I start to believe my blog has more than 1 loyal reader – other than "Tee KoPeh" Sam.. Afterall, you can’t blame for this late faith cos’ Sam is the only one putting constructive comments on my blog. Though many can debate about the substance of his comments, Sam posted the most numbers of comments. (Followed by Tracy, Bobo and Joanne. – You see, these ladies aren’t any loyal readers – They are under my "Compulsory Reading Programme" – cos’ I will give them "Weekly Blog Comprehension Test")
Yesterday, I was chatting with Meijie over the phone.. I am so surprised to hear how updated he was… Unlike Sam, he was a quiet subscriber…who sneaked in silently and left silently. (Anyway, that is how quiet Meijie is…even at Hotel 25, he came, he slept and he left.) Man, I start to see how compatible Kalinda and Meijie are – they are really slient lovers!
Last week,
Juliana left me a heart-warming note on my MSN…asking how am I doing in Shanghai. She read about my "low moody" thread and sent me her wishes. Though it was a short exchange of words.. it feels good to have someone watching over you. I was very touched by her sincerity. (Ouch! Joe, that’s mushy!).. Anyway, she just celebrated her 28th birthday last night – I can’t wait to demostrate my singing talent too – sang her a birthday song over the phone!

At 930pm just now, Gareth called. Strange, I thought…cos’ I no longer order "XXX Pizza" from him anymore. Ever since he moved house and achieved his 1st "X" (I mean his Baby X lah), we hardly gather anymore. Still, he is a good old brother to the clan and a very caring one too. (Selectively to Kalinda and me only, I guess). Yah…Gareth is a little bit biased..but what to do. He like big body parts…so me and Kal kinda qualify.
Back to his call – Gareth just wanted to say hi and spoke the most heart-melting words – "We miss you leh". I nearly flipped off my chair! I asked him "what’s up, man?"… He answered "I just read your blog and feel like calling you lor".. Funny, I didn’t post up any XXX call girls in my blog…Anyway, I just gained another loyal reader now.
THE ARRIVAL OF FRIENDS (See, they are in the "Future" now!)
These 2 weeks, I have friends coming in from Singapore…and dropping by to visit me. I just met Charlie for lunch last Sat and Scott just stayed over my house last night! Tomorrow I will be meeting Desmond and Yogi. It is so great to have friends coming in and out.. makes me feel so at home.. (with all the 8days, Straits Times, etc they brought with them..haaahaaa)
Scott just left my house 1 hour ago..

) Felt rather bad that I didn’t have enough time with him (as I have been really busy over the past few days). Scott was here for a business trip and he personally extended 1-2 days just to meet up with me. The time we spent together was really short (just over 2 dinners) but we did have a good heart-to-heart chat.
Before he took off just now, he actually gave me a lot of encouragement, asking me to stay on and keep my chin up. Felt kinda sad when we bid farewell, cos’ he is also another brotherly figure.
Okay..let’s not get too mushy…. Anyway… I am looking forward to meet Desmond + Yogi tomorrow..( Cos my PSP Game is with them now..) Opps.. sorry..er.. I mean I miss their presence too…

Dear Pearlyn:Thanks for your letter and such beautiful words. Since you are such a loyal support, your comment has won you the "Letter of the Week"! You have won yourself a "Pearl of the Orient" crystal! (Mm.. I must start planning my logistic now!)Yes, I am still kicking around here.. and misses my friends and love one back one. Hey, if you are bored and want to come here for a holiday..do give me a call, ok? I will make sure I make you feel at home.
Yo Joe!
I organised a gathering last sat and the gals turned up: Jasbir, Jamie (yes, she is here for 1 month hol), Yanling, Fuikoon, Chongyu and Liza. I wanted to organise a bigger one at your office, tried calling you, and alas! Realised that you are still in the Pearl City!
I read through most of your june and july entries and I must say, I really enjoy reading them. One of the best blog besides Mr. Brown 🙂 And also, very heartwarming, esp, when I read about how much you missed Elkan. So touched, that it left a "suan suan" feeling in me, on the verge of tearing.
I hope you are more or less adjusted now. Wish you all the best and return here as a super sucessful guy!
Really miss having you around coz’ you are always the one who cracks us up regardless when and where!
take care bro!
PS. Don’t flirt around and come back with er-nai, san-nai, si-nai…….!!!
cheers,
Pearlyn
