today.. kenny took part in his first (1 leg of a) triathalon, it was such a thrill! watching him cycle away, and having that fluttering feeling in my heart that he will make it, and will find his way.. so, we all waved, and cheered, telling him to pedal faster, and to go go go!

... 12 minutes later.. the lady who kicked off just 1 minute before he did has arrived back, and we anticipate his return in about 3 minutes..

.. 15 minute mark.. still not here.. hmm.. ok.. maybe he's not used to the route, and is pedalling slower than usual..

.. 25 minute mark.. ok.. this is seriously WEIRD!.. the girl who has a mountain bike, and is pedalling WAYYY slower than kenny's norm is back.. where IS he! *i hope he hasnt fallen down, or something!.. or.. tyre punctured.. brakes failed.. why! what happened!* lady who has kicked off 1 minute before he did set off to help us look for him

.. 30 minute mark.. ooo.. YAY! the prodigal son returns!! whoo hoo!!! get off your bike, and run to the next station to pass it on to the runner!! *why is he walking!?!?!*

but heyy! he completed it! so that's great!!!

anyway.. uncle william is in quite bad shape in the hospital.. so, the parents had to tell granny, and they all left very quickly to go be by his side.. kenny, on the other hand, was unable to understand why no one was willing to play his game (he just bought the game twister, and has been bugging the whole family to play it after dinner). so, i tried to explain the priorities and the reason why we could not play tonight.. he didnt quite get it.. and was looking very sad and was about to cry.. so.. i tucked him in, and asked if he was ok.. he said he was not ok, and that he was sad.. i said is it because you dont understand why you cant play your game? and he kept repeating that he wanted to play.. ultimately, i tried to get him to accept playing another time, and to go sleep, and dream.. but he said he didnt dream.. so, i started to recap past experiences to make him happy.. stuff like our trip in bali.. and all the fun that he had.. finally, he started to smile. and i was finally at ease..

cute part.. he told me to take his crocodile toy- schnarpee, and called it scharps.. heh.. that's what kamil does to him.. whenever he sees kenny in bed.. heh.. so i tried to do to the whole "lets pretend its a machine gun" thing.. but.. didnt really work.. hahaha.. i'm not sure how he did it. hehehe..

oh wells.. the kenny misses kamil.. aww...

we had lobster one day, and i cooked aglio olio! :) was pretty nice, if i must say so, myself! heehhee..the french onion soup was really nice too! we ate in for most dinners, see..

breakfast was toat, crossoint, mee goreng, if you asked for it, bacon and scrambled eggs on demand! :) lovely!

i had a wonderful time!!

and we did seasports too! banana boat, flying fish, parasailing! the museum was wonderful (a bit musky, but the artwork was really cool), and seeing tanah lot, the barong-rawat dance (which i didnt really get, but tried to interpret), the mountains... breath-taking...

1. Guys hate sluts even though they have sex with them!

2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" ~ two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.

3... Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.

5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.

7. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.

8. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

9. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.

10. Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend.

11. Guys get jealous easily.

12. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.

13. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...nevermind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.

14. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.

15. Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.

16. Girls are guys' weaknesses.

17. Guys are very open about themselves.

18. It's good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don't let him wait too long.

19. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend.

20. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.

21. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

22. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.

23. Guys will brag about anything.

24. Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you a whole hell of a lot.

25. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.

26. Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.

27. Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships.

28. Try to be as straightforward as possible.

29. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be mature and grown up.

30. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.

31. No matter how much guys talk about butts and boobs, personality is key.

32. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.

33. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped.

34. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.

35. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.

36. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."

37. Guys don't really have final decisions.

38. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.

39. If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.

40. When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.

41. Guys like femininity not feebleness.

42. Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.

43. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.

44. Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.

45. Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much.

46. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.

47. Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more.

48. Guys really think that girls are strange and haveunpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.

49. A guy would give his left nut to be able to read a girl's mindfor a day.

50. No guy can handle all his problems on his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.

51. Not all guys are assholes. Just because ONE is a jackass doesnt mean he represents ALL of us.

52. We don't like girls who are too skinny.

53. We love it when girls talk about there boobs.

54. Always make sure you know what kind of stuff your getting into before making out with a guy ...like wheather it's a one time deal or not ....

55. Believe it or not shy guys are the most easiest to talk to..it may not seem right but trust me they will start opening up like books after you just ask them questions about their lives and unoticable tell them about yours...

56. When a guy hits your butt it means that he wants you sexually

57. Even if they refuse it all guys are ticklish on the ribs..

58. Guys love neck rubs and if he lets you keep doing it ..it means that he really likes you or his neck really hurts...

59. Guys will test the waters to see how far they can get with you. Even if he doesn't intend to it will happen. Know how far it is you want to let him go and he will respect that...after you let him know a couple times.

*************60. When a guy sacrfices his sleep and health just to be with you, he really likes you and wants to be with you as much as possible.**************

61. Your best friend, the guy you can go to with anything, is the guy who loves you more than any other ever could. He'd do anything to be with you, and will always love you. When he sees you cry he wishes he could change the stars to make you happy. He would go to the end of the world for you and loves you deeply.

I dunno.. i saw this, and thought it was interesting.. i have never seen this list before.. interesting...

lately, i've been getting many calls.. asking for richard, chen tai, or to return a PSP. heh..

richard caller calls MULTIPLE times a day! up to 6-8 times, asking for richard.. i keep telling her that no richard exists, but she refuses to believe me! so she keeps calling! Worse, she called me witha 3 way call, and the third party guy goes "Bonjour, Bonjour!". ARGH!!! how irritating!

ok.. and there is a lady who keeps looking for Chen Tai.. okkk.. i am chen Shuowen.. but i am no Tai! heh.. i thought it was my mom.. but the lady on the other side was being MOST unco-operative. when asked for a full name, she just went MIA.. and left me hanging on the phone.. in the end, i just hang up, and she calls for Chen Tai.. AGAIN!

and.. late at nights.. i get calls to return a PSP.. the conversation goes like this (translated to english):

Me: Hello
PSP Guy: Hello, AYE! return me my PSP la!
Me: Excuse me? Who are you looking for?
PSP Guy: Arent' you So and So's younger sister?
Me: Who's younger sister? (I mean.. i AM Sophia's younger sister)
PSP Guy: AIYA! Stop talking so much nonsense, just give me back my PSP!
Me: Excuse me, you have gotten the wrong number. Good Bye!

and he calls again the next night..

wahhh.. i tell you.. i swear.. richard, chen tai and the stolen psp have some connection.. i think richard had been diverting calls to my h/p.. so.. possibly.. he is married to chen tai, who uses his phone to 'book' appointments.. and hence, the lady calls for chen tai... the girl who keeps calling for richard is really his mistress, and richard, has been borrowing PSPs and not returning them.. HAH!

ORRR... richard is a young boy, and the girl who keeps calling is his incessant friend. chen tai is his mother.. and boys, being boys, he has borrowed a PSP, and not returned it, hence, incurring the wrath of the angry man!

yesss... richard.. whoever you are.. you DIE

You Are An INFP

The Idealist

You are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world.
Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships.
It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close.
But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.

You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.

You Are An ISFJ

The Nurturer

You have a strong need to belong, and you very loyal.
A good listener, you excell at helping others in practical ways.
In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music.
You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for.

You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist.

happy new year one and all!

yes. i'm sorry for going all houdini but this sem has been shit and well, i'm gonna go back into a even shittier sem. oh wells. new years eve was not-so-surprisingly sober and mild. had a christmas sort of dinner with the neighbours and the godparents. yes, i did say christmas there. there was turkey and ham and all that. it was christmas dinner no. 2. good things were the german beer that was pretty satisfying and so was the tequilla sunrise.

then, we played cranium which was awesome. felt that it wasn't too fair on our neighbours as they do not speak english as first lang. but it went well. then we launched straight into taboo. which ended up with only 2 players - me and shozzy. oh well. we then counted down and spent the first part of 2007 watching mr. darcy and elizabeth bennet defy the norms of social classes and live happily ever after. ok. yes, i know. it was awfully boring what i did. but i enjoyed it. kind of. i'm just tired nowadays and these 2 days of doing nothing but read, eat and watch tv was great! though i did start on my thesis TODAY (1 page). finally! and i did like make some effort in looking at masters and scholarships and all that.

so that was my (boring-o) new years eve and new years day.
2006 was great for me nonetheless (massive understatement there!!!)
so 2007, bring it on!!!
