It had been a gorgeous few weeks. Finally there’s a closure on my estranged marriage. That’s the focal point for the past weeks. Managed to get a lawyer and settle everything. He will do up the documents and the whole proceeding will take about 4 months @ about $3,200. This is only possible if your annulment/divorce is free of complications. Just relieved it’s settled after so long. What a ride…will think twice before blabbering off the “M” word.
Gorgeous will be an understatement for the events that went past. It’s MEGA TERRIFIC!! I had a blast of my life, doing things I enjoyed and with my pals. Partly becoz my mind is removed of this huge rock, and can truly relax. Phewww… :) Had many swimming sessions, and getting a good tan is important as well. Kekeke…
In the coming weeks, it’s filled with jammed packed activities. Here’s the schedule for your envy…kekkek :p
27th May: Laywer meeting & running with Soon
30th May: Teeth whitening & Granny’s birthday dinner
31st May: Race-pack collection for PAssion Run & Sundown Marathon @ 12am
7th Jun: Shopping with Serene!!
8th Jun: PAssion Run @ East Coast Park
15th Jun: Sentosa Getaway
Ta-dah!!! Looks kinda bare but trust me, I’ll make it packed as the week unfolds. I reckon in between there will be more swimming, running & gym!! Gym will be my new haunt. Gonna take a trial week with Planet Fitness with my protégé (my newest colleague), Jerry, under the tutelage of another colleague, Ivan (the gym buff). If the membership suits my wallet, may sign up and finally get the elusive 6-packs and a wider shoulders. Yippee!!
Looks pretty good from where I’m standing. Fun, friends and family. The 3 ‘F’s everyone must have to lead a meaningful life. Easy to say, difficult to accomplish. Just hope everyone out there can attain the same criteria as me and have a great life on Earth. Just remember the 3 ‘F’s go hand in hand. Once you savor the bitter sweet, you will never, ever let go. You will do your very best to make these 3 elements as close to heart as possible, for fear of losing your sanity. :p
Summer’s in and it’s time to plan fun-loving activities!! So, go out and have a SPLASH! Be WILD! Be SAFE!
Muuuuaaaccckkkk!!!!

Meeting Up
Had a morning swim and managed to cover 50 laps, until Charles came. Cut short my swim and head for lunch with him. Nice weather for the past 3 days and I’m very very grateful for that. THANK YOU BIG MAN!!! A nice sunny weather really maketh my day. Make my mood more cheerful and….ehhh…sunny!! kekek… :p
Then came the elusive sms from my girlfriend…Jo! Finally met up with her for tea @ TM. Wish I could give her a hug but people are watching, so I spared her the embarrassment. Hahaha…next time my dear ; )
Had coffee and jalan jalan at the malls. I would say, we had a great time talking and spilling our thoughts during the 2hr session. It’s like a crash course, and we squeezed out as much info for one another to update on our daily lives. Fruitful is the word. We manage to know the current affairs and what will be happening in the coming weeks…..so in case we don’t meet, AT LEAST we can pre-empt the end results. Hahahah… :p Anyway, it’s nice to see that girl’s face again.
p.s. you should really consider rebonding, but for your work commitment, it’s a pity you can’t. Then I guess, there isn’t much you can do, coz for most of the time, your hair will be bun-up.

The Big Reveal
As I predicted, it’s the year of break-ups. First, it was I. Then on Sat, I realized my sister had also broke up with her long time boyfriend too. It did come as a surprise, as they always seem to be in very good terms. The best part is, my sister is nonchalant about it. So, I guess it’s good news?!
The cat is out of the bag but it’s still kept contained within my household. My folks were very understanding but still being sad. It’s inevitable, and I totally understand their feelings. There’s been a whirlwind of thoughts ever since my confession, but finally (after 1 year) the rock is off my chest. It felt a huge relief but still a pity my marriage has to turn out this way. It’s been a long 3 years; from courtship to ROM to now, it’s a whirlwind romance and I never regret it. The only regret is that, she ever knew me. If I could turn back time, I wished we never cross path and her life would be better. That I know. Anyway, I’m just glad we’re proceeding to the lawyer soon and get this over with. It’s not cheap but it’s my undoing. I take full responsibility.
Ever since the big reveal, I’ll been proactive in searching new fashion and beauty treatments. First stop, teeth whitening. Already book my appointment @ Dental on the Bay next Friday. I know it will turn out gorgeous!! ; ) Finally book it since I saw it in Jan. With my bonus at hand, I reckon it wouldn’t be much left after I made my list…hahahaha…actually, after deducting the treatment and lawyer fees, half of it already gone. So, only half left…isn’t much to think of either, might as well save it. Gotta spend less these few months and try to save a bit.
There’s so much buzzing in the next few weeks, that I can’t stop myself from being high. Kekeke…there’s Sundown Marathon, Passion Run, Teeth Whitening, Sentosa Getaway…Gosh…it’s aplenty!!! :) There ain’t any events I can’t go and will not go..I’ll be there for ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cya there babes!! ; )

Wealthy Singaporeans
Just had dinner @ TM, and I saw hordes of people out dining. Maybe it’s becoz of Mother’s Day, but the queues are dragon length. Even the less popular eatery like Bali-thai is packed and a queue is formed. A phenomenon that seldom happened. The only thing I deduced is that people are getting wealthier and able to spend. It’s very much unlike the situation like the experts portrayed. US recession, oil price hike, food scarcity seems to be not affecting the locals. Everyone is spending and having a good time. Hmmm…I wonder what seems to be the problem. Is it becoz it hasn’t hit us hard enough or is our government been acting as a cushion for us to minimize the hardest impact from the global events?
Interesting thought…anyway I just feel good that my fellow countrymen are doing good and eating well. Nothing else matters for now.

Spend Spend Spend!!!
Ooh la la…!!! Finally made my way to get a Brazilian and waxing on my pits. It’s GREAT!!! But the stupid thing is, when I got home and check out Strip’s rates, it’s cheaper by 40%! SHIT big time man!!! But at least now I know where to go when the bush grows back again. Kekeke… :p
The past week had been the most amazing time EVER. In Shanghai, had my first ever full body scrub. My God, it left my skin yearning for more when I get back. Kekek…now I’m seriously thinking whether to sign up for any beauty salons. It’s damn shiok man. So smooth….awwww….it’s a sinful indulgence, but one that I can grow to love. :) Any recommendations? The full body massages and foot massage were good as well. It didn’t really make my muscles totally relax, but at least it’s soothing. There’s nothing more I can ask for in this trip. Fully paid spa treatments, entertainment and food, it’s the most relaxing holiday I ever had!!! All thanks to my supplier!!! Thank you Yan Jie!!! ; )
With the GSS on the horizon, it’s inevitable that the annual itch to shop is here again. But I already start the ball rolling by snapping up a pair of Rayban after my waxing session @ Penisula Shopping Centre yesterday. It wasn’t those stylo-milo shop, and that explains why the prices are cheaper than others. You can’t miss it when you enter at the front door. It’s really cool! My dad has it, and now it’s my turn. Kekek…the fashion has come full cycle. Besides that, I ALMOST bought a few pairs of Onitsuka Tigers, adidas and more Raybans! They are all calling out eagerly for me to buy them home….aaaahhhhh!!!! But thank God my brain won the battle, if not I would easily be $700-800 poorer. Proud of myself!! Kekeke.. :p
p.s. hope to rope in a few kakis for spa, then we can go together and have a great time…after that can go makan!! ; )

Shanghai trip turns out to be my turning point in life..
Back from Shanghai and I’m feeling great! More like a retreat than a business trip. Hahaha…work 1 day, play 3 days!!! That’s the way all business trips should be! The weather was great and cooling in the mornings and nights, so it was rather interesting and shiok. Only downside is the dryness. Had dried lips for 3 days, so on my next trip, have to bring along the lip balm. ;)
Had many eye-openers during this long trip. Made my virgin voyage to a KTV, massage parlor and foot massage. The former two are those with special service and it was fun! Though I did think back how degrading is it for the girls (and these girls aren’t Shanghai-nese!! They are from other provinces. The local girls are all in Singapore!!) to be in this line, so I didn’t go too far. Women in general, are treated rather badly (in my perspective), physically and morally. But at least in Shanghai, it’s still not that bad. Most are educated and feisty, so they know how to take care of themselves. But I can’t vouch for the rest of the provinces.
China is really experiencing a big change since the last time I went. Shopping malls, business towers, commercial offices are sprouting like mushrooms over the last decade and more to come. Posh living quarters are becoming a common sight in the scarce land of Shanghai. The most expensive apartment costs 110,000 yuan/sq mtr (S$20,000!!!). You do the math. And only 1 unit was sold since the day it launched. But in time to come, I’m sure it will be filled up very fast, especially the emergence of Russia and the Arab contingent.
If you’re thinking Stephen Chow’s character in Shaolin Soccer as a beggar in ragged clothes is funny, guess what…I saw a person donning those exact same torn and tattered clothes and shoes, and carrying his stuff, looking all scruffy and with his long white hair @ Shanghai. No joke!! There’re really very, very poor people but I can’t help them all. It really bugged me really bad when an old lady asked me for money and bread, and I didn’t give her. I nearly cried. I was afraid if I give her, all would come after me. If she can hear me, I’m really, really sorry about that. I wish I can lend a hand to her and all I came across, but I didn’t. Hope they make it through another day.
Through these events the past few days, I played a lot and think a lot. Both good and bad. Maybe it’s another turning point in my life. I can say that, in my 25 years on Earth, I’d experienced stuff my peers hadn’t; like marriage and divorce at the same time. It isn’t pleasant but I’m qualified to offer advice, should the need arise. I thought about how life should be simpler and family will always be there for you, no matter what. They will eventually forgive you and life goes on. There isn’t anything better than kinship. No one can ever replace that…not even your wife/husband.
I guess what I’m trying to say here is, enjoy your life alone first, before bringing in that special one. It will be the rest of your life. Your fate will come without you knowing. So, don’t be in a hurry to tie yourself down and quickly deciding he/she’s the one. Take your time and choose. Make sure he/she shares your same goals and have the desired qualities you wanted in your soulmate. No need all, even 50% is a good trade-off. The rest, you have to learn to compromise. That’s what marriage’s all about. If he/she’s 100% perfect, you might be marrying God! Kekek… ;) Good luck in your mate hunting and wishes all a good 2nd half of 2008!!
