- Live your Digital Dream with Canon Contest -

Canon and Nuffnang is holding a contest just for all Nuffnangers and we stand to win some of the latest Canon products, including the new EOS 1000D. I have longed to have a DSLR or a small size camera like the Ixus 80 IS, but due to budget, I still have not get it. So this is a good chance to try to get myself a new camera be it a DSLR or a small one.

This is the photo i m using for the contest.


Live your Digital Dream with Canon

This photo is taken during my trip to Taiwan in the hills of Alishan. The tree form sort of a heart shape and my family is in the middle of the heart shape which signifies 永结同心, the love for the family . Loving one another is a beautiful thing~

Creative rite?!! LoL....

- Touching Song By Daniel Chan -



Have been watching 《倩女幽魂》 starring 陈晓东,宣萱,大 S and many more...
Througout the show, you will hear 1 song constantly being played, especially during those emotional scenes. By now you might already be hearing tis song if the imeem player is playing. LoL...

Yes This is the song. 《吻下去爱上你》 by 陈晓东.


This song is in his 《Perfect Love》 album released in Aug 2003. In this album most of the songs are actually for the show. Many nice songs including 《般若波罗蜜》, 《灰飞烟灭》, 《闭上眼睛》. If you all wanna hear them, juz leave me a tag and i will post it in my playlist.

I still remember tat time I am still in NS. Listening to this song and watching this show in our 3Sig Bunk. LoL.. See how time flies.. Its been 5years since this song is out, one of my favourite then...

Take some time to listen to this beautiful song and look at the lyrics to understand it more...

Enjoy~

《吻下去爱上你》
词:林夕 曲:陈晓东

遇见你需要运气 爱上你却要多少勇气
渺小的我只忠于自己 人世间 却容不下一段传奇

有人说该忘了你 我宁愿忘记了我无知
失去了你讨好整个天地 有什么值得了不起

我不顾一切让世界停止 也要换你一个坚持
人生的结局 不相聚就是分离
也总算留下了 相爱的痕迹

有人说我该放弃 要反悔比执迷还容易
最难的是失去爱的能力 在孤独里醉生梦死

**我不顾一切让世界停止 也要换你一个坚持
人生的结局 不相聚就是分离
也总算留下了 相爱的痕迹

Repeat**

全世界都在等着我看着你 让我吻下去爱上你~

Last wednesday, while hosting the program "Tonight in Beijing" the 25-year-old former beauty queen-turned-TV presenter had blurted out what sounded like the F-word after she introduced a diving segment featuring China’s synchronised divers Wang Feng and Qin Kai.

Watch out for the 51sec of the video~


So did she blurt out the F-word?

Yes or No?

- 15th of Lunar 7th Month -

Its the 7th lunar mth and today its the 15th day.

As said, the 7th lunar month is when the gates of hell open and spirits are free to roam in the human realm. During this month, we will burn the offerings on the 1st and 15th day of the month.

Other dan burning offerings, coffee shops or shopping points will gather and organise for 歌台 show for the 好兄弟 to watch and enjoy. 歌台 is a staged performance where many artistes will come to perform. For these performers, its like a once in a year thing which they will b able to earn money. If you all have watched 《881》last year, you will have an idea wat its all about.

As for 歌台, they will usually leave some free seats infront of the stage for 好兄弟 to sit. Many other ppl will also either take the other seats or stand around to watch the performance. Performance usually starts around 7.30pm and ends around 10.30pm, a 3hour performance.

Mum loves to watch these performance and once a year, I will accompany her to watch 歌台 at different locations. The one which we will not miss is the one at 888 Plaza. Went to watch it earlier last week and here it is, i will post some photos for all to enjoy~ :D

- 12 Lotus -

Thanks to Ryan, was given the tix to watch the exclusive viewing of the show with him on Monday.

Before getting the tix, went to have dinner at Kolo mee @ Marina!! This branch's fried wanton is not as nice as that of the one in Vivo City. Might be the time they fry the wanton, tis might not b as fresh. But nonetheless, its still nice! LoL...




Bought pop corn and drinks b4 going into the Cinema and together with the set is this!!!

"Money No Enough" Money Bank


Back to 12 Lotus.



12 LOTUS tells the story of a singer and the heartless men in her life who use and abuse her. Spanning over 1980s, 1990s till the present day, this film will play out against the backdrop of poignant hokkien songs, which will touch audience with their resonance with the lead character.

Movie starring Qi Yi Wu, Liu Ling Ling and Mindee Ong, who are huge household names following the success of the previous film, 881.

Its theme is on Ge Tai, a Royston Tan's film after "881". Its a much anticipated show as really enjoyed "881" last year. And of cos, there is a special appearance by Stefanie Sun. She looks so pretty in the show lor!!!

After watching the movie this is wat I feel. The start was good, showing the young of Lian Hua and the start of her misery. Constantly abused by her father, which her father thought its best for her. Quite touching I should say. After Mindy's appearance, and the things she went through. We already know she how pitiful she is. Yes we know. The back is juz draggy draggy and draggy..... Mindy, Huang Yi Liang and Liu Ling Ling's acting is good. Not forgetting the funny guy "Astroboy". Acted really well. As for Qi Yu Wu okok only...

I would say its not as nice as 881. So for those who wanna watch, juz sit down, relax and try to enjoy. If u dun wanna waste tat 2hours, forget it! Lol...

- Happy Birthday Singapore -

Once again, its Singapore's Birthday again~

Firstly, juz wanna wish Singapore a very Happy 43rd Birthday and hope things will turn out better~

But come to tink of it, walking around HDB tis year, comparing to 10years ago, the number of ppl hanging the flag has dropped so much, take for example my block, its like only 1 household hang out the flag~ =.=

But nonetheless, Happy 43rd Birthday Singapore.

I got a PSP for myself too!!!! After a long wait and deciding, i finally got myself a PSP. Some reasons why I wanna get it fast although i wanna get it like few mths later. Firstly, PSP price are going up by the week if not day, reason being, future batches of PSP are un-moddable. Or rather no one has been able to mod the new batches of PSP. Price went down and bounce back up within weeks. Secondly, ICT in Nov is a long one, so need to get some entertainment for myself.



As for today went to 拜 ahmah, at 11am and after that, went to Jehovis to help aunt fix the door. After its done, went for dinner at Serangoon. More details and pics will b on the next post if not the following one~ :D

Take care guys and gals, and enjoy ur weekend~ :D
