:come into Dr Love's little world:
These few days, I can't help but had my mind on the day 4th July and what is going to happen. Thousands, even millions, of things ran thru my mind, the events that lead to it, the waiting time I have to endure till now. My mind, locked in the past, from the time everything started, my sec sch, JC, army, Uni and working life, all I could think of is the past... Somehow, I dunno why... Like many, I wish I had a remote control like Adam Sandler in CLICK, go back to the past as and when we want, slow things down when things are going good, pause and give that irritating someone a slap in the face... Many happy memories went thru my mind... sweet ones... and the ones which i did some really stupid and silly things jus to bring a smile to that special someone of mine... Swenson's Sticky Chewy Chocolate, A special pair of Nike running shoes, My xiaogui and xiaoxiaogui, Sentosa's Pink Dolphins... "I dun wan army".... "You like me is it?"... "Are you hungry? I go cook noodles for you"... "Am I fat?"... one by one, these are great memories, which will bring a smile...
All I wish is that everything will go well... Like one of my dear fren... 4th July is independence day... hopefully it will be for me too... Wish me well my Friends... And I thank you for all you guys and gals, for the support at any point of time which I feel down... Especially to Agnes and Claud which listen to my initial outbust of IT...

Unlike other car wash, this place takes their job a lot more seriously. They will first rinse the car once... then wipe it clean... then use a special solution to clean the sports rims... then the usual foam and wipe.... before the last rinse... the whole process took 15-20min... so if u are thinking of going there on weekends, be prepared for a queue!!! I once waited 1 hour for my turn... but well worth it... if u are those too lazy to wash your own car... CHEERZ...
"If you and I were married, I would want to give you what you need.
I don't see what's wrong with that, taking care of a woman. She takes care of you"
"I want you to get swept away out there
I want you to levitate
I want you to sing with rapture and dance like a dervish
Be deliriously happy"
"Love is passion, obsession, something you cannot live without
Someone to fall head over heels
Some to love like crazy and love you back"

I love this song... It is a classical and one of the greatest hits ever to hit the 80s' ROCK scene. Pardon their ridiculous hairstyle... haha.... some parts of the lyrics is actually quite cheesy... "I'd steal the sun from the sky for you" ... "I'll be the water when you get thirsty baby"... " When you get drunk, I'll be the wine".... But the song is still one of the nicest rock ballet. I still remember dancing to this song with my 1st gf during JC... Enjoy !!!!
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love its suicide
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance girl
Chorus :
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
Well I can't promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your Valentine ...
I'll be the water when you get thirsty baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
Chorus
I wasn't there when you were happy
And I wasn't there when you were down
Didn't mean to miss your birthday baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
Chorus
Anyway, those of u who dunno my msn's practice, if i m "away", then I am not ard... if I am "busy", then I am in, but doing something, eg. playing game... if I am "online" means I am ard... and available for chats...
On the contrary, a joke from my boss today which he read from the papers
"For women who complaint abt the World Cup, come on, it is once every 4 years and it only lasts a month. Shopping is once every 4 days, and it lasts a lifetime."
Went to SPE to shoot some hoops after our Queensway walk... It has been abt a mth since the last time I shoot some basket... I must admit, the "feeling" is gone... Somehow, shooting a basketball is a very instinctive thing to do... The flip of your wrist, the forward motion of your shooting arm, the "release" action of your supporting arm, the height of the ball... all these are important with reference to the chances of your ball going through the hoop... I remember last time when I lost the "feeling", I will just keep shooting foul shots... and today I did the same... After abt more than 20 attempts, suddenly on one attempt, the "feeling" just come... I dunno how, but it came back... The instinctive motion of the body just took over... then the shoots keep going in... and slowly, even the other shots, 2-pointers or 3-pointers, started to fall as well... The "feeling" is back !!! And it felt good...
Somehow, this episode with basketball reminds me of the chemistry and passion of a relationship... You may not have touched a basketball before, but once you got hold of it, keep shooting, the "chemistry" between you, the hoop and the ball just instinctively come... Of coz, some of these chemistry are deeper than others... The same goes with relationship... You may not see that someone ever in your life, but somehow, sometime down the line, you felt something... It may not be perfect, but it is enuff to keep your passion going, arouse your interest, enuff for you to spend time on it... and somehow, this chemistry goes so strong that there are connections at times... connections where you spend hours chatting and nvr feel like stopping... thinking abt the same things without even saying it out at the same time... having similar reactions to a situation in front of you...
And over time, this passion, or chemistry is gone, or faded... due to work, lack of communications... BUT as long as attempts are made, the connections, the chemistry will be re-established... and for some, it could even be stronger than before...
This is my version of chemistry... What is yours?
One of the main topic for discussion we had is the Importance ot Chemistry. Something which I talked abt in my previous entry. Well, I think Chemistry is important as well. BUT it should not supersede everything else. Can you imagine hving a partner who is a jerk and the other good thing abt him is the Chemistry between the two? In the first place, how do you define this unknown mix of Chemistry in the first place? Here is my mix of Chemistry - 1) Ability to get along : You know there is usually some pple whom you can carry on talking and chatting for hours although you have spent tonnes of time together? Think abt this, if you and your partner are old and retired, it helps alot if u two can chat alot. (50%) 2) Ability to think alike in some situations : This, I think, usually comes with understanding. When two people knows each other more, they tend to understand more abt how this person thinks in certain circumstances, even covers likes and dislikes of a person. (20%) 3) Common opinions in life : This could be pretty important in life. It usually boils down to how a person handles adverse situations esp when faced by a couple. (15%) 4) Common interest : To me, having SOME common interest is important. This can usually spices up the couple's lives during the course of time. (15%).
What is your mix?

(0) comments The Dark Horses coming through


In my previous entry abt WC, I named Spain, Argentina, Ivory Coast and Netherlands as the dark horses. Well, here they come... esp Argentina... a 6-0 thrashing for Serbia and Monte. Let me try to analyse a couple of these teams.
Argentina : This team, I think, is one of the darkest of dark horses. Like Spain, they do not have a "superstar" status player. The one thing they are better than Spain is the abundance of playemakers. Riquelme, is the first team playmaker, and Aimar and Messi on the bench. They dun seem to have a problem breaking down stubborn defences, and create chances, unlike England. Playemakers are the leaders on the team, so it is important to have a good one. The depth of their bench is as incredibly strong, even comparable as Brazil's. This depth could play an important part in latter part of the tournament when suspensions come into play. Teams like England and even host Germany might have difficulties playing their usual games if important players are suspended, but not Argentina. One of the negative factors for this team is the lack of height and aerial power in defence. This could prove to be a deciding factor against team strong in the air.
Frankly, I am also one of the guilty parties actually... Of coz, compared to the famous duo in my workplace, Jeremy Tan and Jeremy Sim, my "aeroplanes" are not as big and as often as theirs. And more often than not, it is becos of the missing "ideal" situation I mentioned above. If only we had more than 24 hours a day, maybe we will not fly so many aeroplanes. We can meet all our friends, for hours and hours, and yet have time to spare for tea, sleep and playstation.
4th July, it is the day of Independence Day of the United States. Ironically, it will be the day when my case goes to court. If the signs are good, then it will also be the day that I am "free". Friends, pray for me, please...
I received my money in my VM card from AT today. Yes, ALIENTRUST, aka AT is BACK!!! I have been investing in them after the scampay issue in Feb. And I have got back my $1000 priniciple sum and more than that now, ehrm, a new handphone and a phuket trip to be exact. After problems in Egold and scampay at different times, they have managed to survive. This comes to show how strong their foundation is. I also put in some small amount in 13dailypro and dynamic profit, from recommendations by Nicholas. I just finished my 1st cycle with 13dailypro, and true enuff, they paid within 24 hours, thumbs up !!! Dynamic profit has been paying to the account, but I hvnt tried withdrawing into my egold yet. We will see how it comes, but 13dp looks set to become another 12dp, which was only brought down by scampay. I shall wait and see for a while, to see if it is worthwhile investing more.
Do you believe in horoscope? Sometimes in the moring, when I am doing some fast surfing abt soccer news, I will pop by the yahoo horoscope, just for the fun of it. This is what it reads for me in short, "There's some bad news coming, but if you look at its essence, you'll see some hope." Strangely, I got a great news in the morning instead when the AT money comes in. After a long tiring day, a hall fren told me news abt my ex and the third party, something which shows that they are now together. I dunno whether it is a bad news, but somehow, I think the news in the morning was sufficient not to allow this info to dampen my spirits today, hee... Some time ago, I actually looked up the net for some info on star signs. It is quite interesting, esp when the characteristics seems to match, well, to a certain extent. Some also said that if your birthday is close to another starsign, you might have the characteristics of that starsign too. This is one link which I found to be most comprehensive. If you are interested, click here. On the other hand, one of my colleagues, has become something of a Feng Shui master. He can read the 8 pillars pretty well. The last time he did one for me, he told me a couple of things, I must find someone who is willing to give, and have some water elements coz I got too many earth elements. Hmm... chinese vs western... which to believe? haha... Here is one link for Feng Shui if you are interested, click here.
After two slots of training today, I got two more tomorrow. Hopefully I dun get a maxed-out slot like my second today. Lucky I came out with it alive. Sianz... Enjoy the WC guys !!!!
Anyway, went to Caesars to catch the England-Paraguay match, with two different group of frens... England, as usual, does not look impressive, esp going forward... But Paraguay were pretty cautious in defence, and really defend in numbers... England as usual, rely on set-pieces, to cause problems. However, this could be vital in knock-out stages. We shall see...
Got something off my chest recently... though not the best method to, at least I got it out... and now, to move on... Sometimes, u just wan to say something... Just like recently, there were a lot of unhappiness in office and one of my colleagues sent out a mail to address his... and there were some decisions and finger pointing for some movement problems, and difference in opinions between "need/have to" vs "prefer to"... I think sometimes, u cant expect pple to bend backwards for your preference... and words got to be delivered with caution... words got to be delivered with my tact and not let go without thinking what people are thinking and feeling at the same time... This is EQ!!!! but i tink some pple just have ZERO... tat's y not much pple to help when help is needed... Cheerz...
Was chatting with a good fren jus now... Perhaps another option of going to China to work... I guess with the current trend of early release, pple like me are looking for more options to weigh the pros and cons of them... Overseas vs Local, freelance vs employment... lots of thoughts, one decision... long way to go...

Great start to the World Cup, 4-2 in the opening match, and victory to Germany. As I had mentioned in previous entry, Germany is not to be underestimated. From the play last night, Germany showed lots of promise in doing well in the tournament. Their Defence, though remains a suspect. Having not produce any world class centre backs in recent years could be the stumbling block for them to win this WC.
Anyway, we got into a "work" discussion... Interesting, and definitely reminds me again why I enjoyed being in this dept so much, and glad I m not in other dept... we even talk abt the current trend of pple leaving the organisation... And at the end of it, my conclusion is "To Each His Own". Unlike Dino and Becks, I still got 3 years to go... this yr is World Cup, I can even go past the 2008 European Championship before I can smell the end of my bond... yah, it is that long, go figure it out... haha....
Ok, let me give my personal world cup prediction...
As usual Brazil... The old analogy of Brazil not being able to win in European soil during WC, may be true. But could it happen? The last time WC is in Europe was 1998, when France beat them 3-0 in the final. And Mr Ronaldo, one of their form and key player, had a sudden fit and did not make it to the match. This time, they had a lot of "go to" players... players like Ronaidinho, Kaka and Ronaldo, who can take a match with a moment of Magic. So this time, I see them making at least the semis...
England : A lot of pple said England is OVERRATED. I totally agreed. However, I think two of the key advantage of England is FORM and FATIFUE. Fatigue becos many of their starting players had a full season with their clubs... Owen, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Rooney... on the other hand, their other players like Gerrard, Terry, Lampard, Neville, Crouch, are all having one of their best and most consistent seasons with their clubs. These two factors could make England a surprise this WC. I expect them to be in the semis too, if not, the Final.
Germany : Being the host nation, u can never underestimate them... esp a country like Germany, who had won more WC than most countries other than Brazil. Germans are precision engineers, their style of play resembles their country's culture... No mistakes at the back, capitalised on opponents' mistake. This careful approach suits the current international soccer, as proven by Liverpool and Proto in the recent CLs, even Chelsea in EPL, Greece in the last European Championship (2004), and by Germany themselves in the 2002 WC, who made it to the Final and lose to Brazil.
I expect the surprise teams to be Spain, Ivory Coast, Argentina and Netherlands. Spain has been branded an underachieving team for the past decade or so. With an easy group, they could be able to obtain the much-neededconfidence to go further into the knockout stage this time. Ivory Coast is a fast team, much like the Senegal in 2002. They are hungry for success and the existing teams players are mostly plying their trade in Europe already. Argentina and Netherlands are highly rated by me because of the change in culture. In the past, "reputated players" are usually the ones who got called up for tournaments like this, this is despite the loss of form with their clubs and even lack of match practices. However, their respective coaches have gone with the policy of "you perform with your club, you get picked." To me, reputations are crap... because who said a famous player cannot perform badly. Players who are on form, and consistent, are players filled with high confidence. And being a less known in the international stage, they will be even more hungry to perform.
This is a retro show... I used to rush back Hall on Sunday just to catch this show... enjoy this finale match... and last two episodes...
To all Liverpool Fans, Adidas is back with us...

(1) comments Going overseas to Reside and work?
Anyway, was telling Shulin abt my thoughts of going overseas to work... Long ago, I had a conversation with Dino, and he actually thought abt going over to HK to work before... After Becks and I went to HK with HF, we had that thought too... Then a couple of days ago, was talking to a friend who is residing in Aust now... and I had the thought of going Aust to work as well... Of coz, a lot will depend on what happen 3 years later... and also whether I got a gf by then... As far as I hope my next gf is my lifelong partner, I first got to find one first... haha... anyway, if no one wants me by then, I think the overseas option could be very real and worth considering... oh well, all is too early to say...
Was watching the soccer match... and was wondering abt how referee conduct themselves in matches... as opposed to life... Hmm... let me elaborate abit more... some referrees made mistakes in matches, lousy whistles on fouls... tat's the nature of the game, when the whistle go off, the game have to stop... so referee tends to carry on with their "mistake" judgement and carry on with the game... now here is the burning question, do u blow the whistle in the opposite direction for a similar case to EVEN things out? or do you carry on with the game as if nothing took place? I myself have referee-ed an entire soccer tournament during my term as the Sports Sec in NTU... and frankly, I tend to go for the latter... I do admit I DID go for the former a couple of times... but I tink personally, I will for the latter more...
Now, bring that over to Life... do you try to correct a mistake which you have done? Or leave things as it is and try to learn from it? Ok, of coz, that is assuming that the mistake you have done is CORRECT-ABLE... I think it is a "chaim" question... considering the number of mistakes we tend to make in our lives... Like example, if you had wronged someone, then will you go and apologize? or some of your actions caused this person to suffer some hurt or even as slight as inconvenience, do you perhaps do something, or even buy a small "thank-you/I am sorry" gift to this person? I guess, there is still a lot of factors to be considered... Anyway, if every mistake is reversible, then the world will probably be a much nicer place to live in...
saw this MTV on cable... very nice... so dear readers, enjoy... :)
I miss my bikes... I used to have the bike shown below, Honda NSR SP150... But can't really ride a racer for long due to my old back injury, so ended up selling it for a chopper... 

Frankly, I must admit that I am not one of those pple who feared loneliness... to a certain extent, I do enjoy the "Me" time sometimes... like watching NBA/soccer/DVDs at home... Jogging along ECP... Riding round Singapore, which I did thrice... or just staying in my room/hall room play PC games... or even watching TV... Think that explains why I have so many DVDs and games in my room, haha... A fren once complain to me that the bf is always busy... and can't accompany her... I guess I won't have that kind of problem if it happens to me... hee... Of coz, some company would be good... of coz, there are activities which I prefer to do with company...
Remember some time ago, I mentioned abt a fren who mentioned that he may "hai4" the next gf he had... and probably afraid to go into a relationship... Perhaps I am as well... Spending some "me" time allows me to see my past and think abt the future... it is strange when you lost someone/something, then you started thinking abt what exactly went wrong... whose decision was it to end it, what was it that caused the decision... More often that not, our lives revolves around the word "choice"... the decision to forgo something for something else... taking risks by opening up emotionally... shutting yourself up to eliminate any possibility of a heart-break or, on the other hand, a great future... all these are choices... decisions made... If only the world is simple enuff that everything is pre-determined beforehand... then things will be simpler...
Met a really really old fren, he is a hall-mate cum bball mate... chatted for abt half an hour... I loved meeting old frens sometimes... Bring back alot of fond memories... the days when we rest along the corridors after bball team practices... the late supper with huge huge pot with 12 packets of instant noodles... lots of TCSS in rooms when he wanted to go after my ex's roomie... the countless winning eleven duels we had... oh manz... great memories... those were the fun years...
