Its time to blog a bit before I depart for my trip later. This is my second business trip after the one in Indonesia last year. Did a lot of last minute liasing work before I leave. Well, thankfully they offered me a good flight. Though its an overnite flight, I think I can catch a couple of movies before I reached.
Well, this is the first time I am departing for a Middle Eastern Country. Never in my life had I gone to such exotic place. I even brought a guide book to read later on board! hahaha.. I heard things can be pretty expensive there. No currency exchanger here that will accept their dollars! In the end, I got to change USD. ahhaha...
Besides working, it should be an enriching experience for me. I believe I can get to see many things which tourists wont get to see. hahha.. That itself is a plus point. Will be travelling to several places, hopefully the whole trip will be smooth sailing. Will be back in a week. I will try to update whenever possible if I got the time! hahaha...
Hello UAE! I am coming.....

Grand Finale of Double O
It was the last night for double O before it shift out from its current location at Mohammad Sultan Road. It has been more then 5 years since I went to this place. I felt like crying when I stepped into the place for the last time. I will be away next week and will not be able to attend the last party at Double O.
From what i understand, it was the last retro party this week. It will be a mixture of songs next week for the grand finale of Double O. Whenever I think of the place, I feel something pulling in my heart. It was here where I met many good friends. David, Bowen, Cindy, Kaz, Larry, Leon, Geswin, Paul, Jaden, Rasheed, Ice, Damien, Zhiyang, SK, Stanley, Terrance, Ziyi n gang, Winson and gang, Andrew, Eric, Dailing, Melven, Garfield, Panda, Weiliang, Kairong, Melvin, Buckie, Nasi Lemak, Jerome, Irvine, Xinghe, Jason, Jasmine, Jeffrey and Zouk gang.
There were many memories of these pple. Whenever I think of the place, it somehow brought me memories over the last 5 years. There was once i brought Vanessa, May Wong and even Lijun to the place. We drank and had fun. There were also Christopher, Denscen and even some funny guys that i met. Really, there was so much fun that I was once addicted to the place. I felt uneasy whenever i do not visit the place.
I would visit double O prior to gym or even get a stamp, then proceed to gym before returning. I missed the good old times when it was still under Emerald Hill management. It was those days when i get to know the door bitches well. I was often treated to nice drinks and I was good at keeping myself awake. We would always gather outside double O then head for supper before we go home. Those were the days.
I remembered when we first went, it was only Kenneth and me. Then the group expanded to include Gavin. Then it was Jaden and the rest was history. Those day, we have Catherine, Zhiwei, the maid and others. It was always long queue and I have to wait for like half an hour before i gain entry. These day, I can get it within a few minutes.
Those supper on Rou Gu Cha were really memories to me. We always giggle and joke about the club. Ken and I will always be early to get the free stamp. Then double o decide to introduce a $10 charge. We will usually meet before 8pm to get the stamp. It is kinda of sad when the club is finally closing and moving on to a new location.
Oh I almost forgotten. Kenny also attended the session. Hahahha... We really party very hard. It was during those days when Music underground closes. Ken and I had to search for a new location and double o was the place. We partied during many occasions including Halloween and Chinese New Year. I still remember the first time when i stepped into double o. It was 31 October 2004. It was still reflected on this blog.
Then i went for many many overseas holidays and i skipped going to double o. It is now that the place is finally close for business. I understand they are moving over to Queen Street. It will be a new place. It is no longer the high ceiling place that we used to club. It is no longer the place we used to won in a competition. What left behind are simply memories.
I took many pictures of the place. This is to remember it was part of my life. From the toilet, to the lounge to the place when i dance. I will really miss the place. Double O....

活在当下 活出精彩
Have been reflecting a lot over the last few days. What strike me was, do it whenever you can, do not hesistate. You never know wat is going to happen next. We must cherish watever we have now and also do things that we remember for life. Well, having say tat, even simple decision in life, we should not hesistate too long.
I was watching a documentary on Tv featuring a cancer patient. He said when you are sick, u feel helpless and you cant do anything. You will sleep on the bed and start to regret things that have never done. So what are the things that you have not done? Think about it. Do not waste time worry abt this or that. When things happen, it will be too late to regret.
My views changed over the last few days. I wanna do watever things I feel like doing it. There were times i keep contemplating. Now i just hope to get it done soon! I wanna live life to the fullest. 活在当下，活出精彩！

无常 难过
This is one of the saddest day in my life. I tot I have other issues that will make me upset with life, blame on life or watsoever. When I heard of the shocking news, I felt thunder struck. I have never have this feeling in my life. I felt like crying but no tears, my heart shattered n somehow i feel the pain. Nothing to do with the stupid Jack Neo issue. Its abt friend. As I write, I really feel the pain in my heart.
A close friend of mine told me he had cancer. I was speechless for a minute. I mean he is younger than me, so close to me and yet he contracted this kind of diseases. I am afraid, i am worried, I dun want to lose my friend. To me, he is my brother, he is my close friend. I was nearly in tears as he unravel the truth to me.
He showed me his operation photos, he showed me his stitches. I mean i find it really hard to accept. I teared as i wrote this entry. I dunno, i just feel so pain and he is still looking optimistic. I was told he had a 60% of another attack. Though he had removed the cancerous tumor, doc said it might just come back anytime. I told myself no matter how many diffculties I face, i cant compare to the pain my friend had to go thru.
I really teared as i wrote this entry. How could someone end up this way? Why? However, I am happy he recovered after the surgery. He was kind enough not to tell me wat happen till our party finishes. When i saw the scar on his stomach, I reminded myself, dun be complacent. Take good care n cherish the friends ard u.
I will pray for my friend. No more attacks. I want to see him get married and leave a long life. My brother, i will pray for u... I hope to see you even when we are 50 over years old.

嫩牛吃老草
Time to update again! hahaha... CNY is already over and this is my first entry after CNY! This year I din visit my relatives cos i was either too tired or something happened at home. Haahha.. I would say this is a first time for me. No visiting and i never get to see relatives. Lovely. Sui! I spent most of the time working. A truely workaholic.
I am on leave today but i still receive a lot of calls. Have to work from home too. Sian. I think tat is the problem of technology. Real time lor. You are like on standby 24 hours. I am preparing for 2 trips. One to Penang this weekend, another one to Dubai at the end of the month. Pretty excited cos it would be an eye opener for me. I have been to Penang nearly 10 years ago during my university days. This time will be more of a nostalgic trip. As for Dubai, it should be very exciting cos its my first time on Middle East soil!
While on my way home from gym today, I saw an article about 嫩牛吃老草 meaning young man to date a old lady. It has been the headlines for most chinese tabloid the last few days. We always hear about 老牛吃嫩草 meaning old man date young woman but not the other way round. I think the world has changed again. Hahaha... The same question that i always asked, are we too slow to keep up with time?
I wonder if this is a principle or moral issue too? If it was your child, how would you react if ur daughter date an old man or your son date an old woman? How are you going to deal with it? Honestly, I really dunno cos i m not a parent. hahhaa.. But i did pose a question to myself, do you prefer to be in this position or you prefer ur child to be gay or lesbian? hahha.. I mean the world is changing and trends are diff now. I din know how to answer when tat tot flashed across my mind.
The easiest way out is dun be a parent. That may ease all the unnecessary worries or risk. hahaha... Well, tat will be against what our goverment wants us to do. Its a dilemma, its a choice. hahahahha... Well, we shall see how things go.... lol
