Yew Sue Tan and her 42-year-old husband and 12-year-old daughter had just returned to the shop at 9.20pm when four men on two motorcycles arrived at the shop.
The robbers, all armed with parang, went inside the shop and tried to snatch the girl’s bag.
Yew rushed to help her and was slashed on the head. Her husband was injured when he tried to fight off the robbers.
Yew’s brother Soon Weng, 38, said his brother-in-law carried his wife to the car and drove to the hospital with their daughter.
Yew was pronounced dead on arrival while her husband was said to be in serious condition.

A trip down memory lane (for those who have forgotten)
Two lawyers had been life long friends: they were partners and shared everything , including their hot-blooded secretary.
One day the secretary announced she was pregnant. They told her not to worry and assured her that they would pay all medical costs and would act as co-fathers when the child was born and provide all expenses thereafter.
The day of delivery arrived. Both the lawyers were at the hospital pacing the floor in the waiting room. Finally one of them said, “I can’t take this, I’m going down to sit in my car and wait there. Please come down and tell me as soon as the child is born!”
The partner agreed to do that. About an hour later the partner approached the car with a very grave look on his face.
“What happened ?” asked the waiting car occupant.
The other partner announced, “They were twins and mine died!”
Moral of the story: What are friends for!
And I thot only the Chinese die die want bin-chui (face value).. The blacks are even worse than the Chineze! Damn.. And what the fuck kinda of English are they speaking? Truly blardy Ameri-cunts are killing the

T.I. hasn’t responded yet (he wasn’t involved with the altercation) but Shawty Lo had this to say to MTV:
“Basically, I didn’t start saying anything about Tip,” Lo explained. “I was performing my music. During ‘Foolish,’ all of them was coming in front of the stage doing their mugging. After ‘Dunn, Dunn,’ I performed the dis record ‘Don’t I.’ That’s what made perform the dis record. I ain’t gonna lie; they was disrespecting me. I wasn’t gonna let them disrespect me.”

The hottest couples don’t just have great sex — they have embarrassing sex, and make-up sex, and wild, can’t-walk-the-next-day sex, and more. And the thing is, every kind of sex is crucial for your bond — yes, even couldn’t-quite-stay-awake- to-finish sex. Here’s how.
Sure, you and your guy have good sex. Ideally, you have fantastic sex, as often as possible. But there’s more to a solid sex life than just straight-up great sex. A truly amazing sexual connection encompasses lots of different kinds of sex — maybe even ones you wouldn’t expect. After all, your relationship isn’t one-note, so why should your sex life be? “You change, you age, and you grow as a couple in an emotional and an intellectual way,” says Laura Meers, Ph.D., a psychologist in family practice in
Columbus, OH. “Hopefully you’re growing and changing sexually too. And the more dimensions there are in a relationship in general, the more you will see those dimensions reflected in your sex life.” See which kinds of sex you and your other half have hit so far. As for the ones you haven’t, well … you know what to do.
1. Pushing-Your-Boundaries Sex
There’s nothing like the moment when you’re lying naked with the man you’ve known and loved for a long time, panting and puffing, thinking, Wow, we’ve never done that before.
“People in long-term relationships sometimes crave excitement and stimulation, but don’t know how to get it with their partner,” explains Meers, who adds that this is one of the reasons people stray outside the marriage. “But you can get that in your current relationship by pushing your regular comfort zone.” If you’re used to missionary, that may mean trying a new position or a new room in the house; if you’re used to stimulation by body parts alone, it may be a sex toy thrown in the mix. And if you feel a little anxious about experimenting, says Meers, all the better: “The anxiety you feel about trying something new mimics what happens when you’re with somebody new. So if you can create that feeling within the confines of an intimate, close, trusting relationship, you will keep reenergizing what you have.”
And there’s another important benefit: Pushing your boundaries helps build trust between you. “When you communicate a desire to your partner — and, ultimately, try it — you’re taking a big risk together,” says Anita Clayton, M.D., a professor at the University of Virginia’s Department of Psychiatric Medicine and author of the book Satisfaction. Taking that risk, she says, is a bonding activity in and of itself.
2. Maintenance Sex
Let’s face it — sex just isn’t going to be an eye-gazing spiritual encounter every time. “Some couples think everything has to feel perfect, or you both have to be in a sexual mood to have sex, but if everyone waited for that, sex wouldn’t happen very often at all,” says Clayton. That’s where maintenance sex comes in — when you just do it, even if your engine isn’t necessarily raring for a ride.
Just-for-the-sake-of-it sex is vital to a long-term relationship, because no matter how much you love your family, your friends, or your kids, and no matter how much time you spend with them, you won’t spend time like this with anyone else. “Sex is the one activity a couple has that excludes other people,” says Clayton. “It keeps your bond unique and strong.” By making a habit of it, you’re building regular opportunities for connection into your lives.
Take it from Olivia, 33, a stay-at-home mom in New Jersey who relies on occasional maintenance sex to keep her relationship energized. “My husband always wants to do it, but as a new mom, I’m tired all the time,” says Olivia. “But when I make the effort, I always feel closer to him afterward. Even if the sex is mediocre, it feels like we’ve come together and nothing can get in the way of our relationship.”
And let’s not forget how good regular sex is for you: It relieves stress, it burns calories, and it elevates your mood, says Meers. According to Olivia, it also keeps her sex drive steady: “Doing it sometimes when I’m not in the mood keeps me geared up for something much hotter other times.”
3. Embarrassing-Moment Sex
It’s bound to happen eventually: One of you emits an awkward grunt, your sweat-soaked skin slaps together in a cringe-inducing fashion, or your partner pulls or pushes in such a way as to create a schluup sound that both of you would like to forget. As mortifying as a moment like this may be — even with someone you’ve been with for a long time — it is a good reminder that sex is a raw, Discovery Channel kind of act. It’s not supposed to be flawless. “Sex is full of smells and sights and sounds; it’s natural,” says Debra Herbenick, Ph.D., a researcher for the Kinsey Institute and associate director for the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University. “You’re having sex with human bodies, and they do funny things sometimes, and that’s okay.”
And your ability to deal with a red-in-the-face moment — whether you laugh it off or give each other a sympathetic squeeze — says a lot about the strength of your bond. “True intimacy is about being able to feel comfortable and real with each other in awkward, embarrassing situations,” says Ruth Morehouse, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and marriage and family therapist in Evergreen, CO.
Noelle, a 32-year-old grad student in Washington, D.C., remembers her last embarrassing sex moment: “When my boyfriend pulled out, I had my first ‘queef’ moment, if I can use that word,” says Noelle. “We’d been together two years by then, but we were both stunned and didn’t know what to say. Finally I said, ‘Whoops!’ and we just carried on. I was almost relieved, like it was this big hurdle we finally got out of the way. And because, hey, it’s normal.”
4. Vacation Sex
“My husband and I had the best vacation sex recently in Hawaii,” says Francine, a 36-year-old mother of two from New York City. “We were on the top floor of the resort, so we knew no one was above us to see or hear us. And the room had these huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean. It felt like we were having sex outdoors, but without the nuisance of the sand going up our butts!”
Ah, yes, the turn-on effect of the tropics. And thank goodness for it, because vacation sex is a vital part of a good sex life. “On vacation, you’re at your most carefree, which means you can try new things you won’t have to be accountable for at home,” says Meers. In other words, you can have sex on the beach or in a car, or flirt madly in a restaurant, or, like Francine, have what feels like sex in public — all of which you might not do at home, for fear someone you know would see you or find out. “Taking risks like this adds to the excitement,” says Meers. And ideally, you can bring that burst of excitement back home with you.
The point is, if life in the bedroom is feeling blah, it’s often your surroundings that are getting stale, not your partner. So, if you haven’t had vacation sex lately, do it! You don’t need a plane ticket to get started: “Head to a hotel downtown and call it a vacation,” says Meers, who often recommends vacation sex to her clients. “You can look forward to it and build it up beforehand for even better sex.”
5. Slow-road-to-sleep sex
We all know by now that it’s the journey that really matters in life, not the destination. In sex, that means not every sexual experience should be focused on getting to the orgasm(s). But the truth is, not every sexual experience leads anywhere at all. Some nights, you start out on the journey and you’d like to keep going, but, boy, sleep sounds so darn good too … and that’s when things peter out.
Luckily, the experts say this kind of sex is still good for your bond. “Even acknowledging that you want your partner is important, whether or not you follow through,” says Meers. If you feel sleep coming on, Meers suggests you say to your partner, “‘I love you so much and I want you.’ Just saying it out loud, that counts for a lot too.” In the meantime, you’re just two warm bodies who love each other and appreciate that a sweet, simple touch can be enough for the night.
6. Make-up sex
It’s been said you shouldn’t go to bed angry. And sometimes, you can take that to a different extreme, ensuring that after a fight you go to bed happy — very, very happy. Yes, we’re talking about the wild and intense world of make-up sex, when one minute you’re reeling from anger, and the next you’re rolling around making passionate love. Make-up sex works because after a fight, you’re raw, exposed, and vulnerable — perfect conditions for intense, soul-to-soul physical bonding. “In many ways, make-up sex restores a level of closeness that you may feel was fractured by the argument,” says Clayton. “Sex can repair that fracture.”
One commonsense caveat: “Some people pick fights in order to be able to make up,” says Clayton. Other couples ignore their real problems and have sex instead. If the only time you’re getting along is when you’re in the sack, maybe you should take a break from the make-ups and face your issues with your clothes on first.
7. Comfort sex
If you’re feeling sad, depressed, grieving, alone, or hurt, sex can be the perfect antidote. Why? Because it’s the opposite of all those things — it’s about being close, warm, loving, and together. And because sometimes talking about your troubles or sadness isn’t what you want, while sex can be.
“My husband’s mom had Parkinson’s and a stroke, my dad had major heart surgery, and my mom had Alzheimer’s, so my husband and I have spent a lot of time in bed comforting each other,” explains Beth, 57, a former teacher and stay-at-home mom in Chicago. “In those times, sometimes it’s full-penetration sex, sometimes it’s just snuggling, sometimes it’s manually stimulating each other, but for us it’s important. It makes you remember why you’re living. If you focus on the bad stuff to the end, it’s not worth it. You have to focus on what makes you want to get up every morning, what makes you want to go through every day. And part of that, for us, is the sex.”
That desire for a connection is not only common, says Morehouse, it’s important as a life-affirming act in the face of grief. “Sex is a way of declaring your aliveness,” says Morehouse. “It’s a way of defending yourself against the inevitability of death or loss.” Usually, she says, comfort sex is “more poignant, more sweet, and perhaps more emotional than usual” because the desire to connect to life is so great.
And that thriving, healing act can also help people who feel torn apart from each other during a difficult period. “Grief tends to drive a wedge between couples,” says Clayton, noting that partners sometimes blame themselves, or each other, during a loss. “I’ve seen couples break up because something bad happens, but sex can help restore the intimate relationship you have. Instead of letting grief pull you apart, you can use it to pull each other close again.”
8. Crazy hang-from-the-chandelier sex
You know what we’re talking about: wild, sweaty, so-good-it-makes-you-dizzy sex. No matter how long you’ve been together, you need to have earthshaking sex like this once in a while — even if it’s once in a very long while. For long-term couples, having an extra-hot sexual experience is “like a flashback,” says Morehouse. “It can stimulate those early feelings you had toward someone in the beginning, and it reminds you what you’re capable of as a couple.”
“People think the steamy stuff only happens before you are married or pre-kids, but we are going on 25 years of marriage and still have passionate, hot sex!” says Maureen, a self-employed New Jersey mother of three in her mid-40s. She remembers one recent night that felt as hot as the old flames. “I’d just finished cooking dinner, and no kids were home. When my husband came in, he said he was going upstairs to change. But as he kissed me, it evolved from just talking about the day to sex on the kitchen counter. It was totally spontaneous and unexpected!”
This kind of sex is also important on a deeper level. “It requires a lot of intimacy to let your partner see you in the throes of sexual abandon,” explains Morehouse. “When you display that side of yourself, you have to deal with questions like, What if my face gets purple or my eyes go back in my head? To express a higher level of sensuality like this is another way of being intimate.” And let’s not forget how much a toe-curling orgasm does to keep your eyes bright and your soul smiling!

‘what is’ is unchangeable. it is the eternal, the living. when the self is, ‘what is’ is not. when the self is not, ‘what is’ is.
the self is the mind. we are the qualities of our mind with all its memories, experiences and conditioning. all these make the input for our actions which is actually a response from the memories, experiences and conditioning. so it is not action, it is only reaction of the mind.
we only the know the mind and react from the mind. so the mind which is the known tries to reach the unknown, the ‘what is’. but the mind is limited. it is the known and it cannot reach the unknown. so it created method and formula to reach the known.
its goal is to reach the unknown, which is everlasting. human beings for centuries have come up with MANY FORMULAS - the religions, the morals, the politics, AND THE governments. each have their own view based on their memories and conditioning. but they are all the same. they are all the same desire to reach the unknown. the only thing common about them is desire. the process of desire separates mankind. they started out with good intentions but they do not know the mind has tricked them. they end up with war and sufferings.
can you see? the beginning and the end is the same. they started out wrong and they end up wrong. they started out evil and they end up evil. they started out with desire.
is not understanding of desire more important than reaching a goal? desire comes from the mind which is incomplete. desire implies choice. we choose based on our background and conditioning. if you are aware, our choices are based on fear. fear is ever trying to be secluded, to divide and to be exclusive. so the very nature of desire is to incomplete, which is the mind. this process goes on everyday in our lives. the mind lives and we are dead.
is not understanding of desire more important than to reach the goal? To reach a goal is to deny ‘what is’ which is truth. effort is death. there is no humility in desire. understanding is the beginnng of wisdom.
words cannot describe the timeless, the measureless, the eternal, the truth. it is the ‘what is’. every attempt to understand it is the process of desire, which is another form of ‘want this’ and ‘want that’.
the more important thing is not to understand it but understand why we want to understand it. every desire is still desire whether the desire to have sex or the desire to find god, peace or happiness. this is the self, the ‘I’, the ‘Me’, the mind. understanding this, the ‘I’ dies and the ‘what is’ comes into being.
God is the term used by human being to describe the ‘what is’. if we have understanding, we will realize that god means different thing to different people. their mindS have different pictures and images about god. some see Jesus. some see Buddha and yet some see other faces. these are all from the mind. this is all the desire to get to ‘what is’. the mind cannot get to ‘what is’.
in their desperation some become vegetarian, some avoid sex, some go on fasting, some torture themselves to get to ‘what is’. can you get to ‘what is’ through some kind of formula? are we supposed to play some games to get there? are not all these petty?
yet some say there is no god. those who say there is god and those who say there is no god ARE equally stupid. both do the same thing. they look for a solution to a problem, aren’t they? is not looking for a solution is a form of desire? are not both in the same boat?
then they have wars. then they have the State with their governments. they replace one with another. is not all these one desire replacing another, creating conflicts. can you see? looking for solution is not a solution. it is not action. it is only reaction which is the outcome of previous action. the outcome of previous action is actually a reaction of a previous action which is actually also a reaction. can you see the continuity? that continuity is the mind which is death being alive. if the death is alive, are we living? obviously not.
the aliveness of the death cannot meet the Living. light and darkness cannot co-exist, can they? if there is light, darkness is not. if there is darkness, light is not.
people are more interested to look for a solution than understanding the problem. understanding brings humility. the self dies and the Truth comes into being. can you see? we cannot go to Truth, it can only come to us.
I am tired.. I am very tired.. I am getting older.. Sigh Lisa wont want me anymore..
For the past 2 days, I have been going around Kiasuland (aka Singapore) doing food testing cum review.. This is the 1st piece of my 2 piece food review that took place yesterday (Saturday). I just got done with my 2nd food testing today at Man Fu Yuan Restaurant. My 2nd piece will be later this week depending on my job load.
For just SGD28.90 ++ (or SGD34nett) per head (on weekends) you can eat all you want at this outlet. Let me present you Kane-Bo, sorry it should be Kuishin-Bo.
With additional SGD11 - SGD12 during dinners, you will be able to enjoy a free flow of snow crab. (My personal opinion- snow crab aint that great.. If it was Ceylon crab, ho ho ho I would have opted for dinner)
Kuishin-Bo Authentic Japanese Buffet (stupid Ameri-cunts pronounce it as Buff- fet) is located at Suntec Tower 1. The eatery is just exactly opposite Toys Blogs R Us. They offer almost everything you wish to eat (speaking of it, why no free flow of Sake. I love sake); from snow crabs (during dinner) to sushi and sashimi to various seafood platter like scallops, escargot, mussels, clams, worms, lizards, dogs to teriyaki and tempura and various kinds of dessert. Hell, even paper pot also got!
An-yeo Ho-Saeyo.. My Korean neighbour on holidays (heard the other table talking to them la)
I shall leave you with the pictures I took instead… Oh yeah, speaking of taking pictures. I was happily snapping away until the waitress told me that I cant take any picture of the food. WTF?? What kind of restaurant is that?
I just loved the Salmon.. The escargot tasted like crap!
Seafood paper pot
Scallop with ginseng Congee
I think all in all I whacked a dozen or so scallops
Teppanyaki
Ooh…Nice dessert
I didn’t know that Lipton now has green tea. And when I first saw Ah Kong taking a cup for me, I was like, “WTF?? Can drink one or not Lipton Green Tea.” To my surprise, I was proven wrong. I never had such good green tea sachet before like Lipton’s.
Lipton has various tea products now (in sachet’s) which vary from the original Green Tea, Green Tea with Peppermint, to Herbal Tea (with various citrus flavors) and Black Tea. Not sure if they have Red Tea. I love Red Tea (especially the one from Winter Warmers)
Btw, Kuishin-Bo had a signage stating that in any case you wanted to take a sachet back it would costs SGD3.80 per pack. WTF??? SGD3.80 per pack?? That is like almost 13% of your cost per head (not inclusive of 17% GST)
Anyways, I took back regardless.
Overall, I would say Kuishin-Bo (for the price of SGD34) is anytime better than Tao. Make sure to try it if you visit Kiasuland..
I am not sure how I came across this blog. If my memory serves me well, I guess it was one of the cbox msgs in Ahmike.net that led to me this site. Anyone who knows me, knows that I like going around to people’s blog and start to HONK them in their cboxes. Ahmike is no different from the rest.. I guess Ahmike is one of the few blogging friends that I really keep in touch apart from Jess (my ala Jay Chou racing partner), Cathy, JJR, EV and many others.
So one day I was honking at Ahmike’s cbox and I saw a name that caught my attention. I decided to lick I mean click on it. The next thing I knew I nearly fell of my chair!
Ok, if you have followed my blog since day 1 in August 2006, I like praising and admiring pretty girls. Just have this niche for beautiful ladies.. Haha.. (Don’t puke la)
The bevy of girls that I have spoken of in my blog have nonetheless been at their helm for some reasons; for instance Natalie Portman, Megan Fox, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Tavia Yeung and Angelina Jolie amongst others..
Coming back nearer to home, I have a local to admire. She is Lisa Chew of www.chewak.com (I wonder what is with the domain chewak. Luckily not cicak!)
I am not sure if I want to talk about her. I mean not bad mouthing her. Damn, I wouldnt be that stupid to bad mouth a lady this beautiful would I? What I am trying to say is write about her personal stuff, like here age, her address, her background and what not.. Well, I guess for you to know is for you to find out..
Anyways, I have left a POLL (on the right) for you to guess how old Lisa is based on her photos. My personal take between 24-25.. I am not giving myself that much of a tolerance eh? Seriously, I dont know her age. I am also guessing.. Those who manage to guess her age correctly will get to go on a date with Lisa..
All expense paid by Ahmike.Net
I will post photos of Lisa instead… Let you guys go goo-goo gaa-gaa over her!
Great dressing too
Very photogenic and lovely smile dont you think so?
Sui boh?? Say la sui! (sui not soi)
Lisa is a member of Nuffnang (which I just got to know today, sigh what a toad I am). She has few other blogs but the notable one I believe you guys have been to is the ‘Million Dollar Pages’ blog.
The bottom right pic is Lisa’s nuffnang thumbnail
Her current primary blog is www.chewak.com. Pls be sure to visit her.
Oh btw for you straight guys out there.. Lisa is taken….by me! Haha… Nah, she is still SINGLE BUT NOT SURE IF AVAILABLE… Can try asking her. If you want her contacts, here it is 03-755 2525 or you can call 1-800-Ahmike-Dot-Net.
