Predictions for the year of the Tiger
General Predictions -

The year 2010
GENERAL FORECAST :It will be an inauspicious year but of moderate growth-

It is “inauspicious” because -
Though many countries are already out of recession however there would still be 5 key issues like : natural disasters, financial difficulties, lawsuits, political changes and environmental matters -

The year, 2010 -
  • It is a “Geng Yin” year -
  • It’s a tiger year where the first lunar six months of the year belongs to “yang metal”.
  • While the latter half belongs to the “yang wood”.
  • Metal weakens the Wood thus causing difficulties and conflicts.
  • The combination of “Geng and Yin” will make the Tiger year a year of natural disasters, financial difficulties, political unstability (rise of new leaders), legal matters and environmental matters -
  • Tiger is a most feared animal in the old days -
  • It will be a “tiger with 2 rusty teeth”indicating things are not that smooth. Hidden in the 2 teeth are possible lawsuits and political unstability giving rise to riots.
  • The tiger is the second animal of the 12 animal signs and therefore the most fierce -
  • The tiger has to wake up early to look for food and beat all competition so, we too will be likewise. Another year of early morning rise.
So when does the Chinese New Year actually begin ?

  • The season of spring (Li Chun) (solar calendar) begin on 4thFebruary 2010 -
  • However, many chinese all over the world would still celebrate Chinese New Year on 14 February 2010 which follows the lunar calendar -
  • It depends on which Chinese New Year’s “calendar”, you follow.
  • However, as you know, each year, we observe what happens to us on the 4th February 2010 and if good things happen on that day then it is going to be a fantastic year !
  • However, if negative things occur then it means that the year is not going to be smooth.
  • Please go and work on this day as it means that you will always have work to do.

This time, the 4thFebruary 2010 falls on a Thursday.
  • Go to the bank, wear red and bank in a cheque or cash to your name.
  • Did it work for you last year, 2009 ?
  • Did you wear a red top too ?

Tips on what not to do this year :
  • Do not attend funeral and weddings especially for those born in the animal signs of “tiger” and “monkey”.

可惜不是你

I promise I will love B until my last breath so that I won't have to sing this ever.


B, promise you will love me forever too.





这一刻突然觉得好熟悉
像昨天今天同时在放映


我这句语气原来好像你
不就是我们爱过的证据


差一点骗了自己骗了你
爱与被爱不一定成正比


我知道被疼是一种运气
但我无法完全交出自己


努力为你改变
却变不了预留的伏笔
以为在你身边那也算永远


仿佛还是昨天
可是昨天已非常遥远
但闭上双眼我还看得见


可惜不是你陪我到最后
曾一起走却走失那路口


感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔


那一段我们曾心贴着心
我想我更有权力关心你


可能你已走进别人风景
多希望也有星光的投影


努力为你改变
却变不了预留的伏笔
以为在你身边那也算永远


仿佛还是昨天
可是昨天已非常遥远
但闭上双眼我还看得见


可惜不是你陪我到最后
曾一起走却走失那路口


感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔


可惜不是你陪我到最后
曾一起走却走失那路口


感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔


感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能温暖我胸口


A song by 梁静茹

Obsessed with Serial Killers


Recently I've been quite obsessed with crime and investigation, particularly in serial murder cases. I find serial killers intriguing. Not that I'm keen to be one, I'm just interested to know what drove them to do what they do. Is it inborn or is it a result of their upbringing? If you know the answer, tell me, can?


According to an FBI Behavorial Unit study, 85% of the world's serial killers are in America. Ermmm, this is crazy, can. Why America? Why?? Are Americans twisted because of the environment? Is it because they're more exposed to aliens? Or are serial killers aliens? 


I'm very disturbed. Why America?? I love that country! Somewhere deep in my heart, I'm hoping that I can migrate or work in that country one day. I like the weather. I like the shopping. I like the fact that I can zip around the country with no passport. Okay, sorry I digressed. I wish someone can tell me why America produces more serial killers than any other country.



A further research into the topic brought me to this site which names the top 10 evil serial killers in the world &/or universe. The number 1 evil serial killer was suspected to have killed as many as 600 children. Other than raping his victims, this killer liked to torture and see his victims suffer in agony. Worst of all, he liked to bathe in their blood. This is madness!!!


These killers scare the hell outta me. I'm so scared that I'd rather have an encounter with a ghost than to have an encounter with these living monsters. They have no sense of guilt or remorse. How can anyone not have a sense of guilt or remorse? Even my dogs can feel guilt. Don't believe me? Okay, next time i'll take a photo of them with the guilty look and prove you wrong.


Alright. Sorry lah. I don't know what to blog about lately. There are topics in my head but unfortunately I can't share much here. That's why I decided to bore you with my serial killer obsession. Heh.


Have a great week ahead!

Singaporeans are Ball-less?

A girl was molested by a gang of guys in front of a big crowd at Siloso beach but no one stepped forward to help her. Why why??

What would you have done? Not sure what I would do too. Yeah, too troublesome is true....BUT if I'm high already, I will definitely be a heroine lah. Alcohol gives me POWER! Wahahahahahahaha.

By the way, this is a comment made by a foreigner on an international site:
Anonymous said...
"And they are asking why people just stood by taking pictures while not trying to help the girl who they see as a "victim" of molesters." Don't blame Singaporeans because these Singies are waiting for instruction from government.

Erm, ugly Singaporeans & ugly service staff...

This drama happened in a Chinese restaurant at The Chinese Swimming Club.

Firstly, the staff is in the wrong. This is no way to treat customers.

Secondly, the members are also in the wrong. Members big F! Shut up you cameraman!

Are local celebs, celebs?

Do you suppport local celebrities? Well,....I don't but I respect some of them for their talents and humour.

One of them is Bryan Wong. Don't think he's siao siao man in person just because he's siao siao on screen. Judging from his blog (www.bryanwong.sg), this man is actually more melancholic than anyone else. I guess his melancholic self is needed to balance his crazy persona on TV.He's also quite talented. Sometimes I wish I know this man personally. Not because he's a celeb, but because he genuinely seems like a nice friend to have.

I particularly like his taste and penchant for interior designing. If you have never caught an episode of Home Decor on Channel 8, check out some of the before-and-after photos taken by Bryan. I'm sure after seeing them, you will go wahhhhh...

If you like his work, visit his blog regularly for weekly updates.

How was New Year's Eve for you?

Did you welcome the new year with a group of good friends, quietly with your family or simply alone?

Whichever way, it doesn't matter as long as you spent the time, just the way you liked it.

I spent it in style with a group of good friends whom we fondly call ourselves "The Gossippers" for obvious reasons. :)

Unlike previous years when we usually meet on Christmas Eve at one of our homes to welcome Christmas, we totally broke the rule in 2009 by meeting on New Year's Eve at a serviced apartment in Singapore.

It was the best decision we ever made.

Through one of our connections, we managed to book a Somerset Compass 3 bedroom apartment at the eleventh hour.

We had a fantastic time, can. Thank you guys, for making the last day of 2009 memorable. *big smiles*
