Yes, I’ve been posting alot of happy/gossipy stuff. Today, let me just sit back for awhile and think, besides all the happy things that are going on…
When my mum was young, she’d sometimes grandma sighing. She’ll ask her why. Grandma told her, she’s “kek sim” (I don’t know how to do a good translation, but those in the hokkien/teochew dialect group should know the meaning). Mum asked, what is “kek sim”. She said, when you grow older, you’ll know. Grandma died young (before I was born).
Mum told me the same thing when I was younger. I often wonder why and what makes someone “kek sim”. Either by chance or by choice or perhaps a combination of both, I finally found out. Now I understood, why grandma died young. She was not happy.

Once in a while, I’ll pick up the papers if I happen to be near a newspaper vendor. Today is just one of those days. First, I turned the last pages where I read the Olympic news. The Cuban guy (Angel Matos) rocks!:P Alright, maybe he over reacted. But when I turned to the 2nd page, guess who over reacted?
I guess most of you have already heard of how the team manager of our table tennis team got “sacked” (even before he touch down on home soil). Only after the team won a medal from the games. If anything, it reminds me of how Andrés Escobar was executed on his homecoming after an own goal during World Cup. Welcome to the cruel world of sports. In our country, where firearms are outlawed, we use “universal rounds”. Some people seem to have more firepower than others. And how timely, right before the celebrations.
Imagine her telling the Cuban guy, “your time is up, you are out”.

Weeks before the wedding, I met up with Dom and Jade at Iguana Cafe. I don’t remember discussing alot about wedding stuff (5mins max). Instead, we talk ALOT about diving. End of the day, the only thing about the wedding that I probably remember was there will be Mcdonalds for breakfast:D
The couple and their bunch of friends are really funny. I was “invited” up the room after the dinner to “document” some “room games”. Took me a little while to get them censored. Not very familiar with that mosiac tool:P *LOL*
You’ve probably seen alot of “rings anywhere” shots. How about this one?:D

Today we decided to head down to Clarke Quay for a few drinks. I can’t remember when was the last time I drank in such a crowded and noisy place:P My friend told me the live band was good, and we weren’t disappointed. Some little observations thoughout the night…
1) There is a queue because people have to order drinks before they can get in. And some dumb people in front of me took 10mins to order 1 drink.
2) The dirty old men who pounce (yes, I see where your hands are) on the young girls selling shots. Hard earned money man…
3) The lady in front of us that spilled my drink and didn’t even apologize. Just say sorry, I won’t eat you up.
4) That guy who danced like a maniac in front of us. Man… he didn’t know all eyes were on him:P We thought he was in an Olympic boxing match.
Oh, and I caught a little of the fireworks while waiting in the queue:D Seems like Clarke Quay is a good place to catch them. We also caught the 4x100m relay where the Jamaican team broke the world record. Man… they are FAST!!!

I weigh myself earlier and the scale displayed a whooping 67.x Kg!!! I’ve never felt so heavy before. Took a crap after that and weigh myself again. 65Kg. I must be eating gold. No, the toilet bowl isn’t choked. Ok, time to lose some weight, fat-barrel!:D

This is the wedding where “they got” the Black Knights to perform during the ring exchange:D The ceremony was held at Burkill Hall (Botanic Gardens). Lighting was good until the Pastor decided to talk a little longer than usual. But because of his slightly longer than usual speech, he hit the right timing, with the Black Knights forming a heart shaped formation right after the kiss. *they didn’t see my hiding away my walkie talkie*:P
