materials:
a cane – yes, i really got him a cane. omg, which gf does this?! wicked humor. note: please be assured, i wont cane him !
papers – wrote messages
tape – stick the papers on the cane
ribbon – tie it right at the top
spray paint – silver cane coz brown is boring.. !

the idea:
the original idea was something different yet similar (sorry, i cant reveal!)
we always tease each other ‘i cane you! wanna cane me? don’t cane me?” tot tat this is sucha funny idea. i had a good laugh buyin the cane and amazing, it look good / interesting.
note: admiring my own creation.

total cost:
$4. so proud of myself.

duration:

note:
never underestimate the power of left-handed, we are indeed creative or i’m simply full of shit or ideas (dependin on your point of view)

5 animals

June 20, 2009 | groove

once in awhile, i received character-analyse-emails.. as if I dunno myself well! still. i play for the fun of it.. free enough to blog abt it.

here one:

put the following 5 animals in the order of your preference:-

Cow, Tiger, Sheep, Horse, Pig

girl’s answer. tiger, horse, sheep, cow, pig

this will define your priorities in your life:-

Tiger Signifies PRIDE (reason: i choose tiger for its strength, for being the king of the jungle )

Horse Signifies FAMILY (reason: in terms of strength, next to tiger)

Sheep Signifies LOVE (reason: soft, furry animal. this is third on my list)

Cow Signifies CAREER (reason: i want pig to be the last, so this is the fourth. haha )

Pig Signifies MONEY (reason: i don’t like pig)

surprise

surprise !

what’s yours? have a good wkend. 😀

… life is short…

This is a story lifted from somewhere… Very touching…

————————————————————————–

The girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21 . Next to her, her fiancé, Nick, 23. The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US . Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication. In the picture, Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of chemo to end.

In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss.

An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that Katie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well. The other couple in the picture are Nick’s parents. Excited to see their son marrying his high school sweetheart.

Katie, in her wheelchair with the oxygen tube , listening to a song from her husband and friends .

At the reception, Katie had to take a few rests. The pain did not allow her to stand for long periods.

Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think…..

Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts .
We should stop making our lives complicated.
Life is short
Break the rules
forgive quickly
love truly
laugh constantly
And never stop smiling
no matter how strange life is
Life is not always the party we expected to be
but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.

my time’s up?!

June 19, 2009 | groove

A 54 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she had a near death experience.

Seeing God she asked “Is my time up?”

God said, “No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live.”

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair color and brighten her teeth!

Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.
After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.

While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded,
“I thought you said I had another 43 years.
Why didn’t you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance..?”

God replied: ……….
“I didn’t recognize you laa……”

have a fun friday ! 😀

what?

whats up? whats with the chim-tots?

yet i am intrigued.

check out this link.

oh man. you can practically shop for social escorts online! how ‘awesome’ is that. duh.

first came to know abt this trade via this book – Invisible Trade by Gerrie Lim. btw there’s a Invisble Trader II.

his book opened up a whole new world to me. huh? u mean things like that happened? sg? omg ! and den i go on to read abt the acts, the girls, the monies, the whys.

morally, i have comments on social escort. yet who am i to comments on their lifestyle? rich man / woman pay, services provided. as simple as that.

the norm issue again. who define the rights / wrongs.

i can agure with myself until the cows come home or rather i met guy for dinner. there wont be any conclusion. so i shld end off with plain & simple tots: it’s not right selling yourself for monies but it your life. ruin it or live it. hey you get to decide.

i’m outta here.

my twin

June 17, 2009 | groove

say hi to jie.. the face , the smile, the height – more hints?

my twin.

minhui-and-minying

look again. img_3817jie

physically we do look alike, we sound alike over the phone, we shared lotsa small gestures, the way we laugh, the way she tug her hair, she is so-me. haha

she’s the only one who can complete my sentence & the one who can read my mind. smts we just have to give each other ‘the look’ – the 9 mths together helps.

its not a walk in the park having a twin sis. we fought when we r kids, pulled at each other hair (jie – im sure u r smiling at this !) we bite each other, i toture her bear, she dump my bear into the rubbish chute ! kor had to rescue our bears. haha yet we look after each other in school.

as adults, we chat late into the nite, we giggle, we tok abt bfs, i woke her up when my tummy ache, i cry on her shoulder when shit happens, she gave me hugs, i laugh at her when she tok in her dreams, she pray with me when my hamster die, she shared with me abt christianity. (fyi – she the only christain in the family) she’s the one who taught me to say ‘love u jie’

it interesting having someone who is so similar to you yet different – diff religion, diff taste in bf ! haha. diff chara. how is that possible?! wonders of the world.

lastly – can i praise my parents here? =) they set alot of good examples of how a family should be – sharing, laughter, deal with problems together. i like it when dad say something & i can hear mum giggle. i like it when they tok late into the night, even though it gossip! haha ! i like it when they go singing every wkend. of coz, they have their share of ups & downs, which couple don’t? but from them, i see how a marriage could last for 20 years.

sweet.

PS – are you surprised by this posting? after reading so much abt me & my love. i always tok abt my family but seldom blogged abt them… i am what i am coz of them…

… girl’s talk …

June 17, 2009 | groove

went facial & my facial-girl & i start chattin abt work, food, life, bfs.

interesting.

lets name my facial-girl = “F”

f is attached, just brought a car with her bf & looking at houses. they have be dating for a year & yeap, of coz marriage is on the table. but f is still looking for better guy to come along. if a better man comes along – who can make her happier, provide her with a better life, buy her stuff, she gotta jump boat. as woman, we shld seek for the best.

i kept quiet. hello, my face is in her hand & i’m not gotta say anytink to pisses her off. but there’s notink to stop me from bloggin abt it. :p

i disagree with f. true. we want the best for ourselves but i never/wont agree with that view. u don’t jump boat coz u received a bigger LV bag. who/what do you marry? monies or the man? ultimately it your partner’s chara that matters izzit? let turn the table around, f’s bf jump boat if there a prettier girl that comes along. ah.

its never abt the monies, the car, the looks etc.. honestly what abt f herself? what is she contributing to the r/s that gave her the right to be choosy. yeap, one simple reason – coz we r human & we want the best for ourselves.

sorry. i still disagree.

guy said “love is a commitment” i believe in loving someone who is true to me, the standard needs comes into play – respect, understanding, trust etc etc same as previous, i don’t want to have all the monies in the world with no one to share with & feeling so empty inside. sad.

marriage vows ..will you love her, comfort her, honour and keep her in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, be faithful to her..

that’s what love is all about, izzit?

PS – way to go girl. trying to kill audience with my tots.

PPS – guy, i’m stickin to you even if u have only 50 cents left. 😉

Man’s talk – part 3

June 15, 2009 | guy

Hi, it’s co-blogger guy again… Yeah, man’s talk again… part 3

Met up with super duper long time old friends, primary 3 friends, 18 yrs of friendship?! Its been really long time we din meet up. A lot of things to catch up, we talk from 6:30pm to 11:00pm at TCC. I think a lot of pple is pissed coz we are hogging the table and there’s queue outside, keke.

Anyway juz share with u a bit of my friend’s story that is worth to learn from.

He’s a sign-on regular at the air-force. He picked up smoking since Sec 2, goodness, that is something i din know until that day! He’s quite a regular smoker since then. Once, hhe was sent to Australia for an exercise. He was to stationed at a hill top, bare piece of small land that is super boring, for a period of 4 days. He’s cigarettes could only last him for 1 day plus, so the 2nd, 3rd and 4th day is killing him, considering the place is so empty and boring and basically nothing to do.

On the 4th day, pple came up the hill to recover them back to base. He asked for cigarettes from them immediately. He squat at one corner, smoke the cigarette so hard, so intense, with eyes half-opened, juz like a drug addict. He said that even there’s a naked beauty in front of him, he will ignore. He smoke 2 sticks straight away. After smoking, he realised how addicted to smoking he is. He freaks out. He always thought that he is in control. The fact is not. The fact is scary.

After going back to camp, he gave away all his cigarettes, decided to quit smoking. From that day onwards, he didn’t smoke at all. I admire he’s determination.

Not everyone will see the need of quit smoking. He is fortunate enough to be in that situation in order to realise it, without a harm.

This post is specially for smokers, please quit smoking, stop being controlled, stop damaging yourself. It can be done.

joke of the week

June 12, 2009 | groove

A man checked into a hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife.
However, he accidentally typed a wrong e-mail address, and without realizing his error, he sent the e-mail.
Meanwhile….Somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned from her husband’s funeral.
The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting condolence messages from relatives and friends.
After reading the first message, she fainted. The widow’s son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I’ve reached
Date: 16 Mar 2008
I know you’re surprised to hear from me. They have computers here, and we
are allowed to send e-mails to loved ones.
I’ve just reached and have been checked in.
I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing you TOMORROW!
