A not so Alone "Alone day"
Well well. Today was a day i was trying to be alone, do my own things, walk ard shop. eat some food and properbly be a loner caught in deep thoughts.
Hmm however, 10 mins after walking out of my home, someone called out to me. "Oei, Niao ren." I ignored and carried on walking to the bus stop. Then this person went on, "Oei, don't Dao leh". I was kinda annoyed and i turned and saw this dude... vaguely his name flashed in my thoughts. Then it striked me.. OH THAT MY BED BUDDY FROM CAMP. I havent seen this guy since i left BMTC. wow that brings back memories.
Hahaha we walked and talked for another 10 mins and departed seperated ways with new numbers in our contact list.

I went to over to Nex and was hungry. so decided to try out Wendy's..
Walked in and GUESS WHO I SAW? MR BEN, Our dearest Ave's BF. LOL.
Ate and spent some time alone watching video, drawing and reading. My perfect spend some time alone was disturbed by a group of rowdy kids. TSK. Off to find something else to do. I think ended up at NTUC and did some solo shopping. Then suddenly, I saw from afar my friend from korea (studying in singapore for 10 years alr) lol. again. i chatted and spend a good solid 40 mins talking to her and her friends, and they decided to watch a movie and i tagged along. lol
The movies pretty good and Barbie Hsu (Da S) has became really beautiful after not seeing her on screen for sometime. Oh I left after the movies to head hom for dinner. :| But then, as im leaving.. HELLO MR BEN again. LOL bumping into him again. Oh Well that concludes my not so alone "alone day".

Pulau Ubin without the Chuu
Okay guys. I expect a detailed photo log of how awesome and beautiful the trip to Ubin was.
Update prease~!
Left-in-Singapore-Chuu.
For those who are often pressed for time yet yearning a getaway to a land with fresh air and a slower pace of life, Ubin is definitely the place to visit! The moment the boat sets off, it already feels like you're somewhere else because old boats from the 60s/70s that looks rugged are rare and few these days in SIngapore, where everything needs to be new, modern and advanced. Even though we do not have blue waters, but I must say that the horizon looks gorgeous no matter which sea you're traveling on, gaze at the sky and admire how vast and open your surroundings are. It is really something to behold especially when we're constantly surrounded by skyscrapers. Upon reaching the island, you'll be greeted with fresh air and lots of bicycle rental shops and seafood places and a lot of mongrels. If you're pressed for time, lazy yet don't want to miss out on anything, I suggest you flag a local taxi and get the experts to bring you around the whole island. If you're thinking of burning a few hundred calories, rent a bicycle and start pedaling your way around!
The main purpose of our visit was Chek Jawa Wetlands. The journey to and fro was a fascinating and enjoyable experience with encounters with mushrooms, geckos, butterflies and birds but nothing could beat the feeling when exploring the mangroves and coastal area on foot. Even though we didn't manage to witness the coral bed and sea creatures due to the midday high tide, we saw tiny crabs with huge claws and tiny bodies crawling out of their burrows. We also saw fishes and wild boars/Black pigs.
Another thing I enjoyed was the people I have encountered. The boats, bicycle rentals hops and F&B outlets are all operated by middle aged and elderly folks. They are what we reckon as the 'lower educated' people yet they are so honest, hospitable and caring. They seem truly happy and free. I love watching the uncles ferrying us to and fro the island, they truly care about the passengers' safety and they seem so contented with life and their job and money doesn't seem to matter. All they need is their partner, the rugged boat and they are free to explore the seas as they please. To us, it seems like they have very little, but they seem so happy and contented. I feel really "urbanized" to always be carrying my phone with me and texting, checking the time, hoping GPS works.
I highly encourage a trip to Ubin personally to experience it all. In fact, one day isn't enough to appreciate everything the island has to offer. But words certainly doesn't do the experience justice.
Yours Truly,
Ave, still yearning for a vacation

New age relationship
Hmm whats with the relationship between ppl nowadays?
Its like back then the trend of a relationship being stuck together with a double-sided tape. Its like being a conjoined body couple. You'll be together for like almost everynow and then. But hey spot the new trend!
Couples now keep their distance, not as in distant in heart and mind. but rather, physical distant. Not meeting everyday, Not being on the phone..? Both has its plus points i mean but it boils down it each individual's need. So whats yours? Are you in need of someone being always on the other end of the phone line having every little single detail of ur life known to ur spouse or someone who wishes have have their private space and having more to talk about when u meet every other day?
Just wondering. - Nic
I've always believe in respecting individual space because I am one who needs a lot of that myself. I don't need my partner to be 24/7 be around me, neither do I need to validate our relationship through constant contact. I do not like being controlled so I do not do that to my partner as much as I can.
So... I guess I'm the latter. "someone who wishes have have their private space and having more to talk about when u meet every other day".
I think as long as I know my partner is committed to me and vice-versa, we do not have to physically be by each other's side everyday.

Ave's attempt to be Aunt Misery
I discovered this article while browsing the news today. Do read it when you have a time, I find it to be rather helpful (especially in times when communications breakdown) it assures you that what you're going through is normal and gives you very simple pointers.
http://shine.yahoo.com/love-sex/empathy-secret-sauce-happy-marriage-044200327.html
Well, the whole point of it is to have empathy for your partner. Simply put, put yourself in their shoes and treat the other with the same kindness and accommodate as you would like to be. It may sound easy but its actually much harder to achieve. We often make so many promises when we're happy and too many hurtful accusations and/or spiteful words when angry that we later wish we can take back. Emotions usually get the better of us.
Personally, I'll do the following when I'm upset with my partner,
#1. Confide in a trusted friend
#2. Keep calm and be logical
#3. Remain silent and learn to accept it
of course if all attempts to be understanding and accommodating fails, please talk about it with your significant other. If talking doesn't solve anything, either learn to live with it, turn a blind eye or just breakup.
Of course if you have a physically or emotionally abusive significant other, please break-up with him/her NOW. the CB blog or we ourselves will gladly ask you out (if you're based in Singapore) or talk to you and accompany you as you gradually move on. We're nice people deep down and we aren't cannibals. (: If you're not based in Singapore, still feel free to get us/me to listen and do whatever that'll help you feel better and leave the abusive jerk for good and forever. (:
Just feel free to talk to us, regardless of whatever. It need not be relationship problems.

Im gonna do mobile blogging with that as the title and post whatever im doing and what im thinking. I know its very random to do that but hey what are the chances of me seeing the clock and it being odd numbered? highly possible LOLOLOL.
Lets see how much random things i'll post. :| thats to show how bored i am. LOL

Being the least tech-savvy one in the group, I'll say that blogging on mobile is only if you have an iPad (like Nic). To be honest, blogging on mobile phone is quite annoying due to small screen and limited customizing and linking options.
Tech-unsavvy Ave being a caveman.
I did it with handphone okie?! LOL

L'Arc~en~Ciel — A post dedicated to fandom
simply from this video alone, you can tell how technically competent and charismatic this band is. Having attended their live concert at the Singapore indoor stadium, I must say that they are truly one of the most legendary bands in J-rock/J-pop history and I absolutely love the repertoire, staging, lighting, costume and the pure auditory sensation. Even the sound of him breathing is music.
I am thankful to have witness them live, but I miss Larc en Ciel.
Ave being a fangirl.
SO Thankful to Nic who got you and chuu tickets to the concert.
HEHE
Thank you very much oh-resourceful-Nic.
I recall my first impression of Hyde unclose was "God, he's so cute and pouty."
Still my favorite J-rock/pop male singer though.
fOrEvErLoViNgHyDe - Chuu.
P.S. I'm finally posting something on the blog eh! heeeeeeeee :3
You sounded like a retarted fan... chuu - nic

Life talk.
The three of us were on Skype when we spoked about investment, living expenses and quality of life. For those who don't know us personally, Nic and Kifa (aka Chuu) are 1989 babies and I'm born in 1990. SO basically at this age we're considered young adults but financially, I must say we're still really a far cry from adulthood. Chuu is a designer, so well, she has a stable monthly income doing a job she likes, but we all know one can never have too much money. Nic and I, well, we're undergrads and we're poor. Yes, big dreams of success and a comfortable life, but we are nowhere near being able to work our butts off for it with our current qualifications.
So, with a semi pessimistic outlook of earning the amount needed to fund the lifestyle I desire, I leave you with a very wise quote.
And I have a sudden and random craving for freshly baked herb bread. Ideally those Italian ones with oregano or sun dried tomatoes. Yummy!
Ave slacking off. (:
I like that quote.
Well I've recently heard another phrase going around. "Making a living.. Living".
Its almost shocking that many people, mug and hog their lives thru making ends meet by making a living, however never to live their lives the way they wanted. We're not some rich ass dude who not work, but we do have dreams that is awaiting to be met. Lets not get all caught up in making a living alright!
Nic, just ranting.
