Take a chance on romance. In fact, double-dog dare yourself to be bold and silly. The more you're willing to fall on your face, the greater the possible outcomes. This new attitude can help you fulfill your passionate dreams.

You'll have to make some tough decisions today -- there won't be enough time to do everything that you want to do, so you'll have to prioritize. You may have to put aside tentative social plans -- you just don't have time to be the host with the most. Instead, you need to focus on some serious stuff that has to be done. You may have to make a few apologetic phone calls to friends -- but taking care of some important non-social obligations is the smart thing to do today.

Romance is revved up, so hop into the driver's seat and steer it the way you want it to go! Say hello to a cutie or two (or four or five!), online and real time. You're pretty much irresistible now.

May 21, 2007

Branch out. Take a language class. Try some exotic delicacies. Attend art galleries, poetry readings and cultural festivals. If you make an effort to enjoy and indulge in the new and the sublime, it will indulge you.

If you've decided to get serious about making healthier lifestyle choices, good for you! But as excited as you may be about this empowering change, try not to project your goals onto other people. No one enjoys having his or her meals scrutinized or hearing his or her lifestyle critiqued. Let the people in your life make their own choices, even if you don't agree with them.

Time to get back into balance, physically speaking (which can only help the whole mind/body beauty thing). Stay hydrated, eat healthy and renew your commitment to your daily walk or session with the punching bag.

05/21/2007 - 05/27/2007

You might be sympathetic to what you're hearing at the beginning of the week, but think carefully about how involved you want to get. Sometimes being a listening ear is plenty. Between Wednesday and Friday, you're extra good at assessing a person or situation in an objective manner. Uncover what's really going on, then don't hesitate to take action. And while you may look like you're relaxing this weekend, you're definitely turning something over in your heart and mind. It may take a little time, but it'll lead to a positive step.

Someone may be trying to suck you into their weird world on Monday or Tuesday, but the truth is your world is interesting enough as it is. And it becomes even more interesting -- especially your love life -- on Wednesday and Thursday. Your special someone needs something from you, and rather than quizzing them about why and when and how, you just do it. You can ask them all about it later. This is a brilliant move on your part. It demonstrates trust. Friday, Saturday and Sunday your moves are a little less brilliant. Brace yourself for a silly disagreement over something. Money, possibly.

1 MORE MONTH!!! MARKSMAN!!! MOTHER'S DAY!!!

9th june!!! one more month till commissioning!!! YAHOO!!! hahaha yeah and now im $200 BUCKS RICHER!!! hahaha yeah so this week hasn't been a good week for me physically and emotionally... so my knee has been giving me some probs recently... dunno why... and emotionally i've been kinda in a wreck and been thinking alot so much so that i start to feel my bunk mates having a change of attitude towards me... or isit im still thinking too much... i dunno... and i havent been sleeping well these few days too... might be cos of the hot weather n stuff... or just too much things on my mind as usual... but our bunk has some kinda jinx... another one just broke up with his gf... haiz... what is happening... yeah also been cracking my head of who to ask to the dinner since yy n sq all said they dun wanna go... so my mom is hooking me up with her friend's daughter... hahaha dunno sia... but i guess i'll try then! ahahaha

May 12, 2007
Change and growth are the name of the game. If you fight the turn of the tide, you'll get increasingly uncomfortable reminders from the universe about what path you need to be on. Make things easy for yourself.

t can take a long time for your brain to absorb new ideas right now -- you're a bit preoccupied with your personal life. Make sure that in a work or school setting, you're giving yourself enough time to really understand what you're reading, compiling or researching. Showing your work to a fresh pair of eyes is a very wise idea. Another person may catch mistakes that you're blind to, and give you good ideas on how to tighten up loose ends. Accept criticism and listen to others' opinions.

Laundry, schmaundry -- don't waste the super stuff the stars are sending your way on routine. Errands will wait; the fun you could be having doing new things and impressing new people won't.

May 13, 2007
You may need to have some matters clarified before you feel safe enough to proceed. Try not to rush into anything before you have all the necessary information, no matter what other people say. Go at your own pace.

The next step you should take in a work or school project might not be the one you've been thinking of taking. There are ambiguous signs leading you in different directions, and it would be in your best interest to find out what they mean. Put your progress on hold just for today, and learn a little bit more about your options -- and be sure to get your information from fresh sources. If you always go to the same people for advice, they're only going to tell you what you already know.

Somebody may not be saying exactly what they mean. Will you demand that they cut the bull, or will you cut them some slack? Telling it like it is from your perspective might prompt some honest dialogue.

May 14, 2007
Who -- you? The easygoing, dreamiest sign of the zodiac demanding that people be accountable for their actions -- including yourself? Go on with your bad self. You've got what it takes to make everybody toe the line.

Beautiful words can have ugly meanings -- so you need to focus more on the substance than the style today. Watch out for people who are candy-coating their criticism and trying hard to hide what they really mean. Some insincere people are telling you only part of the truth right now. And if you accept what they say, you may not learn the full truth until it's too late. Avoid buying into anyone's nutty ideas today.

Unless you've got all day to puzzle through some rather hazy meanings, you might want to hold off on romance-related agenda items. By this evening, the lines of communication will begin to clear most beautifully.

05/14/2007 - 05/20/2007

In a haze on Monday? Could it be love? If not, just you wait -- Tuesday and Wednesday turn up the heat on romantic matters, and your way with words (not to mention the nonverbal stuff) is remarkable. Let your imagination wander now. It's your prerogative to change your mind, and you just might be doing so with frequency at the end of the workweek. Perhaps notifying someone of your latest take on things is premature -- the shift may be fleeting. This weekend, you're on firmer ground, and you're both inspired and inspiring.

Making dinner for you-know-who on Monday or Tuesday would not only be fun, it'd be much appreciated. You could do the classic thing: wine, candles, piano music in the background. Or you could do something a little more original, like making tacos and eating them on the back porch while listening to heavy metal and watching the sunset. Really, whatever works. The back porch continues to be a good setting on Wednesday and Thursday, but Friday through Sunday -- the most romantic days this week -- you're sick of staying home. A concert? A drive with the radio on and the windows down?

The Knight of Swords card suggests that radical change is in the wind, and the resulting storm may be unavoidable. Take the direct approach and channel the influence of this Knight for gaining the advantage. When confronting obstacles or turbulence within your relationship, be on your guard and have a back-up plan or an exit strategy, particularly if you are facing competition or an imminent divorce or separation. Rely on reason and authority. Don't surrender to emotional tirades or hasty decisions that you could come to regret. Try to avoid a tendency to be overly assertive. It may intimidate a current partner or it might scare away any prospective love connections. Learn to make room for human frailty and forgiveness, for this situation may not be anything personal. To debase your relationship with insults can end up coming back to hurt you.

The Death card suggests that my alter ego today is the Mover and Shaker, whose superpower for transformation relies on my bargaining ability to make a change. Even though tomorrow is another day, the time for change is now. Know that you can handle it and that you will not be alone in making it happen. Things may not seem to be going your way, but know it may be for the best. 'When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.' It may be time to find a new direction for the better of all, especially you. You've seen the writing on the wall and something's got to give, but it's not too late. You're well-equipped to overcome your fears and step out of your comfort-zone. Make your best efforts to direct the outcome as you wish by acting proactively now, rather than having to react later when it's out of your hands.

The King of Wands card suggests that my power today lies in personal power. I inspire transformation, respect and support by discrete but charismatic example and tolerance. I am an instrument for dynamic, responsible, or passionate expansion that serves or protects the greater good of my legacy. I am a master of the universe and I am empowered with a reputation of experience, credibility and momentum and I transform through integrity.

The Two of Pentacles card reversed suggests that it might be tempting to give up in the face of conflict or romantic stagnation, especially if it seems like you're facing a 'catch-22' or a 'lesser of two evils' decision. When it comes to your partner, you may not be on the same wavelength regarding this matter. There is a chance that one of you may be overcompensating for what may be perceived as a deficiency in material or financial considerations or in satisfying a hunger for physical indulgences or intimacy. Don't think you have to try to keep up with others to keep from looking foolish, or that if you keep smiling and going along, it will work out. While it may be a hassle or a struggle, making an effort to dance the fine line between practical realities and sensual pleasures can put you in position to resolve this issue.

SPIDERMAN 3

YEAH! another week pass on by... time really does fly... must enjoy my youth while i still can sia... haha sounding like an old man le... :S hahaha yeah so fri bookout as usual... hehe but when we're back in SAFTI, it'll be sat bookout... sob sob :( hahaha didn't go out with my bunk mates to watch spiderman thou... watching it with nel n gang on sun... haha so stayed home n rest... so sc called and had a long chat and sorted out some stuff about the dinner thingy i mentioned... yeah so i came to a decision that cos its a formal thingy which sc doesnt really fancy and even if she manages to take leave which is like only a mere 3 hrs a month which is used for her workshops and stuff and that she actually forces herself into a dress and high heels, she wouldnt enjoy the night at all... and it being my special night, i want to fully enjoy myself but not at the expense of my date so its better for me to be unhappy than my date to be unhappy cos she's trying to please me or something right? yeah spent the week trying to convince her to go was really taking a toll on me sia... haha so my horoscope was quite spot on huh... goes something like this: One-on-one relationships or meetings could be tricky on Monday. Look for reasonable compromises and better ways. From Tuesday through most of Thursday, though, recognize when others are being unreasonable and set some limits. Being passive isn't going to cut it now -- get a consult from a friend or mentor if you're uncertain about what to do. Making the right choices is easy around Friday and Saturday, and you look great while doing it. No need to toot your own horn; you'll get applause. On Sunday, a talk with a friend far away is fun and fruitful.

Understanding the situation is everything, especially if a certain person takes offense at something you said. Wait for them to calm down. Then, explain your original intent. That should be enough to clear up the matter.

sat went to town and bought a SK diamond pendent and a chain for my mom... spent $99 on it... but its worth it cos of all the things she done for me ever since i went to army and especially in ocs... yeah must be filial too if not will kena lightning strike! hahaha :X then met up with wilfred and pat and played some pool at cine while watching man u vs man city... wa damn heng sia... saved a penalty... but being a man u fan, it was quite sad to wake up 1st thing in the morning to read a msg saying man u lost 3-0 to ac... i thought they could do the treble again sia... sad... oh wells brushed up on my pool skills while checking out the gals there sia... hahaha eye candy!!! hahaha then went to alleybar and boo came along. had some drinks then chatted abt random stuff... wa sad sia wilfred just got OOC with his gf... almost coming to 2 yrs le... and just last week when i was out with sc i saw them at cine lor! bumped into them 3 times somemore lea... man things change just like that huh... so we went to sing k at dynasty central i think... got hostesses somemore one... nice place and cheaper than kbox somemore! even got 3 tv with SOCCER! watched the everton vs pompy match while singing sia... hahaha so sang all the breakup sappy love songs... then went home via cab... somehow nomatter how late i stay out, my cab fare rarely exceeds $10... but still i seriously need to get a driving licence sia... then i can seriously reel in the chicks! hahaha just comparing this guy we were observing at the alleybar trying to hit on this girl for over an hour then they finally exchanged nos... could have done better if he had read the book called the game... go google the book and find out for yourself what kind of book it is... hahaha

May 06, 2007

Nothing gets by you right now. In fact, you may almost be too alert and aware of what's going on. Narrow your focus, or you could dissipate all this great energy without having a direct effect. Be choosy, and concentrate.

Your most helpful coworkers are in an exceptionally helpful mood lately, so don't be surprised if you're overwhelmed by their offers to help. You don't have to accept these offers if you don't want to, so don't feel pressure to keep your colleagues busy. In your personal life, you'll be the one feeling the need to help people out -- a friend might need help on a particularly busy day that's coming up. Give this pal a call and offer to lend a hand.

Sure, you've got your usual gauzy-dreamy romantic side, but right now it's very likely to be accompanied by an analytical-detached practicality. Put it all together and some serious progress can be made.

May 07, 2007

You thought this person was just strange, but now you're starting to see how much he or she adds to your life. Your chemistry at first wasn't sizzling, but now you two are really starting to click. Go with the flow.

Matching the right person to the right job is easy for you today -- you have a skill for seeing certain personality traits and knowing exactly how to make the best use of them. That talkative person would make the perfect host or representative, while that shy, creative type would be perfect for behind-the-scenes activities. You understand that there's a perfect place for everyone, just like there's a mate for every sock.

You may have a mentor at work, but what about one in the realm of romance? Consider whose relationships you truly admire and whose values dovetail with your own. Then get a consultation!

05/07/2007 - 05/13/2007

Do a little planning as the week begins -- for work, your social life, your personal projects. You'll be that much more impressive as the days progress. Around Wednesday, an interesting vision may come your way. Surrounding yourself with what inspires you helps cue it, as does getting grounded and opening your heart and mind. Then, you're downright inspiring on Friday and Saturday. Affection with friends, hot stuff with a certain someone and fun all over the place is favored -- not to mention transformation. Sunday finds you dreaming all day.

It's not a romantic week for you, although chances are good that you'll be thinking about love a lot. Monday is about allies -- maybe someone you know works somewhere or can get you something (an introduction to someone else, some good advice). Tuesday and Wednesday your personal interests are replaced entirely by an interest in helping a friend who's struggling. Or moving. Thursday and Friday, give your humanitarian efforts a rest and pick up a book you've been meaning to get to, or throw a Frisbee with someone. This weekend, you're immersed in something.

May

As the month begins, the 1st and 2nd, you're really getting down to the nitty-gritty of whatever business you're in. If you're a carpenter, you're hammering nails. If you're a writer, you're editing texts. If you're deep-sea scuba diver, you're scrubbing barnacles off oxygen tanks. This kind of work can be both draining and rewarding -- but one thing is for sure, and that is that it's necessary. By the 6th and 7th, you're doing a great job managing a couple of complicated projects. Sure, it's not all smooth sailing, but the rewards are great. The 11th is a really spectacular day -- take advantage of all your good energy and all your good looks to make a good deal of some kind. By the 13th, you're way too busy to be flirting (unless a certain somebody is just so cute that you just can't help it). You continue to be busy with your work up until the 16th, when you can afford to take a rest. Don't forget to maintain your exercise routine, especially the 17th and 18th, when things are hectic and you need to stay physically grounded. The 22nd, you're feeling really creative. So sit down and put paintbrush to paper, or whatever it is that you do when you want to express yourself. The 27th, you're in the spotlight, and you really enjoy the attention. The 31st, you wrap up the month at a major turning point. You could realize something very important about yourself.

As the month begins on the 1st and 2nd, you are at a major turning point romantically. Are you really getting to know yourself so that you can own your own insecurities and not project them onto another person? Are you gaining a better understanding of what you need and what you can't stand in a relationship with somebody else? Are you just plain more comfortable? That sounds great. Keep working on it all month long. By the 6th and 7th, you've got a much clearer vision of what's happening, and this allows you to deal with problems much more effectively. The 11th, you have a really fantastic, absolutely romantic day. Enjoy it -- after all, you've done a lot of hard emotional work to get here. By the 15th, you're going to have the opportunity to accept the things for what they are rather than continue to imagine that they're the way you'd like them to be. Even if this is a little difficult, it's good for you. The 20th, if you want it -- or them -- go for it. By the 26th and 27th, it's time for you to really go for your desires. The 31st, you're at another turning point. Which way do you turn, sweet pea?

April 21, 2007

Practice makes perfect, but there's absolutely no fun in perfection. Discovery, exploration and making mistakes -- that's where all the joy in life comes from. Give yourself room to trip, stumble and fall right now.

Your creativity is in full bloom right now, so take advantage of it by adding sophistication to your wardrobe, your home decor or an upcoming social event. Put your special stamp on everything, with no apologies. Let your imagination drive every one of your daily activities today, and indulge any whims that you may have. This type of spontaneity will help you stay positive and have a lot more fun with some people you see frequently.

Sleep in or lounge around if at all possible this morning -- not that you'll need any extra beauty rest with the stuff the stars are sending later in the day. You're hot and everybody knows it, especially tonight!

You've come to think of those sitcom characters as your friends, which is how you can tell you watch way too much TV -- your obsession is also a pretty good barometer for how pathetic your life has gotten.

April 22, 2007

Challenges with others are almost always a reflection of a deeper internal issue. Examine what's been going on in your relationships and figure out how they correlate to the undiscovered parts of your psyche.

Try to immerse yourself in music today, as it will enliven the humdrum everyday world that surrounds you. If possible, put on your headphones if you must be among large, anonymous crowds of people today. You need your imagination to be stimulated, and good music will help. Specifically, you should choose music that affects your emotions, and songs that feature lyrics about love and affection. Pay attention to the way they make you feel.
You're getting some extra appreciation at the moment and it's for very good reason -- you're extra charming, extra entertaining and all around extra great. Get out and about and enjoy your sweet self!

The best way to fix a bruised relationship is to stick it out. Sure you could leave, but when it's all said and done, you'll just end up with an unknown set of problems -- at least you know what you're dealing with now.

The Fool card affirms that my alter ego today is a Quantam Leaper with a hero's heart. My superpower is liberated by free will and trust, which lead me to explore simple speculations for their own sake. I can move beyond the fear factor. I don't know where I'm going, and I don't care where I've been. I only know that, as the hero of my own story, it's for me to find out. For, like Alice, I'm on the verge of stepping into a rabbit hole; unless I stop short and play it safe, I'll know soon enough where following my own feet has landed me on this curious venture. The blissful frailty of unwritten conclusions and unguarded access sweetens the desire. So despite familiar warnings, irresistible promise draws my eyes wide open and away from domestic comfort zones, with only certain inquiry, hope and faith to recommend my course. I'll never know until I try.

The Five of Chalices card reversed suggests that there is a chance that you're not being honest with yourself. It's time you dealt with unresolved issues, deep fears or unfinished business, which, like a silent undercurrent or an unbridged gap in your heart, could be affecting intimacy in your relationship or love life. Staying busy, turning to familiar comforts or resorting to compulsive behavior could be covering up denial, suffering, stagnation or heartache. Genuinely come to terms with the truth by confronting or forgiving your own role in whatever it is you regret so that you can let go, move on and become more open to romance. There is a safe harbor of support and security available to you, but you might need to seek it out. Recovery and healing are inner work and can begin only after there has been acknowledgement of the hurts that have occurred.

April 23, 2007

There's nothing more irritating than a missed opportunity, but never fear. Just because you had other things on your mind doesn't mean you've lost out on the main chance. This situation will come around again.

Does it seem as though someone in your life is running hot one minute and cold the next? One day you're this person's new best friend -- and then the next day he or she isn't quite sure what your name is! It's no wonder you're feeling confused. You may need to remove yourself from this bizarre situation. Let go of the desire to figure this person out -- the solution to this puzzle will likely be rather disappointing (or at least anticlimactic).

Getting something romantic started is definitely favored by the stars through most of the day, so get an online flirtation under way or just make somebody's real-time day. By tonight, your energy's more low-key.

Today your mood ring turns black the second you slip it on your finger. The trend will continue when your presence brings a dark-as-coal foreboding into every room you enter today. Stay home

04/23/2007 - 04/29/2007

Monday looks busy, so make a plan and stick to it -- and include sensible eating and exercising for energy. Around Tuesday and Wednesday, know the difference between looking thoughtfully at a situation and overanalyzing it (the latter can lead to not-very-helpful paralysis). From Thursday through sometime Saturday, life can improve by leaps and bounds -- just balance intellect and instinct, and choose your path. As far as the rest of the weekend, plan some low-key, relaxing activities with some low-key, relaxed people.

You have a new fitness plan, and it already seems to be doing wonders for you -- you feel good, you look great -- but others might not necessarily want to hear all about it. Monday though Wednesday, watch for people's eyes glossing over while you're talking to them, and take the hint. Thursday and Friday hold the most possibility of romance this week. Relationships are a major theme. If you and you-know-who are trying to weigh your next step, don't get mired down in facts. Go with how you feel. The weekend is about starting fresh.

BACK FROM TAIWAN!!!

(warning really really long post n sorry for the long delay... too many pictures to post up... hehe)

WASSUP PEEPS! 3 weeks has passed and finally im back in sg! yay! hahaha 3 weeks is long but while i was away it didnt feel like 3 weeks has passed. yep so i cant really blog what we did in taiwan but i think i can blog about the r&r. so yeah we went during a cold front so it was like freezing cold when we were outfield... brrrr i still recall sleeping on the roadside worse than a beggar sia... amazing my feets didnt have blisters or anything during my 72... thanks to lots of preventative mesures like taping my toes, wearing toe socks, wearing another layer of green socks, anti-abrasion cream and magically counter-pain when the load got too heavy and my whole body starts to ache. well it was definaterly a walk to remember especially the 2nd last part. "just keep walking, just keep walking" *sing to the dory tune of finding nemo* hahaha yeah n there was this one part where we started halucinating. i personally thought it was the end but it was in fact another group sleeping at the roadside. -_- and at another point i couldnt feel the load on my shoulders anymore so much so that i felt that i was walking down orchard road but the only difference that it was a very very long version of orchard road. hahaha oh wells my group finally finished it in 37h36min with about 2hrs of sleep in that timing. hahaha and guess what! we were team no.7! hahaha amazing even though we went to amsterdam for 3hrs+ just to find one specific place on a map so friggin old that the map and the roads didnt tally! hahaha still we could find our way to 7th place! hahaha yep and i can recall myself struggling to read the roadsigns cos they were all in traditional chinese! hahaha but i think i managed to adapt and learn chinese along the way. one would call it circumstantial learning whereby the brain is forced to learn as it is pressed in an environment such that not knowing it would mean not being able to survive in that environment. haha yeah if not i'll probably go amsterdam while on the humvee sia... lol yeah so i think my chinese improved tremendously! hahaha and ive climbed mountains just for the view... one of which had a temple at the peak and i managed to watch a possession in progress which was quite cool. yepyep lots of monkeys as well. and 376 steps of stairs when reaching the top. hahaha all the stuff we did before the r&r was shiong! especially the 4d3n one... or was it 3d2n? i cant remember but it was charlie mike all the way. i probably only slept 5hrs in that few days sia. not to mention lots of cheong sua to do as well. hahaha and i even went down to somewhere south to some dam which was supposedly the east coast of taiwan in terms of car shaking action. LOL okok shall not talk about that le... later kena charged den die sia. =X ok change subject to r&r! haha feels great leaving the camp for r&r man! like its never gonna come and when it finally reaches r&r it feels so surreal. hahaha

yep so we had a tourguide for each bus and ours being the 4th and final bus, we had the most chio tourguide in my opinion. haha yep so first up we went to 日月潭. its some lake and its somewhere in the mountains. the journey there was long and winding and through the clouds and if you watched initial-d its somewhat similar. hahaha still freezing cold then too... hahaha silly me forgot to bring a jacket along.

okies so after tha we went to formosan aboriginal cultural village 九族文化村. its a theme park at the foot of the mountain and a cultural village at the top. so we were kinda early and almost like the whole park was ours cos we went at such wierd timing. yeah so first i sat the mayan adventure which was a rollercoaster ride with your feet dangling in the air. 2 loops too! the first suspended looping coaster in taiwan hahaha we were crazy. i was crazy. but i still went on with the ride. hahaha next ride was the UFO! hahaha its the highest freefall drop of 85m in taiwan! hahaha the ride up was i would say the most scary part and the anticipation was a killer. the view was amazing up there thou but then came the drop. OMFG! the 1st second or so was scary then the 2nd second was where i felt kinda calm then it halted. quite disappointing cos i was expecting much more. hahaha then we sat all the other rides which were not much kick probably cos we sat the rides in the wrong order... hahaha then we took the skyline (cablecar) to the top of the mountain to see the village and take more pics. hahaha the view was undescribable. just beautiful.

the rollercoaster ride... :S

the UFO... scary shit from down here... worse from up there...

the cablecar ride... absolutely amazing view

after that we went for lunch then more traveling to up to taipei city. stopped along the way to buy 太阳饼. quite nice. tastes somewhat similar to lo po pang aka 老婆饼 (wife cakes). then we went to walk down a street full of woodcraft shops. then finally we checked into the hotel called rosemary hotel. something tells me its a love hotel like hotel 81 back in singapore cos outside of the hotel is a whole strech of nightclubs. later did i realise that just around the corner was the taiwanese prostitute stretch and the street opposite it was the japanese one! hahaha yeah so anyways for the 1st night we went to 西门町. its like the orchard rd of taiwan just alot more crowded and the road is only one lane wide. haha yeah so we went around in small groups and only managed to get a t-shirt cos we shopped way to slowly and that there was a curfew timing at 2359. but the shops there mostly close around 11 or so and the hotel was just nearby so it didnt really matter. night snack was cup noodles which were superb! much much better than the ones here at home cos theres MEAT in them! yes MEAT! hahaha you can buy them at any 7-11 or hi-life or family mart. and theres like tons of them all around. take for instance the street just outside my hotel has 2 7-11 and 1 hi-life shop! its insane. there can be like 2 7-11s just facing each other on opposite sides of the road or just 1 block away. hahaha taiwan... where the no. of convenience marts is as many as the no. of temples and shrines. haha

me n yap outside the hotel... haha

next day we went to a local restaurant to have breakfast. went to another theme park called 六福村. wow the rides there are just as crazy. the circle of fire, another freefall drop and the screaming condor which is insane! i didnt have the balls to ride it... haha went to the animal section of the theme park instead... lol had lunch somewere again then another bakery to buy more 太阳饼. then went to chiang kai shek memorial hall to watch the changing of guards parade. wow i am amazed. there is a certain path the guards take for marching and with the boots with the metal plates dragging on the floor, over the years it formed a rusted track or what the tourguide calls it the railroad tracks. then they performed some fancy drills and other stuff then the new guards marched back to the positions and stood there for god knows how long. yep then we went to the national museum and since we cant take photos inside, we took them outside! haha lame pics rite? but the background totally fits the picture's theme hahaha then had dinner at another place then we went to 士林 night market! hahaha this time i went alone for most part. explored the entire place and all the little dark alleys and secret shops. lol in the end i bought 1 pair of shoes, 5 t-shirts and 1 long sleeved shirt. hahaha oh and ate lots of stuff like 鸡排, shaven ice, 水煎包, some pastry fried with an egg which had a taipei walker signboard on the shop, a potato twisted on a stick and fried and sprinkled with seasoning so much so that it feels like eating chips only difference it is on a stick and the whole potato is spiraled around the stick and many many others. hahaha heaven sia but the chicken and pork smell reminded me of all the farms we walked through while we were training. haha blea! oh yeah and the pork smell is damn strong so if i wouldnt reccomend to eat it if you cant stand the smell. yup so then we went back to the hotel and watched some porn. yes porn. hahaha and theres like tons of channels there. lots of variety shows, news channels etc. haha and porn. =X

the shrine we visited

the "railroad tracks"

the new guard after the handover parade... boy it gotta suck to be him... =X

words in the background: TITS stands for this is taiwan, stupid! adapted from blood diamond's TIA this is africa lol

haha behold! the lame kung fu pics we took turned out to be a frame by frame depiction by chance! haha pro!

Leaving On A Jet Plane

All My bags are packed
I'm ready to go
Standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin'
it's early morn
the taxi is waitin'
and he's blowin' his horn

Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
don't know when i'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now they didn't mean a thing

Every place I go I'll think of you
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll bring you a wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go

Because I'm leavin' on a jet plane
don't know when I'll be back again
leavin' on a jetplane dont know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go.....

Blink a couple of times before you say you can't believe it. It's likely that what you thought was in front of you is actually an optical illusion. Whew! What a relief. Now you can carry on with your usual business.

Nothing is going to stay on course today -- people will be behaving very inconsistently, and you will not be able to count on anyone following through with anything. Luckily for you, you're in the midst of a huge productivity streak, so you won't need anyone else's help anyway. Today is a good example of 'if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself' -- and you will feel darn good about your ability to handle a confusing task. You will be cool in a crisis!

It's more about continuing your explorations now than it is about claiming your territory or staking your turf. Stay open to all of love's possibilities -- they're certainly open to you.

MOVIE MARATHON!!!

HAHAHAHA! yeah so i had a movie marathon today... didnt go for mambo last night with the plt mates cos i was too tired to get outta home after reaching home... hahaha yeah so first up was blood and chololate... one word... SUCKS! yeah the movie sucked big time... only consolation was that the actress was quite hot... haha

yeah so then i went to ps and boy oh boy! totally forgot it was a thursday! hahaha all the schoolgirls in school uniforms! hahaha droolz! boy do i miss my student days... carefree as can be... haiz... oh wells... watched pursuit of happyness alone cos nobody apparently was free... yeah but watching movies alone is a whole new experience u noe... somehow it feels different but everything has its pros and cons... yeah so it was a really really nice show! yeah learnt a few lessons too... like theres this part where will smith explains why it is a pursuit of happiness as happiness is what everybody wants but nobody has it in the beginning to start with. so therefore it is a pursuit. to why it is a "Y" instead of an "I" was cos there was graffiti on the wall of the childcare that will smith sends his kid to... not to forget the word "FUCK" too... haha which his son somehow also learnt... together with loveboat n other stuff... what kinda childcare is that man! hahaha yeah and another lesson learnt was when his son was telling him a story of how a drowning man was praying to god for help. then a boat came and ask him if he needed help but he replied god was going to save him. another boat came and asked him the same question and he replied the same thing. in the end the man died and went to heaven. so he asked god why didnt he save him. god replied i sent you 2 boats dummy! hahaha yeah its just like me constantly asking god for a girlfriend but somehow never get a reply... or is it i didnt realise it was just so obvious right in front of my eyes? haha ok i'll reflect on it when i'm out in tw ya...

so next up was music and lyrics. watched it with ron. man that show was just as awesome! loved the music and loved the diva called cora even more! HOTTTTT!!! hahaha yeah its a great date movie... thats what i would recommend... too bad i didnt watch it with a girl... :( hahaha

walked down to wisma n met up with don, jing rei, vernon, guo zhong and daniel for dinner at crystal jade express... then i wanted to cheong another 2 more movies: mr bean and pathfinder! hahaha but they all bo jio... n think im crazy... lol oh wells tmr go cheong mr bean and TMNT!!! WOOHOO!!!

Group endeavors get you where you need to go a lot more quickly than solo efforts. Find some like-minded individuals to join you in your current endeavors. You might just find that everything magically comes together.

You are very sensitive right now, so this is not an ideal day to venture into new situations. The stars suggest that if you need to travel, you should bring a lot of creature comforts along to ease your experience and keep yourself comfortable. Strange locations could exacerbate your confusion, and getting lost is a distinct possibility. Staying home is the best option for today, but if you can't swing that, be sure to give yourself some extra time to adjust.

You can't be in two places at once, but the busier you are (and the more you mix it up) the more fun you'll have now. Make some multifaceted plans with some equally multifaceted people.

03/26/2007 - 04/01/2007

You've got the power of love on your side at the beginning of the week -- platonic, romantic, altruistic and more. How will you use its mysterious forces? Wednesday or Thursday ask that you hone your concentration and be attentive to what's around you. The most mundane things hold important keys now. You're rather analytical on Friday and Saturday, which may take somebody by surprise. Show your soft side, too. There's no escaping the past on Sunday. Just kidding: April fools! In reality, just sort out some old stuff and make room for some fresh and new.

You put on a fun love song -- something by the Jackson Five or Van Morrison -- and dance around your house in your underwear on Monday. Or at least you do this in your mind. Monday is one of those super-fun romantic days. Tuesday and Wednesday you're doing more serious forms of exercise than dancing in your underwear (it's a shame that can't be your sole way of keeping fit!) but Thursday, Friday and Saturday, you're not in a very active mood. Your current relationship has hit a snag, and you two have to talk it through. Sunday has you wondering if it's going to work out.

April

The 1st isn't a bad day for moving into the spotlight -- in fact, it could prove to be a very, very good day to do so. Ditto for the 2nd. Ditto for the 3rd. Yep, babycakes, it's time for you to make a move -- out of the shadows, into center stage. Are you singing? Dancing? Giving a speech? Giving a reading? Are you saying your vows? Are you presenting key statistics to the assembled shareholders? Whatever it is, this month could mark the beginning of a whole new, more public chapter in your life. The 5th, watch your step -- there could be a tricky staircase or two in store. But don't forget -- even if you stumble, you'll learn something. The 10th, you accept something you've been struggling to accept, and the 11th, you should give yourself a little time to think about it. The 13th and 14th look to be really great days -- enjoy every minute of them. By the 19th and 20th, keeping in touch with the ones you love will really help ease any tension you might feel. The 25th, explore all the nooks and crannies involved in a particular situation with as much of an open mind as possible. The 30th, you're busy, in a very good way.

The 1st, take a step back from whatever it is that's going on romantically. Now isn't the time to act, but the time to take a deep breath and then exhale. Try to stop trying to solve everything for everybody all the time. As certain point, other people have to make their own decisions and all you can do is make your own needs and boundaries clear. The 2nd and 3rd, keep working on this. (Inhale, exhale, relax. Inhale, exhale, relax.) The 7th, you come to a turning point. Do you need to make a decision? Or do you need to decide not to make any decisions? By the 11th, you really have an important insight into yourself and your needs for romantic well-being. The 13th and 14th are fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. All that deep breathing and deep thinking really helps, doesn't it? The 19th and 20th, touch base with your best friends and let them know what's going on. The 25th, give yourself plenty of time to get connected with your romantic partner (or partner to be). The 30th, you wrap up the month with a whole new perspective. What is it?

HOME SWEET HOME!

HAHAHA im home! hahaha tmr gonna cheong movies man! hahaha =D oh wells seems like we are gonna have comms ball on the 16th june at grand hyatt... on the lookout now! hahaha =X

March 22, 2007

You just might avoid a whole mess of trouble if you take a temporary vow of silence. Someone's in the mood to blow things out of proportion or misinterpret an innocent comment. Don't give them a target.

If you surround yourself with beauty today, you will give your heart a lovely boost -- and encourage romance in the process. Natural beauty is the most appropriate, because it is something that just is -- it hasn't been manipulated to meet certain expectations. Pick up some flowers to brighten your home, take a walk in a garden or -- better yet -- go for a long hike and breathe the fresh air in deeply. Something is awakening in you now, and it will lead you toward a new goal.

Your intuition may not be shouting, but it's definitely got something to say. Find a quiet spot that'll let you listen to your currently soft-spoken inner voice. Relax and concentrate, then see how you feel.

CHINESE B'DAY!

YEAH its my chinese b'day today... sian... cant go home as yet... soon soon! haha going off to tw real soon too... for 3 weeks! omg... such a long time away from sg... luckily tmr got off day sia... maybe tonight will bookout too! haha oh well it seems like sc n yy isnt free to go watch movies with me... =( oh wells i'll watch it alone then...

March 21, 2007

Romance goes right off the charts when you really give it your best shot. If you're attached, make sure you set aside time for each other -- no interruptions. If you're single, get out there and mingle up a storm.

Not all illusions are false -- sometimes they are just sneak previews of what is to come! It's time to see the glass of water as half full, and make the choice to hope for the best. The conclusion of what is coming to pass over the next few days is still unknown, so why not choose to believe that everything will work out just fine? Visualize the best-case scenario. You won't be fooling yourself -- you'll just be setting the stage for a very happy ending.

How will you express your affection? Indicate your interest? Issue that invitation? The traditional ways are so tired, especially compared to the innovative way of expressing yourself you can discover now.

Tuesday, March 20

Distance is absolutely necessary for your peace of mind, especially if people around you are taking amateur theatrics to a whole new level. Taking a step back right now might be the perfect solution.

It's finally time to dig for the information you need! And lucky you -- the insight you're seeking will lead to some very juicy revelations and perhaps even a life-changing adventure! This time, you've got to do all your digging without letting anyone realize what you are really up to, so put on your most charming camouflage, grab your notebook and get ready to do a little undercover work! Use your creativity to ask all the right questions without tipping anybody off.

Sure, simple is great, but someone with some depth and complexity -- even someone who's downright puzzling -- may be extra-intriguing to you now. Little do they know how good you are at unraveling mysteries.

THE MESSENGERS, 300

March 18, 2007

It's about time you did something nice for yourself. Make self-care a priority no matter what. It doesn't have to be a big gesture, either. A good book in a sunny corner is just the right treat to start off a day.

When you pamper the people you love, you are showing them that you love them! So why don't you do the same for yourself today? You do love yourself, but you have to show yourself that fact every once in a while -- or you just might forget! Give yourself a special present today. Whether it's as simple as a manicure or as extravagant as a tropical vacation, treat yourself like the most important person in your life -- because you are!

Go on -- treat yourself! You're certainly worth it, and the stars say that the care you lavish on yourself now has fabulous effects. You don't have to be extravagant about it, just thoughtful.

March 19, 2007

A complicated friend might excel at making matters more convoluted than they actually are. Lately you think of this person as more of a liability than a pleasure. Remind them where your boundaries are.

There might be a huge array of information coming your way today, but you are ready for all of it! Like a human sponge, you will be able to absorb all the facts, figures, names, dates and ideas that come flooding toward you. There is no need to fear that you will be overwhelmed, because your thirst for knowledge is only growing stronger. Quench this thirst by seeking out even more information -- read, listen and take it all in.

Is this person just a friend? What's the nature of your relationship? Are they trying to imply something? Are you? Goodness, things can be ambiguous when romance may (or may not!) be involved -- like now.

03/19/2007 - 03/25/2007

Is somebody hiding something at the beginning of the week? Could it even be you? Try shedding light and getting issues or secrets out in the open. By Wednesday or Thursday, you might just be shouting from the proverbial rooftops -- or maybe this is stuff that's better conveyed in a whisper or a love note. Find your unique expression; it's so much better than the usual. Watch your step, literally and figuratively, on Friday and Saturday; you may be accident- or mistake-prone now. The arts are in the stars on Sunday, whether you're spectating or creating.

Sunday is your day of romance this week, so let everything else align toward that. Monday and Tuesday are hopelessly weird. Let that be okay with you. Wednesday and Thursday are very romantic -- you're trading flirtatious emails with someone and every love song you hear seems to be written about you and you-know-who! But Friday and Saturday are overwhelmingly busy in nonromantic ways. Then comes Sunday. Sunday has it all: music, picnics, poetry, epic walks and creativity. There may even be some gorgeous butterflies ... landing on your nose ... while you're laughing.

Thursday, March 15:

Learn to deal with ambiguity by letting it exist. If you act too rapidly to try and make it go away, havoc could ensue. Often the solution becomes a much larger problem than the original situation.

It's good to have self-discipline, but if you deny yourself too many indulgences for too long, you run the risk of being a boring person! So give yourself a break today, and allow yourself to deviate from your rigid schedule or regimen. One lazy day won't put you off course forever, so kick back a little and forget about the rules you've created for yourself. Once you do, you will be able to find joy in being normal. There's no joy in trying to be perfect.

If you've been longing for some change, get ready to embrace it in all its chaotic glory. It may be hard to get a grasp on, at least at first -- but try to envelop it in a big bear hug.

Friday, March 16:

Give yourself a makeover, physically and spiritually. Clean your closet and donate unwearable clothes. Get rid of any clutter that surrounds you. In order for the new to enter your life, you have to make room for it.

If you have a somewhat busy day today, make an effort to get things done as soon as you can -- you will need some free time in the afternoon so you can daydream about your future. Sound silly to schedule fantasy time? It's not -- in fact, it's just as important as a doctor's appointment or a staff meeting. Your imagination requires maintenance, and you need to get some imagining done so you can recognize a dream coming true when it happens.

Are you headstrong or heartstrong at the moment? Is your intellect directing your moves, or are you being run by your emotions? Ideally, neither is true -- and the stars say you can find an excellent balance now.

Saturday, March 17:

Dwelling on the past and perceived failures won't help you. If you view everything in the past as a potential lesson for wisdom, you won't have any regrets. The future is full of opportunities if you look at it that way.

When you look in the mirror, do you see what others see? There is a lack of accuracy in your self-image. And the only way to attack this problem you have with yourself is to look outside of yourself -- and consult others. Talk to the people who know you best. Ask them what they think about your recent actions and choices. They have some wisdom to share, and they can help you start getting a more accurate idea of who you are.

You may just come across a bit o' fine luck when it comes to romance on this day! Let a smile be your companion, and you could be surprised at all the love that comes right back at you.

SOC AGAIN...

March 12, 2007

It's time to get it together. The stars favor fresh starts. Has there been too much fast food and not enough exercise in your life? Too much saying yes when you meant no? Think about it.

Of course, all your friends are special to you, but you should focus on your friends in high places right now. They have some news, and perhaps even an exciting new opportunity, that you should know more about. This is not about using someone to get what you want -- and that isn't your style, anyway. It's about being aware of inside information and using it to your advantage. There is nothing wrong with that.

Choose your steps along love's path with care now. It's important to take into account not just what you desire, but what the right thing to do is. Your romantic karma hangs in the balance.

March 13, 2007

Do you feel like you're heading into uncharted territory without a guide to hold your hand, or point out the dangers on the path? Excellent! Even though it feels frightening, you're on the right track. Keep it up.

Have you ever cooked something that turned out to be less delicious than you expected? You had all the ingredients and you did everything according to the recipe -- but it just didn't come together in the right way. In a group situation right now, you are experiencing the same sort of thing. And the problem lies in the quality of your ingredients. It's not that something is missing -- the elements are all there, but one (or perhaps two) of them is just not good enough.

While appropriate boundaries between the world of work and one's personal life are important, there's bound to be a little crossover -- like right about now. Handle with caution, and it can end up just fine.

March 14, 2007

With so many new goings-on around you at home and at work, it's time to take extra-special care of yourself on multiple levels. Make sure you're doing all you can for your mental and physical states at this time.

Collaboration and teamwork will result in very powerful energy right now, so pitch in and volunteer to assist a coworker or friend in need. Getting involved will zap some new excitement into your life and make you feel more valued than you've felt in a very long time. Outdoor activity is also something you might want to explore today -- some fresh air will be very good for your mood.

A friend can offer a very valuable assist when it comes to a matter of the heart -- or is it you that's giving them some help or support? Maybe it's both. In any case, some great give and take is on the way.

March 10, 2007

The drama of being in a relationship with undefined borders can fool you into thinking that's enough. Deep down, however, you know it's not. It's time to put aside the substitutes. Look for a more substantial situation.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely -- so be wary of someone who has a great deal of authority over your life now. This power-hungry person could make a very aggressive move today, and if your territory is encroached upon, you may have to defend yourself. Your words are your best defense, so use a combination of intelligence and humor to remind this petty tyrant that you have power over your own life. Luckily, this person's bark is probably much worse than her or his bite.

Curb that tendency of yours to space out. There's much to be learned right here on Earth when it comes to all things love related -- if you're extra aware of what's happening around you and in your own heart.

March 11, 2007

Go ahead and listen to your gut when it comes to a certain pressing question. If you insist on trying to make the situation fit within certain rules, you could be heading for an easily avoided disaster.

Your words will have more power than usual today -- so take time to think before you speak. It's one thing to get caught up in an enthusiastic conversation and say something silly, but it is quite another thing to say something you'll later regret. As you might recall from past slips of the tongue, the taste of shoe leather is not an easy one to get out of your mouth. Play it safe -- if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Can you keep a secret? If someone asks you that, consider that you've got a definite tendency to let things slip now -- maybe even some of your own innermost thoughts and feelings.

03/12/2007 - 03/18/2007

Monday morning may find you prone to saying things you haven't quite thought through, making for an interesting start to the week. But over the next couple of days, you'll find help when you need it -- and likewise, those around you can count on your care, compassion and excellent timing. If you've been wishing for something (or is it someone?) different, Thursday and Friday present a good time to focus those desires and use your amped-up brainpower to make a plan. The weekend should provide plenty of great energy for you, so get ready to use it!

You're on less of a romantic track than a humanitarian mission this week. Literally, you're helping people left and right -- making them food, calling just to check in, volunteering in your spare time, offering to take the leadership position on a group project. What about you? What about what you need? Good question! Thursday and Friday you have to schedule some time for decompressing on the couch or you'll go crazy. This weekend, you realize that you're undergoing a kind of personal transformation. That's odd and exciting and, from the perspective of an outsider, very attractive.

LABADOR PARK

WOOHOO! today i booked in at 7am just to go to labador park for some treasure hunt... lol den went home again! hahaha booking in later tonite thou... haha i love long weekends! hahaha but i hate SOC... which is tmr... sobx...

March 05, 2007

A moody loved one might need plenty of space to process some emotions, so revise any plans you had for lots of together time. Actually, when you think about it, taking a break suits your needs very well right now.
With the grace of an Olympic gymnast, you can effortlessly find the perfect balance between opposing forces and attitudes today. Two groups both want you to join them, but you can't be in two different places at once -- suggest a compromise, and you may be able to have the best of both worlds. No one else is thinking from the perspective that you have, so no one can come up with anything better. You are in control of this situation, and you will manage to stay a free agent.

If you're dwelling on some old romantic business, it's time for a fresh agenda. How can you process the past? Figure it out, and quick. The sooner you get started, the sooner the fun really begins.

March 06, 2007

The stars are telling you it's time to clean up your act when it comes to personal conduct -- and no excuses will be accepted. Accept the tough love. The powers that be are whipping you into shape for your own benefit.

There are bumpy times in every relationship. Today some problems could arise in one of your partnerships -- and those problems will not be easy to solve immediately. Now might be a good time to separate and get some stuff done on your own. Paradoxically, giving each other space will make the value of having a partner clear to both of you. Do not make moves to permanently change this partnership -- what is happening now is merely a phase. As a team, you two are way too valuable to break up!

If an ex (or someone else who's more about yesterday than the here and now) owes you something -- money, a favor, an apology -- consider letting it go. Doing so without bitterness is likely better than waiting around.

03/05/2007 - 03/11/2007

While making a decision may be tough at the beginning of the week, it's important to weigh the pros and cons, then take a proactive step. Otherwise you'll be left in limbo -- or left to deal with someone else's choices. Around Thursday and Friday, your emotions may be running the show. Spend time with trusted loved ones and do an activity that helps clear your head. And while the weekend may bring a difference of opinion, it's all about how you handle it. Ask questions to find out what underpins their point of view, rather than pushing yours.

It's not always easy to know what to do about your love life, but sometimes -- on Monday or Tuesday, for example -- you just have to pick a path and stick to it. Don't feel constrained by the choice you make. You'll have plenty of opportunities to change direction again later. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday you have no more clarity about what you're doing, but you're pretty clear on what you want to avoid. Let this guide you. Saturday and Sunday, keep your wits about you and your eyes and ears open. Something unexpected and wonderful could happen to you if you're paying attention.
