it's a blog eat blog world

Let me tell you a story...

Long before your time, in the Southern province of China, there lived a girl, lets call her Wing, who was so ugly and fat that she had low self esteem and did not dare go out and meet people. Her only redeeming point was that her lips were as luscious as the present day Angelina Jolie's and they were moist and shiny like those immpossible-to-be-real models in Maybeline's lip-gloss adverts.

One day, she was bored and did not want to go home, so she did the never attempted before and went to meet a friend, Wong, she made through the carrier pigeon network (in her time, there wasn't the internet). So, Wing met Wong, not expecting anything much romantically because Wong was happily attached to another girl.

Or so she thought...

Well, they met up at the horse station (there wasn't any MRTs then either). As it was their first meeting, Wing was terribly quiet and shy (low self esteem mah), to the point that Wong was doing all the talking and was desperately trying to get her to show some signs of life. Suddenly, he started to sing her favourite song and she couldn't resist but to join in the song. Thus, Wing slowly thawed and Wong pierced her with a BBQ stick and... Oops, got too carried away...

Anyway, they got along fine and they scheduled another meeting by the Yellow River. Now, it so happened that they were sitting on the banks of the river singing when Wong suddenly looked into Wing's eyes and started touching her face, slowly caressing it. Magic struck them, something called Chemistry (although it was only invented a hundred years later) filled the air and they thus fell in love.

Now what about Wong's girl you might ask?

Well, it seemed that Wong was suffering under an abusive spouse and was thoroughly fed up with her and meeting Wing was the pushing factor for him to leave her. So he did.

And Wing and Wong lived happily together..........

NOT

They faced strong criticisms and angry backlash from family and friends who could not accept the fact that they were an item. Wong was so stressed that break-up was frequently a subject he would bring up, but Wing held on to hope, to love and to their relationship.

How will it end? Will it even end? We may never find out...

Disclaimer: Typical Qiong Yao story huh...

Right... Havent been blogging for like 5 days? I know my frequent blog readers will find that nothing new, cuz i'm prone to having periods of being blog-bored. But this time, its different... There's a reason for all this inactivity in my blog... I wasn't home since Saturday, and Friday night proved to be too traumatic to sit in front of my com anyway... And because of this, i had to cancel on a few groups of ppl, which i really didn't mean to... These past 5 days have been emotionally draining and physically tiring for me... And not to mention the rest of my family, extended included...

My ah-kong passed away on Friday nite.

Only you people here reading this would know that... And i shan't go into details. All i will say is that our family has gone into funeral mode with much tears and prayers (My grandparents are Christians) and that my grandfather looked peaceful lying there... Our family bonded within the 5 days there and our ties are strenghtened.. Lucky me, to have such a close knit family for times of trauma and drama like these. I thank lord. I also wish that my grandfather has found peace and has gone on to a better place. One in which he can walk and talk and laugh like everyone else... And one more wish is for my grandmother, in the hope that she will move on with life...

I'm not a christian myself, and i doubt i will ever be one, seeing that i'm too lazy to even go to a police post to change my address in my ic, but i've been to churches and i have really enjoyed the masses or services, whatever you call it, there. Another thing is that out of all the times i've been to church (and i've been to a few, City Harvest, Christ Methodist Church and another church somewhere ulu, cant remember the name), i've never failed to be moved by what i feel and see in these services... Yes, i cry. For what reason i'm not quite sure. Maybe its because of the feeling of unity in singing hymns or the overpowering sense of faith and love of God. I'm seriously baffled by my lack of control of my tear ducts...

Anyway, to something more lighthearted, my mom suspects i have a girlfriend and now she's grilling me and telling me to bring 'her' home for dinner or something... Worst thing is that she told my dad and now i'm jumpy whenever they talk to me.. Its not that i dun have a clear conscience, but i just dun like talks of this sort... Haha... Get what i mean?

Ok, this is totally not related to choir, but i find this neoprint very angst-ridden and filled with teen spirit... Like some teen movie poster.. So se!

Jiayin and big Peiwen was there, but Peiwen was nowhere to be found! After taking, Ms Ong complain that we never tell her her hair messy. Where got!

Tenors of the past, present and soon-to-be!

After the clinic, we saw Mike Brewer rushing off and we caught him for a picture! Haha... With coffee in hand, he keeps saying he has to leave, but smiles for the photo anyway! Funny smile there!

TPchoir yr1s plus me, tiancai and kelvin with that HK guy at the choral clinic today... Trinkle Trinkle little staar! Linton bitch is falling down! Without a care, and frying flee! He's nonsense. I bet he din major in Singing.

Ok, this entry has totally nothing to do with the one i just posted. My Meds for NS is tmr!!! DIE! Horrors!!! I feel slightly stressed... Ok, who am i kidding? VERY STRESSED! And with the concert being tmr also, i'm like gonna waste the day away! The middle part of the day la actually. So yeap. How you like my new blogskin anyway? I think its nice, although abit hard to read.

Now that i'm nicely settled in, i can start blogging abt Bangkok. But first things first, my archives arn't working, i still have some contacts to put in and i need to change the tagboard's colour. Thats it i think.

Singapore to Bangkok-Day 1
Flight was pretty smooth, although i have to say SIA was a flop to me. All that hype about it didn't do it for me. Food, YUc. Games, YUc. The movie selection was good though, and the music was pretty hip. I watched Swimfan. Forgot i watched it before. We arrived at the hotel around evening time, can't remember what time exactly. The hotel was quite sad. Abit bigger than First World. Thats it. After that, went walk about abit and had dinner at this place that my father described as down to earth and not affected by globalisation. Ok, that was my version, but nvm. Anyway, one thing to describe the roads. Dirty. Anyway, after dinner we went back to the hotel and my dad and i went out to some night market called Papong or something. There was so many ppl soliciting sex shows or what they call "Tiger" shows. And there were so maby bars with scantily clad women dancing with poles. One particular bar we passed by, i looked in and saw the women with bored looks on their faces. It was a sight to behold. Clad in white hardly-there bikinis and holding onto poles, they were like rows and rows of mindless robots moving mechanically, waiting to please customers that walk in after paying 20 baht, which is less than S$1 by the way. Exchange rate is roughly S$1 to 23 baht. Then, my eyes got caught onto figurines of elephants which are so cute. I stopped by the stall to look at them for only a sec and this lady immediately accosted me. She whipped out the calculator and told me the price was 100 baht, but she would reduce it to 60 baht for me. I wanted to buy two so the combined cost would be 120 baht. My dad came along and asked for a further discount of 20 baht, but she said cannot, so we wanted to walk off. The lady grabbed me and said, "For you only" and she sold it to me for 100 baht. Lol, 2 for the price of 1! Me and my dad walked around somemore and i bought some CDs for 100 baht each (ard S$4) and went back to the hotel. Sleep.

Bangkok-Day 2
Woke at 5! Had a bath and went down for breakfast, the same one i'll be eating for 4 more days! After that, went with a tour group to visit some places like the floating market, purse and jewellery factories and 4 facing god temple (Shi mian fuo). Nothing much la... Floating market was a bunch of baloney. Just one or two lil' boats selling wares, din buy anything, then me and my 2 bros fed the hundreds of catfish swarming our boat with bread that we bought and were splashed by their thrashing about. Just as we were complaining about the ickiness and grossness of it all, we saw some villagers swimming and bathing in the very waters. Gosh! After all that, we went to the World Trade Center there and did a spot of shopping. I bought a Nike Dri-Fit(NOT PIRATED thank you, it costs S$33) and The Da Vinci Code for only S$10! WOOT! After that, went to this place called Siam Center which was kinda like Heeren but way better. Came back to the hotel afterwards and babysitted my bros while my parents went out for night shopping. They bought back Char Quay Tiao from some roadside stall, totally different from what we get in S'pore. Finished it, read abit. Sleep.

Bangkok-Day 3
Went Dreamworold today... Its kinda like Escape Theme park but better! The place is WAY bigger(DUH) and there's more stuff like Haunted House. We went in and ascended a flight of steps and i felt something clawing me through the railings. I was the last guy la, I screamed. This high pitch yelp that i usually produce. HIt was the guy collecting tickets at the door of the haunted house. SICK MAN! Anyway, at around the middle bit, my bro started crying. He wasn't the youngest one. Went walking ard after that and i bought souvenirs and polo tees(Fake ones, yes pls). Went back to the hotel, did my thing. Sleep.

Bangkok-Day 4
Woke late, my parents went out earlier, i brought my bros to breakfast on my own. Then went back and slacked around, and went for a swim at the swimming pool. The deep end was 2m. Shiok man, can dive. I miss diving. The pool at my place is only like 1.2m deep. Sad. Anyway, after swimming for less than fifteen mins, a storm started to brew. Lightning and thunder. Cat 1! Haha. Went back to bath and went out for lunch, i can't remember where, went for a walk and went to eat crab and prawns for dinner. Not forgetting Tom Yam!!! Good stuff. Went back to hotel after that. Kinda uneventful huh. Sleep.

Bangkok back to Singapore-Last day
Woke up to breakfast, went swimming again. CAT 1 again! Jinxed. Slacked around and started packing up. Flight is at 2. Went to the Bangkok airport and had KFC. The chicken was bloody dry. I watched 50 First Dates on the plane. Couldn't finish watching it! DAMN! I wanna know how it ends! Tell me pls somebody! Anyway, the food was alright this time. Some procedures were also different from the previous flight. Seemed to me like a totally different airline. BAH!

Overall, it was quite alright la, although i'm used to going to cooler countries for holidays, so i felt damn hot throughout the trip. Haha. There's nothing much to do there but shopping actually. its shopper's paradise man. And i missed someone when i was there. That was it for my trip.

End.
