Today i am quite nostalgic again...haha reminded of this old song by 许冠杰..... 浪子心声

浪子心声

难分真与假人面多险诈
几许有共享荣华檐畔水滴不分差
无知井里蛙徙望添声价
空得意目光如麻谁料金屋变败瓦
命里有时终须有命里无时莫强求
雷声风雨打何用多惊怕
心公正白壁无瑕行善积德最乐也
命里有时终须有命里无时莫强求
人比海里沙毋用多牵挂
君可见漫天落霞名利息间似雾化
君可见漫天落霞名利息间似雾化

Its quite a nice song really lohh...makes one think of the simple things in life..because the tune is so easy going..and there's even one part where there is whistling..haha not that a lot of the younger ones of my readers would know :) but tis never to late to start to know songs hehe.

Shall stop here for now..lol will write again when i have inspiration or when my bird day approaches :)

霍霍 霍霍霍 霍霍霍!!!!

Hey hoz people :) yeapz you all never see wrongly..its moi again!!!

In case non chinese readers cannot read my title...its Huo x 8 lol.The Huo is a chinese surname and it is the surname of a great chinese folk hero.... 霍元甲(Huo Yuan Jia). Huo Yuan Jia was the founder of 精武门(Jing Wu Men). Jing Wu Men was some kind of martial arts association that allowed the people to practise martial arts and also help in strengthening the community bonds(this is what i think lar) During that time was also the time of the occupation of the 8 nations...this was something which most Chinese(at least PRC Chinese) really had a bad memory of. This was also a time when the Japanese especially were very vindicative towards the Chinese..labelling the Chinese as东亚病夫(loosely translated as The Sick Man Of East Asia)

霍元甲 is portrayed very well in the movie Fearless by Jet Li(in his last action movie) as he had already portrayed another folk hero 黄飞鸿(Wong Fei Hung) to a tee...i totally recommend people to go watch the show not just for Jet Li's slick moves but also for the lessons to be learnt from the movie.

Another great thing about the movie is that Jay Chou sang the title song 霍元甲!!!Now how cool is that???

霍元甲

吓 命有几回合 擂台等着
生死状 赢了什么 冷笑着
天下谁的 第一又如何
止干戈 我辈尚武德
我的 拳脚了得 却奈何 徒增虚名一个
江湖难测 谁是强者 谁争一统武林的资格
小城里岁月流过去 清澈的勇气 洗涤过的回忆
我记得你 骄傲的活下去
霍霍 霍霍霍 霍霍霍 霍家拳的套路招式灵活
我我 我我我 我我我 活着生命就该完整渡过
我我 我我我 我我我 过错软弱从来不属于我
霍霍 霍霍霍 霍霍霍 我们精武出手无人能躲

The song is nice and describes Huo Yuan Jia well also :) and i quote from Bruce Lee from his movie 精武门........ "我们不是东亚病夫!!!!" Ohh side note here haha....Bruce Lee's role was that of 陈真(Chen Zhen), who was Huo Yuan Jia's disciple.

I also caught a bit of "Radio" today.Its a movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr and Ed Harris...man its such a heartwarming story and it reminds me of I Am Sam(which made me cry so much).

Haha just wanted to blog about these......seeya all soon :O) Sleep well eh?

Stupid me again~~~

Heyloz bloggie world...how's everyone??!!

This is actually V2 of my post....because i was actually typing this entry until 3/4 done already and i went to install something...AND THE PC REBOOTED!!!!Haha so what was a long entry now might be shortened already.

The entry actually refers to me on Saturday.The premise is simple..i was gonna go donate some of my chinese comics(which consisted of Doraemon,Crayon Shinchan and some soccer comics) to the library. Two big plastic bags full of comics in fact.Ok i went to TRL in the afternoon lugging along those two plastic bags...i went in and the librarian told me TRL dun accept donations of comics and i was directed to Marine Parade library.Well i was like 'diao' inside my head and so i went and place the comics at a void deck nearby the library. I went to Challenger to go walk walk after that because i was actually waiting for a phonecall...imagine i saw Jean Long and her mum haha what a coincidence.After the walk at Challenger i decided to take 291 home since i still hadn't received the phonecall...i saw bus number 15 and something struck me....15 goes to Marine Parade!!!So i got down after only one stop from the interchange and i rushed over to pick up the 2 bags and took the bus to MPCL.You can only imagine the agony written on my face when i arrived at MPCL sweating like a pig only to be given the response," SOrry we do not accept donations anymore...maybe you can try the Salvation Army?"

Woah i was stunned for a moment there but no choice so i had to woefully lug the 2 bags out and i proceeded to walk out(still sweating profusely) and to the void deck of a flat nearby.I stood there for at least 1 minute to think about what i should do..i was seriously considering even taking a bus or a cab to Salvation Army at Changi!!!In the end my hungry stomach( i still had not taken lunch and it was around 3+pm already) made me look for alternatives nearby...luckily i managed to see a YWCA Children's Development Centre and i placed the books there.Sure hope the comics would be of usage to them...

I think people must be wondering what a twit i am because i could have just sold the comics away to the comics shops eh?Well no choice because my idea was to let people read the comics for free...if i sold away the comics,they would be used as money making tools..that's why i decided upon the libraries in the first place. and i didn't think of the Salvation Army in the first place cos i dun think a lot of people visit Salvation Army to buy stuff and if the comics dun get bought,there would be no revenue and then no money would be raised for the needy. Actually i should have found an orphanage and passed the comics over to the orphanage hor??*slaps myself* :) Mebbe next time i might do just that...

Ahh enough of the rants on the library liaozz...haha Sat was a day of coincidences...after settling the books down at the YWCA centre,i walked to a mama shop to buy a drink and then i walked to a bus stop.My plan at that moment was to just take any bus that came along(and if phonecall was still not forthcoming then i would travel to Geylang and makan MA LA steamboat!!) I was looking in the direction of the oncoming vehicles when i suddenly heard a welly welly sweet voice which was familiar...wahahhaa i turned around and guess who i saw???Prissy!!!!Haha my cute cuzzie was coming back from celebration of her fwens bday at Swensen's :) she told me that Oma was in Singapore so i went over to see her...too bad though cos Oma was asleep so i only helped Prissy to choose news articles for her newspaper cutting homework.And Kenny called me in the end haha...so we chose to meet at Katong Mall...and i met Kurt!!he was on his way to buy a Mazda 3...cooolz siaa.

After meeting Kenny we just walked around inside of Katong Mall first...we stopped at this boutique or something and saw this nice dress aka costume aka outfit and wanted to take a pic of it.while taking the pic though this surly man came out and said,"what do you think you're doing?" Kenny said,"don't have to worry lar" but guess what the man replied???? "You should be the one to worry..." WTF???How can the man be so presumptous and be so impolite??What if we were customers who were interested in his goods??Man that turned me off and so i just walked off with Kenny briskly..no use flaring up at this dude.

Dinner was up and we looked around for some grub....i saw this place named Stone Grill and the food looked quite delectable but we settled on a restaurant next to Stone Grill. i loiked it a lot haha cos 1.the place was quiet(not good for the owner though cos this means not much business,2.waitress was cute,3.layout was comfortable,4.haha the cups very cool.
I ordered a drink named Love Cocktail and au contraire....it wasn't alcoholic!!!Haha its actually a fruit tea...i recommend it to people....i mean the shop :) I dunno the name of the place but its opposite Katong Mall so shouldn't be too difficult to find. Ohh there's a chill out lounge and bar upstairs at 2nd storey also i think :)

I was looking around online and i finally found another webcomic that is nice and really appealed to the gamer inside of me..hahah and its CaptainSNES....you can see it at the link below.

CaptainSNES

Its utterly funny(haha as are most comics) do have a fun read :)

Am listening to Franz Ferdinand's Walk Away right now :)

Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver"
I love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away

Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away?
The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away?
Statues will not cry

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
I'm not cold
I am old
At least as old as you are
As you walk away

And as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind's a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio 4 is static
As you walk away

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse-Tung
On the back

Quite a nice song..haha i know i am quite slow because its been out for a while eh?

Do have a great day people..haha birthday month beckoning...but CNY comes first :) Seeyaz and all take carezz

Sack Souness!!!

Heyhoz people

Haha wondering why the title is like this today??I rarely blog about my favourite soccer team mahh and today on a spur of the moment,i decide to be a Magpie and talk about Newcastle United Football Club!!!!

The title is like this because i just cannot endure Newcastle's current manager Graeme Souness anymore.Yesh its true that Newcastle seems to have kena black cat luck recently that their players seem to be getting injured with regularity...but that cannot be used as a constant excuse by him for the team keeping on having lousy results.So when the team loses its due to injuries and when the team wins its due to HIS tactical astuteness?He doesn't even go to the reserve games to see which reserve players should go into the first team to substitute the injured players and he doesn't even attend post match interviews...nor does he say anything to the local press.... :(

That's the reason why i hope either a Geordie or some better manager can take over soon....i dun mind them losing..but losing due to him is something that is sad....cos at least under a Geordie you noe that there would be some kind of spiritual bond...haha i noe i am not a Geordie but i am speaking as a Newcastle fan mahh :)

Okaizzz..enough of my rant liaoz :) haha ranting too much also not good lar...just wanted to say my bit...kudos to Souness but i just don't want him around any longer.

Haha and Jocie Kwok's album has come out already...i went to download to listen first but am gonna go buy the album...haha Hai Sians do support her ahhh.The first track in her album is quite nice although its a 'kou shui ge' meaning a rendition of an old song :) the song name is 爱是你眼里的一首情歌

爱是你眼里的一首情歌

总是不经意地想起
一样温柔的音
依旧牵动我的心
我曾寻寻觅觅
想在文字里寻找爱情
才发现最美的诗句
原来都在你眸里
爱是你眼里的一首情歌
轻洋着飘逸旋律
让我不知不觉地陶醉在
你缠绕的深情
爱是你眼里的一首情歌
轻拨动我的心弦
让我不由自主地深爱着你
总是不经意地想起
一样温柔的音
依旧牵动我的心
我曾寻寻觅觅
想在文字里寻找爱情
才发现最美的诗句
原来都在你眸里
爱是你眼里的一首情歌
轻洋着飘逸旋律
让我不知不觉地陶醉在
你缠绕的深情
爱是你眼里的一首情歌
轻拨动我的心弦
让我不由自主地深爱着你
爱是你眼里的一首情歌
轻洋着飘逸旋律
让我不知不觉地陶醉在
你缠绕的深情
爱是你眼里的一首情歌
轻拨动我的心弦
让我不由自主地深爱着你

This is a nice song and her good voice makes it even nicer :)

Okaiz haha i shall stop here for now..will write again soon

ROD LOH!!!!!juz kidding hahaha

Heyhozz everyone :)

haha stupid title of mine lar...i wish only..i still got 5 high keys and 3 low keys until i ROD.In case some of you don't know what those keys are..haha they are referring to the amount of ICT(In Camp Training) that i would have to attend. Still got quite some time to go lorr.I just finished one high key ICT on Friday mahh.Haha i know those guys who are reading my blog must be saying...wahhh you storeman mahhh why so worried??True also lar..storemen just have to take charge of the store..count store and issue store equipment...haha but if got onli a few storemen then its quite tough larr..back breaking stuff whew.and i think i nearly became a radioactive rabbit..hahaha no lar seriously cos the place was so dusty and i think it was tough on my nose..sneezed quite a fair bit and luckily it did not develop to a sore throat and then to a fever like my previous ICT.

So how have things been for all of you people??its already mid January and woah 2006 is gonna proceed into Febuary soon....CNY soon also siaa.have all of you gone to get your CNY clothes yet??i dun think i would be getting any..but i guess cos i wun be visiting a lot of places, the non existence of new clothes don't matter :)

A lot of Jan and Feb babies that i know of :) and birthdays are coming fast like wildfire...happy birthday to alllllllll da people i know...hehe must name a few...my two cuzzies....Sharon and Regina...Jeanne...Melissa...and also got Fiona..haha...guys got Hisyam,Khalid and Mimi hahah Happy Birthday to allll of you!!!Although i dunno which of all those people got read this blog hahahaha.

The weather had been very rainy for the time that i had been in ICT but now after ICT the weather seems so awfully hot.Haha seems like the weather is playing games with me lohh...make me kena the rain during the time i was in camp and now not letting me enjoy the cool weather by making it be so hot and sunny now.

am listening to Joey Yung's 流沙 right now...it was one song i heard a lot during my ICT...

流沙

点点星光再耀眼也会雕谢
情话说的难分难解终将一别
最后留在你身边又会是谁
真心是否远比不上一千朵玫瑰
谁是真 谁是假 再狡猾遇上多情也会变傻
那频频回首 心碎的人呀
可明白爱情咫尺天涯 有什么 放不下
昨日如烟火 未来如流沙
谁知道 下一分下一秒 会如何变化
有什么 放不下 青春如昙花 岁月如流沙
天再高 地再大 也容不下寂寞啊
谈(断)感情要潇洒 再粉再香的花蕊 也会枯萎
用情再深没了感觉 终难挽回
最后陪我到终点 又会是谁
承诺岂是激情过后无聊的消遣 谁无怨 谁无悔
再皎洁浪漫的月 也有残缺
当繁华退尽 未了的情啊 再缠绵终将事与愿违
别再强说愁 自哀自怜 旧情终成为过眼云烟
好景既已不再像从前
又何必搁在心头 爱早已事过境迁

Hmm seems like a slow Sunday..do have fun people...must relax well ahhh :) Take good care tooooo

Heyhozz people :)

This is the first post of the year..hahaha let us laugh for one minute to commemorate this moment.Those with asthma please do not try this at home :)

Haha after laughing it sure feels nice and comfortable...it also helps that its quite a nice and cooling weather today.Rained from morning until around an hour ago.

As usual i was at home and didn't go countdown at all.I sure hope most of you had lots of fun too..i heard from friends that the fireworks was quite spectacular...haha too bad i wasn't in Taipei..the Taipei 101 building also had fireworks and that was very spectacular too because the fireworks were set off from the upper levels of that building...coolz sia.

:) Although this year is a new one liaoz..haha the mood music for today is an old song...its a nice one too...there are two variations of it...one is by Chage and Aska and the name is You Are Free..while the chinese version is sung by Sally Yeh and the name is 离开情人的日子

离开情人的日子

疼我爱我宠我吻我最后的一次
想你怨你等你还你到现在为止
忘了我的过去我的名字我们的事
忘了我像个孩子也忘了要你跟我一辈子
疼我爱我宠我吻我仅有的自私
想你怨你等你还你爱不完的痴
用完我的温柔我的一切我们的泪
女人的情绪男人的坚持
不再为了自己多做解释
一个离开情人的日子今天开始
看不见你微笑的样子
一个没有情人的故事明天开始
看见自己才懂的心事

Do have a fun time worr people...:) Take good care and remember again ahh drink dun drive lehhh.
