LOL! I don't like the fact that I see my friend's weird face every time I go to my blog. I'm sure you feel the same way too, yeah? So, I have decided to write another post.

Well, it says here on the coutdown in my computer that there's 43 more days left to Singapore. It feels a little like deja vu really... But I feel that this year has past by extremely fast for me. I think my mother started the countdown a few months ago (when there was 90+ days left to Singapore). Last year, I started counting down during... April?

Next month is going to be a stressful month. Exams and studying... I know everyone back in Singapore has finished their exams (looking at you, Chloe). Lucky.

Right now I'm still a little bit slack. Just preparing myself for the worst in a few weeks time...

City Trip

My class took a trip to the city yesterday. Fun, but tiring to walk around...

Omg. Look at his face!!!

There are more on my friend's phone but... don't have 'em yet.

Dad's Oil Paintings

In reference to "Dad's Latest Oil Painting", I decided to post past oil paintings from my Dad. They are so good for a beginner! But he's probably a pro now, right Dad?

My personal favourite. Miss ya Jean.


These portraits are actually on the same canvas. But for some reason... I can't find a picture of them both together. So, this will have to do. In these pictures, Gonggong's portrait was already finished but Mama's was 90% finished... =]

And of course there's this painting. :)

Singapore Day '08

Singapore Day! It is a time where overseas Singaporeans get together to taste real authentic Singaporean food and appreciate Singapore's talented people. As one would expect, it was a sellout! It exceeded maximum capacity (6000 people max.)!

We reached the place at 10:00 am. We expected to be early as the gate opens at 10:30 am. But surprise, surprise! Even overseas Singaporeans are just as kiasu! The queue stretched from here...

To here...

To here...!

While waiting for queue to move, we took a few pictures to pass the time.


After getting in, we went straight for FOOD! Debbie aimed for roti prata and I aimed for mee siam. It was a long-but-not-too long queue (20 minutes). The portion was so little though. But I expected that, seeing how there are SO MANY SINGAPOREANS in this place!

Now, we headed to getting goodie bags! I mean, who wouldn't like free stuff, esp. Singaporeans!


After this, we went to queue for chicken rice! Debbie took hokkien mee and Mum took char kuey teow. We were too tired to take any pics while waiting as it was so hot and I couldn't be bothered to hold a camera. I finally got it, and it was fairly good. But again, it was too small a portion. Sigh...

Then we went to watch a concert... It was so windy and cold that I had to walk in the sun for a while. This time I managed to take pictures.

Two hosts came on stage. I can't remember their names. If you know, tell me! They came with Gurmit Singh, in his ever famous Phua Chu Kang role. He was so funny like I expected.


Then a few singers came to sing songs like "Home" and other songs.


Then Daphne Khoo came up and sung 2 songs. Her voice sounded very chipmunk-like. But still good...

After a few boring performances, Phua Chu Kang finally came out! With his family! They introduced themselves, and did a skit about Melbourne and stuff... Like always, it was as funny as anyone would have hoped for.


Tay Ping Hui came out later and sang two songs. The only one I remembered was the theme song of HUANG JIN LU! I was very excited about that!

After, Hady Mirza sang two songs, one in Malay and the other, a U2 song "Beautiful Day". Didn't get to take any pictures because we were about to go back. Overall, a good day with a good theme.

Beloved Jean:

Words can't express how much pain and sorrow I felt
When I heard that you had taken your final breath
I ask so many unanswered questions
But all I can think about is your untimely death

Questions slowly turn to regret
That I didn't spend much time with you in the past
How was I supposed to know?
That our meeting in December would be our last

I cry, sob and weep
That I never got a chance to say goodbye
Did you think about me...
When you finally closed your eyes?

I'm already missing your snow-white fur
Your eager friendliness towards humans
The way to wag your tail when you're excited
And those cute eyes of sweet sweet innocence

You're the best dog I ever had
You always had been
I'll never ever forget you
And I'll always love you, my precious Jean
