Revamped Old-School

We just love our old-school cartoons, especially those back in the eighties when we're still a bunch of kids. From the 'Transformers' tv series back then to the current live action film today, the transition from old-school to brand new is pretty fascinating. It also also been annouced that some popular cartoons such, Thundercats, Smurfs, He-man and G.I. Joe will be hitting the cinemas in the coming future. Anticipation... Spare a little time to browse through the streamings below and indulge in reminiscence. Rrrock!

A Tribute to National Day Parade 2007 - August 8th 2007

This was the god knows how many freakin' time I didn't get the National Day Parade tickets. All the time wasted inputting names of friends and family at the AXS machine...boo hoo! Well these are the two NDP reditions which are still concurrently playing on TV. Another year of facing the telly on National Day. Hoo....ray... hoo....ray... DOH!

- There's No Place I'd Rather Be -
Prefer the year when Tanya Chua sang "Where I Belong", Kit is just too loud.



There's No Place I'd Rather Be
Artiste: Kit Chan
Music & Lyrics : Jimmy Ye
------------------------------------------
I’ve walked the streets of Cairo & Bombay
I’ve seen the neon signs on old Broadway
I’ve climbed the Eiffel Tower
The Great Wall in one hour
Experienced Sweet and Sour
But that’s okay

Seen Hollywood, the sunsets in LA
The London Bridge, Big Ben, the Thames, UK
I’ve crossed the River Kwai
Yet still I don’t know why
I think of you each night and every day

There’s no place I’d rather be
You’ll always be a part of me
And even though I’ve roamed the world
It’s still my home I long to see
This is where my family
And my friends grew up with me
So I’ll cross the skies and sail the seas
To be where I wanna be

There’s no place I’d rather be
You’ll always be a part of me
And even though I’ve roamed the world
It’s still my home I long to see
This is where my family
And my friends grow old with me
So I’ll cross the skies and sail the seas
To be where I wanna be
Cos there’s no place I’d rather be

- Will You -
Um...If there was a bit more beat and bass, 'will you' think it might be a techno version. Just not my cup of tea. Eek!



Will You?

------------------------------------------
Will you make this island
Amazing in all ways?
Surprises every corner,
Delightful nights and days.

Will you take this country
And turn it from a place
To a home that greets you
With smiles on every face?

Will you come on this brave journey?
Will you help to make it real?
Will you write us grand new stories,
Songs that everyone will feel?

So...Will you swim the current?
Will you scale new heights?
Will you make it happen,
Will you let your dreams take flight?
And...Will you make the difference?
Will you seize the day?
Will you live each moment,
Will you dare to find new ways?

Will you take this city
And turn it from a place
To home that greets you
With smiles on every face

Dare to find, dare to find, dare to find new ways!

Jiajia's Big Day

A most enjoyable day indeed where old friends meet for such an occasion, yes, its the mother of our group, Jiajia. Started out freighting the cake and condiments to Jiajia's, with a slight interruption, a hinderer called placing menu order which in the event I had to unload myself to answer her call (was also hailing a cab at the same time - an octopus I am).

Rendezvoused with Suling at the supermarket to do grocery for the japanese-oriental birthday hotpot. Kids are always kids (little rebels), Jiajia's little Lewis was really an eye-opener for Suling, with his overwhelming petite personality, hyper-active juvenile Lewis really spirited up the whole grocery trip.

The rest of the gang (Raymond, Suxiang, Peiling) came with Jiajia's birthday gift, and got it going with the food preparations. Following to that with our extra spare time, we had a little mahjong session (purely based on our friendship with no money involved).

We sally forth on the food once and for all, of course there were leftovers coz we were over ambitious with assuming that everyone eats like a pig. Ha.. After a teamwork of cleaning up, the cake was presented, phswoo... no bad comments (total sweatness). Was glad that we chose an oven for her birthday since she had thoughts of leaning how to bake (smiles), I've had to have at least someone to be my reserved.

Gone fishing... That's where we went to fish for shrimps, 2 teams, 2 rods. Winners get Milo... Me, Raymond, Jiajia and Suling, Suxiang, Peiling. Its always hilarious to see Suxiang & Peiling in action, where most of the time they were just 2 jesters doing their job in comedy.

Jiajia was so happy that she text me, complaining me she couldn't sleep till late. Fluttering like butterflies in our stomachs and everywhere else, that day was indeed most memorable. Yipee-dee-doo-daa...
