Why search the prefect

A few pics will be up but all have been on Facebook. To be a little faster and systematic this is most of my Jan 09'.

Many chill out days with baby, a photoshoot with her for my school's magazine, theme about Love. Skipping of school for other plans and rest. Out with family and once together with my sister's bf and others.

10th - Mark's place for his 21st.

My Birthday - 18th Jan
Day 1 of it - Family to Malaysia, JB took the MRT, Bus and the Railway(KMT) it was a surprise by my family. Tricked me to wake up at 7am, took me to the Gardens market for Breakfast, asked me to take along my bag and taadaa we are going to Malaysia, did not see how it will be much of my day as my sis will be the one enjoying all the shopping alongside my mum haha. But it was pretty much all good. Good affordable food, got a pair of limted Nike Air Jordans and tops, tried the train for the 1st time, overall the adventure was good. Oh and by the time we arrived back home, along the way down the lane, midnight strike happy birthday to me was while I was walking back home, how odd or funny was that and for the record it is the 1st time is many years I'm out on my birthday at 12midnight. The usual celebration came, cut the cake, made a wish and opened the presents oh as if it was Christmas. Thank you, Mum, Dad and Sis for making it all good. The effort was better I must say usually it's just lunch or dinner. Haha. Love you'all. Special thanks to my mum and sis for the idea. To my dad and mum for the pair of shoes. Great stuff.

Day 2 (actual day) - Full day out with love. Despite sleeping late my alarm clock happen to do its job real well, maybe I was looking forward in many ways with baby aye. Got up about 6plus to attend 7am mass and my mum came along with me, thanks for always being there! Thereafter, it was already time to head off to meet her, Volvo Ocean Race was what we needed to catch early as they planned to head off by 10am, got there on time and it was really nice and something real new to see there, 1st time by Singapore and is already in the list probably by SSC to host it here. Great place Sentosa Cove. Was able to be a little more proud of Singapore because of the awesome plan by baby, which allowed me to complete what Sentosa had installed for many years and finally I am taken to it. Took,visited,climbed, enjoyed,experienced, learnt and what not for all the stops we made.

More than 12hrs out in the sun, moving around, taking lotsa photos and so on wasnt all that easy after many hours caused me a bad headache and runny nose during the night pains me to spoil the plan! Pls no more of this headaches for me man, argh. Sorry my love, but I have to say lucky it was till the end of all the places we went so that it wasnt much of any waste. At the last hour of my birthday itself I returned home only to cherish everything that was done for me. I recieved a card from YV too when I arrived back thank you all so much. I must say I am alittle disappointed you guys werent part of it more so it was a Sunday and I could remember NYNY for Mark and I too last year. Though, I was busy or if there was a plan in the first place but thanks much for all those wishes which came in non stop from you members of Yv. Belated!? Haha. Hints.

Thanks to all for the many wishes be it by SMS, FB wall and msg, all the other modes and personal wishes, thank you.

Big huge thanks to family and my love Sinyee.

Thank you love, the plan, effort, presents oh they are good/useful stuff! The thought the amount of time off you took before the day itself and on the day itself where you always place that smile on my face, nose running, head spinning but the smile still on because of you my sweetheart lover girl. Even forced yourself for the Insect kingdom really appreciated, all in the name of what I enjoy and like. Big hugs and sincere kisses. My mum too must have thought you done well for bringing her boy out for the whole day enjoying which made me skip school the next day recovering for sleep! Winks.

Now to all other friends for the Jan babies. Happy birthday to Mitch, Aud, Sheryl, Mark, Bowen, Lydia, Xiu Qi and Daryl.

Ended Year 2 - 23rd Jan

24th @ Timbre with the boys and my girl for the belated celebration of my birthday and the coming for Daryl's. Good'o time and gather the army talk between the guys who hasnt entered and so on. Thanks baby for following and blending in with my list of the closer guy friends. So when with all your pretty lady friends huh? Oops. Timbre wasnt all that good, the service greeted me oddly and it seems to have some security issues either than that band was 3 stars and food was 3.5 out of 5.

CNY 25th - Reunion, 26th and 27th - Visits. Had a long visit at each house which cut the other visits down which mean less people met and less Ang Bao and also meant more munching of goodies when the boredom kicks in, skinny me but poor fatty tummy. Good gathers, some bad politics and readings of people and from people but damn that and remain positive. 27th, glad that my uncle is fine from his operation, family friend and to Sarah's. Good time catching up pretty much just with Sarah and Jared but good and many rounds of blackjack with the rest, Earned some and shared some, haha not many will agree with the shared part though haha and an invisible uncle Eddie.

So what's next? A few Bday Parties, Valentines, family trip to Hong Kong and that's about it for now, I hope to have more though. Being busy can be less tiring than just slacking. 24 series is still the addiction, 3 more seasons to go, do the math.

For my Baby Boy : Justin Choo JW TX

Sign Off: Your Baby! Loves <3

2 decades.

Well well the year 2008 has come to an end and I welcome 2009. I cannot deny that I am as excited as afraid for what it is ahead. With year 3, its modules and the final year projects. Family and love ones in bond and understanding as well as friends. It may be the usual stuff to worry about however, these issues can break or make me. Friends in itself has been tricky for me for many years and I am sure for the many years to come. Trust is an issue and I hope my good will or generousity will not be taken as weaknesses because there you might be wrong.

2008 ended and what came into my mind wasnt just the fact of what it is to come in 2009 because I compared it with 2007 and some years back, say a five-year kinda like assessment of value for those years. It turned out to be, I may have better years than 2008 but the fact is those year behind was when I was still in my teenage happy go lucky way of life. Deeper I thought of them the more I find out, I am stronger maybe not in term, physically because that is what I have to work on, appearantly, my skin condition and laziness got the better of me, but I must say it has to change. Moving on, I realized I was able to pick up my mistakes, be angry with it for awhile and then just move on from it, such as my past, the many things I left behind, unspoken and also some of the failures of my education route. I stood up from all my falls and it would be the same for any other falls.

Last year, I entered into Year 2 of my polytechnic life with modules which were of my course, Biomedical Electronics. It freaks the hell out of me because I know it is going to take up a hell of my determination to sit through every lesson moveover, with PP to think of. But in tne same year I walked along with my girlfriend who has been pretty much my motivation together with my mum and dad. I thank the grace that they passed on to me to try and transform anything negatives to otherwise. The 1st semester, I was hit hard by the reality of what I am pursuing, advance math, electronics and programming codes ( I am not going to be some electronics man nor a nerdy computer fella, no offence to those people it these field but heads up to them because it takes so much effort and intelligence to do so. I just want to place my own intelligence into something I find more interesting to me and stirve to be better at it.) My class then was not helping nor were the facilitators. Sem 2 was a little better but I cannot be for sure since I have got another 3 weeks to go with the final UT4 coming up. I am proud that I have completed my module, Professional Profiling which took me a few occasions of late nights to fulfill it. I did it with effort, made appointments for needed interviews be it face to face or online, kept close to the main objectives and set my own, I pass. Not a surpise for many because it seemed like it was difficult to fail, but in my own mind, I did it well with no room for slacking and that's all that matters.

My family bonds are a slight better, way way way better compared to my secondary section of my life. We hang out every Sunday and other days if possible. My mum and dad are the ones I really have to thank to see me through. Times when I am down, sick or stressed up with daily issues. They may not always have the understanding as I want them to have but it worked anyway. The huge amount of gifts, funds/allowance in freedom and money terms are great, though I do have some complains but I see the unconditional love placed it, simple example would be my mum messaging me always keeping an eye out for me knowing me best. Dad, always there to drive me, make appointments for me and so on. My sis, she is caught up with her own route of life but we do share some laughter too. Thanks family, I love you.

My girlfriend, Sinyee. A gift when I entered poly. Now becoming more and more like my pillar, the times we share, the love that grew and still growing/maturing. No matter what she was there for me to talk too, every single night even if we spent the whole day together. I was afraid to loose my friends at first, well friend by themselves do have their own lives and they werent there like she was always. Anyhow, true friends will remain and I will do the same. Baby did not directly taught me to be strong or helped me face to face with my life management but indirectly I was stronger, a better planner in my things I should do, well I am still working on it. But I placed in more effort to take my time of for things to help balance time for her which will eventually effect me in making time for friends and family too. Helped made decisions for me, was there to give support, with others not mentioned here, she just made me a better boyfriend, a man who will share his life with the one he loves. In addition, to always give me my comfort zone, being myself as I need to be and for adding laughter always, like "Smell my armpits move!"(Inside joke and more.) Thanks baby, I love you. Kisses and great tight hugs. Have a great year ahead with you alright. Be it less time or some struggles we must overcome them and also realise anything before to prevent any interference to happen in the first place. Smiles. Oh and for teaching me how to say I Love You and mean it (remember I did not say it on the first day we got together, nor the first or second month even!, Heh!) Winks. I mean it even more now since then as we are moving on together.

The year ended for me with a great Christmas week as well that shall be in another post soon.

Though I did not celebrate the New Year's like how eveybody might think I should have. It was some reflection time for me, I did not go out nor did I spend it with baby or even a full house family but I relaxed and await the new stage/s in my life low key because there's no point being in a crowd with full of friends but yet feel lonely or afraid inside, facing it with slience and reflection may might as well be the first thing to do for then the real party will come later. I do not have much resolutions to make because I will fall so disappointed if I do not fulfill it, so right now the best thing for me is to foresee, take it as it is, respond in the best possible way, leave what others might think about me because it will be a waste of my time thinking about thiers, remain focus, give commiteement to the priorties and to actually think more of myself than I should think for for others. Not in a way whereby, not helping the poor or anything. I am saying not to be over friendly and get backstabbed, for a lack of a better sentence and to enjoy each day, cherish the people I care about and induldge in the simple things I come across and reach for higher heights in all positive terms. To decelerate on negative thinking and wrongdoings. The final year in poly will choose the route I may take in future and I must know it and face it with a bright and happy face for better is what I must become. Happy New Year everyone. Priase God for all His grace and let Him be known to the world which is suffering or in one way or another.

My smelly Bloster! Was my funny gift from my mum, I had it ever since preschool or younger, at that time, I couldnt get anywhere without it. I use to kiss it all the time in some funny way, my dad from there thinks I am going to be a naughty boy to the girls in future. Haha. Gross but true, the smell is bad already though, stained and my nose bleed, drools from years ago I guess! Thanks though, the memories without worries.

Midnight mass with family, thereafter the meet ups with church friends and YV. Back home to celebrate with my family then headed on to Freeman's place to catch up and stayed over. It was all good and it was nice to have alittle chat with them besides the fact that the army talk can get a litte inconsiderate.

Days before, worked with baby, chilled around had some good time chatting around her neighbourhood talking about how we met and so on, shy, funny and really nice oh naughty too. Met her cousin and her friend as baby told me they want to check me out, approval I guess huh? Haha. Nice to meet. Eve of Christmas eve was nice working with baby, the laughter and all. Wed, With family, good time driving, checking out the East Coast pit, getting food and preparing, met baby in the evening to get her presents for my family and I, thanks. Played this game baby passed to me, got my family to play it, had a fun time and changed up for mass, went early caught the Chior performing and finally got seats this time.

Gifts from YV. Thanks all really appreciate it esp those good effort cards adressed with well words.

The fifth year this little girl celebrates with us, inpecting our gifts and joining in.

Brandon, well written and pleasant gift from baby who do not regliously celebrate Christmas anyways. Thanks love! When NUM and this bear came about I thought it was quite funny and didnt mind having it since then, baby remembered and listened well, got it. Haha. He sleeps beside me and will be taken care of. Ha.

Was a little disappointed Ididnt have the chance to help out in the decor in church. I was part of it for 2 years but last year I didnt hear of it but anyways it was really well done.

The gifts to unwrapped, really nice.

At uncle Mike's my mum's brother, sure they know each other very well, they got each other the items from the same designer! It was a good laugh and I looked at my sister and told her not to give me the same gift I give you, man imagine I gave my sister a bear collection or something, wouldnt want that. Haha. But it clearly shows the love for my mum and my uncle, nice. That same night is a yearly affair for meeting up and celebrate with my relatives, ate, caught up watched tv so on, it was a good crowd and it was pleasant.

This tree is designed in this way, no tricks with it being up side down. Great stuff and my dad seems to like it much too. At my uncle's place.

Yes yes the yearly affair of my family after Christmas mass. I remember most of my years doing this. Awesome time opening up all the gifts and it was really nice to see all of them including myself smile, having a good time. My savings, effort, thought and time did not go to waste. Thanks to baby for being part of the decision for them, guess they like it.

JTX, sounds firmiliar? Well yes, it's me, Justin Tristan Xavier. The tee says it. Designed by my bud and plain tee credits to Topman. Awesome idea and creative as always.

Got this F1 jacket! I lost my perivous Mclauren one through the flight to Texas few years back, though it is different, I quite like it and it will cost a lot in the near future I am thinking, Thanks mum.

26th! A day I've been planning for for awhile as well. My baby's birthday, I remembered what we did the year before of course and wanted it to be a little more outdoor-ish this time. Not knowing if she will like it but I went on with my feelings on the idea.

A camp out @ East Coast!

Booked a pit settled all I needed for it, including the food and cake.

Bought a tent, brought extra clothes.

Settled the presents, funny ones and the grand one.

Suprised her with planning along with her close friends.

Got my dad to suprise her when she met not only me but my dad to give her a car ride to the location and while on the way there she could only think of where I was bringing her to. Came out of the car at east coast told her I booked a pit and showed her the tent! Haha. Mad idea I guess but as long as she enjoyed it was worth everything.

My mum and dad got involved quite a bit, such as buying the items needed and allowing the stay thinking more on her parents allowance side, big thanks to my mum and dad really for their support, time and effort. Shows quite a lot in my relationship with baby. Open her presents in the tent we had no problems pitching the tent except for those troublesome insects we had to relocate. Got her a few funny gifts like Doramon DIY painting, Donkey cards, bubbles and water bubbles with a toy gun to keep ourselves entertained as well oh and even a set of pink folk, spoon and knife for the bbq and happy birthday plates. Haha I cant believe myself sometimes buying all that. BBQ and thats about the time I got a terrible headache, spoilt my mood for a bit obviously because I wanted baby to have a great time with me, actually didnt eat much, it was a waste since the hotdogs and chicken was really not too bad, the potatoes too went to waste. Got to nap while baby cleared and cooked up the rest of the food in case it rain. Oh and we both worked very well in starting the fire which was the fun part besides cooking. Had snacks along too and baby love the bacon bits keep munching on them once in awhile and of course the 3/4 the 2 cans of chips were finished by her. Oops. Later in the night about 10 plus, I remain in contact with her friends and there playing cards in the dark in the tent, birthday surprise came up behind her. Thanks to Angeline and Jamie for coming by knowing my plan in short notice and knowing how far, they still came and made it and added a better time for my love. Hung around and the grand opening of the present I got for her unwrapped! Hope you love it baby, Sony cyber shot camera. Simple and nice one I thought and it had new features too. Enjoy my love. Stayed till the next afternoon, sort of picnic outside for so called breakfast and waited for my dad to send us back to get some rest before we met up again to head over to my friend's place. Lastly, my mum got baby a Feragamo Body wash and my sis got for baby a L'occitane lip bum.

Need to improve for the whole birthday plan was the location nearer to the toilet and lightsticks for the night and maybe some pillows. Lets camp out soon again.

At big man's in the evening, it was a good time just sitting there chit chatting a bit. Didnt do that real catch up but got to know some new faces from RP itself and having baby made the company better, she's actually not scared of dogs at all, just the very loud and noisy ones I guess. Thanks Daryl, I have been going over for your yearly celebration for about 3 to 4 years now, lets carry on! He did this cheers thing with wine and asked everyone to say something and went round in a circle to say it, I usually get this only in church and it was really nice to do this kinda cheers and sharing with others not just with catholics.

28th. Sunday a day out with my family, morning mass, Holland V for breakfast/lunch, Dempsey Road for some branded sale. Headed on to little India area, The Verge at Tekka Mall for all sorts of old skool stuff and flowers. Old skool stuff like my childhood days playing with all those games, toy magnet cars, kites and so on. Flowers which my mum love and spent bout just less than a thousand for, goodness! The day dosent just end there, we headed down to China Town area. Had dinner, a good hot claypot chicken rice. Walked across the street and found ourselves interested in some auction. We just stood by with the crowd, in Mandarin the lady presenter spoke, trying to bring life to people in order for higher bids. Biddings were for Chinese embroidery in rosewood looking frames and in big frames too. Knowing my mum would love it. I suddenly just told them I have to sit, funny and sounded as if I was aging too quickly it was a joke of the day. Sat there and started to be in limelight of the crowd there, I actually raised my hand to place my bid, got a challenger so I raised my hand again and to my surprise I got it! Mine, the bigger and nice flower kinda embroidery for my mum. Priceless, somehow that feeling of getting invovled with this kinda thing for the first time, with my own cash and had it. The Frame was really big, pretty heavy but manageable cramped up in the car for home and the week ended, well spent! Best week of my 3 week holidays.

YV. Good to seem most of them. Like the sense of belonging here and there while in church knowing I still belong to a youth community.
