How much do you think you know that someone?

Ever really think deeply into that question? Do you really know that someone well, inside out? Or do you know this someone at all? Sometimes we thought we had this person so well, but slowly came to realise - How much do I not know about you? I was actually sitting down at one of the 24-hrs coffeeshop last night, sipping my tea-si-kosong with my brother 3 years my senior for the 1st time in my 24yrs! That was unbelievable, we actually chatted so much! Unlike many others, my family wasn't close to each other, esp with my dad. My dad is surviving on this yr'05 planet with a mind-set that is still stuck in 1950's - perhaps that's why we don't / can't communicate at all.

"VICEROY,Menthol" - my brother took out one cigarette from the box and lighted it. I never knew he smokes, or am I not being observant enough or that I didn't even think about him at all? It was from our conversation, his way of speech, how he carries himself that got me started thinking - now I truly know how 'close' and bonded we are as siblings. He was himself that night or I finally got to know him. I know he owns a food stall, but only got the address last night, and will be dropping by for free dinner some time =) I am amazed on how guys can drink so many cups of drinks/tea within 2 hours?? Well... at least 1 is enough for me.

My bf once asked me "dear, what exactly do we have in common?" I replied immediately "Yes, of cos we have.." and I paused. Started going through my brain, searching and grouping those common points we have or common things we like, etc. "NO RECORDS FOUND" I panicked - is it so? Next following day, I asked this good friend of mine the same question - "What do you and you bf have in common?" Guess what, she had the same thoughts as me *phew* Come to think about it, all couples definitely have something or at least few things in common... for my case - eventually quick-tempered (as though that can be counted as "common")! It's not all about having something in common but how you're going to make this relationship be bonded as one. Having someone you love by your side, one will tend to share activties/sports/type of food cruisine with each other, it will just come by.

So, just enjoy each day with your loved ones, sharing things you both like together. Trust me - love is about everything.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

It's my dearest's 26th birthday! Just wanna put a note to mark this day!!

WITH LOTS OF LOVE**

30yrs Membership to go round the world?? Will you want it?

You'll just need to pay USD99 for 7 nights accomodations (excluding air tickets) from any countries you choose from. The range is as wide as 4000+ worldwide states. It ensure you good services, good quality hotels/resorts/suites/villas (we're talking about those with private jacuzzi/pool) - Is this deal too good to be true?? Let me throw you an even better deal! SGD13,000 for 30yrs membership entitles you to a yearly holiday for 4pax, over 4000+ countries & states, suites to choose from, absolutely your call. Interested?? Please do let me know, and I can recommend you to this club!

I can't believe I actually sit in 2+ hours to listen to what the club can offer! OMG! Another clever, well-strategic marketing company out there with their fabulous business gimmicks!Should I use the word "scam"? I believe it would be if I had paid up and joined, but now going to reserve it. We were walking down towards HMV entrance when we noticed there's this young gal approaching us with a stack of "papers" on a hard support. I signalled her with a "no" (I was thinking - not another of this bo-liao questionaire / surveys), spare us. But she make her step towards us still, my bf is kind enough to take the pen from her and starts ticking off the survey. I was peeling off the 2 "lucky dip cards" given, 1 was nothing but the other 1 got the gal and the rest of her PT "colleagues" so excited, which left us in a daze, not knowing what's happening at ALL. Once she resumed back her calmness, she explained to us that we actually won the top prize (only 5 sets) - a FREE 7 nights accomodation stay @ 9 countries to choose from. We were least excited or interested at all (aiya, it's another of those gimmick), but it's the other part of me thinking, what if it's really true, and that Lady Luck finally shines on us?

We'll have to sit through a 80mins presentation before we're entitled to our winning voucher, and that gal will also earn $100 for herself. Well, we got the time, why not. (perhaps to give the "winning" a benefit of doubt) We followed the gal up, looking normally. She looked puzzled and asked "why aren't you two excited, thrilled at all? You both are so lucky to won the rare prize!?" Perhaps, I'll be feeling and asking the same if I were her age. 15yrs old, what can she know? Or how would she know not all things are as simple as how it look to be. We entered into a beautifully renovated reception office, there were other "us" sitting down too. I will give it a 8 / 10 for their exclusive brilliant marketing package way to attract strangers to be convinced. Nevertheless, we started our 80mins "talk" with this small built malay guy. Bet our not-interested facial expression gave us both away, he asked "hi, may I ask what do you both think about this travel club?" I replied without a single thought "Skeptical perhaps." He asked bluntly "about ? and now?"

"Ha, more or less confirmed.." - i replied. He was pissed with what I said, carried on with "maybe you might want to tell me more about what did you confirm??" My bf brushed his knee against me, got his signal (-it's enough) and I said "oh.. nothing" Anyway my bf did time the talk and wanted to leave at the 80mins, but he decided to stay till that guy finish his talk & explanation of the fantastic, too-good-to-be-true membership, when the guy pissed him off. He wanted him to feel the agony, frustration to have wasted 2hrs to have nothing in return. And HE DID! That guy LOST it totally. When we finally got up and left after their last attempt in throwing in a trial package for $2500 - 2 immediate FREE reservations 7 nights accomodation stay for 4pax for a validality of 3 years (i was tempted, too good a deal), he never even smiled nor bid goodbye. What a man...

C'mon, if there's such good deal under the sky, everyone will be grabbing for it! Too good to give it a miss, but come to think about it, no wonder they can have such nice offices, and they own 4 levels in UOB Building @ Orchard !! Unbelievable! Wonder when anyone falls for it? I bet.

Oh and guess what, it's our anniversary! Owe u this :

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, DEAREST =)
