The True You

The True You

You want your girlfriend or boyfriend to be more relaxed, calm, and composed.

With respect to money, you spend whatever you have.

You think good luck depends on maintaining good relationships with others.

The hidden side of your personality tends to be a little selfish. You only do what interests you.

You are the type of person who assumes that the world revolves around yourself.

When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you will search and search until you find your perfect match.

Who's the True You?

Kinesis Technogym

Last wee in Hongkong, i was fortunate to be right on time for the opening of the new gym in Tsim Sha Tsui. Its awesome with 6 floors of equpiments and studios, with a health drink bar thrown in. One of the floor was devoted to Kinesis Technology. Its a new technique that is supposed to take over the megaworld of bodybuilding to another level. It embodies both balance and core stength building, idealising lean and over-all tonning as its core objective. i love it! But i think it will take some time before it penetrates our local scene.

Karen Mok + Aaron Kwok 2005 concerts

My two favorite artistes just held their solo concerts in Hngkong Coliseum. Even though I can't recollect any new songs from Aaron kwok for the past 'dunno how many' years. I still adore him! He is so Ahhh! And , darlings, Karen Mok is such an icon!

In My Father's Den

In My Father's Den
Just watched this show with Ed. Its my type of movie. Its theme permeates through me even as i showering just now. It is strangely similar to the book i read some time back by Karel Van Loon , titled A father's Affair. but strangely, the movie captures the different moods of emotions better. Ya, and Matthew McFadyen was great.

My Hongkong Trip

Whenever i travel alone, i tend to have a habit to keep a travel journal. I like to be able to grasp that nick of happiness before it's nipped away. To jot down everything. Now that I picked up the habit of taking pictures. My travel journal seems almost complete. I am going post a brief of my journal here. Its gonna bore all of you if i post the whole book.
For the past 3 months, it never was a single awakening moment that i felt peace. i was lost in the crowd. i have taken a disinterest to everything and everyone else's. This trip serves to be at the right time, like a rinse with clear water. I am , but just , Icarus the mortal who tumbles when he flies. Not Apollo the God.

Hongkong. A city which i adore for its intensity. Like the city neon lights that never flicker, city dwellers grow to adopt a lifestyle similar to such. Its one city that i feel grossly awkward to wear my sport gear commuting after gym. But I love it anyhow. For my friends who live there. For the beautiful and wide array of services and apparels. Perhaps thats the reason my dear gal friend finds it hard to digest the fact that she is plump, and different. She was admitted to hospial , amongst various health reason, consumption of slimming pills that may have been prescribed my unethical sinsehs.Thank god she is getting better now. But I could understand her angst, though i do not condone on her taking such pills.

My interview went all very well. It was a 4 hours long sumptuous dinner , with the rain pounding so terribly outside. I can't reveal much here. But I am taking Business Chinese in Chinese Chamber of commerce in the coming month. i am taking each one at a time. Que Sera Sera.

Despite all the shopping and deserts that gives me immense pleasure, I enjoy the companionship of my hk friends. I begin to understand and also accept each and everyone of their eccentricities. Eliminating the jesters, keeping a closer knit hangout gang.

With this trip, I am learning to wear my ego down. To see things at a more neutral point. To make my love for my loved ones felt. To isolate my life drama from work. To do gym for the love. To see tranquil in chaos. To do what my heart says.For we live this life just once.

Batman Begins.

I love this quote from the movie :
It is not what i am but what I do that defines me.

Just got home after watching Batman Begins with Kian & Elmo. I dig all cartoon heros ! Esp batman..actually He-man ,She-la , care bears, smurfs etc ..as well but they are never featured..heh.

Anyway. it was great. Dinner was great except the service. But i shouldn't expect much from a cafe on a busy night. Anyway, a young waiter was not spared of my venom..heh.

Oh ya..i am putting off my travelogue entry to tomorrow nite. Cause it's a quiet nite at home wif rosie ,after work of course.

My Hongkong pals

These are my hongkong frens that make my trip as enjoyable as they possibly could. Janet and Dorothy are missing in the mast. Dorothy , one of my dearest gal fren, was admitted to hospital on the day i arrived in HK. Overdose of slimming pills plus other health problems. Will reveal more on it in my coming travelogue entry. Janet , another of my dear gal pal, is busy juggling between her daughter's coming exam revision, dorothy's hospitalisation and work.

My Zodiac Sign

Saw this at babe's blog. I am a sucker for all these zodiac alamanc thingy. So here goes:

You Were Actually Born Under:

Full of spunk, you are the original party animal. You bring fun, activity, and stimulation to any event. Self-control is not one of your strong points; you have been known to over indulge. Cheerful and energetic, you can turn the most boring thing into something fun. You are most compatible with a Rat or Dragon.

You Should Have Been Born Under:

You are solid, methodical, and you do things right the first time. Even when no one else does, you always believe in yourself. You tend to see the world in black and white, right or wrong. A good memory and eye for details means you tend to thrive at near impossible tasks. You are most compatible with a Snake or Rooster.

What Year Were You Born Under?

Recharged!

Just got back at abt 9pm. Just done wif cleaning up some stuff and playin a bit wif rosie. Got my photos uploaded into my com.

This trip is refreshing as much as it is enriching. Will blog more tomorrow or during the weekends wif all the photos up in my Flickr photolog.its work tomorrow! And i m looking forward!

Darling Darling Darlings..

HK 16 Jun - 22 Jun , explicitly for my own leisure. No mobile, No work calls ! :-)

My luggage

Almost done with my packing. My cosmetic box & my shirt pants for e interview left only. Is this too much? Darn, i have been scrutinizing all the clothing to make sure i bring minimal. Cause i always end up paying a lot for excessive luggage during my shopping trips. Yes . Sigh,,everytime. Dun these airline companies empathise with shopaholics here? Where's the justice? How could we don our pretty outfits with matching everythings? They have belittled the glamor queens ! We help their economy when all we are given is 20kg!We can packed only so little! I need a gym change + no frill shopping outfit + night out clothes everyday..arghh and the matching shoes! And that excludes the stuffs i am stocking up,,oh dear..arghh..i have to streamline more

Evening with Kian

Went with Kian for our long overdue dinner. It has been so long since we last sat down and talk. I was feeling all queasy when I was driving there. Bouts of nervousness that i will jeopardise our already delicate state of friendship. Au contraire, we overpour with recent updates, all so smoothly.

Its predominantly my own doing for the overdue dinner. I dun wanna meet and sound like i am oh-so-high-on-prozac when we sit down and hv dinner. i feel this is the right time. Its pre-hk interview and i hv no doubt that this friendship precedes my alter ego .

Now that all are lovely, i am gonna focus on work this few days! its gonna be busy busy busy..

Sat out!

My No.12 geek chic

I concede defeat. I have been having dreams of it ever since i saw it on display at Cineleisure. It got worse when Babe got it. I succumb to my No.12 as you can see. I promise this will last tilll Sept as W800i will only be out then. heh..Actually getting this phone is also partially my practicality kicking in.Let me convince:

10 reasons why this is The phone of the moment:

1. It matches my Bottega and Gucci Strap
2. It's Black - my fave color
3. It comes with a 64MB memory card which provides a dual use for my Cybershot
4. Its a steal at S$300 after trade in w/out line.
5. I can sync with my iBook via bluetooth. As such , all my phone ccontacts will have a back up.
6. It's 2 mega pixel.
7. I am a more Sony kinda guy.
8. If i dun get it, i will end up wif one more sleepless nite, which in turn will waste the microderm session i did today.
9. I love it.
10. Hmmm..I love it very much now

*****
Check out the cat with enema . its so cute!

Hardly a suspense but gets hauntingly creepy after finishing the book.

Last Chance Saloon

"Read Marian Keyes Last Chance Saloon to the last fifty or so pages and decided to stop. its literally suffocating me now. The characters are immensely frictional. i mean how can all tragedy ends with a happy ending? How does a deluded just simply got it all turn around with everything?! Sigh..i m getting all worked up for watever reasons..i think its the sleepless nites. Its gnawing on me..Going for a cold shower." - Before a cold shower + 2 aspirins

Okay. The aspirin is wearing me down. Tussled with my irateness albeit no apparent reason to my oxymoronic bout of depression. Partially work issues, piled with my usual inner demons riding high.

Dun worry folks. I am picturing myself walking this thin rod in mid air,a step at one time. I can brace myself. Its in the mind.Its in the mind..

Ego

" Sometimes ego makes all of us so crippled."

The quo is self explanatory. no pun intended. Right smack to the point.

Someone said that to me a long time ago. Recently, this bellowing voice found its way of cracking into my sleep deprived brains. Ego. Which part of the word do i not relate to?

Food@Fitness Cafe

Tonight's Menu :

1. Grilled Dory Fish
2. Steamed Tofu
3. Egg white

Topped with low calories Bolognese Sauce

I have been patronising fitness cafe at raffles cali everytime i gym there. I like the fact that all of what i digest is light and non greasy. It does wonder for me, just to eat there..Cause i will feel so in tune wif the whole holistic healthy living that i will stay clear oily food for the day! heh heh..Himbolicious is my way. It is The new black! Yes , a capital H.

On a more serious note, I smashed someone's car plate whilst driving today. There goes a hundred bucks..Fortunately, my zippy car is intact and the driver did not pursue the case. Pheww..I was really groggy this morning. I couldnt sleep a wink till this morning at 6. Reckon i wouldnt drive if i cant get to sleep tonight.

Anyway, i did this mast thru-out the sleepless nite yesterday. i like it :-)



Gonna go back to my book. Current book : Last chance Saloon by Marian Keyes.

Rumination

"I have absolute passion im my job. Bitches cant spoil my glamourous day.I have absolute passion im my job. Bitches cant spoil my glamourous day.I have absolute passion im my job.

Bitches cant spoil my glamourous day.I have absolute passion im my job. Bitches cant spoil my glamourous day."

its such an enthralling day. i have to constantly ruminate this phase to keep myself going. Skipped gym today and binge on crackers! I can feel the carbohydrates overpowering my enzymes , retarding my digestion, leeching on my intestines , becoming FATS! Oh no, I am going to have lard all over my waist and my arms are going to balloon! Oh no!! [heh..just over reacting here..but i reckon if i dun gym and stop tat binge..it will!]

The day ends with the limelight on my car. Some losers that , may their mouth and hans rot for all eternity, casually stuck a used chewing gum on my car front! It was a mess when i removed it! Arghhh..going to turn in soon. hope i can sleep tonight.

My new gym shoes!

cant sleep

Darn it..i dunno this is my number wat sleepless nite. Just popped a pill. Cant stand it anymore. hope i will doze soon enough.

This is the least i can do..

Okay. I am going to rant from one topic to another rather quickly today.

*****

I was late again for combat this morning. My heartfelt thanks to the inventor of the SNOOZE button! Arghh..
I love the laksa pasta at bloodbro cafe in Paragon! Gonna drag babe there again next week! Superb!
Think Leong called today..but dunno wat 3rd world country he is in..the reception is miserable! Didnt get a chance to talk to him :-(
Finished work early and went gym [again!] for pump! I think my life has reached stagnation. its gym, work, gym and on and on..

******
[ Ask W.Y permission before i blog abt this online..with the blog headline, contributed by his ex]

I wanted to blog abt this, becos i could feel his helplessness and despair over this matter. I think it also reflects wat many of my mates are goin thru as well.] Anyway , here goes..

What is the least you can do to make your loved ones happy ? Many have given away their world, their all to their families , their good buddies and , mostly, their loved ones.It is the most sorrowful thing to know that the least thing we can do is to exit from his or her life. My dear W.Y went thru this turmoil lately. It must be hell for both of them. To decide and have the courage to exit from each other's life after all these years.its courageous as it is inevitable. Life 's every twist and turn, not something that we can comprehend fully.

Simplicity has its beauty , so does eccentricities, in its own rights.
To part, is also another way to mark ur love for him.
To allow him to grow, to stumble, to be on the preying game again.
It may be for the better.
To see the quiet beauty in chaos seems absurd.
But in a larger light, isnt life ,itself, an ironical mockery esp for all queers?

Friends will be there. For you and for him.
At least i know I will.
So smile, for you did the right thing. :-)
