Qing gong KTV. Part 1

Please refer to miko's blog and yanhong's blog for Part 2 and Part 3.

Y mine is part 1. Cos mine got no pic mah. Where got interesting if i tell u all the whole story.

After we left for home, Qiuyue and Liqin decided to stay overnight at cck. I think i heard teacher saying "We going there at 11.30, KTV start at 12."

Then i left home at 11 after watching Power Ranger (stupid show). Thinking its a bit hard to find (But i know tat area), i project that i will be late.

As expected, i reached at 12. I walked round e block but cant find the place. Cos i no hear them saying its not on ground floor...

I found e place by 12.05pm. Guess wat! Nobody...

i stayed outside e place til teacher n her friends came around 12.10. Teacher asking me y i no go in. "Bo lang, go in for wat?"

Then groups from the opera ktv class came in. Its til only abt 1.15 tat Yanhong and May coming in with "Bala".

During this 1 hr, teacher keep asking me to sing song. But i prefer to wait for opera group to come first. In the meanwhile, i was flipping through the song book. All weird songs...

At 2.15pm, Ms Tan called me. She was fustrated cos she cant find the place. She was lost.

She told me "I now very piss off, wanna go home liao. Can u come down to fetch me? i dont know the place. I now at blk 23. Near swimming pool."

I was quite surprised. Ghim Moh where got swimming pool. No need to c lah. She confirmed is at Holland Drive. Then i ran to her to fetch her lor.

Then she was complaining that the uncles gave her wrong direction. They directed her to block 23 n not our blk 21.

Of cos lah. She no tell them she wanna go Ghim Moh mah.
I only started my first song after fetching her back.

Refer to others blog for other part of the ktv story

frightening day

i was like running for Ge Tai today...

Morning, i bo liao. So i made an appointment for brunch with some1. I took only my textbook although i know i should bring my gears. But i will look silly to bring all gears n walk around city...

I stayed with this friend til abt noon to be 'understudy' for an hour (I was too early for class) before going to aracade to play game. Dont like tat lah... I only know how to play Virtue Soccer...

As i was playing halfway, i received a call from unknown source. I panic! Cos i tot its an activation. In the end, its that friend who call me from his office.

Scary leh!

I making my way to school via COI. As i reached COI, i received another scary sms... From my senior medic, asking us to prepare for surprise.

OMG, my class starting at 2pm and its 1pm liao! How! how!! how!!!

In the end, i was in class sleeping as usual... Then i received another sms from an unknown.
I read the sms. Heng.... My another friend changed hp no tell me...

Must every1 frighten me today...

After class, i rush to talk Express 518 to Tampines to help pack up. Wat to do? Fajar performance ended, so go Tampines lor.

Luckily there was a blackout somewhere during the second half of the show. Even Lao Tian Ye also want me to watch a bit. Else i really go there pack...

EPL
I received sms from friends who watch soccer.
Chelsea beat Man U and claim the title. Sian!!! To make things worse, i went to the TV once we reached the supper coffeeshop. Liverpool beat West Ham.

This means Man U and Liverpool will fight for the 2nd and 3rd placing... THere is a difference leh. Not juz the money award but also an automatic qualification for next season's Champion Leauge spot. 3rd place will play a playoff.

So wat has it to do with my topic. I Man U supporter mah. Of cos frightening lah. If Liverpool lose, at least its a relieve...

Anyway, Birmingham, WBA and Sunderland were relegated from EPL.
Reading, Sheffield Utd will take their place. There is 1 more playoff place.

Rally

I wanted to go Aljunied to listen to Rally but it started to rain so i head for Suntec instead. I always hang out there 1...

When i got home, time for news. I found that the Opposition's Rally is actually better than the ruling party's.

Er... more ba gua n more relaxing.

1 of the opposition candidate saying
"PM Lee saying that Spore had the 1st class government. If we work back using this theory, SM Goh's is 2nd class cos he is a generation senior. MM Lee's govt will be the 3rd class."

I was listening and was thinking if i m suppose to laugh or angry. To me, all 3 prime ministers had done a wonderful job in building Spore.

Anyway, its juz for laugh. This is my own translation. I will try to copy to original translate when the newspapers for 2morrow is out.

Screening

NKF came to my office to offer us free screening. My colleague was so excited that he keep dragging me alone.

My point of view is: Is the check necessary? I meant surely i know my diet right...

Anyway, i dont have much things to clear today so i juz went alone.
Abt 1/2 hr later, i came out of the room.
I gained 4 kg since Dec 2002 and shrunk 1cm based on my last reading during NS.
Its a bad result... I tot i would retain the same weight and height but in the end... sigh...

They took my blood for sugar test or some other tests. I was thinking...
Since blood test can test if the parenthood of a child, can it test who ur future spouse is?

I like to see the blood pressure meter. The assistant took my first measure and asked me to take another 1. First reading was 123:60, the second was 123: 54. Ha! it dropped... But i expecting it to increase a bit more.

I forgot to conclude... I am FAT! Exceed BMI liao...

Boss: As son-in-law, u no need to work much leh
Me: I calculated that i got a Bull's life, meaning i need to work very hard for my wife n myself

bad mood

Aiya... I blog such cute long forgotten bears yet no1 comment... Sian...

In office, i kana scolded by client for not submitting their IR8A and troubling them to personally go down IRAS to submit. Not my fault mah! I send them a draft copy, they dont reply.

Then i call another client for payment. Kana scolded again... "Y u keep chasing everyweek?"
Hey! Not my fault leh. Boss want me to call, i have to call right?

Then i got reminder from ns hq reminding me to be on standby. ( i dont like to receive sms from them. hahaa)

Before i left for lunch, i checked on SGX for my shares. KNS! STI dropped 20 points! My fortune is with a blue chip which is linked to STI index. I know for sure... I making paper loss today. Luckily, STI concluded at -8point at 5pm. Anyway i expecting profit-taking this week. But dont know y, i juz dont like to take profits. Maybe its due to the brokeage commission. Anyway paper loss of almost $ 200.

In the afternoon, i try to be funny and disturb Miko. In the end, i 'offended' her. Sian... Who ask me not to be tactical. Ha ha... this is my fault. I tend to always offend ppl unwittingly... Maybe that y my friends not so many.

After today's rehearsal, i got no mood to eat supper so i tried finding some ppl to go out . But dont know y they so siao-on today... I sms 3 persons whom dont go home so early. But 2 went home liao. The other pak tor-ing. Not their fault also cos i no make appointment.

Maths

Today Xin en, our 11 yr old xiao mei nv, requested for help in Maths question. It was a 5 mark question.
I think she asked teacher Ms Tan (Zhenxuan) first, then the rest joined in.
For this question, we had an accountant-to-be (Yanhong), an auditor-to-be (me lah) and secretary (May) joining the fun.

The question:
Ali had 50% more than Ben, Ben had 20% more than Charlie.
Ali gave Ben and Charlie $350
Ben gave Charlie $400
Final ration of A, B and C was 1:1:3

Find how much Ali gave Ben.

It took us almost an hour to solve it.
Initially we all tot there is a problem with the question.
Accountant solved the question and present the answer to the floor.
Auditor approved the solution and Secretary re-publish the answer for Xin en to bring home to copy.
Then our Ms Tan, after the presentation, came running to us trying to solve e problem. I think she was having her scene during that time.

I hoping to open an audit firm if i managed to get my license. Anyway that how an audit firm works.
but normally the auditor will question the accountant and publish their own report and the secretary will do the minutes for agm.

Ying Zheng

I rushed home from COI to watch this show. It turned out to be lousy cos its in english. Well, i expected it to be in english. but at least the re-enactment in chinese lah. So i decided to do my own research on him.

Zheng was born in Handan (邯鄲), the capital of the enemy Zhao.
He was the son of Zichu (子楚), a prince of the royal house of Qin who served as a hostage in the State of Zhao under an agreement between the states of Qin and Zhao. Zichu later returned to Qin after many adventures and with the help of a rich merchant called Lü Buwei, and he managed to ascend the throne of Qin, Lü Buwei becoming Prime Minister of Qin.

According to a widespread story, Zheng was not the actual son of Zichu, but the son of the Lü Buwei. This tale arose because Zheng's mother had originally been a concubine of Lü Buwei before he gave her to his good friend Zichu shortly before Zheng's birth.

Zheng ascended the throne at the age of 12 and a half, and was king under a regent until 21 whereby he staged a palace coup and assumed full power. He continued the tradition of tenaciously attacking and defeating the feudal states (dodging a celebrated assassination attempt by Jing Ke while doing so) and finally took control of the whole of China by defeating Qi.

There is a proverb or something regarding this assassination right? Can some1 remind me wat is it?

Anyway Lü Buwei resigned after Qin Shi Huang mistrusted him. Li Si took over. It is Li Si who changed the imperial edict for succession. Another well known figure during this part of history is Han Fei Zi.

Qin Shi Huang's three great achievements are unifying Chinese character, unifying money, and unifying measurement units.
Some of his projects: The Great Wall was built to defend his empire against the Xiongnu in the north, a lavish tomb, Terracotta Army (兵馬俑) was created, and canals and bridges were also built.

He is also the one who proclaim Emperor and was addressed as Wan Sui or Thousands Years, as he wanted his empire to be of Thousands Years.
He called himself Qin Shi Huang. His successors are to be Qin Er Shi, Qin San Shi, etc. But it ended within 50 years.
Hm... juz remembered a phrase "Chen You Liang conquer the world, Emperor Hong Wu sit."
Looks like it apply for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang also.

He also did a lot of things hated by the world and some of his silly things included: Burning of books, finding immortal pills ( He told he is Hou Yi...).

Another famous incident after his death is the burning of A-Fang Palace.

I wanted to go China sooner or later...

Li Ao

This is a very interesting guy, some ppl call bo liao.

He called Singaporean 笨 and received a lot of comments from Sporeans.
台湾人还是比较好的,虽然混蛋、但是可爱。香港人比较坏,新加坡人比较笨,大陆人比较不可测。

Then he said Singaporean “种”不好. Resulting an another uproar.

He was told to comment about MM Lee, President Chen of tw, KMT chairman Mr Ma and China Chairman Mr Hu. This is his next comment.

要用笨这个字呢,陈水扁是不够标准的。他比笨还更低一层,我说他混!

马英九是个花瓶长大的人。他是个漂亮的陈水扁,他们的无能,跟日本人一样。但他是个好人,漂亮的陈水扁,如此而已。马英九,就好比我们中国有句古话,苏东坡的一句诗:“但愿吾儿愚且鲁,无灾无难到公卿。”我希望我的儿子是个笨蛋,因为他可以没有灾难度过大关。
  
四人当中,当然李光耀是最优秀的!这不是我说的,大家都这么认为。排名的话他当然最好!你要想想他当年怎么打天下的?怎么带领新加坡这样子爬起来的?这一点,这个过程,不一样!
I agreed with Mr Li on this point. MM Li was our founder father and had a hard time building the country til early 1990. Of these 30+ yrs, he had built up not only the country but also its reputation

胡锦涛当然也优秀,但他是在一个安定的状态下进入体制里,在体制里表现得非常好,才爬起来的。胡锦涛就跟第一代共产党不一样了嘛,那一代打天下,这个是守天下的,两种不一样的人。李光耀就了不起,又打天下又守天下,两个层次啊!
I would not say Mr Hu is not good but maybe his timing is not as good as MM Li.

But regardless of wat, 打天下 is easy, to 守天下is more difficult...

Finance

Today dont know wat to blog. So blog a bit on finance which will affect us.

OIL

The rise of cruel oil is something which everyone should be concern of.
For drivers, this will affect your petrol expense
For non drivers, your bus and mrt pricing.
The Public Transport Council had postponed the review of transport cost til around August. As such, we will not need to worry about the increase of transport charges temporary.

But there is something which will affect us all... Electricity... Like it or not. It will affect.
Previously Kartina and terrorism in Middle East rose oil price up to about US$60 /barrel.
The rise of India and China put the price at US$65 - 70

Now, the price of Iran's nuclear ambitions and declining U.S. gasoline stocks keep the price at US$74.25 as at blog time.

This means i expecting a rise on our next utility review bill which is abt June.

GOLD

I know... ppl like gold... Anyway gold is something which ppl like to invest on. But they buy to keep. Of cos, there are ppl who buy from jewellery shop. But i now talking abt gold bar.

I had no idea what went wrong with gold but price went up from US$600 to the current US$631 as at blog time within a short period. Well... Its confirmed that Chinese buy gold during CNY. But its over liao...

I went to jewellery shop juz now. Pure Gold selling at $38

US$

The US$ had been dripping for quite something. Remember the days whereby it was US$1 = S$1.74 abt 2 yrs ago...

Today it dropped to $1.5949. US had issued too much bonds, resulting deficit. I told someone that i quitting shares and interested in currencies. I aiming at the dollar. In accordance to an advisor from XXX, she said "If u wanna buy currency, buy from money changer and hold in hand. Cos bank charges u once there is withdrawal." She added that currency is not easy to play with and is slow.

I still considering the venture... But i still like shares, juz that there is no good shares to play with now...

Diamond

Diamond is woman's best friend. So dont anyhow write... Else my brainless brain will offend ppl again. hahaa

Election and rehearsal

Must put 2 topic else kana complain...

At around 3+pm, Richard sent sms to most of COI telling them Polling Day on 6 May.
I only got to know of this when miko msn me at around 4.

After rehearsal, i went back with tian's car. i think teacher wanted to talked to me in the other car. Anyway, that's how i know richard sent those sms... Then Tian saying she was puzzled by the sms. Cos she dont know wat it means.

So I introducing a few new words...

Nomination Day is the day when those interested to join, they must submit their names. So that Election Dept (ED) can print their names on the paper.
A payment of deposit (a sum equal to 8% of the total allowances payable to MPs in the preceding year, rounded to the nearest $500) is to be placed. For this yr, the deposit is $13,500

Returning Officer is the chief in-charge of the entire poll. He will declare who is the winner.

Polling Day is Election Day, which is Public Holiday. Since 1991, all polling day had fell on Saturday. Dont say i dont tell u.

Told some of u that i be writing script for election right. Here it is...

《刘伞调》
大选想被给人选 (keng)
选区在想去文庆
拿回定金我算兴
还是在家看叶青

Topic 2:Rehearsal

Wanxin, who was playing as a servant was late. So they asked me to stand in for a while. I happily took position with script.
First few scenes is still ok. Cos no lines mah...

Then the scene came whereby lines came...
When i opened mouth, the entire room laughed!
Then i was so pai seh and kneeled down, then i joined in the laughter, cos its funny mah... Too bad i dont recorded in my mp3 else play for u all to hear.
Then i saw teacher fell back of her chair. Think like i am another zhenqin...

Then i continued the song.
Not bad leh... I became topic again.
Tian said i got an ang moh tone, which i found it weird. Cos i dont speak english.
On my way home, zhenqin started his singing again.. sing so loud and deafening...
They wanted me to learn another song from another show.
I purposely sing it softly. Then Tian and I combine suan ZQ for having a loud deafening voice in the car.
I told him to sing loud only when in open area. Then guess wat he did....

He opened the car window and to sing loud. OMG!!!

Shi Hui Jun



No fun 1...
Every1 know wat i watching...
Anyway, I wished to comment on 1 of the actress of the show, Shi Hui Jun (SHJ). Well... I believe she is ranked one of my favorite in Ye Qing's side.
I think she was quite cute, able to act out cuteness of a little girl found in Kong Ming 3 Qi ZhouYu.
In this show, she was acting as a maid.
I think she did quite a good job.
Remember, i was talking abt the MAID thing last time? Wow... I think e audience will like QiuYue if she used a bit of her action but QY need to be more 38 unlike SHJ who is more gentle.

I was a bit shocked when i saw amai's blog. She also put up 1 of shj clip today. Hm... great minds think alike... but more shocked when amai said she was in her 40s... I tot she was only in 20s.... Suah Ku...

Hey! Dont look at me this way... I am not going to walk like her (at the end of the clip) if i am a maid... hm... maybe can consider hahaa... Maybe ask Richard to add a bit of the shake head, shake backside to his "Yi Ah Hway"...

Hopefully i can be like Chen Huai Ming... not aiming at a lead role but at least have some of his skills...

Go sleep liao... bye...

COI


well... we went to a birthday party today. but i wont blog it. cos mine will got no pic. Leave it for yy n yh to blog.

Juz to touch a bit... We took Richard's lorry home at 10pm. Then suddenly, Tian and I felt stupid... After we sent Miko home, we looked at each other. It was 11pm, how come we did not ask Richard to put us at Pasir Ris Mrt. He took us 1 hr in circle and we only land up somewhere in Aljunied GRC... (Election coming... must use election terms. hehee)
Then by 11.20pm, we dropped teacher in East Coast GRC. If we took train from PR MRT, we should reached home liao... Stupid right...

Anyway back to COI before every1 complains... I will not blog on how the institute runs cos its the management who runs it.

Juz to teach you all a bit of finances. I looked at their last yr financial report (FY 04).

Not much changes in their income, thus their members looks having the same number of students.

In expenses, not much difference except for salaries and transport expenses. resulting a loss of $30,000.

Due to the loss, the balance sheet having a difference in bank account. Dian Dao Wei Zhi.

Xj wishes to see an article from COI regarding my previous comment. So i scanned it out for her.

I was surprised also when i read it. We are interested in 1 guy, Mr Liew Mun Leong, Chairman Board of Directors COI, (the article spelt his name wrongly...)

SL sales

Dont like tat leh.. Siang Ling sales lah.. Not John Little sales

Went to SL for their sales this afternoon. I went there for preview quite a few times liao.
Things tat interested me:
A red color Pi Feng - wanted to wear that in my super cold office. Crazy guy...
A red color Mang - keep for wedding. Haha... Special mah... Keep seeing grooms in tuxedo, not sian meh?
The big crown for prince - Tian wore the big crown, look weird. The small 1 fit her more.
the Mang must got something to go on the head mah.
Imperial crown, as shown in miko's blog. - put at home for fun. haha

But decided not to buy them.
1) Price - i dont have so much money to buy
2) Place - no place to put at home. Mom will say i buy trash. Once i got my own house, i then buy provided SL got sales again
3) Usability - They will be hanging at home lor. Not of use. Anyway house theme not suit.

So i juz buy a shoe.

A black high heel shoe. Now i think i am about 1.75m with tat shoe...
That heel is abt 2-3cm high...
I think they call it Yun Tou Shoe.

Anyway i got problem walking with it. Cos sometimes i tend to lean forword when i walked. But i forgot that front part of the heel does not have support. Then i fell. Luckily i balance well...

Hopefully i no need to run with it. Haha

Dont look at me leh... my hp infra spoilt, thus cant send to blog.

Anyway i think i got a good bargain price for it.
Richard saying Yun Tou cost abt $60+ in China. But Tian and Richard reaction a bit funny... They looked quite puzzled when i told them i intend to buy the shoe.
Wonder y...

Then dont know wat happen, teacher suddenly say "Ki Up" but she pointing Up and Down.

When we abt to leave,
Liqin: Good night
Some1 explain good night is good night in hokkien.
But the explanation became Good Sleep. cos there sleep signal was shown for night...

T: Ok, See You Tomorrow
Then i ask... Tomorrow got rehearsal meh

Dont understand never mind... juz let me laugh by myself.

Then every1 know zq was sleepy. So every1 ask him to go home sleep. Then Tian asking me to go home with zq first as she wanted to stay longer... I presume got fight among them again.
Then zq ask me to go home first and blame me for putting my things in his car when i wanted to go home. Obviously, he is likely to drive me home after supper right... so i put my things in the car lor...

I asked him to give me his keys, i go get myself. He walked me up. I opened the passenger door to get my bag, abt to go off. Then he took the driver seat.

He asked "where u want me to drive u to"
Me: Home or outside.

Book 3

A few more poems before i reveal the book title

Where to seek fairy maid
who stood before my eyes?
Wavering shade
as cloud-veiled moonlight
Aimlessly I pace;
silently i ponder
and already evening sun goes down.
A sunlit cloud descended from the heavens
sculptured grace, flower-like smile:
whose brush protrayed this liveing presence?
Surely she gazed at me with love unspoken.
一片红云下太清,如花巧笑玉娉婷。凭谁画出生香面?对俺偏含不语情
落韦与孤鹜齐飞,秋水共长天一色

Duke Wen of Jin begged for food and was scorned
but the wife of Xi Fuji honored him;
Wu Zixu of Chu begged for food and was scorned
but a girl washing silk was loyal to him
Before their pointed phoenix shoes
I knock my head on the ground 3000 times
垂钓楚天涯,瘦王孙,遇漂纱。楚重瞳较比这秋波瞎。太史公表他,淮安府祭他,甫能够一饭千金价。看古来妇女多有俏眼儿:文公乞食,僖妻礼他;昭关乞食,相逢浣纱。凤尖头叩首三千下

This bloom of springtime no eye has seen.
What if my beauty should amaze the birds
and out of shame for the comparison
"cause fish to sink, wild geese to fall to eath,
petals to close, the moon to fide her face"
while all the flowers tremble.
恰三春好处无人见. 不提防沉鱼落雁乌惊喧,则怕的羞化闭月花愁颤.


However close the likeness
viewed from near at hand,
from fatrther off one would say
this was some airborne sprite
Union in some year to come
with the courtier of the moon
with be beneath the branches
either of Wall City or Germany
近者分明似俨然,远观自在若飞仙。他年得傍蟾宫客,不在郭边在德边

Wat?! I wrote wrongly? Got meh...

Ok ok...

Either of Willow or Apricot
不在梅边在柳边

Now u know what book i reading...
I reading the English ver... Then i need to find the Chinese ver. Very hard leh...

there is a war in Huai An and this is the conversation between 2 guards.

Guard1: Let's surrender
Guard2: Weakling
1: Then let's retreat
2: Not many will survive
1: I dont mind dying but i fear for my wife's life if the enemy attacks
2: I will take care of her and return her to u with a son if the enemy dont attack.
1: If they really attack?
2: I will present ur wife to the enemy to secure my life

A bit lame but i was smiling my way when i read this.

library book

Went library after work as i cant find anyone in town / those working in town, to go shopping with.
I took a book home to read and saw quite a few nice paragraphs. heheee... Ya its in English ver, but if u can translate u will know which book i reading. I will reveal the book title after i read finish.

The first poem i was
"GuanGuan cry the ospreys
on the islet in the river
So delicate the virtuous maiden,
a fit mate for our Prince."

This poem was my favourite from 诗经
关关雎鸠,在河之洲。窈窕淑女,君子好逑。
参差荇菜,左右流之。窈窕淑女,寤寐求之。
求之不得,寤寐思服。悠哉悠哉,辗转反侧。
参差荇菜,左右采之。窈窕淑女,琴瑟友之。
参差荇菜,左右芼之。窈窕淑女,钟鼓乐之。
This poem is applied for those gals with many suitors. Dont look at me. i wont chase such gals 1... They got too many choices liao. N i likely to be those queueing in Jurong if she lived in Ponggol...

There is another poem which i like also. Its called 采葛 but not featured in this story.
彼采葛兮,一日不见,如三月兮!
彼采萧兮,一日不见,如三秋兮!
彼采艾兮!一日不见,如三岁兮!
Dedicate this poem to the gal i like. Provided she got read my blog and know it's her. hahaa

Y i like these 2 poems. Cos its the only poem tat i understand (n i keep telling ppl i read 4 Shu 5 Jing...) hahaa

The second poem is unable to disclose cos its very obvious which book i read. :P

The 3rd poem:
Pleasure yields to pain:
Pleasure in the bright vision
elegantly demure
as faery pendants sway;
pain to predict, as the years deepen
the fading of tint from eye and lip
of this Ah Jiao, locked up in golden chamber.
Vain labor
when to no lover's eye this lovely image
unrolled will bring a tear,
when there is non to call
the living Zhenzhen from the painted scroll.

AC: dont ask me which Diao is this. Cos i dont know how to translate to Chinese.
But the writer projected it quite well

This 4th poem is written when one of the characters fell ill
Fever deepens,
so frail yet failing still,
and still no answer
to the riddle thath torments
Returned from dream to watch
swallows beffeted by the breeze
that tosses rustling blinds
of bamboo flecked with tears.
How long since spring departs,
how long since spring departs
that beauty should fade so fast?
Dry paulownia leaves beside the well
scrape on my heart.

Based on "how long since spring departs", it tells that she had been sick for quite some time...

Saluting Chief Justice Yong

Singapore Chief Justice Yong Pung How retired today after more than 15 years in the CJ.
Current Attorney-General Chan Sek Keong will succeed him from April 11 for a period of three years.

Chief Justice Yong was awarded the Order of Temasek, First Class - a rare honour only given to a handful of esteemed Singaporeans.

Chief Justice Yong was known for a number of landmark decisions, including one pertaining to the Official Secrets Act and another defining clearly what corruption is under the law.

He was also known for his stiff sentences. My friends alway said "if you know that CJ is in charge of your case, drop it. Else standby to get twice the penalty"

Wishing him enjoyable retirement

Gambling

i found this somewhere... enjoy it while reading

I dont know when i picked this bad habit but i know it started during my poly days. For a certain period, everyweek at least $50-$100 will be pumped in. Dont ask where i get my money. Cos i was not working and had no other income except allowances. But i know i will make a loss every yr.

Maybe tat time, EPL was a hot topic and every students are chasing it.
I knew tat some of the guys in my class, received complains from their gf tat they spending too much n want to control their finances. Although, part of their income were given to their gf for safe keeping. But there was no1 controlling me. Hahaa... So die die... i can spend.

Maybe that's y i long for a gf during tat time. But during NS, i reduced this habit to abt $30/week. Dont look at me lah... Still making losses...
The only time whereby it hit record high of $200/ wk is during World Cup 2002 in Seoul / Tokoyo.

i know my colleauge bet and everytime i call him crazy cos he will buy total goals with high odds. Eg. 6-0 in Spore League and 4-1 in EPL. Hey... the return was abt 7times...

When i started working, an entertainment account is opened. Whereby abt $200 is set aside for entertainment purpose. This includes gambling, COI, NPCC, Sec Sch Alumni and other hobbies.

I always tell everyone, if u wana go out, let me know. But no1 jio me 1 leh... So... Anything extra will goes to Spore Pools.

Regarding my camera... It belongs to fixed asset account. haahaa...

Maybe i might chase only 1 of u to be my gf and this 'entertainment' account will become my gf-expenses account. Hahaa...

O dear... someone read til bored liao... better stop talking abt accountings...

Anyway, in life, everything is a gamble.
Kongming and Zhouyu joint defended Chipi. Kongming gambled tat Southeast wind is blown.
Gals gambled tat the guy they chosen is their prince-charming.
Guys gambled tat the gal they chosen will no reject them.
Hm... Guys also gamble on soccer to earn mor

Lame Joke of the month

Today we got full show rehearsal. Siong! I finally watch the show with little NG. We got 2 runs.
Still suck thumb at not able to join the 'fun'.
Learnt something special... How to roll a boat... Teacher tongbang teach us tat as Miko's mom still not sure.
I came out with a crap joke today during break (after the first run).
I told Ah Tian: That we are having a breakfast. She was puzzled... Xin en, our 11 yr old girl girl also gave me a ?? face.
Then i said: This is a fast break, so its call BreakFast. Then we had a little laugh. Lame... I know...

I had to apologise to u all for something... I am a very poor person... No money to buy camera. So pls Duo Duo Bao Han... I trying to save $ for my tw trip first and maybe a cruise. My expenses in July is normally quite high due to my insurance. I opt to pay by yearly basis. I know many of u paid by monthly basis. But its cheaper to pay yearly.
Once i had made sufficient provision, i will buy a camera so that u all will not be bored.

I forgot to say something for my DnD.
We are required to sing sch song... Then i noted that there is a word 'revised' on the music credit. I was wondering wat they changed.
Surprisingly, i still can remember the first paragraph of the song although i dont sing or hear the song for 10 yrs...

Then after the song, we, the old birds, complaint... The new music sucks...

DnD

I juz came back from my sec sch DnD.
Well... its none of my business anyway... But as alumini com member, i got no choice. Must entertain ppl mah...

Anyway, i was happy to see my x-principal. He left with us, to be promoted to dont know wat rank in MOE. Some of my teachers were back there.

I spoke to the current assistant head prefect. She sounded interested to join alumini which is good. Then she said she cant speak chinese.

So today is my 2 queries points which i would like to c ur view.

1) Current students believe that English is the right media of business... But we know that for small business and with older generation, chinese/ hokkien is preferred.

2) Does Chinese perfer buffet or course dinner?
My friend said buffet, cos can eat alot.
But i believe tat Chinese perfer Quality than Quantity. Thus we eat little in course dinner but many course... Hm... Maybe tat y there is a meal call Man Han Quan Xi

Was having lunch juz now and tot of blogging abt this.
Years ago, there are secret society gangs but they also 'commericalise' liao... From fighting, now 'upgraded' to illegal gambling.
These few yrs there is this now gang of ppl called the Tissue Paper Gang.

Qing Ming : A festival to hold memorial ceremony for the dead. It is a time to express one's grief for his lost relatives.

People often go to sweep and weed graves with whole family and take a walk in the countryside. Of course this does not apply to Spore. Who wanna walk along Lim Chu Kang? The road so long.

During the Period of Spring and Autumn in the Jin Kingdom, one of the King's sons was called Chong Er. Jealous of his talent, a concubine falsely accused him of rebellion to make her son the crown prince. He had no choice but to flee and with him were some officials. They hid themselves in a mountain and went hungry for quite some time. An official named Jie Zitui took great pain to cut some flesh from his thigh and cooked it for Chong Er.

When the fact was known the young master was moved to tears and knelt down in gratitude. And Jie replied his best repayment should be a just king. They lived a life of hunger and cold for three years until the evil concubine died. Many soldiers were sent to look for him and to escort him back home. Going into the carriage, he saw an official packed an old mat onto a horse, he said laughingly, 'What on earth is the use of that? Throw it away!' Jie Zitui heard it and sighed, 'It is hardship that can be shared with His Majesty but not prosperity.' So he went away quietly and lived in seclusion with his old mother.

《途 中 寒 食》(唐)宋 之 问:
马上逢寒食,途中属暮春。可怜江浦望,不见洛桥人。
北极怀明主,南溟作逐臣。故园肠断处,日夜柳条新。

As Chong Er became king, he rewarded many people but he forgot Jie Zitui. He did not realize it until was reminded. However his invitation was refused and he flared up. Soldiers were ordered to burn up the mountain to force Jie to come out. Finally they found Jie and his mother scorched under a willow. He would rather die than yield to the power. Chong Er was so overwhelmed with regret that he ordered people hold memorial ceremony for Jie. So every year on that day folks mourned for him and the day before ate cold meals, which avoided making fire. Later the custom of inserting willow branches on gates was also added.

清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂。

借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村。----(唐)杜 牧

No need to intro this poem right...

民间广为流传的孟姜女寻夫小曲:

"三月里来是清明,桃红柳绿百草青;别家坟上飘白纸,我家坟上冷清清。"

From what i understand, people will commonly go to sweep tomb 10 days before and after Qing Ming actual day. However, due to no holiday and busy weekend. This traditional was changed to 2 weekends before and after Qing Ming

《寒 食》(唐)韩 翃:

春城无处不飞花,寒食东风御柳斜。

日暮汉宫传蜡烛,轻烟散入五侯家.

Anyway, these few weeks are the only time whereby u will see police or Cisco at Lim Chu Kang.

Due to the festival... i enclose pic of some "ghosts"... heheee.

I was counting the "ghosts"... Think that there is 1 missing somewhere...

WHAT!!! Become real ghost !!!!

Dont frighten me leh... Qing Ming leh... 7th month coming also leh..

Opera day

Today is Opera day.
As usual, i was listening to Qian Nv You Hun trying to hit the right key.

I was in office after lunch alone. Bosses went for appointments and there is no1 in the office... Very ghostly...
So i plug my mp3 to my pc n listen to the songs tat i had. I replayed Qian Nv first b4 i started other songs.

* Gosh... Boss gave me an account to do. Its a yearly account which David, the kana sacked guy, created a mess. N boss said i audit too good liao... so wanna c my accounts skill.
Boy! I never do accounts 1 leh... except for those in excel form...
I wanted to do that set of accounts in excel but too big... *

Then i was on ktv mode again with Qian Nv. Who ask no1 in office...
After work, i was on ears again. But trying to find the tunes for Tang Bohu and sing my way to COI. So dont b surprise to sing 1 crazy fellow singing on the street. N dont bother to call police cos that guy not doing street performance...

Bad day for my shares... All fell on profit taking.

Feng Shui - Land of Breeding Corpse

I was reading WanBao last night abt 12+am.
I went to bed but keep flipping up n down. Then i went to look at the papers which mom juz brought back...
Nothing interest me til i flip the last page. Headline is something like: Coffin Opened After 12 Yrs, Corpse still well preserved.

In science, there is no such thing. So i prefer to believe in fengshui. hahaa. That's y i got C6 for Sci.

The corpse is described to be 'as if its a living person'. The corpse survived on sun and moon light. 日月净化。 It is said that the corpse could become a walking corpse if it is left in this coffin for a much longer time.
In Fengshui, this piece of land is called the Land of Breeding Corpse.
Dont think this land is a good land. To me, i felt that this land will bring bad luck to descendant.
Fortunes will b lost if ancestors r buried in such places.

I copied this from internet.

风水阴宅讲求的是“穴气“,就是穴的地气;如果屍首下葬的墓地是凶地 如“养屍地“阴煞地“养蚁地“’养蛊地“等.
尤其是“养屍地“,屍变之机会 可说是百分之百. “养屍地“在风水中是最恐怖,危险的墓地;屍体只要埋入养屍地,由於 土质酸碱...

I will b blogging something abt Qing Ming on Wed. But Wed may b late as i may go for a wake.

Teo Chew opera 2

ok lah...
There are 3 stories...

1) Toad's adventure- 2 toads wanted to give some treasure but was robbed.

2) Cinderella - No need to summerize. Read Fairy tale.
But the funny part is that the shoe was dropped at backstage and e fairy god mother bring the prince to Cinderella's house...

3) Mouse Marriage- Little mouse wanna marry some1 with power. So Storm god applied for the groom. Wind blew off Storm. Wall stopped Wind. Grey mouse threaten to dig a hole in Wall. Cat came to apply also. In the end, Cat application is approved. On the day of the marriage,
Cat said "I am hungry".
Little Mouse "I made some wedding cakes"
Cat " Dont u know tat cat eat mouse?"
Then little mouse died.

Morale of the story: Marry ppl of the same race n type. Heehee

End of the show, the gang told me that the Cat was actually Professor Chua (director COI). No wonder he disappeared after his so many speeches...
I think tat show 2 and 3 are much better than the first show n there are many angmoh watching...

I being trying to look for a song call "桃花过渡". Any1 with e song?

Went to grandfather's temple, juz now. Granddad moved 'house' from CCK for abt 5 yrs liao. But i still perfer going to cemetary cos it looks more Qin Qie...
In this new 'house', we are unable to c him directly when we offer offerings n had to climb staircases...
My grandmom had booked a room in this 'block' also. Juz next door of my granddad.
A good news is: I am no longer the topic of the day liao.
A cousin is going into ITE. She is e new 'target'. I think the family had given up on me liao. hahaa

Teo Chew opera

On request of Professor Chua of COI, after rehearsal, most of us when with teacher to watch some opera shows.
To me, it doesnt look like 1... Maybe its because its in secment form. But immaterial.

There are a few stories. Before the start of the show, Pro Chua and another fellow start talking non stop. Cow! we buy ticket to watch show lah not attending seminar...
From 8pm, they talked til 8.30pm... I cant believe it!

Finally the gongs start...
Fast forward this part...

I also like Huang Xianglian and Yang Lihua's shows. er... opera scene only got these few right? haaha

The players came out and apologised. She still holding her leg...
I walked off after tat... Wondering if i am hit by a ball in 50 yrs time... will i pick up and play the ball or sit there calling ambulance..
