Framed for 7 Years
December 19, 2008 1 Comment
What a sweet surprise! For the past 7 long years, we were still our bridal shop’s "Poster Couple" – our poster sat at the main entrance of the shop! Felicia brought Elkan there to take a photo. It was such a meaningful and special shot. (Guess what, Elkan can only recognise me and not Feli! Haaa… mmm..guess I am still as young and handsome like before!) The boss of the shop recognised them and they chatted like good old friends. It was an unusual reunion. We were very touched when the boss of the shop insisted that we take back her favourite photo. Happy and sad, this visit marked the end of our 7-year "endorsement". Finally, after a long 2555 days, this poster finally went back to its rightful owners – now sitting in our house in Singapore.

Soulful of Songs
December 12, 2008 Leave a comment
Here am I, sitting comfortably in my living song, watching the blinking Christmas lights across the straits, listening to the "Vocaluptuous" CD that Kalinda gave me. A perfect blend of love – the cold December weather and these soulful songs – it just makes one want to fall in love again. Right now… I just can’t wait to spend my 1st White Christmas with my loved ones in Korea…
(I have never recommend any CD Album in my blog but this is certainly one too good Singapore album to miss. You can get them at HMV at SGD19.90. Part of their proceeds go to Charity. Checkout their song and website here: http://www.vocaluptuous.com.sg/music/The_Christmas_Song.MP3)

Back to “1 Degree 22N”
December 9, 2008 Leave a comment
Another very happy-go-maken home trip indeed. Met all my buddies and my lovely families. As usual, the gatherings were short, food-filling and "rushy" (Stella, Uncle Asty, Chester and my dad had to rush off somewhere) – but I am happy – at least I managed to gather all my families and friends together. The warm welcome and friendly transports (by Uncle Benny, Jimmy, Scott, Duuk and Gareth) justified why I still haven’t got my driving licence. I am so spoilt by their pamperings and hospitalities. (Of course, Lightbulb Meijie is not happy being stuck with us on "Exile Island"… but I got him an early Xmas gift!)
Didn’t do much shopping or karaoke – cos’ Mummy Juli gets tired easily and my pocket was burnt after paying extra $300 for a video camera that I should buy in Hong Kong. (Damn it, I say – I should have come back to HK to buy – I am sure Meijie and my dear wife are shaking their heads now). Wanted to spend a good weekend on Sentosa – sunbathing or babe-watching – but in the end, the group of us hid under a shady hut, drinking cocktails, watching Lao Chiow Bu-s. And in the evening, I wanted to see musical fountain – but can’t fight the temptation of local food – we had nice, oily sinful carrot cakes and fried noodles at Zion Road. (Surely I can afford to eat more – cos’ a recent test revealed that Gareth is 89kg, Jimmy 86kg and I am slightly over 85kg – the lightest amongst the heavy-weights! Surely, Duuk is heavier than me cos Juli always threw her weight around on him!)
For 2 nights, I slept at 3am – we were the only clubees at OneDegree15. Yixi, Lusia, Scott, Kalinda, Jimmy, Duuk and Juliana were there with me on 2 seperate nights – drinking and eating fried suppers! Yifu supposed to join us – but laziness got into his way – next time, got to lure him with Gareth‘s hot and spicy harddisk – that is perhaps the only goodies he is after. And Joanne – only my mother asked for her – and I was told that she went to Phuket for a "inter-transmission". Mmm… Jimmy and Serene should plan one soon.
The happiest of all should be Elkan and Qiqi (and Felicia, haa..she is FREE). The 2 kids finally met again after their last heart-breaking farewell in Hong Kong. Within seconds, two of them were back to their best acts – terrorising their poor grannies and parents. What can I say – they (old folks) asked for it! Sigh, no gain, no pain, huh? Wondered why they are still requesting for more?
p/s (Thanks Kalinda for your sweet CD… I am enjoying it right now. Hope you are making my Xmas Gift right now. Chups, you look prettier with the extra weight. Sister Jovel, get well soon, did you passed Elkan the sore eyes? Aunt Amy, made up your mind for CNY? Oh yes, must stresssed this point – I am actually lighter than Jimmy and Gareth!)

Happy 15th BoboJojo Anniversary
November 24, 2008 Leave a comment
A very special date between 2 friends happened 15 years ago. That day was 24th Nov, 1993, time 825pm.
Felicia and I were just having our dinner at Marine Parade when we decided to go for a stroll at the nearby beach. We came to rest at a bench and started chatting. The sun set and the stars lit the sky. Must be the food or the weather that time, she dropped a big amorous bomb that night. (Haaa… many of you know the script!). Since then, we have been …you know.. anyway… here we are… happily married in our 8th-year.. and yes…been "hitched" for the last 15 years.
My goodness, Elkan is already 4! But this is the 1st time we are celebrating this special day with our son. (Yeah, even I have to repeat 3 times to my boss about the reason for my leave!) No candle-light dinner or under-the-bed-surprise gifts, just a day off with 2 of them – as we have decided to save the good money for more road trips with our friends and family in the coming months. Our Anniversary today is certainly more noisy… 3 really good friends, we spent a good relaxing afternoon at the beautiful Disney Hollywood hotel. (I must really do exercise – I can’t outrun my little boy!) The weather is fantastic – blue sky and cool November breeze with a great sunny spotlight (Elkan!)

Tale of a Lost Stroller
November 24, 2008 Leave a comment
Last weekend, we finally met Kelvin and his family (our 30th visitors!) in Hong Kong. Amazingly, this is the 4th time Kelvin and I met overseas (none in Singapore since 2005!). After spending a good day with him, I realised Kelvin is a very very devoted and pampering father. Most of the time, you will see him carrying his 2 little princesses (2 and 4-year old girls or should I say 12 & 21kg girls?). It was a difficult, tiring and back-breaking task – especially he had to squeeze through the conjested human traffic, going up and down Hong Kong’s unfriendly slopes and steps.
To make things worse, I left his precious travel buddy – the baby stroller – on a cab! He had to carry the 2 princesses when we strolled down Causeway Bay. I felt so bad and guilty that I bought him a new stroller. It will be a handy buddy when they visit Disneyland on Sunday.
Amazingly, the cab driver returned the stroller the next morning – he left it with our security guards. Since I took leave on Monday, we went to Disneyland this morning to bid farewell to our dear friends and returned back his princesses’ favourite stroller. (Yeah, Cherie was jumping up and down when she saw her stroller!)
