I have just finished packing my bags. Will take another nap later. Later will be having dinner before I proceed to Golden Mile around 10pm to meet my dearest.

From there, we will set off to M'sia. Our destination, Genting Highlands. This is a 4 days 3 nights trip. Our main objective for this trip is to foster a stronger bond between us. Other objectives will be going to the amusement park, walking in peace & enjoying the cold air hands in hands with occasion smoothie (haha) We will give the casino a miss as she do not want to go. Maybe one of the day morning, we might wake up early and go for an early walk waiting for the sun to rise or for an evening walk and wait for the sun to set. Sounds cool.. Can't wait...

Will blog again when we are back with photos... Hang on.. We'll be back soon...

David's birthday celebration

20th Dec'08

So sweet of her mom. She offered to pick me up from my place to her place as they were shopping @ causeway point. However, I was washing my mistress (her maid) @ that point of time so I asked them to carry on. Viv was so sweet as she waited patiently for me to finish washing the maid while KLKKing @ Causeway. When I arrived, bother mother and daughter were there waiting for me. So we decided to continue with our shopping for David's gift while auntie went back home to help prepare the food for that nite celebration @ her brother's place. (David's B'day - nephew of Viv). After shopping a while, Viv says that David likes pink & purple colors, then she got him a carebear by the name of sharebear. As David younger bro Daniel will be around, she got him a bear too. (so thoughtful of her). I also got a cute little goodluck bear from her too who is now sitting on my table staring @ me while I'm blogging...:) While we were walking along the lobby, we saw remote control small helicopter & she wants to get it for her brother as a x'mas gift.

So to make things short for this one, We got 3 carebears, 1 for David + a watch, 1 for Daniel & 1 for me, 1 helicopter for her bro. & wrapping papers. . hope I didn't missed out anything else.

Went over to her place 1st to wrap the present. While almost done, her bro came over and this is the first time both of us met. Finally, her entire family members and I had a wonderful birthday celebration with them together (also my 1st time)...Thanks to Viv for asking her mom whether can I join in the party and thanks her mum for agreeing, otherwise, I wouldn't have such opportunity to have this wonderful time together with them.

It seems that her bro and I got quite the same liking for torchlights and leatherman stuff plus the interest on cars... Cool...

After everything, we went back over to her place. I stayed in her room playing with her laptop occasionally turn around & chit-chat with her & she i s resting on her bed. I stayed till about 12.30 where I decided that I should be heading home as Viv is sending me back & I do not want to drive @ a super tired mode. It was a wonderful & great day we had...

Changes that took place starting from 11th Oct 2008

It was the day where I express my intention to her. West Coast Mcdonald where I accompany her when she is busy doing her work. It has been 2 months 5 days. My life is never the same as it was. I am happier, feeling life more meaningful, feeling loved, care and all the wonderful feeling that anyone can imagine. This is all because of her. So far, everything is going very smoothly for both of us and if we continue with the way we are right now and also getting to know each other better as day passes. I'm pretty confident that our love will grow too as we grow older too and with a touch of understanding each other, accepting each other flaws and appreciating each other efforts, we will still be as loving and holding hands at the age of 70 and more.

I am not blogging this out and paint it so beautifully because I know she might be reading my blog. What is stated here is all from the bottom of my heart and basically, she deserve all the credits for the things that are written here of cos with the help of my fingers and the current technology to record online which is known as blog.

I am writing this because I believed that we as human being must appreciate another human being for all the wonderful things they have done for you and therefore I am telling her I really appreciate her.

* It is also a reminder for myself to appreciate what I have got and have to treasure it dearly and god knows, maybe 25yrs from now, when we are siting on our rocking chairs, turning online with whatever technology it will be in 25 years time, sipping wine together and reading through our blog. It will be something priceless that we can show it to the younger generation to show them true love do exist. All we need to do is to treasure, love, understand, trust, faithful, care and loyal to one another.

Until the day where she's ready to tell me we are officially together, I will not shout out her name here.

12/12/08 0223hrs Fully making use of time

As I had a wonderful day yesterday with my dearest. No matter how I closed my eyes, I still can't get to sleep as I misses her too much.


Decided to take this time to set up the few old computers that my brother passed to me and make them working so that my room will not look like a workshop.

1) Took out the wifi from one faulty IBM laptop and tried to install it in my own working IBM laptop. Have no idea why when I put it in and turned it on, the screen just went blank. So removed it and phew.. my own lappy working again.

2) Setup 2 PC - 1st one, 1.5Ghz, 40Gb, 512Kb RAM (Completed)

While blogging now, the second one is still in the process.
2.5Ghs, 40Gb, 1Gb RAM (completed @ 0314hrs)


Suddenly, this comes to my mind. it could be that since the wifi thingy put in my working laptop and it become not working, this could be the caused of why the other one not working.

Will try that out later.

Will update again on the results... cya..

A fruitful day although she is sick (11/12/08)

It was a Thu mid morning. I was browsing through facebook when I saw Viv's comment that she is sick and unable to go to work. Without any second thought, I just grabbed my car key and set to her place. While I was @ her car park, I called her hp and she answered with the sleepy and sick tone. My heart was shattered to hear that. I asked if she was all right and if she has gone to see the doctor as well as having her brunch. Her answer was obviously haven't go yet. (Silly question from me as I'm already able to judge from her tone. Haha) So I asked her to listen. I sound my horns and she was surprised that the horn was coming from both ways... Through the phone as well as from her carpark. To make this short, It was a pleasant surprise for her and I'm really glad that she loves the surprise.

Ok, to point form all the things that we have done together.

1) Around 12.40pm, accompany her to see the doctor, got her medications, bill and MC, we proceed to the coffee shop to have our brunch.

2) We had char siew rice @ her favorite stall.

3) Proceed to get her Osim scale for repair.

4) Went down to Parkway Parade to get her damaged herbal packs exchanged.

5) She bought her labeler. (Brother brand)

6) After that, we walk around enjoying each other company.

Lastly, around 7 plus, sent her home. At her carpark, met up with her dad, say hi to him and did not send my dearest princess home as her daddy already with her.


It was one of the most accomplished items that we had in a day and we are proud of ourselves.

There are still a lot of things that we both have yet to do together & we sure are looking forward to it.

Have a good rest dearest.

My 1st time bringing my niece out with Viv

10/12 (Wed)
First time bringing my niece out to clubbing with the wonderful guidance and help from Viv.

First, We met up @ Vivo for our dinner @ Kim Gary Restaurant. The two ladies hit off well on their 1st official meet up. small talk from stories books etc...

After that, we were talking about the wonderful desert wine that Viv & I had @ Bozeit. Then, Viv say ok, we go there for our drink 1st before heading down to St. James. The desert wine was really fantastic and we really enjoyed it.

We finished it around 10.30 where we decided to head down to St. James. There, we went to Movida 1st. As we were standing in this order, Mavis, Viv & I. This is where my niece got her first approach by a guy with spoke to her in mandarin. She was in a way shy and got Viv to stand on her left side. = M is @ the centre. I wanted to stand over @ that corner but Viv assured me it was all right as she is in total control of the situation.

After that, we proceed to other rooms like firefly, dragonfly. The last place that we went was broiler's room. It was pretty exciting over there and we did enjoyed ourselves there. Coming to the last 10 mins before we decided to depart to home, my niece was being approached by guy again. She quickly turn to Viv and stick to her...

At about 12.45am, we headed back to Vivo where the car was parked. First to drive Viv home then my niece to my place. Somehow along the way where there was certain time constraint to get my niece home, I was cheesed off by two taxis. One in front of me and the other on my right which are going @ a slow rate. I curse n swear n step on the gas n overtook them on the left lane. @ that time, V was concerned that I may scare the shit out of my niece. She tried to calm me down but ended up cheese off by my split second burst of anger on the taxi drivers. Throughout the journey, we were not talking...When we reached her place n we stepped out of the car, I know she is angry @ me and ask her what is it. This is the time where I know it was because of the taxis issue. I apologize to her on the way to her door where we say good night.


On the way back home, I should have be more tactful in handling the situation where I need to balance the time constraint that my niece have and the way I was being blocked by the two taxis. Due to this, I screwed up the lovely & wonderful evening that the 3 of us had. (5 hours of wonderful time spoil by 5 secs of anger)

When I reached home, as usual, I sms her that I'm home safely @ the same time apologized for my action again.


This is the best part, when a person apologize and he or she is really sincere, the best thing they can get for an answer is you are forgiven. & I've got it. I am so blessed to have got to know such an understanding and loving person.

THANK YOU Viv. I appreciate your gracious Big hearted forgiven and tolerance toward my actions despised the fact that you are not 100% well accompany by the pressure you had in your work. I should be more understanding taking into the consideration on all this.

Well, all well ends well and it can be achieved with few things, understanding from both parties, forgiveness from a wonderful person and patience from a hot headed pig (me).

Lesson learned. Till we meet again for better outing. Class dismissed.

Conquering the Alexandra Arch, Henderson Waves & Southern Ridges with Viv (7th Dec 2008 Sun)

Never did I expect to spend more than 2 hours just by walking the nature reserve of Singapore and it has happened. Thanks to Viv for this form of exercise.

We started our journey around 1706hrs, as the conservative me, I have my survivor pouch with me which consists of 2 mineral water, cellphone, torch light, small knife & wallet with cash (which may be use to buy your way out of the place with the help of the local monkey...haha..just kidding).













All in all, it was a fun, sweaty and enjoyable walk from Alexandra way all the way to Vivo. We stopped in between to take a min photo. (in this pic, we were halfway through Henderson Bridge I think & Viv is looking up into the sky, dun know y..haha) and our first major stop was @ the hawker centre. There, we ordered sugarcane drink before we took the main road back to Alexandra where the car was parked. As we were all wet from the walk, we took our towel and fresh clothings and head to the toilet for a quick towel wash. I was fortunate enough that I found a shower room, hence, had a real shower and feeling fresh and energise after that, but poor Viv do not have any shower room in the ladies of Little Bali.

We actually make a reservation @ Little Bali for dinner, as we were earlier and the table that Viv wanted was being used @ the moment, we went to another table to sit and wanted to order some drinks to cool ourselves. As it was a one for one kind of promotion, ask the waiter for it, but to my dismay, according to his explaination, the one for one promo = 1 person only. Meaning to say one person order one but get to drink two, if you got two persons, you need to order two for two free which I find it ridiculous. Who is the world can tell me I have to drink so much? You know, if I am a lousy drinker who can only hold a glass of beer and with a friend, can't I offered the other one to my friend? Whatever it is, I totally do not accept this explanation. I guess Viv noticed that I a bit (Boh Song) abt this, suggested that we go to BOZEIT @ VivoCity instead so we went to them and cancelled our reservation and drive down to Vivo.




















It was a blessing in disguise. @ BOZEIT, we had a wonderful time over there. The food was overall good and the wine that she ordered.. Wow.. it was fantastic. Handpick by the wine expert in German and specially import to this restaurant here and most importantly, the company I had was marvelous.
















After dinner, we decided to check out the laska steamboat place. We were captivated by the smell of the gravy when we stepped in. It smells great and that will probably the next makan place that we will head to.

As our tummy is still full with German food and wine, therefore, just bought a can of green-tea and sat on their swing to rest.

All in all, it was one of the enjoyable and fun filled Sunday we had.

Summary of 2dec to today 5 dec

On 2nd Dec, I woke up kinda of bored so just walk around my home when I saw my niece's old lappy in one of the room. Suddenly, the thought of what my brother told me that day, if the RAM is faulty or spoil, the system will not power up struck my mind. Hence, decided to remove the RAM from my niece's lappy, assemble them into my own lappy which was left idling at one corner for more than 3 mths after my brother conclude that it is the motherboard faulty.

Was so happy when I can see the IBM logo appear on the screen again... waited a bit more longer and the creation of Bill Gates appeared.. So to confirm my RAM is faulty, I installed them in my niece lappy and try... haha.. apparently cannot power up. CONCLUSION... RAM faulty. Therefore, installed the RAM taken from her laptop back so that her sister can use it later.

Can't wait to guide my lappy to the road of recovery, immediately pack her in my bag, rush to computer shop to buy a new RAM. Spend $99 on a 1GB DDR ram @ cyberactive and install the RAM over there so that if anything goes wrong, the "doctor" is there. Fortunately, all goes well.

Out of curiously, asked the "doctor" abt the condition of my desktop @ home. Got 2 desktop. 1.5GHz with working harddisk (Name this one A), another one is 2.5GHz without any harddisk which was given to me by my bro and he helped me to purchase a new RAM (Name this B). Problem, take the hard disk from A and put it to B.

Try to install OS in B but halfway through keep rebooting. At first, I thought it was the hard disk faulty. After telling my story to the "doctor", he told me it could be either harddisk faulty or RAM faulty, I told him RAM was a new one which I got my bro to buy for me. He told me, ya, new old doesn't mean 100% working one too right?

So based on what he said, decided to go home and find out if the hard disk formally from PC A was faulty, took out the hard disk, reinstalled into PC A and Geee.. it's working. Therefore, conclusion. Hard disk is working and likelihood the new RAM is faulty. However, I don't know how am I going to bring across to my bro... Will figure out later.

As for 5th Dec, woke up early, took a banana muffin which was intro and given to me by V, wow.. love the taste... As I am sort of a bananaman, love anything that is related to Banana. love the Dutchlady Banana milk, del morte banana only. Thanks V for the intro.

After that, decided to go for a haircut at Blk 100+ Yishun. Don't feel like driving there so took a bus over. After the haircut, as I am putting on weight now and I HATE it, decided to walk home. At least a take it as a little burning off fat exercise. Was glad that I wasn't panting when I reached home. This shows that smoke free is improving my health and stamina.. wheee... Time to start burning the fats away while I can before it goes out of control...

2 mths 10 days...

Why the title for this is 2 months 10 days. It was because I was reunited with someone after a yr or so when I first met her and to think that I did not remember meeting her. I deserved a slap for that. Anyway, I am really really glad that we were given a second chance for a reunion.

I think I will label the official date to be 23/9/08 to make thing simple.

During these times, despite the facts that I'm having some set back which I am trying to overcome, my life have never been so happy and meaningful before if you know what I mean. (love, care, concern, making merry, having good time, open heart talk and lots more....

I would say that it is important for people to go through all the seasons that the other person have. Be it they are happy, sad, angry, frustrated, miserable, delighted and so on... in order to know whether are they able to handle the situation well to carry on further. So far, I am pretty pleased that I was given sort of opportunity to do so . I may not be a very good @ consoling people but my ears are big enough to listen to them.


No one is perfect. In life, we just have to give and take. To make it sounds bad, it will be eventually someone must win and peace is restore. To make it sounds good, basically, the word used is COMPROMISE. You may not agree with my theory, but somehow, I say it is reasonable and logical enough to be classified as "my theory"

It was taught to us (indirectly) when we were young. Remember scissor, paper, stone? It is a simple way of compromising before things are continue.

Why paper win stone? Because stone is "Hard" whereas paper is flexible and able to withstand the hard approach from the stone, thereafter the paper wrapped itself around the stone. So paper win, the game goes on....

At this point, I would just want to say to someone special & important in my life currently and in future if she permits, and that is I am a person that will treasure what I have and I will minimise the common practice by most human being that is crying over spill milk.
