New new post in sooooo many years!

 Happy CNY everyone! 

Its been a very long time since I updated my blog... had almost forgotten that I have a blog.

The past few years have been really bad due to the COVID-19 situation. Wifey couldn't visit her family for 2+ years already. Hopefully situation improves more later this year so that she can travel home.

Now I am a father of 2, Jacob is in Primary 4 this year and my daughter Jenna is in Primary 1 this year.

Hope that everyone will have a good year ahead and enjoy good health! Started intermittent fasting late last year and it seems to be helping me.

Shall write again... sharing a MV from Achim Reichel

1st Post in almost 2 years!

Heyho everyone!

I guess I have been on a hiatus for too long haven't I? So much has happened since my last post. I got married to Tina on 10.10.10, my son Jacob was born this year on 11th of May 2012. More and more responsibilities come my way but I guess that's what starting a family is all about :) 

I don't really think people will visit my blog that much now but I guess as my colleague Armand had mentioned, it is good to just write and share my thoughts online. 

Less time for games and fun now that lil Jacob is born, well fun in different ways now I guess. My spare time whenever he is napping or not crying is spent by surfing the net and playing games on Facebook. Watching shows on PPTV are also part of my pastime now. Sherlock was a really good series that I managed to watch, too bad there are so little episodes, guess will need to wait for more.

There was a 7.6 magnitude earthquake that happened on Saturday, and to think me and my colleague Derek were talking about earthquakes in Philipines on Friday during lunch. I sure hope that there will be no aftershocks or tsunamis at all.

To end it off, here's a picture of lil Jacob :) 

Okay dokez! See you all soon!

2010! Year of the Tiger!

Heyhoz everyone!





I have sure neglected my blog....one of my readers ( you know who you are) recently just told me that I have not updated my blog for god knows how long and so here I am updating my blog again. Maybe I should pop up with random stuff more often, let's see..... Yes! haha i should update my relationship status as being attached, not that people around me do not know but it would be the first time I am saying this out in the blogosphere I believe?






Above is a pic of my gf Tina and me together with my cousin Regina during CNY.


Its the Year of the Tiger and I was told it was supposed to be the Widow's Year where its not advisable to get married, yet I have friends who are/have gotten married in this year. I myself would have chosen to get married also sometime right now even, I guess wedding bells will have to toll till I fix a date again.



Oh yes and another update I would be glad to share with everyone would be that I finally finished school at SIM-RMIT! It was actually much more travelling than to Informatics at Jurong, but yet it seems faster in a way.

Short post from me first, expect more to come soon!

Adios amigos!

December - Month of weddings~~

Heyhoz everyone!

Joshy is back with an update again :) Yeapz tis the season to be jolly~~~ weddings galore this month, it is joy upon joy for a lot of people.

Kickstarted my first wedding of the month by going to my BMT friend Mike's wedding at Mariott Hotel on Sunday. I still can't believe its been 7 years since our BMT already , time really flies. Below is the pic i took with the good looking couple :)



After that i went to sing at Partyworld Liang Court to while some time before Grandma's birthday dinner at Peach Garden. Managed to sing Jay Chou's Gei Wo Yi Shou Ge De Shi Jian a few times.

Here's a picture of sis with Daniel kor and Darlene.



The dinner at Peach Garden was quite ok , the peking duck was good albeit very small portion. But in the end we had extra servings of food because two empty seats at my table.

And look what came for NSPAM while i was writing this blog, look at the following pics.







A log cake from ATS' big boss :) haha and the maam at the mailroom thought the young lady who sent the cake over was my girlfriend! hahahahaha very funny right?

Another pic i took on Friday was of the fried chicken from Jolly V that i finally got to eat :) and it was the last plate of anything for the day! they have last order at 8.25pm.



Succulent fried chicken hmmmmmm yum yum.

I had been following this anime/dorama called Nodame Cantabile and it brought nice sensation to me because the music inside was really captivating. It helped also that the characters were amusing :) Because of one character inside, i decided to buy a phone strap of it.



In the end the phone strap is bigger than my phone! But i still like the Nodame Mongoose, so i will put it at my office table :)

Today's mtv of the day will be the song i mentioned earlier, 给我一首歌的时间。

給我一首歌的時間 作詞 : 周杰倫　作曲 : 周杰倫　監製 : 周杰倫

雨淋濕了天空 毀得很講究
妳說妳不懂 為何在這時牽手
我曬乾了沉默 悔得很衝動
就算這是做錯 也只是怕錯過

在一起叫 夢～
分開了叫 痛～
是不是說 沒有做完的夢最痛～
迷路的後 果～
我能承受 這最後的出口在愛過了才有

能不能給我一首歌的時間
緊緊的把那擁抱變成永遠
在我的懷裡妳不用害怕失眠
哦如果妳想忘記我也能失憶

能不能給我一首歌的時間
把故事聽到最後才說再見
妳送我的眼淚 讓它留在雨天
哦越過妳劃的線我定了勇氣 的終點

雨淋濕了天空 毀得很講究
妳說妳不懂 我為何在這時牽手
我曬乾了沉默 悔得很衝動
就算這是做錯 也只是怕錯過

在一起叫 夢～
分開了叫 痛～
是不是說 沒有做完的夢最痛～
迷路的後 果～
我能承受 這最後的出口在愛過了才有

要怎麼證明我沒有說謊的力氣 哦請告訴我
暫停算不算放棄 我只有一天的回憶

BTK!

Heyhoz everyone,

After the 'death' posts i decided there should be a lighter tone in this post. Lookie at the title! BTK and it stands for Boon Tong Kee. Its like that cos i went to have lunch with my mates at NSPAM at the BTK branch at Macpherson yesterday.

Turned out to be quite a nice meal , complete with soup and meat :) wish the chicken was more though. Didn't take any pictures of the food! haha but i took a picture of a pen i took from there, who would have though BTK has complimentary pens?



And i was looking around for a picture i saw on a forum a few months back. It was the scene of a Race Queen contest held at Kallang. Do give your views on the contestant in the pic and those in the background. Race Queens? or Drag Queen?



So after viewing the picture, what do you guys think? I really applaud her courage though lar, i always recommend people to have confidence in themselves and do the stuff they want to do, at least they can proudly say i tried, did you?

I came across this cute mascot when i was searching for my friend's hometown of Saitama, its so cute!



Its name is Kobaton, cute or not? Should we have mascots for our GRCs?

I am repeating this song today by Jay Chou , Shuo Hao De Xing Fu Ne, i like the song :) I guess every one of his albums there will be one that is dear to me.

說好的幸福呢作詞 : 方文山　作曲 : 周杰倫　監製 : 周杰倫

妳的回話凌亂著 在這個時刻
我想起噴泉旁的白鴿 甜蜜散落了

情緒莫名的拉扯 我還愛妳呢
而妳斷斷續續唱著歌 假裝沒事了

時間過了 走了 愛情面臨選擇 妳冷了 倦了 我哭了
離開時的不快樂 妳用卡片手寫著 有些愛只給到這 真的痛了

怎麼了 妳累了 說好的 幸福呢
我懂了 不說了 愛淡了 夢遠了
開心與不開心一一細數著 妳再不捨
那些愛過的感覺都太深刻 我都還記得

妳不等了 說好的 幸福呢
我錯了 淚乾了 放手了 後悔了
只是回憶的音樂盒還旋轉著 要怎麼停呢

妳的回話凌亂著 在這個時刻
我想起噴泉旁的白鴿 甜蜜散落了

情緒莫名的拉扯 我還愛妳呢

Condolences to all victims' families in the Mumbai disaster

Heyhoz everyone!

Previous entry was dealing with death of an entertainer, now this entry also dealing with death, on a much larger scale.

I would like to say my condolences to the victims' families of the Mumbai terrorist attack. This was really a surprise to me when i read the news a few days ago about terrorists attacking different spots at Mumbai. So much carnage in a bustling metropolitan city, it really makes me sad that the terrorists would do such a thing. Not that this is a new thing as a lot of terrorist activities have been carried out especially during the last decade or so.

I guess now they should be trying to find out who is the mastermind behind this horrendous event. The people who did this were mere 20+ year olds, many of whom were younger than me. How ever did they manage to plan all of this and be equipped with so much weapons?

Here's an appropriate song i thought of when this happened, i hope we can be like this song.



Where is the love by Black Eyed Peas. I hope that peace prevails instead of all this killin... rest in peace victims.

Peace out
Joshy

RIP Bernie Mac

Heyhoz everyone!

Sombre title for today, only today have i realised that Mr Bernie Mac, the comedian who has acted in a lot of good shows had already passed away on August 9th. That means Madagascar 2 would be one of the last shows that he starred in. I sure as hell will be going to watch that movie man, would be the last time i hear his voice in a new movie :( , that plus Soul Men which also is starring him. It also means that if there was another Ocean's sequel, there wouldn't be his character in it.

Here's a video of Samuel L Jackson's eulogy to Bernie "the King of comedy" Mac.



Let us say a prayer for him in our own way, hope he is having fun wherever he is at.
