Top Ten Signs That You Have a Good Friend.

Having written about "crush" and "love", I think Valentine's is also about friendship. Whereas love is about faithful, and friendship is about loyalty, both are about trust, commitment and appreciation. Trust in each other to confine, commitment of being there for each other, and appreciation what each other has done.

So here's my list of "Top Ten Signs That You Have a Good Friend". Once again, posted ahead of time...

#1 He/She is just a phone call away to la-kopi with you. And you two will blabber endlessly about nonsense and secrets. It is okay to just come out for kopi or milo after work, to just talk, to just keep you company, to just play silly LAN games (you know... Counterstrike and Warcraft?). It is good enough. Did I mention he/she will keep that secret for you?

#2 He/She never think twice about helping you. But he/she will think twice about how to help you. $ no problem.

#3 His/Her advices always seems to make perfect sense because he/she just understands you so well.

#4 You are not shy of saying anything stupid in front of him/her. He/she don't judge you by what you say because he/she knows it is all in the name of fun.

#5 Even when you two have not seen each other for a long time due to work commitments, etc., nothing changes between both of you. You still feel so close to him/her.

#6 He/she remembers your birthday. Who says birthdays are no big deal? =p He/she will get the perfect birthday present for you!

#7 You can that feel that he/she cares for you. You know he/she watches out for you.

#8 When there's something good, you know he/she will definitely jio (ask) you along. When things are bad, he/she will go thru' the ordeal with you. Good and bad times, he/she is there. He/she shares with you.

#9 Besides crappin' nonsense, there are some serious issues both of you can talk about. It is not only about fun.

#10 Despite having the "Top Ten Signs That You Have a Crush on Someone" and he/she is that "someone", he/she will respond to your feelings positively by showing his/her appreciation for what you have done, and is determined to put in effort towards a better friendship.

To my friends out there, especially my good friends, and those who feel I am your good friend, thanks! No matter you wear skirt or shorts, I appreciate it, just in a different way. =p Happy Friendship Day.

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...

Just In Time, For Bertrand's Big Day!

Twelve months ago, our baby boy came into this world. It was the beginning of our new journey. The delivery suite was cold. I held the camera tightly, waiting for the moment. The gynecologist came in and told me to put it away. "No time for this." My job was to urge my wife to push hard. "One and two and three..." And then, came his first cry. "Where's my camera? Where's my camera?" I scrambled for it. First was the cutting of umbilical cord, then the body check, the weighing scale, and Bertrand was in Mummy's arms for the first time. Before I knew, it had begun - my journey as a father and Bertrand's dedicated photographer. From the start, Bertrand is a natural when it comes to posing for the camera. He would look at the camera. The boy is cheerful. It was easy to capture him smiling. Not wanting to miss out any of it, I had the camera by my side, day and night. The first time he smiled, mumbled, laughed out loud, flipped over, crawle...
