Being the last day of 2005.. I feel that i should round it up well & haf some reflections.

Todae seem so peaceful & quiet. Carz on e street seems lesser too, was it my illusions or mani would stay indoor till nite for e long awaited count down ?

I switched on tv n watch channel News Asia. It was on a documentary on the Orphans caused by the cruel tsunami last dec 26.

Bad stuff usualli comes in e end of e yr ?? bt at least to me, it is.

I was pretty affected aft watchin the documentary. Glad tt e kids had left their individual lonely homes which most were used to be noisy n squeezy bt warmth. Now probably to them is too big for one to stay alone, facing e 4 walls n nothin else. The scene which they haf lost their kins is still so vivid in their mind that as if it jus happens yesterday.

Glad tt the authorities had done their part lendin a helpin hand to dis poor young kids. A religious school was built in thai n this was used to home the orphans(of the tsunami), children was asked to move in as their will be education, food ,accomodation & pocket money provided. Mani did & glad to c most seem to haf recovered.Probably thats y pple say, kids forget tingz pretty fast. Bt i guess for dem, is not mere forgotten bt, they choose to store it @ e bottom of their heart & choose to brace up & relive for their love ones.

Mani said it was their religious, chanting. Gave them the meaning of live. Reminds mi of wad my mum ever told mi, regardless whether u r a christian, buddhist, taoist, hindu or muslim. People wif religion are mostly the ones who cant be so bad, ruthless aftall coz religious teaches one to be good.

The kids were able to draw a pic before & after Tsunami hit ARCHAE. & was even able to narrate e story wif a smile.. makes mi irresitably one to salute the little brave kids. If i were them , i doubt i could haf gave up on my life.

Well, guess those kids indeed touched my heart & made me learnt tt one shld brace up & move on no matter wad they mit on their way since they were given a chance to live on unlike those who haf been swept away by the merciless water.

Tis reminded mi of offerin help at a sri lanka burmist temple at upper serangoon to pack the donations into cartons to be spent over. I could stil rem the joy when all sporeans, mostly students, spend their weekends there packin, carryin, passing down the donations down in a toot toot train manner, to speed up the rate. It was pretty tiring bt a sense of accomplishement to be able to do somethin for the victims. Still remember the heartless rain that drenched the cartons & donations. Mani volunteers insited to keep the process goin under e rain.. .. indeed love is all around the world.

I researched on some stories & reports on tsunami to share wif u guys.. Its reli saddening..



A young Tamil boy stops crying after aid workers serve him lunch at a makeshift refugee camp January 4 in the village of Palai in northeastern Sri Lanka.

The Asian tsunami disaster has been particularly devastating for children, who faced the most danger from the rushing waves and are vulnerable to disease.




A boy named Chandrakumar grieves as he watches the cremation of his sister Sangita’s body on January 1. The fishermen’s colony where their family lived, Nagappattinam, is in the hard-hit southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu



In this photo released by the Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam, injured tsunami victims sit outside a school in the Tamil Tiger-controlled town of Mulathive in Sri Lanka on December 27.

The entire city was in chaos bt miracles do happen!



Annal Mary kisses her 20-day-old baby, Suppiah Tulasi, who survived the tsunamis on Penang resort island in northwestern Malaysia. When the waves hit, Tulasi’s parents were flushed out of their beachside restaurant. Tulasi, who had been napping when the disaster struck, was found hours later floating on a mattress inside the restaurant.
*guess dis kid is well guarded by god, blessed baby!*

Another miracle ..



This tiny baby boy was due on January 15th but his mother went into premature labor hours after fleeing her coastal home on India's Hut Bay island.

Namita Roy gave birth on a jungle hilltop surrounded by her husband and 700 survivors.

Fearful of aftershocks, the family ate bananas and drank coconut water for days before seeking medical attention.

As for the baby's name? He'll be called "Tsunami."

I noe tis entry is reli long bt i tink is somethin i tink is worth posting.. Below is wad was behind the scenes..

*abstract version*

By reporter (Stand Grant):

...I was only here for about an hour or so when the full enormity of this story hit me.

We become a bit numb really to the big picture, the big images. We see the endless rows of bodies lying down on the ground and the hundreds of thousands of casualties. It affects you, but somehow it looks remote. It looks distant.

We were traveling with a group of Tamil Tigers, who were collecting the bodies of the dead from one area that had been devastated. And we came across a group of bodies in the distance.

From where I stood, I could see that they were children. No more than babies really, aged maybe between 1 to 3. From a distance, it just really didn't look real. They looked almost like mannequins or dolls.

But as we got closer, I saw their arms were locked around each other. They were hanging on to each other.

Their bodies had been tossed in the torrent ... as it came through. Somehow these three little kids had hung together and died together.

In those moments, you stop being a reporter. The tools of our trade, the objectivity and the distance that we need to be able to do our job effectively in most cases desert you. Being a reporter just doesn't cut it anymore.

I remember standing there, looking, and I couldn't help thinking about my own children. I have three little boys of my own. And I know I look in on them sometimes before they are about to go to bed, and they are often lying there and they have their arms around each other.

Looking at these three little children, with their arms around each other, reminded me so much of my own kids. And I started thinking about the little things that matter.

As I stood there, I actually started to broadcast live. I had a phone into one of the programs and Richard Quest, one of our London anchors, was on the other end of the line. As I was speaking to him, the bulldozer came through and lifted up those three bodies.

They stacked the wood about a meter or so high and placed these bodies on the funeral pyre. I remember standing there, live on air, describing this scene, trying to do my job as a reporter, which was just futile. I had stopped being a reporter. I was a father. I remember getting to the end of it and just not knowing anymore what to say.

Richard came on and he said [this] is a very solemn moment, there's nothing I can ask you. I hung up the phone and at that moment the fire was lit. It was a funeral service.

That is what I was witnessing. A funeral service. No priest. No mourners. No parents. Just three little babies in this barren landscape lifted up onto a funeral pyre and set alight.

I remember then just thinking a little prayer for them and wanting to be with my own family. I tried to ring my wife a few minutes to hear her voice but she wasn't home.

That image -- how it touched me and how it made [this disaster] seem so more real -- distilled what this story is about for me. Down to its basics.

It's not about the hundreds of thousands of people affected and tens of thousands who have died. It's about individual lives. And it's those individual lives now that have to try to go on, that are going to have to survive. They are going to have to find the little things in life to sustain them.

Below are the horror pics dat was nt shown on tv..



Funeral pyres of people killed by the tsumani burn on the beach at Alappad, in the southern Indian state of Kerala, on Wednesday.



Volunteers load bodies into coffins in preparation for cremation on Tuesday near Takuapa, Thailand.



Soldiers dump bodies from Sunday's tsunami into a mass grave Wednesday in Banda Aceh, Indonesia.



A Thai man on Thursday walks around the outside of a Buddhist temple near Takuapa, where more than 1,000 bodies are laid out.



An injured Acehnese girl, who lost her entire family in the tsunami and is suffering severe memory loss, is being treated at a hospital in Banda Aceh in Indonesia.

The World Health Organization's David Nabarro told CNN that survivors were at risk of diarrhea, respiratory infections and insect-borne diseases that could result in "quite high rates of death," but he quickly added that the living are in more danger from other survivors than from the dead.




A clock stopped at the hour on Sunday that the tsunami struck the town of Banda Aceh in Indonesia.

..... .. its raining & im feelin so solemn.. well , hope god is cryin for those who lost their lives to the merciless water.. Hope tis rain washes all the bad lucks & may 2006 be a better year for all!

Well its new yr... gonna haf new yr resolutions ya ?

Mine will be 1) To treat my grandma better, before i haf ani regrets.
2) World Peace
3) TO be a better person,happy & optimistic
4) Everyone around mi stay happy & healthy

HaPPy 2006 to my dearest readers..

*wei jiang & allan*

Although we are half bucket.... ball flyin all over e place, onto e roof n onto e road bt we do haf pple wif stylish pose.





*kaizhong*

Todae started fresh, in high spirits to try my sec attempt to cure my dark circles. Aft exploring.. finalli decided to try NARDIA. a shop tt i haf nv heard b4. @ $38 for 2 eyes, bt like MTM @$20 for one eye! Although result on right eye nt so visible bt i tink their massage was good cos they cure e pt of e prob, nt onli e surface. Still wonderin which one to choose from betwn e 2.. suggestions?

I accompanied him back to skool for lessons. While i was readin my notes, realised i forgot tt i had a specialist appointment at NUH at 3.40pm. I was in fear of doin blood test again.. n wonder wad would doc sae towards my fainting spells. He skipped lesson n drove me there. thanks! No test done as i decided to pick out all e test reports fm e polyclinics to save $. Or else will cause mi 100 plus to do all overagain.

Nex we had a sudden crave to try jackpot at safra & chos Toa Payoh! Heng ah.. managed to get in dis time!!! wif my new glasses.. (which they call e aunty glasses). Changed ten bucks n dis nice guy of mine say dun wan share.. I lost!! 10 coins on 20 cents per game machine.. Den he tempted mi to try again haa..sickening rite? finali we came to terms to share e investment 1/2 ,1/2. sudenli i rem i was damn suay these daz. so i rubbed his arms n sae.. pass all my bad luck to him ! n true enough i stike within 3 rounds. 20 credits.. next we murmured "big bucks! big bucks" n stike.. oh gosh! we r nt admiring others winning! WE WON! n we were like putting our heads side my side n chantin.. "duo yi dian duo yi dian" (somemore!) when e winnning figures increases!we were like *smile* we decided to try another 3 bucks bt no winnings so.. chao! go change back to notes.. n shocked to receive $37!!!

Hee... wan date him ?


... .... ..... its 2.07am tink my best pals are hafin fun on e coach headin towards Kl. & mummy,daddy,n bro all went Msia. lonely new yr ?

DeCember has always been a joyous month for most but often a month of typhoon to my heart.

In the month of two consecutive december, i lost 2 kins. One is someone who dotes mi, n the other is my closest cousin. One hu guides & leaves words of advice in me.There was a time i told myself one goes a yr, so nxt yr, who wil it be ? Every yr when it comes to december, i cant help bt worry.

Had been busy lookin for e best gift suitable for my love ones. But probably i can never get a "best gift" cos most of them need intangible tings tt i wil neva be able to provide them with.

Sometimes i feel that roti-boy describes me best. Haf a presentable outlook bt is pretty hollow in it. Cos i feel no one can ever walk into chambers of the heart. So wad if u haf mani frenz ? mAN will always be a lonely man.

I wanted to get an internet card for kz bt dint do so cos i wasnt sure abt the model. Decided to subsidise a trip to kuala lumpur for countdown ,settin off on the 30th. Numerous probs came along e way, we wanted to go badli as we haf cancelled a couple of trips previously. Money was an issue, followed by accomodation. My fren haf a suite rm bt had to be shared among 10.Most of them are strangers to us.

Surfin nets for a couple of nites to get a budget n a good location hotel was diff. Mani unhappiness arised silently betwn us. Guess its me.

On christmas eve, was a line of unhappiness that happened. Before i could meet for dinner , mood was dampen. kristmas was jus like ani other dae. Had dinner wif 2 couples made mi felt pretty cold & reductant of dis festive. Perhaps i shld nt haf acted before askin for his acknowledgement on the trip. The coach was booked amounted to $66. Money was an issue. Jus as we haf seem to be able to came to agreement, Somethin bad happens. Kz's grandma had stroke. So sudden tat no cld ever imagine, dayz r numbered. I wish i cld do somethin for u. So dis december isnt on me, bt on my bf.. *shivers*

So wad can we do to the trip ? Guess is pretty obvious. HOwever i wil still prefered him to stay in spore, to be by her side though we wanted to go badli. I haf missed to see both my kin's before they lose their breathe, i dun wan him to carry e same regret as mi, for the rest of e life. Although he may haf other pt of view regardin dis.

This made mi lost sleep. I had a few of blueblack on my knees when i wake up in e morning. I den seem to haf good sleep .I began to haf illusions abt my grandma departin. I know i had been a bad/ unfilial girl . I wan to change, sometimes i reli dun mean wad i protray to u bt mani a times, e stuborness n e brave front jus conquer me. Forgive me,all i nid is to give me some time to make it up.. as i dun wan animore regrets & i dun tink i can take animore of it.

my heart is DRENCHED.. im numb to fate.

dUdes! congrats me! iM now an official lifeguard hur hur hur..!!! :) However, i wasnt pls wif my performance on test dae. Well.. at least is over!! near to a yr of training! to complete lifesaving 1-3 & my BM! Bt seriousli m a little afraid of doin baywatch, i guess i will get v panick when someone drown den to save him/ her even if im equipped wif e skills. Excel in swim has alwaes been my dream esp participatin swim competitions & being a lifeguard. N im half way there now bt my views seems to change oradi.

I went to watch King Kong on wed! cool! brought a small bag to skool! wow! e telling is... "shuang~~" every wed i carry an oversized crumpler bag wif mani sets of swim equip n notes n jacket.. waterbottle.. n gt to wait till 6 for swim. Reach hm 12 n nxt dae 7 wake up!!! hell!! i hate it! finali i endured over.. mani tears n happiness had came in my way due to swim. Bt im glad tt they mould mi into a stronger JOANNA! e movie was nice, which i least expected when i first saw e poster of e movie.. I tot e king kong looked damn ugly & so black! n u tell mi someone will fall in love wif him ? come on! how will tt ever happen ? haaa... Ok now i admire his braveness to go all way out to protect his beloved girl ? hw mani spore guys will do tt u tell mi ? they will probably run for their life? --*shrungs*


Bt now i tink.. he is e real man!

by e way, theres somethin tat i had been pondering abt. If king kong dint die, hu will e girl choose? Will love be enough to substain them thru all e ordeals? Will she nt mind KK's looks & size ? den i begin to think hw will they be able to carry KK's family line ? (u guys can comment on dis , im awaiting to hear ur views)

before e movie we had a lunch @pizza hut though it was oradi 2.50pm when e show is at 3.15! hur hur hur... cos heard fm 93.3 tt.. one can afford to be late for 20 mins of e show coz is damn boring n true enough! we did tt!U guys can haf a wonderful christmas lunching at pizza hut, their lunch sets are gg at $8.95 & for students is onli at $6.95! It includes a pizza or pasta or bake rice of ur choice wif drink n a soup! Super VALUE!! den comes e joke of e day. jUS went we were suppose to tell them hw mani pple dining in , Kz blurt"we want a pizza set &..." e gurl when "huh???" den e heroine me (of cos save him la) said seats for 2 please.. Den when he wanted to packet e pizza home, he said " please take it away!!!" diao.. den he kan jiong worryin tt e waiter will send it to e bin.



--> e pizza hut's serviette,kz commented" veri big lea, big enough to clean my armpits as well!! "



--> i came across dis pic.! notice e little girl on e left ? does she looks like a smaller version of our superstar female champion , Kelly ? (by e way it was a carrefour's poster"

Christmas is around e corner... it reminds mi of a song by edited fm the original wet wet wet.. "I feel it in my fingers, i feel it my toes, when christmas is around us come on let it show! "

aniwae tats out of e pt! hmm though i brought present bt tis yr's christmas still seem veri cold to me. not lookin fwd to it at all.. guess is bcos we r nt spendin it together bt tats perfectly fine la.

aniwae thanks zhen cai for rememberin mi on christmas season! hope u will haf a wonderful christmas too!

Last thurs was e long awaited SIM bash. I stil remember last yr's bash was e first time i chiong.. (i noe i dun look lyk one la )bt rem ? looks can be decieving.. dint noe hw to dress wear till ma chiam go some prompt nite. Will "first time" always be e best n most memorable one ?
