Way Back into Love



Particularly like this part

I've been living with a shadow overhead,
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
I've been lonely for so long,
Trapped in the past,
I just can't seem to move on!

I've been looking for someone to she'd some light,
Not somebody just to get me through the night,
I could use some direction,
And I'm open to your suggestions.

Taipei Trip - The Day we Teambuilt

Went to this indoor lazer trekking facility for our team building event. It is located opposite Taipei Main Station . For those interested can check out their website at http://www.lazertreks.com/

Basically is a indoor laser gun shooting game . Simliar to what we did for Paintball, minus the sweat and the pain. Our team is call 红色警戒 , and as expected we won! lol. I think we got some vouchers to revisit the place and a bottle of champagne. The vouchers wasnt really useful for me so i pass them to my peers in Taiwan.



Almost wanted to change to Wordpress

I always like new things. Was reading up on Blogger vs Wordpress and seems like Wordpress is better. But need a lot of setup in the end i give up the idea.

Day #2 @ Taipei

Have a early morning conference and we only left for the office after the meeting . The weather is drizzling and floating at about 18-20 degrees C which is technically a very good weather . Just the drizzling makes the mood a bit sulky.

I think the last time i visited Taipei was probably August last year. Been quite some time since i met up with the frens and collegaues in Taipei. Lunch was a simple one at the foodcourt below A4 ( Xing Guang San Yue ) . I went with Christine and gang and we chit chatted a bit about the company future. Lol. Sounds so business...

We did our work proper and purpose of coming for the day before heading for a simple dinner. It was a THai buffet below the office and happened to be crowded by some R&D Scientist group.. and i have never seen such a big oyster before. Took one to eat it, put lots of lime and chilli to kill that fishy taste. I probably will not try again because i started blurping ( due to the coke ) and all it comes out from my breath is oyster smell. :S



Damn.. i weigh almost 80kg!



More Runs! and More Gyms!

Something i read on SQS878

read this in Chinese version but think it makes a lot of sense to those who are in. a relationship or was in a relationship before so I decided to post a translated summarize version here in blog space.

只要等到爱情完全消失后,你才会了解到,快乐不能被前伴侣牵引着。

some. couples in a relationship will prefer not to meet after the relationship ended, there are however some who prefer to stay in touch, hoping to find out more about the other party whereabouts
and to find out how he of she is getting on with life. why? might not really be care n concern in my opinion but rather they wanted to know if the other party is in a depressed state as a result of the failed relationship. quite amazingly, some will feel "happier" if he or she is depressed because this will mean the r/s is a worthy one. on the other hand, if he/she is living happily or is in another r/s right away, this might mean everything that was done together may not be worthy at all.

since already separated, does it really matter how each other feels ? shd everyone use or measure the success of a relationship by each other feelings after the breakup? then how do we measure those that didn't end? is marriage and kids a good yardstick?

maybe the default sad one is the one that is being informed of the breakup n the one who wanted to break is the one who should get over easier. people who initiated the breakup n trying to find out how the ex is doing probably is just trying to make himself feel better.

sounds like loving and being loved is still for oneself. selfless love probably only exists in fairy tales. not everyone can get over so easily n maybe, maybe the best way to get over quickly is to find another one that comes along. borrowing another person to forget this person isn't the best solution. this is like digging a hole to bury another hole.

要彻底忘记对方可能要等爱情完全消失后,那时的你就能真正了解到自己的快乐不能被前伴侣牵引着。 如果只有想着前伴侣才能让你心情好一些, 那你的生活的重心到底在哪里? 于其关心已与你没有关系的人, 那倒不如多花心思在别的事情上海。

for those who has fallen out of love and still trying to get out of it.

Travelogue - Taipei ( 23 - 28 )

March 23

AT the airport now waiting in the lounge. THe flight is at 12.25 but i reached the airport at 9.30. DFS shopping is always fun. There is a Fifa store here which happens to be the only one in the world at the moment ( Yes, that is what the salesman told me ) . Saw some World Cup 2010 apparels which are damn nice. Willbe most likely goingn to buy on my way back.

The candy shop sells fxxking big lollipops too.. and free beer in the lounge. Actually i didnt realise that since i dun really drink beer so frequently until recently. lol




Flight is boring. I watched Madagascar II and it turn out to be a very nice movie. The flight is 4 hours and 30mins so it gives me a chance to watch one more show. I decided to watch "The Day the Earth stood still " but is damn boring. I gave up half way. Haha

Dinner is good. Ed brought us to a place call Ruth Chris Steakhouse.

The Weekend of March 22-23

March 22 Saturday
Today has a 10 man raid arranged for Undying. Means clearing naxx10 without anyone killed. didnt make it for first boss, and ends up as a 10 man normal run which is still equally fun.

At nite went to One rocheseter to attend Superman Wedding. First time i attend a dinner party. I.E , u dun ahve to stay in a ballroom around one table and eat a 10 course or 8 course dinner and then yum seng whole nite. This is more like american style where u get food from a spread and then just sit around and chillout.





The groom is 2nd from left .

One Rochester is near Buona Vista and is damn far from where i stay ( Sengkang ) . Raining and carpark is full. I end up parking in HDB.. cock...

March 23 Sunday

To Help or Not to Help

A uni fren of mine called me yday on my way back. I havent been in touch with him for the last 10 years. we know each other through some other friends in hall and occasionally went to his mansion for mahjong. Yesterday he called me and ask me if how's J. J is his good fren in uni days but i guessed they havent been contacting for a very long time.

Apparently, J has get himself into heavy debts once again due to soccer bets. Yes , is once again because this is not the first time. about 1.5 - 2years back the same thing happened and i attempted to help him.

Haev a short sms conversation with him yesterday . All the "standard" yes i will change, no i dunno why this happens comes out. Anyway the takeaway from that conversation is "if you really have decided to turn over a new leaf, dun count on your frens, sort ur problems out yourself"

Helping a Fren and Harming a Fren is just a line away.

10km SubUrban Run @ Sengkang



Completed sub urban run 10km on sunday. This is a relatively smaller scale event compared with AHM and standchart marathon. I took part in the two in a team with Rek. The difference between that and individual open is that u need to finished the race together. Our timing is 1hr 0 min and 44sec. There arte a total of 115 teams in this category, we came in #35.. not bad but can improve. The first progressive run towards my 42km goal @ stand chart year end. Check out the pic below ! =)

The IT Fair this year ( 2009 )

2nd day of IT Fair. Was mentally prepared is going to be fxxking crowded. I have nothing in my mind i planned to get . The only thing probably is a micro SD card ( 8GB ) for my HTC Dream and 2 rolls of DVD R for my TVB shows.

I took ECP and ended up at the backside of suntec. Good thing they have the below to tell me where to park. Not as crowded as i thought. Was about to go to bugis and park actually..



once i reach there, my shopaholic itch is gone. So crowded, so noisy and isnt cheap at all. Canon Print Catridges for my printer at home selling $17 per color. I can get it at $14.90 at Funan....

Ended up at TCC typing this and enjoying my Mochavilla. :)

5 days after getting my first non Moto phone

This is my 5 day old phone - HTC Dream running on Google Android platform



Was still thinking last week this time if i should get iPhone or Dream . but believe i make the right choice!

Top 3 things i love about my Dream
1. The syncing of contacts , calendar with gmail account
2. The apps and their interaction with the native features on the phone
3. It doesnt have "Motorola" on it!

From Game Mates to Drinking Mates

Date : Feb 27
Location : O+

Who say Pandas dont drink ?
( Azrilla, Healme, Darth, XFS, Suxel , Corra and Erten )

Too much drinking = Sore Throat ?

Got sore throat and flu recently. I am trying to see if there is a link with the recently increased consumption of liquor to the sore throat. Tried to googled " sore throat + too much liquor " but couldnt find anything that confirmed the above statement. QB told me , most likely due to liquor because drinking is heaty and causes dehydration. Hmm....

Amazingly , i googled that Jack Daniel actually is a remedy to sore throat! Looks like next friday bachelor night for Superman at o+ , i can't run away from it....
