I’m back.

Close friends may not notice my “absence” much because I still talk/ meet up with them often enough. And the thing is, I don’t miss blogging all that much. It has become more of an outlet for my boredom at work, which is oso why I am not seen blogging much during the weekends.

To pick up a little from where I left off, I wanna thank everybody who came for Grandpa’s wake, to pay your last respects to him & to give me support & comfort. I hope I gave a little light to what a great man Grandpa was (and I believe still is).

He is a man that despite his somewhat old-fashioned thinking, never failed to pamper everyone in his family. Children, Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren included. He knows what each and everyone of us likes to eat and makes it a point to include it in our weekly meals. He loves to see the whole family gathered together and thus, the countless extravagant meals outside, not even counting our every Sunday dinner at his place. I will never be able to forget how he buys us our favourite things, brings us to our favourite restaurants, treats us to family holidays abroad etc. Along the way, some family members even had the luxury of being bought things like houses and cars from Grandpa. It would be impossible to list down every wonderful thing he has done, because he is that wonderful. Despite being fairly quiet, you know he’s contented just sitting there watching us being happy. He puts everyone else before himself, even in death. We were told during the wake that he chose to take a hard way down to hell, just so that his descendants could have a better life. Some may believe it, some may not, but I think it is just like him to do such a thing, and it’s upsetting that he can’t even have a good life even in death. And it’s his choice to suffer, not that it was imposed on him. One thing I am glad is that I made it to the hospital in time, right before he slipped away. This man has gone through immense hardships his whole life & has come out strong. I think his is a truly worthy story to know. The company’s book has been printed, and just by reading some odds and ends, one can tell what a great man Grandpa was. I will never get tired of talking about Grandpa but maybe just not here, not now. Here’s a song for Grandpa, and it’s one of the songs the band played during the wake.

My Way – Frank Sinatra
And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, i did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
Yes, it was my way

I still miss him. I oways will. 24 years of amazing memories is hard to forget.
49 days isn’t all that long.. Its just 1 month +. But somehow it does feel like an awful long time looking back.

Where do I even start with what else have been happening?

I know everyone’s concerned and excited about my new place. But sad to say, the incompetent interior designer screwed up bad so everything is gonna be delayed. When it’s done, I shall post pictures of my new pad. It’s gonna be a riot. Everyone loves how my room looks but I still find it hard to stomach the fact that it looks way different from what I expected plus they got my wall colour wrong.

And if you still dunno, I’m staying at the Cote D’Azur for the time being. It’s the condo beside Parkway Parade. I love it’s pool BUT I packed my swim wear with everything else and it’s all locked up in the new house so I guess I have to give swimming a miss. Not like I have the time to swim anyway. I love this area cos it’s super convenient but it’s so fucking small. I miss my old house!! This is just a sneak peek. You haven't even seen the pool yet.

Speaking about my old house, darls and I miss it so much that we drove back there just to look at it and have a smoke there the other day. *sigh*

And speaking of darls, he has been patiently helping me blow my hair dry every night. Everyone knows how much a pain my hair can be to dry but he offered to dry it for me while I watch the telly/ fall asleep. And he’s been doing such a good job that I’m so proud of him.

BTW, daddy bought me a laptop. So much for me taking my own sweet time buying my own lappy. Daddy settled it for me instead. –beams- Which was just as well cos the trip to the PC Show was not good. You all know how I hate crowds lah. So it was ‘made up for’ by having a beer and some food at Paulaner., which was good as usual.

Let’s see what else I managed to do over this period… This is gonna be damn random and not in chronological order..

I watched Phantom of The Opera. Somehow I enjoyed it better the last time round but it was still good! So much for VIP seats though. I was hoping it’ll just be a tad more comfy.

I oso managed to go JB for dinner. I was missing the food at Peling so much! But the jam back to Singapore was bad. 2 freaking hours inching along. It din help that the driver had to pee very badly. No, it wasn’t me. Just imagine the agony. Haha

Vesak Day was Zouk, St James, VD. Don’t ask.

Meet ups with my lovelies are oways great. Great entertainment for me and everyone around. Haha. Kai was so hyper when we went to Central that I got dizzy looking at her and she was so subdued at C.A.N Café that Mandy had a good time flicking her forehead. Wicked shit. More fun will follow when Kai comes back from Japan!

Sor Zai, I’m glad you are back in my life. Maybe in a different way this time round but I knew from the very start that we can oways be good friends. Thanks for all your help!

It’s seems like a long time since I last went to the movies. So Ocean’s Thirteen it was. I loved it. But then again, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Andy Garcia were more than enough reason for me.

Tiger’s back from his month-long stint in Germany. With a little souvenir for us. And he can’t stop saying ‘foxy’.

Darls and I ate at J-Toshi last week. It’s M Hotel’s Jap restaurant. There’s some anniversary promo going on and their weekend dinner buffet is one-for-one. What can I say, it was damn shiok. After that was drinks with Jane and Tiger. Cheers!
Who doesn't love a fat cat eh? i think it ate too much Nasi Lemak. We found it lazing around after our drinks.

There’s a lot more I want to say. Not so much about things I have done over this month, but more my thoughts. But I shall let it rest for the time being. I will leave it to simmer. And I will let it out when it’s ready to boil. I am a Scorpio. Know my traits well before you bite off more than you can chew.
