Melbourne Memories

2010-08-15T06:04:00.000-07:00

Hi guys! It's us hazel n nuttnutt again to show off our Melbourne trip with Paba and Mame to the rest of the poohies. It's the first time hazel n nuttnutt take plane with paba n mame so we were both very excited! Oki.. hazel was very excited, nuttnut was very scared. But all in all, we had a lot of fun! Below are the pictures that we took during the first few days of our trip and they bring back many good memories for us. :) Hope u enjoy!

At Changi airport, nuttnutt help paba n mame to take pictures. Look like the picture they took 2 years ago when they first got together. :)

Den Paba help us take picture at the waiting lobby before we board the plane. We heard Melbourne very cold so we wore our beanies. :)

Hazel was very excited that we were off the ground and thousands of feet in the air! At this time, Nuttnutt should have been vomitting somewhere.

When we got to Melbourne airport, first time we see such a special tree! Singapore dun have.

On the way to Victoria Market to shop shop.

Ah ma use this navigate her way from Queen Vic Market to Uncle Ah Bee house.

We went to Mcdonald's at Queen Vic Market. (okok i know picture cannot tell)

Queen Vic Market!

Ah Ma very good at buying food at Queen Vic Market and go back cook for us to eat. :)

Mame looks so sweet eating donuts!

Paba n Mame brought us to eat hot, freshly-made donuts from this van in Queen Vic Market. They are very nice! This is also one of Paba's n Mame's fond memories of the place.

Hazel n nuttnutt distracted with other stuff... there are so many things to see! :D

After that Paba n Mame took a rest on the bench outside the korean grocery store. Notice Mame wearing a black coat? She just buy for Queen Vic Market oni. Very nice!

Here we are!

Sigh... looking at these pictures make us wanna go back there again. Back in Singapore, Mame stressed with her Korean lessons, Paba stressed with his test next week... nobody play with hazel n nuttnutt. Mame also just pluck out her wisdom tooth. Hope she feels better already so we can go out kai kai again! Oki till next time guys... we'll post more pictures of our trip to see penguins and Tazmania. Paba n Mame we love u!

Hi guys... this is hazel n nuttnutt! Been a long time since we've wrote on Paba's blog but seeing how boring it is... we decided to put our cute faces here to liven it up! :)

Paba n Mame brought us to Australia lately to show us where they played last time and we had a great time! Mame at first din wanna bring us cos she thought we might get lost or somebody might take us away. She's a worry wart. Anyways we had a great time! We took many nice pictures n our beanies came to good use cos it was freezing sometimes.

For now, we'll post the pictures we took in Gold Coast! Hazel was expecting the coast to be full of gold but keeheehee... she's a silly poohie. We din take any pictures in Dreamworld cos Nuttnutt was such a scaredy pooh n din want ppl to see him vomitting. Anyhow hope u'll enjoy the pictures! :)

Pretty Mame... walking down the street.

Beauty and the Beast.

A really glaring view from our hotel room!

Can u see our little poohie footprints? :)

Finally some cute pictures.

Family shadow.

Paba caught us kissing! Basket!

We post this picture cos Paba looks like he has mumps or sumthin... bleah.

Hurt people, hurt people.

2010-07-25T07:40:00.000-07:00

Wat a terrible weekend, to say the least. Nothing seemed to go right which ever way you look at it. I've lost the impetus and drive suddenly... trying to be laid back to let off some steam but dat backfired pretty badly. I really regret not being more 'on the ball' these weeks. I dunno if it's the tiredness, the stress of the unknown or the pressure of expectations but the fact of the matter is i've failed to deliver.. and dat is wat matters.

One thing led to another and erps.. the Pandora's Box is open. Nothing i've not heard before, but some things, said frequently enough, stick pretty well in the head- too well to shake off. Downcast and out, even my body's shutting down for the moment... but dat's abt the least of my concerns. They say hurt people, hurt people. I've done my share of damage to Mame to be pointing fingers.

I really miss Mame, hazel n nuttnutt... no amount of lying in bed can heal dat heartache.

2010-05-08T20:50:00.000-07:00

Hello paba. I am bee.

i am flying

Wee!!

wanna dedicate this song to hazel.

2010-04-27T06:55:00.001-07:00

2010-04-26T07:09:00.000-07:00

Din do nuthin at work, din call Woody, mum's confirmed diabetic, din watch amazing race...

nobody to lean on.

2010-04-25T07:01:00.000-07:00

~So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on~

Happy birthday from thailand!

2010-03-06T20:41:00.000-08:00

Today is hazel n nutt's birthday but paba is not with them. :( Paba noes it's all his fault he choose to fly off to some jungle to train but now his mind is at home... with hazel, nutt n mame. Sigh... oni thing paba can do now is to show my babies some pictures of my first week here.

Paba got off the plane n got flowers to welcome him.

After packing n some admin for the first few days... they let paba go to the town to walk walk. See? the streets of korat.

This is some heroine that the thais respect n pray to... this is also the square that demonstrations will begin from, if any.

They also bring paba to this temple to see the famous squatting monk. He is renowned to be able to bring prosperity. His famous pose is squatting and smoking a cigar. Paba went there to see him in person... he very old already. Pray that Paba n mame's family will be prosperous... Hazel nutt n the poohies will have lotsa poohie money. :)

These buildings remind me of the pictures i took with mame and bee when we went to bangkok!

I miss the times wif mame n bee.

Come evening we went to this huge marketplace very much like Chatuchak Market in Bangkok... where i started my shopping spree.. :)

I got doraemon fan n earrings for my hazel. i think Thai pple love doraemon. They r everywhere! Later i'll go buy Doraemon soft toy for my girl... her birthday present. :)

I got mame a few dresses... this is one of them. i got all the korean looking dresses... the dresses here look like those u can find in bugis street.. but slightly cheaper. Hope mame likes. :)

This is nuttnutt's birthday present. He loves my melody n i noe he misses paba very much... at least at first.

After a bit of R&R, paba's work began. Due to confidentiality, paba cannot too many pictures but this is the view of thailand from a helicopter. Looks nice hor? But it's friggin' hot in thailand n one can get motion sickness in the chopper. :(

This is a higher view from the side of the chopper.

Come monday, it's another week of training at the airbase and in the jungles. Only thing i look forward to now is being home sweet home with my babies... hopefully there'll be some poohies to welcome me when i'm back.

Happy birthday hazel n nutt... happy 22nd month anniversary mame! I miss u guys terribly... Deep inside... this is where i wanna be...

... holding my babies close to me. i love u all. MUAKZ!

Last Christmas...

2010-03-04T09:29:00.000-08:00

Now Paba's sadsad... sad sad dat he cannot be wif mame when mame needs him the most. He is still stuck in some airbase taking helicopters everyday to look for some uncles lost in the jungle. But Paba still ask Hazel to blog so mame will be entertained while he is away. So hazel asked nuttnutt to dig out some old photos for mame to see...

These pictures were taken last christmas. I remember paba brought mame n us to a japanese restaurant at wheelock place. The food was nice! a bit more expensive than usual but paba pays anyway heehee. Nuttnutt n i always get good food to eat. :) Mame dun sadsad... left about a week den paba will be home sweet home with u, me n nuttnutt!

16th month anniversary (in September)

2009-12-26T21:43:00.000-08:00

Hallo, my name is Nuttnutt. Recently my mame is not very happy n always cry... but paba's always busy playing his gunbound n never cheer her up. Hazel's still sleeping. So Nuttnutt went to find some old anniversary pictures (also me n hazel's birthday) that paba n mame take a long time ago so that i can blog n maybe mame read already she'll feel happier. :)

Paba n mame went to play tennis so hair wet wet after they bathe. Paba head look like coconut.

After that paba n mame went Tampines mall food court to eat mame's favourite fish soup. Paba was busy trying to use wifi on his phone to check BC launch.

So mame entertain herself my photo whoring.

Chummy couple shot, the 2 poohies below r not me and hazel btw.

Here we are. The one in blue is me, and the one in pink is my gf hazel. She's not staring at u... it's just the way she looks at pple. :)

Guess what was our birthday gift? (Hint: not the cupcakes)

Next weekend, Paba n mame went to town to snap polaroid pictures! This is St Andrew's Cathedral.

After that they went to eat Thai food at Shaw Towers... see how much paba feeds mame?

And den some home-made icecream in the stall opposite... looks like a hand doing a Victory sign.

A couple of things make mame happy... ice cream...
... and coach bags. :)

Mame and Mr Coconut-head.

See see... some of the polaroid pictures they took.

Heehee this is a small collage Nuttnutt made of Paba n mame checking each other out. :)

Paba said he was gonna do it but he always forgets... does that all the time. Anyways, mame... if u're reading this... cheer up n smile more oki? Nuttnutt like to see mame smile. i like to see hazel smile also. oki? Nuttnutt give u big smile. :D

A smile on my face.

2009-12-03T08:16:00.000-08:00

I realize the importance of pictures. Random outings like those below are easily forgotten... out of sight, out of mind. In these busy times, even more so. So these pictures serve as a reminder of the good times and sometimes, the awful times together. Whichever they are, looking back, they always bring a smile to my face.

THIS SECTION IS DEDICATED TO CHEEZE N BERGER

Too fatt.

Cheeze (i think.)

Berger (if the first guess is correct.)

Cheeze n Berger. (this one i'm sure.)

2009-10-18T05:52:00.000-07:00

Wee! Paba n mame bringing us to go sit cable car!

Hazel: Hallo! Nutt: oki... nott too bad.

Nutt: can we go down already?

Hazel: Woooooh!

Hazel is distracted, Nutt's afraid of heights.

Nuttnutt needs to eat something after vomitting.

My babies.

Hazel pee in her pampers.

Taptap n tuptup's cable car family day!

A special sms on 09.09.09 at 9.09 am

2009-09-09T07:37:00.000-07:00

Tuptup's painfully ordinary morning was awoken by the sweetest sms ever from taptap. It read, "... will be together forever"

I realized it's one thing to give sweet msgs to ur loved one... but it's totally another to be on the receiving end. An exceptional feeling to say the least.

I'm not sure i noe wat true happiness really is, but i believe i caught a glimpse of it...

... at 9:09 am this morning.

We are Singapooh... we are Singapooh!

2009-08-31T05:50:00.000-07:00

We are Singapooh... Kaya n Guyu.

U noe how taptap n tuptup will look like next time?

Tada!

My mom n pop.
My baby.

KTV wif Baby n Bee.

2009-08-30T06:16:00.000-07:00

Bee is a mike hogger.

Look at Bee's unhappy face.

Honey gets to showcase her vocals...

Bee takes the stage.

Simply put.

2009-08-10T08:37:00.000-07:00

On the 8th of August at 8:15pm sharp, Taptap poured a cup of water for Tuptup. Tuptup is in complete bliss. Tuptup has everything he wants n needs in life.

Taptap.

i guess i've been living in a world of my own...

2009-07-22T09:00:00.000-07:00

Sleepless nights n sleepy days.

What would i do without taptap?

2009-07-18T23:28:00.000-07:00

flower n pott

July has been an interesting month! Couple of weeks back was hazel n nutt's birthday on the 7th day of the 7th month n it was their 7th birthday celebration. 777... sounds like an auspicious number. And so i commented to taptap dat this month's gonna be really lucky for us!

Well, the month rolled on to a perfect start as taptap fell down on her way to work n broke a poohie mug tuptup bought for her... in the process her ezlink card mysteriously disappeared as well... Paba n Mame got into a few quarrels here n there... n as if rubbing it in, mame missed her much awaited launch through a culmination of unfortunate events that probably required the sun, moon n earth to allign. (ok i noe there's a solar ecllipse soon but dat's not wat i meant.)

Heh. not-so-lucky month after all. We even brought hazel n nutt in front of the altar to "get rid of evil spirits" n tuptup n taptap bought a new poohie handphone to wash away the bad luck... but to no apparent avail. Anyways it's all superstition n it'll go away very soon. :)

As we reminisced the past year of our relationship, we laffed at the moments when we got upset cos tuptup took a bite at the apple first... tuptup was staring at the zookeeper... tuptup took too long... tuptup made taptap wait at suntec while he bought earphones to "surprise"
her... tuptup forgot this, forgot that... In short, tuptup's not the brightest bear around.

In her very own words, taptap says she's "trying to spice up the relationship" and she has to constantly think of new n creative stuff to get angry with. My, my... wat hard work it must be on my little baby... sometimes tuptup wishes she wouldn't tire herself so much haha! =p So much for being self-professed love gurus... we can't even sort ourselves out... maybe dat's y it's love.

Chuckle. chuckle.

So the question begs... what would i do without taptap?

what rivers do without mountains...

Taptap, my little taptap...

2009-07-02T20:32:00.001-07:00

After slogging (ok, not exactly) for months, Tuptup n taptap took a well-deserved weekend getaway to A'Famosa Resort, Malacca! It was part of a company-organised trip and clearly not the smoothest of trips, no thanks to the atrocious organisers.

BUT, for the most part, Tuptup, taptap, honey n bee had loads of fun by ourselves. Here's the itinerary... a (totally forgettable) buffet lunch at some shabby "lakeview" restaurant, Animal Safari, (easily the best) BBQ buffet dinner, fantabulous Cowboy Town and Water World theme park the next morning in between 2 buffet meals. :)

Tho we only had an hour at the Animal Safari, ironically, fortune favoured the unfortunate n we caught a splendid elephant show. Timing was perfect. For some reason, Tuptup n taptap have a penchant for these gentle giants. They were brilliant! Cycling, football, basketball... really cute! Oh did i say we got to feed them? :D

BBQ buffet dinner was splend-tastic! The restaurant was beautiful to say the least so tuptup n taptap reached a little earlier to snap some pics!

Highlight of the Night: Cowboy Town! Think wild wild west-theme park with horses, malay cowboys, fire-breathing Red Indians, Chingay-style carnival display and a surprise fireworks display to cap it off!

Pictures won't do justice to the Cowboy Town so watch this space for a VIDEO UPDATE!

Next morning we awoke to buffet breakfast n water world! No pictures cos camera wouldn't have survived the water... but it was SOLID fun. :) Taptap n tuptup especially loved one ride where we sat with 5 other people in a donut-shaped tube down a 7-storey water slide. Another one was a huge slide (think Singapore Big Splash) certainly not for the faint-hearted. Taptap showed she had more balls than some guys who din dare try the ride. *plants big L on forehead*

Oki. So we survived the water theme park n headed back to our Resort hotel clubhouse for buffet lunch and it was time to head home!

All in all, a great trip to let our hair down for a bit, do some retail therapy. Bee was particularly upset we had to leave, but happy he could go home to his karaoke machine. Honey was just glad she bought her ma ti su (chestnut puff) and tao sa piah (bean paste biscuit)

Ooooo... there's something about...

2009-06-22T06:39:00.000-07:00

Bee's really into singing these days, and i must say he's pretty good at karaoke. That's y Honey's totally in love with him. She's just a housepooh but she takes really good care of him. They make a great pair :)

Another inseparable pair would have to be Hazel n Nutt. They excitedly celebrated Paba's n Mame's 13th month anniversary with a sponsored trip to the zoo! OF COURSE some of the excitement came from the thrill of seeing Nutt's uncle goat n auntie rabbit; Hazel's white tiger. :) The wait was over!

Paba n mame loves elephants!
Waiting for the elephant show!

still upset over the dead zookeeper
hazel's favourite lioness
Nutt trying to imitate his polar bear

And to cap the fantastic day off... we got to see the malayan sunbears! They're the smallest bears in the world. You'll see what i mean below. Enjoy. :)

Facets of my life

2009-06-14T06:47:00.000-07:00

mon night after work, i am happy. i play with my teddies

these are just some simple stuff abt me. HAHAHAHHAA

Can two people in love be happily together forever?

2009-06-09T22:52:00.000-07:00

"Look, in my opinion, the best thing u can do is find a person who loves u for exactly what u are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have u. The right person's still gonna think the sunshine's outta your ass. That's the kinda person that's worth sticking with."

26 on 26th.

2009-06-02T08:02:00.001-07:00

Last weekend, tuptup n taptap went to SCC to celebrate tuptup's birthday... or something like dat haha! we went to play table tennis wif my bro and pop... met a weird, arrogant indian boy who wanted to show off his ping pong skills... after dat, we played tennis until tuptup n taptap were dead tired and went for a dip in the pool!

There's this slide thingy for kids and overgrown kids. since we were very much in the category, we played on the slide a few times. :) We found out that when we took the slide down... it was more fun for 2 people to go down together! the person behind more exciting haha!

Here's a video dat my babies made for me to celebrate my birthday! taptap got tuptup an ipod! tuptup very touched! :)

It's ZOOOOOOOOOO time! Hazel n nutt have been waiting for this day for a long time! Especially nutt nutt. He's been planning and checking out the zoo map ever since paba won a ballot to go zooey for free.

The zoo trip's also to celebrate tuptup n taptap's 13th month! let's hope it doesn't rain or wat... it's been some time since tuptup n taptap went on a full outing and we WILL have a good time! :) Nutt nutt has packed his bag, packed his lunchbox n has been a good boy all week. 1 more day and it's uncle goat and auntie rabbit time! Yipppeeeee!

In 3 minutes...

2009-05-25T08:49:00.000-07:00

In 3 minutes, tuptup turn's 26! And taptap was the first to wish me happy birthday! Well she did it on her blog and i read before anyone else wished me so for me that counts haha! Anyways, i guess at 26... one piece of good news is... i don't feel 26 (i noe i sure look like i am... or older) Like Benjamin Button, i feel like i'm getting younger as my days get older.

I'm spending more family time with my folks and bro like we used to when i was little... i'm playing with teddie bears and poohies like i used to... i speak n write n talk like a six-year-old... and i have a wonderful girlfriend taptap who feels like my first love.

And like a six-year-old, i'm looking forward to what life has to offer... n what i have to offer life.

'Cause we were both young when i first saw you...

1st-year anniversary!

2009-05-10T06:53:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday was Taptap n Tuptup's 1st year anniversary! Wow... i can't believe it's been so long! Notti Taptap claims that it's about time we broke up. Hazel often prophesizes the end of our relationship. Fortunately, Tuptup is unbelievably thick-skinned n Nutt is err... well... too dense to understand what a break-up is. Heehee. Hence, against all odds... we're still together!

Since hazel n nutt were born on the same day... everybody huddled around to celebrate their birthday!

Actually some months ago, i thought of many things to write, many things to say when we reach this 1-year milestone. Somehow, now i'm speechless. Like it doesn't really matter what i say. What matters is, we're together and hazel n nutt have each other. The rest... as they say... is background music.

Finished pasta at wine company... and lotsa free time.

Taptap with her anniversary gift!

Tuptup's... err... early birthday gift! haha!

Tuptup, taptap, tcc.

Hazel: Nutt, i think we're not suitable for each other... Let's take a break from each other.
Nutt: Hmm? (tilts head) Hazel, i dun like Kit Kats.
*Hazel finds Nutt unbearably, stoopidly cute and changes her mind*
*Nutt hasn't a clue what is happening*

A short long weekend.

2009-05-03T07:39:00.000-07:00

It's der labour day long weekend! and tuptup n taptap planned a string of activities to entertain ourselves! Poor baby taptap fell ill halfway thru the weekend... and it's tuptup's fault! Tuptup passed her the swine flu. (tuptup born in the year of the pig.)

Nonetheless, we managed to still do some relaxing stuff over the weekend. Hope these pictures will cheer taptap up n chase the fluuuuuuu bug away!

Chubby and Hubby getting ready to eat.

Palawan Beach!

Friday, we decided to do a mini-picnic at sentosa. taptap made some bee hoon with the help of her mummy. Den tuptup made some brownies. Together we made some banana muffins. Yum yum! Den we drove all the way to Palawan Beach, pitched a tent, took a dip in the sea slept the late afternoon away! Boop boop.

Doraemon and his new bag (contains everything taptap needs)

One of life's mysteries: How did a fugly guy like this...

... end up with a sweetheart like this?!

After a quick shower... we headed downtown to walk around and take pictures with Chubby and Hubby. They don't come out really often so we have to show them around. Unfortunately taptap was starting to feel a little unwell so we left early to go home for a late dinner! (tapao bak chor mee and pork porridge from Blk 85)

Chubby and Walter's secret rendezvous

taptap sneaked a shot of unsuspecting tuptup.

Jacuzzi wif taptap, chubby n walter!

Saturday! We were supposed to play some tennis in the morning but she thot to give it a miss. Instead, Tuptup brought taptap to Seletar Country Club to take a relaxing dip in the Jacuzzi and a short game of bowling! It was fun! But air con at bowling alley was a bit too cold... tink taptap felt worse as the nite came.

Poor baby... Get well soon! Hazel n nutt r waiting for us to bring them out this Thurs and next weekend! It's their birthday again! :)

Time is a funny person. She whizzes by when you're having fun, slows down when you look into my eyes... and absolutely stops when you kiss me.

taptap is Storm.

Cooking Chubby cos he was notti.

Chubby took a wee wee.

The day started at Tampines One where vain tuptup bought some uniqlo polo t-shirts and an INK bag while poor taptap had to lug tuptup's bag all the way from home. heehee. Oki after tuptup was done shopping... we headed for Science centre! Yes i noe... again but oh well.

After a disappointing screw-up by the HR lady (+ tuptup's failing eyesight), taptap n tuptup visited Science centre again! Well, in truth, it wasn't half-bad! We got to play Snow City at a discounted rate. Went up and down the snow ramp many many times and threw dirty ice kachang at each other at -4 degrees celsius! Unfortunately no pictures allowed. :( After that we went to watch some documentary about a few crazy dudes who climb the swiss alps for a living. Wasn't a blast but hey, it was free anyway. :)

As usual, taptap n tuptup took some weird shots n poses wif poohies n all. For me, it was a beautiful day cos me got to see taptap smile n laff a lot. And i thot taptap enjoyed herself thoroughly too. Sometimes i tink i noe everything... but i noe next to nothing.

i love this shot.

Chubbyhubby.
Oki i'm ready to go!

When concern is taken for mere curiosity... you just dun quite show it right.

Hazelnutt getaway.

2009-04-11T23:54:00.000-07:00

Hello i am nutt. hazel is good in chinese and hokkien, i'm good in english in hokkien. So hazel ask me blog for her. It's hazel n nutt's birthday last tuesday n so this weekend, hazel n nutt decide to run away from pesky paba n mame n go out to play by ourselves. They never bring us out anymore.

First we went to Paba's house when he was out n we bake brownies together! Hazel likes to eat brownies. It was good! Den we take the public bus (we r below 1.2m so is free) to east coast. We heard the Old Town White Coffee was quite good so we went to try! Saw Mark Lee n his wife go there to tok business.

After dat, we tried to cycle the bicycle wif the 2 seats one. We see everyone cycle like v fun lidat. Nutt sit in front, hazel sit at the back. Den we cycle fast fast to the Jetty!

We sit at the jetty n look at the sea n feel the breeze very song... i mean refreshing (pardon my hokkien) So anyway Nutt suggested to let hazel sit in front n Nutt sit behind on the journey back. But Nutt stoopid stoopid dunno how to balance n make hazel fall on the floor. Nutt feel v bad. Hazel hit me on the head wif the hammer many many times. Actually i remembered how many times but after she hit den i forget alr. After dat she forgave Nutt.

Oki see the pictures below... but dun tell paba or mame. :)

Hazelnutt brownies

Nutt tried to get Hazel to take picture but she more interested in the toast.

Nutt tries to get fresh with Hazel

Cheese!

Romantic poohies!

Hand in hand at jetty.

It became a little cold so nutt n hazel snuggle in blanket.

Happy Birthday Hazelnutt!

2009-04-07T09:12:00.000-07:00

Is der 11 months tuptup wif taptap! Hooray! *poohies cheering in background*

April has been a kind month to us so far... taptap ended her T/A finally, tuptup got a job offer, tuptup n taptap had a sunshiny outing of sorts despite looming clouds n imminent rain and all is good. In fact, never been better.

Last weekend, we went to the southern ridges walk. For those who don't know, Taptap hates walking long distances (shopping not included). So you could imagine all the tricks tuptup had to pull outta the bag to keep taptap moving heehee :) hint: food and constant chatter help a lot.

Pretty decent effort from mount faber to alexandra arch! Everything was timed to perfection as we avoided the rain just as we reached the bus-stop along alexandra road. Bussed back to NUS for a quick shower before heading back to town for taptap's favourite activity.

Once inside the shopping centre, the tables were turned. Tuptup became a zombie n taptap sprung to life haha! Settled for some thai express dinner n photo-whored around for the rest of the nite. Guess we had the longest walk dat day. Let's keep walking.

NEXT PICTURE UPDATE ON THURSDAY 9TH APRIL AT 10PM!!! IT'S A COLLECTION YOU CAN'T MISS!

taptap's freedom.

2009-03-29T06:26:00.001-07:00

After 3 long weekends, taptap's T/A manager was kind enough to grant her a Sunday off! No surprises wad we did for the weekend... we brought the poohies out! Feels like forever since we did sumthin goofy n happy like the video above but finally we can go back to fun-filled weekends! =)

Tuptup taptap went on shopping spree at far east plaza! After weeks of online shopping... i guess real shopping's a breath of fresh air. Heehee. Had craving for sushi so decided to pop by sakae sushi for our first and last time. Besides playing wif poohies on the conveyor belt... nothing else is worth a mention. Oki pics galore!

Minnie got her lucky 'break' n duped Paba into bringing her along.

taptap reading the menu.

tuptup pretending he knows how to use the interactive menu.

my sweets.

i eat first. No! i eat first!

March Madness.

i killed hazel for saying nonsense

The hazel prophecy.

2009-03-25T06:11:00.000-07:00

Acherly, the real focus is the guy in yellow behind.

Last weekend, tuptup n taptap met at marina barrage after work... originally wanting a quiet late afternoon picnic with walter n mellon. Coincidentally, we stumbled on an event for married couples and decided to chup ji kar.

While hundreds of other couples renewed their wedding vows, tuptup said our taptup vows for the first time and released our balloons into the air with everyone else! i have no doubt that they've either burst, got deflated and are strewn somewhere... but still together.

After that, tuptup drove (with his lousy driving skills) taptap to city hall where we had a rather long emo talk n our favourite photo whoring session. Taptap always says i post her ugly pics but seriously... i dun see any?! Anyways, the day din end of chummy n nice of course with Tuptup's blabbering mouth.

Tuptup has a penchant for saying the wrongest things at the wrongest times; not that he's proud of it. It has certainly caused Taptap (n tuptup) a lot of distress n he just wanna say a big sorry so here goes...

I'M SORRY TAPTAP!

...for making your blue skies grey, your black hair white and your adorable cheeks puffed up.

a little under three weeks.

2009-03-20T20:33:00.000-07:00

Chanced upon parts of this song 'Only wanna be with you' by Hootie and the Blowfish. (yes, my era haha!) Cute. =)

Sometimes you're crazy
And you wonder why
I'm such a baby yeah
The Dolphins make me cry
Well there's nothing I can do
Only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
Only wanna be with you
Yeah I'm tangled up in blue
Only wanna be with you

19 days till taptap is free! tap tap tap tap tap....

Same old bad habits.

2009-03-15T05:37:00.000-07:00

Kaya n Guyu wants to get married.

First of all, Congratulations to Guan and Amy!

Oki...

Sigh. Sometimes pple say... "you think everyday Sunday ah!" Well, sometimes i wish it weren't Sunday. This Sunday ain't as nice as Saturday. =(

While on my way to chin guan's ROM, du dio der stoopid storm again! I was stuck at a busstop outside Japanese Gardens for almost an hour and it was raining cats and dogs... and i'm not talking abt kittens and chihuahuas... it's like raining Garfields and German shepherds, doberman... u get the idea la. It certainly din help that the passing cars helped to 'wash' the busstop, with me in it of course.

After my SOS phone calls to frens went unheeded/diverted/passed on to someone else(i guess when u're not the damsel, distress is ermm... just fine. haha!)... i decided to get to the ROM in true blue commando fashion. After skipping past puddles, scaling a fallen tree across the road, waddling (ok not exactly) through ankle-deep water armed with nothing but a broken umbrella... i trudged past wat, 10 uprooted trees? (not exaggerating) and finally got to the little teahouse for Guan's ROM.

Actually, all that was oki la. i was more worried how taptap was gg to find her way in with fallen trees n stuff. Luckily taptap's smart n found her way. Although, it was about ending when she arrived... we figured we could go photo-whoring around. Some parts of Japanese/Chinese Gardens were pretty picturesque.

BUT, tuptup committed the worst mistake ever; a cardinal sin to say the least- he forgot to charge the camera batteries! We were oni limited to some pictures (pls see below). Sigh... tuptup's stoopidity killed off wateva was left of taptap's mood n really wanted to kick myself.

This is how taptap appears in my dreams. =)

tuptup, taptap n pagoda.

tuptup n taptap on lover's bridge.

Taptap's free time's really precious and i really hate to spoil it for her with my dum dum moves. Doesn't matter why i forgot, how i forgot or wateva. The fact is: i forgot.

As pig-headed as my chinese zodiac sign.

Really wanna tear my fur out. =(

Family day.

2009-03-15T04:50:00.000-07:00

Guyu goes to play golf! =)

It's der Saturday and after taptap's work... she followed tuptup n family to Seletar Country Club to play bowling, a bit of golf and to have a nice nice dinner. The torrential rain sure din help but luckily it stopped just abt in time for a few practice shots at the driving range. =)

ooh... my crow feet r getting worse. =(

how can an outing be complete without photo-whoring?

Bro teeing up.

Kaya looks distracted.

After dat, tuptup, taptap, bro and pop trotted off to play a bit of bowling. My dad was so eager to play he left my mum alone at the range... HAHA. Best bowling session in a long while. Haven't seen my mom, pop, bro n taptap all so happy... at the same time some more.

Tuptup n taptap got same score!

Dinner time! We were famished. Fortunately enough, the food came really quickly. We opted to go for oriental food this time, laksa, horfun, meepok, fish head claypot rojak n roast beef. Decent. Wat mattered was everybody was happy. =)

taptap's special meepok.

Satisfied... it was home sweet home! Tuptup n taptap tried to do some online shopping after the pompom time. But Taptap really so tired she fell asleep in tuptup bed. She looks uber cute when she's asleep. See she so tired, tuptup decided to chauffeur her home. All in all, a good day! Despite the weather conditions n taptap's mood... tuptup was happy taptap got to let her hair down a bit.

tuptup heart taptap.

7 colours of the rainbow.

2009-03-09T08:49:00.000-07:00

The rainbow has 7 colours... some brighter, others not-so-bright. Perhaps that's what makes the rainbow sometimes an awe-inspiring spectacle.

Similar to life, there are good days and not-so-pretty ones. We stick it out during the bad days and wait for the nice ones. Below are my brightly-coloured days with taptap. Enjoy! :)

Botanical Gardens with honey, bee n baby.

Same colour!

Is der sushi time!

We are masters of words unsaid, but slaves of those we let slip out.

From the unlikeliest of sources- TV mobile.

skipping stones.

2009-02-26T07:45:00.000-08:00

The thing about skipping stones is... you have to do it right. You can try really hard, put in evey ounce of strength, throw your hardest but be prepared to watch your stone plop into the water and sink to the bottom- if you don't do it right. Some can execute effortlessly, others struggle forever. Tuptup belongs to the latter.

For sure, there's nothing wrong with the stone; not to mention the water. Maybe it's not even the paw that throws the stone. It's the bear. The tuptup just dun geddit. And so, the poohies dun like him. He's deservedly alone.

BIG SMILE.

hazel trying taptap's favourite COACH bag.

Crazy Nutt in Science Centre. Heehee.

They say the mirror reflects your desires... yeap.

Turns out, hazel is like paba, nutt is like mame.

How our kid would look like in the future. =)

How tuptup would look as a poohie.

How taptap would look as a poohie.

Beautiful babe with beautiful bag.

Family outing at Science Centre!

Fried tuptup.

Trademark taptap emo shot.

Chummy!

Nutt kissing Hazel. (Learn from Paba.)

How poohies all watch tv at the same time.

Sometimes life takes a huge tumble and tuptup just can't help but feel sorry for those who'll have to endure the pain of loss. Tuptup's heart pains to see taptap so depressed about her uncle's passing but talking about it on my blog won't make taptap feel any better. So tuptup will talk abt happy things!

Tuptup bought taptap's favourite COACH bag about 2 weeks ago and finally managed to give taptap on the eve of Valentine's Day! Taptap oso bought tuptup a nice nice shirt we saw together! So of course we used our presents on Valentine's Day! Our first Valentine's Day together and in the most unorthodox fashion, Tuptup brought taptap to Science Centre haha! Haven't been there since primary school and lots of things have changed. We had loads of fun, took buckets of pictures and of course brought hazel and nutt there. Taptap was in a beautiful dress tho, so we couldn't go play the Snow City. But we've decided we'll go there again when we can n spend some time making snowman haha!

Pictures are still with taptap but i'll upload them once i can get my hands on them! Baby dun be too upset alr k? Sometimes the events in our lives are realy outta our hands. Give me BIG SMILE :D

9 months.

2009-02-08T01:33:00.000-08:00

9 months ago, Tuptup went on one knee. Taptap said Yes. Was it a mistake? If it were, it'd be the most beautiful mistake we've ever made. Sure, we're not a match made in heaven... but we've gone thru hell together. =)

Taptap was cold so i gave her my jacket. =)

Shopping for poohies' beds.

Me first... NO me first!

Happy 9th month!

Life just ain't the same without taptap.

9 months later, not a day have i regretted that we're together. Tuptup heart Taptap.

S.O.S

2009-02-04T05:34:00.000-08:00

Mame! If u're reading this save us! We oni staying here for 2 nites n we buay tahan already! Paba is very pushy n unreasonable... always asking us to sit properly, cannot touch this... cannot move dat! Chubby is especially angry! She cannot eat her favourite food cos Paba dun let her. Even Uncle Tommy wan to give macaroons she oso cannot eat. We wan go home! Pls tell Paba to bring us home soon! We promise to be good bear bear from now on. ~Chubby n Hubby.

想回到过去

2009-02-03T07:58:00.000-08:00

想回到过去
试着抱你在怀里
羞怯的脸带有一点稚气
想看你的看的世界
想在你梦的画面
只要靠在一起就能感觉甜蜜
想回到过去
试着让故事继续
至少不再让你离我而去
分散时间的注意
这次会抱得更紧
这样挽留不知还来不来得及
想回到过去

2009-02-02T07:22:00.000-08:00

In these testing times... taptap treats me the best!

Happy taptap year!

2009-02-01T06:13:00.000-08:00

Easily the best CNY holiday in a long while! U noe y? Cos taptap is part of my life. Last week, tuptup went visiting at taptap's aunt's place... so saturday, taptap came visiting wif tuptup at uncle's place. After dat, taptap n tuptup went window shopping and photo whoring by ourselves and it was pretty fun! Sometimes, the simplest activities are the most enjoyable ones.

Taptap, tuptup n tuptup's cousin!
Taptap's motherly instincts. =)

Baby looks good in all colours

Come Sunday, it was our annual 00S22 CNY gambling session! This year, Junyang graciously invited us to his new home and it was really fun! Especially so cos Tuptup won some money wif the help of Cooper. Cooper's really a lucky star! Blackjack and MJ is his forte. =)

Potluck at Junyang's place.

Cooper got ban ban n won lotsa money!

Cooper winning uncle yujun's money.

Everybody so scared of lucky Cooper dat dey dun wanna play mj anymore.

After meeting taptap for so many days... Tuptup still wanna see taptap first thing every morning. These days, tuptup planned sumthing and is waiting anxiously for it to happen. How i wish i could fast forward time a little... so dat the things i look forward to come quicker. Eddie saw me playing wif Cooper n told yujun dat the Xian now's not the Xian they used to know. Sure. Cos the Xian now is not just Xian. Xian is also Tuptup. Incredible things happen when you meet someone you truly love. Life-changing.

Ah hong baos hong baos

2009-01-26T09:53:00.000-08:00

Paba v hardworking these days... made little angpows for the poohies last night so dat when they come visit paba... dey can get angpows! Tuptup's gotta work a lot a lot a lot harder if he wans to win taptap's heart! Gonna see mame soon! Tuptup heart taptap.

2009-01-25T08:35:00.000-08:00

Happy CNY!!! Really touched by taptap lately. =) Tuptup falling in love wif taptap all over again! Like we just began...

To get in the mood of CNY, Tuptup n taptap went to chinatown to walk walk, shopping for new clothes etc. Oki... It’s really late n blogger won’t upload my pics quickly but i just wanna say this. Think this is gonna be the best CNY yet! Cos tuptup got taptap! Oki enjoy the pics! =)

Couldn't resist the smell...

Of cos it's tuptup queuing!

Tuptup look like ah beng.

My baby looks so cute squeezing honey.

My reason.

Bliss.

bake cake. happiest chinese new year.

2009-01-23T23:54:00.000-08:00

I wanna get back

To the old days

When the phone would ring

And I knew it was you

I wanna talk back

And get yelled at

Fight for nothing

Like we used to

Oh, hold me

Like you mean it

Like you miss me

Cause I know that you do

I wanna get back

Get back with you

You were the only one I wanted

And you were the first one I felt for

You're the only one that I've been needing

And I don't want to be lonely anymore

Demi Lovato- Get back

The return of taptap.

2009-01-21T08:22:00.000-08:00

I guess this picture says it all. Taptap is upset cos she lost her beloved retainers due to some unfortunate incident. Tuptup is upset cos Taptap is upset. When taptap is inconsolable, i’ll noe cos none of my usual tricks works with her. Shopping, photo whoring, pineapple tarts, nasi goreng ayam kinda helped in little ways... but she even threw her beloved Hazel n Nutt around! (see below.)

Nutt is angwy.

Hazel is sowwy.

On the bright side, one more day till Taptap gets her retainers from the dentist! This calls for a celebration this Saturday! Taptap n tuptup already went out last Saturday n to say it was outright fun would be an overstatement. But what mattered was Taptap felt better... even if a little bit. =)

We discovered dat Honey and Bee were boutique owners in Far East.

Cutie.

Greek goddess of Love.

photo whoring in fitting room?!?

Actually, it's not really about the return of the retainers. Tuptup realized that slowly, but surely... Taptap is returning to Tuptup. A long wait by Tuptup's standards but certainly a wait worthwhile. Welcome back baby!

Out of the tunnel.

2009-01-17T19:43:00.000-08:00

Hurray! Tuptup and taptap's first successful outing out from the 'tunnel'! It was a short but happy one!
We went to NYDC for dinner... stoopid tuptup thot could use some voucher but alas, he din read properly. Anyways, we had lotsa fun taking pictures n goofing around! After dat we took a walk to PS to watch Red Cliff 2 with my free movie vouchers. Entertaining! I don't think many movies can keep me rooted to the chair for 2 hr 20 mins... and love it. =)

WARNING: Chummy n goofy photos below... it's not too late to quit reading. For those who dun mind... Extra! Extra! Read all about it! You'll only get them here!

Taptap n Tuptup, Hazel n Nutt.

NYDC dog wans to eat taptap.

Cool look.

Hazel or Nutt?

Taptap wans Tuptup kiss. =)

My loves.

My favourite NYDC dessert.

What is the 'tunnel'? It's a term tuptup coined to refer to that long, dark period of time during the tuptap relationship. Yucks i dun even wanna think about it! Sometimes it still stings a little... but it'll go away with time. You see, the positive thing about tunnels is... there is ALWAYS light at the end of them. That's how they were built in the first place. =)

Anyways Chummy photos galore!

The new Tuptup.

2009-01-12T07:01:00.000-08:00

Eee! Kua dio gui ah!

Tuptup's got a new haircut! n me very pleased wif it. Not dat it makes me look better/younger or wat... but somehow i feel i've cut away some of the ugly past. The fugly hairstyle (dun go to chapter 2.) dat dominated a long, awful moment is finally gone. And now, the new Tuptup is in town! Call me superstitious or wat... but maybe... just maybe... it's the hair. Haha.

Honey n Bee squeezing Paba's double-chin.

I've always subscribed to the notion dat wat doesn't kill u... makes u stronger. Well, Tuptup certainly hasn't died... maybe dats y he feels his love for taptap is even stronger. =) With a new haircut, Tuptup is now even stronger den before! Taptap cannot shake Tuptup off! Muahahaha!

Who is Honey, who is Bee?

These days, Honey and Bee are here to stay. Dun worry about telling them apart cos taptap n tuptup haven't mastered dat yet so dun tink u noobies can. Hahahaha! Oki sleepytime!

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)Sun-Shiny day.

TAPTAP RAWKS

2009-01-10T10:02:00.000-08:00

Taptap!!! i love taptap!! Tuptup, taptap, hazel nutt , flower pott, walter mellon, honey bee, mini cooper are one big appy family:)

No spaces between.

2009-01-10T09:07:00.000-08:00

Me is Hazel!
Who is Hazel, who is Nutt?

After watching Red Cliff, Hazel led the pooh-ies in the "Bowling Pins" Formation.

Hazel is here to stay! I noe... looks like Nutt to the untrained eye... but to the Paba n Mame, we can easily tell them apart. Heehee. Hazel has been complaining dat Paba has been biased... so to show some paba-ly love... Hazel's gonna sleep over at tuptup hut tonite! =) Now, Nutt is upset... haha... please one, upset another.

Well on dat note, i guess it can't be helped dat we're all biased whether we like it or not. Comparison is unfair but understandable. Please one, upset another. I don't blame anybody. All i noe is i'll work on wat i can... the rest is up to fate and... nature i guess.

Keeping positive in awful times isn't easy. Sometimes u need a jolt from friends... or kind, encouraging words. I'm thankful for them. I guess it really helps dat i noe wat i want n i'll get off my ass to work on it. Wallowing in self-pity is self-defeating.

Some days ago, taptap called me baby again n i floated in heaven for a couple of days. Just, i upsetted taptap with my weird antics n drowned in hell for hours. All i wish for now is to love taptap... and for happier times! Honestly, with things having gotten this far down... the only way is up! =)

Finally, i just wanna apologise to Nutt n hope he understands Paba's intentions. As they say, the palm of the hand is flesh, the back of the hand oso flesh. I LOVE TAPTAP, HAZEL AND NUTT! Hazelnut is one word... no space between hazel n nutt. Just like taptup.

You'll never walk alone.

2009-01-04T06:27:00.000-08:00

Went out after lunch today to buy presents for hazel, flower n pott. Tuptup went to toys R us n picked up a few stuff... den go soopping by himself. Decided to go back to NUS for a while to walk walk.

A brief trip down memory lane. Rooftop, munchie monkeys, Arts canteen, LT6, Library, Temasek Hall carpark. Haha! Myriad feelings just came up, mostly happy. =) oki sleepytime! In the mood or not, tuptup need to drag himself to work tmr...

Notti Nutt.

2009-01-01T03:00:00.000-08:00

Hallo my name is Nutt! i'm an anniversary bear from Mame to Paba. Sometimes i sleep in Mame house, sometimes i sleep in Paba's house. When Paba is notti den Nutt no sleep wif Paba. i love Paba, i love Mame.

Now Nutt is having sleepover at Paba's n he teaching me how to blog. Just now i sleepytime, wee wee on der bed n kena Kimchi auntie's fur. She very angry... See!

Paba tell me past few nites he dream of Mame smiling at him saying "Next time dun do it again ah!". Den Paba wake up and feel very sad dat it's oni a dream. Tink Paba misses Mame a lot a lot.

K makan time!

1st post of 2009.

2008-12-31T18:15:00.000-08:00

Guess who came back to tuptup? It's none other than my baby Nutt! Haven't seen him for a while and i really missed him plenty. Nutt's really cute! He has crow-feet eyes like mine... like paba like son. haha!

Uncle Tommy, Ruggy, Taffy and Kimchi are all very excited that Nutt's back! Especially Uncle Tommy. Dun see dat Uncle Tommy doesn't share his food... he always purposely let Nutt steal his food one heh.

2008 was a fantastic year. It's the year i met taptap. Both recovering from broken relationships, we fell in love and had the most amazing time together. Tuptup's happiest memories came from taptap and for a long time, his life revolved around hers. Sure, they had upsetting moments and worlds were turned topsy-turvy. But hey, what are relationships without ups and downs?

Baby, just come back to tuptup and everything will, as you say, be o.k. Besides, tuptup has been very useful hehe. Who's gonna carry your stuff around as you shop? Bring you water as and when you want? Remember we're the best tennis partners! Who's gonna play badminton and table tennis with you? Who's gonna bring you kai kai the most interesting places in Spore? Who's gonna watch DVDs with you? Who's gonna bring you out once a month to makan nice food? Remember our favourite stalls in Bugis? Who's gonna take pictures with you? Who's gonna have dinner and watch teewee wif you? Who's gonna go cycling, rollerblading wif you? Who's gonna go watch movie, go bowling with you? Who's gonna let you bully him like i do? Who's gonna have all those unglam photos for you to laff at? Remember Sydney kok-ster photo? Who's gonna play bear bear wif you? Who's gonna baking time wif you? Who's gonna cook 'love' dinner for you? Who's gonna make sandwiches for you? Who's gonna go picnicking with you? Who's gonna go go-karting with you? =)

These months, our lives have been so intertwined. Our happy moments are so recent, our feelings are genuine, our happy expressions are real. Hold on to tuptup and i will walk thru the current situation with you. And when feelings fade with time... you still have tuptup at the end of the day.

Last time when Tuptup felt inferior, it was taptap who assured him that their r/ship was different from ours, cannot compare. What about now? Tuptup is tuptup. Comparing is unfair. Tuptup is flawed but is true to taptap and loves taptap with all of his beary heart. Let pictures do the talking. =)

Our secret rooftop.

acksx BBQ!

Goofing at prata place.

Mr superficial and miss brainless haha!

i heart taptap.

Still together.

These days, all i have are Tommy, Ruggy, Taffy and Kimchi. But i'm thankful for them cos they're always around during my repentive moods (esp. Ruggy). They're always around when i'm upset or when the nights are cold.

So to Tommy: Thank you for being so adorable when taking pictures with food. You never fail to crack me up.

Ruggy: You're always there to ask me to mian bi si guo. And you always give me sarcastic comments even when i'm down. I know deep down inside you care for me to be a better person and you made me stronger.

Taffy: Thanks for being so gentle and nice. Sometimes when the going gets tough, you offer the kindest words. =)

Kimchi: Always come my house to suntan but haha... you're so 'hot' i can't say no.

The night is darkest before the dawn. Luckily for me, i still have you.

This is a 'love' dinner i prepared for taptap sometime back. Wonder if i'll get another chance in the future. From now on, i'll just try to make taptap happy. Looking forward to seeing taptap n talking to her like old times. Till then, the hours will be like days, and days will be like weeks.

P.S. I miss Hazel and Nutt.

They say that men will never learn. For a long time, Tuptup has been that man.

I offer no excuses or lies to cover up my mistakes. My mistake is i loved myself too much. So much that i've assumed everything to be in my favour, my interest. And then claim that i didn't know, i wasn't aware. i have been trying, and i will change. i cannot promise miracles, nor have i the right to convince anyone.

Let time be the judge. Am i a selfish liar, or a man of my word?

Sunshine always comes after the rain.

2008-12-25T02:45:00.000-08:00

Truth is, i dun deserve what i have left. i should be left a lonely old man.

blissfully sick.

2008-12-22T06:44:00.000-08:00

Kena food poisoning this weekend n i reckon it was the miserably catered lunch at TH alumni games on Saturday. Actually din feel much effect until on Sunday when i was out shopping wif taptap. We were gonna attend a gift exchange dinner wif taptap's best frens and of course i couldn't spoil the mood! Plus taptap was in the best of moods dat day so tuptup decided to tong. Tuptup is strong! haha.

It was all well worth the effort cos even when i was feeling queasy n had bad bouts of diarrhoea, i was very touched by taptap's care n concern. Also made me realize the lengths i would go to make taptap happy! taptap no feel bad oki? i'm as fit as fiddle now. =)

kk... taptap is rushing me to go sleepytime liao. i have hazel, nutt and walter tonight!

Taptap's birthday!

2008-12-15T07:05:00.000-08:00

HAPPIEEEE BIRTHDAEEEE BABYYYYYYYY!!! Just celebrated my baby taptap's birthday over the weekend n boy was it fun! The month of December is packed wif activities n this is the most beautiful day on the calendar!!!

First day, we went C.O.W (cycle on water) biking at a beautiful, idyllic corner of Singapore where we could see and hear the occasional airplane landing. Really nice n romantic place where there was oni tuptup, taptap, hazel n nutt. Floating out in the open sea wif taptap oni was amazingly sweeeeeeet! Den we had candlelight dinner by the beach at South Changi Restaurant. After dat tuptup was too stoopid to think of an interesting place to entertain taptap so he drove taptap around aimlessly. (stoopid tuptup.) Wished baby at 12 midnight n went home sleepytime.

Next day, woke up flew to taptap's house. We made pancakes, cut cake at taptap's house wif bears n family. Wanted to go southern ridges park connector but rain thwarted our plans. So we went karaoke at party world in orchard for the afternoon! Receptionist thot we were students n gave us discount! =) (must be cos my baby look so young.) Sang a lot, goofed around, took lotsa pics! Den we went to NYDC for 1-for-1 spaghetti dinner! yum yum!

Enuff tok, otherwise become lao kok kok. Pictures galore!

The pursuit of tappyness.

2008-12-08T04:50:00.000-08:00

Sunshine is here to stay! Just celebrated taptap n tuptup's 7th month and it was the most fun weekend ever! But dun be fooled by our chummy n happy pics! We've been through a lot these past few weeks to get to where we are. All becos tuptup has been very bad to taptap n make her angry. Tuptup almost lost taptap forever.

I guess Tuptup was too spoilt by all his ex-es last time. Not to mention, he has a way of sounding arrogant, rude, know-it-all, righteous... always cracks jokes at the expense of others etc. Which is really irritating but all his frens are just too polite to bring it up to him.

i remember a moment in my life when i was at my lowest. feel lousy about myself, tinking abt my imperfections, my flaws and all der disappointment. i really lost all zest in life but suddenly taptap popped up in my life! It was like a breath of fresh air! After that, everything was just about her. okok... i noe i haven't the best track record when it comes to keeping relationships but i just noe she's the one. We've had the happiest moments, fugliest moments n 7 months down the road, i still think she's the one. i dun think anything can change my mind. =)

We were supposed to go batam this weekend but we sorta postponed it last min n decided to do other stuff! We watched Bolt (which was uber cute n i mean UBER) n packed sandwiches for a visit to the marina barrage! It's pretty impressive n u should make a visit if u haven't. arrghs i'll just let my pictures do the talking. Enjoy.

Weak
I have been crying and crying for weeks
How'd I survive when I can barely speak
Barely eat, On my knees

But that's the moment u came to me
I don't know what your love has done to me
Think I'm invincible
I see though the me I used to be

You changed my whole life
Don't know what your doing to me with your love
I'm feeling all super human, you did that to me
A super human heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you

Tuptup, Hazel and Nutt.

Somewhere...

... over the rainbow.

taptap n der flyer.

Yummy sandwich!

err... believe it or not, my shirt was blue.

surprisingly good picture we took at marina barrage!

taptap eat meat. tuptup eat stick.

Mr Superficial and Miss Brainless. (not i say one!)

k la k la... keeeeeding.

tuptup gek sei.

MUAKZ!

The last token.

2008-11-30T06:48:00.000-08:00

Tuptup is down to his last token. After he hits the Continue button he cannot afford to die anymore. Must kill the last king. If not, it's game over n there's nothing left. Once again, tuptup employed his "i think, i thought yaddi yaddi yadda..." but enough is enough. Tuptup hasn't wailed so hard n so long for a long time. eyebrows hurt n head throbs. But even the tears of Little Ten (Ten Brothers) cannot wash away der guilt dat's etched deep. Today, i ran one bus stop's distance. What will it be tmr, and der day after? Lady luck won't always be smiling tuptup. Take nothing for granted.

2 days like 2 weeks...

2008-11-26T10:25:00.000-08:00

tuptup is handsome, tuptup is strong.
he's really cute and his fur is long.
tuptup is handsome, tuptup is strong.
so listen to the taptap song!

oheeyoyeeyoyeeyoyeeyoyeeyoyeeyeh... i am taptap from bedok u can be my fren.

tomolo can see taptap lo! weeeeee!

2008-11-25T08:11:00.000-08:00

oki! taptap no sadsad! =D

2008-11-19T08:04:00.000-08:00

Tuptup rather low morale lately... tinking about how stoopid he was when looking for job... tinking y he look like lao kok kok beside taptap... tinking y ppl like to tok nonsense... tinking y he passive, no manly enuff, cannot protect taptap. Guess tuptup is perfectionist. So he like to brood abt his inadequacies... all der problems he has no solutions to. So instead of brooding, tuptup do something more productive.

Tada!

oki. sleepytime soon! (Guess ppl are irked by the act cute childish stuff i write these days. Too bad i am tuptup.)

To different people, i'm a different person. There is no real me. The real me is who you want to see.

Today it's TUPTUP

2008-11-13T08:20:00.000-08:00

Long time no blog for TUPTUP is me.

That explains the lack of picture for a let-the-pictures-do-the-talking blog.

Today i shall blog about...TUPTUP. Everyday make TupTup upset. sigh. HAHA

This is Tuptup when he was a kid. We dont know why he is droooling. . I dont know, from some angle, he looks disturbingly like Tommy. Tommy is the greedy bear as shown in the pic below.

So u see, he was a saliva kid. HE is still a saliva boy....... I have to agree. So ah-goo-goo cute when he was young. Those cheeks. Feel like pinching them.

As life has it..he turns out...to be... ..as cute...as he looked when he was a kid.

OKok i cheated. i posted an unglam photo.

Anyway. This is Taptap and tuptup! The happy 6th month. Ok sorry girls, Tuptup is not me.TUPTUP is mine. HAHAHAHA.

the five languages.

2008-11-11T08:06:00.000-08:00

Tuptup just read sumthin off the internet which he found rather interesting. Apparently there are 5 languages of love. "words of affirmation", "quality time", "receiving gifts", "acts of service" and "physical touch". Tuptup found out he like der "quality time" most n dats der language he speaks. but he wonder wat language does taptap speak haha!

Sometimes bears have different love languages. So when taptap n tuptup speak different languages... they dunno wad each other tokkin abt.

There are oso 5 languages of apology. "expressing regret", "accepting responsibility", "making restitution" and "requesting forgiveness". Tuptup hor belong to "expressing regret" which means u say sorry sincerely his heart will melt liao haha! Wonder wat's taptap one.

Sometimes tuptup do stupid things n he thinks he's expressing bear lurve... but nooooo... sometimes he can't be more wrong heh! Like he thinks bear farts are romantic... but taptap hate smelly bear farts! Tuptup still purposely fart in her face haha!

Bear with the fart, cos what matters is the heart, what matters not is the fart, so bear with the fart.

tuptup n taptap milestone.

2008-11-06T07:54:00.000-08:00

tuptup heart taptap.

long weekend. long blog.

2008-10-29T06:08:00.000-07:00

Finally, a long weekend after months of working. Tuptup told taptap he was gonna plan n do sumthin for the weekend but he made a mess of it n tried to take the easy way out by insisting taptap go out wif tuptup's frens... tsk tsk tsk.

Taptap was disappointed... den tuptup tink abt it, tuptup felt stoopid. Most boy teddies would have gone home n felt sorry for himself. But no, tuptup got himself a coconut hairstyle @ chapter 2 n decided he was not gonna let his mistake ruin taptap n tuptup's long weekend. He decide to surprise taptap.

So, tuptup went home n tink hard hard. Decided to go chalet @taptap's n bwing her go JB to shop n eat to win back taptap's heart. He oso dunno wat to do there n oso dunno wat to do for monday but he decided dat he must ACT more, talk less n think less. Quickly, he packed stuff into his gunny sack as fast as his paws allowed n rushed to meet taptap!

taptap n tuptup on der bus to JB!

We awoke on Sunday morning all raring to go, tucked in to biggie breakfast bought by taptap's mummy. Cheonged to JB checkpoint oni to be stuck in a massive human jam for 1 hr 15 mins. Tuptup saw many ugly Sporeans cutting queue n acting blur n clung on to some very nice Thai tourists to make sure we would eventually get to der immigration counter. Sporeans just cannot compare to their niceness la... tuptup n taptap included.

Anyways, after jostling, pushing, shoving n making sarcastic comments at the queue cutters, we finally passed immigration n dashed to the comfort of air-conditioned City Square. Makan-ed at some portugese chicken shop famous for... err... chicken n portugese egg tarts (duh!)

portugese egg tarts! 1 for taptap, 1 for tuptup.

photo whoring time!

my baby!

tuptup eating egg tuts

Oki. Shopped till tuptup dropped der whole day at many BUTIKS, OPTIKS n treated ourselves to gary kim RESTORAN. (taptap cannot stop laffing at these words.) We were too full for secret recipe but figured it was too much of a bargain... so like der usual Sporeans, we tapao-ed.

for starters, tuptup had serviettes! (he din noe cannot eat until taptap told him.)

gary kim RESTORAN special!

gary kim RESTORAN special couple!

seafood baked rice!

Bus 950 took forever to come but after dat was pretty smooth-sailing. After so much waiting der whole day, 168 came quickly n tuptup n taptap had nice, long talk on bus trip home. (both like to talk a lot.) Got back to chalet @taptap's, bathed, dug for halloween treats on facebook n played game for whole nite b4 der 2 teddies fell into deep slumber.

taptap, tuptup n coconut hair.

secret recipe breakfast on Day 2!

Day 2 of chalet @taptap's was just like any other chalet... slow n less eventful cos tuptup gg home liao. Still tucked into a power breakfast, slept n slacked for most of der day, went to gym in futile attempt to get rid of bear fats. Tuptup went home tired but satisfied. It was a splendid long weekend but could have been much worse if not for tuptup's quick thinking! =p

Everything looks fine n dandy when taptap n tuptup go for lovey dovey trip like this but nobody noes der shit taptap n tuptup go thru together to reach this stage. But it is der shit dat makes all this happiness much sweeter den it could have been.

Bear shit really stinks, but mix them up in right amounts and you can grow even the most beautiful flowers.

2008-10-24T12:07:00.000-07:00

4:00am. Wide awake like taffy, ruggy n tommy are. Inconsolable. Ruggy says i must decide and choose. Taffy says it's like dat one. Tommy is eating. I wan taptap. Ruggy says den der others must go. Taffy says it's like dat one. Tommy is eating.

oki boss.

Seeing light at the end of the... err... plantation.

2008-10-13T08:41:00.000-07:00

To say it has been a tumultuous week would be a complete understatement. (no... i'm not talking about the financial crisis.) I've learnt so much... more than probably all of 6 years put together. You noe how they say u can do everything right but all it takes is a single silly mistake to screw up big time? I figured out for myself (fortunately) that the vice versa also holds true.

But yeah, i guess you could liken it to what's been happening around the world. Like the sub-prime crisis, tewibble mistakes kickstarted a string of awful events that needed a bail-out plan. Everything plunged and although sometime in the middle, things looked a little better. Turned out to be the calm before the storm cos everything crashed once more and i scrambled frantically to put together another bail-out. Fortunately, this time round the bail-out was accepted.

The masterstroke of a genius perhaps? I dunno. All i noe is i followed my heart and acted on instinct. Sometimes, the head isn't always the best place to find a solution.

With the clouds clearing and rain subsiding finally, tuptup n taptap could finally see the opening at the end of the plantation (with goats n cows) and go-kart their hearts out in JB. Thanx Bugs Bunny for organising! Of course there wasn't a winner... what mattered is we enjoyed ourselves. =)

Oki it's sleepytime n i noe it's sacrilegious to have 3 consecutive blog posts without pics (esp when my address is letpicturesdothetalking.blogspot.com)... but i promise pictures soon k?

tuptup loves taptap.

2008-10-06T10:49:00.000-07:00

i used to think i was quite a practical guy... like i'd do stuff if there's sumthin in it for me... or if there's sumthin important tmr i'd better get some sleepy time. Apparently, if i'm affected, i'm affected. n if i can't sleep, well i can't sleep. doesn't matter whether i'm studying or working the next day, got a big project or meeting. it all don't matter.

The prospect of losing... keeps the heart racing, keeps the brain swirling and hence, the eyes wide open.

2008-10-06T04:50:00.000-07:00

Really angry with myself for being so stupid. Same mistakes over and over again. Nonsense dat's wat i am. Lost the right to apologize, not to mention to ask for reprieve. This time, the more painful, the better i'll learn.

Enough. Words won't disprove you're a shithead. Period.

Stupstup.

2008-10-05T07:24:00.000-07:00

Sometimes i'm really disappointing... disappoint ppl from last time... ppl now... myself. Sigh. tuptup is acherly short-form for stupstup...which is short-form for stupidstupid. HAHA.

aniwaes me just had a fairly nice weekend wif taptap. Friday we went to eat block 85 bar chor mee n century egg porridge, den went to T3 to photo-whore. Saturday der day started off wif half der day gone (as usual.)... n den tuptup making taptap angwy (as usual.)... n den usual bball at bugis (604 high score!), miss clarity's banana tart, buy der teddie hangies, buy der mustafa watches.

taptap n tuptup squeeze on bus wif many muthus n muthis... n home sweet home n sleeweetime. Pictures next time k?

A 14000 yr old caveman... can learn more about himself as he lives through many lifetimes. Please forgive me for I only have one.

Hey man it's me

2008-10-02T07:50:00.001-07:00

Long time no put my pictures. scared people forget how good looking i am. so here's a post to make up for it=) There u go

me make bread pudding. . the bread pudding has two colour. so does my arms.=)

oh man. they should male me the model of ikea

This piece of mud taste good=)

hee hee hee. no wonder they call me the auntie killer

Temasek Hall. Restless Bee. Monsters Inc. Bread Pudding Day.

2008-09-23T05:37:00.000-07:00

Really procrastinated on this post. Dat explains the multiple titles. heh. Found out a lot of stuff abt myself lately.

I'm a restless bee. I've always been restless... needing to do sumthin all the time. Activities galore, friends aplenty but time, as with most people, just ain't enough. I guess i've been roaming from one flower to the next dilligently working on stuff dat matter to me. Hall stuff, sports, organizing events, friends. Course i made sacrifices along the way but i was happy. Happy cos everything made sense, everything was worth its while. A friend of mine told me dat a friend of hers was having trouble with a friend of his cos he was too enthralled in activities. (how subtle.) oh well, sounds too familiar n i guess all i can offer is... when restless bee finds that one flower, the answer unfolds as it should.

Everybody has a monster in their closet. Me included. Mine has hurt many people along the way and has recently emerged to wreck havoc again. And i guess no matter what we say or do after that... the damage is done. So what happens next? well what do u think happens after Ultraman takes down Godzilla or when King Kong is subdued? No i don't mean the credits come out... what i mean is... we re-build. Let's hope dat monster stays in the closet forever otherwise, there may be nothing left to repair the next time round. Well on the King Kong note, perhaps i should loosen my grip on the poor screaming damsel and cut her some slack. Haha.

Feeling old. Not in dat wow-i'm-mature-n-attractive-like-they-say-the-older-the-better-wine-is kind of way. More like the *cough!*wheeze!*puff!*splutter!*-i'm-too-old-for-anything kind. Heh. (not to mention, it's starting to show.) Recently, sprained my neck playing soccer too!

But life is bliss! Cos at the end of the day... i still have bread pudding. Gets a little puffed up when she's heated, a little charred when she's hot for too long, sweet when you first plunge your spoon in... and even sweeter when you have more of her. More than just a dessert to me. Probably sumthin i could eat for the rest of my life. =)

She looks like this.

crushed by taptap.

2008-09-09T07:04:00.000-07:00

I hung up the phone tonight,
Something happened for the first time,
Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush,
Cause the possibility that
You would ever feel the same away about me,
It’s just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth,
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized,
And I just got to know

Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,
All that we can be, where this thing can go,
Am I crazy or falling in love,
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you,
Are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I’m tryin’, tryin’ to walk away
But I know this crush aint’ goin’ away, goin’ away

Has it ever cross your mind when we’re hangin’,
Spending time girl,
Are we just friends, is there more, is there more,
See it’s a chance we’ve gotta take,
Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last,
Last forever, forever

Do you ever think, when you’re all alone,all that we can be, where this thing can go,
Am I crazy or falling in love,
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you,
Are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I’m tryin’, tryin’ to walk away
But I know this crush aint’ goin’ away, goin’ away

no m'am, no problem

2008-08-30T12:07:00.001-07:00

ooh the weird postings on my blog, they are really written by me, not taptap not anyone. i mean why would my gf be so evil to write those stuff.

And the previous entries..sounded like i am having some problems. Nah.

Anyhow went to the RSAF's airshow over the weekend. So freaking cool! though i realise none of the pilots were cuter than me. haha
Some photos. Had to make taptap take them for me.
Erm duh, of cos i would choose to put photos of myself. but some friends complain i seem to be very narcissistic, so i pretend to add in other people.

i bought a new bag recently=) nice?? and dont understand why guys carry their gf's bag. so not cool! i am glad i am not one of em!!! heng ah!

(HAHAHAHA
suave aint i?? i know. )

(taptap wears shades. so i must wear shades. cannot lose out.)

i bought a new bubee water bottle. its pink n suits my image.

see, i said i would include people in my photos. there you go. got 2 pple. cannot see the face.
dats the point.

even a piece of magazine looks so dam cool on me. haiz.. what to do. good looking means good looking.

sir, whatcha looking at? me or the helicopter?

even when i kiss her, i need to be on my killer side view. (aww i know. some of u are cringing at this chummy photo)

haiz.. not my best view! but still! hmm now i think my shirt seems to blend in with the air plane too. haiz..now i realise i have very good fashion sense. sigh... is there anything bad about me?someone enlighten me!!

Wake up and smell the coffee.

2008-08-28T23:57:00.000-07:00

i gotta face it. stop living in a world of naivety.

stupid cupid

2008-08-26T08:56:00.000-07:00

Random thought. it's the lunar 7th month and after witnessing so many pple burning 'hell' money by the pavements, i've come to wonder if they're necessarily helping the souls in the netherworld.

Every year we increase the money supply in the netherworld, and simple economics would tell you that the value of money would drop ceteris paribus. Aren't we creating a banana money scenario for them poor souls? it's already unfortunate enough that they're not living... can you imagine the amount of money they have to lug to buy a loaf of bread?

Perhaps some econs whizz kid will challenge me on my claim haha! But this is an example of the kinda crap dat goes thru my head. Shallow marshmallow.

Oops, I did it again. Sometimes, I really never learn. Dunno wat I need to drill some stuff into my thick Tweety skull. Putting in effort does not necessarily garner results, or at least immediate results, or visible results. This is something I need to learn, and learn well.

The disappointment now is with myself, for I am a dweeb. =/

It's your turn, to take a seat we're settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt, so much?

I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why?
All the possibilities...
Well I was wrong

That's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa!
That's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa...
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try... holding onto silly things, I never learn.
Oh why? All the possibilities. I'm sure you've heard.

That's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa!
That's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa..
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa.

Pain, make your way to me. (to me)
And I'll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let's start... Start, hey!
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That's what you get when you let your heart win!Whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

The stuff below is from taptap... =p

Wassdup man!
Me, me and more of me! =) Taptap took a lot of my photos because i am so dam good-looking and i kept asking her to take more photos of me.
Aint we suppose to love ourselves more than anyone else. I am not narcissistic, just cant help feeling that i look so god-damn good in all the photos i have taken. Some people just have IT. Guess i am one of them.
Never knew i could look this...erm cool..=)

ME and my triangle=) Look carefully at my forehead and u can see the shape of a triangle.=) The reason why girls are attracted to me i guess. *smiles*

Me and my now-u-see-it-now-u-dont-teeth

OOoh my not so pretty taptap and me. Must choose a girl not so pretty so i look better.

My lovely prata, cant wait to have u.

" Excuse me, are u looking at gorgeous me?"

" tee hee hee, my favorite pic! brings out a different side of me!"

Cool hair RIGHT?

I love this pic too! Looks like i had some lip stick on! actually i did! i stole taptap's lipstick to apply! Now me lips look so rosy=)

People say my side view looks like edison chen. I think so too=)

I think i look uber cool here with my new shades.

Goodbye Hammie, tho i din get to see ya much later on... i hope u enjoyed ur time with ur owner n brought her more joy than i can.

Lately, i'm beginning to feel i'm becoming a terrible person. Heh maybe some would like to disagree... "You were always a terrible person wat... haha!" But i was thinking of how i was as a person in my younger days (yes, not so young anymore.) These years, i think i've just become a self-serving, bossy, righteous, argumentative, stubborn lil' bastard with double standards.

Maybe cos' something recently made me realize that i've always been expecting stuff from people... but they're not necessarily stuff dat i'm ready to give... or give up. Can anybody ever give so much sorrow to others that they'd rather he not exist? Yeap. Perhaps, i've been like this my whole life... but u noe wat? i was better at hiding my flaws earlier... nowadays i just have no energy to be nice.

A dear fren of mine left for further studies lately. And altho i knew he'd be going, albeit just for a year or two, i only felt really sad when the day approached. Should i have spent more time? should i have done something? Maybe i'm good at making frens but am i good at keeping them? Even a recent class outing made me feel that i've drifted from frens dat i enjoyed company with so much last time. i'm wondering if i'm taking my frens for granted... Or as the cliched saying goes, you'd only learn to treasure what u've lost. Sometimes i have morbid thoughts about how things would be if i just died... or if i were to leave to a faraway place for a long time. Would i be missed? Missed like how i noe some would of yesteryears.

Oh i dunno. Every blog needs an audience, but by the time this is read... i'd probably be feeling alrite again. But till den, let me indulge in this for a while... so i get better faster.

That tree goes to commencement!!!

2008-07-15T02:16:00.000-07:00

Me very der busy. Attended 2 commencement ceremonies. Started work today. So der taptap must blog for me.

Here are some of my commencement pictures. There were too many photos, so i chose some of my cuter ones. I think i Look...GORGEOUS. Doubt u can find someone as cool and suave as me in the convocation gown. Plus i had a really good photographer that day and a really powerful camera with mega-sized lenses.

Then attended the taptap's commencement ceremony.What to do. No choice ma. I dun go she sure chop me up. But guess what!! i found so many people i knew there n that gave me a chance to take many cute photos(of me) again!!!
This is der taptap whom i like to scold and bully.

Found my hall friends and old hc friends from chem eng as well.

Me der blog nv update velli der long oredi so i tink it's time to say sumthin bah. Altho i tink nobody reading oso bah. oki quick quick.

Good news: survived reservice, found job at philips.

Bad news: a bit der sick.

Anyways i've been watching the Perfect Cut on Channel U at 10 pm and i must say it's quite a breath of fresh air. For a long time i've been wondering why there aren't better dialogues or scripts written for our local dramas... but i guess this show's quite different. Sure, there are times when the stuff are still unbelievable or maybe just a tad too emo, but i still like the witty quips between michelle chia and thomas ong.

Since when i've become a TV drama addict? Well, since being unemployed, since not staying hall and since falling in love with the white flower snake grass water. oki boss! it's time to get some sleepy time. no der picture dis time but promise next der time will have.

Of reservice and remembrance.

2008-06-21T09:11:00.000-07:00

In the middle of my reservice now, just parted with baby taptap and missing her already. (ok i hear many readers going eeeee yer, but too bad it's my blog =p) Well i guess the day didn't start off in the bestest of ways... but i'm happy our moods turned around somehow and we had an enjoyable outing eventually. =)

Having just reached my 'mid-twenties' status and being absent-minded to begin with, perhaps it's timely to take a step back to remember how this all began, the 'good old days' if you like.

An otherwise boring morning lecture riddled with jokes of a nerdy bloke (who had a penchant for touching his face). A lunch afterward that helped you avoid a dreary project meeting. The midnight chats on msn. Fooling around at the library instead of working on the peak oil essay. Coke-light at the car park. The all-important question for a late-night supper at Bedok 85. Started looking forward to Tuesdays.

A dreadful handing in of cooling tower report. A pleasant dinner (though i've eaten) at Munchie Monkeys that followed. A magical night at the rooftop. The deletion of pictures. The boldest question ever to travel. Aston's at PGP on that fateful Thursday night. Sentiments exchanged. The beginning of an open.

Secret rendezvous at our meeting place. Food, food and more food. Facebooking, leaving earrings. Horrible exams. First 'gui' lian that led to the pseudo-breakup. Struggled for a day before a donut, some hairbands and a pushy Tweety brought us back into the open. Your surprise visit to my room. My crazy cabbing to your place. Nights at the playground and on the rooftop at the park.

End of exams. First proper date. An impulsive question at the sky garden and the awfully teasing reply. The end of the open and the start of something real.

Hey baby, we surely don't know how things would pan out and like that sarah song says "what will be, will be." But like we promised, walk with me and hold on tight aye? It's gonna be worth it. *wink*

No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.

It's your turn, to take a seat we're settling the final score.

And why do we like to hurt, so much?

I can't decide

That's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa!

Perfect answer.

ouch.

It really hurts. Can't describe it. Even pictures can't.

Tennis, badminton, table-tennis. So near yet so far.

The longest 2 weeks ahead.

Absence make the heart grow fonder? or out of sight, out of mind?

Reminds me of when we were in an open, when absence made us 'just friends'.

Being myself in the presence of someone that matters? heh. easier said.

Have no fear for giving in

Have no fear for giving over

You better know that in the end

It's better to say too much

Then never to say what you need to say again

Always be my baby.

2008-06-13T12:27:00.000-07:00

3.30 am... sorta finished cleaning up for a party at my place. I should be dog-tired but i'm not. Probably cos of the whizzing thoughts thru my head.

I told somebody today, "blogs are meant for the author's heart, but also for the audience's eyes." Well, we write in consideration for others don't we? Alas. But what comes from the heart, thru the head, isn't probably what you want to say, but what you have to.

A spate of bad luck recently: cancellation of IPPT, cockster hairstyle. Time isn't on my side, for time doesn't take sides. There're many things i have to accomplish... forcibly, reluctantly.

There were four, and then, three. Unlike nintendo wii, this is really a game only for two.

Escapism isn't my kind of thing, but how i wish to return to when it was just you and i.

You'll always be a part of me

I'm a part of you indefinitely

Girl don't you know you can't escape me

Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

And we'll linger on

Time can't erase a feeling this strong

No way you're never gonna shake me

Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

David Cook's remix of Mariah Carey's "Always be my baby."

Word perfect.

a month of loathing.

2008-06-08T03:56:00.000-07:00

Almost feels like it's been a year. A lot has happened. heh... and to reply critics of my longwindedness- A summary.

Exams, post-exam celebrations, grad trip, settling misc. stuff, job-hunting and now... more job-hunting.

Visited my grandparents today and like picking fruit in a market, my grandma says "Bigger is better." Heh. i couldn't agree more. =)

Ups, downs, middle grounds... myriad emotions but it's been a fantastic journey. Many months make years and many years make forever. And like Toyota's advertising slogan, i'm... Moving Forward.

Just watched a rented DVD "Stardust" with my bro. (reminds me of primary school days) Quite succinctly by the 'star' of the show "... Love is unconditional... but it is also unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing."

Haha. Well said.
