changing seasons

Looks like whitelionat2003 is gonna undergo another revamp soon. Gonna add more links and redo some of the old ones.

Noel's blog is gonna get a picture link
as is Sarongpartygirl's...
and Lancerlord's...
and a few other notable blog's deserve to be upgraded...
maybe some will be downgraded...
and a few other nice new blogs i have come across since the last revamp.

Been thinking of a new background but can't think of anything better than a white lion (which is what it is now) for whitelionat2003.blogspot.com
maybe a different lion who is somehow white in some way.

Johore Bahru with my colleagues

Today went to JB with my colleagues. The main intention was to eat,eat and eat with a little shopping along the way.
I went to pick up Hasli before heading to the office to meet the rest of the gang. Hasli,Cheng, Ai Khim, Esoof, Sin and...Mrs Soh went. The drive into JB was rather smooth. We were supposed to meet by the sea where we had met on previous such trips but seeing they were not there when we got there I drove on until Danga Bay. Both cars finally met up and we headed to a place outside the city where Esoof picked up some 'supplies' as Cheng visited the hardware shop to buy some glue and get a set of keys made.
After that was said and done, we drove over to Perling and had a late lunch at the Orang Asli fishing village. Was a good meal which came up to only 120 ringgit for 7 persons. Which works out to S$8/- per person. Wow!
After dinner...I mean lunch... we headed to KIP Mart Tampoi. There they had a good time buying fruits and vegetables from the stalls there. Pretty good deals to be had there. After all that shopping, we all settled down for a durian feast courtesy of Mr Cheng. *burp*
Then all the spoils were loaded into the car and we crossed over for more makan at Hamid Corner Restaurant(cant quite remember if the name is correct). We all had teh halias and stuff. Me and Hasli shared a Nasi Goreng Laka Laka, which consisted of fried rice and nice juicy chicken bits, which the other also took a taste of. The others shared a naan set. Was another good meal.*burp burp* We all resolved to visit the place again in the near future.
Then Esoof took his leave as his daughter was coming to stay with him over the weekend. The rest packed like sardines into Sunny and I headed to the causeway. I dropped Cheng, Sin, Ai Khim and Mrs Soh at City Plaza before Hasli and I headed towards the customs checkpoint a little way off.
Once in Singapore Hasli and I recced Admiralty Road East for 'a good fishing spot'. I then sent hasli home and finally I was home sweet home.

To bang cock and back

I was away in Bangkok with my dearie from Monday to Wednesday. Agnes returned on Friday. It was too short a trip for me in retrospect. We had only Monday afternoon together to do a bit of shopping in the area near our hotel.It did not help that our hotel was situated right smack dab in the middle of the main shopping belt, so saying we did 'a bit of shopping in the area near our hotel' may be a tad of an understatement.
However we did manage to get lots of shopping done considering the little time we had. We are so tired and sweaty by the time we got back to the hotel lugging all our buys and two 5 litres of bottled water. After washing up we settled down for a well deserved rest.

On the second day, Agnes workshop had already started and so I had to keep myself entertained until she got back. I had booked a tour to the Royal Grand Palace for the first half of the day. It would have been my second time going, but I enjoyed it more this time as I had a proper tour guide to show and explain stuff to us. It all makes more sense when you look at the various buildings and artifacts if someone tells you what they mean. It was a warm morning and I suspect I got more than a little tanned.
After the tour we had a short city tour on the coach before we were brought to a gemstone factory to buy stuff. I was more fascinated by the marine fish tanks at the centre of the showroom than anything else on display. From there I took one of the complimentary minivans back to the hotel. Anyone who has been to Bangkok would appreciate how haphazard the roads,driving and buildings are. So although the gem place and the hotel are not all that far away from one another, the entire journey took about half an hour. It did not help that the driver had to also drop off 2 other guest at other hotels in the area before me. So after he dropped off the first one he had to make a detour to drop off the other one. I could visually see my hotel just across the road from where the second hotel was but it would be some time yet before I would actually find myself in the lobby of it. After must twisting,turning and back alley jaunts I finally found myself back at the hotel. Agnes had adjourned for lunch so she met me back at the room. We sneaked in a few precious moments before going our separate ways again in the afternoon.
After Agnes had returned to her workshop,I went down again and continued my touristy adventure. I walked over to the train station which on foot was quite a walk and bought a full day ticket which I could use for the whole day for 100 baht. My first stop was National Stadium station, where I finally went to the legendary mah boon krong or MBK Centre. I been wanting to go there but never had the chance to until now. And it did not disappoint. There is so much stuff to buy there it is crazy. I had lunch at the McDonald's before catching a movie, The Island, at the theatre above. The movie thatre was lush and comfy. I even had an opportunity to stand up as they played the national anthem and flashed images of the Thai king on the big screen. Luckily I already knew what was expected so I rose when I had to and sat down after the anthem. Woulda been funny if I was clueless as to what was going on and got thrown out or received dirty looks from the locals.
The movie was good. Michael Bay has a way of bringing you right into the action sequences which I love from that adrenaline rush. The story was both a bit unrealistic yet believable in the premise of it all. As usual Ewan MacGregor was good. Seems like everything this guy touches turns to gold. Scarlett Johanssen was good too when she had to be. Although it is hard imagining her as a top supermodel. In short I enjoyed the film.

rating 3 out of 5 test tubes

After the movie and went about doing my shopping and exploring the place. There is so much stuff on sale there that I am not even sure I had seem it all. I bought some bags and t-shirts. Must go there again with Agnes. I am sure she will enjoy it.
And another place I wanna visit when I am in Bangkok next is the Chatuchak Weekend Market. Now that is a place I must visit with Agnes. Another is Seacon Square shopping center claims to be the biggest in Asia and the fifth biggest anywhere in the world!
After that I got back to the station and had wanted to go to The Emporium Shopping Centre but thought better of it. Instead I went to the Siam Centre station. There I wandered around an almost empty underused shopping centre( Siam Centre...what else?). I then crossed over the street to where the Hard Rock Cafe was and bought a t-shirt from the shop. It cost me 700 baht which is a bit steep for just a t-shirt,but it is an original and that is the going price. I then had my dinner at a pizza place, aptly named The Pizza Place. Felt kinda strange to be eating pizza alone but I was hungry and there was no other way around the situation.
After dinner I walked back to the train station and made my way back to Chit Lom (my station). I then walked back to the hotel,but not buying some essentials for Agnes from the nearby 7-11. I then got back to the hotel and showered. Agnes came back a while later and did the same after her 'cruise dinner'. By then it was already late and we were both exhausted after another long day. Z Z zzz...

It was wednesday and I had to go back. I had already arranged with the airport limo to pick me up at 11am from the lobby. My main concern was whether I would be able to say goodbye to my dear Agnes before I left as she was at the workshop and the morning break was at 11am also. Fortunately she was able to make it on time and we said our goodbyes. I left with a heavy heart as my bangkok trip was too short to be sweet. Worse of all was leaving Agnes all alone in a strange land. I felt I should have extended my stay and kept her company until friday. Too late for regrets now.The limo arrived on time and I got to the airport rather effortlessly. I then checked in and then had my lunch at Burger King, before wandering about the airport. You only appreciate something after it is gone. And exploring Bangkok Airport made me realise how fortunate we singaporeans are. Changi Airport is so much better planned and equipped with better facillities. After I had passed through customs I also explored the dity free area and was similarly disappointed with what was on offer. I did buy some overpriced traditional thai desserts,snacks and some postcards from the shops before heading to my waiting area.
Boarded the plane.
Landed in Singapore.
Met by my parents at the airport.
Went home.
Got prepared for dinner.
Went for dinner with the whole gang (sans Agnes) at Amara Riverview Hotel for my dad's birthday celebration.
Went home.

Reach for the Stars

*barf*
I been trying to hold off this post for as long as I could. But this years 'official' NDP song sucks. Performed by Taufik and Rui-En. 2 competent singers. But listening to it one would wonder how Taufik ever won Singapore Idol, and how Rui-En ever got this gig. Both sound decidedly ordinary. Where are the lush R&B vocals of Taufik Batisah and the powerful pop vocal of Rui-En??

Lyrics:

At a time when hope was low
The journey seems unsure
But through it all
We’ve kept the flame alive

Now standing proud and tall
Our spirit strong and free
Building on hopes and dreams
It’s here we want to be

Chorus
Let’s reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we’ll all achieve
We’ll make our destiny

Let’s reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we’ll all achieve
Let’s soar and reach for the skies

When I think about my dreams
The future it can be
The time has come for me
To strive and to achieve

With hopes within our hearts
As one hand in hand
For family and our friends
Let’s do the best we can

Chorus
Let’s reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we’ll all achieve
We’ll make our destiny

Let’s reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we’ll all achieve
Let’s soar and reach for the skies

Our dreams we’ll all achieve
Let’s soar and reach for the skies

We can touch the skies

Check out the official video. So cheesy you can make pizza out of it. Here is to hoping that the live version better captures the true abilities of the two vocalist. There is even a video teaching you the dance steps in the Dance No. 40 Instructional Video.

And a kick ass parody excerpted from Stephen Chow movies.

Royal Grand Palace

The pictures from my tour of the Royal Grand Palace in Bangkok are up.



There are more from where that came from which I will post up in due time.

Things i do not love about Agnes

Been wanting to write this one for a while now, so here goes...

1) She is beholden to her mother. I guess her mum is the most important person in her life and the one responsible most for inculcating good values to her 2 daughters. My issue here is how long Agnes is gonna hang on to her apron strings. Case in point:
i. Our holidays together. Right from the start she has objected to us going on holiday together. Maybe if I were in her shoes I would feel the same way about my daughter sleeping in the same room with some guy. But what affects me most is how Agnes seemingly accept this fact and even agrees with it. I just wonder if when we are married I will face the old mother-in-law thing where the spouse is torn between their partner and the domineering parent.

2) Agnes is non-expressive. I just wish she would say more often how much she loves and treasures me. And not treat my expressions of love as 'mushy'. It sometimes hurts even when she says things that belittle me, although I know she is joking. I have issues I know but someties I just wish she would be more expressive instead of making me feel so small.

3) Despite being together for a while now,Agnes still has no concept of driving. It is hard to describe in words here, but I would assume being a constant passenger in Sunny that she would have a vague idea about what goes into driving and parking and all the grouses of owning a car. A bit far fetched I know. But I just wish I could talk to her about it and get more than just a blank look. She seems lost at what I am so upset about(people cutting into my lane etc),or when i get frustrated at not being able to find a parking lot or when I need her assistance to park or scout out a blind spot.

4) She worries too much for her own good.Maybe in some circles worrying is a sign you care. But to me worrying is wasteful unless you have real reasons to be. It is alright if there are legitimate reasons and concerns. But worrying for the sake of worrying is so not on.

5) Lyn. I thought I been through hell and back with Joyce. But seems like Agnes and Lyn have issues too. It can get bothersome and weary to have to deal with catty comments and ground rules pertaining to the 2 antagonist. I just wish everyone could just get along and not have me to choose between them on everything. I love Agnes dearly and would never do anything to compromise our relationship.

6) That is all for now...

Morning comes

It is now 5.50 am as I type this. Gonna leave for the airport in a few hours. Just cannot sleep for some reason. been awake since like 3.30. Stomach just does not feel right. Went to the loo. Surfed abit on the Net. Lied down in between.

As I have mentioned before, Agnes and I are off to bangkok for the next few days. As I read the news on the Yahoo! news Tsunami scare puts Thailand on alert but threat passes. Not exactly the most reassuring thing to read when you are but a few hours from departure from the country in mention.

Thailand went on high tsunami alert overnight with its southwest coast scrambling into evacuation mode after an earthquake struck the Nicobar Islands, but the alarm was lifted 90 minutes later.

It was the second tsunami false alarm for popular tourist destination Thailand since the giant waves barreled into the Andaman coast December 26, killing some 5,400 people in the kingdom, about half of them foreign holidaymakers.

A massive undersea quake March 29 off the Indonesian coast brought thousands of tourists racing out of their Phuket hotel rooms to higher ground.

Bangkok is far inland and should be of no threat from any earthquake or tsunami but the mind does wander.

It is Hasli's birthday on Tuesday. So a happy birthday to him. Too bad I will not be around to celebrate it with him. I would have liked to write a sort of tribute to him here but that would be too gay. But he figures among my better friends despite what the skeptics might say. He is almost like a brother to me and that is something that will not soon change.

I think maybe I do not go abroad too often besides the occasional excursion to JB. Maybe I do too. But I still get the butterflies in the tummy and wide-eyed expectation of travelling even now like I did when I was just a little lion. Maybe that too has to do with why I am not in bed at this ungodly hour. In recent years I have been to Bintan,Bangkok,KL,Jakarta,Batam and others but still travelling (especially by plane) has not lost its lustre. I guess I have been struck by wanderlust. I do harbour grand designs on places I wanna visit and things I want to do. Good thing is that Agnes makes such good company and she herself does harbour similar aspirations.

Which brings me to the packing part of the trip. It is funny how no matter how well in advance you start packing, you still harbour in the the back of your mind that you may have missed out on something and wheteher you brought enough clothing to last you for your entire trip.

And yes...the fish. I guess I worry for the well-being of my piscean friends while I am away. What if they go hungry? What if the snails overtake the tank and start a mutiny? What if one of them jumps out? Probably a smaller scale of what my parents go through with the cats and dogs, and maybe us kids (not) too. Which probably explains why they have not ventured beyond these shores in years.

British police face demand for answers after innocent Brazilian shot dead
British police faced calls to explain why they gunned down an innocent Brazilian man in the hunt for the London bombers. Brazil's foreign ministry demanded an explanation into the "lamentable error" which saw 27-year-old electrician Jean Charles de Menezes pursued through a subway station before being cornered and shot repeatedly in the head. Terrified subway passengers scattered in panic on Friday morning as plain-clothed police pursued Menezes, who relatives said was going to work, through Stockwell Underground station in south London. Witnesses said the Brazilian -- described as looking "like a cornered rabbit" -- fell to the floor in a train carriage before a policeman standing directly above shot him five times in the head. "For somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a tragedy and one that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets," London's police force said Saturday in their first admission they had killed an innocent man.

Armstrong wins seventh Tour de France crown
American Lance Armstrong secured his seventh Tour de France yellow jersey following the 21st and final stage, his final race before retiring. Armstrong came into the race as a favourite despite his imminent retirement, which he decided on a few months ago in order to spend more time with his three young children from his previous marriage.

Singapore budget airlines Jetstar, Valuair merge
Singapore-based budget carriers Jetstar Asia and Valuair have merged, the firms said Sunday, in the first major consolidation of Southeast Asia's crowded low-cost airline industry. The announcement comes after nearly a month of speculation about consolidation within the region's budget airline industry. The Jetstar Asia-Valuair merger had already been floated in the press and rejected publicly by the two firms, while Malaysian low-cost heavyweight AirAsia had also revealed it had held talks with Valuair. Southeast Asia's fledgling low-fare airline industry has been under pressure to consolidate amid tough competition, soaring jet fuel costs and reluctance by governments to open up their domestic aviation sectors. Jetstar Asia, Valuair, AirAsia and Singapore Airlines-backed Tiger Airways had all begun services in and out of Singapore since the middle of last year with some tickets costing less than a train fare between the same destinations.

Hollywood gets the blues with 'Smurf' revival
The classic blue cartoon characters "The Smurfs" are poised to make a comeback in a new three-dimensional Hollywood movie marking their 50th birthday. Paramount Pictures has acquired the rights to the tribe of small, blue-tinted characters created by Belgian cartoonist Peyo and propelled to worldwide fame in the early 1980s through a hit US television series. The studio is planning a 3-D computer-generated animated Smurf feature film that will form part of a trilogy of "Smurf" movies, the first of which is slated for release in 2008. The release of the first film will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the birth of "The Smurfs." "The Smurfs" were conceived in 1958 by Peyo, whose real name was Pierre Culliford, but popularised by an NBC series that was launched in 1981 and ran for 256 episodes. Screenwriter Herb Ratner has been tapped to write the script for the movie, the storyline of which is being kept under wraps.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' to be resurrected on big screen
The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" are set to return to the big screen after a 14-year break in a lavish new computer-generated movie. The comic-book inspired stories of four humanoid fighting turtles caused a worldwide sensation when they were adapted for television in the late 1980s before hitting the big screen in 1990. But the lucrative franchise has laid dormant since the third in the trilogy of live action films, which together grossed a total of more than 256 million dollars in North America, was released in 1993. The new "Turtles" movie, which will be far grittier than the original films, will be aimed at adult and parentally-accompanied youngsters and will feature state-of-the-art computer-generated graphics.

Together with the impending Transformers live action movie,it is the 80's all over again.

Smurfin' good time

As we wait for the Smurfs and Transformers to come to the big screen, here is something to whet your appetite by the good people of Saturday Night Live.

The Smufs Epic Mini-Series.

Hilarious stuff!

And for all you bunny lovers out there...
Pulp Fiction in 30 seconds (with bunnies of course)

Seems that there is a serial hackist going around hacking(what else?) blogs.Seems like Xiaxue's blog is only one of many.

Speaking of hacked blogs, Kenny made like his was hacked. When in reality it is just undergoing some upgrading and stuff. Trust Kenny to make light of something on everyone's minds at this time.

The weekend that was

My brother Noel was injured in a scuffle on Saturday morning.
His story: A group of guys accused one of Noel's acquaintances of treating his girlfriend like a hooker(read: he was purportedly asking her how she cost per night). Noel stepped in to prevent a fight. From there it escalated into a free-for-all. Noel was punched and kicked in the head.
Apparently the group has been involved in similar incident before. Noel has made a police report and stuff. Noel has a slight skull fracture. But the doctor discharged him and told him to monitor his condition. Such trauma to the head can result in dizzy spells, headaches and other such.

After service today, I went about Suntec and Marina Square looking for stuff. I was looking for a bag for my camera, a lens cap for my camera and a luggage bag. I love my camera, but the carry case it comes with is just for the camera with no facility for accessories like spare batteries,memory cards and such. So I thought it would be timely to buy one for my Bangkok trip. Managed to find a cheap one from Carrefour. I had wanted to buy a new lens cap as my original one was lost. Did not manage to find a new one though. The ever helpful guys at Cathay Photo told me the only way to get one was to go down to the dealer (Panasonic) at Bukit Merah as no one stocks such accessories in retail. Finally.. The luggage bag. I foresee that I am gonna be having more overseas escapades now that I am with Agnes so I thought it worthwhile to invest in a proper bag for traveling. I have one huge case which is way too big for short and medium length trips. I usually use my knapsacks or gym bags for my trips. So today I went about today looking. And as luck would have it I finally found what I was looking for in the first place I looked (Carrefour) after exploring the whole of Marina and Suntec. They had this luggage set consisting of 3 bags in different sizes retailing for $39. It looked and felt right, and gave good value for money. So I have one for every type of travel.16 inches, 20 inches, 24 inches respectively. In the interim I can use the bags as a convenient storage for all the junk that litters my room floor.

Finally Pastor Prince is back! Been like 2 months since I last seen him. It seems whenever I attend services he is away, and whenever I skip services he is the one giving the message! But today finally our paths met. And my...his hair is longer now. Almost ah beng. Hahahaa. As usual a great message from him.

Yesterday, I picked Agnes up from her place and went down to Katong Mall to make a booking at the music school for her to practice for her piano exam. Agnes booked her practice for the 19th evening(coincidentally our 6th month anniversary as well). But I guess sacrifices have to be made. The piano exam means a lot to her and there will be many other celebrations to follow. After that we went to SGH to see Agnes's dad who was undergoing dialysis. After he had his dinner we set off for Funan. Due to the National Day rehearsals, roads around the Padang were closed. This made an otherwise 5 minutes prolonged into over 30 minutes. The roads were jammed due to all the road diversions and I had to get from Outram Road to Funan Centre, but I had to go all the way to near Bugis Junction just to make a U-turn just to get to the car park. If I had known the extent of the jam maybe I could have gone by an alternative route. Anyway, we got there in the end. Agnes bought her memory stick from South Asia and then we crossed over to Peninsula to to look for my lens cap but Cathay Photo was already closed(or rather we could not find it/them). Will go look for it tomorrow after service. Had dinner at the food court. Agnes had Yong Tou Foo and I had sambal fried rice. Mine was horrid. Overcooked and you can hardly taste any sambal. But I ate it all. We then headed home to check up on Noel following his brawl. He seemed alright despite looking a bit dazed and tired. Agnes and I then spent time in my room until it was time for Agnes to head home...

Wake Me Up When September Ends

"Wake Me Up When September Ends", the fourth single by Green Day from their seventh studio album, American Idiot, takes the form of a melancholic ballad, on the theme of the passing summer and memories of a deceased father.

Some speculate the song is an elegy to 9/11. Indeed, the booklet, which takes the form of a diary, puts the song's lyrics at the date Sept. 10, but immediately beneath it features the number 11 (the song's track number).

Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this. It is the first song he wrote about the death of his father. His father died of cancer when Billie Joe was 10. Before he died, he gave Billie Joe his first guitar, a Ferdnandez Stratocaster copy, which Billie Joe now calls "Blue."

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends

The music video is not too shabby either. Except for the overly-sentimental starting and the over-the-top hysterics from the female lead it really brings across the harsh realities and isolation of post-9/11 Americana.

Xiaxue is on Class 95's Blind Dates

Just finished reading Xiaxue's latest post and I do think she is displaying bit more maturity now. May she finally realises that she is not 'all that'. She came so close to losing everything she has worked so hard to achieve in one fell swoop.

But the real news here is that Xiaxue is gonna be on Blind Dates on Class 95 FM. I listen to it all the time as it is normally on round about the time I am sending Agnes home and getting home myself at night. It is gonna be fun to actually hear her. Wonder if she can translate her blog persona unto live radio. That would be cool. Although people who actually met her say she is quite unlike how she come across in her writings. But she does have a strange sense of humour and can be altogether too direct for some.
And her profile posted on the Class 95 website....how to get dates with that sort of profile one??

What she said on her blog concerning her appearance on Blind Dates:

How cool is that? Well, ignore that very arrogant little description of myself, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. =)

If you want to have a fully paid dinner with me (shiok, they will book the whole place!), please write in to join. I am really not that scary in real life, I promise. Just a wee bit bitchier than most girls maybe... But I am definitely interesting and I think, quite funny. Hahaha...

Her profile?
