Every girl's Valentine's Day gift

Valentine's Day is just less than a month away. Are you guys out there exhausting your brain juices to come up with the most original Valentine's Day gift for your girl? Here's a suggestion, if you can play an instrument or sing, you might want to consider singing "Don't Change by Musiq" to her on Valentine's Day. If, for some reason you are not musically talented, you could make a dedication instead.

Couple of reasons why I think this song would be perfect:

It has a perfect soothing tune
It is probably be everything you will want to tell your girl
Most importantly, I'm sure your girl will be moved to tears because everything that is mentioned in the song will touch her heart

Take a listen to the song here.

Have also attached the lyrics for you to accelerate your learning ^_^

Lately you've been, questioning
if i still see you the same way
cuz through these trying years
we've, more then both physically changed
Dont you know youll always be the most
beautiful woman i know
so let me reassure you darling, that
my feelings are truly unconditional, see

I'll love you when you hair turns gray, girl
I'll still want you if you gain a little weight, yeah
the way i feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change

no, I was meant for you, and you were meant for me, yeah
And i'll make sure that i'll be everything you need, yeah
Girl the way we are is how its gonna be
Just as long as your love don't change

Cuz, im not impressed, more or less
by them girls on the tv and magazines
Cuz honestly i beleive, that
your beauty is way more then skindeep
Cuz everything about you makes me feel
I have the greatest gift in the world
And even when you get on my last nerve
I couldnt see myself being with another girl

I'll love you when you hair turns gray, yeah
I'll still want you if you gain a little weight, yeah
the way i feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change,

no, I was meant for you, and you were meant for me, yeah
And i'll make sure that i'll be everything you need, yeah
Girl the way we are is how its gonna be
Just as long as your love don't change

So, dont waste your time
Worry about
Small things that aint relevant to me
Cuz, to my, understanding, your all i want and need

See, what im done say is im here to stay
And as long as you love doesnt change, for me
Baby, darling i swear, that i, i swear i aint going no where

I'll love you when you hair turns gray, girl
I'll still want you if you gain a little weight, yeah
the way i feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change,

I was meant for you, and you were meant for me, yeah
And i'll make sure that i'll be everything you need, yeah
Girl the way we are is how its gonna be
Just as long as your love don't change (ad libs)

Fantastic Offer not to be missed!

Anyone looking to buy a property in one of the most exclusive locations in Singapore?

My apartment in Tanjong Rhu Road is up for grabs. It is located 10 minutes away from Suntec City and has lots of investment potential. With the city at arm's reach, you get to save a pretty nifty amount on transportation and commuting time. There are also private chartered buses that will take you to town or Parkway Parade at intervals throughout the whole day.

If you have been to Tanjong Rhu before, you would have noticed that it is surrounded by Kallang river, is breezy and green, with a jogging path along the river. Many expats love to live in this area partly because of it's location and also because of it's exclusiveness. Alrighty, I shall not rattle on too much, promoting my place. Take a look at it here and see if you like it.

Do pick up the phone and contact my agent if it is to your liking. ^_^

World's Worst World of Warcraft Launch Party

Been a while since I last posted an entry. Been extremely busy since I got back to Singapore to settle the remaining scraps (selling of house, car, packing, my dog, etc..) before I make my final move to Aberdeen, UK.

The days back here have been erratic. For one, I had a damn severe jet lag which lasted for about a week, so I was a walking zombie by day and a wide-eyed maniac by night. Had to pay a high price for that though - just make sure you check out my dark eye rings and eye bags when you meet me and you know what I mean ^_^

So, what have I done since my return which was most rewarding? In actual fact, before my return to Singapore, I placed an order for 2 pre-order redemption cards for the long-awaited game of the year - World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. Burning Crusade is the expansion to the game with millions of players worldwide. Without a doubt, I am one of them - though I stopped my subscription for about 3 months before I reactivated it again prior to the launch of Burning Crusade on 16 January 2007. The launch in Singapore was held at Suntec City - the vacant area outside of Carrefour.

When I first realised that the greatest game in the world was going to have a launch in here in Singapore, I was doubtful that it will be a success - especially when it is held at such a public place, instead of an exclusive party for the gamers =( Still, I was hopeful nonetheless.

Upon arrival at the launch, all my excitement just vanished into thin air. Why? Thousands were already in the queue for the redemption of the game. It was just insane. I mean, I have already paid and collected my redemption cards and now I have to queue again for what seemed like hours - the spiral queue led all the way to the outside of the shopping complex, into the bright hot sun!!

At 1pm, the game was officially launched with a disgraceful, nonsensical, lame skit of a Night-Elf MAGE and a Human WARLOCK. When I saw the skit, I did not know whether to laugh or to cry. For those of you who play the game, you would know that there is no such thing as a Night-Elf Mage!!! Also, mages do not use Swords!! and there is no such spell as the Mage Blade!!! I took a short snippet of the skit for you to better visualise my anguish.

Sigh... I'm sure many WoW fans who were at the launch would have been disappointed. Oh.. maybe all except for one guy. There was this guy who was in the queue since 10pm the night before (the launch was scheduled for 1pm on 16 Jan 2007), so yes, he stayed there the whole night. He emerged the ultimate winner as being the first in the queue. And, guess what were his rewards? A collector's edition of the World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade and a World of Warcraft Boardgame. Apart from the games, he probably got some media attention and all, but, what the hell.. 15hours for this??? He better be a freaking god-damn good WoW player, fully geared with epics from head to toe.

Will try to blog a little more in the coming weeks. Stay tuned..
