kopi-Carnation?

hahaha... perhaps some of u might have ald known, but i kinda slow so i only knew this like yesterday...

actually found out the real meaning behind the C in the Kopi-C or Teh-C dat we always order, or at least i order one la.. hahaha... it's actually because of the brand of the evaporated milk "Carnation" dat led to this short form... hahaha... wonderful right? for those who dun drink tea or coffee, it's cos instead of adding condensed milk like normally, ppl want evaporated milk and sugar instead... hence this term surfaced... hahaha... like many others too!!

one classic would be "tak kiu" which basically means Milo for those who dunno.. hahah... cos Milo has always been related to soccer on their advertisements outside of their cans and all... hahaha.... =)

learnt something interesting and new again!! hahha... dat's why i say it's always fun to attend my elective lectures...

so next time u go order a drink u can try calling for Kopi-Carnation instead ba!! hahaha!! =P

Me and I??

hahaha.... really really enjoying my elective this sem... anyone wanna take, if u're in NTU, go look up HS816: Understanding Singapore Society.. hahaha... damn funny.. provided it's the same lecturer la..

the biker has a name today, cos he finally decided to ask me in class and made me answer his question.. hahaha... "Who are you?"

interesting question right? got so many ways to answer this question... cos today we were talking abt pop culture and consumerism.. and we were talking abt the "Me" and the "I" in all of us...

"me" being the self that we wanna portray to the significant others in our lives.. and "i" simply being a reaction to the "me".... hahaha..... to put it simply, there's no true self in all of us.. and for those who have foolishly been thinking that there is a true self in us, one which is not affected by how others feel, dream on man... it's not gonna happen.. hahaha....

simply because subconsciously, we're always thinking abt how others will think of us, which eventually shapes how we behave and who we are...take some time to think deep abt wat u've been doing all these years... hahaha.... it does make sense!! =P

well, i actually went to catch High School Musical 3 for the second time the next night after i watch it first time.. hahaha... caught quite a few details i didn't notice when i first watched it... hahaha... crazy but since i nv pay for it so nvm lor.. hehehe...

High School Musical 3!

many will think i'm not the type to watch it.. WRONG!! hahaha.. i've been watching it since it's first season lor.. hahaha... i just love musicals!! from the classic Sound of Music and the original King and I.. aahhhh.... shiok...

well, the third installation feels good.. but no deep impression songs like the last two seasons.. however, the choreography is terrific!! of course there's the usual lover boy and girl dat superficial ppl will go for lor...

so if u're a fan of it, grab a few good frens who will scream and lol with u and go get the tickets ba!! =)

Listening , Learning, Sharing...

well, i guess not a lot of ppl will agree, but personally, i've found a purpose in my life here this time around... in fact many ppl are here to do jus dat... but probably in a different manner ba...

i'm here to spread the love!! hahaa...

nope... it's not jus BGR love dumb dumb... it's greater love... or wat we would normally term as 大爱... hahha... Chim right? wow!! nv knew i had it in me sia.. until i really took a close look reflecting back in my life, looking at wat i've been doing and everything then i realised wat it was all abt... shall not list them down cos it'll take a long long time sia... haha.... (buay hiao bai right?) hehehe....

but then again, i ask myself in the usual conflicting manner again.. where do i find all this big love coming from within me? hahaha... i see it as something dat everybody has, but in me, i found it earlier and decided to share it... many ppl use the love they have within them for different purposes, some use it for themselves, some use it for ppl they care for, while others like me, i share it with anyone who needs it and comes along the way...

dat's why many will think dat i'm always not caring for myself, but in fact, i am... cos seeing everyone grow, become happier, seeing things clearer in their minds, and learning their lessons in life is something dat fills my heart with more happiness than i can get from anywhere or anyone else...

then again, i'm only human...i too have my days of loneliness, and it sucks, but well, we learn to live with it... =P

this resulted in a shift in focus.. hahaha... i've so much to give everyone, but always so little for myself... hahaha... so it's high time to change it liao...

Yes... my life focus has begun to shift once more... working in secret to start making some changes liao... letting my inner self show more.. but dun worry, i'll still be around to continue listening, learning and sharing cos dat's still wat i do best..

cos dat's the true me... =)

Happy Birthday Mama!!

Jus last week, the family got together to celebrate mama's 61st birthday.. the second since the discovery... in typical fashion, we attracted quite a bit of attn cos when everybody got together, it was a big group of 19... hahhaa.... split into two tables... got my sister to take photos cos i was busy helping clear all the food from the children's table... hahaha..... and in the end she took photos of the children only.. hahaha.... here they are...


here's the two boys, Immanuel and Jonathan..


and the girls, Mei Yi, Jinghui and Mei Xian...


here's little Ella by herself at the adult's table.. =)


the two Sengs of the family, Koh Seng and Wee Seng.. hehehe....

then on 16th itself, i bought a small little cake to celebrate for mum when she returned from work dat night... hahaha.. something we've been practicing for quite some time in the past few years.. hahahaha.... dat night only got Mum, Dad, me and 5jie... hahaha... but i shall not put dat pic online cos she'll probably strangle me.. so i shall put my pic with mama!!

biker...

i'm now officially known as the biker in my socio lecture liao... many thanks to my lecturer who somehow miraculously managed to guess i was a rider out of the blue and eventually remembered me as that... hahaha...

esp when i returned to the LT after my break a little later and he declared to the entire class that "ok, the biker's back, so we may begin watching the show.." to start showing the video he wanted to play after the break... hahaha.... everyone turned around to look la.. hahaha.. so funny!! some more i was like seated in the middle of the class there.. hahaha...

but i always love attending this module's lectures... cos they are simply always so interesting and i'm always learning something new every week, be it perceiving things in a different way or gaining some new knowledge that i've not known before... hahaha...

will probably ask wat else he still teach... might jus join in his classes next sem too!! since i still got 2 more to clear.. hahaha... =)

harbour again!!

hahaha... it's the name of this template in case some dunno.. hahaha... jus changed it today cos the black from the previous one is seriously putting my mood down a little though i love the darker background actually.. hahaha...

well, in typical fashion, cos i'm still too lazy to find newer ones, i'm sticking to the standard ones provided lor.. hehehe... dun blame me k? wait till i am better able to manage my time then see how la..

how ironic... the guy who's supposed to be able to manage his time best in everyone's eyes actually in fact has a time management problem.. hahaha...

ok.. gotta go le.. still need to get some more things done while i'm still in the feel like working mode.. hahaha...

but i'm so excited today, cos i found someone who wants to go backpacking with me after graduation!! yay!! hopefully the trip will work out la.. =) more updates as they come.. hahaha...
