I have liked to sing since I was a little boy. I recall vividly those days when I would sit myself on a high stool in my grandma's spectacle shop and hum to the Mandarin songs that were playing from the radio, whilst my mum was tending to the customers in the shop. Feng Fei Fei and Fei Yu Qing were my favourite singers when I was a 10 year old boy.
If you listen to Mandarin pop, you will know that 7 out of 10 songs deal with the subject of Love. I must have heard thousands of Mandarin love songs by now. However, it is only after I fell in love with darby that love songs took on an added significance for me. The lyrics of the song 都是你 speak out to me when I first heard it as it echoes my feelings whenever i miss darby. Before I know it, I will be singing the song to myself, and hoped that somehow darby will know that i was thinking of him at that moment.
谁改变了我的世界
没有方向没有日夜
我看着天这一刻在想你
是否会对我一样思念
你曾说我们有一个梦
等到那天我们来实现
我望着天在心中默默念
下一秒你出现在眼前
想念的心装满的都是你
我的钢琴弹奏的都是你
我的日记写满的都是你的名
才发现又另一个黎明
你曾说我们有一个梦
等到那天我们来实现
我望着天在心中默默念
下一秒你出现在眼前
想念的心装满的都是你
我的钢琴弹奏的都是你
我的日记写满的都是你的名
才发现又另一个黎明
我的日记写满的都是你的名
才发现又另一个黎明
这是我对你爱的累积

One of our favorites. Note the reaction of Darby, it actually slammed its head hard on the table. Poor thing, must have been devastated by McDull's talk.

In the mood for love
I was thinking that it is strange that no one has posted anything abt movie since we started this blog cause we both love movies alot, not very much the same genre i guess, but basically good movies. I like movies with great music /cinematography/ sceneries / actors and director. A movie script might be simple but a good director can turn it into a masterpiece. i can divide them into 2 categories , they are very different : Asian and Western.
First let's talk abt Asian or Chinese films :
Wong Kar Wai takes the no 1 seat. In the mood for love / Happy together / Chungking Express ( i have been to Chungking guesthouse, just to change money ) / The Days Of Being Wild. Great actors , terrific music is always chosen with very sophisticated taste , always my must watch movies. Wong KW is like a rock star as a director, as his movie is always full of trance / grunge feeling..
Lee Ang, a very meticulous director ( like a classical musician ) who makes fine movies like red wine. Personally my fav is BBM / Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon . Both are very different but really great movies. Music is not particularly catchy but acceptable.
And Zhang Yimou , for his earlier movie, The story of my father and mother , by Zhang Ziyi. it is so so China that it cannot be made by someone else. He is more like a folk song artist to me, which explains why he is never good at making big budget movies ( or i never like them ) , but he is very good at telling stories of common people.
Piggy and i used to go for movies during weekends , i just stopped doing that since i left Spore. I feel quite lazy to go for a movie alone now unless it s a movie i must watch .I think it is the same for piggy.

the romantic stuff
i am very tired today after work , and when piggy called me from Spore , i was not in the mood to chat either. Very guilty every time, but i am a person with poor stamina and low energy level. Hope it won mind when we are old.
i want to recall back ( before my memory fails me) the most romantic things we ever did. One of them is the proposal fm piggy before i left singapore to work in Shenzhen. It did not book the whole cinema on 18 Feb. After watching the movie BBM, i was still deeply engrossed in its sad ending when suddenly my phone beeped, an sms came in from piggy and it wrote some sentimental stuff which i am too shy to disclose here, and ended the sms with a proposal.
i was very touched then and immediately my tears were rolling non stop beyond my control. We later went to a HK tea house for me to calm myself down.
That was the most romantic thing No 1.

Telling J
I told my best female friend J this evening that I'm gay. She was shocked by the revelation and I must have set her heart pumping at record speed for a good 15 minutes. There were no tell tale signs, she said.
To me, the question has always been when, rather than whether, I should tell J. She is one of those whose friendship I cherish and embrace with my heart completely and it only felt right that I should let her know this other side to me.
Overall, she responded very well and even chuckled over the phone at some parts of our conversation. She now knows there's someone in my life at this point in time and I am a "qualified" love counsellor as I have some experience to speak of.
I have done with J what I hope to do with some of my family members - which is to be completely true to them and to myself.
When that day comes (if at all), I hope they will accept the news with understanding and still love me for the person I am.

My first baby step to love
Growing up, I have wished for romantic love - a firm grasp of the hands, a tight hug of the bodies, and a meeting of the lips.
I met darby at a time when I wasn't seeking a partner. I don't think he was either. He called me a day after we first met and asked if I could join him for a new year eve countdown in town. I declined but we agreed to meet again. Then came the second meet up in his house where I stayed over and we had a long chat and loads of fun throughout the night. I can't be quite sure now if we watched the movie "Love Actually" the very next morning. What I do recall is hearing his laughter and finding myself quite amused by it. His laughter was easily one of the loudest and most distinctive in that cinema hall. I also remember darby grasping my left hand with his right hand in the middle of the movie, in a gentle but firm manner. I responded by closing my fingers around his. That was a moment which I will remember throughout this life as it's the first time I have my hands held in an affectionate way by a guy. During that moment,I felt as if a love story (darby and mine) was unfolding in the cinema, other than the love stories unfolding on the screen.
I think that movie was a catalyst for our relationship. We began to meet more frequently and talked more often on the phone and soon became good friends.

Sam soon pig
Piggy sms me and told me how much it misses me when it hugged the Samsoon pig i bought for it. SS pig is a big soft toy pig which is about 50 CM in height , cost about 30 SGD and cheaper as i bought it in Shenzhen. I have seen the same toy before in Spore and Msia and it costs abt 50 SGD. it is of good quality and by the original manufacturer, which is really good to hug as it is fluffy. I have installed a nano size camera and receiver in SS pig and it will help me to spy on piggy , if it is misbehaving , SS pig will alert me. Kidding..
I am just glad that piggy likes the toy as i took the trouble to search for it and fly it from China to Spore. I like to see a happy pig.

I told another dept head today that i am willing to consider for a leader position in his dept. I am resorting to this mainly because of an assistant manager, who has joined my dept for months. i was already under huge pressure since i took up the position in early 2006 and having an assistant manager who does not contribute to ease my work load , is not something pleasant to me . I do not mean to be sacarstic , but the AM is more like an admin clerk to me ( which my young and pretty admin clerk who is of Miao parentage can do better ) . Neither does he function like a manager in terms of decision making nor resource planning. i am very much on my own now as approaching him for any support will get me no way. At the same time, i have lost the support from the manager himself as he is taking charge of 2 depts now and scarcely has time for me. Besides , my only subordinate resigned early this yr as he cannot take the pressure. Lets hope the job switch to another dept works out smoothly.. After the job switch , i will spend more time in Hongkong and less in Shenzhen as it is based in Hongkong, hopefully piggy can join me for holidays in the coming months.

I FELT THE EARTH MOVE.. UNDER MY FEET
I was in a clients' meeting around noon today when I felt my body swing to the left then right. My first instincts told me that I might be experiencing the tremors of an earthquake. Minutes later, my HR manager came into the room and told me that we have received an announcement to vacate the building.
My good heart told me to check on my other colleagues, in case they have not been told of the evacuation notice. I walked down the row of cubicles in my department and found that not a single soul was around! Hmmph - even my dear secretary has abandoned me :-p (she later told me she remembered me only when she was taking the lift down).
I found out from the lunch time TV broadcast subsequently that the earthquake originated from Sumatra, Indonesia and measured 6.6 on the Ritcher scale. It's the first time I have experienced tremors and I hope it's the last as well as many lives were lost in Indonesia today.

Toto (more more!)
My mummy struck Toto Group 2 prize in the toto annual 'hong bao' draw last Friday (2 March 2007)!!! The prize money was lower than the usual as there were just too many people (84 to be exact) who, like my mummy, narrowly missed becoming a millionaire overnight just by one number.
Still, it was an event worth rejoicing. I told my best female friend (and darby too) about the good news and my best female friend shared the news with such enthusiasm it's as if she or her own dearest mummy had struck the prize themselves! My mum also shared the news with her two sisters who quizzed her on how the winning numbers were picked.
I have taken a photograph of the winning ticket with my handphone camera. My dear darby will have to tell me if the photograph can be transferred to this blog as I am a complete idiot when it comes to technology matters.
This is a good start for the new lunar year. Cheers to this win and we hope there're more and more DUO DUO winnings to come.
