Pocolento Blows A Candle!

At last, Pocolento blows its first ever candle!

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to Poco.. A.. Poco .......
Happy Birthday to you!

However you sing it it's ok! It's just a way to recognise the presence of this blog! I've had quite a number of blogs, but all of them had only little number of completed posts. One of them was specially made for a person whom I had special feeling for. The others were simply just blogs as they are. So I guess Pocolento will have a long live! As a cybergift for little poco, here's a special birthday post! If you want to give him a gift of heart as well, you may click on the left ad and visit the site! (hehehe)

So for the last 365 days, I've created 73 entries. These 73 entries weren't here just as they did. I spent time and effort, ok! So let's pick out what's worth mentioning:

Top 10 Most Memorable Posts

Here are the top 10 most memorable posts. They're not ranked, so every post is just as worthy to remember. And those entries that are not chosen here don't mean they're bad or not memorable but, well, just that these are the MOST memorable!

Happy Fathers' Day (View)

Just recently, my family and I went to celebrate Fathers' Day at Marche. Had a great meal and also, enjoyed a great created scene. A couple, who had left an abundance of food on their table during their buffet session and left for good, got scolded by the restaurant's manager. Interesting yea? But what's more interesting in the post is that - at the begining of the post there're a few short paraphrases that described my joy of being the first-time owner of the new Chevrolet - somehow got misunderstood by really many friends who questioned my ability, while others blinked again and again the green, green eyes.

Perhaps they didn't understand this 3rd para - ...in greatness and fanfare, which no doubt... has nullified all the aforementioned inverted facts in the statement full of prevarication given my current state and capacity in apparency. I shall once again introduce to you the new Chevrolet NA a.k.a the Chevrolet N/A. I saw at a huge mall btw. I shall now disect them.

nullified all the aforementioned inverted facts - All lies!
in the statement full of prevarication - All lies again!
given my current state and capacity in apparency - My financial ability as a student, how far can it go?
Chevrolet N/A - N/A = NOT APPLICABLE
I saw it at a huge mall! - should i also explain this?

So now may I have the honour to declare - I ain't the owner! Phew...

Trip to Genting Highland(View)

A recent trip to Genting with my parents in May 08. Nice video!

Botak Jones (View)

This was my first time dining at Botak Jones and I didn't really find it good, probably because of the sickness the 0.5KG of beef gave me. Someone even called these three patties 'a pile of poo'.

Labrador's And My Unique Visitors(View)

Trip to Labrador Park at Pasir Panjang for an overnight camp with fellow khakis. A memorable local vacation! Plus an introduction of the voices behind the MRT announcements and some artistic photographs.

1998 2008 9808 (View)

Why all numbers? Come, let me explain.

1998 and 2008 are the years and 2008 being this year, 1998 is of course exactly ten years ago. So 9808 was used to contrast the ten-year period. Partly, the usage of numbers comes from the idea which created the movie '881'. Quite a special post, cos' quite emo yea? All about childhood. Do read it!

New Hairstyle, Somehow (View)

I went for a haircut that morning and had expected a new hairstyle, which later turned out to be of otherwise - not much of a change. Then later, while on my way to other places I met a blind man with a stick who later, surprisingly, showed me the directions when I, a tall man without the stick, should be the one doing it.

Meat Your Meat, Anyone? (View)

I had a day of vegetarian diet which I had long ago wanted to have, just that I lacked commitment. So a very special day to commemorate. But sadly, after this day I've never given myself another chance to the next vege-day. But having done so for once, I have ever since, notably, been consuming less of meat items. Yes, much less.

This effort comes by the fact that our poor animals are really suffering, and they will forever be. I just don't agree that human beings think we have the RIGHTS to eat them. Just a privilege. We fear slashes on our throats and so will they. Everyone feels the pain just as we do. What's more, they suffer more than just these slashes, but during and throughout their lives in the cages. So at our part, let's appreciate ok? If you can't skip.

A Trip To USA(View)

For the first time, i had a trip to USA! But before you start your green eyes rolling, let me tell you a fact: It's a virtual trip!

So literally (and virtually) I became the character, CJ (herein 'I'), in the game, GTA san andreas. I drove quite some luxury cars to wherever furthest the map allowed me to do so. There were many places of interests that you may want to see. Though it's a virtual tour, I enjoyed! You too, I hope.

NDP NE Show 3 (View)

For the first time, I volunteered to become a Bay Ambassador for the NDP 07. During the rehearsals, I went to many primary schools on different saturdays and escorted them to the venue. So for this school, Grace Orchard, the students are ain't any normal counterparts. They are mildly disabled. More memorable was that they could relate to you very well although I was just by their sides for less than half a day. It's the hearts that did the trick, I thought.

NDP 2007 (View)

Actual day of NDP after so many rehearsal (more than 5). I would say dealing with the public was much more difficult that those cheeky little P5 children. Every little nuts could well become their main subject for complaints, frustrations, and grudges. All these, however, had turned out to be a good experience (once-in-a-lifetime perhaps) with all the fellow bay ambassadors. Our fun never ends, but sadly, our ties did.

Happy birthday, Pocolento!
