NDP Song 2009: What Do You See

I see orh lulu only -.-

Have u guys watched the NDP song MTV for 2009? i think it appeals to teenagers la... those Coldplay kinda fans... the song is not bad but i don't quite like the emo MTV. it's dim dim one. what's with young people nowadays ha? they like dim dim everything one. that day in church we had service and the Youth Ministry led worship the whole hall also dim dim one... funny...

i was waiting for the part when the singapore night scene will light up and then got fireworks pom pom pom but boh leh -.- it's just this guy walking around singing... (i don't even know who he is la until i went to read the comments then realised he is part of some local band and the band wrote the song. k lor, sorry lor. i thought ha? who is this unknown? how come never use some famous local singer like JJ, stephanie, adu, huang yida etc.) ok towards the last part finally it's bright daylight. that's better.

don't know about you but i prefer the older songs, HOME being my favourite. the older songs are better for group singing. this song, like the previous kit chan one This Is Where I'd Rather Be, is more a solo song. and the older songs appeal to people of all ages. even my mum knows "Count On Me Singapore" (which is written by my church friend actually hahaha) except that sometimes she says "Count Money Singapore" LOL

Health Check

Here's a simple daily health check. click on it to enlarge... don't laugh K. Emperor Puyi had someone to specially EXAMINE his da pian everyday to check his health. it's that since u n i aren't royalty, we gotta check it ourselves lor.

Heaty >.<

wa, i feel so heaty >.< yes! you can FEEL heaty one...

some manifestations of "heatiness" are:
- sore throat
- mouth ulcers
- pimples
- urine not clear clear

i have THREE mouth ulcers... so pain >.< for ulcers, i think bonjela is totally useless. i prefer the chinese water melon powder or Oracort E which my doc prescribes. thing about ulcer medication is once you've applied it onto your ulcer, u don't really want to talk or move your mouth too much otherwise the medication will not stay in place... especially if you have one at each place where you need for your labial and alveolar sounds... you can't talk properly... if you have one on your lip, you can't do your b, p, f, v, m sounds well. if one on your tongue, you don't want to move tongue too much so your n, d, t, l, r, th sounds sound funny too... hahaha... after a while, you talk with purely h, k and g consonants LOL

chris: hi dear...
me: ah... i heew ho heaky... gok kwee aw-her... (ah... i feel so heaty... got three ulcers)
chris: er dear, i don't understand what you are saying... -.-|||
me: i haig, i hair kwee aw-her!!! (i said, i have three aw-her!!!)
chris: er... -.-???
me: ho hainhul!!! (so painful!!!) =(

k, but i rather have ulcers then pimples, ulcers pain only ma... at least won't ugly LOL

5 Star Snack

how fresh can fruit get?
when you pluck it from the tree of cos!

chris' aunt has a starfruit tree so we get supplies of starfruit when it's in harvest =) she will wrap them in plastic bags then my mum-in-law will go there and pluck pluck pluck and bring home bags of starfruit and they're so fresh, crunchy and juicy =) some of them are tiny which is great for us cos chris doesn't really like starfruit so i can eat one all by myself =) ah, starfruit combats heatiness so it's good =)

i cut them up (i like to cut into stars instead of strips cos it's prettier ^^) and put them in a tupperware so when i feel like having a snack, instead of reaching for that bag of chips, bar of choc or piece of cookie, can just eat a few slices of chilled juicy starfruit ^^

yum yum =D

i think she has jackfruit and guava trees too... i am waiting for the day she grows mango tree =)

last time my church friend had a mango tree which never beared fruit so he got so pek cek he went to scold the tree

friend: oei! if you still don't bear fruit ha! i chop you down ah!

then hor, the next year, really got mangoes neh! LOL

Aaawwww.... So Cute!!!

some nice studio shots i found on the internet ^^ so cute so cute!!! shooting animals is really difficult (i know because i try to paparazzi my pets all the time -.-)

the challenge is always: how do you get them to stay still?






cos sometimes they'd move and it becomes like this, the kitteh is a bit not sharp...


this one is quite ultimate... how do you ask the kitteh to "er, excuse me, can put your paw on the bunneh? give him a pat on the back... ah ah like that... ya ya correct... stay there ha... ah both look here, ya!" i guess it's just a lot of waiting then they suddenly do something cute =)


how do you tell the bunny on the left to raise left ear, bunny on the right to raise right ear ha? teach me leh...


props helps sometimes i guess


bunneh: er oei, gib me the cawwot.
puppeh: my mummy says cannot talk to strangers neh...

awww... you'd know when you click at the right moment =)


kitteh: eh... you trying to impersonate me isit?
bunneh: *act blur live longer*

outdoor shoot


kitty: eh... lie low, blend in then no one will find us
bunny: kk, i try hide behind this blade of grass... i love playing hide n seek ^^

chris will love this one at the bottom cos west n claire looked exactly like this when we first had them except they were black... aaawwwwww..... so cute so cute!!!

Slingbox

ok, a couple of people made enquiries about this so i have invited guest blogger chris aka my hushand to explain explain...

me: hi dear, so is sling player FREE?
chris: the slingplayer for pc and laptops is free. the slingbox is not. slingplayer for mobile phones is not
me: oh... what is slingbox???
chris: the slingbox is a device that can stream any video input to the internet. it allows you to watch your home tv, dvd, hdmi, appletv inputs from anywhere on the internet
me: ooo... so whatever channels on your TV, you can watch la. like channel 55 all that...?
chris: yes, provided your cable reciever is connected directly to the slingbox
me: so works by internet la? or wifi? eh... what's the diff?
chris: internet is the global network. wifi is your home network...
me: so when i watch on i-phone is it pay per min kind... like they charge for internet usage?
chris: that depends on what agreement you have with your telco. starhub is flat rate. singtel sucks.
me: er dear, no slamming pls... -.- so, how much is slingbox and go where to buy?
chris: about 170 usd. go to slingmedia.com to order online.
me: oh... from america one ah? 170 USD is incl delivery?
chris: dont think so but the delivery charge is not so expensive
me: some people may find it expensive. that time you said 150... i though SDG -.- thank you for your time. any other comments or feedback about the sling player/slingbox?
chris: you need a reasonably fast internet connection to enjoy it fully. forget it if you're kiam kanna
me: er dear!!! so un-PC... GAH... er ok, thanks for your time, bye -.-
