I hardly blog these days. Lack of time, no inspiration, pure laziness.

But today, I stumbled upon the video on Singapore's representative for Miss Universe and god she is stupid. Stupid and not that pretty. The picture of her on the Miss Universe website looks like a porn star, she can pass of as a ka-toi and her video interview shows how stupid she is.

Rachel Kum is her name - should change it to Rachel KUM-GONG.

If you have 3 wishes, what would they be.

1) My first wish is wishing happiness for myself.
2) My second wish is wishing happiness for all mankind. - Stupidity starting to show.
3) My third wish is wishing to have more wishes!

OMG, and she is a manager in the medical industry. HELP!

Where got ghost?

Hei and I went to watch "Where got ghost" on Friday night. Its a new local production by Jack Neo.

3 ghost stories with comedic elements in them. Well, it wasn't that good, or that funny plus the animation really sucked, but all in all, i thought the idea behind it was quite good. Its quite an enjoyable film.

This morning was Singapore Bay Run/Army Half Marathon. It was my worst yet, but attribute to a diarrorea that occured in my 3km mark - resulted in a 20 min bomb at the first toilet (2 km away). Lousy because at i started, i really thought i would do quite well this time.

Not disappointed with myself, but wonder what holds for me the next time i do this.

Anyway, this is my favourite trailer by far. You know how normally before a movie starts, you get the trailer that ask you to turn your phone to silent. This is a funny one.

Tell me what you think about this.

This evening, Hei and I went on a dinner date at Himawari. A Japanese restaurant that serve ala carte buffet - includes shabu shabu and sukiyaki. Yums.

Anyway. Sitting next to us a group of 9 adults and 1 toddler. When Hei and I arrive, there was only 1 lady sitting at the table and when asked how many people will be coming, she said "8 adults, all buffet".

Soon after, her group of friends arrived and I noticed there were 9 adults instead of the original 8 she mentioned.

Then i realised 2 of her friends brought their domestic helper and what I thought was rather appaling was that the domestic helper did not eat. She was just busy feeding the toddler.

So the woman was right, 8 adult buffet dinner.

In this scenario, would you have just invited the domestic helper to have dinner together? I would. Hei would too.

Granted that it was about $40 per person, but if you are to bring your domestic helper out, why would you make her sit there just to watch you eat?

That's just cruel.

The DeMercurio Family left last Saturday on the morning flight back to Melbourne.

Although it was not the first time that Lin left Singapore, she cried as she hugged us good bye. Chiing cried, Ah-Ma Wee cried.

But the most heart wrenching moment was for me to see tears rolling down A-Gong Wee's cheeks as well. This is a father who has sent 3 daughters away to study and for the first time, he can't bear to see someone off.

"You make A-Gong so happy" - thats a phrase I hear so often the last 2 weeks.

I was the heartless one. Devoid of all feelings.

I wonder should 1 day I have a child, would A-Gong Wee say the same to my son/daughter?

On the lovely Saturday afternoon after we came back from Hong Kong, the Wee Family welcome back the DeMercurio Family. Bruno, Teresa, Mark, Lin and of course, little lovely Aless. A fan club of about 11 people waited (some more impatient than others) at the arrival gate and when they finally walked out of the gate, A-Gong Wee couldn't help but lunge little Aless into his arms.

The moment was magical as we watched A-Gong Wee's eyes twinkle as he played with his BOY.

After 20 mins of hugging, "hi-s" and "how-are-you", I finally managed to come up with a plan and whisked everyone to the car.

However, in the midst of happiness, the Tay family received grim news. Senior Tay was in the hospital again for a fever that won't subside. It was serious this time. The following week was then spent shuttling between work, Chelsea and SGH.

The Tay family is amazing. For a family who don't share affection openly like the Wees, when it comes time to band together, they really band together. All the sibling respected what each had to say and their strength for each other really shows. Each also know his/her own role and how to carry their duties out.

Unfortunately on Friday, 1st August 2009, at 6.41am, Senior Tay couldn't hang on to life anymore and passed away.

Hei broke down.

And my heart ached.

Nonetheless, the Tays came together again, united as ONE. The funeral proceedings when through smoothly without a hitch.

One night as we laied in bed, Hei said something that got me thinking; "Isn't it weird how your family is celebrating life while mine is moaning for death?"

The Wees was throwing a party for A-Gong Wee's 60th, Aless's 2nd, Lin's 35 and Teresa (dunno).

That's life isn't it?
