Why do you want to get involved?

The post is hereby removed as L is right that the person is not even a friend so why do I want to get involved. He's right. Stop being a KPO, Chub.

RANDOM in VIETNAM

This must be my month of highest visiting frequency.

Lady says my fingers too small can only draw ONE flower per tip.

When i asked the limitedEnglandspeaking waitress in one Danang cafe for Coffee with Ice, this was what she gave me..

Staring out at nothing gives such tranquility at times..

At atas Marriot..

I ordered room service and jumped on the bed!! Woohoo!

L n my schedule shld clash more!

WAHhhh.

this was the only response i could give Ms Feng when she related what happened to her friend's friend. i was flabbergasted.

It's one thing to exclaim 'it's my life n i do wat i wan' when people are all free and available to make any choice before the contract is inked.

It's another when they have both stamped and sealed the agreement.

why make yourself so pathetic?

HAHAHA

Luffin' Juice - Ha.Ha.Ha.

I'm a genius!!!

Fun in Hanoi

i am lazy so this post won't have any pics. wait til i gather the mood to download from my sd card. or steal from shyan. :p

past few days were fun with Shyan around. At least i was out of the room more. at least i had company for breakfast,lunch n dinner. at least i can turn off the lights when i sleep.

If not for Shyan i will not have been to THAT KFC. I will not have gone down to Hoan Kiem lake AGAIN. I would not have drank so much coffee. I would not have eaten so many meals. I would not have tried Bobby Chinn. I will also not have done waxing - i had so sworn NOT to do it again. tmd.

altho Shyan was onebigirritatingkuku at TV times, he was still a joy to have around! (ok,give me that 20bucks u promised).

Here i am alone again. 10 more days. damn.

tired of waiting

How many five years do you have?

Ethan Kong has grown grown grown. how fast kids stretch!

DUMBLEDORE's CHOCS

A superdupergenerouskindheartedhandsomeyandaoofakind gave this to me! ;)

RED CLIFF OUTING

The 4 Thousand Gold had a rare chance to go to the movies together. Red Cliff was terrific, cant wait for the sequel. We had a good time goofing around after that.

Bought SO MUCH sushi PLS and Chub ended up being tortured by Pumpkin n PBS. This was for supper mind u.

I think PLS had the most fun.

I think I had fun too.
L was in this pic too - guess where?!

Celebration!

brought the family out for a treat 2 nights ago. i love this photo - Ma looks so cute sticking her neck out! Check out PBS too. haha. And, spot Pumpkin! :p
identify! :P

i didnt realise it was L's first participation on this side of the extended family. totally missed out introducing him until i was prompted..poor L to get neglected. by me. :P

HCMC Jun 08

last min trip. Short n sweet. In n out. I like!

A friend brought me to have this Hue food located on the 2nd floor and the staircase up was so winding and narrow u really cant imagine how. i think they basically have something against Chubbies. anyway, so this dish is apparently the most famous, didnt catch the name. promise to find out. Like Chwee Kueh, tasty with Fish Sauce!

hung out at this ice cream store on sat afternoon aft all my appointments. the best thing about Vietnam is free wifi's everywhere. cleared emails, finished my report there! i love the decor in this shop - pink chairs and REAL bright yellow sunflowers. This is very close to the kind of concept i will like for mine!

Agent brought me to this local food place to have soft-sell crab Viet style. these baby sized crabs were so alive n kicking at the entrance.

my sweet sweet agents. obviously belonging to the other extreme- those whom Singaporeans men are more exposed to.

my usual Viet delicacies.,BunCha, Viet coffee.
yes that's spring roll.

Shyan has this knack to make me like the songs on his blog. cant get it out of my head now. damn.

F.O

OK?

I know International Friends' Week has past (or has it?), but i still wish to celebrate my friends.

You'll reach an age when it's not about how many friends anymore, it's about WHO they are.
And I so love mine.

In Sunny Singapore, there arent really trying circumstances for us to test our resilience. Not that we ever need them. There ARE already enough situations to make you see WHO your friends are. Sometimes, even outside of Singapore.

I have not noticed when it was that the word Friend has taken on a totally new meaning. You've spent your whole life with this word and suddenly it's presenting a different facet to you.

But i've noticed my ATTITUDE's changed though. I don't bother taking initiatives anymore with people who doesnt fall into my self-thoughtout definition. This is definitely non-offensive. It's purely from my own respect.

I used to have thoughts like: Hey but we just met, why are we meeting again?
Not anymore.
I realised that Friends are people whom you can meet and see everyday without feeling bored. you do not even notice you met last month, last week, yesterday or a few hours ago. for the same matter, you also do not sense the long period of non-meeting.

Fact is, you do not feel the sense of absence exactly because they are already in your heart.

Ok now you'll say you'll miss certain people when you don't see them for a period, so hey isnt that noticing the absence? No. It's not. It's accentuating their places in your heart.

Don't get it?
Nvm.
I do.
and it's all that matters.

I always feel Three aint enough. Million cheers to You, Chub's Friend.

A Thai, a Viet and a Singaporean girl.

Friend J likened

1. a Singaporean girl to a doctor - you need one for the correct and logical analysis.
2. a Viet one to a physiotherapist - functional and pragmatic
3. a Thai girl to a masseuse - pleasurable without tangible benefits

What do you reckon? ;)

i do blabber.

Is it my business?

The Happening

is a movie that probably will make you draw your knees, wrap around them, hide in a corner and do some serious thinking about Saving Gaia.

Read that N Shayamalan was inspired while walking through a forest/vast land/river/nature. whichever i cant recall. but the idea's that he got the plot when in touch with plants. with the weird character he is being protrayed as, no surprise if he says the plants communicated with him.

The way our Earth's turning out - unexpected showers in non-rainy seasons, ultra high temperatures in moderate climate, rising sea levels threatening to inundate Tuvalu - small wonder it's the plants' turn to retaliate.

What have we done?
