Memories

Just went through some of my much much earlier blogs posts ( not that there's many anyway) and found that some of my promised posts are not in there

Hence, I decided for my own austerity, to record them here in a order to safe guard these precious memories. Who knows what will happen to the Internet in the next 30-50 years and if my posts can still be read.

These posts are especially for my daughter Inez, who ais suckling right beside me at the moment. However, this blog is about me and my thoughts and so when maybe I leave this world, my daughter will be able to tell my grandkids how lame their ah kong is

Revived Blog

It's time again to revive this blog, although I don't think anyone reads this nonsense from me these days. Main reason why I'm doing this is to maximize the use of my IPad 2

That's right, Jiew Hee and I decided to burn the rest of my bonus on this thing. Well, we claim that it's if more for Inez as Jiew Hee claimed that there's a lot of apps targeted towards kids and infants.

The main reason why I don't blog at all is the hassle of logging on the com every time I feel like blogging but with the nifty iPad, alll I have to do is the click on the app and blog away. Anyway I will be starting another blog to record Inez's cute but ultimately embarrassing moments so I can use the blog to hold her hostage,ensuring her good behavior

Back to the Motherland

Invasion of the Hives

As my close friends have known, this Sotong has been sick for quite some time. No its not H1N1 or anything contagious, but rather Hives or what the doctors call em - Urticaria.

This problem has been pestering for the last 4 months.
have taken Herbal medicines and unknown preparations like Stir fried Chives (Hives?) with sesame oil and bathing with rice wine. But the itch still persists and I often end up being a monkey instead, scratching here and there.

Anyway, preparations for the Seafood union (Sotong and Jiew Hee) is going pretty well, except for some kinks with respects to the family side. Still waiting on the ballot results from HDB though, although at closing, there have been 253 applicants for the 10 units available.....

What!!! 1 in 25 chances of getting the ballot, provided that we get it earlier or the rest of the 252 applicants don't choose the one we want... Still beats striking the Toto though.

Weddings, Babies and Exits

As, most of my ardent readers know (Meaning HQ you), I've proposed to Jiew Hee and finalizing on our wedding plans. How the proposal went can be read on Jiew Hee's blog, but I will post the play by play on a later blog, to remind ourselves 40 years later on how it actually went, assuming the world hasn't exploded or at least, this blog hasn't died went.

The month of September is surprisingly a productive months, meaning I know at least 4 new borns coming into this tortured wonderful world. Must have been a really rainy December we had last year 'wink wink'

Lastly, a lot of hoohah has been raised over the PRC who declared her partiotism while showing blue SG IC. From China's point of view, it is a very positive reinforcement on China development. However, as a Singaporean, I can't help but feel sad that SG is used as a stepping stones for so many, including Singaporeans.

Somehow, Singapore is not able to instill loyalty in its residents or citizens. I know many people who still return to their native country after accumulating their savings here is Singapore. Its not hard to imagine why, as ties of kin and kith is note easily broken nor childhood memories easily forgotten.

From reading the forums, Singaporeans are not really anti FTs but rather the lax ruling that Singapore govt has adopted to facilitate the ushering of the targeted 2 million PRs. I would think the plan and rationale behind the thought is solid, however, the execution is really bad. As per most government agencies, they are very focused on the figures and charts, but failed to take into consideration the aftermath. Its true that Singapore requires X amount of new blood to sustain Singapore's growth, but does that not mean that we need them to stay and not leave once their piggy bank is full.

Singapore government as been asking the citizens to accomodate these strangers into our shores, which I felt that we had been doing quite well, apart from some bias against Indians and PRCs.

I think i'll cut short here and continue later

Bo Liao Sotongus

Being super bo liao energetic tonite, Jiew Hee and I are joining the used to be atas thing to surf net in cafes.

Tml's on leave to attend jiew Hee Primary School friend ROM,so think will be staying up late today.

Anyway, yesterday met up with a credit card addict connosieur. The bugger knew every single unique benefit of approximately 15 credit cars that were shown to the panel.

Think tat's all for now, although I think I should be posting something tml while Jiew Hee is kooning. Mayb i take a photo of her slping face and post it up

Sick Sotong Dreaming of Dinosaurs

Its been quite a lousy year for me so far.
Have used up more than half my MC allotment by July this year.

Its not that I'm chao kenging or want to tuang, but my body seems prone to infections all year round. Have been genuinely sick (although my family don't believe me).
This shows that doctor friend=easier mc=kengster, which I'm one not

Currently having another sore throat and coughing has been keeping me awake. More importantly, that's why I'm blogging so early in the morning as I'm remaining outside the bedrooms so I dun disturb Jiew Hee from sleeping.

Caught ICE AGE 3 DAWN OF THE DINOSAUR big hoohah 3D at the expense of extra $3.



The film was not bad, the characters, especially the babies were waay too cute and sure to have many merchandise coming out. The story plot was not bad, but its a rather "boy" film as Manny the Mammoth and friends went against the odds to save their friend Sid the giant sloth.

Many scenes involving the psychopatic obsessed Scrat and the ever present acorn and Sid's new family is sure to have the entire family doubling in laughter. However, as I watched the 3D film in Tampines GV, the whole experience was a mere so-so. Not really worth the extra $3. Futhermore, I felt my eyes were straining quite a bit at the end of the movie

All things said and done I give the movie 3.5/5 due to standard plot, ok action sequence but max cute factor.
