And so she said yes :)With Love,Barneysaurus There's something about Never Give Up After 3 years spent at a ulu part of Singapore, my unexpected journey as an over-aged undergraduate has officially come to an end. I would like to thank the three most important ladies in my life for making this possible.1) My SisterIf you never moved out of the house when I was 17, I probably would have failed my 'O's and kiss my uni dreams goodbye. So Sis, a very big thank you to you for allowing the house to be peaceful :D2) My MumI would not be where I am today if not for the countless sacrifices you made. Thanks for giving me the chance to become someone you can be proud of :)3) My beloved B3For believing in me. For giving strength to Last Minute Productions. For being hand-in-hand by my side while we climbed mountains. For being the reason for me to never give up, and for offering your hand. The best thing that happened to me in uni was not the piece of paper, it was you :)It was only possible because of you, and for that, I just want to say:Thank you :)Signing Off, Barneysaurus There's something about Updates Updates!1) I'm back to work. Heh.2) Wii is incredibly addictive.3) B3 is super cute in her jogging attire. But then again she is super cute in every thing, hahahaha.... I hope our jog this morning more than makes up for the incredibly sinful dinners we have been having :)Signing off,Barneysaurus There's something about The Last Paper And with it, ends my 3 years in NTU. Sitting in 179, taking in the sights of the school in the twilight, I was overcame by an unexpected rush of emotions. And then my stomach growled. Heh.I think I shall call it a night and leave the lyrics-waxing for another day. Because words fail me now.Signing off,Barneysaurus There's something about Those Unforgettable Days I will be sitting for my last paper four days' time. And with it, my three years' worth of misadventures at the local uni will come to an end. As with most of my classmates, I'm getting all nostalgic already. Heh.Random Incident #01:Lecturer: You have not attended any of my lectures this semester. Why?Me: . . . . Because I learn nothing from your lectures.Suffice to say I'm not exactly in Dr Zhang's good books. Heh.Signing off,Barneysaurus There's something about The Busy Dino Ok ok, I know I haven't been blogging much because:1) I'm a good boy who spends most of his time on Home Work :)2) I'm a good boy who spends most of his time on FYP :)3) I'm a good boy who is improving his Chinese History by playing a lot of San Guo :)4) I'm a good boy who needs to help his mum eat the house's supply of New Year Goodies :)5) I'm a good boy who has worked his game and defeated his beloved B3 in Connect 4. Finally, heh heh :)As you can see, I am a very busy good boy :)Happy New Year everyone :D!Signing Out,Barneysaurus There's something about The Treetop Walk A sunny Saturday morning, we made our way to the top of the treetop walk.Ten odd kms of rocky agony, I'm thankful you slaughtered me not.Sandwiches filled with eggs, tomatoes, and the garment picnic ham you bought.Your hands with mine, we made our way to the top of the treetop walk.Signing off,Barneysaurus There’s Something About This Coming Sunday Come Sunday morning, I will be subjecting myself to 42.195km worth of torture. But! The good news is that I will get another free Adidas shirt at the end of the run. Heh.Seriously though, I am woefully unprepared this time. But I am looking forward to the iced Milo, courtesy of B3 :)Signing off,Barneysaurus There’s Something About 17th November For those of you who still bother to check out this blog, I owe you a big SORRY because I’ve not been updating due to the following reasons:1) I’ve been busy with school work and have just completed a major paper this morning.2) I’ve been busy fighting off the marauding hordes of Cao Cao in San Guo 11.3) I’ve been busy fighting off zombies and other assorted spirits in Reigen Doushi.Because of the above reasons, I didn’t write about the very meaningful birthday I had, nor about this year’s Mid-Autumn festival, nor about many other important occasions. But I must blog on the 17th November, because 365 days ago, ‘someone’ gave me a very good reason to celebrate this day. In fact, she gave me such a good reason I must celebrate this day year after year after year.Thank you, my dearest B3, for bringing the smiles back into my life :)With Love,Barneysaurus There’s something about Three Strikes When this happened a year ago, I told myself three things:1) It would be great if her date doesn’t clash with any exams.2) It would be better if she’s performing at Esplanade instead of sucky indoor stadium.3) I will attend her concert next time, if there's ever a 'next time'.A year later, she’s indeed making a trip here again. In fact, she is coming on my birthday. And I won’t be going alone this time :)Signing off,Barneysaurus There's something about Coincidences So I happen to know of this couple who bought this pair of polo shirts that is exactly the same except they are of different sizes.Yes, we are talking about lovers' clothes here.They made this pact that they have to wear them at least once in a month. The trick though, is they wouldn't know when the other will be wearing it. We are talking about a chance in sixty here.But somehow, they did.Magic :)Signing off,Barneysaurus There’s something about Happy Teacher’s Day :) I would like to wish a very, very happy Teacher’s Day to all the teachers out there, unless they happen to fall under the abusive-disparaging-evil-pedophile type of teachers.I would also like to wish my very, very special Fei Fei Lao Shi a very happy Teacher’s Day, because she is the number one and only one best Fei Fei Lao Shi in the whole wide world, haha :). . . . Hugs :)!Signing off, Barneysaurus There’s something about Happy Teacher’s Day :) I would like to wish a very, very happy Teacher’s Day to all the teachers out there, unless they happen to fall under the abusive-disparaging-evil-pedophile type of teachers.I would also like to wish my very, very special Fei Fei Lao Shi a very happy Teacher’s Day, because she is the number one and only one best Fei Fei Lao Shi in the whole wide world, haha :). . . .

Muahahaha :D!Signing off,Barneysaurus There's something about The Most Wonderful Jelly I Ever Tasted Good food alert!I've found the best-tasting jellies in Singapore, and probably the world :D!I didn't find it in Newton Hawker Centre. . . . I didn't find it in Lau Pat Sat. . . . I didn't find it in the many nice eateries in Chinatown. . . .But in the comfort of my home:The best tasting jellies in the whole worldI am the luckiest man in the world :)Signing off,Barneysaurus There's something about My Attachment My attachment finally ended! But I am back to work. Again. There is no holidays for me. Haha. Anyway, I bear good news today: I had ice cream from the Toa Payoh Uncle the other day. Yes, he is back :)It turns out that he was taking a month's rest following an eye operation. He is ok now! I didn't even mind it when he forgot and gave me the yucky durian flavor ice cream. I is very happy.As I walked away that day, I suddenly realised that I've forgot to ask for his name again. But standing in the distance, watching the Uncle smiling while serving others ice cream, that doesn't seem to matter that much any more.Signing off,Barneysaurus There’s something about That day At The Library I have always wanted to do this at least once.I was in the library. Reading papers. There was this uncle making helluva lot of noise on his handphone. I really wanted him to shut up. So I went up to him and did just that.Life is good :)Signing off, Barneysaurus There’s something about A Tinge of Regret I happen to drop by Toa Payoh a few weeks back for some errands, and ended up staying longer than intended. Having lived the better part of my life there (24 years, to be exact), it’s a place of warm and usually fond remembrance for me. Despite the upgrading and new buildings, there were a lot of things that didn’t change. For example, the pasar malam was still packed. They still have those kiddie rides (scooter or car for you?) at I-don’t-know-how-many cents per ride. And there were still a lot of uncles playing checkers at the void deck near what used to be the central fountain. About the only thing that was different, yet uniquely congruent to the communal spirit of Toa Payoh, was the many line dancers sashaying at the pavements, seemingly obviously to the stares of curious passer-bys. To me, there is another constant in Toa Payoh: there is this old ice cream uncle whom I’ve bought ice cream from since I was in secondary school. He would always be there, regardless of the weather, three hundred and sixty five days a year barring Chinese New Year. I witnessed the price of the ice cream more than tripled from 30 cents to the current $1, witnessed how the number of ice cream sellers increased from the original one to god-knows-how-many-now, and also witnessed how the poor uncle developed a limp over the years. I always make it a point to get a cone from him whenever I’m in Toa Payoh, and that night was no exception. Our conversations were always the same: 你吃饱了吗？你要不要榴莲味的？一定要问因为有些人不喜欢榴莲味。 I have no idea why, but I had a sudden urge to take a picture with Uncle that night. But I refrained because I’ve heard that old folks are not really into pictures because it’s deemed as inauspicious. As I walked away though, I couldn’t resist it, and went back to take a shot of him in the distance without him knowing.I was back in Toa Payoh again last night, but failed to get my usual ice cream because Uncle was not around. In fact, he wasn’t around last week either. For want of a better description, my imagination went wild. My hand in hers, B3 comforted me by saying he has probably retired, and is probably enjoying a warm dinner with his family now. I hope with my heart that she is right.I never did find out his name all these years.Signing off,Barneysaurus There’s something about My Love Affairs I lusted after Evisu, but I know I’ll never be happy with someone so flashy.Flirted briefly with Blue Cult and True Religion, but they freaked me out by being too preachy.Went surfing once with Tsubi, didn’t work out because I was caught ogling at Nudie.So I had a beer with tomboy Diesel, and I know it’s a match that’s meant to be.Signing off,Barneysaurus There’s something about A Very Bad Habit Sorry for not updating recently: I’ve been really busy with my work attachment these couple of weeks. That is, I was busy playing Spider Solitaire :)Anyway, I’ve developed a very bad habit of late: I’m addicted to shopping. That initial itch to get something will somehow develop into a full-blown obsession, with me spending hours and hours at shopping centers, neighbourhood stores, and Evil Bay. But I can’t help myself. The sense of suspense as you enter your auction bid at the dying seconds. The thrill of the kill when you get not just a Good, but a Great buy. The satisfaction when an eagerly anticipated overseas parcel arrives. The pain and agony when you realize you could have got it cheaper because of that sale that came a week too late.B3 thinks I’m turning female. I is scared too. And when I lost at the recent bidding war, I swear I felt the cramps.Signing off,Barneysaurus There's something about Happy Mother's Birthday Today is a super duper special day because not only is it Mother's Day, it is also B3's birthday :)So. . . .HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY CUM MOTHER'S DAY AH B3 :D!The fact that your 21st birthday falls on Mother's Day is a high indication that you will become a mother soon :D! *Expects to get bished big time for typing the previous sentence*To everybody else in this whole wide world: Happy Mother's Day :)Signing off,Barneysaurus There’s something about That Very Belated Post I’VE FINISHED MY EXAMS :D!That was like 3 days ago.And I’ve started my work attachment today yesterday.Where are my holidays :(?!?!Anyway, I swear that Hey Ya song by Outkast is jinxed. About a year and a half back, I was at another work attachment, desperately fighting for my life against the vicious Zzzzz Monster when I heard the song on the radio. Then yesterday afternoon I found myself listening to the same song on the radio and fighting the Zzzzz Monster again. Damn.Anyway, the chicken rice uncle called me 小弟 when I was queuing up at his stall. Cheap thrill, but nonetheless I is happy sia :)Signing off,Barneysaurus There’s something about A Big Thank You For Yesterday After months of meticulous planning, yesterday finally happened :)A big THANKS to everyone who helped to make what happened yesterday a reality :D! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as me and B3 did, keke :). . . .Ok, back to my exams :PSigning off,Barneysaurus There’s something about The Day I Wrote Very, Very Fast So I was in the exam hall the other day, about to start on the last question (34% weightage) that I allocated 45 minutes to. Then the invigilator called out “You have 15 minutes remaining.” I mistook a 2.0 hour paper for 2½ hours. I never wrote so fast before in my life.I need divine intervention.Signing off,Barneysaurus There's something about My Coming Exams Actually, other that the fact that I've not started serious revisions yet (my first paper starts on the coming Tuesday), there's nothing interesting about my coming exams. Acome to think of it, there's nothing interesting about me not having started serious revisions either.Anyway, it being the exams, I'll be refraining from blogging for the next month or so. I think. Signing off,Barneysaurus There's something about Why I Am Happy Today My chest grew by an inch :)Signing off,Barneysaurus There's something about The Metal Chest Expander So I finally bought a metal chest expander yesterday. I don't know if the maker was trying to be funny, but the label went: "For external use only". I hope my $10.50 was worth it. After using the latex version for a month odd, I'm sad to report here that I still see no sign of me changing cup size soon. Damn. And discouraging friends such as Champion Chen and Lion Queen, whose Man has considerable pecs, told me point-blank that some things are 'hereditary'. Damn.I'm now crossing my fingers that Oto will come up with a male version of the Trimax that boost your chest size or something. Oh well.Signing off, Barneysaurus There's something about Chest Expanders, Redux I can't believe this. My chest expander snapped. Again. No more latex for me! I'm going for the metal types.In other news, I'm doing my attachment in a company that deals with inflatables. Don't ask.Signing off,Barneysaurus
