2008 - YAY OR NEY?

[edit add-on: we thought it was just a performance by some look alike lip syncing. the scene was cool and the crowd is pretty hot. i mistook the international star for some look-alike i should slap myself. but it was indeed kylie minogue we saw in grand hyatt on countdown night! (we only realised the next day that what we saw was the real thing lol) it was definitely a night to remember though we hung around the hotel for less than 5mins. it was all worth it now i can die happy]

happy new year, world, okay?

to be really honest, ive never liked the idea of new year; it never fails to remind me that im not just a year older, but also a year nearer to death. dont be shocked with what i just said. people who did read my previously submitted entries THIS , would have known that ive a phobia for death and it still lingers despite its supposedly to be a day of joy and celebration.

however in order not to spoil the mood of many others, i shall sing you a song.

Melee- Built To Last
I've looked for love in stranger places,
but never found someone like you.
Someone whose smile makes me feel I've been holding back,
and now there's nothing I can't do.

'Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it's built to last.

All of our friends saw from the start.
So why didn't we believe it too?
Whoa yeah, now look where you are.
You're in my heart now.
And there's no escaping it for you.

'Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it's built to last.

Walking on the hills that night with those fireworks and candlelight
You and I were made to get love right

'Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
but most of all it's built to last.

'Cause you are the sun in my universe,
considered the best when we've felt the worst
and most of all it's built to last.
see samsung is built to last okay. i hope im built to last, heh. i believe we all are. love you all , friends and family. you guys are the pillar of my life. :)

happy 2008 once again and may the year be blossomed with new experiences, hopes and dreams

scorching sunny day and the late night and i love you

Happy Sweet 19

X Queen - Somebody To Love

it has been 19 years breathing dirt and no fresh air yet, today is the day i celebrate my birthday.
well, happy 19th birthday yeong! another year for me is yet born again; another fucking year, another new lease of life.

my birthday wish?

if you know me really well, you should know what my birthday wish this year is all about. i dont have to say it out loud, you should know it pretty well. ;)

i dont know what is ahead for me, but i really want it to be a good one though. what do you think? hmm.

after 7 years after my mom's death, my dad got me a decent birthday cake. i was almost moved to my tears, because after 7 years later, i can have one really decent cake. could still recall the old days, when my mom is still around, i would have fresh cream fruit cake annually. and usually my birthday held at this really old restaurant called 'Lai Wah Restaurant' along balestier road. all my relatives would be invited to my birthday and i would have many many presents and red packets.

perhaps when i was a kid, i celebrated my birthdays for the presents and red packets. but i guess as i grow older, what i really want is to have people around me celebrating my birthday and watching me grow up.

my dad and sis celebrated birthday with today. i felt rejuvenated, like ive turned the clock back..i felt young once again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YEONG!

strawberry cake. yummy


dad and my sis.

ready, set, blow!

wonder whats in stall for me later in MOS with my clique? hmm. ;) just cant wait!

Tan Turns 18!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAN YIHONG!
