Life's Irony
Our life is such an irony. When we are young, we have all the time in the world but no money to do whatever the things we like. We work part time and save on our pocket money just to have that little bit more to buy the games, toys or bags that we so desire. All these times, we long for the days when we will grow up and earn a salary. With the salary we will be able to buy anything we want easily.
How irony it is that when we reach that stage, though we have money, we find ourselves lacking in another thing call Time. There are tons of things to do yet we always find ourselves running out of time. No time to shop, play games or enjoy ourselves. Everyday is the same routine. Go work, go home. How to find time for ourselves then?
So in the end, we are sort of back to square one. We still unable to enjoy the things we like. :(

Keep The Flag Flying
A tribute to Manchester United's heroics last year. Keep the flag flying...
"On his bed in Rechts der Isar, a Munich hopital, Sir Matt Busby slowly whispered five words to his assistent Jimmy Murphy:
"Keep the flag flying Jimmy."
50 years on destiny took us to Moscow, for Matt and for the Busby Babes.
Because Manchester United will never die.
Let's do it again this year...

Ho Ching Steps Down...
Surprise, surprise.... I wonder what could be the reason for Ho Ching stepping down as CEO and Executive Director of Temasek Holdings from Oct 1. A result of the wrong investment decisions (read: Merrill Lynch).
And how appropriately named her successor is, Charles Goodyear. We certainly need that now.

Pay Cut!
Yes, it finally happens. 10% pay cut starting this month. Sigh....
And the funny side as my colleague puts in, our workload seems to increase and yet we are getting paid less for it. Well, that's the pitfall in working in a manufacturing sector. Production orders still take up the bulk of the company's income.
Sigh... Times are really bad now. You are paid lesser, work more. Your work is something you don't like to do but you have no option cause you have no where else to go... Sigh...
On a side note, today is the anniversary of the Munich air crash that took away more than half of a great Manchester United team in 1958.

Life Goes Back to Normal.
And so, CNY came and went. Life goes back to normal. All those hectic preparation and cleaning for the past few weeks just to celebrate those 2 days (some say 15 even though life goes back to normal on the third day in Singapore)
Off we go, back to our office and work. Looking forward to the next holiday... which will be in April... Sigh....

Balls Slapping, New Goal Celebration?
Ok, you just scored a consolation goal in a 5-1 thrashing. Nothing to celebrate about. What worse can happen?
Your team mate coming over and slapped you in the balls. Ouch!!!

Don't Drink Pokka
Vivian Lai should really threaten to quit being the spokesperson for Pokka. All the advertisements they put up make her look so ugly. The worse is the latest CNY one. I thought it is a fox vixen standing next to Mark Lee when I saw this at the bus stop advertisement board the other day. Is this the best photo they can find for the funny and pretty actress?
Sigh… the sacrifice you have to make for money…. *tsk tsk tsk*
After seeing it, I don't even want to drink Pokka product. Not that I like Vivian that much, just that I don’t want to turn into a vixen after drinking it. Eeeyer... *shiver*

It's that time of the year again...
Yes, the time when you have the longest holiday in Singapore (2 days of holidays leh! -_-"), get to answer those awkward questions from relatives, listen to crappy celebration songs wherever you go and worse of all, SPRING CLEANING!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Chinese New Year (CNY) is here again.
I used to look forward to CNY. It's a time when I get lots of Hong Bao, where I will use the money to buy the toys I have wanted. (I dun like to ask from my parents for money to buy the things I like. I work for my stuff).
Now I just hate it. Tired of all the irritating questions from my relatives.
"When you going to have girlfriend?"
"When getting married?"
"When having a baby?"
Yeah… I like to tell them “When will you shut up?”
Man, they are like flies at a picnic. A good friend of mine once told me, the next time someone post this question to me, answer them tonight. *roll eyes*
As for spring-cleaning, I don't know what is the rational behind it. It's not as if we did not do any house cleaning for the entire year. So why when CNY is near, we have to move all the furniture out and ensure every corner and spot in the house is speck and clean. You mean the guest will wear white gloves and go around the house doing spot checks?
Furthermore, it’s not as if it will start that way for the rest of the year. Everything will go back to the way it were (Read: messy) 3 days after CNY. So why bother so much? :P

The Crappy Things About Little Nonya
Yes, I know the show has ended but just want to get this out. Little Nonya has gathering a large following ever since it started showing on Channel 8. It's a great show although draggy at times. However, Mediacorp really needs to examine some things they did for the successful drama.
1. Which character is Xiang Yun or Jeanette Aw acting now? I believe this is on every viewers' mind especially for those who just started following the series. Mediacorp must be tight on budget, if not how else can they explain getting 2 actresses to play each other in different times.
Xiang Yun plays, Tian Lan, Jeanette Aw's mother while Jeanette acts the role of the Tian Lan's daughter, Juixiang, as well as the grand daughter, Yueniang. In return, Xiang Yun play the elderly Yueniang. This is really very confusing especially when the show keeps jumping to and fro between the different timelines. Getting one actress to play both mother and daughter roles is ok, but having two inter swapping around is truely mind-boggling.
2. I wonder how old is Tao Jie, Yueniang's buddy. She is a servant of the family from the start of the show before Yueniang is born, right till the end when Yueniang is a grandma liao. Wah kao, I like to know what she eat and do to maintain.
3. Lastly, after making such a successful drama, Mediacorp have to spoil everything by making that additional 3 mins of crap. They hype it making everything thought it is some sort of alternate ending where the two leads will end up together. Turns out to be an explanation exercise. on why Chen Xi and Yueniang cannot be together and that they still love each other.
My question is what the fuck is that for? To please some viewers who are unhappy with the ending? Treat us like idiots. They could have just ended the series and move on. But NO... everything must be explained. Sorry also must explain. Congrats Medicock. For once, you made a good drama and you have ruined it with this crap

What's My Name Again?
Wah liao! What is wrong with people? Is my name so difficult to spell? I kept encountering people spelling my name wrongly. It's only 5 letters, is it so hard to remember or pronounce?
People keep putting the L always put in front of the Y. So instead of being called Daryl, I am called Darly! Makes it looks like darling and in one case, an ex-manager call me darlie. YES! The damn toothpaste. Grr.....

I Have AIDS..

Haha... of course not lah. Just that the chinese medicine I am taking now, the pills looks exactly like the ones taken by the AIDS sufferers in 不凡的爱. Same capsule look and same color, yellow and red.
I better not take them in public or else people will start moving away from me. :P

Manchester United Crush Chelsea
What a way to start the new week! Trouncing Chelsea 3 nil. Hell, we didn't even start with our first choice central midfield and Rio. Giggs is my man of the match. At 35, he is rolling back the years with yesterday's performance.

Minutes to Midnight
Well, here we are. Last day of 2008. Nope, I am not going to do any New Year resolutions. I never have the discipline to follow them anyway. I hope that everyone will make it through the round seas and the clock will move back to more comfortable levels.
See ya next year!
See ya next year!

Sweet Chocolate
Actually, they are not sweet at all. These are made from dark chocolates and another new addition in Angie's armory of recipes, which she learn from a colleague. Yummy...
