its strange how bad things happen to good people

Few days back as Edda and i were running home from East Coast Park we noticed a fallen runner and went over to assist him. Somehow he must have suffered a minor stroke as he can no longer more the left side of his body and to make matters worst we could not feel a thing when we touched him on the left side, strangely there were many passerby and only a malay uncle stopped to help. We called an ambulance and while waiting for it to arrive we stayed by his side making sure he was doing ok in terms of breathing, alertness and even check on his pulse rate. Soon a small crowd gathered and the ambulance arrived shortly after. He was sent to Changi Hospital. Even tho we were strangers among each other it was nice to see that some Singaporeans do have a heart when i comes to helping others in need.

We walked home glad knowing we probably had helped save a mans life and knowing that we had missed dinner with the family. Off we went for our "sinful dinner"! - beehoongorengmerah. We stayed up pretty late that night enjoying each others company even tho Edda had a Melbourne flight which was in a few hours time.

As the break of dawn arrives we were off on a cab to the airport. Its was then misfortune struck, after checking in her baggage, Edda found out that her Coach wristlet was missing... after searching through our bags it was confirmed we must have dropped it on the cab. We called the cab company for help and till now 2 days later theres still no news on the wristle. There quite an amount of cash, club memberships and a few credit cards inside but what hurts most are the lost of the little notes, a picture and the sentiment of the gift. I pray that some kind soul out there would return it to us :( That day Edda went for flight... and i could tell, with a broken heart. As i waved her goodbye before we lost sight of each other my heart sank too.

20th Oct

Not too long ago i tried out a 10day trial for the World of Warcraft expansion: Wrath of the Lich king. I was lure back into the game by its breathtaking graphic and interactive game play. As i leaped Azeorathian (my human paladin) into the heat of battle i wonder to myself, am i really gonna commit to WoW once again after Ive tried so hard and managed to pull out of it? and on the other hand Edda was more than willing to give the game a shot... at the end of the day, i decided to lay down my sword and hang up the rusting set of armor - its time for Azeorathian to retire. Still i would sit in the tavern with a cup of ale

There are more important things at hand right now and the one that takes the 1st place is needless to say that special someone in my life. Recently Edda and I celebrated Noraini's 2*th Birthday and we traded tales of our love life, the many ups and well of course the occasional down times. Through talks like this you open your eyes on problems faced by your friends and sometimes wonder to yourself how lucky you are to have each other(+ the rough edges). Couples step on each others toes as they waltz through life, your partner can choose to pick you up, check on that foot of yours to make sure its alright and then carry OR he/she can choose to leave you as both dancers don't have the patience and that special spark for one another after finding out that they just don't fit. Before you make your choice, seeking the advice and wisdom of close friends would be the best thing to do... remember you are not alone! and remember even when you are for that short period of time NEVER be short fused and be self-destructive. God allow thing to happen and sometimes you would see a pattern of such misfortunes repeating one after another... trials. HANG IN THERE!

Time to head down for Brunch, wonder what Edda's mom conjured today :)

PS* iam still a gamer! infact i can't wait to get my hands on a few single player titles that require less commitment or non at all!eg. Disciples 3 - if any has news on this PLS! let me know

mistaken identity!

As Edda and i were at the airport checking out the masses of candy one could find only at Candy Empire, my twin called.

Julian: eh where are you?

Me: Airport bout to send Edda off for flight, y?

Julian: last night i bumped into your friend @ St James ler... she thinks iam you and wants to report you to Edda.

Me: what for?

Julian: cause i was dancing with Amanda la! *grumbles* i was a little drunk and i told her off... anyway Jo and the rest didnt like that bunch of ppl etc etc etc - lotsa nasty stuff

Me: WHAT?! you scolded her and her friends?! *back of my head i told myself "not again!"* why?!

Julian: dont know la! tell you more when u get home bye!

Edda laughs her head off. *Roll eyes*

see... thing is, being twins has got its pros and cons. THIS is one of the cons! what are my colleagues gonna think of me when i bump into them @ work. Then again its not the worst tho, since we so happen to be talking bout this allow me to tell you the worst ive got out of an incident alike to this, only a few years back.
Same thing: Mistaken identity = then GF's bro saw my bro with his babe holding hands and kissing, he tells my GF thinking that its me, she keeps quiet, got back at "me" by cheating on me with someone else, hence the relationship got sour and only told me some time after we broke off. PWNED :(

PS* for those who dont know, i have got a twin! and we do look different in many ways!

Its been a long long time

Its 1205Am, 5hours before ive gotta get up and ready for a flight to Auckland, somehow i have not been blogging in a REALLY REALLY long while! laziness got the best of me i suppose... anyways if you have watched Fame, you would notice that there are many amazing songs in that entire movie and one of them is titled "try". Edda and i were argueing over what it would sound better on the piano or the guitar ha! i ended up learning to play it on the piano grrr... yes piano > guitar i know BUT not all the time!

PS* Baby you know ill never admit that the piano is better especially when we are fighting over a song sheet! so now you know, i admit defeat *grumbles*

So Ive been to many places recently and the most recent one happens to be Athens, Greece. Its my 1st time there and yes it is indeed a beautiful place, the ruins that is... the town area itself is kinda like the middle east if u ask me. Sadly mines was a 5days trip hence we didn't have time to go to many other places Greece had to offer. Will be posting the pictures up onto FB soon, Time to catch up with some sleep
