Feeling Sianzzz Again..

This coming June holidays is a bit boring for me as I cannot go on a tour, for 2 obvious reasons. The first is that my fiance is going to have an almost full schedule for the 1st 2 weeks of the holidays. Week 3 is our wedding photo shoot, right in the middle of the week. Week 4 is restricted to back to school preparation.. That means no holidays for me.. Sob..

I actually wanted a short one to Tokyo but given the silly H1N1 virus on the loose, I can't go there either.. Hai..

The second reason is the age old financial reason.. Given the marriage in november, naturally finance is much tighter than normal. Getting married is never a cheap affair.. Here goes the big ticket items in the midst of payment/paid/going to pay.

1) Wedding Package ($5888)
2) Wedding Band + Proposal Ring ($3116)
3) Wedding Dinner, 18 tables ($18000)
4) Things needed for tradition ($???)[Don't know the cost yet]
5) Red packets for all needed ($???) [No clue how much this will be]
6) Honeymoon (~$6000)[Rough estimate at the moment]

This is what I can think of at the moment.. There are actually other stuff like the downpayment of our house and the renovation cost of house which I have to look into. I will add the list as and when I think of payment..

Time to sleep off my sianzzz-nes..

Recommended Song

Was searching this song as I liked the tune.. But when I found the song and saw the full lyrics, I was very touched by the lyrics.. Below is the MV of the song.. 如果我变成回忆.. Enjoy..

Exams Over = Trouble?

Exams are going to be over soon.. That means, till the next exam, this is going to be a quiet place AGAIN! Zzz... This is a major headache for me as I still need to pay rent regardless of whether got pple or not.. I need to do up a bit of things to make sure pple do appear here..

I'll most probably be doing a seminar on 'Bridging the Secondary School gap' for parents whose children are now in Primary 6. I hope that this would bring me some revenue for the centre and hopefully some crowd..

Contract Sealed

I just remembered that I did not update on the status of the renting of the place by the enrichment centre. I have accepted their offer and they will come in to use from 1st August. I think this is a good start of stable income on my end and I hope that more people can sign up to study at the centre..

I will have to sleep soon as I have a seminar to attend at 10am @ the rock, Suntec City. I'll be doing some update later in the day when I have the time..

Laptop Down!

My beloved laptop is sick and hospitalized.. Still @ Fujitsu repair centre, after 4 working days (7th May till now..). I called in to check out the status and guess what? My laptop's mainboard (motherboard) is dead AGAIN! This is the 3rd time that it has happened. This time, not only the mainboard is dead, one piece of the RAM is also dead.. But, they do not have stock for the RAM, so I'll have to collect back my laptop without 1 RAM then go back again when the stock is back.. How exciting computer repairs can be.. Make you run here and there like you have got nothing else to do.. Zzz...

To My Dear Wife-to-be

Gal, I think after blogging for some months, I should confess this: This blog was created there and then in response to you having a blog and 'complaining' online and there was no way I can air my side of the story. However, there and then, I'm not sure if the resentment of blog was the crux, or the fact that I know too well that I am not too intelligent with websites being my mental block; I just could not get things up properly.

After finally getting things up, I decided that laziness & slackness should be my masters and I shall be the slave of them.. Ha ha ha... That's how the blog became stagnant for 2 years after creation (Oct 2006 - Oct 2008). There were actually 3 posts in between this time but I deleted it when I resurrected this blog at Oct 08 cos I felt they were most vicious than what I felt there and then.

Anyway, while laziness & slackness is still my master, somehow, blogging has become fun.. (I guess it has to do with aging.. =X and maybe also the fact that I know you read it!). While some old habits die hard (excuses, I know.. ), it is the concern in your voice just now when you called me to see if I am home that prompted this response and post. I shall use this post today to dedicate this song for you which should be playing while you are reading this. It is 曹格's 世界唯一的你. The song has wonderful lyrics.. Hope you listen to the song with the lyrics (I know you need the lyrics in front of you for you to catch what 曹格 is singing, so below are the lyrics). The lyrics have all that I want to say.. Time to Zzz..

世界唯一的你 - 曹格

是你 一眼我就认出来
这是命运最美丽的安排
是爱 让你掠过漫长等待
我们只要现在深爱 幸福就来

恨我来不及参于你的过去
抱歉让你等待
我愿意付出一切交换
我灵魂的另一半

这个世界唯一的你 是我拥有的奇迹
对我说的一字一句 都是我们的秘密
紧紧拥抱唯一的你 无可救药的坚定
就算世界与我为敌 我也愿意
我什么都愿意

看开 过去所有的悲哀
都只是训练我为你 勇敢
真爱 照亮了漆黑的夜晚
寻找了彼此一辈子 再不分开

恨我来不及参于你的过去
抱歉让你等待
我愿意付出一切交换
我灵魂的另一半

(I would climb the highest mountains)
(I would swim the deepest seas the deepest seas)

对我说的一字一句 都是我们的秘密
紧紧拥抱唯一的你 无可救药的坚定
就算世界与我为敌 我也愿意
我什么都愿意

我愿意付出一切交换
我灵魂的另一半

(I would climb the highest mountains)
(I would swim the deepest seas)

(就算让我上天下地)

就算上天下地 我什么都愿意为你
紧紧拥抱唯一的你 无可救药的坚定
就算世界与我为敌 我也愿意
我什么都愿意

Decision Time?

Don't know why but can't really sleep.. So decided to do some updates.. Someone from an enrichment company visited me on saturday, asking to rent out part of my space to them.. They are looking at 8 seats of my table for the moment and then add on as time comes. The rental that they have in mind and what I have in mind has quite a bit of difference.. If I take the offer, I'll have to do some minor alterations to the place AGAIN.. I'll need to add partitions to the area.. This is going to be another cost but then they are looking at renting it for 2 yrs basis, and the fact that this enrichment is for primary school children does give me an advantage in my crowd flow.. Hai.. Headache.. Let me think of it over sleep.. I'll need to reply them my final offer on tuesday..
