Sleepless in CHIJMES

Good Beer and nice wings in Ice Cold Beer (Emerald Hill)

High High High at INSOMNIA.

Sure beats a 10km run.

Death Cab for Cutie -- I will follow you into the dark

Got me hooked hopelessly for at least a good 30mins.

I Will Follow You Into The Dark -- Death Cab for Cutie

Listen and watch the music here

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black
And I held my toungue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Oreo Cheese cupcakes

For 24 cups Oreo Cheesecupcakes

25 Oreo Biscuits
1.5 lbs (abt 680g) of Cream Cheese
1.5 lbs of Butter (unsalted)
100g sour cream
2 tsp of vanilla extract/flavour
3 large eggs
300g of sugar


1. Softened the cream cheese by microwaving for about 30s (hi heat)
2. Add Butter and mix it with the cream cheese till a smooth consistency is achieved
3. Add Sugar intermittently and continue to mix SLOWLY with the aid of an electric mixer.
4. Lightly beat the eggs add in the eggs slowly. Continue to mix at a low speed
5. Add sour cream and Vanilla extract.
6. Continue to beat at low speed till all the ingredients are homogenous mixed.

Lay paper muffin liners in a 4 x 3 muffin baking tray. Remove the sugar filling from the Oreo biscuit and place one Oreo biscuit in each cavity. The Oreo biscuit will act as the base for the Oreo cheese cup cakes. Remember to place the rough surface (the side with Oreo imprints) facing up so that the cream cheese mixture will have a better grip of the biscuit.

Break the remaining biscuits in big chunks. Add half into the mixture and lightly mix them (Avoid stiring too vigorously as the Oreo chunks might disintegrate).

Scoop the cream cheese mixture into the muffin trays. Fill each cup till 3/4 mark. Top each cup with some Oreo biscuit chunks.

Broken Bracelet Town

I should say nothing beats the "ORD" mood.

Had a superb lunch over the causeway, in this small town known as "Gelang Patah".

Food is okay. Magnum is good and cheap (cost 3RM instead of $2.40 in singapore)

Grocery shopping had been very fruitful. I thought the locals must have panicked seeing me buying tonnes of things as if I am preparing myself to run away from a tsunami that going to hit Gelang Patah.

Great company and Good Gum. Shiok!!!!

******************************************************************

I was told Gelang means BRACELET and PATAH means broken....

Thank you Sharon, Rui, HC, Michelle, Shirley for that embarrassing happy birthday song in Honda Jazz. I am truly moved. I shivered with embarrassment too. U guys have never failed making me uneasy and embarrassed these years

Thank you, LBK for the lunch treat. I appreciate that. Have fun in Shanghai!

Congratulations and Thank you FF for giving me the opportunity to have a star-studded birthday dinner. BTW FF, u look so elegant in that cheongsum. Most of us were caught jaw-dropped when u entered in the ballroom.

JC, Maylin, I have to admit that I have always enjoyed singing with you guys.

Sis, I have already said I dun wana to move in with u and Kenny. Thnx for making this as a birthday offer. I not stupid ok. Ha ha ha. You think after I moved in, you can dump Justin with me.

Wait Long Long.

I can occasionally dropped by to distract Justin but not senile enough to volunteer myself to Justin for good. Justin is too much for me to take. He is a lean mean screaming machine. Thanx but no thanx.

To all, thnx for remembering and those well wishes.

"Head bowed, Zidane walked past Domenech but did not look at him. As he exited into the tunnel, his head still bent to the ground, he strode past the golden World Cup trophy and disappeared." -- washington post .

Shocked to see him lose his cool and felt sorry to see him walking past the trophy eventually disappearing into the tunnel.

I wonder how did Materazzi releases the raging beast within Zidane. Perhaps Materazzi uttered KNNBCCB in french

Anyway this reminds me of an unfortunate episode about a year ago where my good friend and I lose our cool. I still cannot understand why and what makes us resort to such extreme acts of rage.

All is forgiven notwithstanding the haunting pains and lingering memories.

Lucky Baby

I am told by my boss that his newborn son brings him luck.

Later, I realise that my boss's newborn son brings me luck too. = ) Muah ha ha ha

It's a small small world

Friday Evening (07 July 06)

Time to wake up those lazy biceps of mine. Had an almost 2-hr-badminton game with my collegues. I love this game.

Had a nice dinner with my ex-collegues in "Villa Bali".

This place is a pretty decent place to chill out with friends. The ambience is saturated with Balinese, Javanese decor, and the unavoidable "Farangs". F & B are definitely overpriced. Though there are several huge industrial size fans spinning at every corner attempting to tame the sticky heat, my friends and I still feel warm and stuffy after a short 30 minutes stay.

My ex-collegues have never failed to entertain me with their stories. Later in the evening, I have found out that my ex-collegues knew my housemate Mr. Ang-Moh-Ala-Ba-Ba.

Small world.

Ran into a group of my collegues who coincidentally, are chilling out a few tables away from us.

Small Small world.
