I always wonder why is it that people tell me “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”, YET AT THE SAME TIME say “Out of sight, out of mind”.
I also always wonder why and how people can enter into a relationship with the mentality that it will still ultimately fail.
Don't you enter into a relationship hoping to make it work, regardless of whatever ups and downs you two are going to face in the future? Doesn't "going through thick and thin" make the relationship even closer?
Granted, things might go haywire along the way and you two might want to just give up and call it quits to save each other further misery.
But, this is different if you enter into a relationship with the mentality that it will still fail - because with that mentality, you will just give up at the slightest hiccup, since subconsciously, you have already decided that the relationship won't work out anyway, so why not just enjoy it while it lasts.
Hmmm.. Not sure if I am making my point... Anyway, the topic of love and relationships has been popping up among the people around me recently…
Man
It’s heartwarming to see how a man gets all excited and tries to strategise his every move just so he can lay his paws on his prey. (I think I make them sound like a beast… hahah) The tug of war playing in his mind – whether to woo the woman aggressively, how not to scare her away, yet making sure somehow, she receives the (secret, telepathic) signals he has been sending her. How to get her to say yes to go out for lunch or dinner with him…
I can’t really remember how I actually got myself embroiled into this situation, in which I have to act as my friend’s “spy”. It’s weird since I remembered telling my friend that I’m not close to his target prey at all, and me being a love cynic, may just make a mess out of everything and crush his ego, hopes and what have you…
Like what one of my other friends say, it has been a long time since we see someone being so enthusiastic about the pursuit game. So we decided to give him our blessings and hope that his prey has received his secret telepathic signals and responds positively!
Woman
It’s funny to see how a woman per se prepares for her date with the man she likes. She has to prepare minimally one week before the date for manicure, pedicure, and a nice hair cut/hair perm/hair rebonding.
Not forgetting choosing the perfect outfit to wear that day, sashaying and dancing in front of the mirror to make sure that stupid protruding little tummy hides itself well underneath that outfit. “Do I look fat?”, “Does this look flattering?”, “What accessories would complement the outfit?” are just some of the questions running through her mind…
This was what one of my gal frens went through to prepare for her BIG date. I’m sure all of us have gone through that stage before, or even now. I am also so guilty of this. But what's wrong with wanting to look your best in front of your date and have his eyes on you throughout the date?
And so, I concluded this applies to all females regardless of age. Who says the jittery anticipation of your date collecting you only applies to the younger gals?

Congrats to Cen - my favourite "story teller"!
I’m still impressed with myself on how I actually came up with these few blurbs back then. Brilliant, dun you agree?
OK OK… Before you puke… On a more serious note…
Had an enjoyable time hanging out with Cen on Wed evening… Seems like travelling back to the good old days when we always had to rush to catch theatrical plays after work…
This time, even though we arranged to meet earlier, dinner was still done in a rush, simply because we spent too much time walking around and deciding which F&B outlet to go to! As usual - what's new, right?
Cen's considering to buy a camera and she's trying out mine... And I was "complaining" why she took a photo of the soup - after I made a mess out of it... But she "argued" it's "arty farty"...
Our food! We gobbled them down in some 10-15 minutes! Not becos we were starving but becos that was all we had if we did not want to be refused entry to the play!
And I always enjoy Cen narrating to me the plots of movies and/or HK drama serials she had recently watched…
Granted - she does sometimes miss a few segments here and there, or tell me “I dun understand that part…” or “I can’t really remember what happen…” but still, she manages to, somehow, pull off a good job in putting the story together…
Like last night, before the play, during intermission and on the way back home, she was sharing with me the plot of Rule #1. Brilliant. Having watched the trailer, I could somehow “re-enacted” and “watched” the story in my mind…
This little gal fren of mine, who is a head-turner and whom I always treat as my little sister, is finally properly getting married in June! Very happy for her!
And I wonder if she has emailed that request to XXX to use the place for her wedding photo shoot! Am glad I could give her some ideas on where to take her photos, instead of the usual outdoor places you see in everyone’s album! The lalang (is that how you spell that feathery weed?), the bridge, the parliament building, what have you…
Cen - the hot babe mama who still looks great ever!
Certainly look forward to catching more arty-farty performances with her in the near future! (and maybe her other fun gal buddies too – somehow, her clique has all the very “chio” gals like Del la, Xin la..! ) Yeah!
**Note: no no, I’m straight. And I’m not falling head over heels for Cen, Del or Xin, though they are seriously very "chio"… But you see, birds of the same feather usually flock together… which means, I’m trying to rub some of their “chio-ness” on myself, if ever that can somehow possibly happen…
Hmmm.. I’m not talking sense here… think it’s time for bed… zzz…
***Note: And I'm not sure what went wrong with my template layout... It has been some time since I last do my HTML layout using those "codes" and somehow, I can't seem to get rid of the money sign before my "Bubbs' Blinks"... Darn...
I miss Cen and Jiahui.. They would know what to do and teach me!

JC "mini-reunion" at "mini pet farm" ~ March 14, 2008!
The Great Dane - Blanket
The Husky - Jewel
Jewel & Blanket - Why does Jewel seem to be gasping for air?
Blanket's too tall for Jewel
One of the toucans - they are so beautiful that we wonder if they are fake...
So what do you think? Real or fake?
The Koi "river"
Bloss & Bubbs by the Koi "river", with Bubbs actually secretly contemplating to push Bloss into the water...
The little pheasant who's called... Ghee? Ghwee? I can't remember.. A pity we were not able to capture a shot of the colourful one - it's very good at hiding from us...
And we are missing the pair of mandarin ducks who are so "snobbish" - they ran/swam away each time we tried to go near to take photos... Bleah!
And the little gray/silver-feathered parrot who said "hello" only to moi! Am I lucky!
The little garden outside the bedroom where someone does his sun- and moon-tanning!
Ever tried taking your shower under the moon and stars? I wonder what happens when you are halfway taking your shower and some birds decide to fly past and poo right on your head...
PPGs trying to "自拍" with the cheena floral backdrop in the living room... I love this backdrop!
The "judge" lectured me that I should behave like a dainty gal & not try to sit on the thing since I'm in a skirt. But who cares? I insisted I have the skills to ensure I'm "covered". But still, in case of "accidental indecent exposure", we had him leave the place when I tried to get off...
And I wonder why Butter had to "hide" behind me for both photos...
In Bloss' words, I must have found theirs too puny and thus, I helped cover them up to save them from further embarassment!
More of such red statues standing around
We all love him... don't we?
Each of us tried to pose like the "kiam pak" guy in the drawing but somehow, the X factor seemed to be missing... **read: so unglam!!**
Back to "those were the days"... Everything was so simple and innocent back then, or so I thought...
The aftermath - the crooning session which Bubbs owe everyone...

鼠年 年初二, February 8, 2008
每年的年初二，我们所有表兄弟姐妹都会做同一件事。 到二舅家霸个好位子 - 从白天就这么坐到黑夜。。。 所谓的好位子就是在两架电视机前面的沙发。
And then it's TV programmes, TV programmes, and more TV programmes + CNY goodies, CNY goodies and more CNY goodies + soft drinks/beer, soft drinks/beer and more soft drinks/beer...
And with a bit of chit chat here and there... There wasn't much catching up to do among us because we are all very close to one another, so we all knew what each of us has been up to these days (to which most of our respective friends are rather amazed at our super-close cousin relationship...)
Kind of boring... Was sms-ing my fren that I was about to turn into a stone statue there...
This year, my uncle & auntie decided to save the trouble of cooking and call for KFC/pizza delivery for dinner... From the photos, make a guess... how many pieces of chicken did they order?
120 pieces of chicken!!!
Not forgetting the chicken nuggets and chicken popcorn, coleslaw and whipped potato! Gosh.... Imagine how all our eyes widened in shock when we saw the boxes... And we also found out that the delivery man actually took a cab to do the delivery instead of using the usual delivery bike we always see on the road!!!
Not only this, we also had six large pizzas + fried rice + soup.... Oh and Yu Sheng!!!
捞啊捞啊！捞个风生水起！祝大家在鼠年：
身体健康，事业步步高升，爱情/婚姻甜甜蜜蜜！ HUAT AH!!!
**my uncles/aunties with the "younger generation" all standing on stools at the back to watch...**
