Fans of the In and out burger or beef anyway. You need to watch this.

i am immensely disturbed but the footage of the man prodding the sick cattle.

Ironically, I was speaking to khomi this afternoon about the goodness of being vegan.
Eating Meat just increases your carbon footprint...and to think these animals are at the mercy of some unscrupulous and malevolent beings : (

the old adage goes 'One man's trash is another man's treasure' ,
thus my old items ranging from sunglasses, shoes, a bag and some clothes have found themselves new leases of life at the most recent flea and easy @ Zouk.

A flea market can't get any better really, think air-con and music. I've been to two others which required me to douse myself with fluids just to survive from the heat or bring along a stereo set just to hype things up , only to have someone tell me to shut it off because Akon sucks. Laughs.

Well, the music wasn't my choice to begin with. (points fingers @ my brother) .

With that said, I look forward to my next, and perhaps this time I would actually take some time pick out a polaroid camera, and items that I like.

Tips on how to hold a flea market
1) You would need a clothes rack, trust me (People had digging boxes no matter how nice the clothes init are)
2) Bring a novelty Item, such as a hell-boy figurine my brother used. Attracts the attention
3)Bring your pet. Live action they say. Everyone loves a fuzzy thing and im sure your pet would be delighted too.
4)Picnic baskets, old suitcases even boxes will do the trick - only for people who are willing to rummage thru.
5)Bring a mirror if you have one. (What's seen cant be unseen)
6)Never let them try the clothes, from my observation, they wont buy it thereafter. Laughs
and Hey, i was really nice, I let everyone who requested try whatever they wanted.
7)Always offer a higher price and allow people to haggle it down thereafter.
8)Heres the time also to recycle your old plastic carriers.
or be a patriot and offer plastic bags with the singapura logo. *chuckles*
9)offer your friends free clothes - what are friends for anyway
10) Dont forget to stash snacks and drinks. The hours get grueling. Better yet, have yourself proper meals.

that's all folks.

Tonight, I'm most impressed with that little piece of paper addressed to me. with just one succinct little sentence scribbled on .

and Dont you just love surprises. I do : )

Tonight,
my heart goes out to Alex..




My dear friends,

I hope that your Chinese New Year celebrations have been wonderful so far. For me, I’m grateful to God that I was granted an invaluable opportunity to spend it with all my loved ones right here…it has truly been a memorable and special one…

The time has come for me to break my silence. Some of you have been wondering where I’ve been lately, and have asked why I’ve not been as active in Facebook as before. As a self-admitted computer freak that spends a lot of time on the Net, I’ve come to cherish my online friendships as much as my offline ones. Therefore, I feel that it is only right to explain my pending departure from Facebook to all of you, instead of just abruptly taking off without saying a proper goodbye. You guys deserve so much more than that….at least to know why I’m leaving…

Many do not know that for years now, I’ve been battling my medical condition, which has become increasingly life-threatening recently. I thought that I had won the battle in my previous fight with my disease, but little did I realize that I am yet to face the greatest war of my life. It goes to prove that life can be so unpredictable. We’ll never know what tomorrow may bring…

In the months to come, I will be undergoing a series of complicated treatments. This time, I am expecting greater pain and struggle than before…but I will face these as heightened challenges that I need to cross in order to get through to the next phase of my life. I’ve come to know just how precious good health can be…so I intend to fight my way back to recovery. During this time, I will be focusing on gathering all the strength I’ve got left within me to recuperate. I’m sure you will understand that this will be my foremost priority and mission for now. Hence, I will be deactivating my Facebook account soon, until a time when my condition is more stable and I am fully back in the pink of health…hopefully.

I want to thank all of you for your willingness to become my friend here. I’ve grown pretty close to some of you that I know I’ll always carry a part of you in me, wherever I may be. I just want you to know that I truly appreciate the few minutes that you spend each day / week to write and share with me about your life, your ups, and your downs (you know who you are). I am deeply touched and honored by your trust and concern…you make the most wonderful lifelong friends anyone can ever ask for :)

To some, I’ve become your “goduncle”, “big bro”, and even….your “lau ke” :). I will always remember these endearing terms, as they never fail to being a smile upon my face when I think of the fun (and sometimes unimaginably crazy) times we’ve shared together. You guys have truly been my most solid and loyal “back-up team / supporters” whenever I find myself in ‘sticky’ situations / emergencies…my partners in crime, my allies, my friends in need…call it whatever you want...but one thing’s for sure…I luv you guys :)

And to those that I’ve yet to know better, I pray I will get such opportunities to know you at a more personal level in the near future. Please forgive me for not being the perfect friend that you’ve wanted or expected. I may not have known a lot about you…but I do know that you’ve been nothing but sweet, kind, and wonderful towards me. You may think that you are invisible or unimportant to me, but you are certainly not. I thank you for your willingness to embark on this friendship with me. Each and everyone of you shall be in my thoughts…:)

I hope to see all of you again soon…either here on Facebook, or in real life. I dare not ask for much…all I need from you is just your prayers. Please pray that I will pull through the darkest hours of my life…that someday soon, I will regain my health again and I will be the happy-go-lucky guy that you’ve come to know, once again. In return, I also pray that all of you will be blessed with good health always. And I pray that you will never have to face life with such uncertainty like me…but to always treasure every moment of your life the best that you can. Life is the most precious gift we have…so please spend time with your loved ones whenever you can….this is my sincere advice to all of you…

I hope that I will leave you with pleasant thoughts and memories of me….God bless you and take good care of yourselves….


“True friendship isn’t about being inseparable…it is being separated & nothing changes”


Luv always,

Alex

Here I am half dressed in my Shirt and bustier dress, In case you were thinking this post was going to get raunchy, half dressed means my lil dress isn't zipped up, thats all :)

I'm all ready for the new year, but hey. One's gotta wait upon all in the house. This refers specifically to the big ole brother. Who might be snoozing way too much into the afternoon.

so the reunion dinner's last night was one of the rare times we get my grandma and grandpa sitting at the same table, the tale goes way back but we shall not delve into that. Dinner was surprising good, for a modest looking restaurant down at the Orchid Country Club. But sure, I'll come back. Beats a place that spots a grand facade but lousy food really.

I've not looked too much into the resto's name , I think its called Orchid Country club beer garden or something that bears semblance to that.

If you ever hop down. try out the Steven chicken and the Abalone porridge at 70bucks a pop.

Other perks include wind in your hair and fact that you'll be metres away from the driving range.
and erm, Free Parking. *chuckles*

with that, Happy Chinese New Year Folks.
But lets not be careless with our new found wealth thereafter thus making it to the ranks of the nouveau riche.

I'm listening to Tom Petty's - Free Falling.

so, there I was two weeks straight, chilling at Summer Breeze.
This Charming little cafe, hidden in a hushed lil corner of Pasir Ris Park.

If you like late nights that stretch beyond 2am, the sea breeze and savory chicken wings. That's where you'd wanna go.
I downed 1/2 a bottle of wine, couple pints of Hoegarden and did without my dinner last night. And before I even knew , it was 330am...

over the week, I read my 1st Haruki Murakami book- Dance Dance Dance, wasn't particularly impressed, but I would try Kafka on the Shore since a friend recommended. I tried reaching Vs Naipaul's Half a Life today, however 10 pages into the book my attention span was worn thin... I guess I'll try something else.


among the things I'm looking forward to in March, there's the
The incubus concert @ fort canning and Fujiya and Miyagi :)
Lets hope these plans materialize.
