BUSY

really describes my life now.

And true to popular belief, I didn't retain as I thought I would. But I got moderated (or some would call it advanced) to Sec 4 Express. I've said this once, I'll say it again. Time fucking flies like nobody's business. Next year its not just the big 'E' its the GC'E' O' levels and God help me cause I think maybe its better if I retained.

Touch Wood :X

Anyway, just to touch a little on my sister's wedding...


I was extremely shagged on 27th October (wedding ceremony day) as the night before I really could not sleep well...(thought of sister leaving the house...) and I had to wake up at 7 am, get dressed full suit and go down to open the bridal car door for Wen Zhan, my present Bro in-law.

So I escorted a delegation of the groom and his 'brothers' (close friends) up the lift and to the corridor outside my house.

There my sister's girlfriends were all assembled inside the gate, waiting to unleash their little tests upon Wen Zhan to prove his worth for my sister, to make sure that fetching the bride would not be such an easy task.

First up,

"Suan, tian, ku, la"

These 4 chinese hanyu pinyin describe 4 different tastes which translates into (Sour, Sweet, Bitter and Spicy)


They had to finish a plate of food (I dunno whether you can call it food coz its barely edible to me) which consisted things that fufilled the 4 different tastes

There were 'Warheads' (the sour sweet), chunks of lemon, bittergourd and chilli padi (be4 i continue, let me stress that the chilli padi is the small ones that burn your tongue and destroy your tastebuds. Courtesy of my dad who eats them daily :D)

"finish the whole plate" said my sis's bridesmaid, Pamela.


I was laughing at their predicament like some son of a bitch as I watched their faces of agony, espcially Wen Zhan and Jackson, his best man. They were the only ones who touched my dad's killer food (Wen Zhan ate 4 in a row, downed it like a true man to prove his worth) and Jackson ate 2.

The other brothers?

Useless bunch of sissies who dare not stand up for their leader... =.= lousy pieces of shit!

They were the ones who chiong-ed for the warheads 1st which were the easiest to consume.





The next test?

60 push ups and star jumps (in their suits) and sing a song while doing them...

Once again, Wen Zhan and Jackson did the most....... useless brothers.....




following up was the QNA...

Stupid questions were asked like " What is the length of my sister's longest strand of hair?" to which he hantam-ed "90 cm" and "how many moles has she got on her body" (Imagine the scandal if he knew :P)



He was let into the house, but not spared.


He was in the living room, and only my sister's room door separated him from her.

More things like "Say 'I love you' in 10 different languages/dialect


English, Chinese, Malay *tsk tsk*, Korean, Japanese, Bahasa Indonesian, Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese and surprisingly, Latin.



and so he completed the test of fetching the bride..


Ladies, who get marrried next time, make sure ur sisters tekan the groom more!



Barely having a few hours rest, following up, the wedding ceremony.

I arrived at church 1 hour earlier to have a look on the final touches and preparations...

And of all fucking times...nature called...

I rushed down, full suit and all into the toilet....and after i finished.... I ended up sweating like some ********


My heart was pounding after the opening prayer...as it was time for me, Greg and Pamela to Proclaim the Word of God.

Thank God, for he did not let any cough or sore throat ruin His Divine Words...and everything went smoothly......Thank You God, for your Divine Intervention.

After the ceremony ended and we were up at the reception room...it was discovered that Father Patrick, the celebrant of the wedding mass decided to take his afternoon nap...

Which meant me, to say grace on behalf on him...for the food... :D

Probably half the guests present were like thinking "Who the hell is this young punk think he is to say grace on behalf of a priest?"

Well, I would prefer to think of a quick prayer of grace than to bang on the door of Father Pat who's in his little dream.... so fuck off........



Had a great buffet, before we rushed home again for the tea ceremony.........

zzz


which took another 1 and half hour.......

and then...I slept until the next day.......literally....





Thanks to all servers once again... Chris, Damien, James and Ryan.










Anyway, had my hair highlighted XDD!

And I served mass with Shawn Khoo(his first mass) Greg, Damien and Sean Paul. Greg was a little unhappy about me serving mass with my dyed hair.... XP

IMO, Shawn did really well for his first mass...much better than me at least...

Went out for dinner... Me, Greg and the Khoo family at Jago Close.


That's about it for now...


But anyway...still have to prepare myself this week also... I'm helping Ms Pereira move some of the O' level art pieces (about 30 of them) from God knows where, back to school... with some other students...this coming thursday

She did mention that we could come in home clothes, really hope this is just a personal matter and she won't mind my hair.... ;X

And lastly for the wedding dinner this thursday also...

God help me...


and God Bless you...

A Tribute

This post is dedicated to the memory of Supercuts stylist Dor, who passed away yesterday at 11.30pm.

Many people who have gone to Supercuts at Parkway and Wisma Atria would have known him, or even have been his customer.

Dor was a stylist for more than 20 years of his life, attaning more than 300 regular customers in his career as a stylist.

Although I did not know him very well (only got my hair cut by him once before), I heard from people 1st hand about the great deeds he has done in his lifetime.

My stylist (from whom I heard the news) was also a protegee of his. Dor taught her many things in her training to become a stylist. Also touching the lives of his many colleagues.

Dor was already ill for more than a few months due to an illness which I do not know of, but apparently smoking was one of the main factors. During the period of his illness, he had even difficulty walking normally, and throughout the later months had some severe diarroeah.

A month ago he was making recovery and thus discharged from the hospital. Today was supposed to be the day of operation. The night before he was still talking to one of his colleagues, in a joking manner, talking about how happy he was to return to his job after a few months. But he passed away in his sleep on that fateful night, just before the operation was to take place.

The funeral was this morning.

Many of his customers who were waiting for him to return now retreat in disappointment and regret.

His death poses a great loss for not only Supercuts, but also in the world of hairstylists.

A person who gave such great contribution will live in the hearts of those who knew him. May his soul rest in peace. Amen.

Musings

yes yes exams are over...gotten over the joy of it. =.="



I am in a very great holiday mood. I went to the doctor's today, and he gratefully gave me a 3 days MC (actually I only needed 2 since Friday's a holiday...but heck) for me to rest at home due to my lasting cough(maybe bronchitis?) that has clung to my sensitive throat for 1 month, thus, granting me an additional 1 week holiday :D!



Downside is I have to go for another X-Ray tomorrow early in the morning. Hopefully I am not diagnosed with bronchitis (thank you dad for smoking like a mud for 15 years of my life and in the process destroying my lungs.)



Exams and sicknesses aside...



This holidays is busy as usual with many other commitments like church and school.



But I wish to do some things that I have been procrastinating for more than a year or so.



Number 1, the other big "E"



I joined Greg for a brief half an hour ( :/ laugh all u want..) workout in the gym 2 days ago, which we wasted our efforts on later that day at Werner's Oven.



Hopefully since Greg is also on a new personal program to lose his weight, I aim to lose this mountain of lard in my body as soon as possible by joining him regularly.



How easy it is to say, yet difficult to do. :P



And we also cut our hair at Supercuts too.





2, On a side note.....I have started WOW.. currently a level 6 mage, aiming to be Frost spec.







3) Maybe if i do have time I hope to visit another country I have not gone before... Like Australia or something.









Yep...hopefully can achieve all these goals within this holidays.



Speaking of which my dad decided to take his own holiday by going to Macau (2nd time this year) to lose all the family's savings by executing his mediocre gambling skills at the local casino with his group of retirees, to the amusement of all the local pros over there.



With any luck, he will just only lose his capital... hur hur.....



And he'll most probably attempt(note the word. He does not stand a chance against the government buggers at customs) to smuggle some contraband items like cigarettes (there goes my lungs) Alcoholic beverages and what have you.









And God help me, I am f****** shit scared of my results.

Due to my unforseen (:P) sickness, I am not getting news of my results 1st hand, though that's what friends are for. Only thing, I do not know which is worse. Going to school and getting the results personally and see what a complete moron I am, or hearing the brutal truth over the phone from my friends. I guess it just feels the same, but the difference is that I do not have to go to school and waste time. zzzz

For a few days, I have been having this ominous inkling in my heart that I am going to drop to Normal Academic. (crossess fingers)

With all the bloody muds over there, I don't know what is going to happen to my life. My whole life is gonna get ruined if ever I transfer into such a class

I guess that is the only reason for motivating me to study, so as not to be like them, let alone one of them.

Seriously, I think I'll probably kill myself first before becoming a mud. I would never want to be the thing I hate most.

If i DO become one of them, odds of which are one against the avogado number (6 X 10 to the power of 23) I....


I really cannot contemplate the idea of it...sorry...its just way too terrifying.


But overall what's done is done, and all the rest I leave it to God.

What choice do I have anyway?... haha...

Anyways... Better go get something's done

Still have to brush up on my oral skills for my sister's wedding, coz if i so much as cough during the reading she'll most probably stab me with a hairpin or something...

Better take meticulous care of my throat.

1st of which I will throw away every single god-damned pipe, packets of tobacco and packets of cigarettes my dad brings back from Macau.

Or the better alternative, sell them to the muds who can only afford Marlboro. At least can earn profit :D.

Its a win-win situation.

My dad does less harm to his body
I get less harm done to my lungs
and we get to earn money.


lol...



okies..better go rest now...can't stay up late...


Good nite ..

oh sorry...Good Morning,

and God Bless!

When two become one

Your Truly's sister is getting out of the house of the Yeos officially on the 27th of October...Its good riddance.! MUAHAHAHA......NO ONE TO ORDER ME AROUND ANYMORE!

jokes aside...haha

Its kinda hard to bear the thought of my sister married. After spending 15 years with her, just seems weird, even more when she becomes a mother...lol...i pity the child :P

Anyway speaking of marriage, I seriously think that couples feel that marriage means, 'ok reached your destination. Courtship is over. Next phase of my life please....'

How wrong can they get.

Marriage does not signify the end of courtship. Everyday when we wake up to see the face of our spouse, a whole new day of possibilities await us. Why should we stop giving flowers, stop showing special love on Valentine's Day, stop going to the movies, have a date, and stop the spice when we get married?

Does marriage mean that all these should stop? I don't think so.

The love of a couple should never cease and our actions of love should not stop at marriage.

I think the main problem is that, once the kids come in, responsibilities start flooding in between career and family, and the idea of reviving that passion is out of the question.

No time?

You would have if you were not spending time in bars drinking with your workmates during men or ladies' night wouldn't you...?

Sadly, some couples get married, have a family, face financial and emotional problems and then say "I had enough, let's get a divorce"

Of course, more time should be devoted to your children. But husbands and wives, please please do keep that fire in your relationship burining and never stop to show your love.

Marriage is also a lifetime commitment where you give your life (er hem, thats metaphorically) to each other, spending each day together.




For those who are about to get married, here's a little something for you

(the following was adapted from my sis' blog from someone's blog, any term of copyright infringement will not be beared by the author)


Before Marriage:

Guy: Excellent! The day I've been waiting for has finally arrived. I can't wait!
Girl: Can I regret this decision/ take back my word?
Guy: No, you mustn't even think that!
Girl: Do you love me?
Guy: Of course!
Girl: Will you ever betray me?
Guy: No! How can you even think that?
Girl: Can you kiss me a bit/ for a while?
Guy: Of course! And not only "for a bit/ a while"!
Girl: Is it possible that you will hit (or abuse) me?
Guy: Never!
Girl: Can I trust you?

After Marriage...

Read upwards...

there you have it....



Final words from me....


Getting married is one thing, Staying married is another.

God bless!

the big 'E'

Exercise?


not quite.....

but its something that will happen

(god i've been saying this for 2 years and still procrastinating -.-)




but yep...

EXAMS...


The killer week has just begun....5 more days before I am finally free

I screwed up the format for my english paper letter writing. It was supposed to be an email for- mat, but instead of writing to, from, cc...etc....i wrote mine and the recipient's address...minus at least 10 marks or so...for nothing

Chinese paper was quite ok except for the composition which was quite difficult. It discusses about being responsible for what you blog about. The 2nd comprehension was fucked up....

Really Thank God for this 2 days break to catch a breather.


looking forward to exams ending...zzz...so many things I can do with all that free time.
Church, Initial D 4, going out............


hmm...better keep an eye out for my attendance though.... :P

Things have been pretty normal, except for the constant 24/7 nagging dished out to me by my parents...like a fly that refuses to bug off....(no pun intended)

I do wonder if I might retain in Sec 3 though...there are some possibilities of me retaining...attendance like shit...I'm not sure if i can even pass english and 2 others.

Whatever the case, I'd rather retain than transfer to 4NA.

Coz the god damned fucking Ministry of Education has once again implemented a new rule

Students who are in 4NA in the year 2008/9 *not sure which year..better go check* will be required to pass 5 subjects (including english) to be promoted to 5NA

Thanks you fucking arseholes

In 2006 you implemented a "teach less, learn more" policy in the objective to create more creative right-brained students. (guess wat, its not working well)
you changed our 'O's from Cambridge to Oxford.
Then you take away our 1st 3 months of holiday.
And now this which makes life really more difficult for the people in the Normal Academic Stream.

I do not know what the fuck is going on in there, I do not know why are people at the Ministry making so much changes to our already failing education system in Singapore, whose syllabus is constantly changing.

All I ask is just less interference from you government dogs.
