Time: Around 9pm
I looked at the dark grey T-shirt, on it, its written “Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you gonna get.” At the bottom left of the T-shirt is a picture of a bench, below is written “Forrest Gump”.
Me: “Its very obvious.”
Mr Buddy: “What?”
Me: “Its really really obvious.”
Mr Buddy: “What?”
Me: “Its really obvious that you don’t like me.”
Mr Buddy: “Why lei?”
Me: “Because the T-shirt you give me is uglier than the one you gave Mr Fly.” (Then Mr Buddy and Mr Fly both laughed)
Mr Buddy claimed that the T-shirt he gave me is a Hong Kong International Film Festival limited edition T-shirt. He bought the T-shirt for me because he thinks I am a philosophical person. -_-”
Mr Buddy then told us stories about his trip to Hong Kong like how he narrowly escaped being killed 2 TIMES by cars, about the great night life there, the really lousy motel(what do you expect its a MOTEL) and of course most importantly, the beautiful girls from the Oriental Pearl. Mr Fly as usual, talk about his work(boring). Its always great to see them again and to hear our melodious synchronized laughter. I bet the whole Mac could hear us laugh out loud. We couldnt care less. It has always been fun talking to them, even as simple as talking about what to eat can be funny. :)
Looking at them, I suddenly realize that the 3 of us will be 24 years old this year(oh no!). Time really flies like the blink of an eye. The 3 of us are still single and enjoying it. The both of them are working now while I am still studying. Haiz... Sometimes I feel that I am taking the longer route in life. Then there is always this drag that I need to go out to work. How I wish sometimes that I didnt grow up, always be a kid, indulging in the realms of fantasy and fun.
I am not sure whether life is like a box of chocolates or not. But I do know one thing for sure, and that is life is too important to be taken seriously.

Ice Ice Baby
Today I met Ms Kitten, Ms Ginger, Ms Ice, Mr Fly for lunch at Tiong Bahru Plaza. And then I realise Ms Ice doesnt talk much and often talk to Ms Ginger only. I reckon I gave it a shot. So I said,
Me: "Are you shy?"
Ms Ice: "........."
Me: "I have been sitting here for 5 minutes and you haven even say hi to me."
Ms Ice: "Why must I say hi to you, you should say hi to me first."
Before they left, I try another time,
Me: "Are you not going to say goodbye to me?"
Ms Ice: "You say goodbye to me first lor."
And then she walk away. Cool... Icy.... And then Ms Ice has a classical expression. She likes to open her eyes and stare with a "I cant believe it" expression. I know I am hot but then you dont have to stare at me until like that right.
I went to Orchard with Mr Fly cos he wanted a haircut and then we had dinner at Long John Silver. I received a sms from Mr Rooster, this is part of it,
Mr Rooster: I do consider you as my friend. :) But I know you normally will do the opposite of what people say. But really consider stay on. Anyway just concentrate on doing a good degree.
He knows me really well. Haha... Doing opposite of what people tell me to do. Even Mr Fly says I am a rebellious person. Actually I dont do it on purpose, sometimes yes, but sometimes its because I do things in the unconventional way and people cannot accept it. So far I got some friends who ask me to stay on and some who ask me to make the jump and go for what I like.
I would like to thank my friends for the advices and support like, Mr Rooster, Mr Gump, Mr Fly, Mr Nose, Ms Pikachu, Ms Pooh, Wise Tiger and the rest. Its all nicks but you know who you are. It really bring a tear to my eye when I hear your encouragements.
Today Mr Buddy is flying back from Hong Kong and I haven told him about my decision to switch school yet. I cant wait to see the shock on his face.......
Me: "Are you shy?"
Ms Ice: "........."

Follow my heart
Yesterday I sat on my bed and was seriously contemplating changing my course of studies. Its not as simple as changing from SIM-UOL Banking and Finance to other courses like UOL's Business but a bigger ONE. I thought of changing school. I am considering studying Mass Communication from Oklahama City University, a US university.
I am always interested in doing advertising and marketing, basically things that need your imagination and freedom of expression. I followed my head to take SIM-UOL cos its 1 of the most recognised if not the most recognised among private schools. I realise business is pretty theoractical and technical. Basically its reading, reading and more READING! I love to read but then reading theories is another story.
I decided to tell my Mum about my decision and dilemma, you know she is my financier, I got to account to her,
Me: "Mummy, I am thinking of changing school..." (waiting for the world to collaspe)
Mummy: "So what you want to study." (I was stunned, how come there is no repurcussion??)
Me: "I am thinking of taking up Mass Comm..." (maybe this is it)
Mummy: "Well... You need to find out more and study what you like." (whats going on?)
Me: "How come you are so cool about it?" (My mum always scold me for anything even for my father's fault)
Mummy: "Its your money what."
Me: "........." -_-" (I see)
Surprisingly my Mum is supportive of my decision. Probably one reason is that I told her that this time I would be taking part time instead of full time, and I will be looking for a job to finance myself. I had a friend Mr Robin who once told me, it takes a lot of guts to give up something and do what you like. He is one of them. He has a degree in business from NTU and he works in Campus Crusade for not a very high pay. He could have a higher pay in the private sector. He got a wife and a daughter to support somemore. Admirable...
At the moment, I have only told a few friends. Today I was also surprised by Mr Gump's support. He is more of a practical and logical person. A person who follows his head. He told me its better to change now when I am in yr 1 then when I am in yr 3. He says he can see that Maths and Stats to me are HIV and H5N1. (-_-" what a description) I expect Mr Fly to screw me upside down for wasting time and money cos he is a pratical-makes-lots-of -money person. Mr Buddy most likely will screw me for fun, laugh and then tell me to go ahead.The worst are my relatives I reckon.
It takes a lot of guts to give up something which you have put in a lot of effort and time. Just like a course of study or a relationship thats not working. This time I am going to follow my heart.... Why?... Because we all only live once.....

LoSt in the TrAin of ThouGhts
Yesterday I went to meet Mr Rooster to study at Bishan. It was a pretty long journey from Boon Lay to Bishan even by MRT. I was sitting down and then I look at the railings with all the hand grips, and then I saw myself and Ms K holding on to the hand grips talking to each other, the train was crowded, and then I said,
Me: "EH... Can you stop rubbing your eyes?"(she was rubbing her eyes with her 2 index fingers)
Ms K: "........" (she was pouting cos I scolded her)
Me: "Do you know how dirty the hand grips are? People dig their nose, go toilet didnt wash their hands and then hold the grips. You use your fingers to RUB your eyes. You know how much germs there are??!!"
Ms K: "Yes Sir!" (she salute me and then stamp her foot smiling)
Seeing Ms K cute expression, I cant help but smile and I think sometimes I was too harsh with her.
And then I realise the 2 figures(me and Ms K) slowly disappeared in front of me and I was back to reality and found myself sitting there smiling to myself.
Then it dawn on me that I was alone.....

How to Ask a girl out and other theories
What prompt me to write this article is because I have friends and fans from all over the world asking me about this. Today I was already asked this question twice, once from Wise Tiger in US and Crazy Su from Australia. I even had queries from Singapore, none other than my favourite buddy, Mr Buddy. Last Thursday, Mr Buddy and I were sitting at the bus stop when suddenly he turn to me and say,
Mr Buddy: "Eh... I think I had forgot how to ask a girl out."
Me: "........." (I was stunned)
I was stunned because Mr Buddy is a pretty cocky and confident person plus he is funny. Yet he had this "problem". Well... I am not a Guru nor a expert, luckily I have friends who CLAIMED and THINK they are experts. Here are a few examples,
Make up a Story to ask a girl out: (credit goes to Weird Tiger and his cousins)
Boy: "Hello, I have 2 free movie tickets to this movie this Saturday, you wanna go?
Girl: "How come you got 2 free movie tickets?" (girls are always curious)
Boy: "Oh... My friend just broke up with his girlfriend and he had already booked the tickets, so he gave it to me. So you wanna go?"
Girl: "Oh... Ok."
Before you ask the girl out, you need to find out what movies she want to see and have not seen yet. VERY IMPORTANT! Cos if you got 2 free movie tickets to a movie she had watch before, then adios. So the best bet is to buy tickets of new movies, most likely she haven seen it yet. You need to buy or book the tickets first but if you are a last minute guy, and realise that the tickets are sold out for that day, dont worry I have a solution for you,
Solution: (credit goes to Mr Buddy)
Boy: "Hello, I do not have the 2 free movie tickets anymore. Sorry."
Girl: "Erm... What happened?"
Boy: "My friend had already patch up with his girlfriend."
The next example you are looking at is the conventional way with a twist: (credit to Mr Kiwi who is now in New Zealand)
Boy: "Do you want to go out this Saturday?"
Girl: "Who else is going?"
At this moment you have 2 choices:
Your balls shrink and you say,
(a) Boy: "I haven ask anyone yet." or
Boy: "You are the first one I ask."
You have balls and you say,
(b) Boy: "Only me and you."
I heard of a innovative way to find out whether a girl likes you or not, and this is the one: (credit goes to Mr Japan for telling me and he claims Mr Fly invented this which he strongly denies)
While walking on the street with the girl, look for a guy, who you think strongly resembles you and belongs to your pattern and proceed to say the following:
Boy: "Did you see that guy over there?"
Girl: "Ya... Why?"
Boy: "Will you like this type of guy?"
Girl: "I guess so."
Boy: "Then I think you will like me."
I seriously do not understand the rationale behind this. And then Mr Fly still insisted he didnt say it.
For the above examples and methodology, I do not take credit for it and I absolutely do not guarantee that it works. Besides I haven even try it myself. So if there are any backfires and screw ups, its YOUR fault. For any courageous men who had try it, I will appreciate your feedback and comments. This is for the good of mankind.
I would like to give credit to the following people for telling me their exploits and theories and make me laugh when I think of it. It was really funny and amusing, the following nominees are:
Mr Buddy (appeared in the movies Team 424 and My Buddy & Me)
My Fly (appeared in the movies Team 424 and House Fly & Pineapple Tart)
Mr Cliff (appeared in the movies When Ms Peach meets Mr Pineapple and Courship or Torture??)
Mr Barbarian (appeared in the movie Team 424)
Mr Nose (appeared in the movie Dreaming Miss K and Ocean Seven)
Wierd Tiger (appeared in the movie The Story Of the 6 Tigers of Jurong Institute)
The WINNER is....... Mr Pineapple Tat!! Thank you people... I would like to thank myself and only MYSELF. Of course I won. I am the main character you know....

A passing of a April shower
I look at the sky outside, it was raining heavily. I just had a hair cut at Shaw Towers and then I made a call,
Me: "Hello, eh... Where are you now ah?"
Ms April: "In the train."
Me: "Is your place raining?"
Ms April: "No... Why?"
Me: "Cos its raining heavily now at Bugis. DID you bring an umbrella?"
Ms April: "Ya... You didnt bring meh?"
Me: "Heng... Cos I didnt bring and at least we can share."
And then I ran through the rain to Bugis MRT station and then took a train to Doby Ghaut MRT station. By that time the rain has stopped. I was early so I waited and waited and WAITED... Hey man where is she?? Then I received a sms,
Ms April: Eh... Where are you ah?
Me: Contol station.
Ms April: I am at plaza sing liao. Where should I meet you?
I did not bother to reply... -_-" Cos she came earlier than me yet she did not tell me she had reached. Thanks lei... I then meet her at the entrance.
We went to eat at Pasta Mania and then I told her to queue up to buy food. She refused. Instead she quickly took out her money and gave it to me, to escape the responsibility I had given her. I went to queue up reluctantly. After we went to walk around while waiting for the movie "Yours, Mine and Ours" to start. We were at Espirit when she stop in front of the sunglasses section.
Ms April: "I like a sunglass from Gucci, which cost about $200. And another from xxx (cant remember the brand) which costs $900."
Me: "Wo... You sure got expensive taste. Are you hinting me AGAIN?" (her birthday is coming)
Ms April: "No... Why should I?"
Me: "Haha... Well.... You can continue to feel good about the price."
The movie started.... Man with 8 kids meet woman with 10 kids, fell in love and move in together. The kids hated each other and try to break up their parents. When they finally succeeded. They realised they were wrong and in fact get along well with each other. They try to patch up their parents. It was a lovely movie, it moved me and Ms April cried and I laughed at her. She asked me why I laughed at her. I told her I was laughing cos the movie has ended. (I wasnt, I was really laughing at her for crying)
After that we went to eat toast at Ya Kun, I suddenly had a craving for food. This time I told her it was her turn to queue up for food. I quickly took out my money and gave it to her and I said please. (always works) She show a face and reluctantly went to buy. Nice.... :) (everyone needs to contribute to the outing you know)
Throughout the outing, all Ms April did was laugh. I know I am humourous but you need to contribute to the CONVERSATION. I told her in that way, she would be more interesting to the opposite sex. She told me she is a quiet girl. Funnily she had admirers. (I seriously dont know where they come from)
Me: "Hey, how come you get second dates from your admirers when you are boring?" (sly smile)
Ms April: "I dont know lei...." (amused about my question)
Ms April: "Then how come you go out with me the second time?"
Me: "Cos I want to watch movies during weekdays afternoon and you are the most FREE." (she is jobless now)
Ms April sometimes speaks too softly and at times monotonous.
Me: "Can I call you at night before I sleep?" (sounding unserious)
Ms April: "Why lei?" (sound stunned)
Me: "So that I can fall asleep when I hear your monotonous voice." (laughing now)
Ms April: "..........." -_-"(this is her expression literally.... nice... hehe)
Me: "And when you say hello... hello... and no one replies. You can put down the phone. I am probably asleep." (haha)
To give Ms April some credit, she did talk and she is quite an expert in matters of the heart. Well... She had one VERY strong point, and that she is a woman of great taste. I know, because she laughs at whatever I say.....

Jack and the Beanstalk
Me: "You know what?"
Mr Giant: "What?"
Me: "You are big and useless!"
Mr Giant: "You know what is worse than being big and useless?!"
Me: "What?"
Mr Giant: "Small and useless and thats you!"
Me: "..........." -_-"
Mr Giant is one head taller than me (he has quite a big head), his shoulder length is one and a half times mine and he has very hairy legs. During our vocation course, he was very quiet and he hang out by himself. And then he moved into my bunk. He was not that a loner, just takes more time to warm up to people.
We sleep next to each other, often during his free time, he would be lying on his bed shaking his legs and read a book. At times, we would talk about life and I would ask for his advice on matters, while I would offer mine, he would stick to his. Because he is more down to earth and my ideas are more out of the world. Sometimes I would advise him this way,
Me: "You know what you need."
Mr Giant: "What?"
Me: "You need a psychiatrist and you need ME."
Mr Giant: "Haha!" (he was amused)
Me: "I usually charge $30 an hour but since you are my friend, I will give you 50% discount, $15 will do."
Mr Giant: "Haha!" (laughing heartily)
Well... He did not accept my offer. It was a pretty good deal you know.
During army we had to learn ACCT (advance close combat training), we had to do this sparing element where we would be padded up and use the pugil stick (long thick padded stick) to whack each other. Mr Giant was pretty big size and had done bodybuilding before. Well he was my sparing partner. In fact, I volunteered to fight him, he should pick someone his own size and I feel I was more than up to it. Hehe. Even before our fateful fight that day, I had always talk about how I am going to kick his ass one day.
Me: "Hey, do you know what is my nickname?"
Mr Giant: "What?"
Me: "Giant-Slayer."
Mr Giant: "Hahaha!" (clearly amused)
Me: "Dont laugh, I will kick your ass man."
Mr Giant: "Hahahaha!" (even more amused)
Me: "Dont you know about David and Goliath, Jack and the Beanstalk?! The little guy always beat the bigger guy."
Mr Giant: "Hahahahahahaha!"
Do you know why he laugh? Because he was scared. Hehheh.
On that fateful day, we fought. It was a tough fight. After the smoke is gone and the dust has settled, he told me I was the most agressive of his sparing partners. I took it that he has admitted defeat although he was still standing up.
Besides competing on our physical strengths, we also compete on our intelligence. I told him,
Me: "You know how they always say that the smaller guy is smarter than the bigger guy."
Mr Giant: "Its not true."
Me: "Its true, just look at me and you."
Mr Giant: "Hahahaha." (always amused, I wonder why)
Later we had an agreement, we would be "twang" (slacking) buddies. We would work together and slack, I mean rest together. We would eat together often at the Muslim canteen in the morning after our work. Everytime he was with me, I feel like I have a bodyguard, nobody believes that I am actually the one protecting him.
Thanks to Mr Giant, we had a pharmacy at bunk. He was pretty health conscious and knows something about medicine. He was our in-bunk doctor. His locker has all kinds of drugs. We would ask him for medical advice and ask him whether he had any drugs for us. I suspect he is a drug peddler or some kind of Columbian drug lord.
Due to the fact that he was the last to move in to our bunk, he was consider a newbie. I always ask him to clear the rubbish bin as he slept nearest to it and he was new. I ask him to do all kinds of chores, sweep the floor, wipe the windows and clean the lockers. He asked why. I told him because he was a newbie and was considered the lowest rank.
Now Mr Giant is in SMU. I wish him all the best in his studies and his life. We will meet up after his exams. I hope he dont feel bitter that I kick his ass once.......
Mr Giant: "What?"
Me: "You are big and useless!"
Mr Giant: "You know what is worse than being big and useless?!"
Me: "What?"
Mr Giant: "Small and useless and thats you!"
Me: "..........." -_-"
Mr Giant is one head taller than me (he has quite a big head), his shoulder length is one and a half times mine and he has very hairy legs. During our vocation course, he was very quiet and he hang out by himself. And then he moved into my bunk. He was not that a loner, just takes more time to warm up to people.
We sleep next to each other, often during his free time, he would be lying on his bed shaking his legs and read a book. At times, we would talk about life and I would ask for his advice on matters, while I would offer mine, he would stick to his. Because he is more down to earth and my ideas are more out of the world. Sometimes I would advise him this way,
Me: "You know what you need."
Mr Giant: "What?"
Me: "You need a psychiatrist and you need ME."
Mr Giant: "Haha!" (he was amused)
Me: "I usually charge $30 an hour but since you are my friend, I will give you 50% discount, $15 will do."
Mr Giant: "Haha!" (laughing heartily)
Well... He did not accept my offer. It was a pretty good deal you know.
During army we had to learn ACCT (advance close combat training), we had to do this sparing element where we would be padded up and use the pugil stick (long thick padded stick) to whack each other. Mr Giant was pretty big size and had done bodybuilding before. Well he was my sparing partner. In fact, I volunteered to fight him, he should pick someone his own size and I feel I was more than up to it. Hehe. Even before our fateful fight that day, I had always talk about how I am going to kick his ass one day.
Me: "Hey, do you know what is my nickname?"
Mr Giant: "What?"
Me: "Giant-Slayer."
Mr Giant: "Hahaha!" (clearly amused)
Me: "Dont laugh, I will kick your ass man."
Mr Giant: "Hahahaha!" (even more amused)
Me: "Dont you know about David and Goliath, Jack and the Beanstalk?! The little guy always beat the bigger guy."
Mr Giant: "Hahahahahahaha!"
Do you know why he laugh? Because he was scared. Hehheh.
On that fateful day, we fought. It was a tough fight. After the smoke is gone and the dust has settled, he told me I was the most agressive of his sparing partners. I took it that he has admitted defeat although he was still standing up.
Besides competing on our physical strengths, we also compete on our intelligence. I told him,
Me: "You know how they always say that the smaller guy is smarter than the bigger guy."
Mr Giant: "Its not true."
Me: "Its true, just look at me and you."
Mr Giant: "Hahahaha." (always amused, I wonder why)
Later we had an agreement, we would be "twang" (slacking) buddies. We would work together and slack, I mean rest together. We would eat together often at the Muslim canteen in the morning after our work. Everytime he was with me, I feel like I have a bodyguard, nobody believes that I am actually the one protecting him.
Thanks to Mr Giant, we had a pharmacy at bunk. He was pretty health conscious and knows something about medicine. He was our in-bunk doctor. His locker has all kinds of drugs. We would ask him for medical advice and ask him whether he had any drugs for us. I suspect he is a drug peddler or some kind of Columbian drug lord.
Due to the fact that he was the last to move in to our bunk, he was consider a newbie. I always ask him to clear the rubbish bin as he slept nearest to it and he was new. I ask him to do all kinds of chores, sweep the floor, wipe the windows and clean the lockers. He asked why. I told him because he was a newbie and was considered the lowest rank.

My Buddy and Me
Me: "You are a jinx man!"
Mr Buddy: "Me?! You are the jinx lah."
Me: "How is it possible that we can go to Suntec, Millenia Walk and then Marina Square and not find even one perfume shop? Its your fault!" (we have been walking for like 2 hours)
Mr Buddy: "You are the one who brings me bad luck."
Me: "You are the one. Go out with you very sua(unlucky) lei."
Mr Buddy: "Ah na... I am very tired I want to sit down."
Me: "You are pretty weak."
Mr Buddy: "..........." -_-"
We finally found what we wanted at Raffles Shopping Centre. At that time the salesman told me buying the 125ml Polo Black Cologne entitles me to a free Ralph Lauren travel bag. Mr Buddy somehow hint to me that he needs the bag cos he was going to Hong Kong. Of course I give it to him being the generous person I am. Haha. Going to shop with him for men clothes is pretty fun cos he is into shopping(I know its a bit gay for guys). Thus he gives good opinions and knows something about clothes.
Mr Buddy has a glaring shortcoming. He is always late. There was a time I waited for him like almost half an hour or more. I called him,
Me: "Eh... Where are you?"
Mr Buddy: "I am still at home." (at this moment I wanted to whoop him)
Me: "Eh... You need so much time to apply your make-up?"
Mr Buddy: "Hahaha... Something crop up at home."
Me: "Ya right... How come you got so many things happen at home one?"
Mr Buddy: "Really...." (thats what he always says)
And then one day I thought I was finally later than him, that makes me happy but I was mistaken. He sms me,
Mr Buddy: Where are you? (I thought this is an indication that I was late)
Me: I am still in the train.
When I reach Jurong East MRT station, I look around and I cant find him, so I called him.
Me: "Eh.. Where are you ah? I thought I am late."
Mr Buddy: "I am still in the bus. Haha."
In army, during our course, Mr Buddy sprained his foot and miss only 1 military exercise. But he was asked to go for RT(remedial training). It was pretty unfair to him cos there were others who missed more but were not ask to go for RT. He had a good attitude towards trainings and was helpful to his coursemates. And then our course commander asked who wanted to join them, I volunteered. I dont really know why I volunteered. Probably on impulse, or maybe his attitude of helping others influence me. He told me he was grateful that I volunteered that time, so he shouldn't be late when we meet! Haha. And then I will always use this against him.
Me: "Remembered who volunteered to go RT with you? Who sacrifice his leaves and go through all the shit with YOU? Who? Tell me who?" (with a sly smile)
Mr Buddy: "Ah na.... You lah. Dont always use this. It doesnt worked."
We do guard duties together often. We would often choose prowling though tiring, we would at least have company. For us it was like a night walk cos we would chat and walk at the same time. I still remember the scenario where we stop to rest at the chinese cook house stairs leading to the running tracks. We sat there, everywhere was dark with only the stars and the faraway lamp posts as our lights. We talk about our dreams, hopes and fears. We both are quite crappy but then we are only humans, we all have our problems.
Mr Buddy is going overseas so I asked him to help me check out some colognes when he is there or at DFS. I sms him,
Me: Can me help buy things when you are there?
Mr Buddy: Porn? Sex toys?
Me: No. I want you to help me buy colognes there or at DFS.
Mr Buddy: You dont intend to bath?
Me: Ya. Save water what.
Mr Buddy: Dumbass. Cologne is also made of water.
Me: But not as much. Stupid.
Thats how we talk to each other. -_-"
Tomorrow at 6am plus Mr Buddy is flying off to Hong Kong for a week's holiday. He will be working until 2am and be going to the airport straight. I wish him a safe trip and have fun.
By the way Buddy, if you forgot about my colognes, I am going to whoop your ass....
Mr Buddy: "Me?! You are the jinx lah."

House Fly and Pineapple Tart
Mr Fly: "Ah Tat..... Ah Tat......" (in a slutty voice)
Me: "What?!" (sounding annoyed)
Mr Fly: "Help me buy food pleeease...." (still in a slutty voice)
Me: "Buy it yourself lah."
Mr Fly: "I am very tired lei."
Me: "Then I not tired meh?"
Mr Fly: "Ah Tat...... Pleeeease...." (even in a more slutty voice)
Me: "Ok lah." -_-"
Every Tuesday and Thursday, we would have the Life Run(5km run). After every run, Mr Fly would ask me to help him buy food cos he was too "tired" to go downstairs to buy it himself. My first impression of Mr Fly was that we were sitting in front of the garage when our instructor ask for volunteers. He was the first to put up his hand to volunteer. I was impress by his unselfishness cos most of the people were keen to siam(avoid) sai kang(shit work). Seeing his unselfishness, I volunteered too.
We were later posted to the same department and bunk. He would often preen himself in front of the mirror, like to do various poses and point to the mirror and say he is handsome. Often he would ask me,
Mr Fly: "Ah Tat... Am I handsome?" (still looking in the mirror)
Me: "Erm... Ya." (I was patronising him cos he had ask me like 10000 times)
Mr Fly: "Really?" (looking even more intensively in the mirror)
Me: "Yaaa..." (I got no choice)
In the bunk he would throw his stuff everywhere and stuff his dirty clothes in a unused locker. To be fair to him, all of us are almost the same. Hehheh. In camp, he was pretty generous to his campmates. Offering to pay first for food and treat them. At night, we will pull our beds to the middle of the bunk to be under the ceiling fans, my bed will be pretty close to his, head to head. The lights are already switched off. He then ask,
Mr Fly: "Ah Tat... Ah Tat..."(in a whispering voice)
Me: "Yes?"
Mr Fly: "Are you going to sleep yet?"
Me: "No... Why?"
Mr Fly: "Can you chat with me?"
Me: "Ok."
Then we will talk rubbish until we sleep. At times, there will be 3 of us including my buddy. We will joke and laugh before we sleep. It was fun and I miss those days. By the way, I had a spoiled radio in the bunk, that is Mr Fly. He loves to sing, somehow he never completes the songs or keep repeating the same lyrics. -_-" We often bicker in bunk as simple as how we put our stuff, that I anyhow hang my clothes and he took up so many space with his things. We even had a great debate about when we should brush our teeth. He advocates brushing the teeth only in the morning, while I advocate brushing the teeth only in the night. Of course our campmates think brushing both morning and night is better. But then we were debating whether only morning or night is superior. Haha... And then there were times where he lie on his bed wanting to sleep but lazy to switch off the lights on his side.
Mr Fly: "Ah Tat... Help me switch off the lights on my side."
Me: "Switch it off yourself since you are the one who wants to sleep."
Mr Fly: "Help me please... You are nearer to the swtich."
Me: "Do it yourself."
Mr Fly: "Ah Tat..... Pleeeeeease...." (in a slutty voice again)
We then ORD together cos we were in the same Charlie Company in Tekong. And then I thought I would not work with him again. Then he offer me a job to work together with him doing sales part time. Well... He taught me a lot about sales. He is a pretty good salesman. After work we would go have a drink or eat supper. Sometimes we were not sure whether we have enough money to eat or drink, so we will pool our money together.
Me: "Lets go drink at Coffee Bean."
Mr Fly: "Ok but I didnt bring a lot of money."
Me: "Me too. How much you have?"
Mr Fly: "$7.90. You?"
Me: "$8.70, 80cents more than you. It means we have like $16."
Mr Fly: "Should be enough."
Me: "Ok, lets go."
And then there was a time we ate roti prata, I only had $2 and he has $10, the bill was $12, just nice. After paying we were both broke, he offered me to sleep at his house cos it was quite late and then there might be no more bus service.
Till now he is a good friend and still continues to annoy me.....
Me: "What?!" (sounding annoyed)
Mr Fly: "Help me buy food pleeease...." (still in a slutty voice)
Me: "Buy it yourself lah."
Mr Fly: "I am very tired lei."
Me: "Then I not tired meh?"
Mr Fly: "Ah Tat...... Pleeeease...." (even in a more slutty voice)

Cinderella Story
I have heard about her name even before we have met. I have heard things about her and some people even mention to me that she is "not bad" and that she is a "ice queen". These, makes me curious about her.
One night, Mr Fly invited me to Indochine for a drink, he was treating because he had clinched his first deal. When I arrived, they were all there. He then introduce his friends to me and then there was Ms Cinderella. That was my first time setting my eyes on her. She was a lanky lass, with big eyes, round prominent cheekbones and fair skin. Her hair was very long until her back and was tied up in a pony tail. She looks pretty classy. She was there sitting on a sofa drinking. I was like 3 people away from her. Mr Fly treated me to a drink by asking me to share a mug with him. How gay can this get? -_-" I didnt talk to her cos she was too far away and it was not convenient.
There is one time when I was with Ms Mosquito walking to work when Ms Cinderella caught up with us. At the moment we were talking about shoes. Ms Mosquito was complaining her black shoes was giving her pain. Ms Cinderella was wearing a pair of Adidas sneakers.
Ms Mosquito: "Arent we suppose to wear black formal shoes."
Ms Cinderella: "I dont care besides this pair looks good on me."
Me: "Its GOOD to have confidence in yourself."(with a sly smile)
Ms Cinderella: "........" (smiling)
Me: "Have you eaten?"
Ms Cinderella: "No.... Why? You want to treat me breakfast?"
Me: "No... Why dont YOU buy me breakfast instead?" (looking amused)
And then later at work I offer her sweets
Me: "You want sweets?"
Ms Cinderella: "The wrapping looks cool." (she took the sweets)
Me: "You are quite courteous, you didnt even say thank you." :)
Ms Cinderella: "Thank you." (smiling)
Me: "Anyway nice talking to you."
Story has it that Ms Cinderella when going to Orchard Road would actually open an umbrella, not because its raining but because she was afraid of being tan. And then one day I met up with her to buy a friend's present. We were at Orchard Road and then she took out a cap to wear. I was disappointed.
Me: "Huh... You didnt bring an umbrella? I wanted to see whether its true that you will use an umbrella under broad daylight."
Ms Cinderella: "Its because of you I didnt bring it."
Me: "I am touched." (I wasnt, I wanted to share the umbrella with her. Nah... I am just curious)
There is one thing I always notice about her and its her footwears. There is a pair which is light yellow with little flowers on it. I wanted to ask her whether its her primary school shoes but I didnt. If not she is gonna flip her eyeballs backwards. Actually she doesnt do that, I just always find this to tease her about. About her "ice queen" image, its not true. She is a pretty nice person. And then she walks and speaks very fast. I ask her is it because she is nervous around me. Hehheh.
I always tease her and there is one time I was suppose to work with her alone. I thought she was a little not pleased with me. So I thought since I am working with her for the whole day, why dont I buy some food for her. Since food make people happy. Ms Bells told me she likes green peas and yoghurt. And then Ms Curls told me she doesnt like to eat at all! Oh man... I end up not buy anything. Cos I was lazy. Haha. Oh yah, she also likes pink musical box. -_-" By the way, on that day she played with me a game, its called the "Pretend not to know me" game for the whole day.
The next time I saw her was at school, this time she played with me this game, the "Pretend not to see me" game. It was raining. This time I finally saw her carrying an umbrella and she was looking down at the floor holding the umbrella. I wanted to ask her whether there was any gold on the floor but she had already walk past me.
I tell myself I should be more nice to her but I cant cos I just like the way I am. Haha. I hope she drops her glass slipper, so that I could pick it up and just say hi. By then she will play with me another game, the "Pretend to ignore me" game.

Team 424
The Original Cast: Mr Ghost, Mr LaSelle, Mr Barbarian, Mr Fly, Mr Buddy and Me. And later came Mr Giant.
These people were strange bedfellows indeed in my army days,
Mr Ghost is a emotional person, chats with his mother on the phone and crazy.
Mr LaSelle is a creative person, straightforward and has a lot of stories about the sex industry.
Mr Barbarian is short and stout, looks like a caveman and is very funny especially when he speaks English.
Mr Fly is a action mama and very drama, loves to entertain his friends.
Mr Buddy is verbally expressive, occasionally philosophical, often like to disturb people.
Mr Giant is big, strong and silent.
We all share a bunk Rm 4-24. The bunk is a rectangular room with 6 beds. On its length are 3 beds on each side. On its breadth are about 10 lockers, 5 on each side. The door is at the corner of the room. There is a long table in the middle of the room with 4 chairs. This set a stage for a movie that lasts for 2 years.
Mr Barbarian was the first to be kick out of the movie. He broke his arm while playing soccer, got downgraded and was transfer to another vocation. Despite changing bunk, he still come to our bunk occasionally to entertain us with his English. And then Mr Giant moved in.
I slept on the length of wall where the door was on my left in the corner. On my left was Mr Giant, he slept nearest to the door. On my right, Mr Ghost. Directly opposite me was Mr Buddy. Diagonally to my left was Mr LaSelle and diagonally right Mr Fly.
Unfortuanately our Rm 4-24 only has 2 ceiling fans, so it was pretty warm when sleeping at night. So how do we solve it? We drag our beds to the middle of the room to be as close as to be under the ceiling fans. So at night our beds looks like they were having a meeting in the middle of the room. Our towels were half folded and hanged on our bed frames, so it looks like curtains that can be drawn open and close. Sometimes at night when we cant sleep, we would draw open our curtains and chat with each other on our beds.
At night, sometimes my bunk mates will give each other sneak attacks. I remember once when Mr Ghost put his face close to me with his eyes wide opened and with my back facing him. Then I turn around and it scared me, I was like WO!!He has big eyes, strong jawline and fair complexion and he looks like a ghost at night. He sometimes talk in his sleep. And then he also once attack Mr Fly by jumping on him and riding on his back. Ewwww.....
Even though Mr Ghost like to scare the shit out of people, he is actually a good magazine supplier. He likes to buy magazines like FHM, Menshealth, 8 Days, U and I Weekly and New Man. He is quite an avid fan of Channel 8. We get to read magazines for FREE. Haha... Besides that he likes to sing to himself in a sharp shrill voice. Sometimes I really want to stuff the magazine into his mouth.
Mr LaSelle is always not in bunk, his bed is often empty until it collects dusts. He is always busy with projects he does for our boss cos he was good at designing posters, brochures and has the knowledge and means to do it. He always has lots of stories to share as he used to travel a lot and knows a lot about the sex industry. Cool...
Mr Fly, what should I say about him. Always entertaining. annoying and full of rubbish. He loves to irritate me, bicker with me and act with me. Everytime I am with him, I feel like I was in a movie, full of drama. When I woke up in the morning, sometimes I realise the movie has started without me knowing. He will do something to irritate me. At night I was not spared, I have to continue to act. I feel like I am acting for 24 hours a day, 5 days a weeks except public holidays.We always have verbal jousting and in good fun, we probably quarrel before but nothing serious.Remember its all acting. Due to the fact that he does not like to entertain our boss, he was usually pick on by him. That explains why when I hang out with him, we get into trouble as simple as talking while walking. Dont ask me why its an offence, cos I dont understand either. I still hang out with him because he is my friend although he gives me bad luck. And so I acted with him for 2 years.
Mr Buddy, my army buddy by default, I didnt choose him, he was assigned to me. Well... He is verbally expressive, has lots of expressions, exclaimations and full of crap. I remember we once nearly fought because he was in 2 minds who to invite for his birthday cos 1 guy dont like the other and will not go if the other went. Its stupid I know to fight over this. And then our friends stopped us. If they had let go, I would have kick his ass. Haha... :) Despite this he has been a helpful and loyal friend and buddy. I am a lucky charm to him cos whenever we are in trouble, we got out of it with no repercussions, unlike our friends. Hehe... So he has to be GRATEFUL to me. We studied in secondary schools that once share the same buildings, our ex-girlfriends stay in blocks next to each other, and we have the same relationship problems. Creepy... We have not seen each other in school before or saw each other when we send our girlfriends home. We share our thoughts and ideas and despite his shortcomings, haha, I could have got a shitty buddy like other people, I could not have ask for a better buddy than him.
Mr Giant moved in later with us. He is a great asset to our bunk. Why? Cos without him, we would not have a pharmacy. Yes a PHARMACY. His locker is our pharmacy. He is pretty health conscious and is into body building. Everytime we need some medical advice we would ask him and he would also have the medcine to give us. Something like an illegal drug dealer. Haha. He slept on the bed next to me on my left and he would be on his bed shaking his legs and be reading some novel. We talk often cos he sleep just beside me. Sometimes I would ask him advice on things cos he is quite logical. He was also my "twang" buddy(slacking buddy). Everytime we want to slack, we will look for each other. :)
The movie has ended.... But the memories will not. Thank you for being good friends in my army days, it could have been more difficult without you guys. Dont cry, just remember to buy me a drink. :)
-END MOVIE-
These people were strange bedfellows indeed in my army days,
Mr Ghost is a emotional person, chats with his mother on the phone and crazy.
Mr LaSelle is a creative person, straightforward and has a lot of stories about the sex industry.
Mr Barbarian is short and stout, looks like a caveman and is very funny especially when he speaks English.
Mr Fly is a action mama and very drama, loves to entertain his friends.
Mr Buddy is verbally expressive, occasionally philosophical, often like to disturb people.
Mr Giant is big, strong and silent.
We all share a bunk Rm 4-24. The bunk is a rectangular room with 6 beds. On its length are 3 beds on each side. On its breadth are about 10 lockers, 5 on each side. The door is at the corner of the room. There is a long table in the middle of the room with 4 chairs. This set a stage for a movie that lasts for 2 years.
Mr Barbarian was the first to be kick out of the movie. He broke his arm while playing soccer, got downgraded and was transfer to another vocation. Despite changing bunk, he still come to our bunk occasionally to entertain us with his English. And then Mr Giant moved in.
I slept on the length of wall where the door was on my left in the corner. On my left was Mr Giant, he slept nearest to the door. On my right, Mr Ghost. Directly opposite me was Mr Buddy. Diagonally to my left was Mr LaSelle and diagonally right Mr Fly.
Unfortuanately our Rm 4-24 only has 2 ceiling fans, so it was pretty warm when sleeping at night. So how do we solve it? We drag our beds to the middle of the room to be as close as to be under the ceiling fans. So at night our beds looks like they were having a meeting in the middle of the room. Our towels were half folded and hanged on our bed frames, so it looks like curtains that can be drawn open and close. Sometimes at night when we cant sleep, we would draw open our curtains and chat with each other on our beds.
At night, sometimes my bunk mates will give each other sneak attacks. I remember once when Mr Ghost put his face close to me with his eyes wide opened and with my back facing him.

When Ms Peach meets Mr Pineapple
I arrived for work and sign in and when I went out of the office, a beautiful smile greets me. It captures my attention, and I still remember it clearly. It was the smile of a girl. She has long hair and at that moment it was still wet and she combed it side parting. She is tan and had pinkish cheeks, probably she had applied blush. What appeals to me most is her smile, it is bright and when she smiles both her eyes will be in a straight line and the skin beneath her eyes will fold nicely. She says,
Ms Peach: "Hi, what should I do?"
Me: " You should go into the office to sign in first."
Ms Peach: "Orh... Ok."
Ms Peach had a special way of selling cards. She would put all her brochures in a single pile. Lift it high up like a traffic police to catch the attention of the ongoing human traffic. It works, everyone look up to what she was holding. But it looks funny so I imitated her.
Apparently it was Ms Peach last day at work as she was juggling between her full time job and her this part time job. After work we went home together because we stay near each other. On the way back, I found out that she was interested in astrology and had a gift for drawing.
The next time I met Ms Peach was when we were going out in groups at night. She was suppose to go in to the club first with a prepaid ticket but then she came back telling us she lost her ticket. Haha... Looking that she was flustered, I cant help but make fun about her, so I pretended to be aghast.
Me: "What! You lost the ticket? How did that happen? (acting fierce)
Ms Peach: "I was walking towards the entrance when I reach there I realise the ticket was not in my hand." (looking at the floor, not knowing what to do)
Me: "Huh... You very blur lei. How can this happen?? (still acting fierce)
Ms Peach: "But I was really holding on to the ticket, I dont know where is it now? (still trying hard to explain)
Fortunately, the ticket was later found on the roadside by Ms Bells. I dont know how it got there and it still remains a mystery until now. And then there was Mr Cliff and Mr Cranky told me I was too fierce to her and this is not the army. Hahaha.... Guess I acted too well. Well... From this incident I can see that Ms Peach is a very nice girl, she was apologetic and not once did she try to argue with me. Her reaction to my accusations was cute. :)
I think I should try to be nice to Ms Peach. Try........

Ocean Seven
0554am... I cannot believe I woke up this early. Yesterday Mr Nose msn me at 10 plus asking me whether I could help him play GK in the NUS Futsal Open. His original keeper has put him aeroplane. -_-" Well... I reluctantly say yes cos I stay extreme west and that place is in Kallang's The Cage( indoor artifical pitch). I help him cos I haven seen him in a long time so just meet up lor.
0750am... I reach there early and Mr Nose came at about 0805am. You know what he told me... That our first match is at 1030am. -_-" He cheated my feelings, I could have slept more at home... Thanks lei...
I realise our team's name is called OCEAN SEVEN. I wonder why. Anyway, I shall not go into details of our matches cos we did not qualify. From this futsal open I get to meet new friends and see Mr Nose again... Haven seen him for a really long time, reminds me of our school days in Jurong Institute. Oh yah and a goodie bag with 4 magazines(Teen, Seventeen etc), Newater, fan etc...
You know sometimes how strange things are. Sometimes when I want to play soccer, I couldn't find enough players. -_-" Now I had 3 offers to play soccer in a week. Mr Buddy just asked me to play tomorrow morning.
At least I know I was once part of OCEAN SEVEN......

Jingle Bells Jingle Bells
I arrived at work and set my eyes on a petite figure. There she was standing among the the ever flowing crowd trying to sell her products. And then she turn around. She is cute. Shoulder length hair, intelligent eyes, every other features of hers are small but fits nicely on her face. I remember the first thing she says to me was to ask me for lunch.
Ms Bells: "Do you want to eat lunch with Mr Horse?"
Me: "Huh? How come he wants to eat lunch and you are the one asking?"
Ms Bells: "He is shy."
Me: "Ok." -_-"
Working was always boring. And then I realise Ms Bells is a very crappy person. Heres why.
Me: "How do you sell your cards?"
Ms Bells: "Well... I put my brochures this way ( in a fan shape) and then I purposely drop some brochures and then someone will pick it for me. I will then ask the person to sign some cards for me." (smiling and looks convinced that it works)
Me: "I am impressed." (I wasnt, I was laughing)
Ms Bells: "It works before."
And then she proceed to demostrate her method without much success. No one pick it up for her. Ha..... She even ask Mr Auntie to pose as a customer to walk past her and she drop her brochures just for him to pick it up. Erm.... I dont know what she was trying to prove but nice try. Before work ends, I ask her for her number, and when it was my turn to give her, I gave her only my first 4 digits. I told her I will give her the last 4 digits when 4D opens on Wednesday. Hahaha.... I was being playful.
Come Wednesday...I sms the last 4 digits to her. Since then we sometimes sms each other. In the beginning, I didnt really understand what she was messaging me. I would tell her something and she would reply with reference to something. Example I was telling her, there were not much guys left at our workplace, I have been working mostly with girls. She would then tell me something about what happened to all the male characters, that the female characters are appearing... Do you understand? I guess this is the workings of a higher mind. I didnt ask her what it means, I just pretended that I understood. Ops....
One fine day, I was standing among the ever flowing crowd selling my product. then I saw a familiar figure walking past me. She turn around and I saw her side view. It was Ms Bells. On hearing that I called her, she quickly look in front and walked away. Huh?? I sms her.
Me: "Hey was that you? How come you ignored me when I called you?"
Ms Bells: "I just went for a make up session with Ms Cinderella and I look like a ghost."
Me: "Dont worry because I am not afraid of ghost." :)
There was a day where I met up with Mr Fly, Ms Peach, Ms Cherry and Ms Bells for roti prata. Well... Mr Fly told me Ms Bells was really a shy girl. I was like huh? really? Cos she was quite talkative when I know her. And then it happens again, she ignore me not saying anything to me even she was sitting directly opposite me. Oh ya... she did say something though.... That is bye bye. -_-"
The one expression that I always remember about Ms Bells was the one she uses to COMMUNICATE with fishes. You heard right.... Fishes! I was window shopping with her and Ms Mosquito when we stop at Indochine's giant fish tank. We were admiring the fishes and then a fish stop in front of us. Suddenly she puff up her face like a fish and stick her face in front of the fish! Wo..... Fishes $300. Her expression Pricless. Everytime I think of it I have to laugh.
Ms Bells pull her arm back, her small fists clenched tightly threatening a punch. If you see someone cute trying to punch you, will you avoid? I didnt cos I didnt think she was going to punch me anyway. I told her if you dare punch me lor. WHAM! And she did. I say why? She said it was my fault that I dared her. Huh? It was pain, more painful in my heart. Hahaha.
Cute, coy and cuddly....

Dreaming Miss K
Location: Jurong Institute canteen
Mr Nose: "She is beautiful..."
Me: "You want to know her yet you dont dare."
The year 2001... My friends and I were always looking at girls in our school canteen during our meals. There is this certain Miss K who is tall and beautiful and she exudes a certain air of confidence and class. My friend would always admire her in the canteen and we will always laugh at him. Funnily I didnt really notice her.
The year 2002... Back to school AGAIN. Haha... Repeated my studies. It was during PE class I know Miss K. So we were in the same class. My first close encounter with her was during stretching exercises. We were sitting beside each other on the track with one leg against the fence stretching. It is still vivid in my mind. I dont know why... Probably its because it is the first time we were so close together. And then there were games, everyone in school knows who she is cos she is pretty famous in school. But then I pretended not to know to make fun of her, I told her I thought her name was Alice. That got me her attention. Nice....
I always look forward to PE lessons because I will be able to see her. And then when we were running on the track I will purposely knock into her and say sorry like I dont mean it. She KNOWS I mean it but she was amused.
One day, I asked Miss K out of curiosity what is her chinese name, she doesnt want to tell me. Huh?? Well... It make me more determined to find out. Somehow my classmate Big tiger who knows her well, refuse to tell me. He says he will get it if he told me. Wah... So fierce. It was by chance and with guts that I know her chinese name. During a chinese lecture, she and her friends were sitting in front of my tiger gang. I stood up and wanted to go to the washroom and then an idea struck me. As I walk, I was just directly behind her and then I bend down just beside her, our faces were just beside each other. I wanted to get a closer look at her chinese name on her paper. And then I read her chinese name ALOUD in the lecture theatre. Her immediate reaction was to cover her paper, realising it was too late, she WHOOP me. OUCH! Painful but sweet.... :)
My antics with Miss K was getting kind of high profile. So a certain Mr Shorty was like teasing her, spreading it around school, making it a big deal and saying that I like her. So primary school. -_-" Thanks to Mr Shorty, I got her number because she wanted to clarify whether its true. Hehe. Everything seems predestined. From then on we sms each other quite often.
The funny thing was despite that we sms each other quite often. Miss K would often play with me this game in school, the "Pretend not to know me" game. She would be queuing just in front of me to buy food but she just wont talk to me. One time I won a bet with her and she bought a hershey chocolate bar for me. Sweet....
Somehow or rather both of us settle on the idea of a gift exchange. It was not Christmas or Valentines Day, somehow we both wanted to exchange gifts. I decided to make paper stars and put it in a long bottle to give it to her. On the day of gift exchange, I waited for Miss K at the MRT station, with much anticipation, my heart was pumping fast. Then finally I saw her........
She was with her friend. We looked at each other smiling, with hardly any exchange in words, we exchanged gifts. Perhaps this is what they mean that the eyes speak a thousand words.
Me: "Oh yah... This is for you." (I grab a bottle of stars from my bag.)
Miss K: "This is for you."(Smiling shyly, she pass me a little plastic bag with something small wrapped up inside)
On my way home, I opened up the little wrapper, it was a keychain with my surname on it. A small and inexpensive gift but one that makes me happy.
One day, suddenly she sms me to ask whether I like her her or not. Oh no! How am I suppose to reply? Yes I like her but I was reluctant to answer her. She kept pursuing for an answer and sms back and forth for 3 HOURS! Ah... The wonders of technology. I decided to tell her how I feel about her being the man that I am. But then I drag the question cos I do not want our anniversary to be on my father's Birthday. So I drag until pass midnight and I finally sms her.
Me: So can we officially hold hands?
Miss K: I will tell you tomorrow. Keep you in suspense first.
AH........ At that moment I feel like burying my head in the sand. Is that a no? I dont know. The next day, I didnt go to school cos I will see her in PE lesson. So pai seh.....
Miss K was suppose to tell me her answer. But then she didnt sms me! Oh man.... I feel that I had screwed up, why did I admit in the first place?? Stupid me.
2 days had passed, still no sms. Thats it! I told myself I would sms her and ask for the answer. I am going to risk it. Here goes.
Me: So what is your answer?
Miss K: How come you did not sms that day for an answer?
Me: I thought you were suppose to sms me?
Miss K: I was waiting for you to sms me.
Me: Ok, so what is the answer?
Miss K: The answer is one that you hope for and want to hear.
YES! Haha... Congrats to myself. It was the start of a wonderful relationship. With many beautiful memories, happy days and heartaches.
3 years 3 months later...... Its over.........
And then I woke up and I found out that it was nothing but a beautiful dream........................

Me: "You want to know her yet you dont dare."

She was with her friend. We looked at each other smiling, with hardly any exchange in words, we exchanged gifts. Perhaps this is what they mean that the eyes speak a thousand words.
Me: "Oh yah... This is for you." (I grab a bottle of stars from my bag.)
Miss K: "This is for you."(Smiling shyly, she pass me a little plastic bag with something small wrapped up inside)
On my way home, I opened up the little wrapper, it was a keychain with my surname on it. A small and inexpensive gift but one that makes me happy.
One day, suddenly she sms me to ask whether I like her her or not. Oh no! How am I suppose to reply? Yes I like her but I was reluctant to answer her. She kept pursuing for an answer and sms back and forth for 3 HOURS! Ah... The wonders of technology. I decided to tell her how I feel about her being the man that I am. But then I drag the question cos I do not want our anniversary to be on my father's Birthday. So I drag until pass midnight and I finally sms her.
Me: So can we officially hold hands?
Miss K: I will tell you tomorrow. Keep you in suspense first.
AH........ At that moment I feel like burying my head in the sand. Is that a no? I dont know. The next day, I didnt go to school cos I will see her in PE lesson. So pai seh.....
Miss K was suppose to tell me her answer. But then she didnt sms me! Oh man.... I feel that I had screwed up, why did I admit in the first place?? Stupid me.
2 days had passed, still no sms. Thats it! I told myself I would sms her and ask for the answer. I am going to risk it. Here goes.
Me: So what is your answer?
Miss K: How come you did not sms that day for an answer?
Me: I thought you were suppose to sms me?
Miss K: I was waiting for you to sms me.
Me: Ok, so what is the answer?
Miss K: The answer is one that you hope for and want to hear.
YES! Haha... Congrats to myself. It was the start of a wonderful relationship. With many beautiful memories, happy days and heartaches.
3 years 3 months later...... Its over.........
And then I woke up and I found out that it was nothing but a beautiful dream........................
A April Summer Breeze
1256pm.... Doby Ghaut MRT. Ops I think I am gonna be late.
1303pm.... Orchard MRT. No sign of her. She sms that she is at the hub. I went to washroom first, let her wait, its ok. Haha.
Finally I met her. On our way to Sakae Sushi she asked me.
Ms April: Why did you choose to eat at Sakae Sushi?
Me: Cos the plates there are smaller. ( cunning smile on my face)
Ms April: ........ ( stun look)
Me: So it would be easy on you when you wash the plates.
April: Why should I wash the plates when you are treating? You cant pay you wash lor.
Me: We should wash the plates together its more romantic. Hahahaha.
I treat Ms April because she once treat me before. So got to treat her back, anyway I have not seen her for some time. After lunch we walk around, throughout that I can see that she is a woman of great taste because she laughs at whatever I say. Then I brought her to DFS to look at diamonds and handbags and I told her she can pick anything she wants. Being the nice girl that she is, she didnt pick anything. Heng...
Throughout our window shopping Ms April told me she like this pair of sunglasses, she like this, she like that then I look at her and say.
Me: Are you hinting me? Because your birthday is coming right?
Ms April: No... Why should I hint? (smiling face)
Me: Dont lie because I wont buy. Hahaha.
Well... I truly believe that she is not hinting, even if it is, I will pretend I dont get it.
Spontaneously we decided to watch a movie. Since its spontaneous, we didnt really decide in advance. When we reach Cineleisure, the show I wanted to watch "Yours, Mine and Ours" had started showing. Well... It is down to 1 choice and it is going to show soon "TransAmerica". Ms April is keen on that show about transexual( read as Ah Gua) She is actually keen on the movie "Brokeback Mountain" too but its not showing until at night. Heng... Strange girl, she actually wants to watch a movie either about transexual(Ah Gua) or on gays. -_-" To all her admirers, you are lucky, cos you do not have to watch a movie about transexual(Ah Gua) with her, because I have done it. Oh yah, there is 1 more gay movie(Brokeback Mountain) she wants to watch. Good luck! Or alternatively you can pay me to watch it with her to suffer on your behalf.
The movie finally started...... Oh man! Let me summarise it for you... You will see lots of dicks! Mostly men and only 1 naked woman who is suppose to be a transexual. The son trying to seduce the father who is transexual and he does not know that he is his father.
The movie finally ended....... Come to think of it. Transexual are quite pitiful. They just want to decide on what they want to be, to choose what they want to be. Gross yet touching.
After the movie, Ms April told me she feels like eating ice-cream but she is still full. Me too. Ms April if you are reading this, the next treat is on you! You can buy me breakfast, lunch, dinner and ICE-CREAM.... Yummy....

Courtship or torture??
I had always admire guys who have the persistence and determination to court a girl for a extended period of time( anytime from 1/2yr to 20 yrs). I admire that they have the balls to stick to their guns(no pun intended). Am I like that? NOOOOOO.... cos I think its stupid.
Hahaha... You read right... STUPID. Then how come I admire these guys? I admire them for their character. Probably deep deep down inside me I hope I am like that. I dont know... Its for me to know and for you to find out.
My friend Mr Gump had like this girl for 6 years. His mood is in tune with her. When she is happy, he is happy, when she is sad, he is also sad. He knows he might not be with her and hope the best for her. Every time he ask her out, she would say she is busy, too tired... You know the typical womanese excuses. He never gives up. Probably I would only ask once then forget about it, the most twice, anything more than that is out of convenience.
We should be cool about things. I cant imagine myself courting a girl for 4 MONTHS! My friend Mr Rooster did. He court his girlfriend for 4 months! He was successful of course and happily in love. I guess I am lazy thats why. You got to ask the girl out every week, keep in touch every now and then and worse think of what to buy for her Birthday, Valentines Day, Christmas, National Day, Labour Day, Deepavali etc.
I like what Mr Buddy told me: " Let nature takes its course."(Shun Qi Zhi Ran) In fact I love it! Sounds like minimal effort to me. Of course there were a few critics like Mr Cliff and Mr Fly. They say its bullshit. They say:"If you dont do anything, nothing will HAPPEN!" Mr Cliff and Mr Fly also say that:" Its not often that you find someone that you really like, so you should go for it." They told me about their opinions individually and on different occasions. Great minds think alike?? Nah.... A common view?? Hmmm.... I dont know. That may explains why some guys are persistant in their pursuit for that certain female specimen. Because its not often that you come across someone you are fond of. Is it true for you?
Sometimes I see my friends' mind being mess up. Everything she does or says, takes up some significance and might not mean anything at all. Then they go around asking their friends what it means. And I have to INTERPRET it! Ha... Wonder if there is an occupation for this, I think i will make big bucks!. Hahahaha. Guys take my advice, its the best in the world...................
DONT THINK TOO MUCH!

The Story of The 6 Tigers of Jurong Institute
Lately, I caught up with my gang from JI( it means Jurong Institute and no I am not a terrorist and I love peace). We are now on different paths.... Have known them for 4 years and 1 for 7 years. Big tiger is working as a travel agent and studying part time in SIM. Wise tiger is in US taking marine biology, Weird tiger is signing on with MSD, Sporty tiger is in NUS and Little tiger had sign on with the army. My biggest ambition is to get ALL of us into a photo. Somehow or rather there will always be 1 that is missing. Even meeting up is difficult cos somehow somewhere someone is busy. The only time we are together 6 people is when we were in school eating in canteen and looking at girls... Haha... Those were the days. We would not have known each other had we not repeat our studies. Wise tiger repeat his yr 1, Wierd tiger repeat his yr 2 and me and Sporty tiger repeat our yr 3. Yes we study 4 YEARS of A Levels. Hahahahaha....... We are very knowledgeble.
Somehow I feel that our group is not as close as before because of a few years ago............... 2 tigers fell in love with the SAME girl. Ha.... Love rivalry. Makes for a great story. Friends who fell in love with the same girl. Usually you really do not know whether to take sides, who is right or wrong. Whoever gets the girl still lose no matter what. Probably getting the girl is better mathemactically. Anyway you are gonna to lose your friends so at least you HAVE the girl. Haha.
Oh ya... So what happened next?... Who won who lose? Well.... Both did not get the girl. Its difficult to untie the knots we have in our hearts. So I told myself if it happens that 1 day I fell in love with the same girl as my friend, I would let him have her. Girls are everywhere but good friends are hard to find. Another solution is dont have too many friends. Hehheh...

How come there so many festivals???
Today is White Valentines Day( Bai Se Qin Ren Jie) in Korea and Japan. I had a fren Mr YH who told me that Valentines Day, Mothers Day and all these funny funny days are dream up by unscrupulous businessmen. They are all to make $$$ from US! Well... He says: "Then how do you explain the exorbitant pricing on that day?! Isn't V-Day the same as other days?! You know he is not wrong... Soon there will be Grandfathers Day, Grandmothers Day, Auntie Uncles Day and black, blue, green Valentines Day and all that nonsense. Believe it or not, there is another day somewhere next week or next month, some Black thingy Day. Suppose for singles to mourn their singlehood by eating some kind of noodles. Let me tell you this... Its a conspiracy thought out by some noodle shop boss to boost his sales!
Talking about Days... How come they never have a Gentlemen Night in clubs??? Why is there only Ladies Night?! Talking about equality. Hmmm.... Because ladies are more thifty? Or men are richer? According to Mr Buddy, the ladies attract the guys to be there. They are also gonna have a ladies night for soccer matches. Free entry for ladies to matches. :x Oh man... Sometimes its better to be a girl. Discounts and privileges goes to children, elderly and the female race. Given a choice I will still choose to be a man...... Muwahahahahahaha.
