In many years to come, this is how our MRT system would look like. Damn colourful right, and look at which new areas would become more accessible, places like Maxwell, Chestnut & Dakota.
Now who can tell me which is the fastest way, if say I want to get to Clementi from Sengkang?? Is it through Serangoon and transfer to Buona Vista via the circle line?? Do I change station at Little India and Adam at the Bukit Timah line?? Or perhaps the conventional transfer at City Hall is still the shortest?? Oh what the heck, just take 240 la...

I "stole" the following "formulas" for post CNY goodies binging from a certain internet fashion & beauty guru called Zeppy Spy...muahahahahaz
to flush out your system - ingest loads of papayas and swallow gallons of orange juice (not suitable for choir members or people who are going to sing, orange juice can cause weird weird things to happen to your throat)
to flush out your system & make your face glow - a fruit cocktail consisting of green apples, green peppers, celeries, cucumbers and bitter gourds
for insomnia - put orange peels in a little mesh bag and lay it beside your pillow before you sleep (the fragrance of the fruit is supposed to have a strong, calming effect that can lull you to sleep)
stuffiness of the chest and a loss of appetite - guavas, either as itself or blended form
for dark eye rings - place potato slices (yes potato, not cucumber) on your eyes
to combat against alcohol & possibe liver transplant in the future - take ginseng tea
bertbert unofficially declares yesterday - 7th of Feb, Total Chicken Day!!
You wanna know why?? Do you really wanna know why?? Do you really really wanna know why??
That's because I've had:
2 pieces of KFC crispy fried
chickencheese fries
mashed potato
mountain dew
(which was followed by indigestion, so I went to get Heaven & Earth White Tea + Rockery Strawberry Milk Tea with pearls to try and digest the super oily & greasy
chicken brunch I had)
dinner was some
chicken piata or piccata thing (which is actually just a
chicken patty) with weed spaghetti & mini salad consisting of cherry tomatoes & i-dunno-which-country lettuces topped with some weird weird brown colour sauce
a pot of Strawberry Garden Tea
a few spoonfuls of brocoli soup
a piece of garlic bread
1 soft shell crab
chocolate fondue with strawberries, mangoes, kiwis (which I did not touch) & bananas
and of course, supper included Cavana
chicken wings with rice
Heaven & Earth Mandarin Orange Tea (to again try to wash the oil and grease and indigestion away)
So, anyone wants to go out and eat chicken with me??
i miss you...
ever since u left...all that i said to u was "happy chinese new yr"...and all that you said to me was "same to you"...
i need to learn to let go of you...to forget you...soon
Reading my lecturer's blog and watching Jack Neo's "I'm Not Stupid Too" has started my gray matter thinking about parenthood and being a good father. Am I even going to start pondering questions like, "what makes a good father??" or "how does a loving father knows how to show his love correctly??" Well, I don't think so.
So anyway why do I feel the urge to blog about this subject, which by the way is "fatherhood". I guess it's because of everything that's been going on since my birthday last year. All of a sudden, I felt that I do not need a father.
For the past 10 years or so, my father has been flying around most of the time. True, that the reason he flies around is because he holds a job that needs him to. True also, that the reason he holds that job is because his family needs him to. But at the end of the day, we're all sinners and no one can be perfect, much less a perfect father. Being able to fulfill the material, pragmatic and realistic needs of his family, he has given up much on being a part of his children's lives.
Of course, one may say that this father loves his children so much that he is willing to take up a job that actually takes him away from his children, so that he can gives his children whatever they wish for. Honestly speaking, that is indeed the situation that my sisters and I are in. We can have almost anything we want. But however, I fear and worry the most for my youngest sister. Our father has missed being a part of her childhood the most. Ever since she was borned, she only sees our father say, 10 times a year each with time being around a week.
Jack Neo portrayed a father who loves his son so much he is willing to go on his knees and beg an old lady in the middle of the neighbourhood, in front of all present to ask her to give his son a chance. Another father died trying to save his son in a fight, literally.
My lecturer said this, that a father is always secretly proud of his son, that a father wants his son to be proud of him, that a son wants to be proud of his father too. However, I'm truly sorry to say that I'm no longer proud of my father. Is it too cruel to say that of my father, to disregard everything he has done for this family because of one mistake that he made. Is it even right?? Do I even have the right to say it?? Bear in mind that the mistake my father made almost wrecked my family and it's still hurting us now. I've no idea will my mum and my sisters ever heal.
My father erred but he's only a man. My mum needs her husband and my sisters need their father. I however, think I no longer do so.
