Reflecting at the end of Year 2008!

Year 2008 has been a year of many changes..

The main change was in my career, whereby I ventured into something totally new, and was so amazed at how God provided me the switch from Malaysia Dairy Industries (producing the home-grown brand, Marigold), to my current job @ Cerebos Pacific Limited (producing the even longer home-grown brand, BRANDS'), and has never failed to help me during my times of dire need. Thank God for this amazing opportunity, becos I definately know that this current company I am in, will definately not consider anyone who has lesser than a degree job, so for an only diploma holder with work experience, getting into Cerebos, is like a dream come true, becos I always wanted to do R&D.. so ya..
Praying that God will help me to excel further in this dream job of mine! =)

Next change was that I'm slowing moving into the "Apple" world, becos I'm now starting to appreciate Apple stuff, but not totally a converter yet, but am just amazed at how Apple helps all designers, and with my current position in my church, designing/publicity is one of my responsibilities, and as time goes by, publicising has becoming one of my developed forte.. so thank God for this talent too!
Its really amazing at how God has planted ideas in my mind to get a point across.. of course, consultations with my bro, Tjow, has also helped me to excel in this area.. so ya.. Thank you Tjow!!

** Picture on left: A mini "flyer" I've designed for the event, and spent only 30 mins to get this up! Not good enough actually, but I'm satisfied! =)

I think that should be all.. will have a power nap of about 2 hrs, before waking up, and joining some of my church friends for the annual countdown event @ Marina Bay!.. Woohoo~..

Time to sleep,
<<< abriel >>>

A weekend well spent..

Well ppl.. it seemed that this busy man here only blogs once a week.. Well, can't blame me lah.. this avid blogger is busy can..

Work this week was very long.. but I still manage to pass thru it.. So ya..

And on Friday, for the first time, I made a stand that I will tell my operator straight that I will go for cell group NO MATTER what happens! I even told my boss, and thank God, he agreed.. So there I left office at a designated time, and viola.. I reached cell on time! So thank God for it..

Then on Saturday service, what I can say is that the worship in the service was simply awesome! Felt God was leading me throughout, which I didnt expect to lah.. But ya.. thank God for it..

Then after which, went to my uncle's hse for my dad's side family dinner.. it was a great time mtg up my cousins and uncles and aunties.. so ya.. But I just realise that this mth, we would meet a LOT of times (compare to the previous years) becos of my cousin wedding as well as also CNY and all.. hahax.. but its good lah.. I'm not complaining..

This morning attended a youth leaders' retreat at uncle weng seng's house.. It was ok.. except to say that I was the "last minute minute taker" becos the person who suppose to do so is sick.. So ya..
Then thru the discussions, I just found out that I was stretched to the max once again this year.. but ya.. with God's help, I hope to do it lahx..

Had a BBQ dinner at uncle weng seng's hse.. felt so full after that, becos thru'out the day, we were constantly fed with food, food and more food, so naturally when it came to dinner, I was full!

After that, Carlise and me adjourned to Tjow's hse to see Ezekiel and Claudia.. Ezekiel is zoouuu cute! And yes, I ate the confinement food which I love most, Black Vinegar Pig Trotters! I ate 2 pcs lah.. It was really good!! Tjow, I think you can go out and sell liaox! I tell you.. its heavenly lah!!!! Ryan and Cat was there as well, and Ryan apparently had don't koe how many helpings of it liaox.. so ya.. =)

Then came home to bathe and do this blogpost for all of you all to see loh.. in the meantime of blogging, I'm also chatting with my brother and mentor, Tjow.. ya.. I feel so comfortable talking to him that sometimes I actually share very personal stuff with him.. so ya.. Thank you brother whenever I need a listening ear, as well as need some Godly advice =) Tjow was also suggesting that alternate sundays to be our mentoring sessions, which I totally look forward to it lahx =)

Other than that, I wld think its time for me to sleep.. Another long week at work ahead, and best still, I wld be working OT for FREE, becos I've reached the capped limit! Sad life rite.. but I applied for another job liaox.. still waiting for reply.. so ya..

Ok lah.. its getting late.. I need to go and sleep liaox.. waking up early tml..

The weekend ends with a bang,
<<< abriel >>>

My busy weekend..

Well.. in a twinkle of an eye, my weekend has ended and its another week of slogging ahead.. haix..

Anyway, just came back from CNY goodies shopping at Chinatown.. The mood of CNY in Chinatown is definately there.. and ppl were squeezing back to back with each other.. so ya..

But I went there just to buy some BBQ pork (Kim Hock Guan - more healthy as they only use sliced pork and NOT minced pork, so naturally, their BBQ pork is slightly harder than the others!), and also some groundnuts (both garlic and striped).. so ya.. the goodies costs me about $65.. so ya.. quite ok lah.. moreover its once a year, so not so bad..

** Photo on left: My passport size photo DIRECTLY after my haircut!

Today, I spend half of my day actually at my hairstylist salon and did my hair! Well.. I did a natural brown colour dye with a highlight colour that is close to blond.. So ya.. I'm quite satisfied with the result actually!! But I actually sat in the salon for about 2 hrs.. quite long I tell you, but since the results were satisfying, I've decided it was worth the wait lahx! I just told my hairstylist roughly what colour I want, and then he just match for me.. so ya.. good colour combi huh!.. What you see on photo (which is on left) does not really represent the actual colour.. so ya.. When I meet you all, you wld koe wat I mean! Its real good! =).. I'mn actually grinning from ear to ear now.. what do you think? =)

And all these for a low price of $100.. its really cheap! Then I also bought from my hairstylist a conditioner for my coloured hair (becos if not, it would be really bad for my hair).. so ya.. but that conditioner costs me $34! Expensive huh!
** PS: After I like have spend so many years at this salon, its the FIRST time that my hairstylist actually coloured my hair for me! He actually did the highlights for me.. so its really an honour, becos its usually he lets his staff to do the colouring (dye/highlight) loh.. so ya.. =).. I'm happy!

So ya.. that practically wraps up my day..

Oh.. just to update you that I would be catching my second musical for the yr with Christina.. and its none other than Dim Sum Dollies - History Of Singapore! I've always wanted to catch Dim Sum Dollies but no chance, so this is my chance.. and ya..

Saying of which, I've taken some photos with the actress of Beauty World The Musical! Here it is..


** Wan Choo (played by Irene Ang) and me


** Ivy Chan Poh Choo (played by Elena Wang) and me.. (PS: She look really hot in that cheongsam that she wore during the show itself!)


** Rosemary (played by Alemay Fernandez) and me

Well.. I've bought a souvenir CD sountrack and hence, I've got their signature as well, becos they autograph for me and therefore, also able to take these pics mahx.. or else, you think how I get the above photos? hahax..

Anyway, the musical, we sat 3 rows from the front, so EVERYTHING was really clear! But the musical is real good lahx.. It's really worth EVERY cent! So good musicals like these ought not to be missed lah! =) So that is why I've decided to go for a second musical this yr.. so ya.. It seems like 2008, I've got more artistic cells.. hahax.. =)

So ya.. it was really enjoyable last weekend..

Well, just before the weekend came, I actually got a call from Citibank that I'm successfully granted 2 credit cards, Citibank Dividend Platinum Card and Citibank Platinum Visa.. so ya.. quite happy lah.. There is a difference in the 2 cards, so if you want to koe more, you can go to Citibank website and take a look lahx! =)

Other than that, I don't think there is anything else to update.. oh.. the coming weekend would also be a busy one for me, becos its meeting up with my cousins, aunties and uncles (my dad's side) for an early reunion dinner.. so ya.. I guess that they would be shock to see my hair lah! hahax..

I think after this weekend, if I still got time, I would still go shopping for my cousin's wedding.. so ya.. have already some clothing in mind already, but just cannot think of what else.. so ya.. I shall see how lah! =)

Ok.. gtg snd sleep liaox.. tired.. a long week ahead...
<<< abriel >>>

Esplanade, here I conquer!!!...

Ok.. finally the day has come where I would have my adequate rest, and re-charge my "biological battery" for the week ahead, as it would be a LOOOONNNNGGG week ahead..

Anyway, woke up this morning, had my breakfast, and then I tell you.. I was so tempted to do my hair today (as in dye, highlight and cut), becos my hair is really very long and irritating, and I can't stand long hair.. so ya.. That is me lahx.. But then I just realised that if I do it, then my hair life-span can't last till the optimal effect till CNY.. then next mth is also my cousin's wedding, so then again, I have to trim and all.. so ya.. have to see how lahx..

So you may ask since this morning I did not do my hair (but I would do it next week), what did I do?
I actually do my worship sets for 2 services (Holy Communion and the 2nd service), becos there is a high possibility that I would not have time to choose, and the practice sessions may be anytime.. so ya..).

** Photo on left: "Beauty World The Musical" Publicity Poster

So now, I finish my work, and just chilling out, before bathing and getting out of the house to meet Christina to go to "My Secret Garden" for a quick dinner before adjourning to Esplanade for our musical show, Beauty World.. so ya..

Quite exciting I must say, becos this would be like only the 2nd time that I stepped into Esplanade theatres to catch a musical.. so ya.. I always wanted to watch Beauty World live, and there I have it.. so ya..

The clock is ticking away, but not fast enuf.. hahax..

Ok lahx.. I gtg liaox.. Gonna do some other stuff, becos I reckon I would not have the ability to do so tonite, as the musical will end quite late tonite I guess..

I'm gonna have a great time tonite! Will tell you more in my next blogpost (which probably be the time where I do my hair?)..

Beauty World, Cha.. Cha.. Cha..,

Changes....

Changes has become a norm in the part of my life of year 2008.

First thing first, I would like to thank God for the many provisions that He has provided me with for the past 23 years, and am still looking forward for His many blessings on my personal as well as my spiritual life.

One person whom I really have to mention and thank is Matthew Tjow (who is my mentor as well as a close brother of mine in church). He has really impacted me a LOT; be it in his spritual life or his simple words of encouragement..
Thank YOU Tjow, I really didnt koe that you have much impact on me until the day you prayed for me in church camp.. and YES! I've boycott Ben & Jerry as well as NUM! It's tough but I'm trying to resist temptation! I will go to Espirit and Giordano instead, and for ice-cream, I will go to gelatissimo!! =)

I have done a LOT to improve Singapore's economy and satisfy my cravings.. hahax.. I'm sure you koe wat I'm referring to.. its shopping lahx!! =)

** Photo on left: "Damage" done to my wallet for the past 2 weeks.. here is a lowdown:

- Norton Internet Security 2008 (UP: $79, but I got discount becos I member @ Challenger, so I got it for $75 instead).

- Uriage Cu-Zn Gel Nettoyant (Facial Foam), Uriage Cica Skin-Repair Fluid, Adidas Deo Spray Blue Challenge Deodorant (altogether I paid $49.95, price after 20% discount from Watsons)

- Espirit Jeans (For CNY 2008) (UP: $79.90, but becos that day there was a storewide 10% discount, I got it only for $71.91)

- Espirit Polo T-shirts (For CNY 2008) (UP: $119.80 for 2 pcs @ $59.90 each, but becos they have some promotion, I got the first piece @ $59.90 whilst the second piece at 50% off, so in total, I paid $89.95)

- (Not shown in photo) -> Reko Glasses ($1.90 for 6 pcs) and Sualka Champagne Glasses ($6.90 for 6 pcs).. All from Ikea.

- (Not shown in photo) -> Cork Opener ($19.90) form Carrefour Plaza Singapura.

- (Not shown in photo) -> CK Euphornia Women Blossom (100ml) (my dad and I share-buy to give to my mum) ($124), and CK Euphornia Men (50ml) (my dad and I share-buy this fragrance for both of our use) ($80).. Freebies include 2 sample Euphornia Men shower gel and 4 sample fragrances..

Ya.. besides my shopping, I have already done a lot of eating.. let me see whether I can tell you wat I did on the days where I did not blog..

1/1 - Well.. this day woke up like at 9am then went online to blog and stuff.. then later, hands itchy, so msg my shopping kakki, Christina, at abt 1pm, and we both went shopping together.. realised we two shopping styles is the same.. when buy, we both think whether the material of the clothing we bought is worth it and all..

But in the end, I was the happy one, becos I bought the most things whilst she didn't really anything, except for the Sensodye Total Care toothpaste I recommended her, and she said its good.. so ya..

Lots of things happened along the way whilst we were shopping.. For example, I was at Tangs, and I wanted to purchase some wine glasses.. and then this lady tried to hard-sell her wine glasses which cost like $124 for 6 pcs, instead of my intended $39 for 6 pcs.. She apparently claim that the $124 ones will not change colour though long storage, but the $39 ones will.. but I didnt buy in the end becos I tot go reckee another place to see whether its cheaper.. but I didn't buy her story.. so ya..

Dinner was at Sushi Tei, Paragon, whereby I ate the hotpot and the swordfish sashimi (which btw is 5 pcs for $10!).. its good I tell you.. we did have a whale of a time.. just chilling out and eating.. hahax.. we even had the orchard road ice-cream which is cheap and good - $1 nia.. its very nice.. its the one at the traffic light from Taka side to Paragon.. the ice-cream man with the auntie is always there.. and they serve this ice-cream which has a LOT of peanuts.. so ya.. you should go try it someday!

Was happy I tell you.. Shopping has never been so fun b4..

2/1 - 4/1 - well.. worked in office until want to die lohx.. becos very busy in office.. this and that.. haix.. My senior operator not in somemore, so everything I have to do.. so ya.. sianx..

But on 4/1 nite, I didn't attend cell, but I actually stayed in my room, listening to My Secret Place (which is Hillsongs Instrumental), and I actually listened to the music to choose my worship songs for the service next wk.. I'm leading.. so ya.. I actually prayed b4 I chose the songs, and somehow miraculously, songs just came into mind, and what I wanted to say and all is all scripted.. I simply do not koe wat to say and all, but after praying, words just came into my mind and I just type it.. well.. I really believe this is wat God wants to speak to the Youths during service next year.. How will it impact them or whether its just my feelings that is kidding me? I don't know.. But I will have faith and will really want to see how God work thru' the people in the second service..
Not exactly it would be all youths, but I'm sure that some adults would be inside as well, so its a totally new congregation.. so ya.. but whatever it is, I'm leading to the Lord.

5/1 - Ha.. this is the day of the week that I'm always waiting for..
I'm always looking forward for services on Saturdays.. I don't koe why.. it could be becos I'm meeting up with good pals in church, or sumthing.. so ya..

Anyway, service was ok.. I played in church.. surprisingly, the sound is better than I thought.. ha.. God's blessing lah..

Then had a short music prac, which only lasts 15 mins but its almost there.. hahax.. then had a short Youth Leaders' meeting, and we discussed about the re-structuring of the Youth cell groups.. and ya.. I got placed into Tjow's group, and of course, I'm very happy.. ha.. =).. Well.. looking very much forward for his teachings.. hahax..

Then after mtg, Tjow just realised he can start his car but can't turn the steering wheel.. so he tried and all.. and ryan actually reached the restaurant already, but u-turn back for him whilst Carlise fetched me over.. so ya.. In the end, his car has to be towed away and they found a dead rat under his car (which they all suspect the rat must have bite the wire of the steering wheel as well as some air-con thingy, becos the air-con in Tjow's car is "blowing" hot air.. so ya..).. it was a sad and tragic moment for Tjow.. you shld have see his helpless look.. but admire his courage and braveness to put all the sad tots behind and just join us for dinner.. *claps* Bro, I pity with you ok.. we can both buy a Mitsubishi car together.. wait for me ok.. =P

Anyway, back to the dinner part.. joined a group of the other youths (tjow, ryan, cat, christina, esther, mok, josh, alvin and carlise) for steamboat dinner at the seventh storey hotel.. but my recommendation is not very worth it.. steamboat only 1 serving, and not very filling as well.. But the miracle thing is that I only had 1 bowl of rice.. so ya.. but the white steam chicken is good.. Josh, I will always remember that you don't koe wat is cucumber called in mandarin.. hahax.. =P

After the dinner, we went for dessert, and I had this mango and grapefruit.. not very good leh.. but I like wat carlise ordered.. Yuan yang (which is a mixture of walnut paste and black sesame paste).. very good I tell you! =)
In fact, I'm already thinking of bringing my family to go there and eat sometime soon! =)

6/1 - This morning woke up super early to go to my Pastor's place for Leaders' Retreat.. the retreat was ok.. the cakes (from cedele, esp. the lemon lust, was good! I can remembered wat was ordered liaox.. and I tell you.. the lemon lust has always been my favourite, and my pastor's wife whenever she had the opportunity (for gatherings), she wld order it especially for me.. so touched! =)
But of course I would not be the only one who is eating it.. everyone attended today seemed to like it, and its like ok.. I have lesser to eat liaox.. but anyway, Tjow didnt attend the retreat today as he have flu and fever which I guess its real bad.. so he didnt turn up, so I can be considered to eat his share lahx! =)

Then the normal stuff went on.. and it seems that church or particularly the current leaders in GenJosh seemed to want to stretch me and prepare me to be a leader.. I don't koe whether is this possible, but I shall be led by the Spirit ya.. and today my Pastor was like talking a LOT on full-time ministry, but I wonder whether is this really God's calling for me, becos not even AVA or any other companies which I enquire actually sent back a reply email? I don't koe.. I shall see in due course ya.. =)

I admitted that I was certainly moved by some parts of the retreat, like when Jaslyn was actually sharing abt the "disbanding" of her cell.. it sounded like a forever goodbye thing.. then I was also really moved when Alvin prayed for me (during the buddy praying session).. Thanx bro!

Then went to Zion Road Hawker Centre supposedly to eat the wontan mee there becos ppl also said that is good.. but then, its closed becos the owner returned the noodles to the supplier as they were not of standard, so like that they can't sell already lohx..

Had a lot of stuff instead (we ordered and shared) lah.. Ate until I was full.. oh.. the guo-tie is fabulous! Its real good! World best I must say! Oh man.. I'm craving for it again!!!! help!!!

Then went with my dad to just shop the streets of Suntec, and that is where I bought my fragrances.. not too bad leh.. we spend over $200, so therefore, we got a bottle of CK Eternity Summer (the one I'm currently using) FOC.. so ya.. quite happy with my shopping actually! =)

Then came home and then blog this post lohx.. watched "The Noose" just now.. super funny! ha.. I love Gurmit Singh imitating the indian accent.. hahax..

Oh.. I tell you.. my mth of January is really packed.. here is a brief outlook:

7/1 : Dinner mtg with Christina becos she said she want to eat the Toa Payoh rojak.. so ya..

8/1 - 12/1 : Work (not so much this week).. And song-choosing for 2 wks of worship leader (one for 2nd svs as well as one for Holy Communion service.. so its gonna be tough for me..

Happy New Year 2008!

What a way to end the year with a bang.. of course, with my Youths @ Church! I think of all the histories of the countdown, this should be the biggest crowd.. so ya.. I had a great time ppl! Thanks ya..

And in appreciation to all who have faithfully read my blog for the past year, here is my first post of the year!.. so ya.. enjoy ya!..
(Again, this would be a very picture-filled blogpost, so no worries ya!)

** Photo on left: GenJosh Youths having their last dinner of the year together @ NYDC, Suntec!

Yesterday was like a rush at work, and thank God everything went on smoothly..

My boss actually wanted me to work overtime today (1/1/08), because there is apparently somemore painting work to be done in office, and he like dun want to come, and he wants us to go to office to supervise.. so ya..

Then he like came to find me first to ask me whether I can come to work today (1/1/08), but I told him that cannot, becos I would go countdown the nite before and therefore, wld not be able to do so..
So he was like ok.. then approached my other 2 colleagues, and they also said they not free.. so I guess that in the end, he have to come himself..

He very extra one I tell you.. I don't think in the whole life, actually someone painted the pipes.. so ya.. and see what he has land himself in.. Too bad if he has to go back.. serves him rite.. so extra for what? The auditors are also not going to see the pipes whether clean or not.. so high, where they bother to see? haix..

** Photo on right: Raina & Natasha looking sweet together..

Anyway, production was all rite and finished at about 4pm.. I quickly checked the records and by 5pm, I was out of the office and rushed home to bathe and change, and get ready to meet the Youths @ City Hall MRT.. so ya..

Waited for a while for the ppl to arrive then we go in batches.. so ya..



** Video above: This is me being caught unaware of feeding Josh.. I was feeling high, probably on the nuts that I ate the whole nite! So ya.. all "thanks" to Mok who videoed this down, and I have to show it to the whole world.. because this is so funny lah!

** Photo on left: The couple (Mok & Esther) posing some "shuai qi" pose!

When we went there, thank God that the place was not very crowded, and kudos to Nat that he actually had managed to find seats for all of us!

Then we ordered our food.. I was feeling hungry, so I ordered a LOT.. a farmboy salad (to share of course..), a meatball spaghetti (whose meatballs are not as good as Ikea's! IKEA meatball rocks lah!), and of course a grandma goes nuts mudpie (which is not as good as I had the last time!)..

** Photo on right: The boys (Josh & me) with an injured right cheek side! Totally unglam!

Of course, with such an occasion, how can we not cam-whore? hahax.. but of course, not myself.. so ya.. Natasha was like asking me whether I brought my camera, and I answered her yes... and she told me wat ya koe..

"Abriel, why do you bring a camera and not take it out? Then like that might as why not bring your camera out!.." I was like ok.. you win liaox lohx..

So now you koe why I said Natasha was the ultimate cam-whore queen?

** Photo on left: Christina showing off her wine glass to her world, and Rachel gave that million dollar grin..

After dinner, we proceeded to the Esplanade bridge (apparently they closed the road, so walking was a breeze, unlike last year! This year I tell you, the control of human traffic and the congestion was much better than the last, as it was because they have opened up new roads and there seems to be more exits this time round..
So kudos to the organisers of this Marina Bay Countdown as well as Cisco! =)

** Photo on right: I machiam like the host of some party and Josh happens to be my photo-mate! =)

Then a group of us wanted to go to the Fullerton Hotel toilet to "pee with class".. but unfortunately, the hotel was closed for some function, so we cldn't pee with class.. and then the queue for the female toilet at One Fullerton was like super long (its like the yearly multi-million draw crowd.. im serious).. but thankfully, the guys' toilet was not queuing at all.. hahax..

** Photo on left: The thorn (Sebestian) among the roses (Raina & Natasha)

A call then came to me (whilst I was peeing) from PK (yes PK, you choose the rite moment huh!), and he asked where was my current location.. I told him, and he said he found a nice place to view the fireworks and chill with class as well as also not "fighting with the crowd"..
He was actually referring to "The Fullerton Waterboat House".

** Photo on right: The last group photo taken @ The Fullerton Waterboat House before ushering in the new year!

Of course all these sounded good, and we decided to go, but never we did expect that it would be a nice place and there was quite a "price" to pay, and that is we have to order drinks (and they said everyone had to order a drink).. so we did lah, becos its the last day of the year, and we were already there..

Those that were of drinking age, we shared a bottle of white wine, and whilst those who were underage, had soft drinks.. but it doesn't matter, as in we don't mind paying, becos we are all in a jolly good mood!

** Photo on left: Cheers mate! (Ashley & me)

Of course, with a wine glass in my hand, its really a good photo-taking opportunity! And so becos' I'm of those wine fanatics and I like to cam-whore, so of course, my camera had me the most! Its my camera after-all mahx..!

And it feels really great just to be at The Fullerton Waterfront House, becos' its like really cooling and you dun need to rush and all.. so ya..

In fact, plans are already underway to book a hotel room for Countdown 2009.. so ya.. we will see whether that would be fulfilled lahx!

** Photo on right: The guys (Nat, Ash, PK, Sebestian, Jon & myself) saying bye to 2007 and HI to 2008!!

Then as midnight draws nearer, the crowd cheers louder everywhere, and soon the clock strike midnight, and the fireworks just burst into a beautiful sight, and its like again, I was quite overwhelmed with emotions becos its like 2007 is more or less a rough year for me, and a start to a new one (2008) which I certainly hope that it would be a good one!

With resolutions like hoping to have a car by end 2008, it would be a tough goal to achieve, but I certainly hope that this dream would mine would become a reality!

** Photo on left: The photo that I'm so impressed with myself!! I took this shot myself (with the fireworks mode of course!)

So becos we had seats at The Fullerton Waterfront House, we actually sat there until like 0100, where the crowd almost subsided, and then we make our separate ways to Raffles Place MRT.. so ya..

This had got to be the most miraculous year where I actually took MRT home from countdowns.. the past yrs were always cab.. so ya.. saved quite a lot on transport actually! =)

Then reached home at abt 0200 hrs, and then, I bathe and do QT, and by 0300 hrs, I was asleep already! slept all the way till 0945 hrs, woke up and then ate brunch, and then started blogging till now lahx..

So ya.. this ends my blog for the first blogpost of year 2008! So ya..

Blessed 2008 and have a great year ahead filled with love, joy and peace! Ciaoz~

The high-classed one,
