A successful businessman aka entrepreneur (who happens to be a friend of mine) once told me, "Have you ever noticed that somehow, people who become successful seldom mix with their friends anymore? It's not that they have become arrogant or that they look down on their friends, it's just that they do not have much free time left to mingle around like they had before."
Okay, let me first define the term 'successful ' in MY DICTIONARY:
Successful: Having their own businesses and had already earned their first million (or are at least somewhere near) at a young age of 23 (which is MY PRESENT AGE) plus/minus.
Looking at friends around me, there are MORE THAN A FEW that fits the criteria of being 'successful'. Indeed, those successful friends of mine are no longer as close to me as before. But we still keep in contact, and if we do meet up, we're still as crazy as before.
Looking at them, and then looking back at myself, I really feel that I'm lagging far far behind. Its high time I start building on my career. I don't want to be stuck in a rat race forever. I want to earn a monthly income of at least $5,000 before I reach the age of 30. And that's like what? 7 years left for me to work on it? *cold sweat*
Okay, I guess I have to work towards getting my degree first. And LOOK!!!

TADA!! My very first step! I've tidied up all my notes!!!
Okay, now that I have done so, it's time to go watch TV liao!!!! WAHAHAHA!
Oh ya, before I go, here's an interesting picture...

My nephew joining in our mahjong session. So young can already see our Gambler's Family genes in him, very good!!!!
Ciao everyone!!!

I'm going to post up some Chinese New Year '06 photos...Long long long overdued...but still, here goes!!!
Preparation for the much-anticipated Reunion Dinner:
As you can see, my Mum and Dad were busy preparing for the sumptious meal while I'm 'busily' snapping away, making sure that every minute of these happy moments will go down my memory lane forever.
Take a look at my house's CNY decorations too!
See, my Brother is 'busily' doing nothing as usual...
Finally, our meal is ready!!!!
Looks like an imperial feast right? Yummy!!
Sorry...Don't have any pictures with myself in it coz I'm dressed in my pyjamas, wearing my specs and basically looking ugly. But fear not my fans (hahaha), I have taken pics of myself on the New Year Day itself!
1st Day of CNY (Chu Yi):
The Big Reunion at my Paternal Grandma's house!
Me and my 'Beautiful Skin' cousin...Celestine!!!
My dearest Grandma and I!!!!
After finishing the Reunion Lunch, a few of us had a small gambling session...BOOHOO! Lose $10+...
Then, we proceed to my Maternal Grandma's house!!!
My Brother and I!!! In my Dad's car, on our way to Grandma's (Maternal) house...
My feet were sore from walking in the heels...

And we finally reached my maternal Grandma's house!!!
First up, a shot of my Dad and I!!!!!
My Godmother (who's also my 2nd auntie), my Mum, my Grandpa and Grandma.
A picture of myself!
When everyone has arrived...
The 'Pretty Women' congregation!!!
See...Pretty Women like to chat while standing up...WAHAHAHA...
We also had a small gambling session there. Played til evening and everyone shifted to my house to have dinner (and the continuation of the gambling session).
As there were too many people having to squeeze into 3 cars to go to my house...
There is no choice but to place my nephew, Jay, in the boot of my Dad's car. HAHAHA!
At my house, we ate and gambled happily ever after...
End of Chu Yi.
2nd Day of CNY (Chu Er):
A picture with the pretty flowers and I'm ready to go!!!
And some artistic pictures...

My whole family then set off to my Godmother's house!!!
At her house: A picture with her 'dog'...=)

We sat down, had some drinks and set off together to my maternal Grandma's house before going to my cousin's house for another round of gambling session.
At my cousin's house, there's this super pretty poster!!! All of us were so excited and kept taking pics with it...
My whole family!!! *muacks*
My 1st auntie and I!!! Gong Xi Gong Xi!!

After our photo-taking session in this 'studio', we started gambling...until night falls...
End of Chu Er.
And on the 3rd day of CNY (Chu San), I just stayed at home playing mahjong...so no pics...
*Phew*, I've finally finished blogging about my Chinese New Year days. It's been like 1 month since CNY has passed...this pile of pics had been causing a photo jam (not traffic jam)!!! Now that I've blogged about it...I can finally upload it onto 'shutterfly' for my relatives to download...

You all might have noticed that there's a new link, My Fun Times! on my blog under the heading 'VISUAL ALBUMS'. That's the widely-anticipated website where I will load pictures up for my friends.
Isn't that exciting??!!! No more calling, nagging and even coming to my house to burn the photos into your disc!!! All you have to do is come to elyse-utopia.blogspot.com which serves as a one-stop multi-purpose website!!! Isn't that convenient??!!! I think I'm so damn smart man...*smirk*...hahaha.
Okay, seriously...I think the website really not bad, discovered it by chance. You all can try using it also, so that we can all share our photos!!! If you have 1, please let me know so that I can link it to my blogsite too. All feedbacks or complaints about the 'shutterfly' website are welcome.
p/s: I will be uploading photos from January 2006 onwards. There are some photos which I haven't done so, reason being I haven't blog about them yet. All events and photos will have to be blogged and posted onto my blog first before I will load them up onto the 'shutterfly' site. Sorry for any inconveniences caused.

One day, we were having a gathering at Zhiwei's house. All of us were present and we were having a good time. Sadly, I have to leave earlier because I have to work the next day. Being a very kind person, Zhiwei offered to send me down as it was already quite late.
The both of us were then walking along the corridor towards the lift when we started arguing. I got provoked and was furious. Seeing some concrete slabs just outside one of his neighbour's house, I picked one up and and hit his head with it. Where did the guts and strength come from, I really didn't know. I guess people do things which they normally don't when they're consumed by fury.
Zhiwei's head started bleeding. He fell down and I wasn't sure whether he was dead or just unconscious. From then on, my other self took over, the cold and cruel self I never knew existed. When I'm back to my usual self, I can't remember what happened. I just know that Zhiwei had been 'taken care of'. I was scared. Although I didn't know for sure whether he was dead or alive and where he was now, my intuition told me that he was dead. And I'm the MURDERER.
Zhiwei's photos and news of his disappearance were splashed all over the papers. The police were searching the whole of Singapore for him. It's like the Huang Na's case. It has got everyone's attention and his disappearance received lots of media coverage. I was so scared, so so scared. No words can describe that feeling. I finally understood how do murderers feel after the murder. It's like there's nothing you can do except to sit and wait for the police to come and arrest you one fine day.
My friends started to question me. They knew that after sending me down that night, Zhiwei never appeared again. I had to lie, there's no other choice. I didn't know what came over me that night too. The thing we were arguing about seems so trivial now. I only want to bring Zhiwei back. I told my friends that he didn't accompany me down, he only saw me to the lift, we exchanged our goodbyes and I went down myself and took a cab home. Wendy seems to be suspicious of me though. She asked me lots of questions.
I lost my appetite and couldn't sleep well after the 'incident'. It's been a week now and Zhiwei still has not been found. I couldn't stop thinking about him. My life is ruined now. I'd probably be sentenced to death.
I tried to sleep my days and nights away in order to stop myself from thinking more about it. But my Mum who knows nothing about it still wakes me up every morning, either for school or for work. It's the same today. She woke me up at 8.30am for work. It's really annoying and I just carried on sleeping because I don't wish to wake up and start thinking about Zhiwei again. However, my Mum keeps on giving me 'reminders' just like alarm clock does every 10 minutes. I've got no choice but to wake up, with the fear that I would finally be caught by the police today. I opened my eyes, blinked a few times trying to eliminate the dryness and rubbed it just like my nephew does when he wakes up. It was then that I realised something important. So important to me that I almost cried...
IT WAS JUST A DREAM.
Thank God Thank God THANK GOD! The dream was so real!!!!! What the hell made me dream of something like that???!!!! I think I'm really reading way too much thrillers already, I should read more romance instead. If one day I really have the impulse to kill someone, I'll definitely remember this dream and my courage will vanish as quickly as how a guy's erected penis turns soft during masturbation when his Mum suddenly enters the room. The dream is still so vividly etched in my mind!
I think I'm too stressed up for my coming exams already...sigh...btw, I haven't study yet...but I want to go watch Japanese Animation - MONSTER now! Hahahaha, another bian tai show about killing people. Maybe I'll dream about killing Meng-Ge or Wendy next! Til next time then, 'Sweet Dreams' everyone!
p/s: To Zhiwei: No offence okay? I don't know why it was YOU I killed in my dreams also, you're one of the least possible candidate on my Murder List loh!!! (Hahaha, as if I really have a Murder List) Friends Forever ya??!!! *MUACKS*

You see, I kissed you despite you having cream all over your face leh, gan dong right??? Errr...please pardon my 'at home' face though...haha

I was happily blogging and posting up my CNY pics since yesterday and I had intended to finish it by tonight. BUT, there was some really sickening things that I HAVE TO blog about thus interrupting my recollection of happy memories during the CNY period.
Scenario 1:
Today, I was on my way out and were sitting on a bus when I noticed (well, it's VERY HARD not to notice them) 2 f**king Xiaohaizis who were talking sooOOooOOooOOooOooo loudly. One of them was an Indian, the other one was a Chinese. Both were guys and they look like they were around 17 or 18. The following was their VERY LOUD conversation: (The focus is on the Chinese guy, so I'll not elaborate on what the Indian was talking about...)
Chinese: This kinda relationship thing huh....(blah blah blah)
Indian: ...
Chinese: Ya, I know. But relationships huh...f**king hell...(blah blah blah)
Indian: ...
Chinese: Personally, I mean personally, I really hate Sharon.
Indian: ...
Chinese: Ya, but I just don't like girls like...f**k la...(blah blah blah)
Indian: ...
Chinese: Girls huh...(blah blah blah)
Indian: Anyway, I think she really likes you. ( --> I'm not sure if he's refering to this Sharon girl or not though...)
Chinese: Okay, I mean if she likes me...what the f**k??!!!
From there on, I can't take it anymore. The fire in my heart is burning ferociously again.
Eh Xiaohaizi, especially YOU, the Chinese guy, can you all please don't talk to loudly on the bus or not? About relationships somemore, you think what, you're the modern Casanova ah??!! Not really handsome never mind, still try to let the whole bus think that you're VERY popular among girls. (Really can't tell loh...maybe ur just lying to make urself feel better or something) Like that never mind, still add so many of the f-word in your conversations. For what? Act cool ah??!!! Talk talk la, still must kek an accent meh?!! Try to act ang moh is it???!!! CHILDISH...
Scenario 2:
I was on my way home just now, just alighted from a bus and was waiting for the traffic lights to turn to my favour so that I can cross the road. There's 3 Xiaohaizis just next to the traffic light pole where we are suppose to press the gigantic button in order for the green man to light up so that we can cross the road. Because of the earlier incident, I already don't have a very good impression of these Xiaohaizis who think they're so matured and know everything they needed to. But never mind, I'll try not to be biased.
They were chatting while waiting for the green man to light up and there were a whole lot of other people (including me) waiting too. After a while, the traffic lights turn red for the cars and so, I was already preparing to cross the road when I noticed that after the lights turned red, it (almost) immediately turn green again signalling the cars to drive.
EH, WHAT THE HELL!!! OBVIOUSLY THE 3 XIAOHAIZIS STANDING BESIDE THE POLE WITH THE GIGANTIC BUTTON GOT NO COMMON SENSE TO PRESS IN ORDER FOR THE GREEN MAN TO LIGHT UP LOH!!!! DON'T THEY KNOW THAT ON MAIN AND BUSY ROADS LIKE THAT YOU'LL HAVE TO PRESS THE BUTTON IN ORDER FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS TO TURN RED AND FOR THE GREEN MAN TO LIGHT UP??!!!!!
Wah...angry leh. The 3 Xiaohaizis didn't notice at all leh, still talking among themselves loh, with the 'che*by*', 'la*jia*', 'knn' words flying around everywhere. WAH, I REALLY ANGRY LOH. But never mind, I wait and see if they will somehow realize their own stupidity and go and press the button. I keep staring at them and they didn't seem to notice me or anything else for that matter. They were in their own world of vulgarities. On seeing that the traffic lights are turning red again and they still had not pressed the button, I STOMPED over to the pole and pressed the button with the purpose of letting them realize their own foolishness. This time, they DID notice me (because of my stomping). GOOD. After that, the green man light up and I crossed without turning back my head to look at them. They are not worth my attention.
Seriously, Xiaohaizis nowdays really cannot make it loh. Don't they know that only adults above 21 years old are allowed to scold vulgarities (one of my rules)??!! At least I didn't scold any other than some mild ones (like ta-ma-de etc) before I become an adult loh! See how responsible I am???!!! Plus, they have absolutely no common sense whatsoever. What have they been learning in school??!!!!! VULGARITIES???!!! It's a good thing only ADULTS ABOVE 21 YEARS OLD will be entitled to get any bonuses or shares that the government gives us. Coz I don't think Xiaohaizis will know how to use them WISELY anyway.
So now, it's official that I have added Xiaohaizis-who-loves-to-scold-vulgarities-and-brag-about-themselves into my 'I-HATE-List'. Together with aunties-who-push-and-shove-in-MRTs, lovers-who-keep-hugging-each-other-in-clubs-and-f**king-block-my-way-to-the-dance-floor etc.
Okay, I need to calm down now, gotto go bathe then start reading my CF notes. Really really difficult loh!!!! OMG, the IRRs are so difficult to calculate...I skipped my LBO lesson again!!!!!! Sigh...

(Btw, I just finish watching Star Idol elimination and wah lau, that Lincoln must cry until like that or not? Like girl loh. Anyway, I like Jacqueline! She's very pretty and not like that 'act innocent' Alicia *pukes*. I'm not an avid fan of Star Idol though, just want to keep up the quality of my criticisms...haha...okay, back to Valentine's Day...)

Aren't the roses just sooOOooOo pretty??!!!
I got them from work! Louis Vuitton had this private event last Thurday where they launched a few of their new bags. And the company ordered 300 stalks of roses to be given out to their customers!!! Wah...LV really willing to spend huge sums of money on their customers loh. Heard that these are 'good' roses and that they cost a bomb, especially with Valentine's Day just around the corner. Anyway, I 'stole' 10 stalks after the event. WAHAHAHA! Free one mah, why don't want right?! *typical S'porean*
WAH! You all see...The roses are really really humongous loh. Really!!! Makes all the other roses I've seen in my life looks like pi-sai. (Sigh...LV is damn rich...)

I dislike people who are romantic. Or rather, I dislike being with someone romantic.
I think I'm born genetically UN-romantic. All the girls in my family are not at all romantic. Romantic gestures would cause me to become a temporary mute. I'll slink away in a corner, trying hard not to show the shudder of disgust. Well, not really disgust, but I just can't take mushy stuff. BRR...thinking of it makes my hair stand.
I hate guys who sweet-talk. By sweet-talk, I mean constantly saying '"I miss you", "I love you", "You will always be the prettiest girl in my heart" etc. *Hair stand* I think that these kinda things can only be felt by the heart and the more you say it, the more you don't mean it. You 're probably just saying it to make the girl happy (I'm not a stupid girl and won't be so easily fooled). A guy once told me, "I admit I'm sweet-talking, but I only sweet talk the truth." *Hair stand again* [Hey, you have already admitted that you're sweet-talking leh, so how would I know whether it's the truth or not?] I'd rather be with someone who seldom says it, but once he does, I'll know it comes from his heart.
I don't like receiving flowers. Most girls would be ecstatic if they receive flowers from their boyfriends, but I won't. I would tell him it's very wasteful to buy flowers and to never do that again. I'll also provide him with some alternative gift ideas like clothes, bags or jewelry. HAHA. Although flowers are very pretty, it'll wilt eventually. Why spend money to buy something that's gonna die very soon? It's so expensive somemore! I'd rather receive something practical, something I can really use in my everyday life.
If I eventually be with or marry someone who's a romantic, I won't know what to do!!! I can't imagine my boyfriend reminding me and buying me gifts for our MONTHLY anniversaries! OMG, please don't!!! It'll only give me stress. I don't want to buy gifts every month! It'll give me a huge headache and it's a waste of money! 1 month, 2 months, 3 months...these are not significant at all!! Some couples even remember their first-kiss-anniversary, first-sex-anniversary etc. OMG!!!! My head is in a whirl right now just thinking about how many dates I've got to remember!!! And if he's romantic, he will expect me to do something romantic back!!!! I can't!!!! I don't know how!!!! OMG! Okay I think I better stop here...the more I think, the more I think I'm going crazy thinking about it.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm really a girl. How come I'm so unlike other girls who love sweet gestures from their beaus? How come I love soccer? How come I swear? How come I get along better with guys than with gals? How come I don't have a close group of girlfriends, like normal girls do, whom I can go shopping with? (Btw, I prefer very much to shop alone)
But I still love myself!!!! And that is all that matters to me...
Have you ever look back at your past and wonder what it would be like if certain things had not happen? I think alot of us do.
In our teenage - late teenage years, I believe most of us would have this ONE relationship which we would never forget for the rest of our life.
1) It is usually NOT the first love. (although most people say first love is the most unforgettable...I don't think so myself...)
2) The relationship typically lasts for 2 - 7 years.
3) You thought that the other party is 'The One' and both of you will eventually get married.
But, only heaven knows why, this is the relationship that will NEVER work out. And you'll never ever have the exact same kind of feelings again. Is it because we're still young then and as we grow older, we learnt that there are alot more important things in this world other than love? Or is it because we have learnt our lesson after putting in so much effort in a failed relationship?
Looking back at the relationship, if we were able to change a few nitty-gritty details about it or if certain things had not happened, there's a high chance of ending up happily-ever-after. So why is there always SOMETHING that breaks it up? Why then are we brought up reading about fairytale endings in 'Cinderella', 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves', 'Sleeping Beauty' etc? Why are we brought up with illusions about the world?
When I was 16, a respectable grown-up said that one might not marry someone whom she loves most in her life. Recently, a doctor-to-be who's almost 10 years my senior, married and with a little girl, told me that Women actually doesn't need Men. Modern women can support themselves, juggle between the duties at work and at home, etc etc etc. Even giving birth to children can be done as long as there's a sperm from Men. So Men are only a sperm's worth. (HAHAHA)
So that's what the Grown-up World is like. Dreams we had as little girls are just dreams afterall.
Hmmm...I don't know what prompted me to blog about this. But I'm reading this fictional book called 'Sophie's World' by Jostein Gaarder. It's a part story, part history of philosophy book. Really interesting. Probably that caused me to think more about what and why some things are happening in this world. Here's an excerpt from the book which I really feel makes alot of sense:
One morning, Mom, Dad and little Thomas, aged two or three, are having breakfast in the kitchen. After a while, Mom gets up and goes over to the kitchen sink and Dad-yes, Dad-flies up and floats around under the ceiling while Thomas sits watching. What do you think Thomas says? Perhaps he points up at his father and says: "Daddy's flying!" Thomas will certainly be astonished, but then he very often is. Dad does so many strange things that this business of a little flight over the breakfast table makes no difference to him. Every day Dad shaves with a funny machine, sometimes he climbs onto the roof and turns the TV aerial-or else he sticks his head under the hood of the car and comes up black in the face.
Now it's Mom's turn. She hears what Thomas says and turns around abruptly. How do you think she reacts to the sight of Dad floating nonchalantly over the kitchen table?
She drops the jam jar on the floor and screams with fright. She may even need medical attention once Dad has returned respectably to his chair. Why do you think Thomas and his mother react so differently?
It all has to do with habit. Mom has learned that people cannot fly. Thomas has not. He still isn't certain what you can and cannot do in this world.
...
The world itself becomes a habit in no time at all. It seems as if in the process of growing up we lose the ability to wonder about the world. And in doing so, we lose something central-something philosophers try to restore. For somewhere inside ourselves, something tells us that life is a huge mystery. This is something we once experienced, long before we learned to think the thought.
