The Day we've been waiting for....

Here they are, the pictures of the Day we've been waiting for...

May 29th.
The big day.
The wedding for Mr and Mrs Tan.
Dang I like the sound of that, Mr and Mrs Tan.

The beautiful bride Charmaine aka Da Sao at the mercy of the make up artist.

Random shots of the things in her room.
Courtesy of the missus who was there early to fire a few... hundred shots.

Voila!
I give you.... Mrs Tan!!!

大嫂 with her maid of honour, Renfeng.

大嫂 and her 二妹. :)

Mr Tan aka Mr Horny sees his bride at last!
*The best part, we is no need to gate crash. By the commands of the bride.
Plus horny has the keys to the house anyway, muhahahahahaha!!!*

Mr and Mrs Tan.

We just thought that this was a nice candid shot.

Arrival at Horny's place.

Tea ceremony for the groom's family.

Nice wedding cake.
So nice that we didn't wanna destroy it....

Change in costume.

The ladies of the day!

My favourite segment.
The characters that made that day... well, that day!

First up, Charmaine aka 大嫂 aka Mrs Tan!
Indulging in her most favoured form of photography.
Self photography!

Alvin the groom aka Mr Horny.
Captured here is an attempt by him to pout and act cute.

Me. Nuff' said.

Jamesy boi.
Looking as cool as ever.

Kevin Wee.
Looking as lost as ever.

My lovely BB!!! :)

The band of bruders.

Bravo boys unite!

The bride with all the brothers.

It dawned on me how happy we all looked in this picture.
Was it because of the occasion?
Or was it because we could finally go home and rest after a truckload of activity in the morning.
I vote for the former.

Words cannot describe...

Too overwhelmed to say much. 
Congrats Mr and Mrs Tan. 

It was a wedding we were waiting for too......

*More pictures when I have time. PROMISE!*

Nuts

The most WTF thing happened to me a couple of minutes ago.

It involved:

Me. 

Dad.

A bowl of nuts. 

Don't even feel like wasting my time blogging about it anymore. 

One word.

NUTS.

Communication...

I've always pride myself for being able to talk to most people. 

In fact, I believe that with the exception of non-humans (ie: The Office Ogre), I am able to communicate with another individual on a more than cordial basis. 

But how is it that I are never able to hold a conversation with my parents without the following results:

1. They start to raise their voices at me

or

2. I start to raise my voice at them

or

3. We all start to raise our voices. 

Isn't it ironic?
The ones that are supposed to matter to me are the ones that I cannot talk to?

Bcation Bubslidays Booneymoon to Taiwan Day 2

The missus and I had a pact quite some time ago. 
In hindsight, it was more of a attempt to make me get down to blogging on our Taiwan trip. 
So after almost a month, the lazy me finally found some time to start on my part: Day 2.

These pictures are not from Day 2, but I realised the missus left them out. 
They are probably what I term as: best friggin shit that happened!

Let us just imagine the scenario:

2 hungry BBs, after a 6+ hours plane ride + 1 hour(or thereabouts) cab right + 30 min checking in the hotel = 2 friggin' hungry BBs!

I never seen 2 persons dump luggage so fast before. 

Next thing that happened, the 2 BBs were wandering the streets along the hotel, hoping to find some food assuage when they saw: Chou Chou Guo (loosely translated: Smelly Pot) = Pictures are as above. 
Timmy boy's verdict?
It is some GOOD SHIT!!!!!!!

I kid you not. The soup was good, although there was an overdose of vegetables. Coupled with free flow rice, drink and a serving of ice cream. The price we paid wasn't too expensive at all...

Okok, and now, to Day 2......

Day 2 was rather hectic in the morning, seeing that we had to check out and catch the transport to get us to 九份.

I guess that taught me a lesson in planning ahead. Way ahead...

But guess what?
The BBs managed to find their way to 九份!!!

Let's just say that in Taiwan, the people are more helpful in pointing out directions to you. 
And I mean pointing out directions. 

The BBs in their various poses.

All about the train station, and probably thingys around it.

My lovely Baby Boo in her various poses...

Some snapshots of the place that we were residing in. 

Even More snapshots of the place we were residing in. 
@ this point of time, I guess I must do a li'l bit of advertising. 
For those who are interested in staying over a night in  九份, check out this site: http://windsor.idv.tw/

They have a host of different rooms for you to choose from, and I must say, it is friggin' nice!!

I kid you not, just take a look at the place we had for the night. Although it might be rather pricey if you compare it to most budget hotels, the decor will more than make up for it...

Me. 

Camwhoring.

Random shots with the SLR.

My favourite.
The gastronomical trip! 
九份 has nothing much to do I confess. 
Maybe the timing that we arrived wasn't enough for us to do much sightseeing, but at least we fired off some shots of the mountains and stuff. 
The rest of our time?
We spent it walking around the lanes of 九份 looking for...........

More Food!!!

Special mention to this lady selling sausages. 

Apparently this is her costume and if you take pictures with her without buying anything, its ok!!!!

That's when I realised it was a ploy to get more people to buy things from her. 

Because if you have a hide that is less thick than a rhinoceros, you will feel obliged to buy something from her. 
Plus she was selling sausages, how hard is it for me to resist?

This picture can probably sum up our trip in  九份.

Quest for food....

The BBs never forget to indulge in a li'l madness.

In this case, it was a friggin' huge can of Heineken. 
Nuff' said. 

Over to you BB.....

Oh for crying out loud!

This long weekend was refreshing in someways, 

tired in others. 

Some events made me laugh, 

while shit happened. 

There were ups and downs. 

But I'm sad to see the end of this long weekend......

PS: My car just got a HUGE-ARSE scratch. I swore to whoever is up there if I ever have the chance to catch the muthafucker, he/she/it will pay for it. Not just the in monetary terms...

Things. Change...

The more things change, the more they remain... insane

-- Michael Fry and T. Lewis, Over the Hedge, 2004

How true.

Many a times, we make the mistake of being comfortable.

Being comfortable with your life, being comfortable in your job, being comfortable in your seat etc etc....

But how many times must we be slapped with the fact that change is always happening, that your life might get better if you win the lottery, you job might get worse with an economic downturn, your arse might hurt if you sit in the seat for too damn long.

And it's funny that at the back of our mind, we have a feeling that this might happen, yet we get all shook up when the actual change occur. Just for the f**k of it I suppose. 

In the end, we'll accept the changes. Some of us take faster to accept, some take longer.

But eventually, we'll all have to accept it, sooner or later, unless you're expired, which in itself, brings about another set of changes.............

And the irony is that everytime I check, whenever things change, they still do not make sense. At all. 

Certain things are happening for me in the workplace. 

I can't say I saw it coming, and I'm still rather shell-shocked to be honest. 

And yes, it does not make sense. 
For me at least. 

The question now is: How long am I going to take to accept the inevitable?

PS: Sorry BB having been able to get the post up. Will do so asap I promise...

The B-cation....

To whom it may concern,

The BBs will be uncontactable from 11th - 18th April due to a short B-cation in Taiwan.
Will only be replying to SMS-es and maybe emails.
Phone calls are strongly discouraged unless its a life-or-death situation or an update on Man U's results in the coming week.
Please be informed that the BBs will enjoying themselves with wild abandon, no worries about that.
In the meantime, take care now. Bye bye then.

Mr Bubs signing off.

PS: Btw this is done on the computer terminal in Changi. Song bo!!!

Ho ho ho....

I just love the look on the boy's face! :)

These kind of days...

You know when you have days when nothing goes right.
Today seems to be one of them.

Because everything that can go wrong, is going wrong.

Darn... what a LONGGGGGGGG day :(

Don't look back in anger....

"Don't look back in anger, I heard you say."

-- "Don't look back in anger" by Oasis

Please don't look back in anger. 

Cos it won't be you. 
And I won't be me. 

I can do nothing but wait. 

I can say nothing but sorry.

I only hope its not too late...

The best of me....

I try to do the best in what I do.
But recently, it seems like the best of me is just not enough.

I'm really sorry for not being able to bring smiles to your pretty face. 

I'm really trying.  

Ode to an Ogre......

Once in a while, we come across individuals that baffles our imagination.
Sometimes these individuals are so awe-inspiring they spur us to become better persons. Like Superman, or Batman or Eric Cantona.
Sometimes the individuals are so shitty you feel better being normal as compared to their inadequacies.

The Office Ogre belongs to the latter.

Primary reason for being able to baffle my imagination: The ability to piss many people off at the same time!
I mean, it sounds easy, but can you imagine the sheer negativity this entity possess?
Sure I can piss people off, but not a lot of them at the same time?!?!?!
The most I can do is probably pissing some people off sometimes.
RESPECT.
Never since Barney the purple shit of a character have I seen another being that invokes the same amount of piss-ness.

Although people say that God (or whoever is up there) is fair.
But I guess he/she/it likes to play jokes on us mortals sometimes.
In my mind, the creation of the Ogre goes something like this:

There's a congregation of gods from various religions one day, and they decided to partake in the creation of foul creatures to be unleashed on Earth. Just for fun.
When it comes to the Ogre, things were pretty heated up, comments and suggestions were flying everywhere.......

G(God)1: Let's start with the body shape. It should be ridiculously large to invoke fear amongst the mortals

G2: Let's give it a face so ugly, the image will burn the retinas of those who cast eyes on its butt ugly mug!

G3: GIVE IT A VOICE SO HORRIBLE, A BANSHEE SCREECHING COULD WIN THE SINGAPORE IDOL. TWICE

G4: i'm trying to see how much i can blow his ego to......

G5: Let Me Reduce The EQ For This Abomination To See How It Can Survive...

And so, the Ogre was born.
A abhorrence so vile that to utter its full name will bring blisters to thy lips.
A being so pompous its speeches could power a wind-generator for 2 years
A cantankerous creature so disagreeable that if you put it in a room with a chair, the chair will move.
A detestation so stupid it is a crime not to arrest it.

And unfortunately, an office co-worker.
The only thing I'm thankful for is the chance to not work with it.
To me, the mere presence of it constitute a crime waiting to happen, although manslaughter won't stick on me since it's technically not human.....

Only saving grace of the Ogre: I have heard reports that he's intillige.....
Not when I hear shit like these:

Ogre: "The Bak Kwa here not nice one leh, doesn't taste like original..."
-Uttered while in Indonesia. No shit Sherlock. It's a friggin' Muslim country. End of story.

Ogre: : "My wife quite famous in M'sia one, she was the....."
- Guess what dipshit? She's famous already. For marrying the Ogre!

Ogre: "Those who become teachers now are those who cannot make it, pass without anything. Not like me, got honours then have this good job..."
- The last time I checked, I got the exact same job with a pass without merit! Good going you walking blowj*b! You just thrown away a year of your life to end up the same as me! Damn! I forgot you do not have a LIFE.

Ogre: "My parents speak English and dialect at home, and my mum speaks Malay with a tinge of accent..."
- Identity crisis. The poor souls are already unfortunate enough to have you as an offspring, now you're trying to say they have cannot speak Chinese or they cannot speak CHINESE. Oh wait, are they Chinese?

Loads more I can blog about but it would take me around 3 months to compile such wise gems of idiocy.
There's a lot more other things I can do with this amount of time... So I think I'll stop for now.
