How time flies! It seem like only yesterday that we had a good meal at Suntec.
I admit this year has been a bit mild, what with our friend's pregnancy and my pathetic financial condition. Think we didn't even have an official celebration, other than that visit to Ikea.
Despite this, my responsibility towards you hasn't changed, which is to provide for you and to love you. In tough times like this, I feel it in my blood even more, that I can't let you down.
And I won't.
On this special day, I want to dedicate a special song to you, one that I like a lot. Despite it being 10 years old, the lyrics are valid for eternity.
今生注定
高:现在你心里想什么
王:现在你心里想什么
能不能就写在眼眸
告诉我
在这沈默的片刻
让我们用心灵交流
如果爱情烦恼真的太多
或许心事都交给我
合:为你耽忧
对我来说也是快乐
合:不管有多少真心多少爱被错过
有了你我已经别无所求
用半生紧紧相守换取承诺
什么话都不必再说
喔......
总以为曾经付出曾被爱伤害过
这世上只有我对爱执着
直到我慢慢感受你的温柔
才了解
今生注定与你相守

Matters of the Heart
Poor SJ.
Think she has encountered one baddie too many. These bloody assholes are giving us 30-somethings a bad name!
But I guess it's all part of growing up. At different stages of our lives, we are faced with different obstacles. The challenge is to rise above all and to live to tell.
To help alleviate some pain, I phone-ordered a box of Godiva for her. The guy on the other line damn funny. My message to accompany the gift was: To My Sista: Cheer Up! He called me to ask if should be spelt as 'Sister' instead. Hello??!! A bit lame that it's a gift for her and yet she has to pick it up, but well ...
On a related note, FF had an entry on this and I left a comment. Thereafter SJ also left a comment, followed by FF's. Fancy seeing myself next to the 2 ladies whose blogs I regularly read!

Singapore Fireworks 2006
Update 12 Sep 2006:
Went to see fireworks again, this time near Esplanade. The whole experience can be summed up in 4 words:
LIM PEH KUA BO!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were eating at East Coast when we decided that we will risk the crowd and see the fireworks.
There were many possible places to go, but I chose Marina South. The parking was so packed! Being the smart aleck that I am, and with 2 minutes more to go, I parked on the pedestrian pavement.
Shortly after, the fireworks started. I must say the place we stood wasn't too bad. Other than the low level fireworks that were blocked by the trees, the rest were ok.
While taking photos of the fireworks with my mobile phone, I noticed that many people were doing likewise. I took a shot of them, but the photo turned out crappy. Whatever.
When the show finished, Wifey and I almost ran back to the car, hoping to avoid the crowd. To our bewilderment, a Malaysian car had parked at the exact place where the pavement slopes down to join with the road. There was a car that parked behind me, and both of us were effectively locked-in. For the next 20 minutes, we waited and waited, with passing cars watching us. Felt like a bloody circus act. They must be thinking: Ge kiang lah, ge kiang lah!
I tried to look for other "launch sites", but to no avail. Finally, the car behind ours decided to do a 3-point turn, and head back the other way. We followed suit, finally relieved of our confines, only to be confronted with another 15 min of jam.
Grrrr!
