------------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally something that off my heart, because it's such a pain to hide something joyful in your heart. Because when u need the element of surprise, you can't share with her. It's like a sharpen needle slowly piercing your heart, or some heavily weighted fats sitting on the top your heart.

However only the smile in her face can fend it off.
And I help it out by providing her with some joyful information ('there will be a cake') and hint of my present ('there is a present for u') few hours ahead of her big 21st.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

My present for her

• i made a cheesecake. (It tastes good and feels like bakerzin!)
• i made a paper wallet with S$ cash. (Its 'Michelle' brand!)
  
• i drew 21 photos of her. (Its colored!)
• i compiled a video* of her . (young til now. Plus videos of her gfs wishes for her)
  *the cover is b/w drawing of her.
• Planning for the surprise birthday party for her!
  

Lesbian is the "IN" thing now as VIvian chow and Sandra Ng are to share a hot kiss, bed scene in an upcoming movie / film.

Vivian Chow 'comeback' firm to star as a lesbian lover.

Known for her ladylike, sweet and demure image in Hong Kong, popular actress Vivian Chow will be making her return to the silver screen and is slated to start production for her upcoming movie next month. Apart from acting as a lesbian lover of fellow Hong Kong actress, Sandra Ng, the pair will also share a hot onscreen kiss together.

Chow made her exit from the entertainment industry 12 years ago for love. After her last production in 1996 for the short film, Out of the Blur, it has been 13 years since the actress last appeared on the big screen. Although she has released books, held concerts and partook in commercials, the actress did not wholly resume showbiz work.

According to news reports, both Chow and Ng's participation in the movie has been confirmed by one of the film's investors. "This is a romantic comedy. Filming is estimated to commence in November."

Piqued by the character's role, Chow agreed to make a comeback and star in this upcoming film. To meet the demands of the movie's script, she will embrace her daring side to share a bed scene with Ng.

All the above pics are HongKong demure yet sexy Vivian Chow.

And this is veteran actress Sandra Ng.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil SAMBA Won the right to host 2016 Olympics.

Rio de Janeiro bid for the 1936, 1940, 2004 and 2012 Summer Olympics, but failed on every occasion, and missed the shortlist in the last two attempts.On March 14, 2008, the IOC's 2016 Working Group released its evaluation report.

Rio de Janeiro's dream of bringing the Olympics to South America for the first time became reality when they won the vote to host the 2016 edition. They have beaten Chicago, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and Madrid.

The Brazilian city saw off Madrid in the final round of voting after odds-on favourites Chicago, backed by a personal visit from President Barack Obama, had gone out in a first round sensation.

They were followed by Tokyo, the only city of the four to have previously hosted the Games, in the second round.

In a sensational first round, the 95 eligible voters rejected a personal plea by the most powerful man in the world. Obama had flown in on Friday morning to appear at the final presentation but even his powerful presence, as well as the lobbying of his wife Michelle, failed to excite the members. "We fought a good fight and I am very proud of the team and the campaign," said bid chief Pat Ryan. "Some you win, some you lose. That's the way it goes."

The American city was followed out by Tokyo whose pleas to host the Games for a second time fell on deaf ears. The Tokyo bid team were said to be shocked and stunned as they felt their message on improving the environment radically and placing the accent on youth would play well. Even an impressive turn by newly-elected Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama failed to convince members.

Rio's appearance in the final two is no surprise as they had consistently impressed in the past year and a stunning piece of oratory by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at the presentation sealed their place. He declared it was not only Brazil's time but also South America's as no country from the continent has previously hosted the Games.

Madrid, bidding to become the first Spanish city to host the Olympics since Barcelona's successful 1992 edition, were seen to be rank outsiders and were as much as 16/1 with British bookmakers Ladbrokes earlier in the week. Even Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero had voiced concerns over the bid but he gave a solid performance at the presentation. However, the presence of 89-year-old former IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch helped secure vital votes. His plea that 'his days on earth were numbered' struck a chord for many of the members who owed their positions to him during his controversial but highly successful tenure which saw the Games become the modern and commercial titan that is now.
The elimination of Chicago and Tokyo set up an intriguing head-to-head between two of the giants of sports administration - Samaranch and former FIFA President Joao Havelange, who looking far younger than his 93 years promised to invite people to a massive party in Rio in 2016 when he will be 100.

Disasters 2009 - Samoa tsunami and Sumatra, Padang earthquake

2 Disasters marks the end of September 2009. Bad omen for the end of the world? Hopefully its not the case and we can only pray for the best.

The First which is the 2009 Samoa earthquake was an 8.0 Mw earthquake which took place in the Samoan Islands region at September 29, 2009 .It is the largest earthquake so far in 2009.A tsunami was generated which caused substantial damage and loss of life in Samoa, American Samoa, and Tonga. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center recorded a 3-inch (76 mm) rise in sea levels near the epicenter.The quake occurred on the outer rise of the Kermadec-Tonga Subduction Zone where the Pacific Plate dives under the Australian Plate. This is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plates in the earth's lithosphere meet and earthquakes and volcanic activity are common.
The confirmed death toll from the devastating tsunamis that crashed into the Samoa islands and Tonga has risen to 164 with at least 16 more people unaccounted for, officials said Friday.

what a 'lucky' day!

I thought for a umpteenth time a bird shit has landed on me, but no! I got something a bit wee better, pissed by a bird! Unless a monkey is trying to play punk and i look like a human-size banana, I'm certain it was some kind of bird peeing. But in a urban area they don't really exist.

Its was a beautiful morning until i saw tat splash of yellowish droplets. Lucky, it splashed on my forearm else if it land on my hair, i wouldn't have notice.
Blame me! I shouldn't have followed my daily(workdays only) SOP(standard operating procedure) of dazing away(day-dreaming) routine on my way to work.

PROPOSAL
Christopher Lee proposed to his life partner by getting down on one knee and asked his girlfriend(Fann Wong) of six years to marry him on the second day of Chinese New Year, in front of 20 family members and friends. It was simple and there weren't any flowers. I guess it's probably done to the sincerity and his tone which tied his knot to fann.

The proposal ring is a beautiful custom-made solitaire diamond ring (2.2 or 2.3 carat) costed around $100,000 and its brought in Barcelona, Spain.However the proposal ring was chosen and bought by well-renowed celebrity g-a-y stylist, i mean hair stylist, David Gan. Probably it's down to his gay-goistic that he made the decision on the proposal ring and bought it without even showing Chris.


Pre-Wedding
They had their bridal photo shoot in Maldives, showed no signs of tiredness and eagerly shared the love stories that inspired their jewellery collections – Starbliss, Romantique and Love Lace.Designed by Wong, the three collections sponsored by Celestial® by Goldheart are worth an estimated S$2.5million. A highlight of Starbliss is a 60-carat diamond necklace where each diamond is supposed to represent the different milestones of the couple’s courtship.“With this collaboration, I can be rest assured that I’ll be a sparkling bride on my wedding day!” said Wong.But that’s not all the MediaCorp actress wants to be when she walks down the aisle on September 29.“I will be a runaway bride,” declared Wong.“I have it all planned. When I put this [the necklace] on in the morning [of the wedding] I will run away with it! I will spend the rest of my life in Maldives,” she joked.Besides the S$1.6 million diamond necklace, Starbliss which was inspired by Lee’s “selflessness” and unconditional love for Wong, also consists of pair of diamond drop earrings and a bracelet.“A few years back, I had fallen very ill and Chris was in a state of panic. Even though he was filming at night, he took time off to rush down by my side and even made special effort to cook fish porridge for me – even though he hardly ever stepped into the kitchen!“After he fed me spoon by spoon, he stayed with me till I fell asleep before returning to filming. His unconditional love for me made me appreciate and love him even more,” said Wong.While the necklace is the highlight of the collection, Lee’s favourite is the Romantique collection which consists of a five-piece head dress, 50 assorted bangles and a pair of earrings.“I particularly like this collection,” said Lee. “If you look at the bangles individually, their designs are very simple but collectively, though there are a lot of them, it does not look overly dramatic, it feels just right.”When asked if it was heavy to wear all 50 bangles, Wong, who had them on during her Maldives photo shoot, replied, “Perhaps I was too happy so even though it was heavy, I didn’t feel it!”The designs of the headpiece and bangles, which were made from an assortment of gold – white, yellow, rose and champagne – were inspired by a moving episode in Prague.“I was filming in Prague for a long period of time several years back and I felt extremely homesick. To my greatest and most heart-warming surprise, Chris flew my parents over to Prague, and even took great care of them while I was busy filming,” said Wong.“Somehow, the revelation of Chris’ magnitude of love for me ‘opened’ my eyes to the beauty of Prague. The art and design of the Bohemian city suddenly became more romantic, magnificent and inspirational. Perhaps this is what love does to a person’s perception and outlook, and indeed I felt more alive and appreciative of the world around me.”Wong revealed that she decided to add a headpiece to the collection to go with her evening gown which is “more to the Bollywood and English look”.“We wanted a Bohemian look and an Indian look so we decided on a headpiece… You will see the connection when you see my gown on the wedding day,” said Wong who has been very secretive about her two evening gowns.The last collection, Love Lace, a matching cuff and earring set, is representative of Lee’s tireless devotion and love for Wong. The fluid mesh design which resembles lace, is the first of the three collections that Wong designed.Said the actress, “When I started designing this collection, I was thinking of all the little things Christopher has done for me that remind me of his unceasing love, care and devotion.”She added that it is the little gestures like cheering her up when she is down, and taking the effort to ensure that they spend time together despite their busy work schedules, that touched her.“All these gestures may seem natural between a couple and we tend to take things for granted, but his every little gesture adds up to show the depth of his love for me.”And it is not just the bride who gets the bling. Lee too has his very own Starbliss collection which consists of a diamond ear stud and ring.Though they will not be keeping the bridal jewellery, Goldheart will be giving the couple a specially-created Celestial jewellery present for their upcoming nuptials.
