Jycelyn's Birthday 2012@Brasserie Les Saveurs, St Regis

 A beautiful sunday afternoon and a birthday treat for princess Jycelyn :p

 The decor in the resturant makes me feel like i'm in France : )

 A hopefully delicious feast awaits...

 First stop: Appetizers. Appreciate the small portions which allow us a variety of taste. Visually appealing too.

 Foie Gras Royal with Smoked Eel. Interesting is the word here :p

 I forgot the name!!! Some kind of egg, sweet like dessert :D

 Marinated tuna with Watermelon

 Eggs!!! Princess ordered her favourite Egg Benedict

 While i tried out their scrambled eggs : )

 Exclusive St Regis butter : )

 What's a buffet without fresh seafood?

 Fresh salmon and tuna too!

 My personal highlight of the meal: big, fresh scallops!

 Wooooo....tender....

 It's really yummy!!!!!!!

 Was told of their famous desserts so......

 We grabbed the whole lot!!!! Hahaha chocolate lovers will love their chocolatey desserts!!!!

 : )

 All in all, a brunch buffet for 2 at a total of $300+, the key thing here will be the ambiance as well as great service and an interesting array of delicacies. Taste is really subjective though i'm personally impressed by their fresh scallops and desserts. For an occasional pampering and a taste of french dining without worrying about a surprisingly hefty bill (given it's a buffet at standard price), i will reommend  Brasserie Les Saveurs at St Regis. Un excellent séjour!

Torturous Sports Fan

3 of my favorite sports teams, each facing a unique set of issues which leaves me worried and sad to different extents.

1. Orlando Magic

For those who don't know, I do watch a few bit of basketball when I can, and Orlando Magic has always been my team since the days of Shaq, Penny Hardaway, Pat Garrity, Tracy McGrady to the current ones like Jameer Nelson, Hedo Turkoglu, Ryan Anderson...etc (notice I left out an All-Star Center, shall explain later). While I cursed and sweared at Lebron James for breaking the heart of Cleveland, I never expected the same kind of drama to be reacted, or even worse, in Orlando. Any sign of respect, much less liking of Dwight Howard vanished the moment he hypocritically put an arm around coach Stan Van Gundy, unaware that the coach has just announced to the world that he was told of Dwight's backstabbing gesture as he wanted to get Stan sacked behind his back. Honesty and integrity seem to be values too beneath of superstars like Lebron and Dwight, blessed with awe-inspiring talent but always look to do things their way, preferably the easy way. If Dwight has a PR assistant, he should sack him instead as his reputation has officially gone down the drain. Superman no more, just a super weasel. So Orlando has belatedly sacked coach Stan after a losing but resilient effort in the 1st round of playoffs, while Dwight remains non-committal about his future. Because of one prima Donna superstar, we lost a great coach and can still end up with nothing but broken dreams. Whether Dwight stays or not is not important anymore, I just want the drama to end and rebuild the team as a respectable franchise.

2. Arsenal

Kudos to Wenger for leading the Gunners to the coveted Champion's League spot (sorry Spurs) and finishing above rivals Chelsea and Tottenham as the best team in London. However, in what seems to be a recurring theme in recent times, the Gunners face another summer of uncertainty with regards to the future of Captain Van Persie. While I hope and trust Van Persie not to be like Dwight Howard, I really wish to see an example of a player who doesn't turn his back on his team for supposed ambitions and realistically, money. A role model who wears his colors proud, who stays through thick and thin, who cares more about his teammates, his fans, his mentor than his personal ambition or greed. Steven Gerrard is probably the last player like that and he will be respected for his loyalty to the cause. Even if players leave like Henry and Fabregas, fans know that they are Gunners through and through, unlike Nasri and Adebayor. I really believe that we are not far away from a trophy with the recovery of Whilshere and the addition of Podolski and more to come. So hopefully Van Persie stays on and win with Arsenal, thus cementing himself as a legend like Henry.

3. Blackburn Rovers

I always joked that Arsenal is my mistress while Blackburn is my wife. Well, we are relegated and honestly, I don't see us getting back into the Premier League as long as the stupid Venky's and clueless Keanu are still in charge. What used to be a well respected institution in English football has now become a laughing stock and I will hate to imagine how the late Jack Walker may feel as his hometown team fell to such depths. What is more depressing is that Blackburn don't have an urgent need to sell in the first place. We were doing fine as a mid table team in the league with a trust fund set up by Jack Walker financing the team. Prudent managers like Mark Hughes and Big Sam have constructed teams within limited budget which have achieved the minimal of staving off relegation. After stupid Venky's bought the club, unrealistic ambitions (Champion's League) and targets (Beckham) reflected owners who clearly have as much football knowledge as a casual fan. Their undying support of Kean as manager bore more out of the reluctance of paying compensation after foolishly extending his contract the season before despite barely surviving relegation on the last day. Incompetent owners, clueless manager and an utter and complete mess, I fear of us becoming the next Leeds, Portsmouth and Charlton which never see the bright lights of Premier League once relegated. I hope and I pray that stupid Venky's sell the club ASAP to a decent owner who don't have to be rich but with real love for the club.

Watching sports used to cheer me up but this year has really been a torture. Haiz.....

有感而发 25-05-2012

昔日情似狂潮涌
此时绵延如恒流
不再痴望着拥有
只盼能暖妳心头

Long time no see

Long time no see!

To my blog which i have so heartlessly neglected for so so long...

To anyone out there who actually took time to drop by only to see the same old entry...

Well...

I'm back!!!

Haha i don't know how frequent I'm gonna update this dear old blog from now on...

Once a week? Once a month?

I guess...in typical Wesley fashion...

顺其自然吧！

However, my blog is still a place where i record down memorable moments of my life...

So the next few entries will be flashbacks and recollections of 2 particular moments which stood out for me for the end of 2011...

And for those who care to know...

Those were 2 happy moments :)

现状

"…那么我们现在的状况, 你ok吗?"

"…ok啊, 有人帮我拿东西,当然ok :P "

:)

错过的电影

两张7.45pm 的电影票根,
在7.45pm 之前,
包含着希望和期待。
过了7.45pm 后,
则象征着失落与遗憾。
心血来潮,
发觉我们俩也仿佛是一场错过的电影。
错过后,
电影依然放映,
不会停顿,不会等待。
错过电影的人,
生活仍然继续,
虽然惋惜,虽然无奈。
没有谁对谁错,
只能说造化弄人。
这场电影看不成,
还有下一场。
虽然此情此景无法重现,
但与其对着回不来的过去叹息,
不如期待下一场不同的电影,
不同的剧情,
不同的体会,
不是吗?

*when you apologises for flying me aeroplane, the evil naughtiness in me retorted silently that "well, nothing to feel bad about, you already flew me 2 years of aeroplane before". When i realised that i can joke at myself lightheartedly about our past, i feel that i have really moved on :-)

Jycelyn Birthday 2011

握手

走在静僻的小巷,
身边只有你一人。
漫无目的地走着,
随心所欲地聊着。
望着你随着步伐摇摆的右手,
心中涌起想握着它的念头。

感觉自己的左手,
有股想伸出的冲动。
脑海中不禁浮现,
与你紧握着手漫步的景象。
但是,我忍住了。
依旧隔着一段看似近却极远的距离,
听着你聊,
陪着你走。

在与你分别后,
在回家的路上,
反复地想着,
如果我当时伸出手,
握紧你的手,
你会挣脱,
还是回握我的手?
我,
是否能够,
握你的手?

*早上醒来,
发现更令人懊恼的,
是自己没有伸出手的勇气,
没有寻找答案的勇气。

林凡-這樣愛你好可怕

作詞：林夕
作曲：GJ
編曲：劉志遠

是我說過分手以後要祝福大家
怎麼聽到你的喜訊我忽然靜下
我紅了眼睛黑著臉再不斷講話
你看在眼裡想到什麼何必問我
怎麼啦你還好嗎

你的快樂與我無關我就不快樂
我也失去繼續偽裝朋友的資格
我竟然希望他不夠好那就好了
你說不定會因此對我一直牽掛
這個我還值得你愛嗎

我虛偽 我慚愧 我嫉妒 你幸福
你這個傻瓜　不要逼我說謊話
愛一個人是佔有　一點都不偉大
我醜惡 我自私 我認了看著你　容不下他
蹋地死心　原來出於私心
我也覺得我好可怕 (好可怕)

所謂祝福原來只是在爾虞我詐
關係昇華只是欲望垂死的掙扎
我甚至想過萬一你們開始吵架
在我們之間就能留下一條尾巴
這個我還值得誰愛嗎

那麼愛你卻寧願你寂寞
像這樣的愛 好可怕

(林夕的词，总是那么一针见血。)

无言的默契

J:你知道以往都是什么时候开始准备的?
W:通常都是在六月过后。
J:你知道我在问什么吗?
W:是XXX的事,对吧?
J:哇...你怎么知道?
W:...（笑而不语）

这种无言的默契，
很甜蜜 :)

珍惜，幸福

一周七日何其多，
日复日有何不同。
我的一周七日里，
周二周六就不同。

起床睁眼盼相逢，
闻其初醒声朦胧。
莫名亲密满心头，
仿佛昨夜共枕梦。

与其共事更奋斗，
只因伊人在左右。
心情愉快好工作，
成绩自然也不错。

喜欢只有你和我，
自然愉快的互动。
感觉我在你心中，
丝丝情谊暖心窝。

好景往往难持久，
只求珍惜分秒钟。
每个眼神每个笑，
都是幸福的理由。

对话

W: 离别之秋意更浓，
转眼已过几个秋。
黑夜静默更寂寞，
指数再见解思愁。

惊见伊人几行留，
难掩欣喜疑是梦。
突觉两岸不遥远，
只因相思在心中。

J: 菩提本无树
明镜亦非台
本来无一物
何处惹尘埃

W: 思绪千百种
一切自心头
于是镜见台
菩提便成树

J: 现状本无碍
升华亦无望
若兄根错种
愿您斩此误

W: 有幸与妹能相识
未来唯有天地知
真心不计得与失
只求无悔不畏痴

Listen to you

W: Haha but wat i do while u go appt?
J: Ya lo. Howww
W: Or daytime i go hm take a nap then meet u at bukit batok around 8.30pm for follow up? :p
J: No nappp.
W: Haha ok lah since u said so le, i listen to u :) then we stick to the initial plan?
J: Ya...So ur dinner how

As we exchanged SMSes, this song just began to play in my mind :)

？

奢望成为你的唯一，
不甘只是你的之一。
多想让你每天想起，
不想在你思绪的边境。
希望是你心中第一，
而非其他人的后续。
好想知道在你心里，
我这个人有何意义。
