Today is a great day, packed with loads of activities.

Morning- I told the monarch of the Utopian Invasion Kingdom (online game: Utopia) that I'll be leaving the kingdom for a moment because I really want to put in more time for my other stuffs. Time no enough you know. But I told him that i'll be back in Jan. "thats hell long time", was what he said. Haha. Oh this monarch is a real cool guy from Australia hee. Playing games with people from all around the world is really cool. I made a good friend from Estonia through this game as well. Kudos for the game well played hee.

Afternoon- Went to Ktv with a friend, W, from 2-6pm. 4hrs of non stop singing haha. Its damn fun. We can order Alcoholic drinks during this time slot. Haha, so I did. FIrst cup, Volka Sprite, second cup, Tequila Sprite. I came to the conclusion. Volka is for happy people, and tequila is for sad people. Why?? Because volka sprite will make you smile after you drink it, and tequila will just turn your face upsidedown after you take a bit. Even smelling the tequila will turn your face around. Hahah but I like tequila. Next time I gotta try other flavours. hmmmm Am I teaching bad things to my readers? (DIsclaimer: don't get yourself drunk. And, don't drink until you puke.... so wasteful - quoted from another friend W)

Oh ya, I find that my pronounciation of words got similar to Jay after my 1st cup haha. Kinda fun. The speakers in that room was damn small. What a lousy Bass sound. haha.

Evening- We went to Funan to hunt for things. Reason being, there will be a happening thing happening on Sat. Its the crazy Christmas offer again. You can buy things at crazy prices of $1 or $50 for items like PS2, Ipod, HP printers, if you spend $800 on that day. Redemption done at a counter somewhere. I don't know haha. But i'm going down on Sat. My friend wanted an Ipod, so I hope he can get it, because there are limited stock. I'm going to get my camera on that day. Decided Canon Powershot A95. Yeah!!!

One more offer for you guys. For those who want to watch Xin1 Niang2 Shi2 Ba1 Shui4 (korean show), you can buy it at 29.90 at Sembawang music in CineLeisure. Its the cheapest I've seen. Even lower than TS movies. haha

Slice of life

"Time is An Illusion

When we're feeling lousy or sad, we tend to forget that life does not go on forever. That every moment is an opportunity for love, knowledge, compassion, creation, and joy, and once gone, can never be retrieved. We are too fixated with the past and all its "could have"s and "should have"s, squander our precious present by feeling sorry for ourselves, and imagine a future that may not come to pass!

We've all been brought up to believe that time is quantity - 60 seconds make up one minute, 60 minutes make up an hour, 24 hours make up a day. But the meaning of time varies from person to person and from context to context.

Time is an illusion, a phantom, a delusion if you will. This moment is gone before I am finished saying "this moment". This 'moment' will virtually never exist! Time is not a thing, it has no substance...you can't touch it, you can't feel it, it cannot imprison you.

We should know not the quantity of our life, or our time spent on this earth - but we should value the quality of our life. Time by itself has no meaning - we have to give it meaning via our thoughts and actions.
There is so much happiness out there waiting for you. And there are plenty of people who can benefit from the joy you will bring them. You may now feel very lonely, and sad, and it may seem quite possible that you will never experience joy, love, spontaneity and fun again. Which is, of course, a most absurd thought. Don't worry, it's just the grief talking… the withdrawal, the initial disbelief and dejection.

It is never too late. Very often, when we lose something valuable to us, we think it's too late to salvage things, to express our love, to show our appreciation. What we fail to realise is that we have ample opportunities to do this with other people we love, and the ones we will come to love!

I urge you not to waste another moment of your life - you'll never get it back."
