Hello everyone~! I'm back... 2 weeks of ICT is finally over. Phew. But after everything, it seems that i do miss my friends from the army. Meet up once a year, does feel a bit sad parting.
Ok, big plans for the day. Tonight we're going to shop for weihao's birthday present. Then he's gonna meet us around 2am at Janus' place so we could cut cake and celebrate him getting older. As per tradition, gifts are to be useless. What's the point of having something useful. It is the non-useful presents that are funny and interesting lol. But first, dinner... We actually wanted to go try the chinese buffet dinner at Miramar Hotel. BUT... none of us knows where it is. AND i really dun remember eating there ZK. You sure we ate there before ?? So we settled at Lao BeiJing at Plaza Singpura level 3 for their business set meal.
Glorious food. We had a 6 course dinner which includes chicken soup, roasted peking duck, shao mai, braised tofu, knife sliced noodleand tang yuan for dessert. The food is really not bad. In fact, it was great but the bill was also great as well lol. Close to $110 for 4 person (OUCH.. wasn't it suppose to be $18.90 per pax huh ??).
So next came the shopping. We tot that we should buy something that is useLESS. As far back as secondary sch days, i could remember such practices being carried out. For instance, we bought weihao a bottle of hair gel and a comb for his 16th birthday. Nothing wrong with that right? WRONG. He has no hair (botak lol). So it went on for the next 7 years. So this year we wanted to get him a roll of cloth with pokemon cartoon design but later decided to change it to something more kinky haha (shall not reveal wat we got for him eventually wahaha). Pretty useless but funny. Then came the cake. We decided to try something new. Something no one has done before. We decided to get him a chiffon cake for his birthday haha. So we made our way back to Janus' place. There was a heavy jam at serangoon road and it took ages to get home.
At first glance, i tot janus was driving with no hands (horrors). And ZK is happily wrapping weihao's birthday present with a set of TODAY newspaper (shit, not thick enough la... should have used the straits times haha).
Of course weihao's cake must be special and we tot a chiffon cake is not special enough. So TADA, the candles are so cool la. We can't help but laugh ourselves silly.
Then came the finale. We lit the candles and it was pretty cool haha... the cake almost caught fire i think lol
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEIHAO ~!!

Living Life
Got this from a bulletin posted by wispie on friendster. Quite meaningful. Hope you guys will find it meaningful as well.
A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer. The lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite. The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks forthemselves.
When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke: "If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup,but we unconsciously went for the better cups."
"Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."
"If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the water in it."
- Mother Teresa

Simple & Clean
Ok, i've found the english version of the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack "Hikari". It's now in the "now playing" section of my blog. If you prefer the japanese version though, you could still listen to it by referring to the previous post. I've placed the song in that post.

Hikari (Translated Lyrics)
Hikari by Utada Hikaru from Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack
No matter what the time I'm just alone Destiny forgotten, Even though I kept going. Inside of the sudden light I awaken In the middle of the night
Quietly, Stand in the exit way, And, in the pitch-black, take the light
And about the recent promises, Is it just that I'm so anxious? A wish that`s wanting to be said, but shall be repressed I'll introduce my family, You'll surely get along well
No matter what the time We'll always be together No matter what the time Because you`re by my side The light known as "you" finds me, In the middle of the night
Enter a noisy street And put on the mask of destiny.
Thinking too much about the future. Stopping things that have no meaning. Today I'll eat delicious things. The future is always before us, Even I don't know it.
It's not necessary to go right to the end, Just keep going. It`s okay if the scenes Go on one by one. The light known as "you" reflects my scenario
Let's talk more, And about the tomorrow that's before your very eyes. Turn off the television, And look only at me.
No matter how well we're doing, I don't believe in us completely. But at those sort of times, Because you're by my side, The light known as "you" finds me, In the middle of the night.
Let's talk more, And about the tomorrow that's before your very eyes. Turn off the television, And look only at me.
Let's talk more, And about the tomorrow that's before your very eyes. Turn off the television, And look only at me.
It's time for reservist again. It'll be 2 weeks this time and i guess i'll certainly miss my friends. Take care you guys and seeya when i get back.

Kingdom Hearts
Yes~!! I finally completed Kingdom Hearts. Yes i am slow, i know the game came out in 2002 lol. But oh well, its a fun game and i totally enjoyed myself. Took me about 1 month and was totally addicted, esp to the gummi ship battles. The game play was excellent, the storyline was captivating and the music was wonderful. A must play for any gamer out there lol, of course most of you would have already completed it years ago. YEAH... onwards to Kingdom Hearts II...
Ending of Kingdom Hearts **Highly Spoiler**
Oh man, this ending is so heart wrenching...

Quote of the Day - Roasted (Donald) Duck
For those who play Kingdom Hearts, you should know that stopra is a spell and Donald (Donald Duck from disney) sometimes likes to cast then for no reason. This is a quote from a fren who is pissed with donald casting stopra lol. I find it particularly interesting esp the though of eating roasted duck (donald).
"time trial he stopra.. i will eat roast duck ah" - From a friend of mine.
