The good, bad and the ugly....

2005-09-03T14:55:00.000+08:00

Everytime you come around

There's a bouquet for me

A corsage of promises

And I am pinned

Like a butterfly on a card

I'm naked and I'm scarred

And you're so perfect to me

Violent ties with hands like a steeple

Tell me lies with a tongue like a needle

I let the words shot down my throat

A face like an iron fist

That I can never resist

I learn the ...

Words of wisdom from your tyrant mouth

I'm stuck just like a pig

Roasting in your eyes

I'll believe anything that you want

You gotta teach me how to live

Cause you make me wanna die

You took it all, now you're all I've got

~ Sillie ~

"An Honest Mistake"

2005-09-03T14:45:00.000+08:00

People

They don't mean a thing to you

They move right through you

Just like your breath

But sometimes

I still think of you

And I just wanted to

Just wanted you to know

My old friend...

I swear I never meant for this

I never meant...

Don't look at me that way

It was an honest mistake

Don't look at me that way

It was an honest mistake

An honest mistake

Sometimes

I forget I'm still awake

I fuck up and say these things out loud

~ Sillie ~

Finally watched the movie i was drooling abt...CHARLIE & The CHOCOLATE FACTORY! and i manage to get my hands on a copy of the book. Went to Popular bookstore yesterdae and couldnt find a single copy of the book. I manage to finish readin the book before watching the movie. Thus was able to spot the differences between the movie and the book.

Some of the differences:

Characters, in the book, the children were accompanied by both parents and each child character wasnt given much background.
Elevator,it was suppose to have ropes for the passengers to hold on,but not shown in movie.
Mike had toy guns hanging all o'er him.
Willy Wonka nvr visited his dad
Haircut session
Willy Wonka's goatie
How Charlie found the golden tix

Despite the differences, the movie was still enjoyable and very funny. The Oompa Loompas were a bunch of "drama-mamas"..Alot of song and dancing. Even my fren who was "forced" to accompany mi to this "childish" movie (as he wld call it) was laffing thoroughout the movie!

The "definition" of whipped cream was so funny, whipped cream cant be called "whipped cream" if the cows aint whipped...

Walkin Awae...

2005-07-31T23:40:00.000+08:00

To a very special someone...who shares a very special jazz song with mi...

The same old streets just a different name

Same old house just the family's changed

Pickett fence

The window stains

Freedom spells by a man in chains

Silence is all we have to give

And the memories of a life I wish we'd lived

Hey, remember me

I remember you walking away

Hey, remember me

I remember you walking away

From all that you made

That you lost

Or threw away

Traded in for a brand new life

But I can't

Can't let go

Can't turn around

Hold my head high and walk away

Hey, remember me

I remember you walking away

Hey, remember me

I remember you walking away

PANTS TREND...

2005-07-10T14:24:00.000+08:00

When SpongeBob Square Pants became a hit, its unexpected that DarthVader too have HIGH UNDERPANTS!

11.07.2005, finally laid hands on the much awaited toy..DARTHVADER Medicom...this toy cost a whoopin $280 and required pre-orders a few months back! The hype for this toy was probably due to the toy would be made by a Japanese company. Japanese toymaking companies are known for how detailed their toys are n the articulation. Its a 12" figure, boxed in a real cool looking matt black box. DarthVader is clothe in REAL cloth cloak(The cloak has underwires just like a bra to allow different pose) and clothes, rubbery boots, different positions detachable hands, shiny helmet, detachable belt/underpants and complete with lightsaber. Sounds good so far rite...Its like playing with barbie dolls all over again..

BUT HERE COMES THE BAD PART ...The removable shiny helmet, doesnt quite fit snuggly on the head of Anakin and often cause a prob..the helmet slips of easily and exposes wats left of Anakin's head..Also, the arms, when bent to pose would expose the arms as the "sleeves" were too short!! (so much for details and articulation)..if you tink dats bad already, read tis, NOw for the grand finale, the HIGH UNDIES for the MAN of the saga! HOw can my favourite character be spotting a high underpants which is not even placed at the right place. Though this is old skool stuff, but making the Man of the Sage looking like Urkele is wae too much!

Spent an hour tryin to pose DarthV, to a position which could cover up his high undies and "short sleeves"...!!

When i said " its like playing with barbie dolls all o'er again"...i not onli meant, playing with dolls, but maybe in the future, i may find undies ("each sold separately") on sale in all good departmental stores (just like the barbie doll clothes) ..Hopefully G.L notices the error and ask for a recall for the figure..

So far in the series, there are Boba Fett, Luke Skywalker (the best so far), DarthVader and Stormtrooper..Though i'm disappointed..But i'm still looking forward to the Stormtrooper Medicom nxt week... : D

Song of the moment....Side

2005-07-01T23:33:00.000+08:00

Well I believe there's someone watching over you
They're watching every single thing you say
And when you die they'll set you down and take you through
You'll realise one day that

The grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbours got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong
There is no right
The circle only has one side
We all try hard to live our lives in harmony
For fear of falling swiftly overboard
But life is both a major and a minor key
Just open up the chord

But the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbours got a new car that you wanna drive
And when time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky
We all will liveWe all will die
There is no wrong
There is no right
The circle only has one side

For Sillie...

The dawn is breaking

A light shining through

You're barely waking

And I'm tangled up in you

Yeah

I'm open, you're closed

Where I follow, you'll go

I worry I won't see your face

Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find

You and I collide

I'm quiet you know

You make a first impression

I've found I'm scared to know

I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the stars refuse to shine

Out of the back you fall in time

I somehow find

You and I collide

My little escape from urbanisation...

2005-05-29T18:35:00.000+08:00

Pulau Ubin, an island whereby i can escape from the hustle n bustle of citylife and how this l'il island became part of me started from my granddad.

In 1907 in a province in China, a baby boy was born and in those times, families were poor and large, often had insufficient to eat, living conditions were bad. Thus "forcing" many people wanting to come(guo fan) to Singapore in search of new opportunities and jobs.In his early teens(14+) and with pigtail,my granddad's made his way to Spore.His journey to Singapore(at that time was known as Nanyang) was a long and arduous journey n the only mode of transport was by sea.Tonnes of pple were packed into the basement of a ship,livin conditions were bad and many couldnt survive the journey.Those who died would have been thrown overboard.
Not long after he arrived in spore,it was the japanese occupation, he then escaped to Pulau Ubin..and from then on,he's been stayin at Pulau Ubin til now!

Pulau Ubin has evolved so much in the past 22 years...the jetty, the residents, the way of life...In the past,my granddad only operates a provision shop but now,not only do we've a provision shop (the only shop that sells ice cream), we've a seafood restaurant and a drink stall too!
On the island,there werent used to be so many bicycle rental shops and everything was to be in CASH terms,now we have NETS available on the island!
One of the things dat didnt change, there's no power supply/gas supply/water supply like wat we've on mainland Spore,all the elect is from generators, water from wells and gas from cylinders.So there are absolutely no utility BILLS to pay!
There used to be more residents on the island,but alot of 'em had moved out (urbanisation) due to convenience of the mainland. Another culture which still remained is the Chinese Wayang which is performed on important dates such as Vesak Day,it was considered a grand event on the little island.

Peps reading this,if u've not visited this great island, PLS DO SO ASAP and dun forget to drop by this place for some drinks and food!

2 FAVORITES COmBo..

2005-05-02T01:04:00.000+08:00

Day 1(30.04.2005) : Start of M&Ms and STARWARS Carnival organized by Cathay...A fren was "invited" to "operate" a stall for sale of STARWARS stuff. Its was an extremely hot n humid afternoon...i arrived at Orchard Cineleisure to join my frens in this event, in hope to find some M&Ms collectibles..To my dismay, there's no M&Ms collectibles ard,onli 2 stalls of starwars stuff. This event was to be held from 30.04.2005 to 01.05.2005 from 2pm til 10pm. So i juz cont'd to hang ard the stall til closin. Ard 4pm, there was a big commotion and i caught sight of a CloneTrooper! and followed by another Clone Trooper, 2 Imperial Guards and my fav. Darthie (Darth Vader)!! They came for a photo session($5/pic). I reallie pity the fellas behind the costumes, cant imagine how hot n icky they feel under all those thick robes and air-inhibitin masks. Esp Darthie..Later in the evenin,a few familiar faces appeared, Bosco n Joy, and my fav. cousin, kev n his gf, and Wendy's bro...

Finally, it was 9pm...and we were given the Greenlite to pack up for the nite! The nite ended with a few games and a special dance performance from the Uncle who was last seen dancing away to techno songs @ Tampines Pasar Malam. Boy was he a gd dancer for his age! Feelin tired and icky, we settled our dinner @Cineleisure and head straight home..Thankz to wonderful cooperation of the skilful driver and co-driver(mi), despite of the CTE jam, i managed to reach home in time for my weekly dose of korean drama(Lovers in Paris).

Day 2 (01.05.2005) :Went down to the stall @5.30pm wif Tutu, drizzlin slightly..but it still make much of a diff to the humid weather!..Sales was much betta todae,cleared almost all those which are for sale. Todae, was a more eventful dae for mi...i went on stage n posed for a pic wif the entire gang STARWARS! (this was after a strong persuassion n sponsered by my fren). Luckily the pic turned out nicely, if not i did demand for a RESHOT!My fren earlier on, had his pic taken, sparring wif a Clone Trooper, which he was so proud of coz he brought his prized collection of his LightSabre for this purpose and he nearly brought his Boba Fett helmet! (I heard one of my fren wore the Bobe Fett helmet while vacumin his house!and his wife watched in dismay) These men can be such kids when it cums to STARWARS toys... (0_0").

The event ended with slight drizzlin n Dan n gf came too...

FIDELITY

Defined as Faithfulness to obligations, duties, or observances. The quality or state of being faithful or loyal; especially : loyalty to one's spouse in refraining from adultery and sometimes in submitting to a spouse's reasonable sexual desires.

Fidelity implies the unfailing fulfillment of one's duties and obligations and strict adherence to vows or promises: fidelity to one's spouse.

Welcum to the DARK SIDE....

After a "SERIES of unfortunate events" happening... i've decided to file a missing report for a dear fren, FIDELITY. But there's a new guy in town, called FLING. Seems like the "wat seemed to be goodie-two-shoes" guys n gals alike, are ALL for tis new toyboy, F-L-I-N-G. All these guys n gals are ALL attached(relationship duration doesnt matter here coz, i've encountered cases from married with kids to onli being together to a few mths), yet they go around in quest for a toy boy/gal. Almost every other person i know is, sadly, like dat..everyone has a deep dark secret which points to UNFAITHFULNESS...

Guess tis is the key answer to high divorce rates nowadays... : (

FLING
Defined as a brief sexual or romantic relationship.

Extra Marital Affair (affectionally known as EMA)

NO names or "stories" will be quoted for tis to protect the relationships from fallin apart...

2005-04-28T14:14:00.000+08:00

Another one of my favourite classic TV series...Also in Black & White..

First Aired: October 1951
Last Aired: May 1957

The I Love Lucy Story:
Cuban-born bandleader Ricky Ricardo, and his wife, Lucy, live in a Brownstone apartment building on East 68th Street in New York City. The beautiful but daffy Lucy has the nasty habit of getting into jams, scrapes, and predicaments of all kinds. The Ricardos' best friends and landlords, Fred and Ethel Mertz, frequently find themselves in the middle of Lucy's outlandish escapades, whether she's plotting to land a part in her husband's nightclub act, determined to write her first novel, or concocting yet another sure-fire "get-rich-quick" scheme.
After Lucy gives birth to their only child, Little Ricky, Ricky achieves great success as an entertainer. Ricky is asked to go to Hollywood to star in his first motion picture. Together, the Ricardos and the Mertzes drive to California for Ricky's big break. Along the way, they are held at gunpoint when they try to flee a rundown motel, square-dance their way out of a Tennessee jail, and put on a benefit show for Ethel's hometown friends in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Once in Hollywood, star-struck Lucy spills a tray of desserts on William Holden, gets trapped in John Wayne's dressing room, and wrestles with with a dog guarding Richard Widmark's estate. By the time Ricky has finished his movie, Lucy has developed quite a reputation, and all of Hollywood is relieved to learn that the redheaded dynamo is on her way home.
Shortly after the Ricardos return home to New York, the Ricky Ricardo Orchestra is booked for an extensive European tour, and Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel soon find themselves visiting England, France, Switzerland and Italy, where Lucy ends up barefoot in a vat - stomping grapes in a small vineyard. Back in the States, Lucy and Ricky decide to move to the country so that Little Ricky can enjoy the benefits of "clean, fresh, air and homegrown foods." The Ricardos break the news to Fred and Ethel and buy a home in Westport, Connecticut. But the Ricardos and Mertzes can't stay apart for long, and soon Fred and Ethel relocate to Westport, renting the Ricardos' guest house. With the Mertzes close by, Lucy grows tulips that melt in the sun, learns all about how NOT to raise chickens, battles with a runaway lawn mower, and experiences many other joys that country life has to offer.

"Elizabeth Montgomery in...Bewitched"

2005-04-28T13:41:00.000+08:00

One of my favourite classic TV shows...haf been watchin tis since secondary school days and until now on HALLMARk Channel 17...If i didnt recall wrongly, on Channel 5, it was still showing the black and white ones with the fat darrin (Dick York) and now in technicolor, the skinny darrin (Dick Sargent).

A little history:

First Telecast: September 17, 1964

Last Telecast: July 1, 1972

Bewitched aired ABC Saturday mornings from 1971-73, generally color episodes themed around Tabitha.

Bewitched aired ABC weekday mornings 1968-1973, usually in color. Thereafter, syndication.

Bewitched was a sophisticated ensemble situation comedy (considered light and fluffy by some) featuring relevant cultural themes in a fantasy context. Well written and superbly performed, the show has run continuously for 40 years and proven to be timeless. Producer/ Director William Asher (I Love Lucy, Make Room for Daddy, Our Miss Brooks, Gidget, Alice), wisely created a show that focused more on character development than the occult. While the endless sight gags and breezy writing enhanced the shows appeal, it was the well -drawn characters and sublime comedic performances that made Bewitched a classic!

At the very center of this classic show was Elizabeth Montgomery's portrayal of a beautiful, good-hearted witch named Samantha, a character rare in 1960's television. A strong, independent woman with the world at her finger tips--or a twitch of her nose. Samantha was a clever role reversal of the women's rights movement. Her rebellion so strong, she disregards the wishes and ultimatums of her arrogant family and the terrifying Witches Council. Quite simply, Samantha enjoyed being a homemaker and raising a family, and had the strength of character to live her life on her own terms. Equally determined was her mortal husband Darrin Stephens, a talented advertising executive with McMann & Tate. He obsessed with leading a normal, conservative lifestyle, and fearless enough to stand firm against the most powerful witch or warlock.

The struggle would begin when Darrin and Samantha met, fell in love, and married during the first episode. Disapproving of mixed marriages between mortals and witches, Samantha's powerful mother, Endora, was determined to prove to Samantha that the marriage was a tremendous mistake. Endora would determine Samantha was steadfast, and directed of her attention toward making Darrin (Dick York) miserable. Over the shows 8 year run, Endora tried numerous spells, all creating humiliation and chaos in Darrin's mortal world, not to mention Darrin's new found paranoia. Darrin was in love, and continued to stand firm that he and Sam would have a normal, loving marriage.

This was not to be, however, as made apparent by the many trials and tribulations of being married to a witch. Samantha made her best attempt to tone down any witchcraft, but with constant visits from her family, it was all in vain. And what a family it was! Besides the meddling, indefatigable Endora, the tv show featured an ensemble of eccentric witches and warlocks. Samantha's favorite aunt, Clara, was a lovable, bumbling witch. Due to Aunt Clara's extended age (possibly 1000 years old), she was suffering the loss of her powers and, hence, inadvertently wreaking havoc at the Stephens home. How does a mortal explain a polka dotted elephant in his living room, or Ben Franklin being summoned to repair an electric lamp? In addition to Aunt Clara, Sam's practical joking Uncle Arthur, and Shakespeare orating father, Maurice, dropped in from time to time. Elizabeth Montgomery also portrayed Samantha's chameleon, free-spirited, mischievous cousin Serena, herself often indulging in the mortal world of sex and rock & roll.

On the mortal receiving end of the seemingly hallucinogenic world of witches were the neighbors Gladys and Abner Kravitz. Gladys, first brilliantly portrayed by Alice Pearce, was immediately aware that the Stephens household was positively strange, and was certain that something "beyond this world" was at work across the street. Darrin's mother, Mrs. Stephens, faired no better, as she was forever on the receiving end of a "sick headache. Another primary character was Larry Tate, Darrin's boss, who exemplified the "anything for a buck" American mentality."

"Yes, for the first time in sunny Singapore, there is snow ! Right on our very own doorstep.
At Snow City, you can ski, snowboard or snow tube your way down a snow-covered slope. Enjoy snowball fights and learn about life in colder climates.
Or just walk about, touch and play with ‘real snow’ created with the help of specially-designed snow guns. So, don’t get left out in the cold. Step into Snow City today! "

Doesn't it seem enticing to juz go and experience, armed wid nothin, only 2 admission tix, i went there...
When we were there, the jackets and boots were provided for us as it was our first visit, and boy does these jackets need to be sent to the laundromat!..Without knowing how cold the temp wld be inside, we decided to give the gloves a miss!...Big mistake, coz at the end of it, we both ended up frostbites on our hands....
But i've gotta sae tis, the best part was sliding down the 60-metre-long and 14° slope extends the entire length of the building, with the gradient sloping from ground level to almost 3 storeys high at the top. Its called 'snowtubing', where we were to sit on an inflatable snow tube and slide down the snow slope.
So basically, dat was it and after a few repeated times of the same action, we were getting bored and frostbitten, it was time to get outta this place..*Brrrr...*

Sillie Song of the Moment... "Going Crazy"

2005-04-28T12:09:00.000+08:00

Ever since the day you went away and left me lonely and cold

My life just hasn't been the same ohh baby, nooo

When I looked into your eyes the moment that I let you goI

just broke down (down)

Baby if I ever get the chance to be with you again I would sacrifice

Cuz the feeling that I feel within

No other man would ever make me feel so right

Its nice to smile when I get your phone call at night

But I'd rather have you here with me, right next to me

I miss the way you hold me tight

I gotta let you know I feel so weak without your touch

I never thought that I could ever love a man so much

I gotta let you know I think that we are destiny

For you I'd cross the world, for you I'd do anything

Thats right baby I'm going crazy

I need to be your lady

I've been thinking lately

That you and me, yes we can make it

Just ride with me, roll with me

I'm in love with you baby

Break it down now I'll tell you what I feel

From the moment that I met you its been so damn real

My heart seems to skip another beat

Every time we speak, I can't believe I feel so weak

Tell me that you really need me and you want me and you miss me

And you love me I'm your lady

I'll be around waiting for you I'll put it down be the woman for you

I'm falling so deep for you crazy over for you

I`m calling, calling out to you what am I going to do?

It's true, no fronting

Its you and no other i can no longer go on without you

I'll just break down (down)

I gotta let you know I feel so weak without your touch

I never thought that I could ever love a man so much

I gotta let you know I think that we are destiny

For you I'd cross the world, for you I'd do anything

Thats right baby I'm going crazyI need to be your lady

I've been thinking lately

That you and me, yes we can make it

Just ride with me, roll with me I'm in love with you baby

"Drinks, ice creams a boom as soaring temperatures hit Spore "

@fter being "hunning" around in SP since June 2002, been there, done dat for almost everytin in the little unit...a change of job seems to be the onli ting which wld add to my portfolio... this may juz be it...

"If you have been feeling hotter under the collar than usual, this is because the temperature has shot up to as high as 35 degree Celsius. That happened on Monday - a record so far this year - just slightly lower than last April's high of 35.1 degrees Celsius. Daily highs have been averaging 34 degrees - it was 34.6 degrees at 2pm on Wednesday. The haze may have dissipated for now, but taking its place is blazing heat.....which is especially unbearable at noon time, forcing Singaporeans to flee into airconditioned buildings or use their umbrellas. So what are Singaporeans doing to keep their cool? "Cold drink because the weather is hot, so I feel cool after this drink." "Drink more water, bathe twice a day." "Try to stay in aircon room at night, can't help it." "Having two to three showers a day, especially for the kids, myself, get a lot of water." The heat may be getting to some Singaporeans more than others, but there's one group of people who will actually welcome the rising temperatures. One drink stallholder said: "With the hot weather business is good because people are buying more drinks." An ice cream seller said: "The hotter the weather the better it is for us. With warm weather, people will eat ice cream, and it'll cool them down." The inter-monsoon season is expected to last till the end of May, but the weatherman adds that showers early next month might bring some relief. The lowest temperature recorded on Wednesday is 27.7 degrees at 8am. The National Environment Agency said relative cloud-free condition and light winds in the region contributed to the warm weather. They said warm weather can be expected in the next few days."

9,300 executives take part in annual JP Morgan Chase race

"More than 9,300 executives took part in the annual JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge. The number of participants beat last year's turnout by a big margin.
Members of the business community discarded their shirts and ties for T-shirts and shorts to run the 5.6-kilometre road race. It was flagged off at the Esplanade Drive by Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, the Minister for Community, Youth and Sports. The route covered in the race included Republic Avenue, Republic Boulevard and Marina Promenade. It ended at The Padang along Connaught Drive. The event is seen as a platform to promote fitness and well-being in the workplace. It allows participants to compete with their colleagues in a relaxed and social atmosphere. The largest contingent of 473 came from PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Gurkha DI Penbragurung was the first to cross the line in 18 minutes 46 seconds. The whole race was completed in an hour."

2005-04-27T13:48:00.000+08:00

I walk this empty street

On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Where the city sleeps

And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

'Til then I walk alone...

Des Amoureux à Paris (Romance in Paris)

Variations of drama name:Romance in Paris (title used by KBFD-TV)

Des Amoureux a Paris (title in French)

Lovers in Paris (literal translation of title)

Synopsis:

Tae-young (Kim Jung-eun) who used to help her father manage a small, run-down theater in the outskirts of Seoul, decides to leave for Paris to study after her father passes away. Although Tae-young makes it to Paris, she finds that she cannot afford to even pay her rent unless she works part-time. One day, she gets a job as a cleaning lady at a beautiful mansion-style apartment.

Ki-ju (Park Shin-yang) was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. As the son of a multi-millionaire, Ki-ju is a bright and sophisticated gentleman with a good sense of humor. Ki-ju has only one fear in life: love. In the past, he went through a loveless marriage arranged by his parents that ultimately led to a divorce. Despite these factors, Ki-ju soon finds himself helplessly falling for the unsophisticated, yet genuine charm of Tae-young.

Sillie's Quote of the D@e...

2005-04-15T15:46:00.000+08:00

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.

"An ideal type is formed by the one-sided accentuation of one or more points of view and by the synthesis of a great many diffuse, discrete, more or less present and occasionally absent concrete individual phenomena, which are arranged according to those one-sidedly emphasized viewpoints into a unified anlaytical construct."

All of king's horses and All of king's men,

Couldn't pull my heart back together again,

All of the physicians and mathematicians too,

Failed to stop my heart from breakin in two.

Everyday in everyway i'm falling,

Now you're gone, i'm cold.

I'm told, like a snowman melting.

_________________________________________________________

The on and off white lines appearing throughout the movie...the innocent lines of the characters..and the non-violent scenes...Brings back the memories of the cartoons of my time..
Totally unlike wats showing nowadays...Violent scenes, gory, gruesome, hateful, evil and most yucky of all...they're ALL computer animation..NO longer "HAND-MADE"...gone are the days of the flip book and the pencil sketches...Whereby every single stroke is hardwork...

In G.I.Joe the Movie, the lines of the characters were so innocent:

"Hello! Hello! Hello! Adios! Adios! Adios! "

"I hope you both get fleas !!"

"They're gonna scrape you off the wall with a squeegie. "

"Cobra ! La! La! La!... "

The movie begins with a strange eye emerges from the water, watching Cobra. Inside the Cobra base, Serpentor starts a rant about Cobra Commander's incompetence, only to be interrupted when a strange figure appears out of the water and attacks the base. Trapping Serpentor alone, the intruder, Pythona, instructs Serpentor about the Broadcast Energy Transmitter(BET).

The GI Joes are guarding the BET, a device that will supply the planet's energy needs, in the Alps when Cobra attacks. Duke manages to reach the BET, turning on all of the Joes weapons against Cobra. CC calls retreat, even though Duke has captured Serpentor, and Cobra fleas into the mountains, with Roadblock's unit following right behind.

Cobra Commander leads them further into the snowy mountain, until they find a bizarre looking cavern, Cobra La. The Joes follow, and are attacked by Cobra LA Guards, Nemesis Enforcer, & Pythona. They quickly defeat the Joes, and take over command of the Cobra forces, instructing them to steal the BET and free Serpentor.

The Joes are now undermanned, missing Roadblock's unit, and having to guard both the BET & Serpentor. Still, Hawk sends Flint, Lifeline, & Iceberg to find Roadblock, and orders Beachhead to speed up the training of the Joes' new recruits, the Rawhides. The five recruits, save the "Gold Plated Goof-off," Lt. Falcon, are put to the test by Beachhead. Despite their quarks, they all pass, frustrating Beachhead. Meanwhile, Falcon is showing off the base to a young lady. He's confronted by Duke, who sends the girl away, confiscating her camera. Unfortunately, Duke puts Falcon on guard duty. Falcon's girlfriend, Heather, turns out to be Zarana, who has recorded enough information from her 'tour' for Cobra to attack the Joe base and try to free Serpentor......

Seeing is Believing..So try to catch this Movie if you can...Haf Fun! : )

But there's still tomorrow

Forget the sorrow

And I can be on the last train home

Watch it pass the day

As it fades away

No more time to care

No more time, today

But we sing

If we're going nowhere

Yeah we sing

If it's not enough

And we sing

Sing without a reason

To ever fall in love

But we sing if we're going nowhere

Yeah we sing if it's not enough

And we sing

Sing without a reason to ever fall in love

But we sing

If we're going no where

Yeah we sing

If it's not enough

And we sing

Sing with out a reason to never fall in love

To never fall in love again

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Hundreds of Star Wars fans snap up collectibles at midnite sale !!

"Hundreds of eager shoppers turned up at United Square just before midnight on April Fools Dae, to get their hands on the new batch of movie collectibles from the latest Star Wars movie. Some fans were rewarded for their patience after standing in line for more than 10 hours.
The action figures are probably the most eagerly anticipated collectibles for any Star Wars fan. With the soon-to-be released movie, Revenge of the Sith, which is also the last instalment of the Star Wars saga, it is easy to understand why these are so sought after. And fans started queueing at 2 pm on Friday, just to be the first to get their hands on them. "

Although i didn't buy any toy collectibles at the sale, but the experience was pretty enjoyable and memorable. The sale ended off well, this group of same interest peps not only did not display "kiasu-ism" but ended up exchanging contacts..It was a nite of gathering and socialising.

@10.30pm: Arrived at United Sq, the queue was already packed with more than 100 fans. Which inturn means "Bye bye to the LIMITED EDITION YODA..for the 1st 50 customers who spend $100 on hasbro toys"..Saw a few familiar faces who were also there to join the fun.

@11.00pm: Fans in the queue was counting down the minutes till the stroke of 12 midnite!

@11.20pm: An unexpected surprise was in store, Darth Vader(s), Imperial Guard, Storm Troopers n Jedi showed up for a little picture session.

@11.30pm: Finally some commotion going on in the sealed up area where the sale is to be...All the toys for sale which were all covered up in black plastic are FINALLY seeing some light...As more and more toys were being revealed..the FANS who were previously seated restlessly, stood up with excitment! Everyone was already planning their route around those toys..

@11.45pm: Little Darth-ies started to appear and inspect the toys...And the group of "V.I.Ps" got the FIRST go at the TOYS!!! and of the media get to snap pics...

@12.00AM: FINALLY!!The only person from "Toys 'r' Us" wearin a green polo tee, took a pair of scissors and initated the START of the BATTLE. The first guy in Queue, armed with his number card n shopping bag, entered the Sale Arena and started on his conquest..But boy was he nervous...or the toys simply do not wanna go home wif him.The toys which he was desperately tryin to put into his shoppin bag, kept falling out and time was wasted while he picked 'em up again n again..

@12.10am..I've finally set foot into the sale arena! My,everyone was practically grabbing everyting in sight! Managed to make my wae to the item i considered "worthy of purchase", but there were NO more left!!

To induce her to look up he pretended to be going away, and when this failed he sat on the end of the bed and tapped her gently with his foot. "Wendy," he said, "don't withdraw. I can't help crowing, Wendy, when I'm pleased with myself." Still she would not look up, though she was listening eagerly. "Wendy," he continued, in a voice that no woman has ever yet been able to resist, "Wendy, one girl is more use than twenty boys."

Now Wendy was every inch a woman, though there were not very many inches, and she peeped out of the bed-clothes.

"Do you really think so, Peter?"

"Yes, I do."

"I think it's perfectly sweet of you," she declared, "and I'll get up again," and she sat with him on the side of the bed. She also said she would give him a kiss if he liked, but Peter did not know what she meant, and he held out his hand expectantly. "

"Surely you know what a kiss is?" she asked, aghast.

"I shall know when you give it to me," he replied stiffly, and not to hurt his feeling she gave him a thimble. "

"Now," said he, "shall I give you a kiss?" and she replied with a slight primness, "If you please." She made herself rather cheap by inclining her face toward him, but he merely dropped an acorn button into her hand, so she slowly returned her face to where it had been before, and said nicely that she would wear his kiss on the chain around her neck. It was lucky that she did put it on that chain, for it was afterwards to save her life."

When people in our set are introduced, it is customary for them to ask each other's age, and so Wendy, who always liked to do the correct thing, asked Peter how old he was. It was not really a happy question to ask him; it was like an examination paper that asks grammar, when what you want to be asked is Kings of England.

"I don't know," he replied uneasily, "but I am quite young." He really knew nothing about it, he had merely suspicions, but he said at a venture, "Wendy, I ran away the day I was born." ..."

Wendy was quite surprised, but interested; and she indicated in the charming drawing-room manner, by a touch on her night-gown, that he could sit nearer her.

For the moment she had forgotten his ignorance about kisses. "I thought you would want it back," he said a little bitterly, and offered to return her the thimble.

"Oh dear," said the nice Wendy, "I don't mean a kiss, I mean a thimble."

"What's that?"

"It's like this." She kissed him.

"Funny!" said Peter gravely. "Now shall I give you a thimble?"

"If you wish to," said Wendy, keeping her head erect this time.

Peter thimbled her, and almost immediately she screeched. "What is it, Wendy?"

"It was exactly as if someone were pulling my hair."

"That must have been Tink. I never knew her so naughty before."

The quest for Neverland...

2005-03-25T22:29:00.000+08:00

"In the old days at home the Neverland had always begun to look a little dark and threatening by bedtime. Then unexplored patches arose in it and spread, black shadows moved about in them, the roar of the beasts of prey was quite different now, and above all, you lost the certainty that you would win. You were quite glad that the night-lights were on. You even liked Nana to say that this was just the mantelpiece over here, and that the Neverland was all make-believe."

"Of course the Neverland had been make-believe in those days, but it was real now, and there were no night-lights, and it was getting darker every moment."

"Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of colour here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing, and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose. It would be an easy map if that were all, but there is also first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needle-work, murders, hangings, verbs that take the dative, chocolate pudding day, getting into braces, say ninety-nine, three-pence for pulling out your tooth yourself, and so on, and either these are part of the island or they are another map showing through, and it is all rather confusing, especially as nothing will stand still."

"Of course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John's, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingoes flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it. John lived in a boat turned upside down on the sands, Michael in a wigwam, Wendy in a house of leaves deftly sewn together. John had no friends, Michael had friends at night, Wendy had a pet wolf forsaken by its parents, but on the whole the Neverlands have a family resemblance, and if they stood still in a row you could say of them that they have each other's nose, and so forth. On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles [simple boat]. We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more. "

"Of all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. When you play at it by day with the chairs and table-cloth, it is not in the least alarming, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very real. That is why there are night-lights."

If i'm a compass, you'll be my North.

If i'm the early dawn, you're my pure morning dew.

If i'm an alchemist, then you'll be my gold.

And if you're Cindi, let me be your _ _ _ _ i e .

If i'm a sailboat, you're the whispering wind,

that carries me into open sea.

If you're blue sky, then i'll be the sea to meet you

on horizon like a lovers' first kiss

Sillie's sweetest memories for 3rd Feb...

As i walked out on February 3rd,

Walking down Club Street,

You stood upon the pavement,

Like a harvested field of golden wheat.

O look, look in the mirror,

O look in your distress;

Your face remains beautiful

to the one you choose to bless.

O stand, stand at the window,

As the fears cease and the love start;

You shall love your new admirer

with your bold heart.

Sustain what is in your heart, my dear

with a solitude of ten thousand fathoms deep.

Our dream of tomorrow will disappear,

Much as I love you, if you don't take a leap.

It's late, late in the evening,

The lovers, they were gone.

The clocks stopped their chimming,

As the deep river in them ran on...

"You are my east, my west, my sunday rest.
Stop the hands of time, bring me close to you, chase away the monday blues.

Shine thee in the midnight skies, my moonbeam, shames even the jealous sun.
The nearer I am to oblivion, quickly put me under the fig tree with thy chance.

For you are the gold that summer brings, the reason for the nightingales to sing.
You pour cider into rivers, sweeten the buds of love which an envious man desire to drink.

Bestow thee with diamonds on a ring of gold, a love not to grow old.
Bestow thee with a highway without anyone on it, treasures to look upon it.

Bestow thee with a river in time of dryness, a harbor in the tempest.
Forsaken forever to hold you and closest to heaven than I'll ever be when you are around."

"Almost HeRe...."

" You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you
Shadows bleeding through the light
Where a love once shined so bright
Came without a reason "

A SPECIAL SONG WIF SPECIAL MEANING:

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yhea you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
