The power of time

Location: Dining room
Mood: Very full from Stevie's Nando's
Sights and sounds: Dim Sum Dollies, SIA Girls, Youtube

While browsing through dad's flickr page, (http://www.horsoonsphotography.blogspot.com/ and http://www.flickr.com/people/horsoon/) I found myself traveling in memory lane as i saw pictures of me and my family over the years. I then realize how much i have changed from an innocent child to the problematic youngster unsure of his sexual orientation till so far, today; erm..haha i don't know how to describe the recent me..most probably a few years later i'd laugh at whatever i'm doing right now :)

Here are some pics of me and my family 9 years ago.
(Stevie said i look a bit Beng but.. a true person treasures his past! :P)







By the way, Chrystal wasn't born by then.


9 Years Later........


The 3 of us. Catherine, Casey and Chrystal





Me and grandpa

Spot the change!

Cheat or no cheat

Location: Bedroom
Mood: Energetic
Sights and sounds: All dressed in love, Jennifer Hudson

Was browsing profiles on axcest not too long ago... 25 pages matching my search criteria! It seems everybody is looking for love these days. Looking through them,I noted a few all–too–familiar faces. Some of whom I know have had boyfriends for several years, yet their status still brands them as “Single”. I can safely say that not all “single” men online are truly what they claim to be.

The word “cheat” is a silly one, for it is culturally centered. It implies that we have violated the rules of the game called Relationship. Why do men cheat? or to be general, why do people cheat? Is it because the risk of being caught made cheating so appealing? Or simply because we can never have enough?

If only we could be brutally honest to ourselves, we would then acknowledge that we are by nature, attracted to more than one individual even we are in the most romantic relationship. Fairytale-like love stories aside, this is not an infringement of any pledge of love made to our lover. It's just natural intuition. Hello, if this is not the case, what are porn for? Does watching porn while having a relationship considered cheating, if one would inevitably assume the term "love' is something ENTIRELY a one-to-one basis activity.

Again, we see ourselves landed in the question of definition. What are the boundaries and how do we consider ourselves cheating or being cheated? Definition of cheat varies from couple to couple. Some might think having three-ways and orgies a way of exploring each other better, some think having an open relationship works better and some would simply regard watching other men engaged in sexual activity an offense.

In a world full of temptations and offers, it's vitally important for couples to have adequate communication and understanding over the issue of cheating and set clear rules so that we do not cross boundaries and eventually hurting the relationship.

Jalan What?

Location: Study room
Mood: Shocked
Sights and sounds: Sound of Zoe barking downstairs

Even Kuala Lumpur may soon loose it's name forever in a matter of time if authorities are not concerned over the concept of preserving history.

The recent controversy over the name change of Jalan Alor to Jalan Kejora is another, in my point of view attempt made by some 'somewhere-ranked' officers 'Upstairs' to do some publicity work. Too similar to the entertainment industry, minus the elegant and handsome faces, replaced by some rotting and restless politician uncles. Namely Uncle Mohd Amin Nodin Abdul Aziz. Now, the whole Malaysia and beyond recognizes him! what a successful marketing plan.

Although i've never fancied eating along Jalan Alor, but i'm sure it somehow portraits the exotic Malaysian cuisine. It is a vital part of Kuala Lumpur's history and that title doesn't come easy. The sudden change of it's name after being recognized as the eating place for more than 30 years now by both tourists and locals is certainly unfair and ridiculous. To make matters worse, the authority actually secretly changed the road sign overnight without proper notice and agreements with the locals!

Uncle Amin quoted :"Names are changed to avoid confusion of postmen." Well, very thoughtful of him over our postmen; but how about our tourists? Nobody will be delighted if Eiffel tower is renamed something else in order to 'stay align with the themed neighbourhood', as proposed by City hall to name streets in neighbourhoods according to themes. i.e. Stars, Fruits, Animals...etc. Where on earth did someone came out with such idea?

This shows that Malaysia has very little history background and is not interested in preserving any in future.

FAYE

I've been listening to Faye wong's songs rather frequent lately; not only does it made it's way to the 'top 25 most played' list in my iTunes in no time, I've even started to resemble her as the asian version of Madonna! Thanks to Stevie for playing her songs on almost every trip on his car and whoalla..I'm her new fan!

Lately i've been admiring all these 'older artistes' and my friends started to complain whenever they borrowed my iPod or while playing around with my phone. Well, perhaps i've just grown older! (wiser too, i hope)

One of my favourite:
Heard it before back in the 90s i think. I felt so excited listening to it again a few days ago :)



Prefer the canton version as the mandarin version sounded weird.
