还记得你喜欢咬著我的手
然后给我你嘴里的球
要我陪你玩丢丢
你喜欢我摸摸你的小耳朵
窝在我的身旁
没有烦忧
在梦里遨游
好狗狗 好狗狗
谢谢你陪妈咪这么久
你并没有离开我
是搬到天堂生活
蔷蔷你要记得我
你不要走丢
快快找到天使
在天堂给我保佑
蔷蔷不要忘了我
还有亲爱的阿姨叔叔和你的朋友
你永远活在记忆中

friends..

of the fun times

was looking ard my comp to look for pics to upload onto friendster
ended up posting them on my blog instead
haha
the below photos taken during my 21st bdae party
(dat's 5 yrs ago lor!! omg)
had a 3D2N chalet at some chalet booked by my bro
when he was still wif the police force

i honestly dun remember
i actually had such a huge cake
hahaha
but i still remember where i got it from =)


the cake the coffee club gang "made" for me


guess who?!
hiding at the staircase
and eating the fries on his own


time flies
so much has changed
some friendships gone
some are still steadfast
some are, well, still there
i guess every once in a while
we ought to let our friends know that
we still remember them
juz the other day
arlene called me
coincidentally
i thought about her few days b4 she called me
no rhyme or reason
juz suddenly thought about her
and wondered how she is
it was a brief phonecall
not much details exchanged
but it was enough to let each other noe that
"i remember"
=)

bumped into xiang ru at yoga class the other day
i was sooooo happy
(omg, dat sounds abit lesbo.. lol)
but anyways
i was really happy
coz she's the only person whom i call "friend"
out of the so many pple i got to noe
during my 2.5yrs in DBS
wahhh
i sound pathetic hor
make 1 fren nia
hahaha
but honestly, i only regard her as fren
and ever since i left DBS
she's the only one dat i've thought about
and missed
(omg, dat sounds really lesbo.. lol)
i logged into friendster juz now
and saw her testimonial for me
memories flooded back
call it "fate" or wat
she came online at dat every instant
right on cue
we chatted for a while
i got distracted surfing friendster
she didn't seem in a chatty mood also
and she went offline after awhile

it's really nice tinking about friends
about wat we used to do
all the fun and laughter we had
but sometimes it's sad
when we drift apart
coz everyone's busy with work
relationships, family, new friends
i guess it takes effort
to bring back the good times
it's nice to meet up an old friend
and be able to pick up from where we left off

只想告诉我所有的朋友
虽然我们不常联络
我也可能忘了你的生日
但我永远不会忘记
我们在一起的快乐时光
你们不只是我的记忆
你们都已成了我的美好回忆

i may not be as involved in your lives as before
but i'm still here
and i always will be

where did the phrase "fuck spider" come from?

for fun, laughter, peace and joy

last nite
i was out with my galfren
being stressed out at work
scattered-brain for the whole day
having a pimple outbreak
and being refused entry to yoga class
all at the same time
she was kinda, u know,
aggressive
and having not met up for quite some time
we had loads to update each other
and she was telling me some of her grievances at work
and somewhere in the conversation
i thought i heard her mention the phrase "fuck spider"
it didn't strike me at that particular point in time
but on my way home
that part of the conversation containing the phrase
suddenly struck me
i heard my bf use it before
and i tink i heard it somewhere before
but u know, as usual
u noe dat vulgarities are vulgarities
being used to express certain emotions
(mainly frustrations)
but most of them is nothing but an expression
and has no real meaning to it
in fact, i found it amusing whenever i hear the phrase
spider so small , how to fuck?
so, i guess it’s like kinda insulting to someone
if u ask him to go fuck spider
oh well, i guess vulgarities are meant to be insulting
but last nite as i thought about the phrase
i was juz tinking
why spider?
most (hokkien) vulgarities include genitalia
be it male or female genitalia
but somehow
dat’s the most common and “popular” vulgarity
maybe this vulgarity (fuck spider) is English
and not hokkien
dat's why
but still
why “spider”?
i brushed it off as a passing thought
but to my surprise
after 1 night’s sleep
and more than half the day gone
the question popped up in my head
juz moments ago
prompting me that my sub-conscious mind
is craving for this curiosity to be satisfied
and so, i typed the phrase “fuck spider”
into the trusty google search engine
and some light was shed
lol

The below definition is extracted from
The Coxford Singlish Dictionary

FUCK SPIDER
Of uncertain origin, this term often connotes extreme frustration. The general consensus is that it originates from the Army (the source of many creative Singlishphrases), where a "spider" was dirt in the barrel of one's rifle. If during inspection, you found a "spider" in your rifle, you'd have to strip it and clean it all over again. Hence, "fuck spider" would either be a common expletive amongst recruits, or an exhortation by an annoyed inspecting officer/NCO. Some, however, believe itdates back to an old practice amongst boys to catch spiders in the undergrowth, house them in small boxes and make them fight.

got this off the forum..

1. Your dog gives you total commitment and affection.
As humans, we need to love and be loved in ways that are uncomplicated, pure and dependable. Your pet gives you loyalty and unconditional love. He is always loyal, affectionate, and totally committed.


2. Your dog needs no reason to love you.His brain is wired differently from a human's. So he can love you without having to think about it, he simply has no choice.


3. Your dog cares about your inner qualities, not how you look.When someone cares about appearances alone, he sometimes misses the good inside. But because your dog looks at your inner traits, he knows your true person.


4. Your dog's love is unconditional.No matter how bad your day is, your dog will always be there to greet you at the door with a wagging tail.


5. Dogs don't hold grudges like people do.Dogs make the best companions. In a fragmented, detached society, where our extended families have moved away, we often don't know our neighbors, divorce is common, and work has become unstable or unpleasant for many - people find it easier to be with their dogs than with one. Thus, the bond between humans and dogs grows stronger than ever.


6. You can be any way you want and your pet will still love you, no matter what.If only humans could be as accepting of each other and show as much love and concern. Pets get their end of the bargain, too, because we respond by lavishing them with organic treats and high-quality health care.


7. Dogs show they have feelings, too. They have mastered the art of integrating themselves into the social system of humans and thriving there. They show emotion - love, anxiety, curiosity - and make us believe they are capable of the full range of human feelings.


8. Dogs talk to us, without having to speak.They jump for joy when we come home, put their heads on our knees and stare longingly into our eyes. Ah, we think, at last, the love and loyalty we so richly deserve and so rarely receive. Over thousands of years of living with humans, dogs have become our reliable sidekicks with the particularly appealing characteristic of being unable to speak. We are therefore free to fill in the blanks with what we need to hear. (What the dog may really be telling us, most of the time, is, "Feed me.")


9. Dogs know and understand our moods.Humans and dogs have bonded in such a way that dogs have become amazingly skilled at reading our behavior, especially when it comes to food and care. They figure out our moods: what makes us happy, what moves us. When they respond to our moods, we think they're crazy about us. They seem emotionally supportive yet complex, able to understand their owners in a profound though wordless way. Meanwhile, men love dogs because they are perfect pals, happy to go places and do things, but unable to hold or demand conversations.


10. Your dog has a give-and-take relationship with you.
Dogs have figured out how to insinuate themselves into human society in ways that benefit us both. We get affection and attention. They get the same, plus food, shelter and protection. To describe our relationship in this way doesn't trivialise our love, it simply explains it.

the 5 dreaded questions..

lol

got this from a forum.. enjoy..

===================================

The 5 questions most feared by men are:
1. What are you thinking about?
2. Do you love me?
3. Do I look fat in this?
4. Do you think she is prettier than me?
5. What would you do if I died?

What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly (i.e., tells the truth). Therefore, as a public service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible responses.

Question # 1: What are you thinking about?
The proper answer to this, of course, is: " I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you." This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer, which most likely is one of the following:
a. Football.
b. Golf.
c. How fat you are.
d. How much prettier she is than you
e. How I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg, "If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!"

Question # 2: Do you love me?
The proper response is: "YES!" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, "Yes, dear."

Inappropriate responses include:
a. Oh Yeah, shit-loads.
b. Would it make you feel better if I said yes?
c. That depends on what you mean by love.
d. Does it matter?
e. Who, me?

Question # 3: Do I look fat?
The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!"

Among the incorrect answers are:
a. Compared to what?
b. I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin.
c. A little extra weight looks good on you.
d. I've seen fatter.
e. Sorry what did you say? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question # 4: Do you think she's prettier than me?
Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!"

Incorrect responses include:
a. Yes, but you have a better personality
b. Not prettier, but definitely thinner
c. Not as pretty as you when you were her age
d. Define pretty
e. Sorry what did you say ? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question # 5: What would you do if I died?
A definite no-win question. (The real answer, of course, is "Buy a Lotus and a Boat"). No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along the these lines:

WOMAN: Would you get married again?
MAN: Definitely not!
WOMAN: Why not - don't you like being married?
MAN: Of course I do.
WOMAN: Then why wouldn't you remarry?
MAN: Okay, I'd get married again.
WOMAN: You would? (with a hurtful look on her face)
MAN: (makes audible groan)
WOMAN: Would you sleep with her in our bed?
MAN: Where else would we sleep?
WOMAN: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her?
MAN: That would seem like the proper thing to do.
WOMAN: And would you let her use my golf clubs?
MAN: She can't use them; she's left-handed.
WOMAN: - - - silence - - -
MAN: Shit.
