yay caught the movie Ratatouille finally!~ at amk hub. first time there, dun even know where's the cinema keke. common sense tells me it's at the top level. =P i was late for work that day. super suay. the day before i was very angry with my colleagues ma. whole night angry. probably tt's y i couldn't wake up. but that means i had to stay back at work to make up for the time i was late. suay because this just so happens when my boss is in. the past few days he wasn't in i was early okay! and i was angry for the times i was early and my colleagues were late yet they leave at 6pm on the dot. i know it's not right for me to get pissed over this, esp when i'm not guiltless regarding this, but...
oh ya y i brought up the part abt me being late was, i stayed back in office till late lor. i knew i won't be able to make it for the 6.50pm show, and i sorta gave up the idea of watching movie yday, but last minute i felt gian again. watched part of the making of the movie, and i feel that the music and sound effects are the reason this movie must be watched in cinemas and not at home. and if i miss watching it before thurs.. the ticket is gonna cost more (hehez) and next monday there might not be anymore screening. it's running out!! managed to catch it at the very last minute. show was at 7.50pm, i only reached AMK like, 7.45pm! haha!
ya anyway movie is good. it's funny. i love the music. but somehow the story... every scene makes me expect something... ...something better than i get. hmm. dunno if u know what i mean.
i DON'T recommend watching movies at AMK hub. dunno if it's only theatre 3... the seats are damn narrow! there wasn't space for my arms. i had to share arm-rest space with the people beside me somemore.
by the way.. ATB is in Singapore! going to perform in MOS tmr night! but... cover charge for ladies is $25.. though i may be commanding an income, money shouldn't be spent this way. haiz. i think i will just listen to his cds at home ba.

:: sept week 1 ::
yeah i was saying i feel my boss is piling work on me. I have ...currently, 9 projects on hand. including 5 major website revamps and creations. can u beat that? i am so prepared to do OT this week.
4th tue - went to Mount Faber to meet a client. wooo shiok.. nice place to work in actually. just errr.. a bit hard to get there. i feel like switching to the tourism industry... the meeting was a bit long, but i met a fellow 21-yr-old poly grad working there. =) honestly i'm not very confident of my ability to do the work i promised. but i must do my best to prove myself. i wanna be a good designer!!! *sobz..* there goes my freedom...
client offered me a cable car ride to Harbourfront. ooohhh shiok! shld have brought my camera. later i try upload another pic thru my phone.
bought donuts from Vivocity - it was lunch time okay? went to Standard Chartered to query abt my debit card, found out it wasn't sent out... then took train back to office. bought bubble tea along the way. i feel deprived of: 1) bubble tea, 2) avocado juice at my new workplace lor. =(
after work i went to church for prayer meeting. so long nv go for prayer meeting, i was actually wondering to go or not. During prayer meeting, ...beating around the Bush has just got another meaning for Americans. haha.. prayed for many groups of pple and got updates of other congregations and extensions of COR.
then went for supper with some m'kk pple. i felt hungry halfway during prayer meeting actually, but couldn't find a good time to go out and eat my green tea muffin. more like green bean muffin la. yucks. can't drink tea at night, so i ordered hot milo instead.
5th wed - OT everyday this week, and next week. plan already. dun ask me out.
had fish slice bee hoon at my office downstairs. paid FREAKING $5 for it! i will never eat that again.
6th thur - meeting with 2 clients. stress level went up.
received reply from the police regarding the "scam" i got myself into last week. turns out it was a scam after all. check out www.cad.gov.sg for similar scams like that.
received my debit card finally! instruction given was to sign on the back of the card immediately, but.. erm.. sign where?
reminded myself to pack bag for Psalmist retreat.
7th fri - today a bit not here. slept early last night but felt very sleepy today. tried to spread out my workload, but i can't seem to think and design anything today. on weekend mode already.
Check out today's Electric New Paper. There were a few reports on the similar scam too.

5. Surf the internet for inspiration. Yeah, just like game designers play games for ideas.

:: National Day stayover ::
my butt is aching.. sooo tired after a day out with my triplets and friends. haha.. my triplets are Faith and Junren, and my friends are Rj and Alvin.
wed was public holiday eve. a client asked me to stay back to upload some stuff on their website. i was sort of a middle person, because i had to pass the files to someone else to upload. and i had to wait till the person upload the files on the website before my client allowed me to leave =x haiz~ the guy seemed to have left his office earlier, so i could not reach him, so i had to inform the client tt there's no point in me staying to check the website since the guy had left. c'mon, it's public holiday eve! some companies would give their staff a half day off okay!
after work i went to Burlington Sq to meet my triplets. haa.. went to buy a pirated Sony Ericsson earpiece converter - to connect to a normal earphones plug. ****** SonyE to come up with UNIQUE products and peripherals. i had to buy a bigger memory card since i'm using the phone as a mp3 player as well. and then i can keep the thai phone at home till my sis comes to collect it back. but i didn't get the card though. didn't know it costs so much. grrr...
went up to junren's apartment and slack. chatted with him on msn and played msn games. haha yeah i know, we could just talk face to face ya. faith was playing an online game. started to get hungry around 9+pm, so we went for supper. Rochor beancurd was just a few minutes walk away. =P after we came back i went to take a shower. Alvin arrived. he brought dvds along, and i watched 300, the movie. couldn't quit laughing at the drag queen in the movie, Xerxes. haha.. didn't really catch the dialogue most of the time. had to ask Alvin what they were saying, since he's watched it 5 times! Jr's place has become a Lan shop. lol. he, alvin and faith were all playing online games.
then Rj arrived past midnight. he was quite tired, so he went to sleep. can't rem what we did, but faith and i went to sleep around 3am. haa.. chatted till we fell asleep. woke up around 9+am.. i gained an extra left eyelid these few days and felt v weird, like i had to force open my eyelids properly, but after blinking it droops down again. argh.. washed up and went out and realise the guys had not been sleeping well. they had to sleep on the sofa cuz they gave us the biggest bed. Jr is a super light sleeper.. both he and Rj woke up when they heard my camera's shutters. and i dunno why Rj was outside in the living room since he went to bed first.
went to buy BK breakfast with Jr. quite an expensive breakfast, since there must be some cheap good breakast around the area. guess we're all quite lazy. wanted to swim here, but procrastinated. haha.. before the stayover faith told me that both of us will go swimming while the guys play their games. and i was quite happy with the plan cuz i'm quite shy to go swimming with guy friends. haha. but she asked the guys to join in. anyway in the end we didn't go la.
we went to ECP to cycle. i rode on a double bike behind Rj. i must say he's good man. though my dad rides a motorbike, it's still more stable than a bicycle. to be able to ride a double bike with confidence is really zai man. i rem the last time i rode a double bike was with Hilwan, at pulau ubin. Weng Heng was also there. we went there for a photography session. really miss those times man. Wan was zai also, since the terrain at pulau ubin was much rougher and tougher.
the bike gave us really bad aching butt...and my whole groin area.. tt i wonder if tt's how it feels when u lose ur first time. *coughs* ... everytime Rj and i overtake the rest and gone too far in front we would stop and wait for them, and i would get off the bike and complain of a badly hurting butt. we had lunch at ECP hawker centre. ordered fried oysters, fried carrot cake, fried kuey tiao, fried hokkien mee and satay. =D thank God for healing me of my sickness that i could eat KFC (with my dad on tue) and all these stuff without having sore throat again. thank God for holding back the rain though it looked like it was going to rain anytime the whole day.
we got to a quieter part of ECP and alvin gave me a bicycle lesson. he was really very encouraging, and i could sense some progress in learning to cycle. i didn't master it yet, because i first have to overcome the lack of confidence. i never learnt much when i was young. i used to be quite proud tt my parents never forced me to take up extra lessons or whatever, when all my classmates were busy with piano lessons, ballet, swimming etc. but now i feel like i've lost out a lot in my childhood. sometimes i feel quite a failure, that so many pple can cycle like it's an easy feat while i can't. haiz.
after 3 hours it was time to return the bikes. then we went out to take bus back to Bugis. we had dinner at Koo Kee ramen & dumpling restaurant. hmm yummm.. had xiaolongbao and ramen. very satisfied. good food the whole time. hehe.. i was super stoned by that time and from dinner to back at the apartment i was just like a zombie. watched part of the National Day Parade on tv and waited for the fireworks. tried to catch it outside the window, but the view was blocked by other buildings. went home after that. Rj also left since he has school the next day. so only Faith and alvin stayed at Jr's place for another day. felt a bit cheated but i shan't say more.
took train from Little India station. thank God that i could have a seat though i was expecting a super crowded train after the NDP. my butt hurts esp when i am about to sit down and get up. =( slept late last night cuz i was busy transferring my contacts from my old phone to new phone. sooo tired.
these few days i'm shifting office from Kampong Bahru Rd to Hong Lim Complex. should have lotsa good food there, but it's further from Vivocity now. awww...

these few days i'm shifting office from Kampong Bahru Rd to Hong Lim Complex. should have lotsa good food there, but it's further from Vivocity now. awww...

:: invisible target & girl talk ::
went to watch a movie "Invisible Target" yesterday, by myself hoho~
i didn't like to watch movie by myself.. i've missed A LOT of movies that i had badly wanted to watch because i'd rather have company. i was surprised tt weiting watches movies by herself and doesn't seem bothered about it. so i've finally decided and told myself to just heck it and watch it myself.
boy i am sooo happy to have caught this movie. it's a HK movie directed by Benny Chan, starring Jaycee (Jackie Chan's son), Shawn Yue and Nicholas Tse (earning milk powder money)!! haha.. i like to catch HK shows with cute guys. but i realise it's not easy finding someone who shares common interest. =D
IT'S A GREAT MOVIE!! enjoy it totally. got some funny dialogues, fighting scenes just when i expected them (i'm serious!), and jaycee looks more n more like his daddy! esp when he tries to fight. haha.. there is a good ending too. not very happy, but at least my fav guys r alive. =P
i know very little abt shawn yue, but i have always been fascinated by how much he looks like nicholas tse. haha.. and nic's baby is born! really hope he'll continue to be a good husband and daddy.
i dun think i'll buy the vcd when it comes out, because it's not like in another language where i have to watch it again to catch the joke/story. but i'll be anticipating its tv premier. =)

:: Split Second ::
i'm so disappointed in last night's ending of Split Second - HK drama on Channel U at 10pm!!!
ALL the main characters died!!!
very interesting twist to the usual happy endings.. i would say it's very bold of the script writer to try this style. and i appreciate the HK-Thai ties for this drama.. i wonder if the director is HK or Thai. u gotta tell the actors from both countries to coordinate. i would say it's marvellous.
and i realise the Thai main actor is also the lead actor from Bangkok Robbery. Somehow halfway thru the drama it occurred to me that they are the same person, then i took out my VCD and compared the actor's name. haha.. he looks much younger and better in Split Second.
and haha i like the show mainly because of the guys in it. =P i got really sian when they all died! Esp Sam, the Thai actor, he died because he refused to go hospital after he was shot. he went to buy flowers for the girl he liked and died bleeding. Dong also, he could have gone to hospital after getting shot (by the same guy - argh!), but he insisted on going to find his girl. and then it ended. =( !!!
i'm a sucker for happy endings!!

:: troubled ::
i just went out for a walk during my lunch break, and came back feeling quite troubled. haha..
went to Spottiswoode... there were benches in front of a playground, but i didn't stop there, because there were grasscutters trimming the grass there. it was quite noisy as well as dangerous to be near them.
so i walked on... saw a few women smoking. they look like prostitutes who frequent the pubs & bars around my workplace.
and i walked on.. trying to find somewhere to rest. then i saw an old woman who kept staring at me. i stared back, wondering what she's thinking abt. something in my mind told me to go over and sit beside her and say hi. but i walked past thru another path, under a HDB block. sat down for a while near a basketball court. felt rather peaceful, enough to fall asleep. but i was concerned abt the ants around me. so i got up, deciding that i would go over to the old woman and say hi.
she had got up to find somewhere else to go, so i walked past her, half smiling to her. i went to near where she had sat and near the prostitutes. the old woman looked like she was looking for something under a block. i saw a cat on the path i came from (u can imagine me walking back and forth the same path) and went to play with it. it was kinda scared of me so i didn't get to play with it. i just kept looking at it until i realise the old woman was looking at me. she had found another spot to sit. so i nodded to her as a greeting. she seemed happy and tried to tell me something, so i walked nearer to her.
she started talking to me in Hokkien. honestly the whole conversation i probably understood only 10%! and she kept touching my arm to get my attention whenever i look away. =x halfway through i suddenly wondered whether this was a dream or not. i believe God is in control la huh. she was trying to tell me abt her zha bor kia, ta bor kia, ang, etc... i think her daughter lives on the 11th floor of the block and she has the keys to the 3-room flat but doesn't want to go in. and she told me abt taking taxi and taking bus. she doesn't know how to take the Choa Chu Kang LRT.. while talking she also grabbed my upper arm and asked me why it's so cold, is it because i bathe in cold water. she asked do i live in blk 106, i struggled to explain in Hokkien that i work in an office. she even started to dust my tshirt... felt a bit awkward. that's abt all i understand. then when she mentioned "gao deng" (church) and "bai xin" (pray to idol) i told her i "xin ya so" (believe in Jesus). dunno what she was trying to say, like telling me it's not good. =x
then she asked me whether i eat already, i said not yet, and she urged me to go and eat. so i went back to office, feeling like i was Alice in Wonderland. haha..
another disturbing thing was, i saw a trail of blood around my workplace. okay, if u dunno where i work, it's one of the shophouses facing the road. there got LOTS of pubs and it's not very safe to stay late at work. i followed the blood trail from one end of the row of shophouses to the other. quite scary.. as if someone was running for his life. it wasn't a lot of blood, but it made me wonder what happened last night. was there a fight?
hmmm... i kinda wish some nice guy out there would read my blog and decide that my workplace is too dangerous for me to go home alone... hee...

S.Korean Hostage Crisis: New deadline 3.30pm today
The Taliban killed 1 more hostage. Assholes. Imagine their frustration if we just don't care about the pple they've held hostage. They won't be able to get what they want. But this can never happen. If it does, humanity is in trouble.
Our weakness is that we cannot fight back because of the lives of the hostages, we may have to give in eventually (dunno what the government is planning). But in our weakness God's strength is found. God will make a way for the pple He loves and are persecuted.
Here in Singapore life still goes on for most of us. Who would get down on their knees and pray for the Koreans? Who would fast for them? I'm troubled but I haven't been praying much. Let's call each other up to pray for these brothers and sisters.

:: sick ::
last time i went bkk i took leave on a fri. came back sick and had to take MC the following wed. this time i took leave last fri, went to indonesia over the weekend and had to take MC the following wed. haha.
got a sore throat from eating the gorengan from balai. =( how i know it caused my sore throat? because i started feeling unwell in my throat since sunday night.
monday it got worse and tuesday i lost my voice.
my fault for not watching what i eat. haha.. monday went out with Juliana, my excolleague, sorta her belated birthday meetup. we went to Earle Swensen's at Vivocity. ordered Calamari and seafood pasta. calamari wasn't nice and yet very fried. :S tried to sing when i got home. haha. Evermore by Planetshakers.
tuesday went to Tiong Bahru plaza to meet my sec sch pals to celebrate Kwek's bday. we had dinner at Rajahinn. A steamboat buffet place. i didn't really have much appetite but i could still eat la. got home and felt like singing the Doxology. dunno y but thank God that the moment i got home my throat seemed to clear and i was able to sing. but at night i felt feverish, unable to sleep. felt terrible, like going to die. was quite worried that it might be dengue. kept waking up to go toilet.
today went to see doc. took MC. doc says it's just common flu. thank God, nothing serious. maybe it's stress from work. i feel much better after taking medicine.

:: Worship 07 ::
yeah i was saying, i took leave for some rest. been having practices for Worship 07 on thurs and fri is THE DAY. so i didn't want to rush around too much. actually i needed to buy something, so i told myself to go out, and be back by 1pm for more rest at home. but i ended up taking photos of my collection (see below) until 1pm! went for lunch with my mom and aunts at Outram Park. i was really shocked that my aunts had ordered... 4 fish dishes + 2 veg dishes ++! i've never eaten so much fish in a meal before. :S collected my HK + BKK photos that i asked my aunt to develop. whee~
took train to bugis. wanted to go bras basah to look for a specific assessment book for Phei Phei. Popular bookstore don't have, despite its 4-level big-sized branch. weird. so i went around other shops to look for it. i must buy it before going to church, or else i would have no more chance to find it. took quite long at that. finally managed to find it at a small bookshop there. wanted to also go to Dashing Diva clearance sale, but it started pouring. reluctantly i had to go home. wanted to rest, take a shower, but i realise i was late already. haiz. shopping took too much time.
Worship07 was great. i had asked weiting, judy, and swee yi along, but all not free. haiz. i'm quite upset with swee yi lor. always ask her out but she busy, and when she's free she didn't even think of asking me out, assuming i would not be free. she said she would be going ktv with her friends on fri. my first thought was, how come u nv ask me along! i know i won't be free to go, but she didn't even bother to ask! i think i have just lost a friend. u know, since January judy tried to ask us all out but all the while we didn't manage to. whenever i call her she say she's busy and will call me back, in the end she didn't. argh. i'm upset because it mattered a lot to me. =(
anyway, besides that, i was saying Worship07 was great. felt that we actually didn't prac enough, but just go as the Spirit leads lor. very free flow. went overtime, but, it's normal la. hehe.
after that went for supper with my cell grp and Agape. actually, i was at Al-Azhar with Agape only. my cell grp went for duck rice. Elohim was at Al-Ameen. after Agape went back i went to find my cell grp guys and we went to look for Elohim. haha.. to chat. There's this guy called Ryan who was from RV. again i don't recognise him. oh i think i forgot to mention that there was one day i went to look for my mom for lunch and then we went to New Balance factory outlet near her workplace. Then there was this guy called Shawn who recognised me. i wonder how come i have no idea who he is at all. he said he was from RV... =x okay back to this Ryan, he remembers that i was from choir, and that i know Zhengnian. haha. a rather handsome but paikia junior. ;) jialat la, where was i in sec sch man. how come pple rem me but i dun have any recollection of these pple at all.
Kelvin sent me home. wahh so touched. jayce asked whether we live near each other, and i replied, "actually, we live worlds apart". haha.. i think i really need to learn driving liao la. not everyone can be so willing to send me all the way home one lor. so on the journey i keep asking him abt driving and cars. reached home abt 2+am. packed my bag for Tj Balai.

Passing Remark - Ep.1
I think models should be a little more ...meaty .... Like me. Like most people. That way normal people will know whether certain clothes fit us or not. If nice clothes are meant only for skinny people, then... i have nothing to say. For international designer clothes brand targetting asians, their models should be asians.
Between western and jap fashion styles, i would choose to follow jap. between jap and thai/hk styles, i'd go for the latter. i appreciate being an asian more and more.
graphic design-wise i also think so. feel that american design is losing out to asian's nowadays. HA HA!

:: driving?? ::
7 July Sat
Special Day! 07.07.07 - a good reason to be welcome the cell grp with this lame opening.
Planned games for cell grp. Did Bible Trivia. hope they enjoyed it.
worship prac.
sun
Sunday service. Sermon on Habakkuk 1. lunch with cell grp at Marina Sq. No choir prac today! finally can get to rest one weekend. went to Sentosa after that. Sort of a personal retreat. hmmm Sentosa is more n more commercialised. no longer my haven. sigh. I took monorail in to Beach Station, queued up for the tram to Palawan, Tanjong Beach. Instead of the tram i got a minibus instead. ok la, aircon lor. but i prefer open-air leh. haha. after the ride i changed to take the tram to Siloso Beach. I think they alternate trams and minibuses la. "suay-suay" kena minibus again. >.< hahahaha. finally decided to find a spot to read the Bible and just listen to the waves. sigh~~~~~ just beside me was a couple making out. And not far away i could hear music playing from Cafe Del Mar or one of those pubs in the area. and screams of people as they get dragged and thrown into the sea for fun. there was quite a big group of Thai kids, wonder if they're here to study.
i couldn't medidate... my heart was on something. someone. so frustrating.
mon
Andrielle passed her driving test! hmm... went to shirley's house with her for vocal practice. hehe. waited very long for bus 64!! next time i will take MRT instead. thought bus would be faster and more direct since my workplace is very near bukit merah.
shirley cooked beef don for us. YUMMY!~~~ i understand onions are there to make it taste and smell better. just that i mind sinking my teeth into them. haha.. at first i thought one bowl of rice would not be enough for me, but i have been fasting lunch (on and off la) so i shouldn't eat too much at dinner. when we started prac singing i felt very full. haha.. my stomach is slow la. not bad i think i have a better understanding of diaphragms. i must have been using it to sing la, if not i think my voice quality would have been worse. but i need to understand it better to utilise it better. i still dun understand my sec sch choir conductor J Tham's analogy of imagining i have noses at my waist.
played with Shirley's Wii~! honestly i had no idea what it was until i tried using it. was fascinated that it makes sounds and vibrates as alerts. played bowling and tennis with it. haha..
after that shirley had a conference for work, so andrielle and i made our way back. i started considering whether i shld learn driving or not. i have always been a scaredy-cat when it comes to operating vehicles.
hmm, some reasons to learn driving:
1. my dad's driving is getting from bad to worse, i want to learn and next time drive him around
2. a car can bring my whole family out. my dad's motorbike can't.
3. i can leave my files / books / etc etc in a car. when i was still a student i wished my dad drove a car so that i could do my homework last min on the way to school. when i was taking O Levels i wished i could revise last min on the way to school. also, there was once i fell asleep on the journey to sch. i could have fallen off the bike!
4. it's a useful skill la. (just attended a wedding dinner on 14 July, my uncle drank quite a bit, and his wife had to take the wheel) i'm not asking for a drunkard husband though.
5. i used to have a childhood dream, that i would drive my jeep all the way from Singapore to Hong Kong and then settle there. and my travelling companion would take turns with me, to drive or sleep.
6. sometimes i feel quite sad that my cell grp leave me out in informal outings like supper just because i live so far.
and now some reasons not to:
1. i can't afford a car! and fuel, maintenance, etc etc.. even licence itself costs as much as my public transport budget for the whole year.
2. the money could be better spent.
3. public transport is cheaper - and faster to town at peak hours
4. i can't even handle a bicycle.
5. there are lotsa road hazards out there besides myself
6. i would need 110% attention and energy to drive safely - often i can't afford that
tue
went to Bugis to meet chuinfang to return her VCDs i borrowed since poly days. oh my goodness. hahaha.. had beijing ramen and xiaolongbao. yummy~! Bugis street is so like Bangkok Suan Lum Night Bazaar!! u can find message t-shirts there! but i didn't ask for the price la. bought 2 tops. heehee.. i wanna go there more often to shop :P oopss i guess i just demonstrated how deprived i am. i mean, because i didn't even know Bugis Street is so cool. haha. i must have not been there for YEARS.
wed
hmmm... i kinda rem going somewhere. i'll update this part when i can rem.
sat
shared word for cell grp. About Habakkuk 1, a recap, as well as go thru for chapter 2. did a different approach, because i can't find anything factual to share about this character Habakkuk.
went for wedding dinner as mentioned briefly above. my parents dragged me there. my dad told me to go in his place because he was tired. in the end he turned up too! heard that some pple couldn't make it so there were spaces. the groom is his cousin. haha.. quite cute to know that my dad has cousins. oh i'm sure he has, but i've NEVER seen them before. somemore so young, just getting married. the dinner was at The Sentosa Resort. been there before for Alan & Zane's wedding dinner, 14 June (forgot which yr). and this day is 14 July. cool. haha.
went home late.
ahh share more another day la. it's late now, 7.30pm, i should have knocked off already.

3. i can leave my files / books / etc etc in a car. when i was still a student i wished my dad drove a car so that i could do my homework last min on the way to school. when i was taking O Levels i wished i could revise last min on the way to school. also, there was once i fell asleep on the journey to sch. i could have fallen off the bike!
4. it's a useful skill la. (just attended a wedding dinner on 14 July, my uncle drank quite a bit, and his wife had to take the wheel) i'm not asking for a drunkard husband though.
5. i used to have a childhood dream, that i would drive my jeep all the way from Singapore to Hong Kong and then settle there. and my travelling companion would take turns with me, to drive or sleep.
6. sometimes i feel quite sad that my cell grp leave me out in informal outings like supper just because i live so far.
and now some reasons not to:
1. i can't afford a car! and fuel, maintenance, etc etc.. even licence itself costs as much as my public transport budget for the whole year.
2. the money could be better spent.
3. public transport is cheaper - and faster to town at peak hours
4. i can't even handle a bicycle.
5. there are lotsa road hazards out there besides myself
6. i would need 110% attention and energy to drive safely - often i can't afford that

went for wedding dinner as mentioned briefly above. my parents dragged me there. my dad told me to go in his place because he was tired. in the end he turned up too! heard that some pple couldn't make it so there were spaces. the groom is his cousin. haha.. quite cute to know that my dad has cousins. oh i'm sure he has, but i've NEVER seen them before. somemore so young, just getting married. the dinner was at The Sentosa Resort. been there before for Alan & Zane's wedding dinner, 14 June (forgot which yr). and this day is 14 July. cool. haha.

:: Will you love me fur ever? ::
Oh i am so in love with this puppy!
This chihuahua puppy literally wears its heart on its sleeve.
The cute male pooch, born with a perfect heart-shaped patch on its side, has been suitably named Heartkun by its owner in northern Japan.
The one-and-a-half-month-old pup was born as one of a big litter, but is the only new arrival to sport such a heart-warming coat.
According to owner Emiko Sakurada, this is the first occasion a puppy with such marks had been born out of the more than one thousand chihuahuas she has bred.
