Somehow, something about having an absolute feast with the best people, followed by "fun" at Geylang and East Coast Park, just seems to be an undeniably awesome affair altogether!
Every single time we go to Eminent Plaza, we spend a bomb, but we have the best food in the world, and with the best friends! A deep fried roll of luncheon meat, huge prawns and century egg; what could go wrong?! Steamed Baby Squid with Garlic, Pig Trotters Bee Hoon, The Best Carrot Cake in the World, a HUGE plate of Ngoh Hiang, Dim Sum, Beef Soup and Xiao Long Bao just seem to make the world a better place! And to top it all off, we now have 1 coffee auntie who hates Farand's guts! ( So what if someone orders a chinese tea and refills it 3 times for free?! He's entitled, ain't he? =D)
Going to geylang for "sight-seeing" and East Coast Park for "meta-acting" is awesome, given the right company! Of course, Singing at top volume with winded-down windows in the car is unbeatable too, no?
Love you guys! =D
P.S: I am now officially very, very anti-Dunman High Basketball, and it looks like it's gonna remain this way for a looong, loooong time..

L'amore è Magico, Sempre e per sempre
A magical evening, with my one and only and no one else...
This is the first time I've ever done a dinner like that, complete with wine and all. Nerves were settling in, soon replaced by the exhuberance of an absolutely fantastic meal, with excellent service and ambience. The food was out of this world, with truffles costing $10,000 a kilo being served for every course, in small controlled portions of course! It was a wonderful evening, complete with the most beautiful person in the world!
I love you honey!
Pic posts coming up soon, with a full blow-by-blow on the meal! =D

To My Special Someone
The day started off pretty ordinary, with a early morning basketball game with my ol' mates. Had fun bonding with them, enjoying the camaraderie of long-absent friends. Good clean fun, followed by lunch with my sweetheart, with whom I was celebrating my 2nd Year Anniversary with, on the 17th of Nov.
How could I fortell that my supposedly-busy-with-the-exams sweetheart had planned a couple massage therapy session at the spa which I brought her to last year?! It was the most awesome experience, not just because of the quality of the service and place, but for the incredible feeling to just gaze upon her, her little cheeky smile as she struggled to contain the secret casually disguised through normalcy. To enjoy an 80 minute long massage, followed by a Shanghainese lunch, and chilling out at her place, just the two of us, made for such an unbelievably wonderful and immensely satisfying afternoon! To see her little beaming face as her masterplan unfolded without major glitches, to catch the scent of her hair as a breeze blows a wisp past my face, to watch her smile in love, and to see that blindingly adorable pair of eyes widen and close as she wheedles a favour from me, is by far the reward that I love to see more than any other.
It's just unbelievable how much you really depend on a person, how a few days simply become months in your eyes as you crave her being with you, to catch a light scent of her on you, to find the almost overbearing pleasure just in holding her close to you, to see a glittering smile and twinkle in the eyes of the one you love. The ecstatic feeling of seeing this in someone not in a relationship with you returned in kind, slowly giving way to a binding affection and heart-aching love that you feel, that you can almost hear her breathe so far away as you lie awake at night. How thinking of a person cleans up your rotten day, hearing her voice in times of trouble transports you into a world of love, where troubles are cleared from you and put on hold. How writing a letter to her becomes therapy, as you pen words of love and honesty for her to read, and have the gesture returned. It's not easy to find a love like that, anywhere. It's easy to forget, in anger, all that a loved one has done for you, has gifted you with. Keep it in mind, that love is unconditional, and when you receive this precious gift from the most beautiful person in the world, nothing else ever compares.
Thank you for 2 years of love, joy and beauty, cyncyn. You are my heart and joy, my little jewel box of treasures that never fails to amaze me. I don't know if we're meant to last forever, to tie the knot or what other silly fantasies crafted by most others, but I sure as hell hope so.
I love you, Cyn! =)
Sweeter than Strawberries, More Perfect than Peaches,
Through It All, I Know You'll Come to See,
We'll Always Be, 'Till the End

The Passing of an Era
My grand-uncle passed away this morning. He was 88 going on to 89 years old. He was the oldest living Victorian, which means a lot to me, from the institution that I love. He was really quite something, always coming to any party or function dressed not in pyjamas as some of the elderly do, but in a suit, always a grey suit, standing as erect as he could on his close-to-a-century-old shoulders. His passing signalled the end of an era, one which we all hoped to grow up under the protection of. My sincere condolences go out to his immediate loved ones.
I went to visit him twice in Changi General Hostipal, where he reluctantly went to, after adamantly refusing to go to Singapore General Hospital, seeing that a fair number of his loved ones passed on there, including his wife. The last words I ever heard him speak was, through his incessant, involuntary shaking and his pain, "Thank you for coming to visit." Even in midst of his own plight, he remained what a Victorian was brought up to be, a gentleman. He was a tough nut to crack, staying on at all our parties til one in the morning, drinking the brandy he was so fond of. At 88, he wrote in his diary everyday, about his comings and goings and notes about people he met. He walked to the market everyday, to buy tomatoes which he so strongly attributed his good health to, apart from brandy. He was a force unstoppable, or so he seemed to me.
In short, he's everything I want to be at his age: Proud, Strong, and Gentlemanly. I'm going to miss you, Lao Ku. Rest in Peace.
Unsurprisingly, this got me thinking 'bout a lotta stuff that's happened over the past few years. It's amazing how a person is reminded of his own mortality after a life close to his fizzes out. Relative or friend, it stings and shocks, and tells you that one day, you'd be facing this scenario too. A few years back, a string on suicides involving JC students took place, and I knew one of them. Well, not really knew, but just knew his existence in the world. Be that as it may, it was shocking to see someone that young, MY age, throw himself out of a window, problems regardless. The other case was even worse, when a highly promising VJC committed suicide over personal issues. What drives people to take such drastic measures, when the termination of life represents the ending of all they know? If the ending of a life can cause such pain and sorrow, what more the tragedy surrounding it?
With all that is great and blessed by God himself, I hope the world becomes a better place.

Life as a Whole
Dear All,
It's been a while since I last posted anything, and I heartily apologise! Much has happened in the span of what, 3 weeks, and I'm seriously starting to think that life's gonna change for many people, including me, in the coming future.
First off though, my trip to Hanoi was a total total blast, and I guess I now have an inkling of what it's like to live like a king! I mean, it's not every day that you have a private butler to your hotel room, truffled omelettes for breakfast and champagne round the clock! Aside from this, the food in Vietnam is nothing short of magical, and at absurdly cheap prices too! We managed, on the last day of our trip, to rustle up some Suckling Pig and Roast Duck from a famous stall (which turned out to be a dirty-ass shop at the roadside with dirty-ass fan blowing on their Suckling Pig and Roast Duck, with a dirty-ass bucket of sauce next to it... D'oh!), and it was absolutely fantastic pork, for about US$16 for a kilo of Suckling Pig! Woah, if this was the situation in sunny S'pore, half of S'pore's Chinese population's gonna come out looking like the here for the ASEAN Sumo Wrestling Federation Championships. Vietnam's a beautiful, beautiful place, but akin to a beautiful homeless woman. If you can look past the dirt and the grime that has accumulated throughout the years, you'll see a gorgeous, tragic beauty, unique and unsurpassed.
If you guys have seen the F1 races recently, you'd have seen something to remember for a while to come. Now, I'm not an F1 fan myself, and even after having the privilege to attend the event in a corporate suite, I still can't see myself watching F1 on a regular basis, but it was interesting in its own way, I suppose. To hear engines roaring and tearing out eardrums, with vehicles speeding at up to 300km/h, it's a unique, one-of-a-kind experience that you can't find anywhere else! Apparently, due to the adrenalin, the concentration and the heat of the car, F1 drivers lose an average of 6kg every race! Woah, that's cool. Now all the Singapore government has to do is find F1 cars large enough to fit the fat, tubby kids that are increasing in multitudes all over Singapore, and watch their problems 'melt' away! =D
With so many things going on now, how does one keep track of things?! On another note, Farand Chen's going into Tekong in 9 days time, and the jabroni's actually excited! Good on you, mate! Gonna miss you!
Come tomorrow, the age of food arrives. Hope the world is ready for it! =)

Or What You Will
Everyone around me just seems to be emo recently.
Many things have happened, but most amazing thing that happened, I suppose, is that I discovered stuff about life, stuff which I knew existed but not in my reality, I guess. Small things, but big in their own way.
Friends. Friends spill out of every corner, be they boyhood chums, police buddies, mutual aquaintances, loves, family friends and what not. Some are good for casual chatting, some are meant for more, and some you just have an innate ability to trust above all else. It's not easy finding friends like that, and it's God's private gift to you that you do possess them. Thankfully, I do have a couple of them, who've stuck by, through all sorts o' stuff, rubbish or emo, serious or not. Guess this has to come out, even though this post's probably gonna be flooded with a tonne of dumb-arse comments... =) Without them, dreams are just dreams (literally), and nothing more than a passing cloud. I hope everyone reading this does try to realise a dream or two, and understand that to build on a vision, and to plan for a future, is more exhilarating and exciting than you can possibly imagine.
On another note, there are just some people in the world that you just can't understand, no matter how hard you try, and some people whom just can't understand you. I for one, cannot for the life of me understand how some people can talk trash to everyone around them, but daren't even face up to a confrontation, and wimp out at the first opportunity. It's ridiculous how a person at the bottom of the barrel can actually assume that he's the cream on top, and act as if he's worth the price of the most expensive cheese. Jeez, wake up, and smell the fart-bombs, you donut!
Sorry, there're just a couple o' types of people in the world I can't stand. And you're one of them, punk.
Colosso's out. We're ready. Give us all you got!
Miss you baby. Very very very very much! =(

Yet Another Quick Update in Our Lives
Dear all,
Must apologise, for the few people that actually know this blog exists! Given that the 3 of us are the slackest jabronis around, and that the last post was more than a month ago, I'm inclined to offer a hearty apology, and a sincere beratement to my two comrades who've yet to surface themselves on this blog in a while... Ah, I ramble.
Anyway, so so much has happened in the past month or so, that I don't think it's possible to jot it all down, given that I'm shacked out and lazy as an overweight rich boy on a luxury bed. Firstly, the dinner at Shin. That was one of the best, (local) dinners I've had this year, with perfect friends and conversation, coupled by sensational food! Never mind the fact that we spent enough money to pay all the cardinals in the Vatican to tap-dance for us. Really hope you enjoyed it, Rach! This one's for you!
Our 2nd Taste Test was by far the more daunting of the two, with a tougher, older, more critical crowd, and yet... WE SURVIVED! Glad our efforts paid off, and we got relatively, and sometimes grudgingly positive comments, with reunions with old teachers and all. Look forward to seeing you again, Ms Neo! =D
It's definitely a path worth striding on, despite the obstacles and heavy cost of taking this road.
The Dark Knight was without a doubt the best movie of the year. Sounds cliched, but Heath Ledger is really the best of them all. Hope his soul rests easy up there! Don't think there'll ever be a Joker like him, and given that Batman's been around for donkey years, that's saying something. Absolutely riveting performance, I say!
That's all for now, I guess, till next time, amigos, adios!
Don't really use this blog for this, but I'm really missing Cyn so so so much! Man, still can't understand the effect that that girl has on me! Come back soon, please! =(

Success is but a few steps away!
Well, there's been nuthin' new for a while, but a lotta stuff's been happening lately though.
14th June: First successful taste test! It's been nerve-wracking, and lotsa work's been put into it,
but we did it in the end, so bring on the rest, we'll take it on! =D Feedback's been
good and useful, and we'll try to work on them, as much as we can, promise!
21st June: Kung Fu Panda's good shit! Hahaha.. Really good, and free movie as well. However,
fact that the tickets were for a charity for the Breastfeeding Women's Society meant
squealing babies, exasperated parents and tram parking lots in the cinema... Makes
me wonder why parents would bring their babies and toddlers to watch a movie
about cute li'l animals beat the living crap outta each other, however cute they look...
22nd June: Just came back from a class outing with my 33/05 homies! Damn man, CS: Source
has never been more fun than watching strangers join our game and getting the
daylights smacked out of them, eh Koan Ge? Hehehe... Good fun, good fun! We
should do it soon man! Whoohoo! =)
Anyway, it's been good fun so far, and I at least, am looking forward to an action-packed month and a half to come, with shit hitting the roof, and falling on those unlucky enough to be standing under. Have a great week all!

Of Birthdays and Celebrations
Well well well! Just a quick update in the life of Xi-Wei, and a li'l of Andrew and Farand as far as I know...
1. It was my birthday on the 26th! Had an awesome time staying at M Hotel, with the can-buy-a-house-with-two-dogs tab at the J Restaurant in the hotel, and the Lychee Martinis and the Cosmos at the J Bar! Music was decent, ambience was good, company and drinks was fantastic! Johnny boy, the next time you're going ta J Bar, you have but to say the word... and I'll see if I wanna go. M Hotel is a cool, trendy, sexy place to go, if you're feeling reasonably wealthy and wanna a slick place to chill.
2. Te-pastry by KevinBakeries! Found a new awesome place to chill with my homies, with superb and discounted food, and a possible close link to in future...;-) Never mind that he happens to be my uncle, it's sexily good, from an unbiased point of view! For those staying in the East, it's the new cafe in the condo Makena. Pizzas, scones and apple pie will never look the same outside again.
3. Ed-Bangers@Zouk! Just came back from the Ed-Bangers event at Zouk last night, and I swear, the crowd in Zouk's getting kinda weird. Music was awesome to the core (Uffy and Sebastian were so damn good, I swear, God was nodding his head), but the people were kinda a disappointment.
First off, there were too many guys.
Second, a portion of those guys were there BECAUSE there were too many guys.
Third, there were a buncha losers who kept trying to be the center of the crowd, and when that didn't work out that well, tried diving to create the center.
Fourth, the Ang Moh chicks were pretty damn hot, but were making out with ang moh guys instead of each other... the price of drinks must have gone up.
On hindsight though, there were a few consolations to the whole night, one being that I chilled with cousins whom I've never chilled with before, despite being good friends all our lives, and will definitel chill with again! Secondly, my cousin's friend was pretty much the second sweetest girl in the world, if not for my Cynthia! (Yes, definitely. I'm sure of it. No doubt about that.) Lastly, Zion Road Char Kway Teow. A $5 plate, with $1 extra hum.
Life is good. Let's keep it that way, shall we peeps? Holla!

Found a new awesome place to chill with my homies, with superb and discounted food, and a possible close link to in future...;-) Never mind that he happens to be my uncle, it's sexily good, from an unbiased point of view! For those staying in the East, it's the new cafe in the condo Makena. Pizzas, scones and apple pie will never look the same outside again.
3. Ed-Bangers@Zouk! Just came back from the Ed-Bangers event at Zouk last night, and I swear, the crowd in Zouk's getting kinda weird. Music was awesome to the core (Uffy and Sebastian were so damn good, I swear, God was nodding his head), but the people were kinda a disappointment.
First off, there were too many guys.
Second, a portion of those guys were there BECAUSE there were too many guys.
Third, there were a buncha losers who kept trying to be the center of the crowd, and when that didn't work out that well, tried diving to create the center.
Fourth, the Ang Moh chicks were pretty damn hot, but were making out with ang moh guys instead of each other... the price of drinks must have gone up.
On hindsight though, there were a few consolations to the whole night, one being that I chilled with cousins whom I've never chilled with before, despite being good friends all our lives, and will definitel chill with again! Secondly, my cousin's friend was pretty much the second sweetest girl in the world, if not for my Cynthia! (Yes, definitely. I'm sure of it. No doubt about that.) Lastly, Zion Road Char Kway Teow. A $5 plate, with $1 extra hum.
Life is good. Let's keep it that way, shall we peeps? Holla!

of tickle me emo.
Alright, so since wei is complaining he's lonely here, I shall grace this blog.
Hello.
2 things.
Number 1, I am emo, like E-M-O emo. Graduation and all, basically it's 2 hours of clapping and then you coming to the realisation that IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON BITCH AND GET ON WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
Number 2, don't know if you've seen this before, but check this out.

Home Is Where The Heart Is
Alright, so i just came back from Penang today, and I've eaten enough to last me through the rest of police life and a large chunk of my uni life, and probably enough oil in this trip to last 3 generations of my offspring. The Penang Char Kway Teow and the Lor Bak and the Chendol and the Orh Luak's probably the most awesome hawker food I've eaten in my life (note the fat content in all that... Makes me the next Michelin Man!), but I'm happy to be home!
This being said, I have an interview tomorrow which I only knew about just now, but ah well. And I got work tomorrow! Damn... We'll see what it brings, i guess. Man, this week has been filled so much food and stuff, with hot dogs with my bros, hawker food with my family, that it's time, high time, to do some soul-searching and self-reflection.
Which means running. Lotsa running.
Can't wait to see mah babeh tomorrow! =)
Waiting for more dogs ta come, eh handsomes? =)

1st Post of the Millennium
Hey All!
1st Post, in my first blog ever! How awesome, to get a blog about 8 years after everyone else decided to get one right? =( Anyway, who gives a monkey's nuts when you start?! It's what's churned out that really matters! Okie dokey, here are some basic guides!
1) This is a blog for 3! (Myself, Andrew, and Farand!)
2) This is a blog where anything and everything can be aired, so if you happen to offend any one of us, try not to read this blog for a while, until there is peace in the world again...
3) If you DO decide to pay us a visit after reading our blog, please note that Police Defensive Tactics have evolved to such a level where suspects would rather surrender sheepishly than attempt to escape.
4) This blog is for all to read, and none to avoid! Past events, future ones, and current in-progress that involves, ex-Victorians, drinking (Schweppes), partying, cool stuff, laughing at not-so-cool stuff are all blurted out here.
Rights, now that that's all settled, We'll see you guys around ya? Have Fun!
Cheers! =D
