多情自古空余恨, 此恨绵绵无绝期... This was what "chue pak kai" or "chu ba jie" in the HK Stephen Chow version of Journey to the West sez. Well, I've managed to find a para of the poem, but I'm sure theres a longer version somewhere...
多情自古空余恨
好梦由来最易醒
天长地久有时尽
此恨绵绵无绝期
If anyone knows where to find it, do lemme know ya! Hee..
Oh My God...

Was at Guardian Pharmacy picking up some stuff, when we went to the counter to pay. While waiting for the cashier to key in our stuff, I saw a black box with the word Andro on it. Saw the advert before, with a girl in red and some herbs or whatever else they put there, but didn't pay it much attention. Feeling bored, I picked up the box and flipped it around. The instructions on the box says it improves blood circulation for men. So I presumed its a hair growth product. Its important to have good circulation to have a healthy scalp rite? The I looked at box, and saw some brochures beside it. I picked up a brochure and there was the picture of the girl in red, some oysters, seahorses and other stuff. My other half told me, it is men cream la... then I realised what the oysters and seahorses meant. I immediately placed the box where I took it and noticed the sales lady giggling away. Aiyo, why they put this kinda product at the cashier counter la... put it somewhere discrete ma...Pant Pant!!
For a second week in a row, we went to Bukit Gombak Stadium to jog.. the previous week, we went on a Sunday...I made 6 rounds... but ended up with a neckache and pain in the back and calves for the entire week!! Problem was, it was a Sunday! So, had to nurse the back and legs over the week at work!
Man, am I getting old or what...
This week, we got smarter...decided to jog on a Saturday... that way, if I get aches, I still have a Sunday to recuperate... I did 7 rounds... and this time, I got a headache... of all the non-medical remedies I know, I've took Vitamin B complex, drank coffee, slept for 3 hours, and applied Vicks... but the migrane is still here... well, if nothing else helps, then I'd have to make do with panadol....

And the following one after that...
Guess again?

Hmmm...
Something to think about:

We went to the Natas on a Saturday. And after deciding on foregoing Spain due to some technical difficulties, we were at a loss of where else to go. Walking around, we managed to get some brochures. As most of the booths were just opening, I caught one Aunty at one of the travel agencies lecturing her young staff. "Dun just sit there, stand up and ask people 'Going somewhere?'. Got a lot of people walk here walk there dunno where they wan to go wan". Somehow, it dawned on us that she was referring to us. So, that was the end of our tour at Natas fair.
A new companion...
Got myself a new Yamaha Privia 700 a week back... was planning for a Casio CDP-100 for the longest time, but when we went over to Carrefour, and saw a couple of models, this was a winner!! Well, and not to mention $500 more expensive than the latter...
Never was any good at piano...but I guess I can now spend some time on it..

Finally a letter!!!
I was reading the newspapers one day... and being a comic page person, it was a one in a lifetime occurence that I was flipping through the rest of the articles... halfway through the newspapers, an article caught my attention. It was on a rapist being caught. What caught my attention was not the article itself, but the name of the rapist... it was 80% similar to that of my brother!! So what happened next is history... and it included some liquid paper, an envelope and a stamp. He received the letter a few days later... and his joy of receiving it was shortlived.. I guess he would've cursed me profusely after receiving an envelope with an article.
Years later, well actually yesterday, I read an article on a kid with a depressing past... well, only this time, he had the name of my office buddy... stopping short of cutting out the article, I sent him an sms with the page number and newspaper it was on... phew..... good thing though, he didn't have the time to read it...
Guess I should start writing a proper letter... to compensate for the missing letter that should've companied the article..

Chiu kua...
Wow...always dreaded going to the karaoke with frens in Singapore.. after all, I am chinese illiterate, and singing a mandarin song is as good as me reciting a poem from memory.. but nonetheless, 3 handsome guys made their way there. The lady asked if we were singing for a couple of hours or longer and told us they would close at 4am. If we left anytime before that, they would have no additional charges.. Looking at my watch, it was about 9pm plus. So, if we sang for like 2 hours, we would finish by say 11pm.
So, we booked a room, got in, and started honing our throats.. One guy sang like Jay Chou... the other like Andy Lau... hehehe... I as usual, cannot sing la.. So, imagine Jay giving Andy support while singing a Stephenie Sun song...
We were there for a while, and as we ordered our second drink on the house, it was already 12+... so, deciding to maximise our investment, we made another major decision... to sing till 4am!! By 2am, we were foaming from singing.. the mike seemed to have legs...and always ended up on Jay's chest... then when Jay and Andy took a leak, I swopped places and all of a sudden, I was Andy, Andy was Jay and Jay was me! Finished a couple more songs... and it was already 4am..
We walked out with Andy (now Jay) commenting that he couldn't walk straight.. he can drink 2 towers at Brewerks, but just singing 7 hours at Kbox and he can't walk straight... hahahhahaa....
On an ending note... this is probably the first time I've spent so many hours in a karaoke room...

Friday night...
Went to Shin Kushiya at Suntec for dinner. We both ordered a dinner set each. This is what you get for a $23 dinner set....
Ooh, did I mention there was a salad, garlic rice, miso soup and other condiments as well? Now nursing a bloated stomach for overeating..

What do women really want..
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death. The question - what do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged. The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first. The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage and made obscene noises. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus: What a woman really wants, she answered.... is to be in charge of her own life. Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was, the neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half. Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or in the night? Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?
Noble Lancelot said that he would allow her to make the choice herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Touch screen..
Went out with a buddy last Friday... we were in McDonalds, and I was asking him whether my K800i phone could log on to SG Wireless. He took my phone to check if it had wifi. Half way through, I saw him hitting his fingers on my handphone screen. After like 5 to 6 attempts, he looked at me sheepishly and said "I'm too used to my Palm phone la".....hehehe
