Hmmmm.. I'm still a little Child at heart..

I'm sure there are many people in this world who has something close to their heart. This cannot be bought nor can it be exchanged for any kind of riches in the world. It's never far from your side and is faithful to you, it's owner.

What am I talking about? I'm talking about our smelly's ("chou chou / 臭臭"). Some of us do remember very clearly that we once had that smelly 臭臭 to calm us down or to give us some form of security or to hug it tightly when we need one, etc etc etc, right?? It could be a small bolster or a small pillow. Hell no! Or it could be a small blanket or head-rest. Whatever it is, it was one of those moments whereby we would find solance, comfort and security within our treasured bed-room walls.

Mine's a small bolster. It was hand-sewed by my ku-por (or something like that ahh..) and I remember distinctively that it used to be a purplish coloured patterned small pillow. Heavens!! I can't remember the fate of that small pillow now. And thereafter, she made me the small bolster (see figure on your right). My darling took the liberty to twirl it and place her glasses on it, while I was in the washroom. Doesn't it look like some kind of a cute monster?? Hahaa.. I burst out laughing my guts out when I stepped into my room and saw it on my bed. It was sooo Funnie!!! I immediately wipped out my camera phone and snapped pictures of it.

Yeah, I still have this smelly with me. And I won't be throwing it away either. No one and I mean, NO ONE can make me throw my smelly away. And better not throw it away secretly, for I would declare WAR on that person...!! Hahaa..

My darling ahh... Sometimes, she can be such a Joker...!!

* Psst.. That's a quarter of my darling's body.. Model in the making, maybe?? *

Of Nightmares and Dreams with Reality...

I have been walking through the automactic sliding doors and open concept doors of Ikea, V.Hive and Courts, every single day since last Sunday. And I had my girlfriend with me for company.

I've seen different kinds of bedroom wardrobes, corner wardrobes, bed frames, matteresses, computer tables, sofas, chairs and tv racks. I've checked on their prices and instalment plans, if any. Girlfriend really made herself very useful in this area by taking measurements, recording the prices and talking to the sales assistants.

I would have to think properly and very carefully what can I do with and do without. What can I do to enhance my bedroom and make it look spacious enough, yet have more than enough space for me to place very nicely, 2 wardrobes full of clothes into 1 wardrobe.

I have to think with the help of my partner, where should my bed be, where is my wardrobe gonna face, is it possible to also fit a corner wardrobe in there, should there be a mirror fixed on into the wardrobe, is a chest of drawers gonna be alright if I do not have the mirror in the wardrobe and if I didn't have the corner wardrobe, where shoud my tv rack / self be positioned, am i gonna have some shelves above my bed frame, could it still be possible to squeeze a little sofa somewhere in that tiny room, would this colour of this piece of furniture gonna go well and blend in with the concept I have in my mind, what colour of my wall should I have it painted in.

I have to think and calculate and still be able to get by, scrimping and saving on clothes and food delicacies, leaving just enough for me to have my meals and transport, after having deducting for renovation loan, utility bills, insurance premiums, cell phone bills, blah blah blah...

And for all the above, I have been having sleepless and disrupted sleep. I dream and have nightmares of the furniture, kitchen applicances, toilet fixtures and of course not forgetting the MOST important thing - MONEY, floating and flying around....

Such an exciting life huh.. Who ever said that shifting house was good???

Thank you, Girlfriend... For standing by me..

My 3-Room..

I grew up in Bedok North Avenue 3......

I went to view my soon-to-be HDB flat on Sunday. With my mommy, my partner and of course, my contractor. Mommy needed to do some prayers and we needed to use a hammer to just knock on the walls, so that it would mean that renovation works have been started... You see, we would be starting on the renovation works during the 7th month ghost festival. So, yes, the artifical hammering was REALLY and ABSOLUTELY necessary and required.

It's located in one of the prime neighbourhoods. In the east. In BEDOK!!

I'm rich. Oh yessss... For I am gonna be the proud owner of a flat, solely owned by, Yours Truly. Aiya.. In actual fact, I will be asset rich only. It's still mortaged to the bank.

And now, after years of shifting to places like Hougang - 5 room executive corner, Woodlands - 7 room jumbo corner, Simei - 5 room corner, Woodlands (again.. but a different part) - 5 room corner and Jelapang Road - 5 room corner, I'm finally gonna shift to Bedok North, again!! This time round, it is a 3 room next to corner. The smallest square area that I have lived throughout my 30+ years on the face of this earth. And I would not be shifting anymore, unless almighty decides to make me RICHIE in the next 5 years, whereby I would be able to buy landed property, or else, I would not be planning to move, again.....

It would definately take some getting used to in living in a 3 room. Especially so since it is a corridor unit. Though luckily it is next to a corner one, my room still faces the common corridor. There would still be insecurities. Blah Blah Blah.... Hmm.. I think the next best thing to do is to install a alarm system in my humble abode (yah yah.. i know it may sound a little over the top. but, then again, it's for safety's sake mah.. don't agree meh??)

I'm heading for the truly necessary and simple renovations. Well, the 2 toilets has definately and obviously got to be re-done, from the ceiling to the floor. The common squatting system to be altered and replaced to a sitting one. I would be giving up my dream of create a Zen-like house feel and having built-in / custom made wardrobe, bed and cupboards, in place of a retro feel like kitchen with new pippings and cabinets. Washing and painting would be done by my partner and some friends.

Well I guess it won't be totally un-Zen like for my partner has mentioned that the furniture that I have pointed out to her so far would have a Zen-like look and feel.

The minimal and the necessary.
Simple and comfortable.
That's the way it is
And that's the way it shall be.
For money is the essence.
And money is a killer.


So... My fellow friends, if you would like to be volunteers** in this really cool and fun get-together, (by helping me to paint, wash and eventually, transporting my endless loads and loads of stuff in carton boxes from Jelapang Road to Bedok North), please do not hesitate to contact Me or my partner, Glendan, for any clarification or details. We would be glad to answer all your queries.


** Please note that food and drinks would be provided for your kind assistance in this event.

Wonder when Wonder how Wonder why

Everyone has their bad and rough times, good and happy times. Sailing through stormy seas. Waiting for the calm of the waters to surface.

I am not wrong to say that I am not the only one having to go through so many kinds of rough and tough times. There are others out there in this world who would go through something far worse as compared to me. Yet, I have the right to grumble and complain - about my difficulties and unhappiness.

I would love to be rich. Why, who wouldn't? I don't dream to be a millionairess. Heck! I don't even ask to have alot of excess cash or assets to my name. All that I ask for is to have enough cash to get by. To be able to have a decent abode, a 3-room HDB flat will do nicely (for now...). Some simple furniture. A decent job with a decent salary (hey! I'm not talking about S$5k a month, you know...). Be able to service a decent loan and the usual and necessary insurance policies. Be able to fill my little flabby tummy with 3 meals a day. Decent and simple clothes to cloth my body paired with and nice bags and shoes to protect my feet while I walk.

Sometimes I wished I had the means to provide my loved ones (mainly my mother, who's living together with me and secondly, my brother, pampared little one who's 10 years my junior) the kind of comfort level that they would seek for. Monthly allowances that would be able to provide their meals, transport and some shopping. I am very sorry, mum and bro, I can't do that. For the moment, this is all that I can afford to give you. I wish I could do more for you, but, I can't. I am sorry.

There would be times whereby I would cry to myself. The tears may flow down my cheeks, yet at other times, the tears are held back, with much force that my heart would ache. I wished. Oh, how do I really wish that certain things would go smoothly by my way.

I was just telling my partner last night over our late dinner of fish, fries and chicken pieces at Long John's Silver how I hoped that the people close to my heart would be able to strike at 4D or ToTo. Why doesn't the almighty one give them these pleasures? Especially now, since I am in need of it. I can forgo placing bets on them for I am one who doesn't bet on these all the time. It's only once in a while that I would and its not for a big amount either. I can give up totally, not even wanting to bet on these once in a while. And I really mean, TOTALLY.

Luck. Everyone would have it going for them at some point in their lives. And I only hope that this is one of the times whereby the ladies close to my heart, be able to get them and help me in lessen my worries and my load.

I'll be starting my renovation works in a week or two. Though by then, it would have been the 7th month festival already, there shouldn't be any worries. As long as I use a hammer to knock a few places, here and there in the flat, it would have meant that renovation works have already started. There are also good / auspicious days during the 7th month festival. Hence, when the renovation works have been completed, I would be choosing a auspicious day to move in. So that I would be able to save on the rental for my current rented place.

My dearies, do not expect too much on the decoration of my humble abode. I would try my best to cut and save on a lot of things, with the help of my partner. And yes, I would be having a house-warming session. And to the invited ladies and gentlemen, please be informed that I would appreciate your warm presence to my humble abode. The date, time and venue would be clearly stated in my invitations that would be sent out in due course.

Wish me Luck.
Wish the ladies close to my heart Luck.

Thank you my partner.
Thank yoy my friends.
Thank you almighty one.
Thank you all.

Finally... The Wait is Over..

The days has come and gone. A month of matches, betting (legally and illegally), shouting and screaming, cursing and swearing, happiness and joy, the neglecting and those being neglected, tears of disappointment and joy.

The CUP has been given to Italy.

For this one month, I discovered some new things about my partner. Here are 10 examples for you:-

1. When I accompany her to Alternative Bar ("AB") to watch the matches, she would not leave me entirely alone, to drink and 'eat myself' (read: '吃自己'..). She would chat with me, stroke my cheeks and ensure that I have my glass filled and not left empty.
2. My partner does not make noise and shout / scream, "Goal!" "F**k!" or "他 妈 的" when someone misses a goal, a strike, a defence, a penalty kick or whatever else there is.
3. My partner can go without watching any match if I am not feeling well and wanna stay at home.
4. My partner would be willing to watch with all the Ah Pek's at the coffee-shop or MacDonald's (even with the reflection from the glass panel).
5. My partner would feel guilty if I am staying home and not out with my friends, if she is watching soccer. Then she would want to accompany me to stay at home instead or sms me / call me whenever she can (like every 15 mins or so), if she is in AB.
6. My partner would say, "Thank you" to me whenever she finishes watching a match (if I am together with her).
7. My partner said, "Thank you" to me when I took up bets (personal betting system) with her for certain matches.
8. My partner would tell me which player is which, from which country, what mistake did the guy make, the meanings of the Yellow and Red Card, blah blah blah.
9. My partner would give me some extra spending money if I went out with my friends for dinner and shopping.
10. My partner stayed home to watch the Finals while I was sleeping blissfully at her place.

At the end of this one month, I have lost $10 to her. And she lost a ice-cream bet to me. Ehhhh.. my ice-cream treat was from Haägen-Dazs, you know.. More expensive than the $10 I lost. Good Huh??!!

Anyways, I can now have my darling's full attention again. No need to share her with the TV screen, 14 inch or flat screen or plasma or whatever else it is called, together with all the foreign men....

Hahahaa....

To me it's called, il something something...

I got my fresh supply of ground caffè powder last evening, given to me by no other than my darling Prince Glendan.

She left office early on Wednesday and headed to town. She had to do some office stuff and thereafter, she proceeded to the Market Place and got me this tin of 'illy's Espresso' for me to drink in the office. Italian Premium koffie, you know.

Wahhhhh.... I tell you.... The frangrant smell of the gound caffè is oooohhhhhh sooo sooo sooo sooooooo Yummie...... I wished I could put a tablespoon of the ground caffè into my mouth and swallow it (ecstasy...). Hehee.. Ok, I am going nuts.

I drank my 1st kuppa this morning. This is my bear bear kupp. In which I would drink my koffie with. Mmmmm.. It tasted Wonderful (better than having sex..) It is thicker then the previous brand called Ma something something and I had it straight black otherwise known as kopi-o kor-song.

Devouring my 2nd kuppa at this very moment.. It still tastes good. It might not be as black nor as thick but the taste is still good. I do not want to be too wasteful. So what if I have to re-fill my Glassieŕ once in order to make the most out of this il something something ground espresso caffè powder.

Well, if I were finish the il something something too fast too soon, my Prince would start complaining that I am too expensive to upkeep (expensive koffie addict).

Am I naughty? Ooohhh yes, I definately am...

Be Happy... Smile!!

I do not really like walking (means = distant walking). I would perspire and I would get frustrated. Or maybe I am just plain L A Z Y.

But last evening, I did a walk. A slow walk from the nursery at Thomson Road to Toa Payoh Lorong 1. Firstly, I took a train from Raffles Place to Braddell MRT Station. Then I took a cab from Braddell to Thomson Road. I had plenty of ideas running through my mind when I was having my train ride. I was asking myself over and over, what station should I stop at? Should I take a cab to Thomson? Or, should I take a quick paced walk to Thomson? Or, should I take a quick paced walk to Thomson and slower paced walk to Toa Payoh Lorong 1?

I decided on dropping off at Toa Payoh Station. But I mistakenly got off at Braddell instead. Ohhh.. Nevermind, I will just go on up and see how. I then decided to take a cab from the main road for I recall taken a walk with my Prince, Edward and of course, Kris to the nursery. I kinda remember the route. But to be sure, I decided to take a cab to Thomson instead. I did not want to walk by myself through that lonely stretch of road back from the nursery.

I reached Thomson Road in less than 5 minutes and the taxi driver had even cautioned me against walking along that stretch of road come nightfall for the area is "dirty" (simply means = ghosts / spirits / encounters of the 3rd kind). I told him that it should be okay for it is still bright; won't be too dark to walk back. He insisted that I should not. Well, anyways, not that I am being stubborn nor non-superstitious. It is just that I know I would have certain kinds of protection to watch over me. But, really, the main reason was, I needed a quiet time to myself - to see the trees and much less of traffic on the road.

I got to the nursery at Far East Flora at around 6.40pm. I immediately went into the 'freezer' to search for flowers.

There aren't many selections but nevertheless, I decided to get what I came for. I looked through the different types of flowers peeking out from their translucent plastic wrappings. I walked to and fro, bent over and almost under, spoke to them flowers and at the same time, telling myself to not shiver and stay in there to be awake to choose the flowers carefully. I contemplated on the different colours and countries of the roses (oh by the way, i love white / yellow / champagne roses. I've yet to see the black coloured ones. But I'm sure I'll love them too...) and of course lilies (cala lilies are my favourite...) and of course tulips, amongst others (because I don't know their names, mah...).

I finally decided to get a bouquet of red roses and a bouquet of lilies. I lunged them both bouquets home and took my time to walk that stretch of road. Luckily, I had the company of a young gal. She had just finished jogging and was taking the same route with me. So, unknown jogging gal was walking in front of me and me, just meters behind her. I checked out her body, her curves, her hair, and of course her toned legs and arms. She has a good body and she probably is still of school age – Junior College or University or something something.

I took in the sight of her back, the air, the trees and of course the quiet, it was lovely.

When I got home, my Prince was in the shower. I covered her eyes and asked her to guess what surprise I have for her. After a couple of missed attempts, she finally got it right. And what a surprise she got thereafter. She gave me a big hug after I told her that I got the flowers from Far East Flora. She gave me another big hug and a kiss (too) when I told her that I walked all the way back from the nursery.

I told her to place the flowers in the vases and place the roses for Kris in his bedroom, on his side table. The flowers were for Kris because he has been feeling down lately. They were meant to bring Kris smiles and calm.

The lilies?? They were for my Prince because she has been… Eh, nothing le. Because she has been such a darling lo!! Plus, she was a little down yesterday. Hence I wanted to bring her cheers and laughter.

I have achieved both. I brought people very close to my hearts smiles and laughter. I feel happy too.

I have found searching for the right bouquet of flowers Therapeutic. It takes my mind off things for a while.

I have also found taking a walk along a quiet stretch of road is Therapeutic (this stretch of road is not entirely deserted.. Cars and lorries do make use of this road. It’s a short cut to Thomson Road! And if it’s entirely deserted, I wouldn’t have walked at all...)

Haahaahaa... Heeheehee... Now join me everybody, smile and say, Cheezzee...

Je suis seulement humain...

I would remember saying that I want, no, rather, I NEED a break. It could just be a weekend break to somewhere nearby. To shut myself out of worldly issues, from friends, from family and relatives. No answering of phone calls nor sms-es. Just peace and tranquility without a watch on my wrist to tell me the time. Just those quiet and peaceful moments of the day and night.

My gal knows how and what I am going through now. She knows that I really NEED that kind of peace. I need to SHUT myself out, even if it is for 2 days. Yes, doing this over the weekend would be good for I cannot afford to be Missing In Action from work at this moment. I am soooo "indispensable" right now. No wonder the 3 months thingy came by. Should I be happy??

I may seem like I am an angel or a saint. Or dare I say, god, to some. But I am really none of those. I would also need someone who is sent by god - to assist me in dealing with Priscus' Current World Affairs.

I hardly gamble (mahjong or blackjack) or place winning hopes on our 4D's or ToTo's or on winning horses at the Singapore Turf Club. Therefore I would not be able to have any chance at all - ZERO...!

I even lost $10 to my gal when we bet on the winning team last during last weekend's soccer match. But won a ice-cream bet during one of the matches. Not bad, eh...!!??

In Loving Memory of Bon Bon (May 2004 - July 2006)...

I’ve only gotten to know Bon Bon for about 3 months. Though I don’t play with her often, I have fed her and stood by Glendan when she bathed Bon Bon for the 1st time. Oh yes - Glendan was so very afraid of bathing Bon Bon for she was afraid that Bon Bon would catch a cold.

On the morning of 1 July 2006, I awoke to the sounds of Glendan busying herself with getting ready to go to work. I noticed that Glendan was not herself and asked her what is wrong. She said that Bon Bon isn’t eating nor drinking and is struggling to get up and move about. Glendan said that Bon Bon would not last long and that both her eyes are closed shut. I asked her if she cleaned Bon Bon’s eyes and Glendan replied that she did. I asked her if she has called her ex-partner and told her about Bon Bon and Glendan said that she would. Glendan was tearing when we had that little short conversation about Bon Bon.

She asked me not to worry and to go back to sleep as she was about to leave the house for work. When I awoke in the late afternoon, I headed straight to look at Bon Bon. I called out to her and opened her cage. I stared at her body to see if she was breathing, for I had a feeling that she is already gone. I plucked up my courage and placed my fingers on Bon Bon’s body. There was no movement and Bon Bon was stiff and cold. There were ants on Bon Bon’s face and I carried the cage out to the kitchen.

I called Glendan and told her that Bon Bon has ………………………………. [silence] Glendan caught herself and then asked me to take 2 tissue paper and wrap Bon Bon. I took 4 kitchen towels and covered Bon Bon. I also tried to rid the ants on Bon Bon’s body and face. I placed Bon Bon on the kitchen floor, next to her cage.

When Glendan came home, I got up and gave her a Big Hug. I could feel the heavy heart and the heavy breathing. I hugged her more. I knew she needed it.

Bon Bon looked at peace and she was clutching 2 sunflower seeds. I’m sure she would have wanted us and especially Glendan to know that she was fed well before she passed on.

Bon Bon….
A cute quiet fat fluffy little furry hamster whom I’ve grown to love. Rest in peace, my cutie. I’m sure you’ve found your cool friend, Bubble in heaven. Love each other like how you both used to and be on with your little nibbles and plays.

With Love,

Priscus….

Romantic Dinner to Remember By...

30th June 2006 (Friday)


A much awaited day and night has arrived. It was our 2nd month anniversary. My Prince has ignored me a little on Thurday when I asked her what's for dinner on Friday. I even hinted that it was our 2nd month anniversary. But she completely igmore my comments and talked about other things. (hmmm.. I allowed it to pass...) She told me on Thursday night that she had to go to town on the morning of Friday and would like to have breakfast together. I agreed, of course (got partners' company for breakfast, why not??)

Friday, 12:10am, I received a text message from her. She wished me "Happy 2nd month anniversay, my princess! Kisses!...." I was smiling silly to myself. I thought she had forgotten. Therefore, I did not expect her to text me. Hehehe.. I replied to her that I was surprised and had thought she had forgotten. And replied again thereafter that she couldn't, for it was only our 2nd month together! *Grin* *Smile* [looks silly ;P]

I was wondering what should I get her for our 2nd month anniversary. Yes, of course, I did give away some hints for I called her and asked her what was it that she doesn't like in her chocolates. I got no choice lah - after seeing her almost puking her guts out the last time round when there was a hint of almond in the chocolate piece she placed in her mouth. Aiyo! I did not want that to happen again. Especially so since we are going to a special place for dinner. (yeah, it's a expensive one. and I was praying hard to myself that we wouldn't have any arguments...)

I almost skipped my 1.5 hours lunch on Friday. I walked through the shops in Caltex House, the Arcade, OUB Centre and the Raffles Exchange to look search for the specific and / or particular items I needed. I wanted to give her something slightly different. I walked and I looked. I peeped and I scouted. Finally, with a little help from a very nice gal, I received some suggestions and approvals and put my plan into action. I went to 3 different shops to get the stuff. I had picked up a very nice dark brown PVC leather box with brown tissue and a goldish brown ribbon, 20 chocolate truffles and pralines and 2 lovely red and milky white roses.

I had the company of Serena during my haircut at Far East. Thereafter, Serena left me to have my romantic dinner with my partner. Whilst walking to the venue, I called my partner at least 4 times. None of the times was it answered. Hmmm.. I was getting really impatient, for it was already 8:00pm and we were obviously late for our dinner. I was wondering, where on the planet is SHE??!!?? At this time of the night, why didn't she answer my calls. She not kan chiong meh? Aiyooooo...

When my partner finally answered my call, she told me to take the escalator up to the 4th level. I was annoyed and asked her why didn't she answer my calls. She said that she was in a hurry for she was already late - hence, she had to head straight up to the restaurant first and asked me not to be angry and to hear her heavy breathing for she was panting. Blah Blah Blah..

I walked right in to the restaurant and scanned my tiny eyes for her waving hand. I spotted her. I smiled a half-hearted smile at her and placed my stuff on the other chair. Took a deep breath and looked out of the window. I had decided that it's just a little hiccie. And it's not worth the anger nor the night. We both looked at each other and smiled, after placing our orders. She apologised for being late and for making me go un-escorted. She then asked me about my hairdo. I turned my head around to show her. A while later, "Happy 2nd Month Anniversary, Darling." was uttered. I smiled at her and said the same. Then, I presented her the little brown box to her. She didn't open it up right away and said she would do so later.

After our soup, I asked her again if she was going to open the box. Of course, I knew my hint was obvious and being the clever woman that she is, she would already have guessed what was in the box. Anyway, that was not my concern at all for it was the presentation in the box that I was more concerned about. I asked her to take a picture of it (haha.. you guys must be wondering which web-site did she get that beautiful picture from, right??). She loosened the ribbon and opened up the lid, she stared at it for a while, smiled to herself, closed the lid and said to me in a stern and grouchy face, "Darling, there is one flavour in there I do not like, I don’t like THAT flavoured chocolate but I think you will. You can have that."

I was REALLY puzzled by what she said for I gave specific instructions to the guy over at the counter what I wanted. Hmmm. Okay.. Nevermind... I took the box and opened the lid. I stared at the chocolates for a while before my eyes caught sight of something amongst them. It was...... It was...... It was a pendant!! A heart-shaped (almost like a kidney bean from Tiffany's) pendant! I picked it up with care (careful not to poke nails into the chocolates) and looked at it and at my partner at the same time. If only I could SCREAM!!! Oh my gosh....!!! She bought me a pendant!! I had never thought she would do something to suprise me like that. I never expected it at all. I am really touched and happy.

I thanked her and kept asking her thereafter how did she manage to buy it. We're together everyday. Where does she have the time to go and buy it? The only time possible (after thinking and wondering and thinking and thinking) was perhaps 30 mins prior to our dinner date.

I asked her how did she manage to put the pendant and chain into the box - all without me noticing. Hmmm.. How lovely can she be.... Awwwwwwwwww....

She told me that the chain is not mine. The chain I was to have is at home. She forgot to bring it out with her earlier. So, she had to use her own chain to hook it with the pendant first. When we get home, she would exhange it with the one meant for me.

The chain - it was a gift from her granny. It has been with her for like 20 years? I am wearing the Lim's family heirloom.......!!

I love you, darling.. Happy 2nd Month Anniversay....
