Declared Down in the last month of Year 2011

Last month of the Year 2011.


Hong Wei fell sick.
The usual coughing and sneezing of that running nose.

Thank you all for the concerns on Facebook, Twitter. Was on two days medical leave, will be back to work tomorrow! ( However still thinking if i were to attend the bbq event on Friday... should i go? )

There were a few of my friends, also falling sick..
To all of you out there, please take care and drink tons of water !!

侯湘婷 Angel Hou

How many of you actually know who is 侯湘婷 ? =)

Many years back, during my army days, i was lucky to win a pair of tickets(went with my girlfriend of that time) to a mini concert of her and 江美琪.

Both sang beautifully that evening.

At least a good 10 years past.

Where has she gone to?
Do you know?? =)




作詞：姚謙 作曲：柯肇雷

她住進了你心裡面 我的愛無家可歸
舊情歌戀戀的餘味 斷續在多夢的夜
就這麼過了好久時間 為什麼還偷偷想念
情書和相片已蒙一層灰 怪我們任性斷了愛的機會

當我又為你流眼淚 若你也為歉意失眠
絕望也許是最美的體會 讓我們記得曾愛過誰

你的選擇也許是對 她才是你的依歸
曾屬於我們的一切 就讓你一筆作廢
就這麼過了好久時間 為什麼還偷偷想念
情書和相片已蒙一層灰 怪我們任性斷了愛的機會

當我又為你流眼淚 若你也為歉意失眠
絕望也許是最美的體會 讓我們記得曾愛過誰

這是我為你流的淚 當我們已漸行漸遠
我知道回憶是一種愚昧 這一生只容我笨一回

My Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2011 (4th Dec 2011)

Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2011, my final 10km run of Year 2011. 

Without much training, i faced the run and was honestly walking towards the last 3km of the run.

The left knee felt pain. (Too much beer and wine. Hee..)

Good job, i still managed to jog through the final 100 metres of the race!

The "Human Jam" started early this year. 

We had to go through this narrow pathway of the steel bridge to get to the starting point. (Time taken : estimated 30mins+)

My run started 8am instead of the scheduled 7:15am. 

By the way usually there are entertainments along the route to motivate runners but this year, be it sexy belly-dancers, cute little girls cheering.. i din really see much of them this year?

Whatever it is, I happened to see this dressed in red "Chun Li" at the start point, whom i greeted : ” 美女，早! “ (In English : Good morning,babe!)

Overall, a good run!

Rewarded myself with this. 

=)

Lastly, do your best, enjoy and dont push yourself too much! The news just now reported of a 21 years old man died after completing the half-marathon.

Be safe, enjoy!

The Good Beer Company of Chinatown Complex Food Centre

That night, a few of us twitter friends gathered up at The Good Beer Company at Chinatown Complex Food Centre.

Located at Blk 335 Smith Street #02-58 Chinatown Complex, Singapore, Singapore 050335 , it was a great hang out for beer lovers..  as they are selling a range of premium and craft beers and ciders..

Beside it was a stall that had this very nice garlic steam fishhead..


And with my favourite claypot rice from another nearby stall...


The four of us, were so full !! =)

However this did not stop us from having the beer there.
Personally i took two. ( So little right? )





If you are interested in beer and would like to try out the many different kinds of beer they have...
Do gather a few friends and head over to Chinatown !

BookFest 2011

After sleeping half an Saturday away, i headed out with my friends, to Suntec City for BookFest 2011. 

It was an event by Popular, therefore there were books, and also stationary being on sale.

Was there last year, already expected the crowd, but this time was there on a Mission. 

It was really crowded that baskets for us to put what we wanted to buy were all being used up. (WOW.)

Saw this GIANT eraser, but then later found out it was actually the outer box for the smaller pieces of eraser.

 

And also this robot (Sorry i dont know what is this...), it was being displayed at the area selling some robot toys..

And after an almost 3 hours walking around the halls.. and 1 hour queuing to do the payment... these was what i bought. 

To reward ourself, we had 擂茶 for dinner !!

And, what was the Mission i was talking about ?

It was this !


To grab a copy of 那些年，我們一起追的女孩 (You Are the Apple of My Eye) !!
It was a great deal, going at SGD 5.90 ! (",)v

And while queuing to do the payment, i did catch a glimpse of the author : Giddens, 九把刀 who was there on stage.. =)

If you are interested, BookFest is from 18 to 27 Nov 2011.
At Suntec convention hall 601 - 603 !

戴佩妮 - 光著我的腳ㄚ子

It's been a busy week, feel so sleepy and tired, i slept half the Saturday away! =P

Penny Dai, one of my favourite singer and songwriter, has a new song !

Named, 光著我的腳ㄚ子, it also can be translated into "Baring My Feet". How comfortable it is to bear your feet and walk on the grass ? Come to think of it, nowadays do out kids or even ourself have more interaction with the nature?

Everyday, what we see are, concrete walls. =)

I feel her songs and her singing are really comfortable to listen to and you can just keep repeating it.

光著我的腳ㄚ子
詞曲：戴佩妮
導演：陳映之

我不煩 就算多了個牽絆
因為你給得很坦然
從不擔心 我要了怎麼還

我早已不管 就算別人喜歡看
因為我過得很自然
從不懷疑我要的很簡單

簡單就是覺得冷的時候求個溫暖
簡單就是寂寞孤單時候有人陪的晚餐
然後兩個人緩緩的掂起腳尖

我要光著我的腳丫子在街上漫舞
數著戀愛的樣子 一步又一步
左三圈的思路是右三圈的幸福
突然間我像小孩很容易滿足

我要踩著你的腳丫子盡情的跳舞
被你疼愛的樣子一幕又一幕
進一步是征服退一步是守護
你讓我看清楚 這旅途由你帶路

我早已不管 就算別人喜歡看
因為我過得很自然
從不懷疑我要的很簡單

簡單就是覺得冷的時候求個溫暖
簡單就是寂寞孤單時候有人陪的晚餐
然後兩個人緩緩的掂起腳尖

我要光著我的腳丫子在街上漫舞
數著戀愛的樣子 一步又一步
左三圈的思路是右三圈的幸福
突然間我像小孩很容易滿足

我要踩著你的腳丫子盡情的跳舞
被你疼愛的樣子一幕又一幕
進一步是征服退一步是守護
你讓我看清楚 這旅途~

我要光著我的腳丫子
我要光著我的腳丫子
我要光著我的腳丫子

Enjoy !

Taiwan Pineapple Shortcake in Singapore

Have you even eaten 鳳梨酥 or Pineapple Shortcakes from Taiwan?

They are nicely packed, a great gift for friends and relatives.
I also bought some while i visited Taiwan in July this year..

Today, while surfing around on Youtube, i came across this video.



It seems like Taiwan Pineapple Shortcakes are available in Singapore's Raffles Hotel !

My first thought : having a store at this place, the rental must be expensive and therefore the price of the items too.
Anyway, hope to see more Taiwan food here!

=)

那些年，我们一起追的女孩 after movie review.

After the post in September, i finally watched this movie today !

Reminded me of the school days..

Reminded us not to miss out the chance to confess to someone you like..

If time can go back in the movie, im hope the male character will confess to the female character, openly.. 

My favourite line :
我一直以為我自己是個超有自信的人，但那時我才發現，原來在喜歡的女孩面前，我是個膽小鬼。。。
(In English) "I always thought I was a super-confident person, but then I found, in front of the girl i like, I am a coward. . . "

Some other lines from the movie can be found HERE. 

A great movie.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.

Lyrics
大海真可怕 叫我水手 Oh oh come on come on baby
美人魚勾引我這招 卑鄙
Oh喊我 水手 Oh oh come on come on honey
我喜歡你勝過Money

船艙它是我的家 大海是我噓噓的地方
我對海鮮會過敏 吃素已很久
想當那歌手 結果變成水手
Oh oh～ 怎麼有點東北腔No no～ 去到太遠的地方
人家Popeye最愛吃菠菜 我卻愛清粥小菜再來點海帶

鈴不鈴不鈴 鈴不鈴不鈴 鈴不鈴不鈴 鈴不鈴不鈴
我的鬧鐘怎麼叫不醒我
喝不喝不喝 喝不喝不喝 喝不喝不喝 喝不喝不喝
林老師在喝牛奶

叫我 水手 Oh oh come on come on baby
美人魚勾引我這招 卑鄙
Oh喊我 水手 Oh oh come on come on honey
我喜歡你勝過Money

這些海鮮捕吃可吃
知不可吃 捕吃可吃 知不可吃可
不吃不吃不吃克制不吃土司 跟我學一遍來
[B Box]

我去海產店買魚蝦來放生 去水族館把魚通通撈走
只有一種魚撈不走 姓大名叫白鯊 大白鯊
船長說為了節能減碳盡量用手劃 有空就去甲板吸收太陽能
抹抹防曬 等著美人魚上鉤 Go

鈴不鈴不鈴 鈴不鈴不鈴 鈴不鈴不鈴 鈴不鈴不鈴
我的鬧鐘怎麼叫不醒我
喝不喝不喝 喝不喝不喝 喝不喝不喝 喝不喝不喝
林老師在喝牛奶

叫我 水手 Oh oh come on come on baby
美人魚勾引我這招 卑鄙
Oh喊我 水手 Oh oh come on come on honey
我喜歡你勝過Money

噓 叫我 水手 Oh oh come on come on baby
美人魚勾引我這招 卑鄙
Oh喊我 水手 Oh oh come on come on honey
我喜歡你勝過Money

叫我 水手 Oh oh come on come on baby
美人魚勾引我這招 卑鄙 大白鯊 Oh 喊我水手
Oh oh come on come on honey
我喜歡你勝過Money



Cute or not? =P

R.I.P 許冠英, Ricky Hui

HK comedy veteran Ricky Hui dies at 65 - Channel NewsAsia

Ricky Hui or 許冠英 passed away on the 8 November 2011, of a heart attack.



He was the blur, yet cute guy beside the Lam Ching-ying (林正英), who played the Master in 殭屍先生.
Lam died in 1997 of liver cancer, and also on 8 November. 

RIP, to both.

It seems like many of the stars of my generation or whom i know are dead. 

I am sad.
