Lao Zha Bor At Blogspot

Our elders already deserve our respect because they once took care of us.

When I was a child, I was regularly admonished to “respect your elders.” During those early years I knew that I had to respect them because they took care of me, gave me guidance when I had no direction of my own, and, I feared, could discipline me for refusing to bend to their will.

Still, whether due to my own impatience or my incomplete grasp of the rules, I sometimes questioned my parents’ authority and often tested the limits they set for me. It was only years later that I began to see the wisdom in their ways and sought, rather than avoided, their counsel.

I used to think it amazing that my dad seemed to know so much about practical psychology and that the people he worked with valued him and often sought his assistance. I now realize that so much of what I have come to value in myself I became because of my father and my mother.

Sometimes (often) our elders can work as hard and perform as well as we can. Let’s respect them for that.

Our elders have accumulated a lifetime of experience. Let’s respect and listen to them when they have something to say about the most important things.

It is in our own interest that we give our elders their due respect. Even more than respect, we need to give them our time and our listening, our interaction and our gratitude. This is true no matter our present age, nor theirs. It’s a win-win situation.

This lady here, http://laozhabor.blogspot.com/ deserves everyone's respects. I respect her, truly. Even if she doesn't write her own blog and has people helping her, we shouldn't fault her at all.

Are you a fan of Buffy the vampire slayer? Are you a fan of Willow?

Watch the video. It's an episode when Willow turned evil.

Acting For Ayumi Hamasaki

Can Ayumi Hamasaki act? She can sing, but can she act?


I'm not too sure till I see her act.

The Five Don'ts When You Are Sleeping

1 DON'T READ MY BLOG BEFORE YOU SLEEP

Reading my blog before you sleep may just bring you nightmares. You'll dream of ugly me chasing you in your dreams.

2 DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA

Scientists in America have discovered those that wear bras for more than 12 hours have a higher risk of getting breast cancer. So go to bed without it.

3 DON'T SLEEP WITH PHONE

Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere near you is not encouraged. Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks, but please put the phone as far as possible. Scientists have proved that electrical items including mobile phone and television sets emit magnetic waves when used.

These waves can cause disruptions to our nervous system. Therefore if you need to put your mobile phone near you, switch it off first.

4 DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP

People who sleep with make up might have skin problems in the long run. Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to have difficulty in breathing and problem in perspiring. You will also need a much longer time to go into deep sleep.

Lastly.....

5 DON'T SLEEP WITH OTHERS' WIFE / HUSBAND

You may never wake up again.

Fireworks (A Preview)

You're going to expect alot of fireworks this year on the 9th of August. Come down to Marina Bay to catch the beautiful fireworks.

Simply beautiful. I was watching from the backstage after my march.

The above photo looks like a heart.

So orgasmic!

I don't get to see fireworks live most of the time. The first time I saw lots of fireworks was last year when I was in the fireworks committee during the national day.

Come down to catch the fireworks and the parade. I am in the marching contigent.

Highly Overrated

I think they should get other medics to cover for their trainings or tests. Yesterday, I had duty and had to do cover for 14 kilometer live run and then just about when I came back to my company line, I was asked to cover IPPT.

But I had to politely tell the officer that I was not able to make it for the cover because I was asked to do medic cover on another training.

And then in the afternoon, I had to do medic cover for a SOC test that was conducted at Nee Soon camp.

Just last week, in that 5 days of being in camp, I was asked to cover AHM run, IPPT, SOC and close combat training. It was really very tiring for me.

You may ask, "where are all the other medics?"

They are, however, clearly clearing their close combat training, IPPT, and SOC. I am or maybe the first few of the medics to complete everything. I'm not boasting but I think I am highly overrated. I think they need to stop asking me to cover because I feel really tired and misused.

But I've never get this kind of feeling before. A feeling of being on the top with the others who have completed everything. A feeling of great achievements.
All hail Shah Rizal.

Ayumi Hamasaki - Fated

I promise you this is a song you will not regret listening to though it's in Japanese. Go google and search for the english translation.
What brings you here? To seek for adventure or believe in nothingness?

Sudden Surge Of Emptiness

Yesterday, I felt a sudden surge of emptiness. Scary. I never felt this for a long long time already. It hit me hard yesterday.

What is the meaning of Life? Life has no meaning, other than what you give it. If you believe that you create your own reality, then your Life is that reality. Is your Life full of turmoil and personal drama?

Then this is the meaning of your Life. If you were to cease all turmoil and personal drama, does that mean your Life would cease to have meaning? For many, this would appear to be true. They were raised to believe that without turmoil and personal drama, there would be no meaning to Life.

Drama and personal turmoil are powerful creations of the ego. The ego wants to keep you occupied with the turmoil and personal drama, leaving little time or space for anything else.

Just suppose that tomorrow all my turmoil and personal drama ceased - forever.


How would I fill the time? All those days and nights? How would I fill my Life which, at the present moment, is chock full of "stuff"? How would I fill your newly emptied existence?


I would probably start by filling it with all the things I do right now. How could I possibly exist without doing all those things? Thinking all those thoughts?

What would I fill your mind with? If there were no more turmoil or personal drama, what would I think about - nothing? It takes years of practice to think about nothing, for just a few minutes. But then, I would have years to practice with no turmoil or personal drama to distract me.

And feelings; what about all those feelings? Would there be any feelings if all the turmoil and personal drama ceased - forever? Feeling nothing. How would that feel?

Bitterness From Being Sweet

It's harder to express my feelings out here in my blog because if I do, it will affect certain people. It's even harder to complain in my blog even without aking people talk about it the next day.

I poured out my feelings alot in my previous blog but not here. Every movements of mine are being monitored. No, not by the government. But from people whom I know; my friends, my family.

And it took alot of courage to pour out 1/2 of my secrets in my blog for my 500th entry.

I used to flare up easily.

I don't understand why others are being so stupid for doing something stupid.

I don't understand why others are being so bad for doing something bad and hurting others.
I don't understand why others are being so rigid that they can't deal with difficulties in a flexible way.

I don't understand why others being so lazy at work.

I don't understand why others are being so irresponsible.
I don't understand why others are being so selfish who don't care about others' feelings or benefits.

One may say, "why the hell you care to understand why? What does that even got to do with you?

Why should I even bother to listen to others? Why do I even care what you think of me? Are people's opinion that important to me?

I admit I was someone who demand for "equality" from others in terms of taste, feelings, capability and even intelligence. I see people being "equal" that I "believe" others are "identical" to me. Truth lies not true. No other individual in this world would think, act and behave exactly the same as me.

My First To Have Styled It Less Than 3 Minutes

Usually, it will take me more than 20 minutes to get my hair styled and it's really troublesome. I have to comb my hair backwards and then style it.

But today it took me less than 3 minutes. I was like, 'what the heck, I'm lazy to comb my hair. Anyhow lah!'

Then suddenly, I got what I wanted.

I guessed if you yearn for that something, you wouldn't really get it but if you stop thinking of what you wanted to get, it will appear in front of you as immediately.

Why Your Friends Betray

Friends who betray their own friends are friends who never valued your friendship.Friends who betray their own friends were never your friends to start with. Friends who betray their own friends are two-faced.

Friends who betray their friends normally do so for shallow reasons, reflecting shallowness within themselves.Friends who betray their friends should pay extra attention to this saying..."what goes around,comes around."

1. To try to steal your man.

2. To make themselves seem important (gossiping about you to others).

3. They are jealous of some aspect of your life!

4. They are angry with you for something (probably stupid) and they dont know how to tell you so they are being passive agressive.

On a lighter note, I'm not being happy to realize who are my true friends and those who only appear 'plastic' to me. Anymore plastic, you're just going to be like a credit card.

500th Entry; Issac Ritz

I hate it when people cut my queue. I mean that only happens when you're around typical Singaporeans. Can you imagine yourself in the queue for nearly an hour and suddenly the next thing you know is that the girl in front of you have had requests from her friends to 'chop' the queue for them.

Which means instead of having only to wait for one more in front of me, I have to like wait for another six more people before I could purchase my tickets. I was flabbergasted. Extremely. Is this how the queue system work here in Singapore?

People getting all 'kiasu'. Take the classic example, they reserve seats at hawker centers by placing their personal belongings to indicate to people that the seats are already taken. they would go to the extend of placing their packet of tissue paper.

I'm soft-spoken. I let matters off too easily. I didn't really get annoyed when this uncle decided to ut my queue. He pretended that I wasn't even in the queue.

Only when there are massive groups of people cutting me do I really care.

As I was alone and there are like many of them, I tried not to blow up the matter. I asked the girl who was orginally there in a polite tone, "Excuse me, do you mind if I go first since I didn't know you promised your friends to 'chop' queues for them and I have been waiting forever here?"

And the girl replied, "You want to cut my queue is it?"

I sensed the sarcastic tone in her voice. Oh my god, she's so rude. I declare her a BITCH. It's totally absurd. Why would I want to cut her queue? I could have done that long ago, maybe when I was in the queue for the first few minutes.

"This guy wants to cut queue leh girls. How ah? How come Singaporeans are like that?"

When I heard that, I went berserked. I could have sworn I would cut her into pieces if I have an axe with me.

Thankfully, there were others behind me who witnessed it and just like me, got really angry. The girl then told the rest that I was trying to jump queue.

Girl, I was there all along and when if I cut her queue, it wouldn't affect the others in the queue. But now, you're talking about five other girls trying to join the queue, overtaking all the other tired and angry people.

Enough said, she was refused to purchase the tickets.

And other case; as for the exit ramp people, that's annoying, But whatever. It's not like it's done every ten seconds. What I hate the most, though, is when you've got a group of people who barge past you, and you say something, and they look at you like you're the a**hole. That's just rude and stupid.

I really hate it when people push past say that they want to go meet their friends, for one thing they are probably lying and have no friends in the queue, but it is hard to say no for me because if I say no then I will feel guilty for spoiling their day even if they have spoilt mine.

The worst case queue jumping I saw was a group of 7-8 coloured men came in entrance to rush, and because the queue sort of loops back on itself, all they had to do was jump one fence and they were practically on. Anyway, security was called and eventually they were kicked out, but the ride was stopped for more time than it would have taken for them just to ride... better stick to policies though so they don't do it again.

What say you? What will you feel if you're in a queue way too long and someone just cut your queue?

Anyway, like I said, I am way too soft-spoken. I know, it's been quite a while but I have to get things cleared. In the previous paragraph, I wrote, "Why would I want to cut her queue? I could have done that long ago, maybe when I was in the queue for the first few minutes.

I used to have this best friend but we ended our friendship abruptly. Few weeks later, his blog account was hacked into and his blog was deleted with all his entries completely erased. Why would I want to wait a few weeks later when I can do it immediately.

I gloated to his loss but gloating doesn't mean I was the culprit.

Like he said, I have his password and userid and I must be the one who deleted his blog and yes, I do admit I still have the password and userid and I can successfully logged onto his blogger account.

But like I said earlier, I could have done it immediately after we stopped being friends. Anyway, this doesn't really matter anymore.

I have so many secrets and it's really scary. The longer I keep, the more uncomfortable I become. There are so many rumors about me. And they say there are so many different sides of me. I keep on flipping my character till they don't know which is the real me.

True, I have split personality but that was generated when I had this very traumatic experience 3 years ago which I promised to write in my blog soetime ago.

I was someone who was able to cater to people's needs; care and support. I was likeable. I don't have any so called dirty little secrets about me at all.

But after the traumatic experience, I changed. I was telling myself, 'you've got to protect yourself, stand up for yourself. You've been pushed around alot and it's time for you to stand up for yourself.'

So that was when my other personality, the stronger one, starts to take over. I was someone who doesn't club. I was someone who doesn't drink. I wasn't at all flirtatious. I was me. But things changed.

The stronger personality of mine likes things that I don't. It's like a 360degree change in me. And sometimes when I think about it, I feel afraid. Sometimes, I feel that I am losing control of myself.

I want to change to become a better person. But before I do, let me get the facts and diss all the rumors that aren't true.

I was addicted to clubbing. I club every weekends; Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sometimes, it could go to the extend of clubbing during weekdays. I got lost on the dancefloor. I drink. I become drunk. I was wasting my life away.

Now, I told myself that it's time for me to quit the habit of mine. Most of my friends said, "hey you're 22 still, enjoy youself because once you grow older, this kind of things, you'll soon start to lose interest."

True, they are true but this isn't a lifestyle I wanted. This isn't the healthy lifestyle I yearned for. I want to go the beach to suntan or probably play volleyball. I want to go to the park to roller blade or probably to cycle.

But I don't have friends who like sports. I only have those who likes to club. They are an avid clubber.

Some say I mix with the wrong company and that they have led me astray. And they are also the ones who are not your true friends.

Friendship involves recognition or familiarity with another's personality. Friends often share likes and dislikes, interests, pursuits, and passion. How can we recognize potential friendship? Signs include a mutual desire for companionship and perhaps a common bond of some kind.

Beyond that, genuine friendship involves a shared sense of caring and concern, a desire to see one another grow and develop, and a hope for each other to succeed in all aspects of life. True friendship involves action: doing something for someone else while expecting nothing in return; sharing thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or negative criticism.

True Friendship - Relationship, Trust, Accountability. True friendship involves relationship. Those mutual attributes we mentioned above become the foundation in which recognition transpires into relationship.

Many people say, "Oh, he's a good friend of mine," yet they never take time to spend time with that "good friend." Friendship takes time: time to get to know each other, time to build shared memories, time to invest in each other's growth.

Trust is essential to true friendship. We all need someone with whom we can share our lives, thoughts, feelings, and frustrations. We need to be able to share our deepest secrets with someone, without worrying that those secrets will end up on the Internet the next day!

Failing to be trustworthy with those intimate secrets can destroy a friendship in a hurry. Faithfulness and loyalty are key to true friendship. Without them, we often feel betrayed, left out, and lonely. In true friendship, there is no backbiting, no negative thoughts, no turning away.

True friendship requires certain accountability factors. Real friends encourage one another and forgive one another where there has been an offense. Genuine friendship supports during times of struggle.

Friends are dependable. In true friendship, unconditional love develops. We love our friends no matter what and we always want the best for our friends.

I want true friends and I hope I can know who's right for me.

One thing that sets me apart from a few is I don't take drugs. I may club and drink and smoke (thrice when I was in Taiwan and Brunei) and have plenty of sex but I will never take drugs.

But sometimes I do want to take steriods whenever I have my combat tests. I want to pass. Then again, that isn't the best solution afterall. I wouldn't want to pass base on steriods.

It's been 2 months since I drink alcoholic drinks. Hooray to me. I felt sober again. I used to question those who drink beer, "Why would you want to drink it when it taste awful, when it taste bitter?"

They help you drown your sorrows. They help you forget.

I've got a better way now and that is to do something that I like, blogging. And now I am addicted to it.

They say I am flirtatious. Yes, I am but when I am in a relationship, I will expect myself not to flirt or sleep aroundwith others. Because there's only a reason to it. I love that person alot.

And when I am in a relationship, many will doubt that it will last long. They asked what love means to me.

I believe that love can be described in more ways than one and there sure are different kinds of love you feel for someone but when you can't eat and can't sleep because all you think about is that special someone than you are definately in love.

Ever sit on the couch thinking your going to relax and read a book or something and you look down and your on page 10 of the book but because your mind is thinking about the person you just can't seem to get your mind off of you have to go all the way back to page number one.

Or you have a date with that special someone and when you glance at him/her for the first time that night your stomach knots with butterflies and you suddenly feel so sick because there's the man(woman) of your dreams standing in front of you.

My defintion of love is when you can't wait to see that person again; when you get dropped off at home but run for the phone just so you can hear their voice once again; when you would give anything to be together just five more minutes; you trust them with all of your heart; your comfortable together and know you could talk about anyhting; you are there for each other no matter what good or bad; you stand beside them proudly with confidence and last but definately not least, sharing speacial moments that one day you know will make wonderful memories to look back on and share with the ones you love the most.

I really wish I know what I want in life. I need someone or a few to guide me.

Where does this come from? This quest.

This need to solve life's mysteries from the simplest of questions that can never be answered.

Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream?

Have we been better off not looking at all, not yearning. But that's not human nature, not the human heart. That is not why we are here.

Yet still we struggle to make a difference. To change the world. To dream of hope. Never knowing of certain who we will meet along the way.

Who among the world of strangers will hold our hand, touch our hearts and share the pain of trying.

Praised For The Good; Kick the Habit!

Praised by Meryl Streep and compared to screen legend Diane Keaton, Lindsay Lohan declared, at 20, that she wanted to win an Oscar by 30. Instead, by 21, she completed two stints in rehab and was arrested for driving under the influence twice.

As a freckled-faced youngster, Lohan delighted Disney audiences in The Parent Trap, and shot to fame in the 2004 teen hit, Mean Girls. But she ditched her PG-persona, partying with Hollywood "It" girls and missing work.

The actress' high-quality turns in Bobby and Garry Marshall's Georgia Rule were overshadowed by her fast-track lifestyle. Less than two weeks after spending her 21st birthday in rehab, the troubled star got busted for DUI, possession of cocaine and driving on a suspended license.

Talking On The Job / Darren

I've been going out so often, there's a very big hole in my pocket. I should cut down on my spendings and start saving.


I met up with Darren for lunch at Takashimaya. I was still bloated from food I've eaten the previous day.

I decided to buy a drink and skip a meal. Well, no harm.

I love Cartier.

Object of desire.

Can you believe it? The manager of subway at Cineleisure was talking on the phone while working. Bad!

No lah, not really. He already knocked off from work. He's a friend of mine, Jimmy. How can I sabotage him right?

Lindsay Lohan's Arrest

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (July 24, 2007) – Lindsay Lohan has gone on the record about her arrest, communicating only with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush.

When Billy e-mailed Lohan asking if everything was OK and if there was anything she wanted him to get out there for her, she responded, "Yes. I am innocent... did not do drugs they're not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Tarin's mom. I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy."

According to Santa Monica Police, Lohan was arrested early Tuesday morning on suspicion of drunken driving at approximately 1:30 AM. She was driving a white SUV.

When pulled over by police, authorities said the 21-year-old actress refused to submit to a Breathalyzer, but did agree to other field sobriety tests, which she failed.

What I say?

Lindsay's still the best.

Aldo's Acting Class

It's been a long time since I met up with Aldo. The last time was when I went clubbing with him like 2 months back.

We had dinenr at Tiong Bahru Plaza and Aldo taught me a thing or two to regards of acting.


Anyway, we ordered desserts even though I know after taking the main course and feeling bloated.

Aldo was like telling me, "acting is like dipping ice-cream into curry sauce."

"All you have to do is to be real and not pretentious on screen, like me."

The Princesses

Of all seven, two are worthy.

Ruien is too cool to be the next Zoe Tay and she always act tomboyish. It's not going to work out for her.

Fiona Xie, maybe, just maybe, will be the next Fann Wong.

Joanne Peh can't act. I thought she would improved each time she appear in a new drama serial, but I was wrong.

Dawn Yeoh, too cute lah.

Jeannette Aw is improving but she's already 27 or 28, she bloomed too late.

Jesseca, since the start, has been consistent with her acting skills.


But she's 26, time is running short. Give her more big roles!

Felicia's good-looking, young, she's only 22 and she can act. She's trying. And each time she appears in a new drama serial, she gets better!

Puncak's Still The Hot Favorite

Jeff and I went to Puncak today for lunch. I was at Orchard and he was aroudn there too so we decided to meet up.


Yummy, if I have the choice between fried oyster and the food at Puncak, I will choose Puncak's. The restaurant is located at the fifth floor of Far East Plaza.

Jeff was caught off guard!

Yes, me.

They Caught Me In Action

" We caught Issac walking into the NEA building, I guess he must be paying his dued fines. He looked distress."

"He was walking so solemnly. I bet he paid a huge amount!"




"I guess he deserved it. Shame on him. When I walked into the customer service center and asked what sin Issac had committed, they said he had fished at a restricted area."

"Ashamed of his acts, he wore shades."

"He spotted us. He used his file to cover his face. This is so news-worthy!"

Sharon Osbourne Insults Half The Celebrity World

Sharon Osbourne has reportedly labelled Madonna and Michael Jackson “c**ts”, Melanie Griffith and Michael Douglas “grotesque” for their cosmetic surgery decisions, U2’s Bono a “tw*t” and Diana Ross “an awful woman”.


Sharon is quoted in former Mirror editor Piers Morgan’s new book laying into her fellow celebrities: “Mick Jagger is always up some lord or lady’s arse on a Persian rug. He makes me sick. Madonna - what a c***. I’d like to punch her.”

“[Melanie Griffith]’s destroyed herself. Now she looks grotesque - it’s so sad. [Michael Douglas -] that’s another terrible face job. Poor c***.”

Her spokesperson has defended the rants saying the comments were “meant tongue-in-cheek [and] were taken out of context."

Just Being Paris

You know you've got it bad when you're insulted for looking like the princess of trash. Paris Hilton was recently left completely embarrassed after being mistaken for who other than herself.


The famous-for-being-famous star and Pamela Anderson were dining at Los Angeles' lavish Koi restaurant last week when another customer approached the heiress and apologetically said, "Don't take this the wrong way, but you look like Paris Hilton."

Lindsay Lohan Fever

Lindsay's simply hot!


Lindsay Lohan has been officially charged with driving under the influence and misdemeanor hit and run. The charges stem from a Memorial Day weekend car crash. (July 20)

Fried Osyter Frenzy

I'm not sure if I have recommended the fried osyter stall at ABC market but this is a stall you must go.

They fry delicious fried osyter.

I'll be like going to their stall every day and it's cheap. Other stall I went to sell $5 the cheapest whereas at this recommended stall, the cheapest is $3 and it comes in big serving.

Focused

Pink cab!

Now, would you be going ga ga over the color of the cab or would you notice that he's parking there?

So that I will get a good charmed life and romance in love.
22nd July 2007, 1800 hours.

Welcoming, Louis From Vietnam

We brought him to Chinatown. It was on a Friday and I must say it's really a very crowded place.

Louis came here last Monday and I only get to see him like 2 days ago.

Jeff and I brought him to places he had never been to before. I thought that would be rather interesting.

Guess how old Louis is?

23! A year older than me but he looked rather young.

After touring Chinatown, we left for Mox.

I know, you must be wondering why I am still clubbing? No, it's not my fault. They wanted to go there so I have no choice.

Nice.

It's really weird to have signs placed at every corner, signs like, "Tanglin Hall".

Louis with his beer.

He has this very cool look.

My beer and I.

Louis photographed in the lift.

While walking to Play, I saw my godbrother, Brandon. Getting skinny wor!


Well, I hope you have had a nice stay here!
