It was a very good year

An old tune was heard over FB. At once it reminds me of the good old times in my scout days. A bunch of smelly guys sitting together with nothing better to do (while at Caroling) and we make up plenty of new songs.

When I was 1 year old, it was a very good year, it was a very good year, it was a very good year!!! *cue guitar solo*

Shouldering my pain



The last time I felt my left shoulder slipped was perhaps middle of this year. I was watching the world cup at a hotel room with my buddies. (If you must know, I was overseas then) Just then I felt an intense and quick pain on my left shoulder and lost total strength.

I knew that this is likely to be linked to the accident from last year. My shoulder took the longest time to heal. It hurt pretty badly when I had to raise my arm them to change out of my tees. Which kinda reminded me that I had learned a better way to remove my tees, with just 1 arm.

Anyhoo... I was in a big meeting today. It lasted longer than I expected and my laptop was running low on juice. I stood up and leaned forward to attempt to plug in my adaptor to the mains, using my left arm as a support.

Just then, my shoulder slip and I lost control of all strength I had on that arm and embarrassingly fell onto my colleague. He was quick enough to see me and caught me. He knew abt my accident and was in the same room when my shoulder last slipped.

I guess he kinda panic as well and hope that by supporting me, I wont have dislocated my entire shoulder. I am indeed grateful for his actions.

To be honest, there was no pain felt throughout. Perhaps the joints lost their signal and decide to power down. All I know is, I may get a professional opinion of this some day. Got a feeling I know that this could never be fixed and I just have to be careful.

There goes my dream of playing tennis, left handed.

Wedding experience: The guest list

Ok I am jumping the gun here. The thing to do after the finding the venue is the photo-takings, gowns and more.... But I thought I would write about the table numbers first as this is currently my headache.

In a sense this is related to the earlier post on the Venue. Not all the places you want to host your wedding banquet at, could cater to your guest list.

Some of the smaller hotels, have a maximum capacity of 20 or less tables. And when they say 20, they really mean 20. Its simply impossible to put even a baby seat. Then there are those whom has a minimum of 50 tables. I aint kidding about this. Anything less is not possible. Its perhaps the size of a football field.

I intend to keep my wedding guest list as small as possible. A cosy wedding is what I always like to have. That way I could mingle with my guests and not just pop by their table only during the photo shoots.

However, my family tree is pretty scary. Just counting my 2nd degree of relatives alone would come up to 12 tables. Once I include my family's friends, distant relatives that my family is close with, friends and colleagues, My side alone represents 20+ tables. Which is why, a cosy wedding was never possible for me. A loud and noisy one is what I have been used to.

So with a forecast of guests that my wife and myself work out, we are seeing a possible of 30+ tables. This narrows down the choices of certain hotels venue to a handful. In the end, it was a close fight between Conrad and Marriott, and we had opt for the latter for some other smaller reasons.

If you happen to have a small guest list, the good thing some of this hotel establishments, have smaller rooms. The only drawback is that such rooms are not as fancy as their ballrooms. You tend to feel cheated by the lower ceiling, pillars and narrow walkway. Do also be prepare for lesser perks that the establishment is likely to offer.

But of course, take each fall back as an opportunity. If you could not find a venue you are happy with, dont settle for less. Try to think out of the box with something like a beach wedding or a wedding in Bali. There is definitely something you would like once you explore on your choices more. (ehh provided you have the luxury of time) Its your special day and you would definitely want it to be a memorable event.

My current predicament is that we had signed for a minimum of 36 tables. Its likely we be risking a shortfall in attendance. We intend to invite only our close friends and family to be a part of our celebration. No tom, dick and harry would be on our list. (Heng none of my friends have these names)

This may be an unfounded fear on my part. After all, we have not finalised on the actual guest list as yet.

Anyhow, I should better get back to working on the slides and such.

Wedding experience: The venue


Now that you and your partner have more or less settle down on what you guys want in your wedding, its time to look for a place for them all.

Generally there are 2 type of venues. The ROM venue and the banquet venue. You could also combine these 2 into 1. Its entirely up to you.

For me, my ROM venue would be at my Church. The solemniser would be a priest. And this would be held 1 day before my banquet.

For the banquet, it would be a dinner event at a hotel ballroom catering to a few hundred guests.

We gotten a day separation as we are unable to book the banquet venue at the date that we wanted. (Its a hot date and everywhere else has been booked) In prospective, this allows us to have a more relaxing wedding.

Lets start with the ROM venue first. The choice for mine was based on family and religion. Yours could be something that relates to your family and your religion as well. Alternatively you could do a neutral one as well.

Just so you know, you could settle for the rooms at the ROM itself. This may be challenging if the date you choose is a popular date. There is limited rooms there and you are given only a short buffer for your ceremony. Not to forget, the registration start 3 months before your Actual Day (AD) and you should go online the midnight before to stand by.

For those who aint having their there. You just have to e-file at their website, between 3 months to 22 days before your AD. Yes it sounds like submitting your Tax. Dun forget you need to fill in your solemniser details and the venue.

There are plenty of places you could hold your ROM. Ideas, like a yacht, botanical garden, hotel ballroom, outside your ex's house, etc are all available. Do note that most of these places do not come free. You may want to decide on your budget as well.

As for the banquet, the most popular choice is to hold it at a hotel. The reason is simple. You get a nice ballroom, with ample parking, with good hotel food, a suite for yourself and more. If you were to choose some other locations, you may need to plan for your own table decorations, wedding menu, cards, etc etc etc.

But of course, if you were to find a non-hotel location, you are given the opportunity to make it a unique event. Like a wedding by the pool. (there is some risk here, if you know what I mean)

Please note that in any of the options above, you need to know just one thing, that is you must act fast. Wedding location fill up rather quickly and you may have to settle for less if so. Do give yourself at least a whole year of time to shortlist the places you want. We went down to several hotels just to sneak into the ballroom to look at their layout. We also went to "boi" the venue when there is a wedding going on.

Once we shortlist a few places, we send out emails after emails to gather their availability and to arrange for a meet up. We would then meet up with their wedding coordinator whom presents to us their wedding packages and bring us about viewing their location. I must say, that I am dearly impressed with Fullerton and Intercontinental. Too bad both arent available.

Just to let you know, if you happen to choose a date that falls in the 4th or 7th month, you wont need to rush much. Hotels will entice you with packages just so you would sign with them. You would get free lunches and endless supply of pastries and drinks during your meet up. Not to forget, your package will be cheaper with more perks.

The yesteryears gangs



With all the news lately on gangs, it makes me ponder on the need to join a group and feel big there. Anyhow I recalled a story of a great man.

I heard this story eons ago and my recollection may not be entirely accurate.

A gang turned up at my school, demanding to see a particular boy. Apparently this boy stole one of their "bludder" girlfriend. And they want to see him to "discuss" further.

After some shouting and swearing, my principal walked up to them. (I am unclear if the sky darken at this moment) He asked why are they making trouble on his turf. They threatened him and demand to see that boy.

Lau Hair was not someone you could threaten. He rejected their nonsense and ask them to get out. They refused of course and at this moment, my principal walked back to his office and made some calls. (It was pre mobile phones era)

You would have thought that the police would stop by next, but No.... Instead a group of older menacing people came by in a van. They approached the small punks and their big boss asked their affiliations. Sensing trouble is ahead, the punks panic and kept real quiet.

The big boss repeated and still gotten little response. He asked if they would like to create trouble. Once again no real response and they left.

Big boss walked up to lau hair and greeted with a smile. Apparently that his former Maths teacher.

Its been said that every Annual school gathering for the old boys, a table will be reserved for them. Such loyalty is hard to find.

Nessie Grounds

I normally consume 1 capsule a day. Sometimes 2 when I am especially tired. And even once 3 when I needed the hyper mode capability.

And I offered anyone whom wants a nice cup as well. This comes up to roughly 10 caps a week.

Lately I have decided to cut over these caps to extract the used grounds. After all coffee grounds are known to be useful in many ways.

So after a period of 3 weeks, the used grounds came up to a cup high. They have been left uncovered to dry and has a strong bad coffee smell. (Got a curious colleague who wondered what was that and took a big sniff. The expression is priceless)

Yesterday, I brought it home and sprinkle them onto the various plants my mom has been keeping. Organic fertilizer and it keeps the ants away, I said.

I used the remaining on my secret project. And well I hope it turns out well. Stay tuned perhaps

Upside-down Cafe



This is a real cafe. And it was not inspired by Inception.

Nevertheless its one hell of a good design. Something that would draw the crowd in.

If I would start a cafe, it would be something like this. In the meantime i wonder if I could convert my new place as such. Would be a headache for my parents I believed.

The 2 mins Cake



Recall that point out a link on 5 mins Choc cake. And later on show a video clip on it.

Well the Japs think that 5 mins is too long to wait. They have intro a pre-mix and this can be done in the microwave in little more than 2 mins.

I bought mine from Daiso and I think its coffee flavor. There are 2 others available that appeared to be Choc and Vanilla. (everything is in Jap, including the instructions)

I am awaiting a good chance to try this. Kinda hungry now thinking about it

Wedding experience: The ideal and the reality.



Hope you find the proposal a fun process, cause the rest of these experiences are the tough ones.

After she said yes, its timely to let your parents know about this. Of course, you could let them know way before you want to propose but most of us guys would keep it quiet, in case of ... Well you know.

And yes, after your parents know about it, you should meet up with her folks and officially ask for permission. After all, her parents have brought her up and its their faith in you they would entrust her well being.

This comes to the another question. Should you arrange a meeting between 2 families? The answer is Yes, though there is no rush on this. After all, a meeting between 2 families would be more of just a visit. Several decisions have to be made and agreed upon.

Which is why I din arrange for a meeting straight away. Instead we both discuss on what we would like our weddings to be. From this we will also include what our families wishes are likely to be. Once we more or less aligned and compromised, its when a meeting would be arranged.

I must say, this aint an easy step. Your ideal wedding may be different from hers. She may not want Stormtrooper and Jedi knight, raising their guns and lightsaber as you march in. You may not want to be in a pink tux.

From experience, I learned that its always easier to discuss about your ideal weddings even before you propose. Both parties will get an idea on what each other ones and there will be little surprises.

Your families wishes comes next. After all, its your wedding and you should have the first say of things.

Your parents may not be keen on a western menu or the lack of sharkfin or one the "sister" is actually a dude. Some of their ideas might be traditional and if you are able to make do, do give in to them. This applies to certain strong belief they have. A wedding is also a marriage of 2 families and you wont want to start off on the wrong footing here.

The troublesome part might be that the 2 families have different views on how things are to be. Being the couple, you will find yourself in a tight spot here. I am lucky not to experience this. Our families are accommodating.

What I learned is that if shit does happen, dun get yourself trapped in between. Arrange for the parents to meet up for discussion. You just have to facilitate. Its likely both parties will find areas they can compromise in. After all, our parents wont want to let any matter disrupt the wedding.

Do remember, do not shaft small matters aside. This are like gremlims which tends to feed and grow. Address them timely and openly. You be surprise by this.

My old alarm clock



There is this peculiar habit I used to have a couple of years back. The old LED clock in my room was intentionally set 48 mins faster. Requiring some mental calculation to extract the right time.

Now I know some of my friends would set their watches/clocks to a couple of mins ahead. This as I was told, allows them to be on time for their appointments.

However this was not the case for me here.

Firstly, I used it primary to get up on time for NS and school. I need about 45 mins in the morning to get ready. So having a 48 mins faster clock, I could just set the time I want to leave the house by and leave the tedious thinking of what time to get up aside.

Secondly, I am a sleepy head in the morning. Despite several years of knowing that my clock is fast, it never fear to startle me in the morning.

I never had the need for a snooze button. Its open eye. See time in a daze. Jumped up and rush to shower. Memories of the time setting kicks in then. Curse. Swear.

That clock has been dead for a while now. Perhaps I will get a new clock when I get my new place. Can foresee my Fon Fon Ru will be jumping up along with me

Say hello Asuka


Asuka is one feisty Anime character from Evangelion. She can seriously kick butt and is still one cute chick.

Which is strangely why my next phone will be codenamed after her. (of course this keeps the tradition of having all my phones starting with 'A')



And yes my next phone has been decided. It will be the HTC Legend and due to arrive in a week time. Cant wait to meet up with you babe.

Wedding experience: The Proposal


After speaking with CB over my wedding preparation progress, I tot it would be nice to provide my experiences of myself and hopefully this will help my attached friends and family in their future preparation and planning

And to start it off, one must first propose. You cant take lightly on popping this question. Its after all a first step into your marriage.

Firstly, you need to get the right ring. As a guy stepping alone into jewelery shops, you will be greeted with plenty of female staffs eager to serve you. You will be frightened and confused.

I wont go into the details of the diamonds here. Its solely up to you to decided on the 4 Cs and your budget. What you do need is to bring your closed friends along for the searching. Those whom are married tends to give the better advise.

And of course, if you bring a female fren along, they are likely to go crazy with all the sparkly. SOO to meet and bring a variety of friends whom you can trust.

I bought a classic diamond ring with a diagonal setting. My focus was on the size as my friend had put it, its the only thing noticeable. My slight regrets after all this is that I could have gotten a heart shape cut. Something unique instead of the conventional.

Now once the rock is settled, your next step is on the proposal. You aint going to hint hint on getting a "HDB together". Trust me, dun. Its not really that funny and years down the road, you would be reminded by your wife on your "proposal".

What you should do is to come up with a romantic plan. Something fun, something public or private, something that must suit your girl character. If you are dating a shy babe, please dun do a live cam proposal at MAYDAY concert. She will run .... fast. And if she din, she would feel obligated to say yes and regret later.

From my experience, do something simple. Anything elaborated is quite likely to lead to something wrong. My balloons exploded while blowing and well I am left with 2 remaining deflated balloons during my proposal. I also gotten a bouquet ordered via the hotel over the email. Its arrangement is akin to a soccer formation. 1-2-4-8.

Now there is a good chance, they wont say yes immediately. She would be in 700th heaven and be lost for words. If you are not sure if its a go or not, the only telltale sign is that they wear the ring and wont want to part with it.

PS my yes came abt 1 week after. and after seeing this, the girls reading it may try to beat this record. Sorry guys.

That's all for now. Got to run before the army arrives.

Contrast of meetings


As I walked by a general meeting room to top up my kettle, I was entertained by the people in it happily clapping away. It was as if they were giving appreciation to someone on a job well done.

This got me thinking of an old interesting experience I had.

Years ago.....

My scouts boy had a combined activity with a certain girl guide unit. The activity went well in my context and a joint debrief was held with the patrols leaders and the adult leaders.

What turns out here was a surprising development.

The girls started out first. The adult leader, whom was also their teacher, praised them for a job well done. She highlighted a handful of good jobs and each time the girls would clap in appreciation.

My boys then were amused by this. This clapping was so unfamiliar to them. I too find it amusing and thought that this is perhaps what is lacking. A sense of appreciation for oneself to be contributing for the bigger group.

It just then, my scout leader stepped in for his evaluation of the activity. He is no more older than me by a few years and had dedicated most of his effort and time to better our scout group.

He started firmly. Pointing out various things that he is not happy about. There issue on things that gone wary and there are questions on the scouts and guides leadership.

Its then I turned to look at my CB and he gave me the same muted look. We both know that our senior has kinda ruined the moment. It is as if the silver and bronze finalists were openly criticised for not finishing first. And it happened in the big stadium with everyone looking at them. (the female leader jaw probably dropped)

We didnt stopped him then. As a band of adult leaders, we have to look the part that we are one united in opinion. The only thing we did as a saving grace is to thank the boys and girls for organising this and hope that we could do more activities together.

I am guessing the boys were confused on the praises the girls received and the girls were fearful of the torment the boys encountered.

PS. We did tell Aung our friend on his outburst later, we know the damage has been done.

Revenge



With the recent departure of some colleagues, the ball game has changed.

My boss had the impression that the team is doing well. The players were all working hard for the sole objective.

Sad to say, there is no such thing as team here. A handful of players were pissed to be doing all the groundwork while the lazy ones get the team credit. Appreciation runs low and when bad things happened, the finger are pointed at those who did more.

So when the guys had enough and walked out of this league, the lazy ones were alarmed. They aint able to handle this level of shit without the true worker. Team credit can no longer be claimed, instead the whole situation became obvious on who was the main driver (and who is not)

Now with a big headache, my boss is snooping around other teams. He is looking to swap the better ones to balance this team dynamic once more.

Sad to say, his effort is not working. Those who knew about the situation is not keen to help out. (I know I am not)

Needless to say, the task will be throw to a new hired who has no knowledge of this. Only they would be innocent enough to be thrown to the lions.

I wished them luck.

The clicking shoulder

Its been a year since the fateful day and I still could not fully recollect the events.

What I do know is that since the unfortunate accident, my left shoulder has developed a clicking sound.

Initially, whenever I over exerted myself, I would experience a sharp pain at the shoulder blade. This would follow quickly with a numbness to the entire arm.

I gathered that my muscle and nerves had not fully recovered and more time was needed.

This now has evolved to a funny clicking sound that its much like cracking my knuckles. Whenever I feel a slight tingling on my upper arm, I just have to raise it up, hear a click and immediately all my joints would be returned to their position and the sensation is gone.

This is one strange "powers" I have

Smiles for all








Walking down the aisle


Having attended another good friend's wedding, I cant help but feel the butterflies in my tummy. In just less than 5 months, I would be in the same spotlight among closed friends and relatives.

The anxiety is slowly building up in me. There is much to be done. The details, the brothers list, the guest list, etc. And I am still concern about finding the right photographer.

So much was the importance of this, I had held off all plans to seek a greener pasture this year. I simply needed the time and energy to focus on getting the preparation in order.

Just last Saturday, my fiancee and I went for a jog. We have both decided to lose a few pounds and needed each other company and motivation. We ran about 30 mins before stopping and took a stroll towards a food center.

I had with me just $10 which was to be enough for drinks. However, the cravings of satay beehoon and chicken wings were too much to bear. Having left with just over $7, I decided to leave her queuing in the long line while I made a trip back to collect more cash.

Perhaps I under-estimated my abilities. Just 20 mins into the trip back, my legs were crying for a break. I had to stop to rest for a moment, before pressing on. In my thoughts, I just do not want to keep my wife-to-be waiting.

As I arrived at her place, my watch showed a good 24 mins of back paddling. I was exhausted and knew that it may take another 35 mins before I could run back to her. As such I did what the first thing I thought. I took a bus to the nearest busstop I could find. (On the hindsight, I should have taken the cab)

Alighting from there, the running journey took a further 10 mins. My legs were weak but I kept pressing on.

When I final arrived, there was a frantic few mins where I had to search for her. Neither of us brought our mobile phones after all. When we finally met, she had just munch down the last beehoon. Apparently the Q took 1 hr. Such was the speed of the hawker that I could not have imagine how did he managed to build up this reputation.

Anyhow the running prove to be worthwhile. We enjoyed a further plate of Oyster egg and another glass of sugar cane, before proceeding to walk back home.

This running prove to be a funny moment for us. And I would cherish the memories we shared.



PS. All the best, Ann and Andy

fitness regime


I have been keeping a regular fitness regime. Its not strict but I do get the guilt feeling when I skip a session or more.

My regular week consist of 2 gym sessions that are mostly weights training. In addition, I ran twice a week. Ranging from 2.4 to 4km given my mood. I also played badminton if the courts are available.

Now all this workouts did not come easy. Time is a factor that I am finding hard to come by. And what drives me on was that after each session, I realise that my stress has been burnt away.


Couple of years back, I am really unfit. I get breathless easily and would shudder at the thought of running for my IPPT. Strangely now I look forward to signing up for yearly marathons. These group runs are like a milestone for me. Gives me the satisfaction to know that I am fit enough to complete the distance.

And I do know some of my closer frens are irritated by me. Been asking them to run with me in it, though without much success. Last year bday wish of running a marathon with my close pals din quite work out as I would have like.

Nevertheless, I would keep up my nagging and hopefully the bigger ones would be keen to run with me some day

Surprises in Aug

Every year for the last 4 years of my time here, the month of August prove to be an interesting period.

Its when those whom collected their hefty July Performance Bonus would drop their resignation letter and count down to their freedom.

So far, I know of such 3 surprises from the guys around me. There are a potential few more in the wait. And some of them are indeed big surprises.

These big surprises are those whom appeared ever happy with their work or/and has huge commitment.

Nowadays there is no more such loyalty to the organisation. Each has their own path to explore in and staying firm in ones post, prove to be slow (though stable).

Anyhow with the notice period of 1 month in our contract, I am sure those whom drop letters would be SHOUTING ORD LOH in Sept.

All the best, guys!

Rotary Limited Edition Watch



Once again, I found a watch I fancy. This time round, I am into skeletons.

Sad to say though, there aint that many skeleton out there that is affordable and chio at the same time.

The Rotary watch (Swiss made) seen above is a limited edition piece and damnit, there is only 500 pieces worldwide. I am resigned to not being able to get it.



On the contary, the Russian have made a skeleton watch that look pretty decent. I am not sure about trusting the Russian yet. In any case, this is a windup watch and its something I dun have yet.

Life after death


I was standing in the room. Standing by my Fon Fon Ru's side. She and her family were in deep prayers as her Ah Gong was leaving them that night.

I watched as the heart monitor fluctuated. His gasping of air slow. And before you knew it. Ah Gong has went to a better place.

Tears were heard all around. Withdrawn look were in each eyes. The passing of a beloved figure is too much to bear.

My thoughts were in disarray as well. I never witnessed losing someone right before my eyes. Its not something I hope to be around for, but strangely you know you have to be there.

As I thought this later, I realised I had not been a worthy grandson to my late Maternal Grandfather (Gong Gong) and my late Paternal Grandmother (Mama). I wasnt around when both of them were leaving.

Gong Gong passed on when I was 15. He went off at his home. A cosy setting with my parents and all his children (and some grandchildren) by his side. I wasnt there to send him off and I felt disgusted by this.

Mama passed on just 2 years back. She was hospitalise and went into a coma. I was there on a regular basis and she left in a hush the night after her baptism. I wasnt there for the baptism either.

However whats done cant be undone. I could only repay my gratitude to those who are still around.

Lately, we celebrated my Ah ye (Paternal Grandfather) birthday. He was a joyful old man who kept shaking our hands. I could tell that he is not sure we are his family but he is happy to be among a big crowd of people.

We brought him down to the garden and with a small cake and lighted candle left him with the biggest smile I have seen for a long time. We had wanted to bring him out for dinner as well, but his health could no longer endure the distance and hours.

Nevertheless, we were rejoice to see him smile.

(PS. Kinda pissed off when FIFA insisted Mandela to attend the World Cup finals)
