Vblog?
Hello!
Buddy JL wants to organize a old sec school gathering and ponders the choice of 'conducive' location to hold one cos assuming some like her are already parents to be able to allow their kids have a place to play while the mums catch-up. I had SLIGHT hesitation cos I DON want to be listening to diaper-logy! Of cos she said there are also some who are still child-free like me! Really, what are the chances.. more parents turning up or singles?
anyway, told her Vivo might be good idea cos there are playground ma but apparently, she's not aware. So, I shot a video on the way back from lunch... Hee..
I REALLY LOVE MY NAME RACHEL. haha.. watever that sounds like but I think if you don love your name you probably don feel good about yourself too..
Let me tell you how I got this name for myself. It started off after I was hooked on F.R.I.E.N.D.S and of cos w the character Rachel acted by Jennifer Aniston.
Back then, I was watching video of this sitcom til pass midnite during my secondary & literately laughing til I choked on a sweet while watching.. remembering everyone was asleep, mum & dad would came out to check wat e hell was that hysterical laughers about.. ya.. I still love this sitcom and hasn't had another that I really enjoyed.. but I had to consider the fact that I did not watch much for the pass 10 years.. wat Prison break & all - I DID NOT watch a single episode.. hahaha.. but don you think peo who glued to the tv catching all these dramas are either in their teens or those Obasan? lolx..
Secondly, I think Rachel is a great name! ha.. you may not believe it but once I went to a 'name-teller' (I dono wat the proper name to call them!) he said my chinese name is not v 'helpful' against my 8-characters but luckily I chose this name Rachel which actually 'helped' me alot. I duno la.. but he showed me some materials that describes the elements & 'pros/cons' of the names etc etc.. so jus listen lor..
THEN, don you think there're many people by the name of Rachel whom you 'know' them?? e.g. celebraties?? haha...I'm talking about pretty & famous ones ok?!
Rachel Weisz
She don need any introduction!
Rachel McAdams
Ok, this name might not sound v familiar but her face might ring a bell or two.. her most recent firm is in Shelock Holmes as Adler - Shelock's ex-wife cum smart con-woman.. hee
another movie she starred in was The Notebook - you have to watch this if you're sucker for romance & tears. FYI, don think only women are sucker for this kinda movie ok, cos this movie was highly recommended by my guy friend who insisted I had to watch this, so much so he went to buy the dvd for me to watch! haa..Synopsis - The Notebook is an epic love story centered around an older man who reads aloud to an older, invalid woman whom he regularly visits. From a faded notebook, the old man's words bring to life the story about a couple who is separated by World War II, and is then passionately reunited, seven years later, after they have taken different paths. Though her memory has faded, his words give her the chance to relive her turbulent youth and the unforgettable love they shared.
As teenagers, Allie (Rachel McAdams) and Noah (Ryan Gosling) begin a whirlwind courtship that soon blossoms into tender intimacy. The young couple is quickly separated by Allie's upper-class parents who insist that Noah isn't right for her. Several years pass, and, when they meet again, their passion is rekindled, forcing Allie to choose between her soul mate and class order. This beautiful tale has a particularly special meaning to an older gentleman (James Garner) who regularly reads the timeless love story to his aging companion (Gena Rowlands).
I think I'll end off here.. short entry ya.. hee.. The Notebook is REALLY a great firm.. go watch it if you've not!
Saw this simple elegant looking (to me la!) braclet & knew my aunt could 'help' me get it.. by making one for me! ha.. indeed when she come back 2 weeks ago, she brought me to Arab St & bought some accessories to customise my own!
Viola! My VERY OWN SELF-DESIGNED BRACLETS!
CHIO NOT???
Then, for co D&D, I did a very last min job.. created a necklace out of the remaining chain I had to suit my Greek goddess look... wahahah... & I did it 5mins b4 I rush out!
CHIO NOT?????!!!
Jump topic.
Nah, see my water heater tank.. w.t.h.... fall of the wall!!
Luckily, no one was in the toilet or showering, otherwise I cant imagine what hurt it would have caused!
Screwed the technican who did this.. cos he used a shorter nail than usual that couldnt hold off the weight of the tank in the wall, hence..
Here goes Hanbaobao's Science class: Well, U all know what is photosynthesis.. Chemosynthesis is right the direct opposite. Simple enough? U CANT get any more simplier than that?!
If you think u've got more brain cells to kill, I've got wiki's definition of it below..
Hydrothermal Vents on Earth
In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic molecules (e.g. hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis. Chemoautotrophs, organisms that obtain carbon through chemosynthesis, are phylogenetically diverse, but groups that include conspicuous or biogeochemically-important taxa include the sulfur-oxidizing gamma and epsilon proteobacteria, the Aquificaeles, the Methanogenic archaea and the neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria.
Many microorganisms in dark regions of the oceans use chemosynthesis to produce biomass from single carbon molecules. Two categories can be distinguished. In the rare sites at which hydrogen molecules (H2) are available, the energy available from the reaction between CO2 and H2 (leading to production of methane, CH4) can be large enough to drive the production of biomass. Alternatively, in most oceanic environments, energy for chemosynthesis derives from reactions between O2 and substances such as hydrogen sulfide or ammonia. In this second case, the chemosynthetic microorganisms are dependent on photosynthesis which occurs elsewhere and which produces the O2 that they require.
Many chemosynthetic microorganisms are consumed by other organisms in the ocean, and symbiotic associations between chemosynthesizers and respiring heterotrophs are quite common. Large populations of animals can be supported by chemosynthetic primary production at hydrothermal vents, methane clathrates, cold seeps, and whale falls. It has been hypothesized that chemosynthesis may support life below the surface of Mars, Jupiter's moon Europa, and other planets. --> Hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis: CO2 + O2 + 4H2S → CH2O + 4S + 3H2O
Hmm somethg wrong with my blogger posting page.. its in plain text! gosh!?! I NEED HTML! GGrr... somemore realised my draft post done in office wasnt sent to my yahoo mail & I had deleted it fm my outlook sent folder! dunno who the fucking hell i send wrongly to this time?! that last time i drew devil wings & horns on a coll photo & fwd it to a snr banker whom i dono !!

Hey I got OUR Birthday rite this time! Cos last yr I unforgiveablely mistaken we're celebrating our 35th or smthg nation's birthday - OOps! haa.. pai say..
While on our way to our flat, Honey & I was talking about how time flies.. where it seems just not long ago that we're celebrating it will some new frds.. goin to St James Balek Kampong nite & some of us winning the actual NDP parade tickets etc.. hmm. This year, I totally missed the NDP. Have been busy packing since Fri nite til 2am to move most of my 28yrs into a brand 'new' life! From packing to unpacking, excitedly trying out my new Miele vacuum cleaner, none stop wiping away e dust in all corners, putting things in order etc, etc.. all done thru sat & sun til late. Come Mon, it mostly left with Honey's cupboards, table, sofa-bed, huge bagsss of junks - I symbolically did some wiping & sit there wait for Honey to connect the new 42" TV ! Hee!!
Back to work again tmr & had taken half day leave to go back home cos ALL our furnitures are coming in - sofa, coffee table, dinning table/chairs & our Sealy bed!! woohoo!!! I'll be a Punggolian soon!
Now, that is really smthg worth asking "How's life after marriage?!".. ha.. U & I will know pretty soon..
shān qióng shuǐ jǐn at one's wits' end; at the end of one's rope; at the end of one's tether 山和水都到了尽头。比喻无路可走，陷入绝境。
**Initially, I thought this idiom/proverb (i dono wats e diff) simply means BROKE; BANKRUPT; no more money; very poor already.. which 'suit' my current state bcos of 'Baby'.. but now after googling & yahooing I realised from the explanation that it DON quite mean the same! In fact, the actual meaning is in a much worst state which I'm not in & don wana be!!!
I must say, although I hardly watch American Idol of sorts TV shows but whenever I see Simon Cowell he always had that suck-up look. Hardly smile & even if he does, it just superficial.
This time on Britains Got Talent, we have all seen a different side of him (if you noticed!). I would say, Susan has been more than mere inspirational. She brought out this innate nature of love, touch that is so, so heart-warming.. (I don't know wat better word to use, pardon my ltd vocabs! hee)
Just look at Cowell.. From this
1> 'You amazed me sweetie' look, to 2> 'Oh my.. oh my..' to lastly.. 3> Pure Joy of being happy when others is happy.
Happiness is indeed contagious. Be giving, be nice, make others happy & you'll be happy too. [*Disclaimer: What you sow today, will reap fruits in time)
I had a most embarassing moment (albeit not in public) this sat trying to catch some action of the Olympic Tae-kwon Do. For those peo who's reading this & did not know that I can actually kick some serious butts, I AM A (ex)TAEKWONDO expert! HAHA.. sparring type ok?! don play play..
Anyway, on the most-embarassing moment I had.. I forgot how to switch on my TV... duh.. 2 remote control: 1 for SCV 1 for TV & I was trying to recall..
damn, i think this is for SCV, the Samsung one shld be for tv but Y is the TV on but screen is blank.. damn.. 1 min passed & its stil blank! F***, had I accidentally switched off the SCV modem just now.. Kaoz.. press the SCV remote again try try... OK! now I got some screen showing but how to go to Channel 5?? **click click** trials&error.. Viola! I've got my Channel 5 Olympic Taekwondo Mens +80kg... hehehe
The only person in the living room was my nephew & I bet he was just keeping quiet & wondering if I really am so retarted or not.. :X - I seriously lost interest in watching tv (for too many reasons) but when something caught my attention I can be so glued to the screen that it happened couples of times that I had peo calling me so many times just across the living room & I dint even blink nor twitch! Heheh...
She'll let you in her house If you come knockin' late at night She'll let you in her mouth If the words you say are right If you pay the price She'll let you deep inside There's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car To go drivin' 'round She'll let you into the parts of herself That'll bring you down She'll let you in her heart If you got a hammer and a vise But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles How far'd you get To that place where you can't remember And you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path There'll be tenderness in the air She'll let you come just far enough So you know she's really there And she'll look at you and smile And her eyes will say She's got a secret garden Where everything you want Where everything you need Will always stay a million miles away
Hehehe... I finally got myself a NEW notebook!! TOtaLLy CoOL !! Woo Hoo...
I presents - Toshiba Satellite L200
At price of $1099 from the Sitex Show at Expo last weekend, its totally a great buy for home user like me! I cant find anyone who will disagree with me yet.. hehe

Death news of Superband group - Soul's member Ishi
According to Channel 8 website report, the nite b4 his death, his nick was written as "Goodby all of u"
Now, this kinda news is becoming all too familiar among the younsters now. Suicide had become a one solution for the depressed. PLEASE, SUICIDE IS NEVER AN END 2 YOUR PROBLEM.
Hai.. having said that, everyone and anyone should show some concern to anyone who needs it. That's why, i think i'm particularly sensitive if a person doesnt look good or appear in low spirits. Bcos, u never know when the last time u met him/her. U definately wont want to tell yourself, "If i had taken the extra time to care for em, he/she will not....."
For the friends.. It really just take a extra hr maybe or delay your sleeping hr... wat is lost? Only time, time which u couldnt keep but a frd you could save. For the depressed.. Ask for a listening ear, go to a frd, go to a stranger even.. sometimes, a stranger can be the best listener & adviser.
