We tend to overlook things, take for granted things just right in front of us, fail to appreciate the love given, neglect the most important thing as we slowly start to forget who brought us up...fed us, groomed us into what we are today.
I took for granted some things in life. It was just so easy to take things for granted until you sense that the danger is near....
Recently dad fell real ill....after the recent operation, he could only take liquid stuff and most of the time porridge....I tend to regret not bringing him to places too many to taste the large variety of food he would have liked....albeit he's the lazy type to go places just to eat good food. He can patronise the same coffeeshop everyday to eat the same thing he likes. But I recall bringing him to eat the Hainan Chicken Rice @ Purvis Street....He like it except for the waiting time as he lacks patience.
I took almost 2 to 3 weeks leave just to be with him by the bedside, accompany him through the pain barrier even though he is the one feeling the pain and not us...But deep in my heart, it hurts far more than I can ever imagine. I missed the period where he was supposed to go through another scope which he dread in spite I telling him I'll be with him through it....
I failed to make it but am not going to give any mention on how I was refused time off to be with him through the crucial period and can only say that there are indeed people who does not deserve a single bit of respect. But I'm not bothered, all I ask for is time to be with him. Everything in the world is termed 'urgent'...You can receive calls,sms, mails stating this or that is urgent....But in my pretext, nothing is more urgent than my dad.
Giving special attention to him would also meant taking care of my mum who is equally drained out physical and mentally through this period. I even took her for shopping @ IKEA just to take her focus off the incident. Wify was another person whom I had to pay attention to...she took leave to accompany mum to temple to pray, and then back to SGH to accompany my dad....no complaints at all....so when she hinted to watch HSM3, I told myself that I must keep myself awake and accompany her for the movie. No way will I say NO no matter how tired I am. Luckily I kept myself awake through the show though showing signs of fatigue along the way. As a matter a fact, I quite enjoyed the show and it did took my focus of the incident as well. My brothers were down with me @ SGH during this period too so the bonding got even closer.....
It may sound crude, but it is indeed after this incident that the bonding within the family got stronger. But isn't it sad that it has to be strengthened in this way? Dad was thrilled to see each and everyone of us and both he and my mum had nurtured us into what we are today...filial........It may run in the blood as well since my relatives from M'sia who came over for my Bro's wedding rendered help beyond anything you can imagine and let us recuperate during this crucial period.
I have not been sleeping well, eating well, thinking well, driving well, talking well for the past 2 weeks.......seriously slimmed down a little...couple of colleagues whom had not seen me in a quite a while said that....I would love to slim down to a healthier body but not this way.....
Things are improving on the front for the family but at the expense of my dad's health. This is a painful lesson that I've learnt and shall ensure that my children in the future inculcate this values as well.
Life is short, treasure your loved ones....

Our First Wedding Anniversary
Who would believe the very first wedding anniversary would be spent in such an unique manner...
Acc my dad for massage, pack up old stuffs @ our old house, quick swim @ our new house, dinner @ Kopitiam, celebrate with Beyond, SUPERBAND Finalists, MayDay, past year SUPERBAND Finalists @ Mediacorp...
Usually wedded couples would spent the wedding anniversary in a romantic way but for wify and I, we end up spending half of the day at our old house packing up stuffs to be brought over. That was before we send my dad to a nearby chinese physician for massage. We managed to have a quick swim @ the pool middle noon though before we dolled ourselves up for the visit to Mediacorp in support of my friend's band 'San Yue'....Wify wanted to try out 'Botak Jones', so we went over to the nearby outlet, she was sceptic of the quality of food taking into consideration the amount payable. However, the first bite she took proved her wrong. It was good.
After the meal, we rushed off to Mediacorp for the grand finale of the Superband. I told her to bring camera along...why?? Because BEYOND was one of the guest performer..I'm going skip the competition as I'm still feeling gutted that 'San Yue' didn't make it to the final 2! When a competition goes down to 100% voting, the results may not favour certain crowd. I made countless SMS votes though, but it proved fruitless as some bands somehow had fan-base so strong that thousands of votes were cast in compared to ours'.
So when Beyond came on stage, in fact even before Paul and Ah Wing came up and I'm screaming like I'm the same age as the fans of 'Tu Zi' standing on the left of me.....I feel young once again, chasing after idol days, hoping the idol would have some eye contact with me.....
Coincidentally my outfit yesterday was similar to Paul so when he had some eye contact with me, he kinda smiled alittle...I sang along with them for the 2 songs they played and when they went into the second song, I lifted up my hand showing the peace hand sign and waved along with the song.....Best part, people around me (All the Beyond fans lah) joined in and wave along.....That moment was cool!! I swear I've never dreamt to be so up close to them in my life and till now it still felt like a dream to me. Dream come true I should say...The feeling was so surrreal when they had eye contact with me when they are singing, talking or hearing the cheers from me...I WILL BE AT THE CONCERT. Although Ka Kueng will not be around but our support for music/ Rock 'n' Roll don't just stop here. Ka Kui would be glad to hear all Beyond fans give support and appreciate music not for the way it is but for the way it should be.
P.S.: Lucky that I was standing at the centre of the mosh-pit cause that was the spot allocated to 'San Yue' fans, so when Beyond took centre stage, I 'squeezed' my way to the front row and was speechless as Wify, Xiao Xin and me stand just 2 arms away from our idol.
See that, Ah wing was looking at my direction as Ah Paul waved the peace handsign which I was waving throughout their performance...and even until their performance had ended...My bro saw me on TV and pondered how I managed to get this 'First Class' standing position for that...lol...

One other point to note from the day was also the performance by Mayday.....I thought no one would notice it but both Xiao Xin and her sis also shared the same sentiments as wify that Stone looked like me...Worst still, the way he places his hands while waiting for the results to be announced...I'll post those photos on Facebook for all to view la...though not much cause my priority remains Beyond only...keeee
Till 8 Nov 2008.....See all Beyond Fans @ Indoor Stadium...I will be there, hope to see you there too...
Let's carry on the Rock 'N' Roll Dream~!!!

Filial
Most people find it hard to pronounce the word 'Filial'....Some people find it hard to be filial......The pronunciation key for the word is 'Fil-ee-uhl'......
I personally find it hard to define the word...or should I say categorise people under this word. Wify is one who brings the word to good name. Last night she was suggesting to catch a movie as its' been sometime since we last step into the theatre. However, when we reached home and notice my dad's health ain't that good.....She immediately called off the idea of the movie but instead we went NTUC to buy some stuffs for him instead.
No mention on the rest of the family members though but the understanding of wify on this matter touches me very much. Would most daughter-in-laws had done the same thing if they were in her shoes? Would those people had preferred to carry on lives within their own world, being chauffeured around in spite the other half's poor health condition, at the expense of the other half's career just to be by her side??
I hope not...I really hope not.....Anyway, have been rather disturbed by dad's health and yet have to put a strong front to everyone thus the going is tough on me...I get agitated at the very minor instance and its' like I'm worst than Hulk, practically any minor hiccup can get me turned green!! Thankfully wify being understanding, didn't flare up but instead comfort me to stay strong. I'll be fine....I'll be stronger mentally, physically so as to better myself for the future. Not just personal, my worklife is giving me some hell as I go through the ordeal which I went through last year again. I hate it when I have to go through this, in particular this time round things are really different. Scenario stays the same but the people taking on the roles had some minor changes, that makes it much more difficult than ever before. All these things are making me less vocal these days and kinda makes me have those short term memory thingy...I'll easily forget some important or non-important things said to me within the last 2 hour or so...Hopefully all things shall make a turn and I'll turn over the tide and enjoy the success and joy Liverpool is going through now....I'll carry on the spirit shared by the famous rock band, Beyond which is never to give up!
Talking about that, 2 of the members are in town this weekend to promote their concert on 8 Nov 08 and they'll be guests at the Superband final tomorrow which OF COURSE I'll be attending. Seeing them is secondary for tomorrow as I'll definitely be going to the concert, the primary role for me is to support 'San Yue'....I have no doubts they will emerge winner, I'm just being there tomorrow to witness it... Jia You~!
Love & Peace

Houseman....After turning *9 on 25 Sep 08.....
Birthday Celebrate
Turned *9 years old on 25 Sep....Enjoyed my Birthday in an unqiue way to say. First, went for a dinner in a cosy environment with wify..The food was nice but unfortunately, the lady boss seems to be more 'polite' to those ang moh guests that comes in after us...Nonetheless, the place is very relaxing for people like me and I thought my godfather would like the music played there.
After the dinner, we went for a short walk along a familiar yet forgotten place for me...Orchard
Road..this place made me look very 'young'.....
Next up, we went over to L Cube located @ Tanjong Pagar to meet up with a band whom I got to know via SOFT...They were looking for people to play Beyond's songs and of course I'm interested to have a go at it. I don't really know what got into me and I end up at the wrong jamming studio....near Central...and got told off by wify as she recalled L Cube was not along that stretch...She was right...I was utterly wrong....Haa......Finally we reached the studio, went in and I tried to blend into their play without getting my vocals warmed up..first up, 教坏细路.....Not the most often played song during my time but I do practise it during the ITE days where I let my fingers fly on the Bass Guitar. Then they played an oldie which I'm not quite familiar with the lyrics...haa...for once, their song I'm not familiar with the lyrics...永远等待 was the track...In fact I only started to like this one after Beyond did a re-mix that made it sound much more heavier...had difficulty reading the lyrics they printed out cause it is all lumped together.....
Final song before we end the session was another favorite track of mine....灰色軌跡.... I loved this as one of the best song from their 91 Concert where Ka Kui played the acoustic solo on his guitar...I managed to sing this 3 songs as they started the session earlier and I could not jeopardise my dinner with wify.....Of course wify was ever understanding to allow me to go for the session after the dinner....keee....Next Thur is the following session and I shall be doing my homework before going for the session this time round. It does feel odd that I'm merely holding on to the mike and nothing else....especially without holding my favorite guitar to sing Beyond's songs seems a little odd and uncomfortable for me. Will try to get use to it and try to blend into this band...
Somehow, this year I spent my birthday feeling much more relax...without much things to worry upon. Probably like what wify said, this year I do not need to worry about the band performance for our wedding..Haa...
Finally, would like to thank all whom send their wishes to me for my Birthday and apologies to those I might have forgotten to reply to.
Oh oh....forgot to mention on the part of the first word mention in title...Houseman.....
Went wet market with my mum earlier and was picking the shops to buy fresh meat, vege, etc... And I'm excited that this wet market at Admiralty MRT has much more choices for us to choose from...Haa...Houseman?! I'm not going to transform into that so soon....I Hope....
Love 'N' Peace..

I'm blogging from my new home!!!!!
A Brand New Home, A Brand New Experience
Have finally shifted over to the new house. And finally I got the Internet access up and running from our home so I can finally blog from home while viewing the big pool in front of me, or should I say beneath me. It took me quite a while to get things up and running, getting used to driving to work from north to west. It's a brand new responsibility for me now that I'm running a house of my own and of course with the support from wify. But its the added responsibility that spurns me on to think and plan things in a new direction and manner. Although my parents are still living with me which is one of the greatest treasure, I have take into consideration them leaving their comfort zone in the west to a new place where they are total strangers to. Things didn't help with dad being ill for the past months and that cue me to take that additional days of leave to be home to accompany him. Sometimes, what elderly need is just a person to have breakfast with 'em...chat a little, watch a bit of weekend soccer and they'll feel very much satisfied.
Taking part in the recently concluded in-camp did enriched me with massive knowledge which not only applies to my daily work but in fact can be applied to any part of my life. At the end of the camp, they have the feedback where everyone gets to give a fair share of comments on each member of the group and I thought it would be nice to share what the rest says of me here. Though part of it maybe 'beautified'....Most were saying that I should be more decisive and not to be too nice...Probably it's my character, I tend to be more concerned about what people might think then to be confident in myself that whatever decision I make will be accpeted by my peers. Think too much, maybe...Change my style of working, quite hard but I'll try. Being Mr. Nice @ work is something I had wanted to change, not to be Mr. Nasty though but have to be a little firm and reject 'helping' everyone but myself.. Shall work on that.
Music
Music continues to be part of my life and I'm trying hard not to stop playing guitar, be it acoustic guitar, electric guitar or bass. There's a couple of plans along the pipeline to carry on where I stopped and I'm going to work hard towards that. On a seperate note, if you happen to see me on national TV, Channel U...It's because I'm supporting my pal's band 'San Yue' as they went into the Semi-finals of the SUPERBAND Competition. Let's support them together.

Don't waste $$
In case you all think that the title is in relation to Jack Neo's new movie....NO!!! It is in fact my stand on my new house....On the day I received the keys..errr...actually weeks before I get hold of the house keys, I paid up front the maintenance fees for a whopping 6 month period....yet I'm not even physically there to utilise the facilities....
In this case itself, I decided not to waste the money and tried my best to visit the gym there every alternate day (whenever possible)....Trying to slim down and keep fit for the upcoming GLP Camp which I have no idea how well-received I will be by the helpers whom are adamant to 'torture' me.....Mr Sim, the lead helper is so enthuse about the camp that I guess he'll be planning loads of obstacles for me to tackle....Great, the sight of me being tortured gives him maximum satisfaction....#%$%$^#^%^#$%%
Doing quite a handful of night shifts this days also ensured that I save a little bit of money since I'll wake up late in the morning for the day and take a brunch before packing my stuffs or plan my new house stuffs before taking an afternoon nap before dinner. That'll ensure I skip lunch and wake up feeling energetic for the night. Apparently I've been blogging on my night shifts lately...Of course I'm taking out my acoustic guitar from the storeroom for some practise again..Time to brush up my skills if I were to even consider playing music again. Don't really have much to blog about worklife at this moment as I'm solely focused on getting things right for my new house ahead of anything else. I understand now the crunch period is round the corner where any wrong move will kill off the employee and I would definitely want to avoid that. Nonetheless, my last year's contribution did not equal to the end result anyway...hee.....Not going to feel sour towards last year's unsatisfactory result but instead look ahead and carry on working as hard as possible and hope I'm reaching the end of the tunnel where there's some light..
Amidst all the stress from work, house, band, I'm still able to take some time off to go support Marku @ Mediacorp for SUPERBAND. Tickets are obtained through Kokoro of course and although I'm not so hype up like the rest of the fans but I truly support them all the way. you know, when the young ones are like jumping up and down with the boards and blowing their lungs out on the whistle.....I'll just try to act cool. The just passed Monday witnessed them almost ousted out of the competition as they were the among the last two to be left on the chopping board and I know the other band has a very very strong fan base. A relief that they made it through and I hope that I can continue to grace the event @ Mediacorp probably until the final.

Stubborn
Stubbornness
Had some disagreement with Dad over sale of flat. Not gona elaborate much on it but the bottomline is he did not adhere to the initial mutual agreement reached with the current agent which with the upcoming evaluation report could fetch us more rewards. He was adamant to sell it at a lower price to a national which I'm not comfy with and plus a verbal agreement that the comission to the agent will be given by the buyer. I don't like that at all but regardless, the deal is being firmed up and persuading my dad won't help since he claim that no one is home to assist him when potential buyers are touring our house. CASE CLOSED. Not going to comment further on this issue else our relationship might be affected.
Fatique
The many running here and there to settle house stuff is seriously taking a big toll on me. Plus my additional duties on night shift, it is quite taxing on me. I'm vexed enough over the house stuff thus I'm seriously taking a hands off approach over the sale of the current house since Dad is that stubborn. Not in a good mood to blog further, shall close now.

CASE CLOSED. Not going to comment further on this issue else our relationship might be affected.
Fatique
The many running here and there to settle house stuff is seriously taking a big toll on me. Plus my additional duties on night shift, it is quite taxing on me. I'm vexed enough over the house stuff thus I'm seriously taking a hands off approach over the sale of the current house since Dad is that stubborn. Not in a good mood to blog further, shall close now.
JIRO.... :-(
