I was at Dbl O last wkend, both Friday and Saturday to celebrate the club 9th anniversary. Gosh, 9 years into the business and they are still growing. I remembered they faced a crisis once when the building owner decide not to renew their lease with the club. The residents at Fraser Suites are probably disgusted by the sound and the ugly sight they see every weekend.
Nonetheless, i guess they manage to resolve the problem and the club continues to spin music and laughter for everyone. The first time i turned up at dbl o was in 2003! There was like 6 years ago when i was still in NTU. I was with ed, gavin, wanqi and mulian. It was my first time there but i din hv good impression of the place. It was till Halloween on the subsequent year when i started going almost every week.
From dbl o third birthday till now, wow... tats long enough... hahahha... Anyway, i was invited to the 9th birthday party and it was really fun! There was free flow of beer and house pour! I was almost drunk! Then we hop on a hippo bus and went ard MS, Orchard, River Valley, Clarke Quay! We were drinking, shouting, cheering, whistling and waving! It was really so fun! The nite tour with the drinks were really cool!
People who saw us from the bus were waving at us. Ken said it was like the victory ceremony when the table tennis women team won the silver olympic medals and paraded in orchard road on a hippo bus! This time it was nite, the air was cooler and everyone is in a relax mode. One of my happiest moment at the point of time. I suddenly felt so fun to be in Singapore. hahahha... The 1 hr ride was great n really left a deep impression in me!
On saturday, it was free entry. Most regulars came and we performed the usual ritual. hahhaha.. The mambo dance! However, cos it was free entry, there were a lot of funny pple too. Some wierdo and "dunno from where" came! They hog on the stage and platform. I mean we are fine with them dancing there but some were just standing n not moving. I think they are probably looking for prey for a nite of rendevous. hahahha... Bitch la...
Anyway, it is almost a week and i only get to update today. Hope it is still not too late. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DBL O !!"

True Love
Do you know wat is the meaning of true love? True love is not abt meeting every other day or keep buying things for the other party or even dear this dear that. I think true love is to be forgiving, inclusive and forward looking. A recent friend of mine got married and i was really touched by his marriage. I called it an extraordinary Marriage.
We were long time friends and it was obvious he was a gay. He did reveal abt his sexual preference those days and talked abt how much craving he had for guys. He admitted he tried to control but i guess lust have put everything aside. He has been an aj for as long as 5 years. He even confessed to his parents abt his sexual orientation. They were totally devastated. Coming from a parent, i guess no parents will find it easy to accept such behaviour.
Till one day when i met him, I realised he has a gf. I was in disbelief. I mean someone who is so Aj in his life had turned straight. It is definitely not easy. However, i am still happy. After all it takes great courage and perserverance to change. There could be 3 reasons, one religion, two family pressure, three the woman. I mean it is not easy for a woman to accept her bf who used to be a gay. Woman, would you be able to accept tat?
Woman always talk abt security and the need for love n to meet as often to show the importance of love. There is nothing wrong abt that, but are you 伟大 and willing to accept guys of this nature. I would say 98% will shun away. Who would want tat to happen to themselves? However, my friend's gf, no in fact wife din. She accepted who he is and even stood by his side all this while. To a guy, if a ger who is so good and willing to accept who you are, there is no doubt that the person is really true to you. I believe he must be touched by his wife and eventually got together.
When i saw their wedding photo, i feel serene for a moment. He finally chose the mainstream. His parents must be very happy. He is also happy to have chosen a wonderful bride. My heartfelt congrats to the couple. I have never feel so much for a married couple. I have been thinking lately a lot abt them. 你们的决定，让我对爱有了重新的定义。恭喜两位！

Finally Blog
Opps! Its been sometime since i last blog. I think my blog is dying le la... No time and lazy to update. I should try to keep it alive more often. I guess my readers have gone! hahaha.. No updates! lol. There has been a lot of things going on. I wanted to blog but when the time comes, i get lazy and decide to do it the next day. Then the vicious cycle begins. hahhaa.. Day after day.
I have decided to blog today cos of an incident ytd. Did something new in my course of work. I would say its pretty satisfying. There were a mixture of good and bad comments. I take it with strides. It was a pretty big challenge for me. I first learned abt the job in April. When the day came, i was excited but felt the stress too.
Thankfully everything went on smoothly. I ended work quite late, almost collapsed when i reached home. Headed to bed after chatting with some friends. Fall asleep in less than 5 minutes. I was really tired. Nonetheless, it was a nice experience to Parliament House. I have never been there in my life. hahahha... Its quite a fun experience to walk inside. There's a beautiful garden behind the building which overlooks Singapore River. Cool Lor.
More work to come. Went Bugis to have Mala Steamboat earlier. It has been sometime since i last had steamboat. Really ate a lot. My friend and i ordered the spiciest soup. Haa... We are spicy food lovers. Super hot will be the only choice. hahhha... If i were to eat with Ken or Jun or others, i guess they cant take it. lol.... So i know who to eat with next time if i wanna eat Mala Steamboat. hahhahahhah.... Yum!
I hope i will update this blog real soon. If not, the blog will close shop one day. hahhaha...

Birth of Second Mandarin Channel
Singapore second mandarin channel, Channel U was born on 6 May 2001 under the arm of the now dyfunction Mediaworks. The day when we first have a taste of 2 different channels under 2 different giant company. Sad to say, it ceased operation on Dec 2004 and we longer enjoy programs from 2 different companies.
Before the launch of the channel, the team really did lots a great job by having all kind of publicity in town. I still remember those balloons, notepads and even models pushing carts ard orchard road to "inform" everyone, hey a new channel is born. On the day when the channel was launch, i was at NUS UCC to watch the 启播大典！I still remember Alan Tam was invited!
It was the same day when Channel U had its first TV bulletin which really challenge the all time favourite channel 8's 10点新闻. For a start, news bulletin was 7pm and 930pm. However, not many pple choose to watch because of Singaporeans' habit. The programming dept from Channel U decided to have a head on challenge with Channel 8's 630pm and 10pm bulletin. Wow! This was when the real challenge came.
Sad to say, the competition is gone. It has become "those were the days". I met some SPH pple and they had fond memories of those days. I am thinking if Mediaworks Channel U is still around, she would be celebrating 8 year old birthday. Ha! Well, memories are gone but i still miss those exciting days when we get to see 2 different teams producing quality programs!
