Fragrances
I've got alot of friends asking me about the scents i use and what I would recommend to them.
Ever since i was in secondary school, i started using deodorants, being an active boy, always sweating, i wanted somthing to destroy the odors from sweat, so i started "investing" in my first deodorant spray from slazenger, it was cheap, good and long lasting.
Subsequently, i couldn't find in the markets anymore, the only place that sold it was freaking suntec's carrefour. So i switched to adidas sprays. Adidas deodorants are really expensive considering my usage consumption but i managed to source from a cheaper supplier.
Drodorants, i'll use them during bball sessions or just a quick run to the shop nearby. I always, and i mean ALWAYS use a little deodorant even when i'm just going out for a while. Singapore's weather is a bitch, sun=hot=sweat=smelly, so deodorants are good and cheap ways of smelling nice.
Then after a couple of years, it seemed odd if i keep using deodorants for every occasion. So i started looking into colognes, perfumes, scented water, whatever you wish to call them. I know that each term had a certain percentage of nice smelling agent to be labelled under each category. For this post, i shall call them perfume.
The first perfume i got was hugo boss, boss in motion, the spherical looking thingee whereby you have to press the bottom up to spray a fizz out. I tried it because it was designed for people who sweat alot, like me. But it wasn't that good, i liked it for a while but later found it to be too musky.
Hugo Boss - Boss in Motion - 2*
As i grew fatter and worked out less, i looked at perfumes that were less "athletic" and more casual. Thats when i found one of my all time favourite. Escada Sentiment. The male's scent is the one in the dark red bottle. When i first used that, i knew then it would be one of my top few scents. Fruity, light and very alluring.
Escada - Sentiment - 4 and a half*
When i got together with june, i was introduced to Calvin Klein and Kenzo perfumes. She has been using CK Be coz its probably one of the few perfumes that come in 200ml bottles. It was all right, standard scent nothing much to shout about. Then on one of my birthdays, she got me CK Truth, an oddly shaped bottle slanted to one side. I did not really like CK Truth the initial few sprays, but the thing about CK Truth is that it gets to you, the scent wearer, not sure how others would feel. CK Truth was quite musky with wood spices. I tried CK Eternity soon after, not the regular Eternity that looks very much like pee but Eternity Summer ! Oh yes, the summer editions of CK Eternity is good. Very fresh, very medowy feel and lasts long too. But the thing about CK Eternity summer, ever year they come out with a different summer scent, although the scent is about the same for year 2007 and 2008, this year's scent was slightly different, more flora, slightly muskier. I got another CK perfume last year, given to me by my uni friends, i have yet to open and try it as i've got alot of currently opened and unused ones.
Calvin Klein - Be - 2 and a half *
Calvin Klein - Truth - 3*
Calvin Klein - Eternity Summer - 4*
Calvin Klein - in2U - unknown (not yet tested)
Kenzo perfumes, i'm only a user of one, which is Kenzo Air. Very very light scent, not musky at all, goes well with casual clothes on a sunny day.
Kenzo - Air - 3 and a half*
I tried my first "slightly" more expensive perfume, Bvlgari. A couple of years back, Bvlgari introduced their new scent, Bvlgari Aqua. Shaped like a pebble, i bought one without much consideration. It was good ! It was slightly muskier than my usual perfumes,aquatic and more distinct and has a very unique smell. Justifies the price.
Bvlgari - Aqua - 4*
Another perfume that got my attention when it was first introduced was DKNY's Be Delicious, i know many of you know it as the "apple" perfume. Yes, the bottle is shaped like an apple, like the Big Apple, New York. If i remembered it correctly, it was formulated to give off the New York scent, what ever that scent is. I got light green bottle one, but i do prefer the female version, the one in red, not pink, but red. Intense fruity smell. One of my favourites. Expensive though, but it justisfies the price too.
Donna Karen New York - Be Delicious - 4 and a half*
I have a couple more scents not opened yet. Some are gifts and some i have yet to try it out.
Mont Blanc, Hilfiger, Esprit.
I am currently using rotating the use of 3 different scents now, CK Eternity Summer, Escada Sentiment and Kenzo Air.
There are perfumes that i would like to buy and try, but have yet to. On top of that list is Polo Double Black. I have a small 10ml tester, it got me on my first spray. Then there is the Burberry collection, with their signature checkered design. I would also like to try the very famous davidoff Cool water, as well as Diesel Fuel for Life.
Perfume for females, I'd probably give my top 5 perfumes that i like. To smell that is.
1) Polo Ralph Lauren - Romance, no doubt about it, one of the best women's frangrances around. Very suitable for "pak-toring" girls and fresh grads going into the work force.
2) DKNY - Be Delicious, refer to above
3) Chanel - No5, yes, this kick ass perfume if suitable for those high power execs with domineering prescence.
4) Issey Miyake - L'eau d'Issey, because my ex girlfriend used this and i liked it.
5) Bvlgari - Blv Notte Pour Femme, seductive, sensual leaking femininity
So, what kind of fragrance are you using ?

So, what kind of fragrance are you using ?
small
I feel tired, this sudden overwhelming shag-ness sets in my bone.. i'm tired from teaching tired for being patient with kids .. i want to quit but the money is too good for me to refuse .. oh my god ! i feel so small now .. so insignificant ..
Too much gaming
I've had too much gaming this past few days, but nonetheless, i got back that fantastic feeling in counterstrike with jason and brian. I think if we had the addition of pork in the team, it would be fantastic !
Got sunburnt while playing ball 2 days back at jurong. thats fucked up.
Looking forward to this sunday for more gaming.
I must be going crazy

Japanese Drama
I know i know, the "in" people now are the koreans. Yes, they do have their fair share of pretty babes, like my favourites,
Like i said, although the Korean craze is on now, never forget the godfather of drama serials, the Japanese.
Jjang Nara
and Jeon Ji Hyun
but the thing is, before the Koreans "came into power", the Japs ruled the airwaves in my growing years. You see i'm a late bloomer for Japanese drama shows, when i was younger growing up in the early 90s, my sis would always be tuning in to these Japanese shows, by Kimura Takuya as well as Sorimachi Takashi. and i would be like .. whatever .. you know, shooting hoops or exercising got most of my attention then. My sis would be a fan of these japanese drama serials when subsequently buy the DVDs and stuff.
Just recently, after packing up my overly clustered room, I saw these DVDs stacked in the corner of the cupboard, there were loads of them ! I took them out, and immediately recognised a couple, like Majo no Jouken the show where by the teacher falls in love with the student. Super popular during that time and i remember watching bits and pieces of it. I singled out a couple of shows and asked my sister which one i should watch first.
i watched this first coz the story line got my attention, and its probably one of the few shows that i vividly remember from last time. It was good, some love story shit. I'm not usually a big fan of love stories but this one was good. And to top that off, the show featured the super chio Matsushima Nanako
This was a recommendation from my sister, I popped in the first disc and never stopped. It was considered quite a feat coz I am teaching, schooling and working now. This show featured the super cute Yamaguchi Tomoko.
My god ! I love it when she smiles ! Long Vacation also features the younger Kimura Takuya falling in love with the older Yamaguchi Tomoko. This show also featured a stellar soundtrack with the ledgendary Anna and David's Here we are again. Link to this song here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mutbjqB5glo i've uploaded the song to share it with everyone !
Now, after watching this two shows, it sparked my interest in Japanese Drama and I now understood what the fuss was all about in the past. These shows were suprisingly good ! It featured good love stories as well as original humour, not some lame shit we get now with the koreans. I still love Jjang Nara and Jeon Ji Hyun though (:
Another thing to note, this two shows had relationships with a younger guy with an older woman. It really got me thinking about my past relationship with June. Thinking how nice it would be to have a happy ending like the shows. But hey .. no one remains a virgin right ? Everyone gets fucked by life one way or another.
Another recommendation by my sister, this show is light hearted and it is full of soul. This one stars the cute Hirosue Ryoko
as well as Sorimachi Takashi and Takenouchi Yutaka. Its about escaping from the hectic city life to a simple beach life. Super good show for stressed out people. Best of all, it is set in the beach ! Takashi Sorimachi is super funny in this show. Beach Boys also potrays the warmth of family and loved ones.
After beach boys, i thought no other shows would get me interested enough to watch them. Then came along GTO - Great Teacher Onizuka.
Starring the funny Sorimachi Takashi as Onizuka ! Man .. this show is good and suprisingly different from the first 3 i've watched. Onizuka's violent way of handling things without compromising his passion for teaching and his sole purpose to help students really hits the spot.
Some shows i took longer than others due the my conflicting schedule, but anyway, i've finished them all in perhaps a span of 2 months.
Like i said, although the Korean craze is on now, never forget the godfather of drama serials, the Japanese.
So, Japanese or Korean girls ?
You Decide !

I finally finished first season of Gossip girl. Looking forward to the next. I'm also looking forward to my name is earl, chuck, heroes as well.
Bought a new watch, hugh kick ass watch at super cheap price.
I've been going for alot of feet massages recently. One word - Heavenly !
I think Jenn from MRA and IM is super cute and she has husky voice ! haha
Peiying just broke up with her boyfriend, i feel for her after going through what i've been through.
Its been quite some time since i've watched a movie.
Pork has been really busy these few weeks, have not met up with him even once for 3 weeks going 4.
Regular Left 4 dead sessions still on. More with brian and jason recently.
Going for tuition in 3 hours time, seriously considering a feet massage before that.
Oh well..
