[2 is better than 1?]

Mum felt sick(fever and giddiness) since last evening..thus I took take a day's leave to accompany her to the doctor's.

Then suddenly while in the showers haha, this thought came upon me. Is 2 better than 1? Recently, there's this TV Ad from NTUC Insurance, summary is they are saying 2 persons together are better than 1 (sans the insurance lines). Thus I wonder if 2 persons staying together (like a married couple) is better than 1? What if one day one party fell ill? Won't 2 be better than 1? In other words, is having a life partner better than being single and alone? Well sure it will probably does not show any difference now but surely this will change when u are old...right?

Life partner---what alien words these are.

[blogging and writing]

I dunno since when blogging is a little something everyone of the this generation shld do but....now really everyone seems to have a blog.(yes I have a similar entry) Even our lovely MPs and ministers have blogs. Have some of the most basic forms of communication been replaced by cold hard text?

I love writing esp when there's an inspiration. I guess this is something I enjoyed since I was in Pri school and my compositions then were actually singled out for others to see. I guess that spur me on to write and to enjoy writing. To me writing or ranting my blog is a good way of 'self-communication'. Many things go thru my head daily. I have many thoughts and feelings and etc. As much as I want to verbally announce them or to offload them off my mind, I simply cannot do that to any tom dick and harry and I shld not do that to my friends as well. Thus this blog is a good way to offload stuff on my mind, things which I have thoughts about, stuff which I maybe thinking about, my opinions and etc etc etc.

Not too long ago, some of the younger MPs are doing hip hop dancing for God knows why. Goodness, I was so 'flabbergasted' (sadly on the neg side). MPs to most teenagers or to the general public (IMO) are those people who were 'nerdy' scholars, those high academic flyers...MPs aside,(lest my blog gets sued for nothing) but if u see a nerd doing hip hop like that (think William Hung (American Idol)) going 'yo yo yo check it out yo shake it yeah shake the room yah yo h yeah shake my booty shake ur boobies shake our booties yeah~~ blah etc) How wld u feel? I just think it is oh-so-redundant.

Trying hard to impress and failing to do so is..not recommended.

[Time]

While recollecting my thoughts yesterday.I suddenly felt that the end of the yr is approaching. It is kinda dauting to see that it was like a blink of an eye away that I just started out on my current job. And yes it is coming to one year already. To my surprise I have managed to hold on to this job for almost a year and it is certainly not the easiest or the most eng job I ever did. I still almost felt it like yesterday or at most last week, that I just bought my Samsung D600 slider camera. It was such a darling then until dust went into the lcd..and back then I recieved some sms outta blue from 'someone' of some time ago.

Then I remembered my 1st overseas trip for work to Beijing, wearing that insanely thick coat or whatever u call that. 1st trip to Japan..the immense pressure during one of the most difficult periods in my time in this company..how I hang (the pay increment helps) and all. I dunno what made me to continue working here. Is it because I can feel my own importance? No matter what, now i am in charge of the ALL the design related stuff in my company frm brochures to catalogues to..... Besides this im also doing my translation and coordination of other stuff.

I find I changed pretty much this yr. Many outlooks on several stuff have changed, esp my outlook on r/s.

Hope for 2007? PS3 hehehehehehe

[Fri and now]

I took leave on Fri cos I felt overstretched over work for the past weeks. Not that there was ALOT of work but anyone who is working will know the monotonous cycle and how draining it can be. Anyway I did not have that peace of mind on Fri cos that fucking Jpn wanna make some sudden change in their orders...and the production is almost completed in the factory. Then I liased here and there..and....I dunno..

I certainly do not welcome Monday cos I am supposed to make some stupid conference call (consisting of me,China side and the 2 Jpns) over some stupid issue cos the Jpn (one of them, the end customer, I term him the Hokkaido jiji) overreacted when the China side visited a competitor in Jpn..why do i see such a resemblance in the Jpn political scene and here? Honestly, it is very hard to grasp what the older generation of Jpns are thinking. They are awfully stubborn. Sense of superiority perhaps? Oh yeah, i tried so hard to make the 4-way conference call since Thurs but nothing cld be done cos I cld not even contact the Hokkaido jiji..in the end my Jpn agent said there's something wrong with his mobile phone...u see, he demanded the call and he cld not be contacted, how to do things like that?? Sometimes i wish i can say this :

Princess Hours is ending this week and I not yet received my Lee Yool's necklace!!! 2 weeks oredi! rah..anyway PS3 is so overpriced..I wonder when can I ever get my hands on one. Cheapest I found is $1388 for the 60GB version and u need a step down transformer which will be ard $120. Asian/HK version is $1488 with 3 games and 1 extra controller. I feel it is not that bad a deal. Good gracious, it is like buying a PC.

Speaking of which I think I will get another PC (free) cos I recon my MOL for another 2 yrs. The desktop is supposed to retail at $999..im looking to sell it for $800? Price neg. hehe Anyone interested? The specs can be found in starhub website which happens not to be working right now. Its a SR1950AP.

[hahahaha]

You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

[Princess Hours]

was surprised to see a 'fan' and a friend requesting for updates for my blog =o. ?? ?????? Kumsumhamida~Anyway for the past 2 weeks, there have not been any much happening except I was hit by the Korean fever without me noticing it hahaha..

Thanks to the relentless erm...promotion from Channel U. I was kinda hooked on to the now showing Korean drama Princess Hours. And THANKS to my work I cannot catch it cos by the time I reach home I can at most catch 15 min of it...I wanted to borrow the vcds from friends and my cousin but apparently they have a long waiting list..so in the end I bought the DVDs! WHAHAHAHAHA @ the new Poh Kim store opened near my workplace. (sadly now that's the only santuary in the midst of a ulu industrial park) The DVDs costed me $39. I also bought a poster (ORIGINAL from Korea) for $30 @ yahoo auctions and stupidly I imported a Jpn version of their soundtrack from HMV Japan which is abt $56+ when there is a cheaper ORIGINAL Korean version and a Lee Yool's necklace for $31.40 which I hope will reach soon. And my collection is tada~

The poster is much bigger than I though. Met a very honest dealer cos I bidded for $35 (bid price is $30) cos I wanted to close the deal fast.I paid her $35 then I left. Then she called me telling me that bid was closed at $30..so in e end I got back $5 haha. As for the OST, ok I was too impulsive. I saw the Malaysian version of the OST @ Poh Kim, so I bought it..then it hit me somehow that I cannot really stand non original stuff. I dun mean the Malaysian version is not 'original' but I mean I prefer something authentic. If it is Korean, it has to be imported from Korea, same thing for Japanese stuff cos ORIGNAL is always the best and have all the essence. (That's why I DUN buy translated Jpn comics) Ah anyway, I did not regret getting the Jpn import cos it has one very nice track (READ: For Japan market only) and a DVD and a Jpn translated booklet. I dunno why I just fcuking dislike cheena translated shit.The Malaysian version has a fucking VCD..which is gg to show shit on my HDTV (ahem).

The songs are VERRRRRYYYYY NICEEEEEE. The drama is so VERRRRYYYYY NICE.. It was 10 yrs ago when I was so nuts over a drama,feverishly promoting it to my friends who dun 'Korea' like me in the past hahaa..yes yes I know im slow cos I dun go for soapy dramas like Winter Sonata and all. It was Jewel in the Palace which got my eyes on Korea..and now Princess Hours got my heart into it. I hope this will fuel me into learning Korean which I want to do so hopefully next yr @ Singapore Korean School which is located near Paya Lebar.

I like all the clothes Chae Gyung wore in the show as well as her earrings,shoes..the Alfred bears are pretty cute too. It is very much like a real 'life' fairy tale. At one point I even wanted to get all the accessories in the show from the clothes,earrings and the toufu cushion.....but I did not anyway. Cannot imagine what wld my mum think if she sees me buying woman's clothes n earrings hahahahaha..But honestly this show did strung some cords in my heart..seeing Chae Gyung cry in the show reminded me of someone who used to be part of my life. Seeing her whack the toufu cushion also reminded me subtlety. I wonder is it her eyes? Shin, like me is very much isolated and lonely person who dun usually open his heart to anyone tho I think I am much more verbal than him hahahaha. So this show is something I cld relate too..no wonder I find it heart warming.

The ending is good, and I see so much potential for Part II but apparently there is none except for Gong 2 (Prince Hours) wtf? The producer shld ride on this Princess Hours wave and create the sequel cos Chae Gyung was pregnant in the end (she was having some sorta morning sickness and in the end, the Alfred bears (they depic the future) show a baby bear carried by the bear which represents CG) The sequel cld show the royal couple rearing their child and so much more!

And yes it is a very nice show and I will rewatch it hahahaha
