i just realised how darn complicated my family tree might be..
just realised that i might have more than 38 cousins! We didn't count my half cousins. (the 2 kids of lydia and rachael?)

My mom tried to explain to me. Something like my grandpa's brother's kids. So those kids have their own kids which in turn become my cousins as well... though like half cousins. To try and make it simple, it;s like having the same great great grandpa but different parents or something like that.

who knows man..i might somehow be super distantly related to each member of the BC. hahaha

scary scary...just came back from my grandpa's birthday party (mom's side)
so let's place the facts on the table

a) this is the bugger irresponsible grandpa who abandoned my grandma (ahmah) who was his 1st wife.



b) he took a 2nd and 3rd wife

c) I have never met him b4 till today. In fact today i only went because my mom "persuaded" me and i thought might as well meet up with my cousins and more cousins whom i was sure i had never met b4



So let's get to the main story shall we?


all my cousins (which i was familiar with) came, or most of them like 97% of them. So it was a pretty good meeting. My grandpa's house is huge! Ok actually it's my aunt's house but from what i heared he bought it or something for them. It has a swimming pool, it's a bungelow. hell..it even has a games room complete with a pool table and table tennis table. It's really a BIG BIG HOUSE!



ANyway my aunt uncle (from the 2nd wife i think) has 2 kids. One is this super super irritating inquisitive boy of 12yrs who will bombard u with questions non stop. and 1 is a shy 10 yrs girl. ANyway in the games room...there's a PS2, and a PS3! blooody helll.,,rich pple.



anyway my elder cousin gabriel (2nd branch aka from 2nd wife) decided to make a family tree. Only thing lacking is from our side since he alrdy did the 2nd and 3rd branch. anyway together claire andy gabriel and a newly know cousin called melissa (19yrs old), we found out all together there are a total of 38 cousins from the 1st - 3rd branch. (includes uncle richard's (1st born of the 1st branch!!) 2 kids from the 1st wife.



38 cousins!!! (includes me) that's like fucking huge!!!



i remember reading 1 article last time in ST abt a family of 100 which won some award or something. BLAH!!! only 100.... small fry lah! think abt 38 cousins alone only. If u count all the uncles and aunties? grandparents =2 or 4 if u includethe 2 other wives too. PLUS we have a total of 4 nephews and neices from 1st -3rd branch



so just the grandparents +cousins + nephews and neices = 46 alrdy leh
i'm sure aunties and uncles will make it more than 100 alrdy. ok maybe slightly less than 100.

and that's only my mom's side. If you count my dad's side....



Maybe shld call straits times...lol. Anyway i'm assigned to make a family tree of the 1st branch. And we would all form a group in facebook.



I guess i can't really hate my grandpa. Patriarchal system. Once again stunned by the family wealth of my other relatves. haha and pple say i'm rich. Still seeing how the rich live, makes me more humble i guess. BEWARE PRIDE MORTAL!



Yiyu gave me $50 MPH book vouchers as a birthday present. She's always such a kind cousin. haha. Of all my cousins, i'm of course closest to those i meet weekly or at least once a month (andy, claire, yiyu &simon). basically all from the 1st branch. except the "elders" like tina lina ben and amy who are all at least 10yrs older than i. But we are still a close knit family

rather than those cousins i meet only like once every yr or later than that. some today i've only met today. *shrugs*

interesting family i have huh? haha. wonder what MT..no..shld be called MH now...will say abt this when i tell her this when i see her next time. Most interesting.

blogging activation entered:

before hx gets a chance to utterly interrogate me, might as well blog it to prevent a msn interrogation.

successful outing on wednesday. Went to watch I now pronounce you chuck and larry. It's 1 hell of a funny movie. Both of us laughed so much. I highly recommend it And becausse it was a weekday, plenty of space even though we bought 4.15pm tickets at 4.20pm.

because of a slight miscommunicati0n, we were a bit late. Ok she was a bit late...quite late and i was early. (meeting time at 3.45 but we met at 4.10pm lol.) haha but oh while i guess waiting for a female is different than waiting for a male who;'s late. (besides thx to ivan...i'm sure most BC members are very very patient pple, habit cultivated during secondary/JC lan-ing days)

So we missed abt 5 mins of the movie. (i didnt' know lido had a threatre on the 2nd floor, and neither did she). So after movie, went to far east plaza for dinner but shop either a)closed down or b) not opened that day. So in the end went to Beauty World and had vegetarian food at a restaurent. (SHE LIKES PASTA and PIZZA!)

And after dinner sent her home. Outing ended at abt 8.30pm. Sniff sniff she had to go home early to finish her report due at midnight. ARGH! there went my plan to take her to clark quey to enjoy the nice decorations there. Brought my camera but forgot to take photos.

Had a great and fun filled time. End of story. Truly enjoyable company unlike some pple i know *coughs and thinks of certain BC members* haha..nice spend company with a person 3/4 of the day without hearing a single swearword. lol. REFRESHING!


K back to work. My assignment deadline due 2 days earlier now. And pretty busy this week too.

My dear Yh, hahah..how much ego boosting do u think i need? haha....(lots)
anyway i didnt' go for that cock cy's last min badminton outing since i was alrdy at my grandma's house from 12 onwards.

anyway i don;t like the blue font i used...blah. looks disgusting. For the main quote today taken from the Sunday Times

"He must not be allowed to use his low IQ as a wild card to whisk himself out of prison"
- Deputy Public Prosecutor Christina Koh, speaking in court on a convicted robber who will be given remorative training instead of a long jail term and 24 stokes because of his low IQ

I swear most of my female cousins have a tinge of cruel streak in them. Claire's....nvm...can't say bad things abt relatives.

Then again Tina's like wat...8-10? yrs older than i? So i guess the perspective are different. Still...all right! her name once again in the papers. (and not or infamous deeds! whoo!) One for the Neo side!

And u guys think i'm rich when u haven't even seen my other relatives epecially from my mom's side. We are the paupers on that side!! (not really paupers but on comparison...quite low lah).

2 more months b4 my bro shifts out! Did i mention the wedding dinner food tasting was pretty good? apparently my soon to be sis-in-law has a sister the same age as me. And like some deity playing a mockery on me, her name is Melissa. BUT she's not that pretty. Then again i'm not one fit to anyhow pass judgment.

JUGDE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED! (ivan's an idiot! haha...baka doesn't want to pass me xl's blog address...this type of friend blah!)

Yh's comments on badminton are so fucking true, It's like he can read minds. No wonder he's so good at citedels.

the moment i was writing those very words, i was thinking, gods..this sounds so much like ego boosting.

anyway today went to my grandma's house. OMG!! was it crowded today! everyone came besides yiyu. That included my newly married cousin Ben and his wife rachael and Tina and her brood (my super urber cute nephew and neice)

my ah mah cooked 2 full tables of all her best dishes. (French beans, FRIED chicken wings, belly pork, roasted white chikcen, curry fish, celary with prawns). scary thing was after everyone ate to their heart's content, there was enough food left that it looked enough for everyone to have another round.

my neice and nephew have grown so much since the lasgt i saw them 3 months ago...still as adorable as ever. My neice is awefully tall for her age i think. She's like 5 and alrdy 1.30m at least? and are kids getting smarter these days? Czy's sister is by no means dumb, in fact i think she's ppretty smart. My neice is no exception. and my 2 yr old nephew knows how to handle a dvd player/recorder. God...i mean when i was 2 i was prob like still learning how to speak/ walk. after all, my mom told me i only spoke/walked ard 2-3+ yrs old. (she was so worried abt tht she took me to see a doctor)


Haha..finally managed to interrogate my dear cousin claire abt her boyfriend. Love my uncle Bok's words. Why get 1 boyfriend only? get at least 2-3 others. Why stick with 1 bf? lol. Even auntie Angie says the same. haha. manage to obtain bf's name, cca, age, and general area of where's he staying. Interesting...must interrogate her friends' next time. hahaha.

and as usual that cock CY invite me superlast min to badminton. 1pm meeting time, ask me to go at 1245. Cb...hate it when pple do that blah

ah well nothing much to blog abt. Everything's QUIET!

I realise i truly love playing badminton. When i play it, it's like there's this instant surge of adrenaline flowing through me. Guess that's wat u call true love of the game huh? I don't get that surge of adrenaline when i play basketball. Maybe it's because i'm much better at badminton than at basketball.

haha maybe because in badminton, ivan's height doesn't really matter. I mean gods...playing basketbal against ivan is like argh!!! so fucking irritating.

compare victor vs Ivan stats

Height: 160 vs 175-177 = 15-17 cm difference
arms + hands length = ivan beat by 1 full hand length = 10cm or so?
Jumping: ivan's like a damm bird...hollow bones. Oh wait...with ivan it's only bones. Victor= bones + lots of mass. therefore ivan can jump prob 1.5times better than victor.

that guy can just jump LIGHTLY to outjump me when i jump with all my might. Dumb tall idiot. haha

At least in badminton, u use jumping for ur smashes. Even though ivan's height means he can cover the court better. But i'm STILL BETTER!!!!

i might even be better than cy. hehe..not good to gloat but that day i beat him 14-3 b4 he said play doubles. Lousy lah he! even though i admit the wind condition was a bit tricky but i was also playing under the same conditions. Nvm...*mutters lousy cy* hahaahahaha

I just love reading yh's comments.

Actually the only thing that pisses me off is the damm annunities scheme and maybe a bit of GST. Transport fees oh well..nothing to say.

Can just imagine my money after i die (if i die b4 i use my the $$) being wasted on others when my own kids (i know i will have some kids in the future i must have some!!! legally of course not out of wedlock. haha) need it as well.

but enough of this PAP bashing stuff. I will just stick to reading the comical blog which i posted the last time on PAP bashing.

So for my birthday day the pple that sent me smses: Hx, Gh( cursed me to be in BC club forever) , MT, Boyan (called me an old goat lol!) , and my cousin yiyu.
PPle that sent me wishes on msn: william and ivan (dota freaks!) and cy
pple that sent me via facebook: MS, Sissy Jupes, Hazzie, alvin ang, John chia, and a few others i can't remember. I bet most of them remembered because facebook sent them a reminder.

zz..with all this online friendster like stuff it's so easy to send birthday wishes..wat happen to the good old fashion birthday cards? Mada mada dane.. Anyway thx to those that send wishes.

There were some that clearly forgot abt it even though i was chatting with them. *coughs* dumb edward, can ask me want to play bb and clearly forgot abt my birthday...fraggort. MB also forgot, females. blah

speaking of the Series of M* where *= another letter, i notice most of the 2nd letters are of their surnames. MS, MC MB. Therefore, since MT's surname isn't T but rather starts with H, she shld be MH. after all her english name is Madeline. However, i;m sure everyone is used to saying MT and i know i can't change their natures after all.

Sniff sniff...no gifts on my birthdays from my friends. (besides czy who gave me a cute little ipod/hp pouch). These type of friends...even the buffet lunch was one which i treated. nb...Oh wait..hx and richard gave me a big cake! even though they mixed up my birthday and went to my mouse on the 11th!!! and called me at 1230am!!! after i was asleep for like an hr...and woke up my whole family. BAKA!

haha then again czy shld be the one complaining, we didn't get him anything (besides the brush which i'm sure he's using it to dust his keyboard) and even the dinner was free. (yh ivan and i did try to get him something but in the end couldnt decide on anything)

btw yh, czy said he's using the best keyboard and mouse that's available alrdy and he only uses a specific brand of headphones. So lucky we didin't get him any of those right?

In hindsight, Hx's the luckiest bugger. Dinner was mostly paid for (by me!!!) and he had free ice cream too.

End note: My grandparents and relatives gave me abt $400 in hongbao! WHEE!! and it's all mine so dun even think of getting treats!

yet another long non blogging period...mada mada...
Anyway finally 22yrs old. another year gone by.

Thanks to those who wished me a happy birthday. WHERE ARE MY GIFTS???? nb...

might as well blog something i wanted to blog for the last 2 months but never got around to doing it.

a) CPF changes and ERP galleries being set up

don't know wtf PAP is doing. Forced to set up an annuity and if we die before all; the money is spent, it doesn't go back to our descendants (or relatives) but goes to the government? So that we can help support others? Hello? what makes them think we ourselves don't need the fucking money? LKY must be going senile to even suggest such a thing. In fact, he even leaked out the CPF info b4 his son made the annual speech. isn't that suppose to be under leaking classified information? I bet if other ministers did that, they would have been fired. If it was other countries, that person can kiss his career goodbye. Really, as if singaporeans aren't smart enough to think out on how to spend their $$$, and the government must poke their noses in other pple's business.

ERP..prices going up again. Idiots, wat makes them think that rising prices would result in lighter traffic? And so nicely, the ST must publish an article which says, with ERP, traffic is lighter, one day after the PAP made the announcement. What bullshit! People can see it's propaganda shit. Might as well put a ERP outside everyone's gate then. Bloody hell. I don;t respect a transport minister who doesn't take PUBLIC transport and dares to make stupid conclusions on the traffic areas. Like they say, with ERP (in the ST), traffic is lighter, if ur willing to fork out $10 a day. $10x 30 =$300 a month for travelling on the roads. This excludes patrol, maintaince of car.

Idiots running the government. Not idiots, rather fucking materialistic people thinking the people are naive and willing to suffer this. Do remember, this is right after they were re-elected for another 4yrs. After promising to not raise prices :

Aftermath: 7% gst, transport price hikes, annunity, ERP price hikes too

WHEE!
