Me with the bears


I realise I looked damn happy about it. Looking back, my childhood was happy and fun, although I realised long ago, the financial situation was also damn jialiat. When I was scanning the photos, my dad commented that although the family was poor, he made sure that we took a lot of photos so that we can remember our childhood and the past. Seriously, we nv owned a camera before. The one we used was passed down by a relative.

A closer view


The panda was not actually a bear. It was more of a toy. I remember my uncle actually bought for me and my mother had told me it was very expensive. Yeah $20. It was dirt expensive at that time. Insert the batteries and it will crawl. When we ran out of batteries, I will push it across the floor so it skid. Haha

The BIG bear. OMG. My family can't seriously afford such a big bear. There was this afternoon, where some neighbours had taken the bear out to the grass patch behind my block to sun the bear. My father spotted it from the window and went down and took it back Hahahahahhahaha. After taking it, my dad made it a point to keep it in the bedroom and not the living room.

True enough, later in the night, the owners of the bear went floor to floor to search for it and peeking into people's living rooms. Hahahhaahaa

The red bear. It's called 'Xiao Hong' My mum named it. We went to AMK Emporium to buy it. Mum was good to us. I rememeber Mum asking me not to choose it because it was expensive and she helped me pick a few which I didnt like. So eventually it was still Xiao Hong, whom I always played and talked to. The feet had heart-shaped designs which I always find it attractive lolz My fav childhood bear

Signing off,
with my childhood...

My Childhood Part One

| | Comments (0)

Just got into the office. I am late everyday, and I dun do work immediately when I get in. I am so slacking.

I wanna blog something about my childhood coz recently I was talking to my supervisor about my childhood and then it striked me back that I didn't have any entry on my childhood. I put up a new section on articles, which included the best works in th3sh33ps.com haha. There's too much things to write; so today I will write my childhood before I entered Primary 1.

- I remembered when I was really young, when my mother could still stand on her own, we were living in a HDB flat with only one room, and the all of us sleeping together in the same room.

- I remembered vividly that when we were about to shift house, my father and brother walked to the new house to shift things/do renovation. Now I realise it's damn far!

- When I was really young, I got a metal torchlight with a green plastic around the bulb.

- I would pestered my mum to read me comic books before I go to sleep, like Lao Fu Zi, Doreamon etc.

- There was once this occasion which I wanted a pair of shoes so much. It was red and white in colour, and was something like a pair of basketball shoes. Although it is not branded (selling at the market), it cost about $30. So my dad did not want to buy it for me. But after a few days, before I woke up, my dad had already bought the pair of shoes and placed it beside me before I woke up. (Love you dad)

- Oh my dad would always call me to his bed before night time, and kiss me and hug me before I sleep. And whenever I opened the door when he came back from work, he will also peck me on both checks. Think that continued on till I was in secondary school.

- There was a lot of toys. We had one small metal box to contain all the toys. My father locked it up with a padlock to prevent us from playing. In the end, he dun have the key and he broke the lock with 2 screwdrivers.

- My dad would always buy toys for me. There was this toy shop in the market also. I remembered I had a toy horse which could gallop when I pressed on a pump which was connected to it. But my brother stepped on it when he was retrieving the laundry.

- My brother and I always go to the lift landing when ppl threw away their old toys. So much toys we gathered. Little soldiers, fighter planes etc

- There was this birthday which was real sweet. My father brought a toy jackpot which will sprayed water when you pulled the hand of the jackpot (posted a pic of this toy before). My brother bought a toy rifle for me. They wrapped it up and refused to tell me what it was. We woke up very early on my birthday as my mum was going for work. We then drew all the curtains and off the lights and sang a birthday song and cut the cake.

- On that birthday, I was playing with the rifle when I sat on the rifle when I was jumping around on the bed. It broke and cannot shot out any pellet anymore. My dad then told me the parts will stick back after he applied flame on it. Come to think of it, I'm damn stupid la...how can 2 pieces of wood glue together using heat??

- Oh my dad kept goldfish when I was really really young. And now I realise why all the fishes died. Total cruelty hahaha we pour kitchen salt on the dying goldfish as we observed the fish became much livier. Now I know it because of Skin Burn hahah.

- I had a rabbit by the name of xiao bai. It was another present by father who bought it in the market. (I had everything selling at the wet market.)

- Xiao bai lived in a carton box with daily treats like carrots and lettuce. We even put a mesh on top on the box to prevent him from jumping out. Anyway rabbit dun jump like in the cartoons.

- I will take xiao bai out to the grass at the void deck while waiting for my mum to come home from work. I dunno how to hold xiao bai, as such I always pulled the rabbit up by pulling it ears. OUCH!

- There was once while I was pulling xiao bai up, I dropped him because he moved. The rabbit then developed 'walking difficulties'

- Subsequently it got from bad to worse. Xiaobai had stomachache, red colour shit and it was dying. My dad applied "axe oil" on his stomach.

- Before xiaobai died, my dad said we could buried the rabbit at the park near the house. But later he said that there was a big dog at the park which would eat up xiaobai if we bury him. In the end, xiaobai was thrown down our 6-floor rubbish chute. He was still alive then, dying. I cried all my heart out.

- I like birthdays. Always come with cakes and stuff. We organise a BBQ session along the corridor outside my house!!! The BBQ pit was the metal oil container (the container when you buy a tin of cooking oil). My brother cut the tin in the house toilet and also cut his hand and bled quite a lot. My uncle then punched a few holes at the bottle of the cut tin for air flow. We invited all the neighbours and small kids and I received lots of present. There was even a portable light. We are so siao.

- My neighbours Haha my father always not happy about them. First, it was their plants which were blocking the corridor. Then they hung their laundry at our "terrority". They were also Indians who played loud music.
- This indian neighbour had a boy abt the same age as me. I remembered staying outside his house and played a toy car and a toy tractor. I remembered we were exchanging or I could choose one. I couldn't make a decision because the car's doors can be opened and the tractor can have it fork lifted. Muhahahaha

- There was this christmas party organised by this indian neighbour. After the party, we grabbed a box of toys underneath the xmas tree. It was then returned the next day coz it was meant for his kids.

- I loved my milk bottle!! I have it till I was primary 2. Everyday I woke up, my parents would filled it up with kopi-o. And I will lay down in the living room's sofa and drink it from the milk bottle while watching cartoons. We are STILL HAVING that sofa.

- I love my bolster since I was young. It was small and smelly. I always like to put it on my head and pretend that I was the emperor (I thought it looked like the crown of the emperor). That was once I put it on my head after bathing and walked to my father who was in the kitchen. He scolded me very loudly and I broke out in tears. Hahha

- Haha there was this pink shorts and pink t-shirt which I like very much because the colour is the same.

- When I was playing with my brother, I tripped on the telephone wire and hit my eyebrow on the corner of a small table (table still in my room). I bled damn a lot la but my brother asked me to keep quiet abt it as he dun wan to be scolded by my father. I tried to hide in the bedroom in pain but my father found out abt it. He then took me to the private clinic where I had my first stiches. Fucking painful.

- I was botak all the way until primary 2. GI style. So that I dun need to comb my hair.

- When I was in kindergarden, one of the girls refused to let me play with her toys but let another more handsome boy played hers.

- Kindergarden was taught in Mandarin and I did not know any English words till primary school. I learnt the ABC because my schoolbag had the ABC written on it. That's all for english then.

- I thought I had to be retained after I did badly in the Kindergarden exams Muhahhahha

- My brother will fetch me from the kindergarden before he goes to school. He will also buy 'ser bao' (flavoured drink frozen into ice) and waited for me to finish school before we will start drinking. He is damn funny la...says it will taste better if we drink it while walking under the sun. There was a lot of trees on our way back, so we will only wait till there was no cover from the sun and then we took a slip from it hahha.

- I cried and cried one day when I was left alone after school and it was raining with thunder. I sat just behind the door and cried for hours. When my father returned, I was very angry at him Hahha.

- I always have a card for my mother on her birthday. I will wait for her at the void deck before she returned home. And I put the card into the letterbox. On the pretext of opening the letterbox, I will retrieve the card and present it to my mother. I once draw a giraffe on the card, which was a sticker pasted in the kitchen.

- My mum took me to the Tang Dynasty Park. I won a dancing contest there and got a toy gun.

- Oh I remembered the whole family went on to a sentosa trip. We were swimming in the sea when someone accidentally splashed some water into my eyes. I was damn sore abt it and pulled a sulked face after that.

- My dad always tell me stories. Abt a guy who sold things house to house by knocking the doors with a finger. Eventually he mastered the skills of killing a person with that finger.

- Another story remembered vividly because someone give me a display item that showed a crane and a clam. The crane was trying to eat up the clam who closed its shell upon the attack, clamping the crane's beak onto it. Both refused to give in and eventually was eaten up by others.

- Stories always begins with very long long time ago.

- There was once a period which I will wake up early in the morning to accompany my mother to the void deck to wait for the taxi. There was this taxi uncle who will fetch my mum everyday, knowing that she will need a cab. This uncle then gave me a box of saussages, dried food. I stopped accompanying my mother after that. Dunno why.

- Watching cartoons is just abt watching moving pictures. I never understand what the hell they are talking. Dunno English

- Oh My mum is real nice. There was once for dinner she cooked western food for us, with fries and things like that. But stupid me broke the plate and made a mess out of it. My father then scolded her for making western food for us.

Ok, that's abt it. So much things I remembered before entering primary one. Shall update whenever I remember anything else and write abt things after I entered Primary one.

The art of courting Lesson no.5

| | Comments (3)

Supsup actually i didn't wanna blog but i just couldn't stand the face of Mr Wong Tuck Lun appearing on the front page whenever i enter this site lolz.

Lesson no. 5: Anything can happen and it will always happen!

OK now the relationship is great. U are flirting with her, going out on numerous date already and u have the feeling that the girl likes u also, just short of asking her to be yr steady. Things are just going your way and u are feeling so confident and thanking god that he has given u such a wonderful life. And then Suddenly, u realised that the girl is always smsing someone, chatting with him after u put down the phone with her. There is another guy, who is just like u, going after her, dating etc..HOw how How? Suddenly there's an obvious hunter trying to steal yr catch!

Before u get nervous by the sudden appearances of this "3rd-party", give yrself sometime to scold and curse and swear about that person (not in front of yr date u fool!) This is the no. 1 thing u must do when u found that that is another extra one spoiling yr relationship with yr date. This proves that u are a MAN and hopefully it can gathered yr confidence and strength to fight the battle! A man gonna do wat a man's gonna do!

Most importantly, find out wat is the friendship level between the girl and the guy. Did they just know each other? Have they known for a very long time? How did they know each other? Are they gd friends? How to find out? Just ask! That's the only way to find out! This is the most important and difficult part...asking...the essentials of the whole lesson (Listen up!)

When asking abt such questions, remember, u must show and express to her that u do not care so much yet for watever reason these affects u Show 30% of yr jealousy (I assume 30% is very little). Never give the impression that u are a easily jealous man and someone who is afraid of challenges. Plain expression dun help either. Dun let her guess yr feelings. Most probably she will think "he is not even nervous abt me being with other guys Boo" Give the "i dun care, yet somehow it affects me deep inside" look. Give few sarcastic comments if u think it helps. Dun talk bad abt that guy unless the girl asked for opinions. But however if that guy is yr friend u can always talk bad abt him, giving the reason that u known him better Lolz

After knowing such details abt him, there is virtually nothing u can do. The girl is free to do anything she wishes, she choose who to go out with and who to chat with. Ask her out for more dates, if possible extend yr time with her whenever possible, thus minising the chances for the guy to get in contact with her. Be very careful in presenting yrself, prepare for saddening news such as yr date is not free to go out with u,or she will call u later after she hang up with him. take it in yr stride Man.

K la going for lunch already la kaoz

Waste my time.

The art of courting lesson 4: The killer move

| | Comments (5)

Supsupsup just came back from lunch. Nothing much except me and rachel saw the others at Jurong central yet we didn't say hello to them. Hmm kinda awkard. And Rachel has a Peek-a-Boo lolz Pink colour bra which really is turning on with the amount exposed keke Wat am i thinking...

The art of courting lesson 4: The killer move

Ok now the situation is good, considered that u have a lot to talk to her, and she tells u alot abt her things, u went out with u and the first date was great and u both flirted around. So wat happens next? Asking her to be yr girlfriend seems natural geez excited huh?

Of my many past mistakes are taking to the cue too quickly. That means u are asking the girl to be yr steady when she is not even prepared yet. She may have like u, but then it's too soon. U will scared her off. Given a situation, you asked the girl to be yr gf, yet the girl rejected u becoz it's far too soon, however all hope is not given up as everything becomes normal again. Soon u forgot that u've ever asked her. Nononono Mistake. The girl will still remember and from that day onwards, she will be more judgemental abt u. Everything u do, flirted with others etc will has a double deduction. So asking too early is not going to help. This is courting, not reservation or the first-come-first-serve basis. Take yr time, feather, aim and shoot.

This bring us to the next question...So when should i pop out the question?

The common mistake is Poping the question suddenly out from the blue. This is one huge mistake i cannot stress enough. Imagine u are taking abt sch work and suddenly u ask "wanna be my gf?" sux0r right? or u just called and asked. Big big mistake remember any shock or surprise element must a pleasant one, romantic one. Calling in the middle of the night to ask when she is sleeping is not romantic.

This phrase is usually the most exciting and fun period of the entrie courtship. "You like me and i like u too but we are both too shy" feeling is the best man (gosh i missed that sighz) When to pop out the question normally depends on the situation and how to ask it. Do u wan a romantic setting where u are at the beach listening to the waves with her or do u wan it a disco where she can hardly hears u? Choose it yrself. Sometimes the opportunity to ask just suddenly pops out. Jump at it. Watch more sitcoms or movies, they provide great tips. Always keep in mind that the oldest method is always the best method. Copy others and Bingo. Sincerity is wat u need to emphasized.

Eh suddenly i felt this lesson sux so much ar not funny at all Booo Ok Better more to come..ran out of topics...geez

The art of courting: Lesson 3 Flirtation

The art of courting for guys: Lesson 3 Flirtation

did i spell "flirtation" right?

Flirtation often helps when u are wooing your ideal date, however these must not in excessive because u wouldn't wanna yr date to have the impression that u are a flirt. It's all depends actually, on wat type of girls yr parnter belongs to. If yr parnter are skeptical about others giving her compliments, then dun open yr dictionary of honey-words and use them like nobody's business. Use them correctly and on the right kinds of girls e.g if u said jas looks like yang gong ru it's is perfectly ok (the right type of girls) but if u used it on mo xiaoling then it's not a good idea because she knows she's not. And dun u feel guilty telling such big lies? lolz. Normally pretty girls like to be said that they are pretty and average girls like to be complimented that they have the charisma or any good features. Why not compliment that average looking girls are also pretty? because they know it! To be on the safe side, compliment them for their features, not looks. (never compliment their breasts Lolz)

Talking about compliments, many guys will ask "how do i open my mouth to compliment that she is so beautiful? it's so embrassing"

Haha that's where friends come in. One method i recently discovered was thr the help of friends hahah first of all, get a poll from yr friends, asking among the girls who is the more pretty. After that tell yr date the results of the poll and say that "...but i think u are more prettier becoz..."

Get wat i mean? lolz this method has 2 uses.. first, u can compliment her without much embrassment, secondly the girl will give minus points to yr opponents lolz smart huh? After saying this, the girl "normally" will say "i where got pretty la XXX is more prettier than me leh she got bigger eyes etc" That is where u can kick in, "nono although she got bigger eyes, but yrs are so much prettier becoz.." distort the facts, give compliment generously

The major part of flirting i must say, will be small amount of touching..(remember u are now courting her, courting her as in u wan a relationship out of it, not just sex) I cannot emphasize more on SMALL amount of touching e.g hands, shoulders etc. Never never touch a girl before she touches u. U dun wan to look touchy. E.g when she start to touch and hold yr hand during conversations, u know she is begining to feel comfy with u and hopefully she will not feel awkard when u touches her. Get wat i mean? Set up the foundation first, then go for it. However dun treat yr date as in u are already her bf, thus no touching of thigns, breasts etc. Head, hands, shoulders are acceptable. As i said, it all depends on the girl. Get hints! (i know guys sux0r at that)

Never never flirt with other girls when she is around. No one likes flirts. Make sure u have a clean reputation or dun let her get a word that u are flirting with the office girls etc. Know when to stop and when to flirt. Bottom line: Set up a good foundation, have a gd relationship with her and Flirt!

The art of courting : Lesson 2

I'm damn tired and stress out

The art of courting for guys: Lesson 2 - Deception and the only truth

Deception is often referred to cheating. During a courtship, guys often cheat and bluff their way through. The motives are there: to impress their dates or get them into bed. Does deception works? Yes definitly. BTW white lies are not considered deception. By saying that yr date looks pretty tonight means a compliment, and by saying that u actually miss her means u are flirting blah

eh this is boring

If u wanna lied and impress yr date, make sure that it is a good lie. Dun lie that u are damn rich or u are a working executive when u're actually a student. And most importantly dun lie abt yr age. Somehow, ppl who lied abt their age get found out eventually hmm. Well u can lied abt having a 7 inch dick if u dun plan for her to touch u Geez. Practice makes perfect. i shall end here

Coz this is way too boring ar

Stay tuned for lesson 3: Flirtation (i can totally relate to that lolz)

The art of courting : Lesson 1

| | Comments (5)

Ok things are way too bored here so here's some crap from me blah sighz*

The art of courting for guys: Lesson 1 - Listen, and shut up

Many guys often made the mistake of talking too much during a date, which will often dulled the listener and eventually find the person very boring and way too talkative. Talkative is good, only when u are hanging out with your normal friends. In this case we are talking abt yr date. We(guys) are often intimidated by the slience that occured between period to period. The common mistakes made by guys during conversations are:

- talking way too much

- trying too hard to impress your date

- boasting about things which you may not have accomplish (however, if u are a good story teller, this is not a mistake)

- talking only abt yrself

- insensitive to yr parnter's feelings ie not looking out for body language

- revealing personal bad habits and disgusting sexual acts

- talking to the breasts (Common)

Guys are always guys. There is nothing wrong to impress yr date, but just dun try to hard. Boasting (tua kang) is always frowned upon and if discovered, it may lead to a tarnished reputation. Look out for body language during conversation ie she's bored by the topic etc. To be on the safe side, get her to talk instead. Ask her questions that will required her to talk a lot, questions which cannot be answered by a few-word-phrase. I cannot stress enough the importance of just listening and not talking. Listening is more important. She will feel satisfied to know her stories are well-received. During conversation, never reveal that u like picking yr nose when u are at home or u have enaged in any mass-masturbation party. These kind of things often gross ppl out! No No NO talk abt something more generic...like movies, friends etc. Hmm you can talk to the breasts if u want to, just not too obvious!
