i absolutely hate monday morning. think it gonna take a long time before my throat gets any better. i guess it's an infection again :( cough until my chest got a little painful, can sense that there's alot of phlegm. hais. hopefully i can recover well before the class bbq. if not, i won't be able to gobble up all the food.

been checking out the premier league website for updates on the various clubs. okay, mainly on chelsea first... of course :D initially i thought chelsea stands a good chance of claiming the title from man u, but now it seems like they're almost out of the race. esp the defeat against tottenham. what a disappointment. crucial 3 points. lost just like that. just hope that they will do much better in the upcoming season 09/10.

it's becoming a habit now that i'm relying heavily on the media for updates around the world. stays with me almost 24/7. i guess it's another alternative when u have nothing to watch on tv :)

came across some of my friends' blogs/videos & realized that they got a really big bash to commemorate their 21st birthday. hmm... will i get the same or should i celebrate it quietly with a bunch of close friends?

here i am again ~ back for my second post... hehe. basically i'm just rotting at home... after returning from the trip. cos i'm too tired to do anything else. only went to unpack my luggage this morning. lol. seems that i'm bound to fall sick whenever i went overseas man. hais. when i went to phuket last year, i also had a bad case of diarrhea. kinda spoil the whole day. this time round, it was even more worse. think should be okay when i ate other seafood... until the lobster part :( when i went back to the hotel room, small patches started appearing on the outside area of my eyes. within hours, it started to swollen. and just as i was about to collect my luggage from the belt, small red spots had appeared on my foot, making it itchy. and i'm so tempted to scratch. hopefully things would turn out better for the next trip :D

woke up this morning only to find out that my cough had worsened :'( can't really make use of the time on the plane for some sleep as i was coughing all the way. to add on the misery, my head was giddy for the whole day & my leg muscles were still very sore. imagine when we had to climb all the way up again right after the rafting activity.

tomorrow's the last day of my 2-days annual leave. took 2 days straight after the holiday as i needed a good rest very badly. i doubt i can work after the late flight back to singapore (though it hadn't reached midnight). still got 2 days left to clear, which i probably will take it after the good friday holiday. maybe going for some groceries shopping tomorrow. loved to browse through the different shelves and picking out the products =D

i was very, very disappointed to find out that chelsea had failed to close up the gap on manchester united. instead, liverpool was given the lead. seems like it's a two-horse race for the title between liverpool & man u. when guus hiddink was appointed the interim manager for chelsea, there were several speculation that he's not going to make it as they couldn't believe he would be able to juggle 2 jobs at the same time. so the tottenham vs chelsea match was his first defeat of the ending season since his appointment.

i mean it when i say i like you... but you simply shrug it off. i guess some things cannot be forced. hope you are doing well over there.

came back from bali trip yesterday nite. it was a trip with happy returns indeed. took loads of photos (had to delete some to make way for the new ones), brought back some prezzies for family & friends & i was in 2nd place for the bowling game and also won 200,000 rupiahs as part of the prize money. the money came in handy as we were preparing to go for our spa & massage treatment before leaving singapore. it was my first time doing it.. and i saw many "little friends" crawling all over though :( on the first night after checking in, we planned to have our late supper at the hotel's lounge. however as we were talking, i saw 2 BIG rats crawling in a two-way manner. later on, i also saw a lizard up on the wall. wth man. is this the service of a 5-star hotel?

on the second day, we went rafting. it was kinda fun as we rode on the floating boat. however, the people kept us waiting by wasting those few hours preparing the boats. they should have done that beforehand. tsk tsk.

however on the third day, i didn't get to go to the tour with the rest as my eyes were swollen (due to the seafood dinner i had the previous night). kinda disappointed, but i did pass the camera to my colleague to help me take the pictures. as i was feeling better in the evening, i followed them for dinner & the bowling game.

and on the last day, we went for the spa & massage treatment. i almost fell asleep during the process :)

shall upload the pictures asap to my facebook account :D

another great performance by scott macintyre. his singing can touch the hearts of many people...

9:51 PM

it's his first performance on the big stage. and he really rock this one! i like how the way he moves, and being real confident moving up close to the judges while singing. of course, he's got the pair of flirty eyes also... lol.

looking forward to the bali trip :) i'm preparing to go on a shopping spree over there.. hopefully i can find something nice n pretty enough for my family & friends. got quite alot to do when meeting up with my frens this coming sat. heading to vivo for the gathering and not forgetting to catch the latest thai horror film "Coming Soon". its like.. some donkey months since the last horror movie ad had appeared in the papers. so imagine my excitement when i saw the ad, i sms-ed lihui (she's my 2nd horror movie kaki.. lol) immediately to inform her. as far as i'm concerned, the last few horror movies weren't that scary. if u guys wanna catch some old horror films, i would STRONGLY recommend shutter (thai) & ju-on (jap).

i think shutter was the ONE AND ONLY horror movie that i've watched during night time. looking back, the movie was a total sold-out film. i think that's why only (and a few) some places were left for the 7pm+ time slot. almost all the people screamed during the movie.. cos some scenes can really make your heart jump out. BUT.. ju-on still top the list (my own ranking la) of my favorite horror movies of all times. yes, my friend diana (i can still remember how u imitate the cat sound n kyoko the ghost) was also the only person who can scare me out of my wits with the "sound effects" of hers from the movie itself. i can't remember whether it was before or after the film that eventually got me real scared of.. cats & the door-like creaking sound. i swear to god that whenever i saw a cat on the streets, i would definitely run far far away from it. the eyes looked sooooo eerie man. nevertheless, horror movies are still my favorite film genre (though i may use my hands to cover the eyes).

it's been quite some time since we last met up with each other. hopefully we will have a great time :)

here's a link to the youtube video "parody of beyonce's single ladies"... the part with justin timberlake was the funniest.

i don't know what happened to the mcdelivery service man. first, the female telephone operator sounded like she's a amateur in answering calls. its like... she's about to use some singlish in replying to my request for the food. and then, the deliveryman looked no more than a 17-18yrs old boy. what the hell. ALSO, after i gave him $12 (ok, maybe this part i didn't hear clearly, cos perhaps he was asking if i wanted the change back or not), it seemed as though he was preparing to go off after giving me my food. i then told him, "er, i think i gave u $12?". he replied, "oh, okay". at first, i was thinking maybe he thought i gave him $11, that's why he asked me if i wanted the $0.05 change. however, after second thoughts about it, i was thinking "boy, weren't u able to feel that THERE ARE 2 DOLLAR NOTES when i gave it to u?".

i saw this article in a chinese newspaper about 5 uni guys (who patronized this japanese sushi restaurant chain) putting back their half-eaten tofu dish onto the conveyor belt. worse thing was, one of them even had the audacity to film the whole process, wearing a smirk on his face saying that this dish was very "hot" and soon after there would be someone consuming it. just then, someone (sitting diagonally across) the guys had taken the tofu dish to eat. and when they saw him taking it, they started laughing loudly as they were HAPPY that someone fell into the trap. in the end, the guy (who was filming the video) pointed the screen to himself saying that "see, in just 5 seconds, someone had already taken it!".

i was in total dismay after reading the report. my first reaction was, "what on earth were these guys thinking?". supposedly their IQ were down to zero... and beyond? that really was a very childish thing to do. such immature behaviour would only reflect on the level of mentality that they have. it's such a downright despicable action. one would wonder, "does years of studies only come to this?"

here's the link to the report:

watched ytd's episode of american idol.. and to my surprise, the judges actually announced that they were gg to let tatiana come back during the wildcard round. i was like... "oh my, y is she still in the competition? she's such a dramatic person." another surprise was, von smith actually didn't went through during the first elimination. anyway, caught up with scott macintyre's performance last night. it was really good.. and his singing moved me to tears :) i can feel that he sings with alot of feelings in it, reciting his desire to be in the competition. here are the pics during his performance & results show...

had a mini gathering at hougang mall to celebrate lihui's bdae. decided to head to gelare for some ice cream. i couldn't have that on a empty stomach, so i ordered seafood with tomato sauce pasta & mushroom soup (my fav!!) instead (as my dinner). lihui suggested taking photos while waiting for our food. so we listened to her, since she's the birthday girl. and once she starts, u can't stop her. lol. oh my, that lunatic actually still exist inside the mall. i shan't elaborate on that. sigh. and also, look at the following pics to see (and know the reason) why i don't really like taking photos. damn ugly man ok.

Personally, I really love the tune of this song I Don't Wanna Miss
A Thing by Aerosmith. So I decided to post the lyrics here.
Enjoy ~ :)
_______________________________________

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing,

Watch you smile while you are sleeping,
While you're far away and dreaming,
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,
I could stay lost in this moment forever,
When every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure,

(Chorus)
I don't wanna close my eyes,
I don't wanna fall asleep,
Cause I'd miss you babe,
And I don't wanna miss a thing,
Cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream would never do,
I'd still miss you babe,
And I don't wanna miss a thing.

Lying close to you,
feeling your heart beating,
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming,
Wondering if it's me you're seeing,
And then I kiss your eyes,
And thank God we're together,
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever,
Forever and ever.

(Chorus)

And I don't wanna miss one smile,
I don't wanna miss one kiss,
I just wanna be with you,
Right here with you, just like this,
Well I just wanna hold you close,
And feel your heart so close to mine,
And just stay here in this moment,
For all the rest of time
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah

(Chorus repeated 2 times)

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
