Singles for an Evening

This is a post-birthday evening meant for Miss Carol who just turned two-three and with our statuses changed to 'single-for-a-day'.  We'd planned for a simple dinner and chill-out session thereafter and since it was to celebrate Miss Carol's birthday, we wanted to go for something like a wild wild night. The occasional dressing up for a girls-night we had in Manipal has become a rare event upon returning to Malacca. We do meet up often, but never a proper grooming done.
Sweet dessert after dinner enlightens the soul. Shisan and Jienyeen couldn't join us later on cuz they have exams coming up. It would be more fun to have them around, certainly. Sadly....

We were indecisive about the venue. The initial plan was to visit Tribe, a quieter pub so that we can talk our hearts out. I'm someone who's for serene ambience. Probably too old for even minor twisting like dancing. We know Carol adores dance floor, so, to compromise that, we headed to Pure. She's really a good dancer, trust me. I, as usual, was a bystander when the girls were enjoying themselves. It was anyway fun to see them moved. While placing our orders, the waiter actually asked 'Do you want carbonated drinks?' Like, LOL!! We must have looked so innocent, huh?? A lady from the next table was so attracted to Carol's enthusiasm, she came and talked to us and brought us some whisky. Even the deejay was so attracted, he told the waiter to serve us each a shot of vodka.
The girls had a sleepover at my place that night and we had some fun in the room. It was a glorious evening with much craze and nonsense. I'm gonna start studying for orthopaedics now!! (:

In Remembrance of Joash

This is a post which I certainly hate writing. As much as I try to avoid, it's inevitable.

A random picture of Jo driving me back to the hospital on 29/04/2010. 

I lost a friend, Joash Wee, about a month ago. One of the coolest guys I got to know since 8 years ago, in year 2002. We met in  in HUGE camp, City Bayview, Penang. The first time we talked was in the elevator when I was with Bern. Jo being friendly, turned around to greet and asked for my name. He appeared to be a very good looking guy whom we all adored. The next day, we saw him again when we were lounging at the lobby. We had a little chat, took a group picture and exchanged contacts.

Our occasional updates were via the blogosphere, facebook or MSN. Just recently, I met up with Jo again when I was posted to Muar. Our first meet up, he brought me out for lunch. It was the day I lost consciousness at the dermatology department. Jo came to pick me up right after, got down the car and with a gentle embrace, he held me to the car to make sure I was doing alright. During lunch, he stuffed me full with real good local street food and even ordered extra for take-away for my colleagues. He would give me a buzz whenever he was around, in that little town.

On 29th April 2010, he was back in Muar and I got to see him again. The part of him wiping my seat before I sat down was really sweet. Due to my short lunch break, we had to make things snappy. It was nevertheless a good catch up when this young man whom I appraised told me he got into sports' broadcasting with Malaysiakini. I knew he loved this field, the passion I saw in him every time he talked about sports. We both had a fancy over music and it was a never ending topic whenever we had it rolling. He was apparently one of my rare friends whom I could actually talk about music so freely. We took the same bite in songs we listened, instruments we played, bands we liked and talk shows we watched. Jo had always been a talented musician. Just how amazing to have frequent consultation from him whenever I was stuck with my Radiator. He guided me perfectly.

Never did I know, that was the last time I'd be seeing him. Never did I know, he's be gone from this place to somewhere I know he's definitely happier. Never did I know, it trampled a heart to learn about his demise. It is still hard to comprehend that he left us in a sudden. My mother was reading out a piece of article about how his family coped with the incident. It moved the both of us so much, we thank God for His strength and love showered upon this family. The memories he carved will remain till forever, for as long as I  shall live. R.I.P. Jo. We will meet again in our Father's home.

Belated Birthday on a Night of Eclipse

It was my bad for delaying the lovababe's birthday surprise. Her birthday falls on February the 24th, but due to our busy life, I had it delayed until now. It was always such that we met up at wrong timings or we were too engrossed with updates about the blabs of life. Since we were both back in our little hometown, I thought I should repay what I owed. We made plans for our occasional meet up (which is like a MUST at least once a month) and to pamper the night with sweet romance, we decided to watch The Twilight Saga: Eclipse with Khai Hong.

Earlier that day, I told Mei I'll give her a treat to make up for a belated birthday. And she replied, 'Surprise me!'. Alright, that's something I'm really good at doing, throwing surprises! I decorated some homemade Swiss rolls and merged them into a cake. I know it sounds ridiculous to celebrate someone's birthday this late, but once in an eclipse, all it takes is the measure of an extraordinary to make an event memorable. And I do love this idea!

My little surprise for my lovebabe. Khai Hong's and my own creativity.
SUPER DUPER BELATED BIRTHDAY LOVABABE!!
 Awww!! Ain't she cute??
Halfway through dinner, we saw our former highschool mates, Hwee Ling and Kai Yee at the other side of the restaurant, like what a coincidence!

Anyways, TLS: Eclipse was quite a disappointment. The three of us were laughing nonchalantly at the dialogues instead of feeling passionate. But I still adore the Cullen clan. All of them look good as ever, especially Edward C. :D What a crave for such kinda guy who's really old school and close to extinction. Whatever may be, the night was great as it is.

Some days, just ♥

The Tree of Wisdom
(The current wallpaper in my room)

I'm puzzled by this complicated Tree-of-Wisdom.

Some days, I wonder where this journey is heading.
Some days, I wake up and realize I'm in a mess.
Some days, I miss a part of my life really a lot.
Some days, I wish for a time machine to turn back time.
Some days, I notice what I am doing is not exactly what I want.
Some days, I contradict my principles.
Some days, I choose to rebel.
Some days, I lose my sane.
Some days, I'm soaked wet with tears.
Some days, I think too much.
Some days, I recap too far back.
Some days, I find myself falling deeper.
Some days, I do not want to let go.
Some days, I want to fly right there.
Some days, I run the race aimlessly.
Some days, I give up.
Some days, everything goes well and fine.
Some days, I'm happy when baby blue cares.
Some days, I feel satisfied.
Some days, I'm insomniac missing that too much.
Some days, I smile sweetly.
Some days, I laugh like a fool.
Some days, I take a look at the ordinary.
Some days, I hope my dreams are true.
Some days, I know, I know, I know, I can never forget.
Some days, 'some days' is intruding more and more frequently.
Some days, I thank you for appearing.

    Koreanophile

    Another 8 weeks of posting accomplished. I'm officially done with community medicine and days of truancy are over as well. See just how time flies when P2S1 is two and a half months away and it's always at times like these when I should be slogging hard, I ended up slacking even more. But today is a good day to celebrate. No particular reason, I'm just happy at the way things move though end of posting exam was a bit of a screwed up case. :D

    I blame it on mom for she introduced me to a new Korean drama called the Prosecutor Princess at the very wrong time which got me totally hooked on at ungodly hours. So you guessed it right. I was busy watching that drama rather than studying. I pronounce, the Hallyu wave is back! The slightest probability to why I'm so addicted to this drama is prolly due to the elements portrayed in this play. Be it the plot, setting, characterization, theme or point of view, all of them triggered my interest just right.

    A conversation going on between my mom, dad and their daughter while watching Prosecutor Princess:
    Mami: *taps on papi* wo men de nv er hen xiang ta (our daughter is very much like her).
    Papi : *turns to mami*
    Mami: yi yang de ai mei..(just as vain..)
    Mi : WTH?? where got?! *grumbles*
    Mami: see the clothes and shoes.
    Mi : -___________-""" na li you la? (where got la?) get your facts right, ok!

    Ok. The vainness was not an obsession to watch. More of like, I was obsessed due to its story line which embraces a bit of similarity to my own. I ended up spilling buckets of tears, enduring late nights and went to class in a pair of swollen eyes. It's been a while since I last did my eye-laundry from a melodrama. It was a good indulgence to have myself drown in and diverting my focus from reality once in a blue moon when a drama ends like every fairytale, "and the live happily ever after. The end." Don't you love this kind of ending as much as I do? :D

    爱一直存在
    我知道 我的愛 一直都會存在
