The day is here. Our 5 dragonboat rowers have been cremated and wat left are ashes. Their talents and future are gone with the wind. They died for their love. Their soul flow with the river. Left behind are their love ones, parents, friends and all who have met them. Everyone wept as they finally depart us. Short yet fulfilling life.
As i wrote, my heart teared. I have Reuben's song played as i wrote this entry. I dunno him personally but when i see the parents teared, my heart broke. No single parent can accept their child's death esp in a freak accident. Reuben's dad said, "Son, you are not in heaven yet. You are watching your dad crying n ur mother upset. You will not want to be in Heaven". I cried.
Watching the news on TV, watching Reuben's self recorded music video on you tube, i dunno why such young n fine talent left us. His video protrayed him as a inpirational young man, full of zest and music talent. What left will be his music. I dare not read their blogs or friendster. I know it will make me even upset. So did the remaining 4. They are very fine young man, son of Singapore. May the 5 rest in peace.
Life have to move on. Back to reality, why did such an unfortunate accident happen? Are they over confident? Are they only concern on winning? Why? There are so many unanswered questions that need to be answered. The 17 survivors are too upset to speak. Is tat true? Or are there more stories to it? As the investigation continue, many would want to know the answer.
The entire team need to explain to the nation what happen. They do not answer to the 5 rowers' parents only. The case has made public and everyone deserves to know the answer. I was very disturbed when i found out tat no one wish to speak openly. The deceased are sons of Singapore. Singaporeans want to know the answer. However, we will have to wait till the authorities conclude the investigation. Sad....

Limousine Ride
I have taken limousine taxi off the street before. However, to have someone offering me a free ride from home all the way to an event location was just NEW to me. I felt like a king. I din know the organiser called for a limousine cab. I felt like a VIP. whahha.. The driver called me before 8am in the morning to see if i am ready.
I was punctual. When i reached my void deck, the cab was already waiting for me. The driver greeted me with a warm smile and my day kicks off! He opened the door for me to board and there was even mineral water on board the cab for me. OMG! Honestly, i really feel like some important guest.
Along the way, the driver told me his life story. I checked with the driver to see if the event organiser had made payment. To my surprise, they din. Then, the organiser sms me to ask for receipt. I spoke to the call centre and realise the organiser din had an account with them to settle payment. Nonetheless, i made the payment and was reimbursed later. It was a cool ride. The surcharge adds to $18. Just the ERP charge alone account for $6.
The event was held at National Library. Nice place. I have been there with dearie to watch theatre drama. However, this time, it was at the highest storey. wow! The same location when PM deliver his National Day Speech. Very nice scenery. I could see Marina and CBD as the background. The views in the toilet were magnificent too! Had some nice breakfast and off to work. Lovely Wednesday!

Dragonboat Tragedy
I am deeply sadden by the loss of 5 of our national dragonboat rowers. They were supposed to attend a joyous occasion in Cambodia but turned out to be a tragedy. I read the papers and there were picture of the rowers, all smiling when they departed for the trip. Who would expect they returned lifeless, not taking the usual commercial flight but on board our Air Force plane. Sad.
A friend who is a dragonboast enthusiast wrote in his msn, "They perished in the name of sports" I suddenly felt life is just so fragile. Well, i believe that if it is time to meet your dooms day, it will. No matter how hard you try to avoid, it will befall on you. 22 rowers, 17 survived but 5 dead. Some said they died while doing something they enjoyed. True. However, i dun believe they wish to end their life this way.
I pity the parents of the 5 rowers. All were young and capable young men. It took great pain to raise the kid but they were gone within minutes. There were pictures of bereaved parents and most were seen sobbing. When accident happen, the first to feel the impact is definitely the family members.
Now, the real question in doubt. Why did the rowers decide not to put on their life vests? Although it was stipulated in the rules tat they had the option to choose whether to wear, the team decide to do away with it so that they could row faster and win the race. Is winning so important than life? Or is it true that our system has inculcate us that whatever we do we must WIN? I think the captain or probably someone should step forward to explain. I mean this is a matter of life and death. When safety is concern, it should not be compromised.
Nonethelss, their death has shock the nation. I am sure everyone is sadden by the turn of event. I hope they could RIP as they return home.....

Satisfied Sunday
Had a great SUNDAY! yeah! Thanks to dearie and jordan. whahhaha... Wanted to go the gym initially but gave up cos i was too tired. Decide to stay at home to wait for Jordan. Then dearie came and we went on an excursion. Well, before tat, little boy was already nagging at me when we are leaving. OMG! I wanted to take a nap n he was nagging into my ears!
When it was really time to go, he was excited. We went Giant and Courts Megastore in Tampines. After our purchase, jordan wanted to go home. OMG! Nagged at me again and again. I gave up after patronising Courts. Took a bus back and he looks tired. He was still walking ard before dearie left. A few mins ago, I took a peek at him, he had fell asleep. ha! Kids are kids. Sometimes they are just so innocent!
Mum cooked nice desserts today. Dearie and i ate quite a bit. The ginko was from Korea lor. Flew abt 8-9 hours from Seoul leh.... Haaha... Nice. I intend to have another bowl later. Dessert for supper. Yeah! Feeling very happy and satisfied now. I guess its the homely and togetherness. Xian mu ma? hahhaha...
PS: Little boy cute! Big boy also cute! hahahha... I like!

Extreme Tots
Sometimes i do feel insecure due to extreme tots. I guess this is part and parcel of life too. That would also explain why i think a lot. I would dare to say not many guys go into deep tots like me. After going thru difficult moments, there is a tendency tat you feel insecure. As a result, one tends to get stubborn or even resistant to changes. I might be a victim too but i also know that occur in extreme cases only. Most of the time, we flow with the mainstream.
What constitutes to the behaviour of a person? Well, i do agree its how a child is being brought up from young. As long as you impart the correct knowledge, the right upbringing, the child will be a filial and abiding kid. That is for most cases. If every other child becomes devil, how would the world become? hahha.. Tats the norm.
In my personal view, i still think its character that shape a person behaviour. No matter how hard a parent try to teach his child, nothing seems to get in. Some children are simply rebellious by nature. Some even worse, angel when young, devil at teens. I still cannot understand why someone can forgo their family for a man or woman? Or even breaking up someone family?? I dun believe their parents would have educated or brought them up tat way.
What abt the many gays and lesbian we see in our daily lives? According to reports and even wat our politicians say, most are born with it. There is no way you change the person but to accept them as what they are. As parents, they would have brought up their child in a way that the child grows up, married and have their own children. Thats the norm. They wouldnt want to see same sex marriage. However, these pple cant fit into the norm but move against nature. Tat also conclude one point, character.
No doubt these are extreme cases, it does left one pondering over such issues. Of course, if given a choice, no one wants to see or even get connected to these extreme cases. Should i call myself lucky? However, i tell myself not to harbour such extreme tots as eventually it wont do me good either. It will add on to the stress that i have to face everyday in life. Work has already given me significant pressure. Tat is also why i need to find a balance. hahhaha...
YAY! Its saturday. I heard Retro Mania presents Call me tonight! OMG! Sad to say, i am going to be late cos i have to work. :( A colleague was asking abt my upcoming trip yesterday. Boy, i was damn excited as i spoke to her abt the trip. Its time to leave this stressful place in 2 months time. It would be good if i can find a cottage n live there for several weeks. That is my dream, remember? Time for fresh air. Nevermind, i shall look for a cheapo form of relaxation tonite!

13 Hours Non Stop
Hehehe... 13 hours non stop?It's not taking a direct flight from Singapore to London. Its working non stop for a good 13 hours. I was damn tired after lunch. Nearly fell asleep, but kept my best to stay alert. Wander around the office, check my email, gossip with my colleagues. That somehow kept me awake. hahhaha...
It was then Mel gave me a call to check for the directions to Palais Renaissance. OMG! He said he had never gone Lido and beyond all these years. He only knows the way to Cineleisure and HMV. I almost fell off my chair and made fun of him. Thanks lor. I became alert after talking to you. This guy.. damn funny.
Then he called again when he reached the place. Damn. He gave me vague instructions which resulted me giving him the wrong direction. Freak! I heard he was dressed up for an interview. hahahha... Still tried to "gek sek" n walked slowly cos he dun want to get wet from sweat. Eventually, he din get the interview cos they were looking for females only! Oh man! Thats discrimination. It was not even stated in the recruitment advertisement. I would have lodge a complain to MOM for this kind of behaviour.
He asked if i would like to meet him. However, i am working. He told me to meet him after work for a drink but i will be too tired by then. True enough! During dinner time, Chua msn me to check if i wanna go Dragonfly. Hahahha.. I would really love to. Ha.. The same reason, i am too tired. I still have to wake up early in the morning tom for another 13 hours non stop action! ok ok.. enough of grumblings. Another 24 hours to go n i will be free! Need to go chill out on Saturday nite. Really! If not, i will die of exhaustion from work.

Inner Reflection
There are influx of information lately and some are worrying. I have tried my best to digest but some were too solid for me. Oh man.... I try to take it as a joke and laugh it off. However, my mind was in a mess and i couldnt sleep very well last nite . It somehow left me in deep tots to reflect on my inner life, myself and everything.
Being Third Party
All these while, i have disliked pple for landing in a 3-way relationship, particularly being the third party. I have heard of some friends in this kind of situation but they were not tat close to me. Now, being in this kind of relationship is already incorrect, yet pple still move ahead n continue their immoral ways. I am seriously in shock. The funny thing is the 3 person are good friends. OMG! Things have moved so fast that it went beyond my imagination. Is this excitement or some kind of fetish? Or am i just behind times?
Victim from Third Party
Someone close to me has been a victim of third party. The hubby is having an affair and she doesnt know wat to do. Crying day and nite, with the child wondering wat happen. She chose the husband but the husband betrayed her. If she reverts to her old self, the world will turn chaos. Hopefully the kid will be able refrain her. The whole incident is simply RIDICULOUS.
Homo Relation
I am not against gay. With all these nonsense going on, i guess my gay friends will be in rejoice. Heng! No kid. When a friend recently told me abt his relationship, i was also in a state of confusion. How in the world can the same sex behave like any other heterosexual. The funny part is they are still very proud of their relationship and go ard advocating to pple. However, to go ard showing off your homo relation doesnt sound rite. I mean you can proceed with all kind of behaviour, i am fine with it but not this extend. hahhaa... Gay friends, dun beat me leh. I am always gay friendly de. hahahhah.....
These issues have been circling round my mind for the past few days. Trying my best to digest watever given to me. I always maintain an open mind but tat doesnt mean i can accept. Nonetheless, life moves on. Work is getting on my nerves liao. hahhaha... Spent long hours waiting for a reply. damn.....

Stay Cool
I was supposed to go to the clinic today. However, after learning the consultation requires 3 hours, i decided to back out. Well, i dun have such luxury to go thru a 3 hour thingy. I have not been going to the gym lately. No choice, i decide to KIV till next week or next month. Met a friend for the usual bitching session.
Well, I must say i have lots of tots after chatting up with him. What in the world has this come to? I knew that would happen but eventually nothing good will turn out of it. That brings me back to wat a friend said, when you know it hurts, you are still willing to give it a try. Well well... Deep down, i tot was it for excitement? Being notti? Or overstress??
Yes, i agree when comes to a relationship, emotions will be involved. We attempt to think logical but there are times it didnt. I ask myself, how long will this last? Even if you know its not going to last, you choose to ignore and insist your way?? I have not been in this kind of situation and i dun wish to be in it. When i think abt it, i tell myself, things have changed beyond our imagination. Tats also y i tell myself to stay simple. The more you think, the more complicated it becomes, the more stress you will give yourself.
I tot i have been crazy. Ha.. NO! There are even crazier pple than me. I have to acknowledge this fact. I should be happy i am exposed to all kind of circumstances. Till then, my ability to remain calm works very well. Afterall, the training provided by my employer is useful. hahahha.... We are not living in a world of our own! Mind you! Humans are simply pretendious. Really.... It does caught you off guard when you are not ready. so.... Watever happen, stay cool!

Happening!
Happening! I was treated to Volcano last nite! OMG! It was so hot that i felt my lips burnt. Ha... Most regulars turned up as usual. However, the crowd at Dbl O has become smaller. In the past, it has always been crowded with many kids and executives. Today, there is no queue at all. You can just go in at any time even past midnight.
A few of us get together and dance. I treated Gavin to drinks. I wanted to make him drunk but he came with his car. Shyt! I told him not to drive le. Nonetheless, he drank a little. We met a "long-time-no-see" regular. ha! Surprise surprise! We were giggling as we watched her dance. Took quite a number of pictures last nite. Slutty pix!
On Friday, I had the honour to meet Ying's gf. OMG! Yesh! So decent and sweet looking girl. Well, it all started when Hao asked if i wanna meet him for supper. I agreed immediately. He came over to my workplace and pick me up. After which, I gave Ying a call. Then we got to meet his dream girl. hahhaha....
We went all the way to Bukit Panjang to pick him up. Along the way, we gossip till we reach Thomson area for prata. Yep. The popular prata store there! As the place was stuffy, I suggested they come to my house to continue our Man's Talk. We talked abt many things mostly on relationship. hahhaha.. Ying was sharing with me his personal experience. I can see he is feeling sweet at this moment.
They left my place at 3am. I really miss the days we used to hang out. We are so busy with our life and commitment. In the past, it was like we meet every week. Now, it 's once or twice a month. I am arranging another session with Keith. OMG! Yesh! Then the 4 of us can get together to remincise the good old days.

Gay turn Straight
Crazy day as usual at work place. A colleague was on mc and everyone had to put in extra effort. Well, cant say much cos we really had no choice. Before i started work, i drank a cup of coffee to perk myself up. Well, its necessary to make myself stay alert throughout the day. Then it was rushing, searching, toking on the phone etc.
Last nite was Gavin's Bday. We had a celebration with him in zouk. He drank quite a bit with his fellow colleagues. It was Yang's Bday too. However, he din turned up. I guess he must have spent time with his gf. We partied till zouk closes at 4am in the morning. Ha! I finally had the oppt to dance on the centre podium! Well, according to "house rule", only the mambo family get to stand there. ha! Cant believe it. The experience was not too bad! ha!
During the day, met up with lin. Yep. Heard so many updates from him abt what happened in the industry. I guess this is part and parcel of this industry, pple are moving from one place to another. No matter how, we will somehow meet somewhere. It would be good not to offend any pple. The industry is small.
Then it was back to gossip. OMG! I realise a friend of mine turned straight! ha! Can you believe it? A gay turning straight. Ha.. I have only heard abt straight turning gay but not the other way round. whahhaa... Well, its a good thing. But i find it hard to believe unless the girl is damn attractive! That may be the reason! oh man......

Stress ah
I received feedback from some of my friends regarding my last entry. hahhaa.. Well, i need to clarify something, i wrote the blog in such a way to protect identities as well as to protect myself from possible defamation. With the government tightened up new rules on blogging, one have to be responsible for wat he wrote. I am just being careful. If u dun understand wat i wrote, then read and forget.
It was an extremely busy day for me. Had numerous miss call and msges. Sorry friends. I was so busy tat i left my phone in my bag. I have no time to pick up calls at all. Shyt! I just couldnt understand why, so much things to accomplish within a short period of 8 hours. Like wat ken said, our jobs are tough. However, there are pple who dun appreciate their jobs.
Was invited to a friend bday this week. Ha.. Good lar. At least i can break away from work. I have to work 6 day this wk, with only a day off. :( Thanks to training! Since i need to work harder, i need to play harder too. hahha.. Life is not abt work, not abt going to town, not abt clubbing. But a holistic kind of lifestyle. whahhahaha...

Ponder Ponder
Nothing much to blog seriously. However, something kept ringing on my head. Ha... I was thinking abt a question post and it seems so contradicting. Here is the question.
If you know it is bad, will u still go thru the same phase again?
Nothing spectacular. No doubt. Some said they are willing to give it a try and do it all over again. While others may protect themselves n put a stop to it. There is no right or wrong to this. It just keeps me pondering why human are just fool of themselves. hahhaha... I may offend some pple but seriously, dun you agree we are fools at time?
You might have been hurt several times n yet u still want to go thru it again. Why ah? hahah... Is it pride that wanna prove u wrong? Or is it instinct tat made u do it? Or u wanna experience life so you dun mind doing it although u know it will end up no where? If u were to ask me, i dunno wat my ans will be. On one hand, you are logical but on the other side, u becomes emotional.
However, there is one thing tat i am very confident about. I wanna live my life to the fullest. I dun want to be a sterotype Singaporean. Just different. I am just sick of the way how we live. The world is huge, there are still many unaccomplished task to be fulfilled. It is not abt working or going out to town or even club. It is more like a holistic kind of lifestyle tat one choose to live. I am still finding a comforable zone tat i can settle on. Currently, it is still cool. I still love the way i live. But there is always room for improvement. The grass is always greener on the other side.

Winter Trip
Its my off day finally! It was training on the first day of the week. After which, it was an assignment. On tat assignment day, met a funny woman. My colleague and i were leaving from the venue when this woman stop our vehicle. She was wrapped with a towel on her head, with at least 3 big bags of packed lunch. I mean BAGS.
She insisted we gave her a lift cos there was no cab at the vicinity. Well, it was in Chinatown, there are plenty of cabs available. We tot she was some crazy woman, so din want to offer her a lift. We pointed to different areas which we wanted to go, she is fine with it. aiyooo.. That scare the hell out of us. Eventually, we took her in and fetch her across the street, whom she claim can get a cab more easily. Very funny woman.
Back to my next trip, yep, it has been finalised. Met a lot of obstacles in securing the air tix. It was first Northwest, then other airlines. Online agent quoted $1400 for NWA, which sounds good. However, when i place the booking, the agent called n said they din include the fuel charges. By the time u add up, the price is not much of a diff with premium airlines. I wanted to get SQ tix, cos the promotion for 2 is pretty attractive.
I almost secured the tix when i got booted out by the SQ system. TMD. When i reload the website, the cheap deal is gone. So i waited for the whole day n there was no cheap deal. Till nite, then the deal came again. I just checked, the deal is still there. You see lar, everytime when i try, no cheap deal, when i decide to give up, it comes. Irritating.
Well, i couldnt wait anymore last nite so decide to book CX. It was quite a good deal cos the connection, departure and arrival timing are good. The cost is not much of a different if you compare with NWA. It is slightly cheaper than SQ discounted tix. I am worried seats will be taken up, so decide to place my booking. Secondly, i am worried fuel surcharges may surge further, so it would be good if i book earlier.
Went to the website made my payment. Then pop up a screen tat said "Transaction Incomplete but your bookings may still be confirmed" WTH. I got a shock. I wanted to call the office but it was closed. I check my email, no confirmation note or anyting. I decide to give the company a call this morning.
Damn. No one picked the call from 830am to 1130am. I was worried! I tot the company might have closed down or i have been cheated. I called the bank. I was told the money has been debited. OMG! Tat adds dbl stress to me. I am left with no choice but to head down the office. Fortuntately, the company is still there. I was relieved. I complained to the staff for their efficiency. Their reply was there was a shortage of manpower to man the lines.
Well, she apologise to me while i was still fuming. Ha.. She did a check and confirmed tat Cathay has issued the tickets to me. She printed out the tickets and handed it over to me. It was then that i really felt total relief. Wau lau! I tell myself, i will pursue the case if they dun issue me the tickets. I was almost on the verge to call the police. hahahha... With the saga ended, it is time to prepare for the trip. hahahah....
After talking so much, where am i heading to? whahhahah.....Make a guess lor.

What Happen?
Been so tired over the last few days. Yep. Work as usual. Shall not rattle much abt it. However, my emotion went thru a roller coaster ride last friday. I almost wanted to blog but din do it eventually. I guess if i were to pen down my tots, it will be very negative. So decide to KIV till my mood finally settles.
I was so emotional on tat nite that i went for a walk after working out. I tot i would be able to sweat it out and vent my frustration on the treadmill. It only improved a little. I still feel very upset after the run. In the end, i took a walk ard harbourfront area. I walked to St James and saw long queue outside Dragonfly. It was then tat i met HT. Its been some 3-4 years since i last met him. My attention was diverted. ha.. thanks to HT. When i was back home, Yang and Larry msn me. We tok cock and i felt so much better.
It was a usual nite at Dbl O. Yep, most regulars were not there except Ken and David. Good lar. It is time to return to the good old days when it was only three of us. Our common objective, dance to the music. hahhaa... Yeah! I really dance till damn shiok last nite. I remembered some ladies looking at my direction. hahha... Dancing king leh.....
Star Search 2007 just ended moments ago. Kin Jun was asking if i watched the show, i am like ermm...... I watched cos i tot it was more like a Star Search Alumni gathering. Participants from few batches ago, like Jeff Wang, Ix Shen, Siewli, Zoe Tay, Alieen Tan, Ivy Lee were present. Interesting!
Gosh. I wonder if the winner Chen Bang Jun will eventually be a star. Look at Bryan Wang Yanli. He was the winner from Ming Xing Ou Xiang, supposed to be Star Search 2005. I dun think he has won the hearts of many viewers yet. Remember 97 Start Search Champion Chang Lufeng? ha... He had many supporters during tat time but failed and returned to Taiwan eventually. I guess a lot depend on luck. well well...
It will be another busy week. Training, work and more work. hahaha... Though Deepavali is on Thurs, i think i am working on tat day. Haiz.....

变态到底
This is how crazy my working environment can be. Damn. I got this from a friend's blog. Oh man! Imagine we are going thru this everyday. Well... Tats why i need a lot of personal time for myself. Too hectic le....
1. 大多数人在睡觉时，我们必须醒着。
思路要异常清晰，不能犯糊涂。否则，编辑要写错稿，导播要喊错指令，主播要吃螺丝，这螺丝的味道可不那么鲜美。早班同事凌晨4、5点就开工了，晚班同事最晚的，半夜，也就是凌晨才收工。这还不算，要是哪位晚班的人突然被调去做早班，那才是最大的噩梦，可以借机让自己尽情变态一番。
2. 大多数人休假时，我们工作得比谁都欢。
公共假期对我们来说，只是日历上的一个小红字。办公室是我们的度假圣地。要是碰到大选、国庆日、过年这样的大日子，或者发生了什么大事，我们会齐刷刷、一个不漏地回办公室度假。而且越有大事发生，还越兴奋。你说，这不叫变态叫什么？
3. 和同事在一起的时间，比和家人在一起的时间多。
由于工作时间的变态，造成我们和家人的相处也很变态。虽然同在一个屋檐下，却可以好几天都没办法和家人面谈上几句。反而是和同事们时时粘在一起。偏偏紧张的工作节奏又让我们几乎丧失了性别的敏感。于是，新闻室里只有男人和牲口。这来源于圈内流传已久的调侃，女人当男人用，男人当牲口用，而老板就连牲口还不如。也正因为此，办公室恋情很少发生，办公室姻缘就更稀有。这样也好，一个家里有一个人变态，已经够了，两个人一起变态，处理不好会连累小孩。
Now, you know why i travel and club so much. An escape from the harsh reality? hahahha...
