I love the song! Thanks NTT for sending it to me =)

“Kiss From A Rose”

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that’s the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you’re like a growing addiction that I can’t deny.
Won’t you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,
I’ve been kissed by a rose on the grave,
I’ve been kissed by a rose
I’ve been kissed by a rose on the grave,
…And if I should fall along the way
I’ve been kissed by a rose
…been kissed by a rose on the grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you’re like a growing addiction that I can’t deny, yeah
Won’t you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.

I dunno what the hell is wrong with me. Fancy dropping all the HDD partitions without having the partitioning software. VERY smart. Like real. I am so upset now. ARGH =(

Now, I have to re-install and partition in Windows itself. I pray it works. Else I really want to cry my heart out already *panic*

Dumb dumb. I feel utterly so dumb.

I kinda have a love and hate relationship with formatting my laptop or PC. I love it because it allows me to wipe out everything and start a fresh with a new copy of the operating system… hate it because of the countless restarts, updates and patches to be installed into the freshly formatted machine. Kinda bummer eh… I likened it to a baking incident gone wrong. or some cooking that turn out terribly wrong. Not to mention I ran out of external media.. Last resort? Set up a wireless network with file sharing and dump all the data from one machine to another.

Its slow but at least better than transfer to thumbdrive and make 40 trips to and fro the laptop and computer. =X Thats nightmare, I can tell you. They are not placed side by side cos I ran out of power plugs in the house! LoL…

And now the data is being transferred to my PC. and I have nothing better to do but blog. So irritating. Am a ruffled head of fur. ARGH!

I love my laptop because it is always faithful and never strays! Not like some guys. and it always perform nerve wrecking tasks without breaking a sweat. Not even when I stress it with rendering 3d graphics or using photoshop. Even when running MySQL and Apache Tomcat with Dreamweaver and Photoshop, it did not even lag one bit! Love my laptop to bits for that. Even when running SecondLife, its perfect, save for the occasional crashing of the graphics driver. But not bad for an integrated graphics card ok…

I hate my laptop cos its getting more obselete day after day, thanks to constant technology breakthrough, usual wear and tear… but thats part and parcel of life of a laptop. I am thankful its still working and doing its best to finish the tasks that i give.

On a total unrelated note, my hair has really turned brown. Rather, dark brown, and lighter brown in sunlight. LoL. That really beats dying the hair also, I will have to fixed my toe nails before tml’s event BlogOut! So looking forward to meet everyone whom are attending the event! yay!

Just had lunch. And I tried the Singapore Sambal – Mee Pok Dry (Instant Noodles). I would say, its worth trying if you are chilli lover fan… cos to me, its quite shiok la, and best of all, its dry and not soupy. Add Ingredients shall as Fishballs, Fish cake slices, some vegetables and spring onions, and you will get ur very own fishball noodles! Balance meal ma =D

Ok apart from that, the day pass with me working on my beading hobby, and it gives me great satisfaction to create a few new pieces today. Hee…

Tml will be a day out, settling stuff for work as well as dinner with Hendri outside hee…

Just a very short post.

Till the next post,

Was at orchard on a Friday, and decided to head to Far East Plaza for some Hainanese Chicken Rice. Waited for at least 5 mins, before we manage to get a seat. Located at the 4th level, the stall is quite small, and yet, there are so many people dining there! woah… looks like the food is good… hmm.. We placed our orders and the food arrived very quickly.

Bloggers being bloggers, we whip out our camera phones and start snapping at it lol… and here are the picts of the food! Tender and yummy fresh chicken, plus a plate of nice fragrant rice, and the vegetables, with generous amount of oyster sauce and fried onions! Yummylicious la… and oh, one must not forget the chilli!

The chilli is yummy, spicily shiok and provided a lot of kick to the taste buds… Hendri like the ginger and chilly alot..

Haha, it took us sometime to really enjoy the food… and its quite worth, considering its 11 SGD dollars.

Next after desserts (sorry no pictures)… we headed for a walk down orchard road, and decided to drop in to peek at the peugeot cars on display outside ngee ann city.

What we saw next amazed us… the Peugeot concept car, directly flown in from France. Oh, not too many pictures were taken here, because there were so many people around…

Ain’t it COOL ? Oh my god… I was like erm so totally head over heels with it… the specs are amazing la… and oh, i got into the driver’s seat for one of the mini cars… the 107 methinks…

Haha… and yes, I quite like what I saw and what I touched. am totally amazed =)

I’ve registered for BlogOut ! Together with Hendri. It’s going to be a fun filled evening, and I am so looking forward to meeting new people! Wanna know more about it? Head over to their wiki and their blog =) *Hurry! Limited Vacancies available*

Excerpt from TDM blog entry

Theme:
Based on Naked Conversations: Where we explore how organizations are using blogs to communicate their message! And also how these new voices, and other emergent forms of technology, like Twitter are allowing the formation of more and more communities!

Details:
Date: 24th May, 2007, Thursday
Place: Geek Terminal (55 Market Street – opposite Golden Shoe Carpark)
Time: 6:30pm – 10:30pm (registration & dinner begins at 6PM)

Another event would be the VillageTalk, held in NTU, Technoplaza.

An excerpt of it from the wiki:

Let’s keep it simple.

Village Talk aims to bring people passionate about changing the world into one room.

Why?

We know that we each have different interests, expertise and networks. We are all passionate about different issues. Yet, these issues are often complex and require knowledge from different domains.

At Village Talk, we bring in a diverse group of people ranging from musicians, youth leaders, travellers, professionals, academics and politicians into one room. We believe that by offering the opportunity to hear from many people and perspectives, we can create previously obscure solutions.

Even if you’re not intending to change the world, we believe that these series of talks will ignite the creative spark in you to spur innovation! For those of us who are still comtemplating about their calling, we hope that these talks will inspire you to simply go ahead and try it.

We aim to create an evening for you that’s enriching, thought-provoking and entertaining all at the same time.

Interested to attend? Do register!

Call it blogger’s block or writer’s block, I can’t seem to find any content and blog about it. Oh well… I have loads of random pictures to blog about, but nothing forms in my head. Perhaps, I really run out of stuff to blog ?! I hope not, because that will be so darn disappointing to my readers as well as myself. oh well…

There are times which I want to blog about some issues, but I dare not, for fear of unknowningly offending some people who reads this blog. Maybe I need some form of encouragement to blog about it. But sometimes, I simply have no mood to blog it all out. Perhaps there are some growing pains that I am facing. *anyone wanna hear me out in the blogosphere?* ok, i am joking lol. such is the dilemma of blogging.

Growing up and realizing certain things can be a painful affair, and makes me wonder about all sorts of things. Its time to grow up and see the beauty and ugliness. You people will be there for me right? Maybe I just need a getaway. Maybe I just need a hug (virtual or real hugs also can)…

End of my rants.

Here’s an art piece of mine, done in Cinema 4d. Its in 3D and completed quite sometime ago… It’s been a long time since I installed the software back into my computer. hmm…

I have others that I’ve created in my deviantart profile, shall post them here real soon… =)

I am taken aback of my realizations. I never knew that growing up is more painful than I thought. Sometimes, I have so much to talk about, but to whom can I do so? To whom can I pour out everything, and not be judged ? and not being stabbed in the back ? Yesterday probably the best day yet, when its better known as “Welcome to the Real World”. How true indeed. How true.

Things has been happening quite fast and furious these days, and sometimes I can’t get a grip on it at all. There’s nothing I can control, nothing I can do about at times, that helpless feeling…

Now I know what is meant by life is more than just a game.

Fantastic Rendang, and very shiok sambal… woot! Haha, thanks to all the constant raving on ping.sg shoutbox about Hjh Maimunah restaurant thats located in Jalan Pisang. (There is another branch located at Joo Chiat Road) I went to have a taste of the food myself today! Haha, no, I din had dinner alone… but with the company of 3 other people – Hendri, Adrian and Sylv ! Hee…

Sylv is our guide, because the rest of us simply don’t know how to get to the restaurant… It was some distance from Bugis MRT station, but its simply worth it to visit the place… cos the cost of the meal is very reasonable for 4 people! Our food, minus the desserts and it cost $14.50 ! For four persons… haha, and yesh, u can work out the figures on your own haha… LoL …

Oh yes, not to forget the pictures

Before we tuck into the delicious food…

After the meal… We finished everything we ordered… The Rendang was shiok, curry vegetables, the tahu talor (is that how u spell it?), the stingray as well as the sambal… =D hehe… though we were feeling full, we manage to polish off some super sweet desserts… hee XD

What’s Adrian doing ?

Me trying to get rid of the skin on that piece of stingray

That’s Hendri trying to peel prawns with utensils

Haha, and yes, overall, we enjoyed the dinner, chatting and all =)
