Hi Everyone! On Thursday, I had a Starry Starry Night event at my friend's place and it was such a great experience. Mingled with new friends and played games too! All of us wore party hats and even the eye masks with a fake nose!! So fun!! Ha!! Picture of me and Yiwen! Ha... so fun and she loved to wear the party hat man... This is picture of me with the eye mask and the fake nose! Yiwen and I got it at cheap price!! Ha... We had the ending game, called "Pass it On'. Guess what? Its like my friends and I formed a circle and we started off by lighting one candle. Later, we started to sing the song. And while singing, we slowly passed by lighting our neighbour's candle. Slowly, everyone's candles are lit and it is really a very nice and meaningful song!
Hi Everyone! Yes, its Friday and I love it so much! By the way, its less than one month before I end my attachment! I am real happy I tell YOU!! REAL HAPPY! Oh yes, I want to share with you this. I find that I am quite sick of food already. Especially those at the foodcourt. Today, I discovered that I have start to lost great interest in eating at foodcourt. I was at Simei, Hola's Coffeeshop and I tell you, I have no appetite! Seeing my friends eat like laksa, fried hokkien prawn mee, mixed vegetable rice, I tell you, it made me kinda nauseous. I wonder why but probably I have eaten kueh lapis for breakfast and it tasted very nice. In the end, I ordered bubble tea for lunch. My first time doing this. Probably from my workplace, I feel that I am not productive. Guess what? I spent most of the time in office eating and playing games! Wat the. And we were invited to go and grab some buffet food because someone catered. So my friend and I went to collect and we ate it. For me, I did...

Last year, a similar event took place. And this year, it happened again... Love doing this!! PS: This is not painful at all. :)
Ha... Guess what?? This is my 666th post in my blogspot! Anyway, its been quite a while eversince I have gone to the Cinema for movies. I am going to catch this show when it come out: CHAINSAW MASSACRE - The Beginning I have caught the Chainsaw Massacre in 2003 and it was very gruesome and there were quite memorable scene. A man was hung by the hook at the back and a lady (his friend) tried to remove him from the hook. She tried to lift him up from his legs and due to his heavy weight, she was unable to lift up even more. So she let go and even deeper the hook went into his back. #$%^&*(*&^%$ Saw the introduction of Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning. Enough of gruesome in the first 8 minutes. I wonder what will it be for the rest of the movie! Love gruesome!! Bwahaa...
Hey Everyone! My weekend was wonderful!! I love my weekends, unlike the loathful weekdays! So eww... On Saturday, I got up at 12pm! I am really a pig. Its been quite a while eversince I have got up at such a late timing. It was also undisturbed sleep. I cleaned my room finally. Threw a whole loads of my JC notes. I can't believe that I kept so many notes... Browsed through those Maths and Chemistry notes. Man, that time my handwriting was quite large! Ha. Anyway, I threw them away already. Find that they are not relevant at all. Now my walking space in my room increased to 25%! Woohoo!! I had my 2 nights supper at Jalan Kayu, with different company. Felt kinda unhealthy as I ate quite alot of pratas. I should befrain myself from going to Jalan Kayu already. Think in 2 months time? Ha. I had badminton session with my godcousins and they are really so wonderful. Some are quite naughty but its ok. They are still young. I find that hanging out with them make me feel even much youn...

Woohey! I finally got the pictures from Miss Meitoon. Hogg the pictures for so long. Ha.. Just kidding. ANyway, last month, guess it was 99days after Ethelonter Camp, my dearest Group 7 actually celebrated Steamboat! We all had a fun time together. Buying, preparing, cooking and eating. I didn't do the washing. (opps) Pictures Galore -------------------------- Picture of Elaine, Me and Fred. We are busy washing the vegetables... We are busy men. People who ate at the steamboat!! :) THe full Group 7 of Ethelonter III!! Starring: Bryan, Fred, Mervyn, Zhenqin and Meitoon!!! Ha... Do a photohunt with the previous pic. You will know who is the odd one out?? I'm so good.
Oh man! I have so many things to post!!! I want to travel to many countries by the time I reach 30. Would want to visit: Cape of Good Hope (Tip of South Africa) Strawberry Park (Malaysia) Bali Hawaii Mauritius (beautiful island) Japan (Hokkaido) Prague (England) The Golden Gate (San Francisco) I find that there are more to life than restricting yourself in Singapore. Other countries got more interesting stuff! I will not let myself bound by the contours of Singapore and Sengkang... FIRE IN MERVYN'S EYES!
Hi Everyone I have an important lesson which I wanna share. Got to know it through the National Geographic Channel. SmallPox ----------- Let me tell you. When I watched it, I am really quite relieved that I wasn't born with smallpox before. It is a scary disease. Even though its called 'small pox', the problem is not small at all. The virus will eat up cells and make one bleed internally and the whole body is filled with small pox, similar to that of those black pearls that you eat for bubble tea. The difference is that they are bloody. When I saw the documentary, seeing how it can be spread through a conversation or even just walking by, it really shows how weak a human can be towards this disease. Be it you are poor or rich, strong or weak, we are all susceptible to it. I saw how it was passed from 1 person which spread to the relatives, and to friends and to outsiders. It is certainly scary. How nice if it were to be like money in your account. That can grow in such...
Hey everyone! I am so happy... Anyway, at night, I was quite pissed with blogspot because I spent so long to load a 100plus kb of picture. Its like 3mins/picture. #$%^Y&U Simply too slow and waste my time. Actually I want to share with you all about the food pictures and the Innovationation. Meanwhile, its just those pictures below. I chatted with my mum last night and I got to know so much insight news about my house history. Quite interesting. Its actually been super long ever since she had chatted with me in this way. Find that she's a friend to me all along! Ha! Went to Sakae Sushi Buffet with Yiwen at 3pm after I have passed my exam! (WOOHOO) and we ate till 5.30pm. I am really quite a pig. I ate so many plates of fried toufu and the chawanmushi. The miso soup is terrific! I also have to comment that Sakae sushi should give customers more free green tea packets. Because after awhile, I find that I am merely drinking pure water. I am so happy everyone. Mickey is happy ...

Picture of Smelly Beancurd. Its quite delicious! Love the insides... Muahaa. (Crazy) This is a photo taken at Innovationation. It showcased the future handphone, which is running on fuel. It will last longer than our battery and we just need to top up the fuel if it runs out! So amazing right?? It is currently a design, upon further research and improvement. WOOHOO!! Me at the edge of the ECP jetty... Love to spot jellyfish! I spotted one, however, it was dead already. Floating... Yes, this picture is quite gross. Notice there is gravy on my left lower chin. Ha... Its too delicious for me to wipe it off. I thought I can bring it home and when I reach home, I can slurp it. Ha... Oh, this is interesting game also at Innovationation! Its a touch and play game. Ha... :)
Hi Everyone! What a great weekend I had!! Went for ROLLERBLADING and another round of Innovationation. Innovationation ------------------ This time, I felt that I had learnt much more things compared to the first time. I was much more well-informed about the exhibition details and there are so many people present!! We also played the virtual game of ball swiping together with 3 other people. Had so much fun and quite exciting because there are 5 areas for us to score a goal. During the second game, we got 4/5 and we were super close to completing!!! Towards the end, I then realized that the phototaking, it shows the general result of my attitude towards technology in the future. Mine was 'RELAXED'. For the first time I went for the exhibition, I didn't attend to all the survey questions. That was why it was grey in colour. Rollerblading --------------- We bladed for 3hours! Can you believe it? Its been ages eversince I have bladed and we decided to rent for 2 hours. The...

Hi Everyone I am so pissed these few days at work.... I have nothing much to do. And I simply trying to find things to do... Simply waste my time. Its like every single day, I forced myself to wake up and take the morning transport to go to work. After that, when I reach there, I find myself bloody sit in front of the computer checking mails. There are no mails (my company one)! And then, I wanted to do other things, like cleaning and stuff. But there isn't!!! Damn. I started to find online games to play. BUT WE CANT BLOODY ENTER THE WEBSITE!! $%^&*(*&Y Then, I tried to read story book to sooth the savage beast in me. But I found myself edging towards the doze-off mood. WTH! In the end, I read newspaper. TODAY and WO PAO. And I simply read EVERY DAMN article there. I am so -_-!! This is not what I want to do. I wake up so early and come to office and do nothing. At bloody hell time of 4pm, I smsed my supervisor. "Hi. Is it ok for me to leave early because there is ...

Today, I went to Innovationation at Expo and it was quite breathtaking for me. Love the games and the card-swiping. When we entered, we saw these.... Picture of posters and large TV screens surrounding you. I tell you, the sight was amazing. I felt as if I was in a movie... We were also given a card and its like an access card for us to do surveys, take photos and also to keep as momento. Upon arrival, I swiped my card on the wall, and it appeared my beautiful and holy name. Amazing stuff there!! This is a picture of the swiping of the card and the sign. Quite original idea!! Me and the swipe sign!! I cant stop taking pictures inside! Ha! Last but not least, there is an inbuild camera on a desktop and we took pictures of ourselves. After that, it was displayed on the singapore map and everyone can see our faces!! :) This is the picture that we took! Real fun today!!! :)

Hi Everyone Today, its a great day because I went to meet my new NIECE!!!! She is so beautiful. Today is also my first time carrying a new born child. My virgin touch! (sounds quite gross, but its true) The feeling was estatic and my cousin gave me the baby the moment I sat on the couch. I was afraid and that I didn't want to carry her at all, fearing that I might drop her. Fearing that she might cry. Guess what? She didnt cry! She didnt cry.... :) Her heartbeat was so fast as she is excited to see me. As if. It is because for a baby's heartbeat speed, it is around 100plus per minute. She is so adorable. My another niece was daring enough to touch her head and even kiss her. I didnt even dare. Phoebe (the baby) looks just like Mickey when he was young. So tender and soft. Photos Galore ----------------- Picture of my cousin, me and Phoebe... Aint she cute??? WOOHOOO!!!! Another pic of them. Apparently, Cheryl has no fear in carrying her. Despite Cheryl being so young. She kept...
Hi Everyone. Yesterday, I was feeling so terrible. TERRIBLE!!! I went to office to find that I have nothing to do at all! In the morning ----------------- I read 'Memoirs of the Geisha' and awaited for lunch. In the noon ------------- I went to buy my lunch and caught a movie at my office. We actually set up a projector in a room and we all watched 'You me and Dupree'. Quite a funny show!! Rating: 7.8/10 Its been a very long time eversince I have watched a movie. After that, I took an afternoon nap on the chair! Terrible me. I feel so tired because I have nothing to do!!! After the one hour nap, I continued reading the 'Memoirs of Geisha.' My reading speed is so slow... Went home ---------- I bought hydroponics vegetables and acted as a side dish for my dinner. Mickey and I shared the Chicken rice and we loved it so much. Back to the vegetables, they are so crispy. I just boiled them and then, together with oyster sauce and sesame sauce. Simple and healthy di...

My Grandma's House ------------------------- Guess what did I do today?? Read the title again! I went to my Grandma's place for lunch and it was delicious. Think I ate for consistently 30mins of munching of food. Love it, what an enjoyment of noodles, vegetables and chicken curry. Then, I met my cousins. One of them is pregnant. 9months plus already. And from her, I knew that she is going to born Phoebe next tuesday. I am really so amazed because there is a new life unleashed on tuesday. So HAPPY and I am going to visit her straight after work. However, I will not carry the baby. I will not...coz its scary. I scared I might slip her out of my hands... I told my cousin that if I were to do it, I will lie on the other bed and carry the baby. In this case, I will have support, just in case. I have learnt quite alot about giving birth recently. Really alot... Amazing. I share with you all some of them. 1. A normal baby to be in the womb is usually ten months. It is for a full dev...

You can say 'What a great observation, you have, Mervyn.' Its taken on a bus... with the handle and 2 bolts. Aren't I creative? At a coffeeshop Picture of Masalai Thosai! Perfect lunch for me. Love the coconut sauce at the centre. Very delicious and super high in cholestrol. But its ok to eat it once per week. At Bedok! At the last floor of my company Top view of my company. The picture of the park. Looks like a miniature model of a park right? Love the turtles in the pond. At a balcony of another company Moon 15th day of the 8th lunar mth. I know its very small. But too bad, i'm hundreds of kilometres away from it. At my laboratory Picture of me holding alot of packets of marshmallows! Ha... just joking. They are actually cushion balls used for packaging. Been doing lots of packaging in my workplace....
Hi Everyone! I am so mad with this song 'Through the Fire'. Oh man, its like killing me. The tune, the lyrics everything keep throbbing in my head most of the time. Before I sleep, on my way to work, on the way back -- I will keep listening to it. AH!!! Miss Swan ------------- This lady is one of a kind. A joker but I find that she is very talented because she manage to piss people off and yet get lots of freebies from people. Very irritating lady and she loves to say "I tell you everythin'" and "He looka like a man" in nearly every episode. Love her spastic character. WOOHOO! ANd her hairstyle, I love it very much. Catch her at youtube.com Friday -------- Happy Mooncake Festival everyone. Its a time whereby we all eat mooncakes and play lantern. But for me, I find that playing lantern is not my time already. Ha. Find that I am not as enthusiastic about lantern playing anymore. WHY?? I don't know. But I still love mooncakes. The moon will be very...
Time passed so fast. Now its October. The first month with the digit '1'. Soon, it will be December and woohoo! End of attachment and I'd be a year older. Last night, I went to see Don and guess what? I taught him physics on the light chapter. Quite tough though but I had tried my best to make it simple. Ha. Still remembering the object and the light rays. The schematic diagram is quite difficult to imagine last time. But I am clearer now. :) I asked him this last night, "Do you want to carry on with the Befriending Programme?" Don: (think for awhile) I don't mind. Me: That's good!! Don: But with who? Or am I with another new person? Me: Well, can be me again, if you want. But do you want me? Other people also can. Don: Ok, I want you lah. Otherwise need to carry on with a new person. Mervyn Hoe was touched by his words at that moment.... He wanted me to carry on!! Woohoo!! I must jiayou! JIAYOU! JIAYOU!! zzzzz Mervyn, you are so good! Very good. Goodie...

Today is Children's day! And I spent my day with my GODNEPHEWS AND GODNIECES!! Bought some presents for them! To tell you the truth. I actually had headache finding and choosing suitable presents for them! GOt this puzzle at MINITOONS and they are so cheap! Bookmark! Find it quite cute, so I got it. Beads making kit... quite interesting. That's why I got it! 2 puppy pencil boxes! Frog sweet... and it has a trigger which can make noise... very suitable for the 3year old Marcus!! Power Rangers Wallet. This is funny because I asked the uncle whether are they power rangers. Because they didn't look like the version when I was quite young. And indeed, the power rangers had upgraded their image...eww. All the gifts that I bought...and I arranged it at the back of the bus seat!! At my mama's house after badminton ------------------------------------------------ Picture of them playing game and they posed for me! Today is her bd...
