Build a box of friendship
Dedicating this poem to my PIC:
Build A Box Of Friendship (by Chuck Pool)
Into a box of friendship
To insure that it is strong
First a layer of respect
On the bottom does belong.
Then to the sides attach
In the corners where they meet
Several anchors full of trust
Devoid of all deceit.
The height of friendship can be measured
By the sides of four
So make them all a larger cut
And the box will hold much more.
Now fill it up with courtesy
Honor and esteem
Understanding, sympathy
And passion for a dream.
Add to that your honesty
Emotions, joy and love
And since they're so important
Place them up above.
But leave the box wide open
So all can see inside
To learn what makes a friendship work
From the box you built with pride
Thank you Esther, Elena and Christina for the years of friendship !
Esther, I really thank you for all the car rides home even though it has been out of the way most of the time. Not to mention the extra traveling time spent, and the additional litres of petrol wasted along the way. My gratitude !

Lor-See-Teng ?
This is really hilarious and needs to get onto the PIC blog !!! Elenana asked me out of the blue, one fine day, whether I have heard of other hand cream brands other than the usual Body Shop or Crabtree & Evelyn.
Elenana: Hey! Do you know of other brands of hand cream ar?
Bobochacha: Why?
Elenana: My C&E one has a funny indian smell !!
Bobochacha: How about TNS? (the natural source)
Elenana: No! Not that ! You hear of a brand starts with L ?
Bobochacha: erm .... no idea
Elenana: I think it's called "Lo-See-Teng"
Bobochacha: Huh ?! LOR-SEE-TENG ? Screws ? Luo-Si-Ding ...screws in chinese)
Elenana: ????? @#$@#$!%!@#!@ ????
Bobochacha: Hahahahahahahahahaha
Even Bobochacha in all her sophistication and well-read knowledge have not heard about such a brand. Lo and behold ! For the 1st time in my life, I walked into a shop @ Centrepoint selling French body care products called " L'occitane " pronounced as "Lok-See-Tan" (Tan as in surname TAN AH BENG)
Funny right ?!

Cheaper by the Dozen 2
haha....I love my friends, my faithful friends that i can always count on. Today..3 members of the PIC Club-christina, shirley and me, samuel, guorong and vincent Wang went to watch a comedy "Cheaper by the Dozen 2". In 2003, christina and I watched "Cheaper by the Dozen 1" and we were so impressed with it. Knowing that there was going to be a 2nd episode to it got both of us highly excited! So i went abt my spree to get more partners to watch the show with me. Laughing can reduce stress! Thank you guys...i really enjoyed laughing with you all!

(no title)
Oh yeah, along the way here, I suddenly was filled with an interest to learn driving. So urged on by so many people who thinks that I should pick up a new skill, I think I should !
Any driving gurus out there to help me get started, you know who you are, PICs, be excited for me !
P.S - this is a very serious entry from a crimester with a major lack of sleep and food ! This is not a joke ... just praying for some time on my calendar to make it possible ... any joiners ?

Happy Belated Birthday, Elenana !
Hello Elenana and my fellow partners in crime, I hope you guys had a wipeout time at KAP yesterday and did not do as much damage to the kiddy tables and chairs there ! Thanks for the update, will look at photos when I make it back.
One word to describe my flight ........ uneventful ! I think it was the entire weekend saga at SAV which totally drained me out, and I was very happy to sleep 3/4 of the way through to US.
Oh yeah, important message from me ... HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ELENA !!! Sorry, I can't be there to celebrate with all you guys but glad you had an enjoyable and wonderful time. I just arrived barely less than 2 hours, so before I get moody about lack of sleep and lack of food, I'll go settle work stuff and head off to hotel.
I did receive word that I may not be expected to stay for the 2 full weeks as anticipated originally, so I may be back sooner than planned. Yippee !! Barely here and I'm already talking about going home ....

Elena's Birthday Celebration at KAP MACS
Elenana, her partners-in-crime and many burglars had a crazy party at macs today. Woa we all relived our childhood memories...u should have seen some of our faces...managed to capture some cool shots..but i realli don't know how to upload the pics here. Some of them were dressed in red and some in yellow...mcdonald's "dresscode".
Anyway...wanna thank u guys for the gifts..esp those of u who have put in effort to search for/to make the gifts. Someone also made my jaw drop today. Thanks Ewing & Nic. Thanks to all those who made time to be there...the 30 of u..Esther, C-nana, Xinyi, Amber, Diana, Bao, Suz, Jac, Jeff, JX, Thomas, Matt, LF, Alvin, Sam, Guorong, Vince Teo/Wang, Dallas & Jayne, Marcus, Wilson, Brian, Jem, Jingting, Hanwei, Rebecca and my two beloved sisters...no joke...big group in that party room. What i liked most were the kiddy chairs, which in my opinion was big enough ONLY to fit half my butt..keke..
Today after the party, had a short chat at KAP, and then joined the rest of the guys for pool..and continued chatting. Had a very unhealthy dinner at bukit timah market..(i shouldn't go there too often or i'll never ever achieve my 5kg..ahem). We went to c-nana's house to chill for a while after that...
Thank u Lord for being in the midst of all the fun...
AH SIM ah! by now u should have reached US... missing u...have a gd time over there ya...this update was specially for u...to keep u in my loop..haha.
