearable!! Esp for sis.. she needed it so much that she had to use direct connection to our modem in order to use internet while for me, i ended up with no internet for the whole period.. just slack and rly got nth to do.. But becos of this matter, i also din go out, was supposed to meet a friend but i cancelled cos of this BIG matter.. Sighh.. Alright, there’s always a next time..

Okk now the internet is up finally.. tiring man.. whew..

Oh yes.. there’s another thing i wanna write too.. since it happened ON THE SAME DAY 6/6/09.. i just lumped it together!!

On 6/6/09, me and my fren, CB went to return our grad gowns.. and thats when we saw this cute Graduation Bear at the shop..

So cute isn’t it? It was spotted when we were abt to leave the shop after using the toilet.. and my fren also like the bear.. see our photos with the bear below!

Me and the Bear.. dun we look like gd frens?? =D (see the bear is like tilting towards me? its actually firm and not moving)

How i wish it was mine!!!

Yup, it was a short but good day.. aft that gotta go back home and fix the internet.. So alrights.. tats all for now.. bye!

I can’t help crying when i hear this song 寂寞光年 (The Lonely Years). Its just too touching and emotional.

Some of the lyrics are quite relevant to me though.

漫长的寂寞淹没我的难过
我的世界是零下的沙漠
其实我也想要拥抱的温柔
融化这颗坚强的泡沫

漫长的等候让人特别失落
锋锐寂寞把天空都割破
还有谁能够紧握着我的手
陪着我期待消失的彩虹

I’ve done a translation of the verses below:

The endless loneliness has drowned all my sorrows away
My world is a desert beyond the coldness of 0 degrees
How i’d long for the gentleness of an embrace
To melt away the persistent foam that is blocking my way

The endless waiting causes even more despair
The quietness pierces through the sky like a sharp needle
Who then would hold my hands firm and tight
Accompanying me to look for the fading rainbow inside
