My Father

Last weekend was Father's Day, unfortunately i was working so had to postpone Father's Day dinner to this weekend...hence, since we're on the topic, let mi tell u abit abt this unique father of mine :)

Some of u might have met my father before...some of u have ever commented that he looks like garfield, and the more i see him...the more i agree...especially when he smiles :) not to mention the size has some resemblance too, hehe! and dats why he's unique~

My father has quite a num of beliefs(as do most of us), and one of his stronger beliefs is in feng shui...and because market research shows that 70% of a person's interests and character is based on peer and family influence...i'm also a little into feng shui...but dats beside the point...as i said, cuz father believes in feng shui...he tells mi "do you know that putting blue roses in your room can improve your luck with girls?"......now tell mi...how many fathers out there would tell his son such things???? but dats why he's unique~

My father is retired, and enjoying life(i think...), but he used to be a teacher...there are many types of teachers, like those type who cast an instant spell of sleep upon starting class, those who dun give a damn abt discipline and let students run around the class, those who rule with an iron fist, and finally those who seems to stand on the line with teaching when he/she needs to yet allow bonding with the students...my father is one such teacher...and so much bonding he has done that he has female students asking him out for dinner...and because he says he's shy, he has to pull mi along! but dats why he's unique~

And cuz my father is a teacher, he can be very long-winded at times...and because i am his son...i inherit this long-winded habit as well...for example, you can ask him wat is the answer to a certain question and he can start off with "Once upon a time, in the southern province of China" thingie...but dat's why he's unique~

Now some of u noe as well dat i have a driving license, infact its already a year old, so i dun need the p-plate any longer...so dat's supposed to mean i'm in a way more experienced...rite? not so for my father...now dat the p-plates are gone...the onli time he lets mi drive the car(his baby) is from home to the market and vice versa...even when there was the p-plate when i was driving, he would go into a state of panic and be rattling with words like "STOP", "BRAKE", "SLOW DOWN", "DUN GO SO CLOSE"...things like dat...and cuz i'm a guy...my ego is crushed into tiny bits cuz no one trusts my driving skills, not even mother who would directly tell mi in my face "you cant drive the car!" sob sob....so i try to tell myself...the car is my father's, its onli rite he cares abt it and get panicky when i drive...dat's why he's unique~

Though i gotta say i'm one lucky ass to have this father, cuz blur as he is...he never fails to be by my side when i need someone most...no joke...there are too many countless times when he has been there for mi that i wont be able to repay him in this lifetime...and the same goes for my other 2 sisters too...for whether they realize it or not...father has always been suporting and helping them whenever they needed someone...and becuz of dat, he's unique~

and so with this weekend's dinner, i can onli think of 1 best present for him...to let him noe dat he doesn't have to play matchmaker anymore(he luvs doing dat...for mi...), that i now have a dear dat i love and will cherish :)

Pa, Happy belated Father's Day :)

I juz got myself into something realli big~

"Singapore is hosting the 117th IOC(International Olympic Committee) Session to be held from 2 to 9 July 2005. This is the first time in the history of Singapore sports that a meeting for the highest level of sports leaders is held in Singapore.

The 117th IOC Session will be a watershed event, as two important decisions will be made.

For that will be when and where the host city of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games will be announced and the review of the Summer Olympic Games programmes. So as the world waits for this major announcement, all eyes will be watching as Singapore takes centre stage.

We are expecting attendance of IOC Members who are high profile personalities from sports, businesses, poilitics and royalty, high-ranking officials from International Sports Federations as well as 1,500 media personnal from around the world to congregate in Singapore. Total number of participants is estimated at 3,000 to 5,000."

When James Old Man called mi up the other day threatening asking mi to work for another event, he said and i quote "big event, need training one!"...after today's so-called briefing and training...then onli i knew wat shit i was getting into...from wat i heard of my duties...i might very well get to usher David Beckham and Raul...HOW COOL!!!!

"Mr Beckham? This way, sir!"
Stinko rehersing for what might really happen!

i so feel like marvin rite now...

My mentor/fren/fellow sch mate/old man/old flirt, Robin, used to say that the more cheerful, bubbly or hyper-energetic a person seems to be, the more depressed that person realli actually is...u noe old flirt, i think u r rite!

though i gotta say, u dun exactly need any particular reason to get depressed of anything...look at Marvin!!! the smart robot with GPP(Genuine People Personalities). He/It gets depressed about anything and everything! in a way, u gotta say he's cute in that way~ Marvin is from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (aka H2G2) movie anyway, in case u didnt know...

as i'm a veri bo liao person as some of u ppl might noe (rem the verse i kept singing over and over juz cuz of 45???), i came up with another of those verse...

In order to be a happy man...u gotta be a vegetable!
now let me tell you why
For to be a happy man, you muz have had hopes and dreams
but to have your hopes and dreams dashed, you will be disappointed
and to be disappointed, means you are not a happy man
hence the formula to be a happy man would be to be a vegetable
cuz to be a vegetable means you dun have to think
and not thinking means you dun have hopes and dreams
and to not have hopes and dreams means to never be disappointed
and to never be disappointed means being happy!
hence the equation of being a happy man means being a vegetable!

its a work of art if i muz say so myself! Hohohohohohohoho!!!! tell mi its good!!! i believe marvin will agree totally with mi!!! i'm good!!!

"Marvin, you saved us!" "I know...depressing...isn't it?"

My brudders...

u can be quite sure that when V6 meets up, there will be some unavoidable activities...

Gambling
i'll be truthful here, i'm not a gambler, and i don't like to gamble, the only reason i do so is for the social purpose of it. and i think its also cuz of my past life, as mi was supposedly a hopeless gambler...maybe i got too sick of it, though i gotta say socially its quite a good activity...like how i'll be with brudder Lim on our ups and downs with our money, brudder rick surprisingly losing big time, brudder cong surprisingly earning big time, brudder beng losing big time, and finally brudder seet and his blood bro earning big big big big time...money juz seems to go to ppl with more of dat :P lol

Night touring
Brudder Rick rented a car for this nite for a good purpose, and so off to night touring we went...Geylang is a paradise of china women food and there's no lack of it...we had super-sized "you-tiao" and "dao hue" for supper...its gooood~

billard/snooker/pool/watever other fancy name u have
why spend money on playing pool outside try to be efren rhyes when u aren't even in the top 10 million seeded player rankings, right? so play among own ppl lor, u can be the king man! but no...i'm not, brudder Lim is :P

its a good thing V6 is not fond of drinking, cuz i cant drink to save my own life, and i haven got deep enough pockets to drink, though i fancy i might be forced to pick it up during my NS time...peer pressure...peer pressure...

"i've learn't something new from my initials S.K. and it is "suai kai" suai as in unlucky...get it?"

wat can i do when i'm working

you know, working at OG Albert complex is more enjoyable now then before, partly cuz my supervisor has resigned, and i've more or less got to know the staff there, and there's this cute little girl by the nick of piglet that got attached to OG Albert from Hasbro as well, time passes quite easily nowadays.

i can now walk around more frequently, i no longer give much damn abt how much monopoly game boards i sell, i can talk to piglet, i can talk to the other staff, i help out the staff with their stuff...its nice actually...i even self-serviced myself to open the gundam display shelf and played around with the gundams, hur hur hur!!!

but as with life...there is a negative side of everything...

now that my supervisor has left, there's another mainlander supervisor who looks after the toys department apart from her own stationary department, if i tot my previous supervisor was demanding, this current one is worse...anything also "hen hao mai de ar!" (very good to sell!)...and cuz my previous supervisor left, OG mama(as the nick they called her) or OG's bigshot will come down more frequently...and OG mama has this air abt her that no one dares to raise their voice against her...and she already has this fierce look on her face...heard from one of the staff that there was once when she was scolding a staff...and her voice could be heard from 1 end of the toys department to the other end...dats too bloody scary lor!!!

away from work life now...gonna meet the V6 gang later, cuz brudder Rick's going botak this fri, hehehe, he even rented a car, nissan march! wonder if i'll get a chance to drive...hmm...anyway, gonna catch a movie with them, i havent caught any of the blockbuster movies recently...so anything should be fine, wats more, i'm a movie junkie, anything goes!

lastly...i'm alittle on the sad mood...mi dear's working on mon-to fri and i work from fri to sun...and after my work ends mi gonna go for the op le...sigh...how to meet her like dat? sigh...so miss her so much...
