obsession

passion? obsession? indulgence?
addiction?? distraction?? desire??

i'm hooked.... i crave for more...

every night... just 2 hours long....

my daily drug ....

that i cant have it all...

but to ease and soothe the tension...

is what i hope for...

just one more.. as i always thought...

darling! come to sleep!.. as my hubby calls...

just one more....

I dedicate my latest post to those...

who share the same agony as me....

=p

bizarre... nostagic.... addiction

bizarre.

in times like this where everyone, every trade and every business is screaming for financial help, there is one industry that perhaps might survive silently - the red-light industry or the forbidden-fruit industry or the "meat" industry... i attended SEXPO today and it was just CROOOOWDED and JAM-PACKED with human... it was like a super huge adult store with live performances of nudity....




but what caught my attention was this man who used his ***k to do art... imagine, soaking the manhood into acrylic paint and enduring the raw sensation of rubbing against rough texture like artboard... yikes!! the feeling must not be good... things people do for living...



nostalgic.

First wave of nostalgic feeling was all because of a duck.


to fully enjoy a well-cooked duck, one must make use of all five sensors and that was what i did.

• hear - within a short span of 12 mins, fran asked this question several times "geraldine, do you want to eat the duck now? it may not seem alot as you read but imagine that happening again and again and again... with that, my hearing sent a signal to my brain and decoded her message "DUCK IS GOOOOOD... FASTER EAT!!!!"
• sight - the full rosewood colour on the skins denote that the duck was cooked till perfect timing. any shorter, it will be pale but any longer, it will be too dark.
• touch - the sprinnnnnngy feel as i depressed my fingers into the meat.. one word "NOICE".
• smell - the roasted ducky fragrant... well, let's just say that it is beyond words.
• taste - the moment i brought the drumstick close to my mouth, i could feel that my salivary glands were accumulating. as my teeth sank into the meat, there was just one thing that registered in my mind... "FWAH!!!! Damn good la!!!! Thank you Captain Nua... this is the closest thing to the 93.3 roast duck!!"

second wave of nostalgic feeling came after we finished Chi Bi 2.


as my friends were switching from DVD to TV, something damn "homely" caught our ears... it was a short film called Haze, produced by our very own Singaporean. It revolved around two teenage Singaporeans who were talking in their extremely-complicated singlish while doing their gig. So, what is so complicated? we reckon that singaporean are the only rare group of people who can use at least two to three different languages in one sentence. For example, "So, 现在 how ah? 你 damn jalar la! how can so siao siao one?" It is really difficult to explain the excitement and amusement we derived from this Singapore short film. Let's put it in this way -


你要understand mah- after watching all the angmo show with the angmo accent for 很久, can hear the "la" and the "lor" is damn shiong hor!

addiction.

the story is about a boy who played some pranks on his friends and today, the prankster is my hubby.

He drove in circles around some roundabouts while ah tan and fan ge was following closely behind us. When i said circles, i really meant that he went around the roundabout a couple of time and the aim was to confuse ah tan. Plus, he "purplely" stopped in front of the traffic light and refused to go until it turned amble which also would trap ah tan from moving off... the best bit is, ah tan took the "bait" and played along too.


making pranks on friends is something that i normally would not tolerate but i didnt stop him. one thing that i am sure - hubby was a careful driver. the more important thing was, he chuckled like a little boy and that laughter was just simply an addiction...


i just love it.

Fran's Brithday

just in case if some do not have access into facebook... here are the selected pictures from Fran's bird-day.....

so it all started with a simple dinner and some beers at the German Club....


Fran posing with Chanel Box after receiving the gift from Felix n Fan-ge
(apparently and obviously, the packaging was much more valuable than the gift... =p)


And so... we went on our separate ways after dinner (around 10pm), pretending that it was all for the night. Again and obviously, Fran had no idea what was installed for her....


Four hours later.... some of us sent off to Sherwood... YAWN!!!!!! it was bloody 130am.....zzzzzzz


We STOMPED into her room and TADAH!!!! she was caught by SURPRISE!!!! and what was her reaction??
"WHAT THE FUCK!!!! SHIT SHIT!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! 非礼啊!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
(I'm sorry fran but your reaction is just classic... since there is no video to show it, i'll just have to put them into words.... =p)


Felix (with victory sign) outside Fran's room and Fran was still thinking "What the fuck?"


so, off we went for Byron Bay in a tarago....


we struggled with food and chairs and stuff ....


waited and waited for sunrise... fran attempted to sing for us.... -shivers-


then 歌神 took over instead....=p


as the sun rose, i gave fran her first present... "Manual of Operation Francisca"


we also discovered Darth Andrew


me and my darth vander husband


felix attempting his qi-gong


then fran opened up her second present... "Family Photo Frame"
(sigh.. tot she would cry when she saw this gift but sigh.. nt successful...)


lastly the final present... "just a casual necklace"


and so... we proceeded to our breakfast place... savoury muffin, sandwich n apple pie
(all made by moi)


feeling was quite nice at breakfast... nice scenery... nice food .... a group of good frnz....




naturally, after feeding on the calories, we decided to "kill off" by doing trek-walking. before we set off, a photo to show that we were in one good happy piece....


by the time we reached the foot of the mountain, some of us were just.. err... out of breathe?
(by the way, the red arrow shows our starting point)


pictures of posers...








well... a little drama happened... fran was always on a slow (or careful) mode during trek-walking... realli realli realli realli realli realli realli slow (or careful)....


and because of that, merv had finally decided... "what a mess... dun stop me... i'm gng to jump"


(well, of course the above is just pure rubbish and bullshit! buhahahahaa)

so much for the crappy pictures... here are some top nicer photos (by my preference)

Summary of Operation Francisca

The day is finally over. All the detailed planning led to the following ten points.

1. You were kept in suspense of the entire operation.

2. You were told that the boys were just having some gaming session while we did shopping but when in actual fact, they took the opportunity to duck out and collect the car.

3. You were made to believe we would just have the battling with Pork Knuckles as your birthday celebration.

4. You were asked to relieve yourself in the toilet while we had the chance to inform your friend that Yum Cha was cancelled due to this surprise trip.

5. You believe that we would be having breakfast the next morning.

6. You left us believing all of the above.

7. You refused to rest and this caused some of us to halt our operation and had to feed the mozzies outside your house while waiting for you to enter slumberland.

8. You were taken by SURPRISE when you saw us STOMPED into your bedroom, screaming “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!” at bloody 2am.

9. You reacted in the way we expected “What the fuck! What the fuck!! Why are you guys doing here???? AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT”.. well, even thought that is not how a girl should react but because it is you, we sorta knew it.

10. You looked like you were in a mess but most importantly, you were happy like how all birthday girls should be.

Happy Birthday, Fran and thank all who had made the operation a successful one.

Dish of Love

do not belittle this bowl of fried rice.

you may think, "what's the big deal about fried rice?" all it takes is just 45 mins, some overnight cold rice, eggs, meat and sauce. if that is your thought, then it is so wrong.

it may be prepared in just 45 mins but every second of the preparation and the cooking counts. the amount of heat used during the cooking is important. if it is too cold, it will end up being soggy. if it is too hot, the heat will burn the rice and its ingredients and you will end up with a bowl of charcoal.

also, the chef's mind and strength is a core component... he has to be precise and creative in designing the perfect marination for the rice and meat... he needs to master and control his strength when beating the eggs and tossing of rice over the lightly oil pan...

finally, we examine the intention behind cooking the rice... it must be cooked with concentrated love and care. Not forgetting, it is the thought and action that brings this dish to its fullest flavor.

so this is no ordinary fried rice because...

it is a dish of love.

"Thank you, darling"

belated stuffs

My latest hobby : to MIA from my blog (chuckles!!). well, in actual fact, I'm having some serious writer's block. Lots of thoughts but nothing seems to flow out of my finger pores... everything seems to stuck somewhere or evaporate into thin air. For today, my focus is on some belated stuffs....

Firstly.

BELATED CONGRATULATIONS TO MY DEAREST HUIYUN n DANNY!!!!!!!

(many regrets that i could not attend this important day personally but i believe that your occassion was blessed by many who love and care for you. not neglecting the fact that it will be graced by Lord's love. so here, i pray and hope that you will have many lovely and good memories in this marriage. to danny, she is a lovely girl from the day i knew her to now... be nice to her and love her unconditionally).

Secondly.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAREST DADDY!!!!

(this section is private and confidential. details have been given to my old man, who in the first place, would not visit my blog... hur hur hur... still, i wish tt my dad will always be in pink of health and in pink of spirit!!)

Thirdly.

HAPPY BELATED VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL!!!!!!! (Valentine's Day - the day when cupids will enjoy their harvest. the day when the streets are suddenly packed with lovers who feel that the world evolves only around them. the day when roses seems to be redder and chocolate seems to be sweeter. but what happens after Valentine's Day?

i never had the habit of spending this day lavishly. however, i always have this belief that on this day, it must be spent with the ones you love. Be it your parents, your siblings, your spouse, your bf/gf, or even your friends. never mind the prices of roses or the chocolates that seems ridiculously marked up but as long as it is for someone you love, it will always be worth it. even if it is spent over a bowl of instant noodle, that meal would be made of LOVE.


Happy Valentine's Day to all! To the married/attached, may you have many more wonderful valentines together and that, the arrow of the cupids will remain deeply attached to your hearts. To the singles, may valentine's day brings you lot of love and that, always remember that your cupid is working hard for you.)

tricia... this is for you

well, the picture speaks for itself... so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my dearest sister!!!

may your wishes be fulfilled in your coming year. have a smashing birthday!!!
