What is going on today???

Totally not in the mood for lesson...
Seems like i'm losing interest in that piece of paper...
a piece of paper that can guarantee me at least a 1600-1800 pay allowance????
wahahahaha...
Everything in school seems so bland...

Read in the papers today...
In Columbia, heartless drug traffickers actually surgically put bags of heroins into little PUPPIES
and try to use their to do their dirty deeds...WTF man...
How can they do that? That is so cruel...
Is that what money can do to a person, for his own benefits and ignore everything elses???
Even those little creatures???
So how true is this sentence? "Everyone has a price"
Any comments???

Well, thanks to Bro James and Adrian...my iTune Prepaid Card finally arrived in my hands...
Well, let's take a look...

The whole package...gonna omit his address to give him some privacy

The card in it's backing.

The card

Back of the card, and you think you can copy my serial number? ha..

But....i still yet to register into it...because of some email address problem....DAmn it!!!!

Yeah, on Nian Chu San... Cynthia and i went to get a pair of couple ring...




Nice???

Of course, both of us prefer something more classy, like Tiffany & Co.
But, since we are on a tight budget, i guess this should do for now...
But we will welcome any kind Sponsors..without a doubt!!! Wahahahaha

Can't wait for Sunday to arrive....Cause i'm going on a Cruise....
Back out at sea....where i truely belong...LOL

Enjoy the weekend..folks...

CNY...Chu Er...

Today is the second day of Chinese New Year...
This year is kinda different...
No longer do i have to be dilemma-ed whether i have to leave the country or not...
Life is different..Life is GOOD!!

First day is spend travelling around the whole of Singapore...
I think beside the south of singapore....i probably have been to it all...
All those travelling (on the back of a lorry) really made me sick :(
And what pissed me off...was my mum...saying that i was throwing a tantrum...
yeah...why don't you try it yourself? Going from Tampines to Bukit Gombak...
So stupid....

Went to Cynthia's place in the evening... hang around...got a couple of AngBao...
Sorry luv... you know some stuffs...i got no control over...

The first day just ended like that...in a tired frenzy...of travelling here and there...

Chu Er....went to my Si Gu's palce in admirality...after my cousins visited us at my place...
Went on down to Lakeside..to my Da Gu's place...
had the usual vegetarian lunch...but this year don't have the vegetaian shark fin :(
which happened to be my fave every year....

Went off after lunch to find Cynthia at Royston's place....
At there, it another round of "gong xi fa cai" greeting here and there :P
watched some SCV...gambled a little...
Relaxing afternoon....left at 4pm with Cynthia for home...my home i mean...

Happy birthday to my good friend whom i have know for 10 years already...
So how does it feel getting older? :P Miss Loo...
And do i hear wedding bells soon???

Haven't been blogging regularly...work, studies, and spending time with Cynthia
And being busy with some stuffs which will kinda affect my life...
whether or not to make the decision...it depends with a lot of factors...

Getting my iTune Prepaid card soon...meaning????
i can start downloading songs legally from the internet like all the other 10 million peeps
whom has purchased their music from the iTune Music Store, which is not available in Singapore :(
thanks to Brother James for your kind effort....Can't wait for my colleague to pass it to me on 1st of Feb...
Hmmm...what should i download first? Songs? Videos? or TV Shows?

Anyway, not to bored you guys with all this rubbish....

Wanna wish all those who read my blog
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!
GONG XI FA CAI!!!!
Hope i get more ang bao this year!! wahahahahaha

Photos galore....

Lots of flaming flamingos...

This American eagle kept moving when i was trying to get a snapshot of it, Cynthia said that it's just posing for the camera..wahahaha

This bald eagle, however, is simply 'bochup'

Next stop, Pelican cove...

I think the picture speaks for itself...

Tallest man-made waterfall in the world!!!

Under the waterfall...hahahah

Lory Loft....i like that wording made up by the birdies...

Lot of colourful lories in sight...whizzing by...

Horny pair of lories...get a room...or should i say, nest???

Taken at the Flamingo Café, while we are having coffee...

Enjoy....

Where do we go when we die????

Was taking a cab home...
after having supper with Cynthia and sending her home...
Pretty late, as she was having lessons as well....

Back to the cab, it's this old uncle whose driving...
asking me which route to take...so i was like...the usual, KJE, BKE then SLE...
exit at woodlands ave 12...
And he suggested..how about via Mandai Zoo there??? I was like...WTF
it will be like taking a bloody big loop...
Anyway i told him that i can direct him...

All of the above aint the most important...
but...throughout the whole journey, he was like going at 110-120km/hr...
i was like O_O
Everything was whizzing past the cab...
And this thought struck me...
"What if the cab 'buang'?"
Will i die?
If i do die...will anybody actually miss me?
Suddenly felt so vunerable....
So, i quickly snapped on my seat belt...
Never realised that i was so afraid to die... hahahahaha...
If i die, where will i go??? Is there a Heaven? Where i will spent the rest of my time there sing hymns...and basking in HIS's glory?
Or will i be sent to Hell? Doomed to be burnt in the eternal flames...

Maybe i just need a break.... :P

Almost raining the whole day again...
Will it keep on raining again tomorrow???

Still no time to upload the photos...maybe over the weekend...
Cheers...
Weekend is just around the corner!!! Yay..

rain, rain....go away, come again another day!!!

How long has it been raining???
since last saturday? or? i can't remember?
guess the global weather is really changing...thanks to us, human...
wahahaha...

The year 2006 has been a good one so far... Why?
hmmm... let me see....
i'm gonna complete two year of my part-time studies... of course, another two years to go
but it's okay...it's for a better future
Finally, my younger brother is moving on with his life, no longer STUPIDLY waiting for a relationship with no outcome...
at least he's going out on dates... which he should have done like so long ago...
Let's hope that this new gal is a nice gal that will be worth his time and feelings...

Went to the Jurong BirdPark on Hari Raya...
Pity the place was under renovations and it was RAINING... DAMN!!!
But walking around with a unbrella with the one important person with you...
i guess the rain doesn't really matters....hahaha...
Took some pictures...but having some problem uploading them...
will share with my mass readers...wahahahaha...
i noe you will be interested...FP, right? hahahaha...

As to the bro with some affairs of the heart...
you have my 100% support...but i think you gonna really try very hard...
My best wishes to you....

Tired...
Hope the rain will stop soon...can i have some sunny days???

1st of Jan 2006...

It’s been a rather fast 2005…
It’s now 2006…Wow…
And on the first day of 2006…kena my first red bomb…
Who’s the lucky guy? Weiping…my ITE coursemate…
Decent, nerdy looking guy with a “see all his teeth” signature smile…
Guess he decided to step into the grave of marriage early :P wahahahah
Who’s the bride? I have no idea, whatsoever… Apparently, she’s Weiping’s secondary school classmate or something…
Nothing against her, just find her rather fierce…maybe she don’t know us or something… but I guess on such a happy occasion… must she be like that????

Never expect him to get hitched so fast, because never did we hear him talking about having a girlfriend, and before you know it….Blam!!! Into the grave…Wahahahaha
Not that getting married is a bad thing, but guess it’s too sudden for me to accept, and he’s just the same age as me…Wow…
For people out there wondering…No, it’s not a case of “like that, like that lor, so must get married!” Hahaha
Anyway…my congrats again to the newly-weds!!!!

After the wedding…those of us who were at the dinner, namely Calvin, Kent and Kent’s girlfriend, Terry (pathetic right?), we decided to go to Zouk to chill out…
It’s been so long since I last went there…and with the recent major renovation it had, I’m definitely curious to go take a look…
And since Cynthia ain’t working on Monday(unlike poor Moi), decided to ask her if she interested to go have some fun too.
Got there at around 11.15pm…not much of a crowd. I guess most people probably had already partied on New Year’s Eve… Thanks to Kent’s wide networking we managed to secured a table…although it aint near the dance floor…it‘s enough! I’m old liao, cannot go dance-floor choing le…wahahaha

So we had our drinks…I just like drinking and swaying to the music and stealing kisses with Cynthia :P Wahahahaha…Guess it’s the company that matters when you go clubbing, in my opinion…Had fun with the blokes…it’s always fun to hang out with Calvin and Kent…they just seems to have fun with a snap of a finger…
Anyway…I left ard 1.30am…. cause I gotten work on Mon ☹

Still feeling pretty stoned as I’m updating this entry…

Happy New Year, to all who reads my blog….
Maybe all your resolutions and wishes come true in 2006.

Been a while...huh

Been so long since i updated my blog....
how long have it been? checking my last entry was like on 12 Dec...
and today? 30 Dec already... Phew...

Lots and lots kinda happened this couple of weeks...
mostly good things ba...
Guess i have been going out with my sweetheart almost everyday...
Feel so great to be in LOVE... with the special someone who's always on your mind...
24/7...

Let see....this month, there's christmas.... my first month with my love, and the New Year coming up in a few days...

Christmas...hmmm...didn't wanna go squeeze with the crowd in town, so we(my g/f & I) decided to head out to Marine Parade instead...get some dinner and head over to the beach for a walk... turns out East Coast is bustling with activites...with lots of people having BBQ and the lot of people actually setting up camps, probably spending the night there...
So we were discussing how uncomfortable and uneasy it's gonna be with so many people camping around you...and you can't do anything with the thought of people might actually hear you...wahahaha
guess if i have the money...i would prefer to get a nice hotel room with a nice view (where? think Sentosa would be great), at least privacy is guaranteed...
Nothing much beside strolling and sitting down and chatting about anything under the sky...
Like that kind of feeling... romantic i suppose...

Our first month... Got her surprised when i got something that she liked delivered to her workplace...
Kinda of throw her off track by telling her that the something is with me all the time and will pass it to her when we met up at night... so when the delivery got to her place...guess that kinda surprised her.... Do you like it? I hope you do :)
After that we had japanese buffet at River View Hotel....nice cosy place and we got the window seats...Thanks for the treat, Luv...

Well...as for the coming New Year...hmmm...
Guess i will not be heading anywhere...
Cos my darling will be busy at work... although i'm sure she won't mind if i go out with my frens or something...
but i don't know... if possible i would wanna be with her :P counting down....to the new year...

My brother and his frens are like asking me to join them to paint the town red! Wahahahaha....
Shall see how then....

To all my loyal readers...sorry for the late update....
A Belated Christmas Greeting....
And Happy New Year in advance!!!!

And some sua ku moments....i have never eaten this jackfruit thingy....
wahahaha....Well, thanks to Ah Mooi and Esther for pushing me to try this nice delight...


maybe i have been a too "safe" eater for too long already....
maybe i should open myself to more stuff....but i still HATE papaya!!!!

Today SUCKzzzz

Don't know what the hell is wrong with me...
my mind was in a blur the whole day...
nothing seems to be right...especially when i left the company...
was it stress over the test?
or what?
i DON'T KNOW!!!!!
ARGHHHHHH....
i just feel so angry inside....angry over what?
dunno...
Feel like shouting....but no where to vent...
Everything is in a whirl...
Stuffs like changing my work schedule to suit my bball training,
things that i have to do, things that i want to do...everything...
all lumped up....
Hai....i just wanna have all those STUPID things sorted out...
Why does it seems so hard...


Enough of all this nonsense
Let's move on to happier stuff...
Went to Uncle Ying Wei's wedding lunch on sunday at swissotel Merchant Court...
the place look really nice...and food was good too....
anyway only managed to took a picture with the handsome Ying Wei and lovely Joey jie jie
on the way out...


And something extra....

nice???
just hope she won't be mad when she sees me posting this picture here
:P

lemons...

When life gives you lemons...
choke on 'em and die.
You stupid lemon eater...

How true....most of the time, when we do something...
how much do thought do we actually put in it???
i'm not a lemon eater....wahahahaha...

Spend my day, clearing my room and table...actually it's just my desktop area lah...
and it took me the whole morning...most probably i was taking my own sweet time...
haha...
was going to revamp the "workstation" *wink* area, as per my mum's request...
but it didn't turn out the way we expected it to be...it was aborted..
hahaha...

Went to visit my uncle was in NUH for like 13 days, at least this time he's up and awake...
can't get of the bed yet...but he can eat and talk slightly...which is a good time and a relieve...
what cause him to be in this state? too much smoking maybe???
my dad is a smoker...been donkey years, we are tryin to dis-encourage him to smoke...but to no
avail...hopefully with uncle's example...it might actually frighten him enough for him to drop the bad habit...

with the cup of ice-blended i had on the way back...i'm not even sleepy... :(

who are we talkin about???

wahahaha....pretty neat line you can use to confuse somebody mid-way thru a conversation
anyway...this quote is taken from Chicken Little the movie....
Yup, i went to catch the show with Cynthia...sorry about the changing the timing again and again..
sound like ya rather pissed...
Well, i promise i'll TRY not to do that again okay?
hahahaha....

Well...wat happen over this week....
hmmm...my lunch kaki cum advice dispenser cum teabreak kaki cum good bro, Mr JL, flew off to US
hope i can save enough to go visit ya next year....hahahaha
yesterday...think gonna be missing him ba (sound kinda gayish hor) wahahahaha...
went to send him off at changi airport, along with KKK, his folks and a couple of his uni friends...
no mushy moment noted...wahahahaha
JL's mum is so friendly and funny....
Well...the next time he'll be back is probably 6 mth later ba...
In case you are reading this, JL, remember my iTune prepaid card okay????
send it to me pls pls pls pls....

What a hectic day....two games back to back...
and i have to come home with cramping legs
Like Cynthia said...that's the "dai jia" of winning....
hahaha...wasn't counting on getting cramps...hope it won't affect the next day game tomorrow...
so would you be interested to come see me play?? Luv.... ya not heading to M'sia le right?
hahahaha...should i even be saying this here? wahahaha
if you think i shouldn't, let me know k?

Till tomorrow ba....
tired....superly tired...
the only happy thing worth mentioning? this new topping from pizza hut is nice...
"chicken and shroom" give it a try if you got the chance!!!

how do you know???

how do you know if what you have decided upon is the right thing???
how do you know if things will be better with new changes???
what if all these new changes just screw things up more?

So stress.... about all the things that's happening aroound me...
Change is good... if it's executed in the proper way.... in a timely manner...
that's what i have learnt from all this...

News of another colleague gonna be leaving soon....
So is all this changes good?
i don't know...

shun shun de yi tian....

Again...it's my first day at work :(
this whole week.....argh, 6 days...i hope i don't get to do this again...
although there aint much to do in office beside the usual stuff...but working on sat?
Yucks....
Didn't join Esther, KKK, May, CG and most importantly, JL in their seafood escapade in J.B.
just didn't want to cross the custom... and i just got "something" up *wink*
Guess i could just make it up with a farewell coffee on the 2nd, just before JL fly off to US.

27th of Nov 2005, this day....
it's gonna be marked as an important date in my own calendar...why?
I'm not gonna tell....all i can say, life is moving on :P
hahahaha...

Fairly easy-going day at work...Thanks for meeting me for lunch, CK :)
and thanks for coming all the way down, really appericate it a lot.

It's been a long while since i last played for my club, Chong Ghee Sport Club
had the intention of quitting the club, because i aint getting any of the play time...
and most of the time i was on the bench...which was really demoralising...
But last night, i had a number of minutes on the court...and i got my 10 pts (yeah, i know it aint a lot, but it's a start right!)
and slowly i'm clicking with the guys too....
i guess it feel good to be WANTED....wahahahaha
And we won our first game...

Just felt bad that i couldn't turn up for the FFBL game...which luckily we won....

So in all...everything was going the right way it should be going....
hence my title for the day...wahahahahaha

happy....so happy....

Why? Don't know...
just feel happy...
reached office at 2.30pm today....LOL
Went to SLT upon my supervisor's request to get new replacements for a faulty part...
If only, i get to do this every week...Waahahahahah

Just in a super happy, cheery mood today, can't think of any special reasons...
Could it be i'm working with my fave senior today?
Or? because i get to go into office late? Or, it's my last working day?
Hmmm...whatever it is....
If only i can be like this everyday...

The recent re-org of the whole department is creating a lot of rumors, and scares among my co-workers...
For me? Nothing much have changed...still reporting to the same supervisor, and with her being so nice to me lately
Was kinda worried that i might have a new boss...LOL...
She mentioned that she gonna assign me with a new job scope.
Kinda worried, but excited...
i feel that it's a challenge...I hope that i'm able to match up to the task though...
think i'm getting lazy and sloppy at this current work i'm doing...

Hahaha...but i better not count my chicks before the eggs hatch...
Think i better just observe how things goes these couple of weeks...

Just received my Chartered Challenge Trophy...




yeah yeah...you people can say all you want about me showing off...
but i have it, DO you? Wahahahaha

Exorcism of Emily Rose.....

Some things i learnt from the movie...
--- Don't to be too kaypoh, because when you do. Demons does exist and they will come and find you! LOL
--- If you "get" waken up at 3am in the morning and smell something burnt, Just ignore it and go back to sleep...
dun ask why... :P

Hope i didn't just said some spoiler for the show, for those who are intending to watch it..
nevertheless, it's a really nice show...
Didn't have a lot of the scary scenes (IMO) that i was expecting, just more of those usual "shock tactics"...bang here, bang there....
the usual...
and since it based on a true story, wonder where is the tomb of Emily Rose now...
not that i will be able to go visit it....just curious...
:) you people know what i mean..

Did i mention that i caught the show with nine other people? hahaha
we got the whole row to ourselves....been a while since i caught a movie with so many friends..
Fun, i would say...

Straight after that...we had the K-session as planned....
everybody was happily singing away...from 12am till 4am hahahaha...
As for me, i'm just there for the booze...and yeah, i did the occasional song here and there...
and i think non-mainstream songs are more of my forte...
wahahahaha...
Better leave the nice songs to all the rest, like CG, May and JL etc etc...
and not forgetting my senior too....lol

Wah...no qualms about CG singing...the moment his voice enter the song...Whoa...
sound just like Jacky Cheung leh!!!!! and it make all of us sounds like amurters...
really is "no horse run!!!!"

One thing that i don't understand, why does one need to bring a videocam to the k-session?
it's so dark in there...so i doubt the resolution can be any good :P
Maybe it's just because i don't like her at all....so i'm kinda pissed with all the little things she does?
wahahahaha....
I'm evil...
(recall to the movie earlier) I'm the one who dwell within...spooky :P

I guess everybody had lots of fun this "morning". cos i did...
wanna do it again? yeah, but not so soon....
For now, i just wanna get some sleep :P

My sunday....

Just got home...
it's been a lousy day...so should I say losing day?
Today is the opening day of the new season for the Friendship Filipino basketball League (FFBL)
I play in the team, Barakos...Which means raging bull in Filipino....
We have some very outstanding recuits for this new season...on paper, we look invincible...
but in reality....It was kinda of a big mess...
I think big is an understatement here....LOL.. Should be huge...
there is no long any balance in the team... The style that we are so used too, have been totally wrecked by the new recuits..
maybe it's a case of not having enough practice... But..... hai
in the end, we lose our opening game.... By 20 points if I remember correctly...
losing hurts, as a player.... But I can say I tried my best....

Few of us, really felt that this season we might actually have short season..Based on the way we are playing...
I felt the same too....


After this game...There is this church league...Which I have been playing for the past two months...
throughout the league...If I can remember, we barely won two games....And we could still make it to the quaterfinal...
tonight is another one of the do-or-die game...If we win, we will proceed to the semis...If not, we are OUT

For me....I'm kind of having a internal struggle...
as a player, I want to win....
but as a non-player, I want to lose this game...
cos I don't want my sundays to be burn anymore...
maybe I'm getting too tired....

In the end...We LOST...
happy? No..Cos my pride is kicking me inside...
i hate losing...i don't think any sane-minded athetle wants to lose...
so am i...

Maybe when i wake up tomorrow after a good night sleep, i can be glad that i have my sunday to myself...

For now...i just wanna enjoy my ice-cold Tiger beer..and head on to bed

time to put some focus on my lessons....
and to look forward to the K session at the end of the week with my colleagues...

Monday, everybody....hope ya all don't have monday blues!!!! Wahahahahah

God made alcohol as a social lubricant. To make men brave, and to make women loose....

I like this quote...
taken it off from this show that i caught yesterday with a fren...
REally enjoyed the show a lot...i guess it's been a while since i been to town and catch a show...
even when i was with my ex...it was just dinner, den we will head back home...
I think i've been losing touch with life in town after 8pm..hahahaha

The show is "Just like Heaven"
I would highly recommend it....be it watching it as a comedy or a romance flick...
laughed my head off...
especially the exorcism part? the power of christ compels you? wahahahahaha

Turns out that the Christmas lightings is already on since Thurday...
But like CK said... it just aint that special anymore...
I guess that's life...when you grow up... some things just don't appeal to you in that special way anymore...
But in my opinion, isn't all this small llittle things that make you life bright up, although you know that it there, and so wat?
but if you look at it simply? it still mean something...
Or maybe i'm just a simpleton?
hahahahaha....
I think it's better to be easily satisfy with things around you...and it leaves you with more room to strive forward too...
and it will make living in S'pore more bearable? (am i making any sense here?) hahahaha... even when you know that it a bigger and wider world out there...

Happy Birthday, Tiger!!!

Today is the birthday of my younger brother...who has turned 19 today...
hope he could be more sensible, and to be nicer to mum... your one and only mum in the world!

Today is the final of the Inter-Semicon tournument. While i was away last weekend to Genting/KL for a getaway, Chatered lost the game to STM and the result?? We are only left with 3rd or 4th placing to fight for :(
Felt so pressured since thursday, when everybody i seen, are asking me to MAKE SURE that we win today...
and we did won....and i was awarded a trophy as one of the dream team member called the Mythical Five...
tired....
but worthwhile i guess...

Hari Raya...

Public hoilday today....so no work...
Went out with a friend...to catch a movie and dinner...
movie-wise...totally disappointing...
it's the show, "Home Sweet Home", starring Shu Qi and Karen Lim....
Expecting it to be a some sort of horror film where i can get some cheap thrills from...
End up???? the frightening scenes were over within the starting hour... Chey...

but the film does try to bring forward the message....
Motherly love is the GREATEST...hahahaha...

You look great! CK, sorry if i haven't mentioned before :)

After dinner at Di Tai Feng, where i satisfied my carving for xiao long baos....
Sorry, CK, i didn't send ya back.... :(
Headed down to Eduard's place at CCK for a gathering...
First time, i been to a Pinoy's family place...
it's really easy to settle down after a few drinks...
food was INTERESTINGLY nice... we had the usual chicken wing, and BBQ boar head meat!!! How do you beat that???
hahahaha...actually it's kinda same as the suckling pig we have during chinese weddings...but this time round, it's the boar(adult pig) we are eating instead...wahahahah
Getting really tispy after lots of Jim Beam and Voka...had a cup of coffee before i left...
whether will anything happen if i mix kopi with liqour....i hope i don't get a stomach upset tomorrow...
hahahaha....

Post Genting/KL trip

Genting and Kuala Lumper is great...
been there so many times, it still feel good...
but this time round...it's kinda different, been so long since the whole family went out together...
hopefully this is a small start to more family outing, to hopefully further places...
wahahahaha....
Pity Brother JL couldn't make it due to some A**-hole agent...

Now for the break-down...

Genting...still as chilly to me as before...
maybe it's because i'm the kind that get cold really easily...
so i find the weather on Genting something to love and loathe...
But still it's GREAT...
First time i won in the Genting Casino... Just wanted to try my luck on anything...to get some more extra pocket money
and how lucky can one get?
1 time on the russian roulette....and bingo...
Instant 36 times of the RM10 i betted....
I was so so so thrilled!!!!
But alas none of the people i knew was around me :(
trying so hard to contain my joy....
the thrill is ....... WOW!!!!

But i guess my luck just start at that only hand....anything else i played in later...all kena makan by Uncle Lim
But it's still a big win!!! Wahahahaha
Looks like my new Levi's jeans is pretty much covered....LOL
Lots of walking around and look see here and there....

On the 28th afternoon, we departure from Genting to KL...
the hotel that we are staying in is Radius International...
I would say it is in a rather good location, considering it just 5mins walk from the hotel to Jalan Bukit Bintang and Sungei Wang...
Went to Time Square on the very same afternoon and had dinner at the Chinatown (not too sure how to spell out the cantonese name of that place, think it's Chi Chong Kai)
Food is great...too bad Bro JL....you still didn't try the delicious seafood in aluminium foil thingy
but here's some pic for your viewing pleasure...wahhahahaha


See the nice spread??? you could almost smell it!

Look at the smile on Esther's face...


Second day, we went to Sunway Pyramid for more SHOPPING...Somehow to me, this aint a relaxing weekend getaway thingy anymore....but a walk here, walk there trip...i think i probably clocked at least 20km minium during the two days i'm there...
after Sunway, we head to the nearby Mid Valley...more shopping follows...but i didn't got anything there...
the weekend crowd is just too much...it take too much time just to try on the clothes you want to buy...
So to beat the peak hour traffic...we decided to take the LRT system...something refreshing for my parents...
Somehow we had to stop at Times Sqaure again...partly to collect our altered jeans and for more shopping for Esther and Perene....and my younger brother too!

We stopped at 8 plus before heading to the street whereby the food is highly recommended by bro JL, indeed the food there is really nice...especially the chicken wings (from the end of the street) and the fried "bao yu" mushroom.
Again for your viewing pleasure, bro JL, whahahahahaha


delicious chicken wings from the end of the street...

delicious sting ray too!! Yum Yum

last but not least, the famous fried Bao Yu Gu...

once again...our model of the trip strike again...

the place we didn't went to :(

nice??

But i prefer this one...hahaha

And some of the miscellanous pictures....Enjoy!!

Lawrence and Brian

Tiger and Esther

Tiger and Me

Genting away from everything....

it's my birthday today....
Yes, yes i'm one year older...from now on i will have to offically tell anybody who ask me, "what's my age?"
and i will have to reply, "I'm 25!"
Yes, LimBH, i didn't lied about my age when you asked me a couple of days ago...i was 24 then, but if you do ask me again, i will gladly tell you, i'm 25 liao le.... if that will please you in any way....

So how special was my day on my birthday??? Well, early in the morning, i got my Mum really angry. Why?
I was supposed to be having dinner with the whole family at the Thai food restursant at Sembwang Shopping Centre,
but i turn her down, so that i can go for this certain church league basketball game. Which we lost! (DAMN). So first thing i got my mum pissed...she took the day of from work for this dinner, i feel so bad...
i'm such a lousy son...

2nd bad new on my birthday, looks like JL might not be able to make it for the weekend getaway...
Hai...WTF is wrong with everything today??? Why can't they process the stupid visa thingy faster?
Just when i thought we could go drink to our hearts delight...and not care more about the world.
I got to be hit by such bad news...Damn again!

Thanks to those few who smsed me, wishing me "happy birthday"
Thanks to Calvin for the fruit smoothie at Spinelli...
Got to say, i'm kinda touched...
I guess i wasn't really forgotten afterall....
hahahaha...
Thanks...

yes yes yes

yes....i pass...
i pass my ippt liao...
no more worries....
so happy today....

and only left with the stupid exam results...
hopefully i can get all passes for them den i can go enjoy my holiday trip in peace!!!

Saturday nite...Pee Ya's Wedding and Sunday

Been a busy Saturday...
Not exactly busy either...
Yesterday, my Si Gu's daughter had a wedding reception at the Grand Hyatt Hotel...
it's more of a lunch cum tea-break affair, unlike the conventional dinner...
Anyway, I didn't attend, because I don't really want to. End up, my mum and my brother attended it
I just hitched a ride with them on the cab, as I wanted to go to town to have a walk before my company's Bball game
which was at 4plus :(

Well, good news...Chartered won AGAIN...
these days winning seems like a formality...
wahahahahaha....

Straight after the games, which ended around 6pm, I rushed back home to wash up so that I won't be late for Pee Ya's wedding dinner. Everybody was telling me, "aiyah, Chinese dinner won't start on time one lah!" Which I totally protested!! But I guess the habit of arriving late for this sort of dinner, is kinda too deeply etched in the mindset of most people...
Hai...Sad but true!!! I was late too...but not because I wanted too, but the stupid ball games started late. :p

So when I got to the Peninsula Execlsior Hotel, which was around 7pm...colleagues that I hang out with, aren't not even there yet.... Wah....

Anyway, there are some photos I took...
Must say Pee Ya look so different, almost can't recognise her already.
Saw Mrs Lye also :P wahahahaha


The invite at the lobby...


(from left) Me, KeeKhoon, Sinyan, Perene, Pee Ya, Bride Groom, Esther and Ah Moi


May and her Guan Guan aka Ken... Wahahaahah


Me and my "gan jie" :P Wahahahahah


At the request of Tze Kiong...

After the dinner... Kee Khoon, Esther, Perene and Me met up with JL and we went to somewhere at
Upper Serangoon to continue our drinking session, and luckily the place "The GrapeVine" does offer
live soccer and i managed to catch some of the World Cup Qualifier Match between England and Austria

So Shiok...just doing nothing and downing Hoegarden....think i took about 3 bottles on top of the red wine at the wedding dinner... Don't know what came over me... I just wanted to drink, maybe i was sad or down... I don't know
I just thought if i kept on drinking... I will feel better and i'll forget everything... Hahahaha

Came back home around 2-3 plus....
and it was black-out until the alarm clock went off at 6.30am...

Yes, Reality is back... I gotta work on Sunday... :(

-----------------------------

A final note....Our Chartered Team finished the first round of the Inter-semicon competition with a ALL-win record...

Hope those we read my blog had a great weekend... i suppose i had...

Tired...

REally getting tired these days...
everybody in office who sees me...ask me the same question.
"Why are you so tired?"
How to tell them? I'm playing in a lot of bball games...
Just this week, tues and wed....follow by sat and sun...
I think my body is totally exhausted....
I need some rest... any somebody kind enough to give me some massage mah?


-----

Seems like things between LL and her b/f is all sort out...
So happy for her...think the only thing left for her is to QUIT SMOKING!!!
in case you are reading this....Yes, i hope you kick the habit soon, so the next time i go out with you. I don't have to stand beside a rubbish bin and wait for you to finish smoking...Okay??? :P

-----

Looks like playing in the inter-con games has it perks after all...
the CC i'm representing...has promise us a oversea trip if we could actually win the tournment...
Guess where are we going? USA...
Sound really good, but i really wonder if we can actually go that far in the tournment....
I seriously think we are lacking in depth... Nothing to think about actually...
I'll just remember this "Never count your chicks before the egg hatches"
LOL...

Oh yeah...the winning streak continues....wahahahaha, love the feeling...

my sunday....

slept at 3.30am this morning....woke up at 6.30am
rather stoned...
Went to meet up with my poly-classmate at DBL O, first time there....i think the number of times i go clubbing, to keep count, all the fingers on both my hand is enough. But strangely, why do people don't believe me, when i said i'm not a chiongster??? Do i give out the impression that i am??? Anybody could enlighten me??? LOL

Rather surprised to see CZ, so much different from while he's in class...wahahahaha... But it was fun...meeting some new friends... but can't seems to remember any of the new fren's names... i have never been good with names...

Like the music there....Saturday is Retro Night... the place is pretty packed by 11pm.... didn't have much time to indugle in the atomsphere.... because, i still had another mission that night...

that was to keep my close friend, LL, of 10 years (both of us were kind of surprised) listening to some of her relationship problems...
she's kind of in a dilemma...Good or bad? I can't decide for her..
could only lend her my ears...And keep her company as she didn't want to go back home too early...

Strangely I asked myself, if I could treat another friend, as good as I treat her...
I can't answer that...At least I try to treat everybody around me with a sincere heart...
If anybody wanna puke after reading this...please go ahead....LOL

Been laze around the office...it one of those days..where there's totally nothing....Absolutely nothing to test...
but the freaking lab is so freaking cold......
i admit i was sleeping on the job the whole day....so what? Sue me....


Feeling so restless.... thinking of some silly stuff... confused over some silly stuffs too...
Hope LL get her things sorted out....
Can't bear to see my best friend in that sad state....

Finally....all is over...

As of yesterday....the semester has finally concluded...
what's left now is the trival task of waiting for the results to be annouced...
which i totally have no confidence in... hai...
if i do manage to clear this sem.... i swear i will buck up and do my best for the next sem...

Got my new toy a couple of days ago....
really loved it to hell...
here... take a look :P


Cool..ain't it? just like the 'zen' looks all Apple products have...


Everything attached...with my in-ear headphones...


See how thin it is....


the chrome back is really 'chio' too

----------------------------

Feeling kinda lost in the office today...
felt so tired.... don't think it the after-effect of waking up to catch the Man U vs Benfica match at 2.30am
now that i get to go back home everyday....it starting to become a hassle to think of what i can do when i get home.
And over the past two weeks... it's ball games after ball games....
i think my body is really felling the strain...
Gonna feel some good, cheap and effective ways to relax myself...
Thanks JL and KKK for the offer to go "uphill" but i don't have the leave nor the extra time, due to the commitment to the ball games i'm in...
Don't know when...with my bro, JL flying off soon....and KKK gonna be changing to the other shift....
I'm thinking if i CAN change to the same shift as he is...
don't wanna face the 'senior' every freaking day....if i can't change back...i think i rather opt for the normal mon-fri work week.
Gonna catch some sleep now, waking up to catch the Liverpool vs Chelsea match later....

What can i do??? Arghhhhh.....
Why can't life be simple....why am i always thinking so much stupid stuff....
pui....

Mid-Autumn....

Can you see how full the moon is??? No? Sorry, my h/p camera sucks...

Somehow looking at the full moon, make me sad...
it's supposed to be a night where people gather together....to enjoy the full moon
but i was sitting at the nearby basketball court, looking at xiao mei mei, playing badminton...
staring at the blank field beyond the court....

What am i doing here???

I don't know....

But i feel so relaxed, abiet those STUPID Mosquitoes kept kissing me...
ARGHhhhhhhhh

I know i can achieve more.....I want more too...
And i gonna let go of the past....
it's over....looking into my wallet, realised that i had never taken "her" photo out....
i'm so useless.....

Mid-Autumn is tomorrow...

Went down to the local Coffee Bean to get a Cuppa and look thru some examination notes...
dunno what is wrong with me, it just seems that i can study at home, even though there isn't any form of distraction to distract me...
i just can get myself to settle down and study :( hai.....

As i have to pass through the playground near my block before i can get to the coffee joint..
Lots of children and adults were there, having gathering, playing with sparkler (those firework thingy), kids were playing with candles and lighting them up one by one...running around with their lanterns, ranging from those candle-lilted kind to those super modern battery-operated kind....wahahahahaha

So fun....
if only my mid-autumn was as exciting as theirs...
i remember the first time i went to play-ground to play during the mid-autumn's eve, i ended up gashing my knee, with blood free-flowin, i got a earful from my mum....
the second year....the same thing happened...since then, i was barred from going to the playground...
kinda sad childhood....almost hated my mum for it, when i look out the kitchen window and see all the kids having fun...
i guess it was partial my own fault too...too eager to be running around and never look....

Mid-autumn eve also reminds me the first time i went to my ex-girlfriend house, where i was formally introduced to her parents for the first time... it really brings back a lot of memories...

Memories are sweet, yet they can be so painful too...

iPod Nano.....i want

I WANT a iPOD Nano!!!!
I want, I want!!!!!!
see this gal having it on the MRT today....it's so COOL!!!! 0_0

Didn'’t go to work today, because I have to accompany my mum to the Singapore General Hospital for a appointment. Apparently, she felt a small lump at her lower left cheek, and since she can'’t speak any English, I have to act as her interpreter.
She really worried about it.…keep thinking if it might be something more serious than it could really turn out to be…

Actually I hate going out with her though…but as a filial son that I am :P if I don't, who will??? My younger brother? If he'’s that dependable in the first place, I won'’t have to be here now.… Come to think of it, what is he doing now? Probably still lying in his sack. Lazy Ass!!
Back to my mum.… why do I hate hitting the street with her? I think it must be her tendencies to complain at the slightest matter that she encounter, whether it is or is not her business. Be it waiting at the counter or waiting for the lift? She can go, “blah blah, why is it taking so long? What is that receptionist doing? Why is she taking her own sweet time? etc etc….

Arghhh…. enough said!!!

I hate it, but she my mum… and I still love her...…
/me blushed…

Here's some pic i took at chinatown while i was there for lunch with my mum...


Hou Yi and the seven suns....i think
that's the theme for the Mid-Autumm Festival...i guess...


Pomole...is it spell this way???


Apparently this store's moon-cake is very good....the quene was Damn long...


and it ain't cheap either...a small box like this cost will set you back by 6 bucks!!!

Hmmm.....

Been a while since my last entry....
Busy over work and school projects...
Everything is like a whirlwind....spinning round and round....
Sleep is something i have not been getting enough off...

but some stuff i wanna say,
My condolences to JL....over the loss of his grandma...

Looks like i got myself in some sort of deep shit....how???
Have i been giving her mixed signals?? i don't know...
Guess i just take everything a step at a time...

Felt great after the 10 km run yesterday, felt so refreshed after the gruesome run...
Think i should be doing this more often...and it seems like my pair of lungs are still doing fine...

Couple of weeks more before everything related to school comes to an end...
Just have to pick myself up and endure all the way till the finishing line...

SNAG, Metrosexual, now Retrosexual???

What the hell do women want???
First, they want a guy who is not afraid of showing him emotions, someone who is in touch with the senstive side...
someone who is not afraid to cry...blah blah...
Won't that make him a wimp in front of the gal??? Strange right??

The world is changing is much.....i think the women probably don't even know what the hell do they want in a guy anymore, with the earning power and spending power they command...
While they expect to be up to par with any guy, but the still expect to be treated like a spolit brat....
Man!!!!

-----------------------

My poor brother.....i thought he had managed to escape the crutches of the B$%&*, but i was wrong...
thought that finally is able to move on and seek new pasture....but...
Why do people keep running around in circles....
Sad....to see him get so frustrated...
kept saying that he's a useless fool, who will be always waiting for her...
what's so good about her??
When i ask him what happened, he could still denied that nothing is going on, when his face has already betrayed all his thoughts....
Pity....Pls make him grow up....
If i can, so can he....
Please.....if there's a higher being out there....
Crap...i must be crazy saying all this....
wahahahhahaha...

this week...

hmmm...
been busy the while week over a Logic Design mini project...
And although the most difficult portion have been solved....but i can't help thinking if i had done the right thing by showing the whole class what i had done...
Or should i had just kept it to myself and just waited till the day i'm supposed to submit it to the lecturer, and just do it quietly?
Hmmm....seems like everybody is copying my design and ..... Pui....the feeling sucks....
Although it's more of like helping everyone in the class, but.... What if? What if i didn't bring it up? would the other "smarter" one do the same? Or will they also be like me....

hai.....

maybe i'm thinkin too much....
Helping people should be a good thing right? So why am i feeling not happy about it??

Is being selfish better?? or?

Chat with a colleague....

One afternoon, I was sitting beside one of my colleague surfing the internet, out of the blue, she asked me, "Brian, Do you have a girlfriend?" I was rather reluctant to answer her question, but i guess one have to let go of the past. I replied, "We broke up couple of months back." She seems surprised!

I was thinking, WTF i'm so ugly meh? Cannot have girlfriend har??? #$%&

And she contiuned asking, "How long have you been together?" I told her... hmmm, going 6 year plus ba! Now her eyes opened even bigger, a bit dumbfolded... Guess what she said? I thought my relationship was long leh....Wah, yours is even longer wor, so rare these days. I was ??!!?? WTFFFFF...cannot meh???

Anyway, she tried to probed further, why i broken up with her....blah blah blah. Anyway the bottom line is we broken up. Not due to personality incompatiablity, but some other reasons...

Seven year leh, isn't it a pity? You bear to give it up meh? Don't you miss her? Will you still wait for her to turn back?

What can i do if she doesn't want to come back? if 7 years of relationship is important to her, i really cannot figure up why she could just so convniently jump into another relationship...What CRAP!!!

Anyway i pleaded her, i cried for her, i was in a daze for her...for what? Worth it?
With nothing to look back at the only way is to look in front and leave everything behind. And when i mean everything...that would include memories....those are the killers that suck you into the never-ending loop of hoping she might come back to you.. Pui!

"You must let her go out to try mah, then she will know that you are the better one!" She commented. Then? I replied. So i must foolishly await her return har? Aint that STUPID???

...................................................

Well, turns out she's also just ended her five year long relationship a month ago. I was, "Oh!", the same guy in your photo album? yeah, she confirmed... I guess that the reason why i never wanted to go for a photo-shoot with my ex, even though she insisted.
"So what happened?" i ask. Personality-clash was her reply! What??? Only after five years together, then you discover that you guys aren't compatiable?? What rubbish!!! You guys are even living under the same roof. (She stayed at her b/f place). So where are you staying now? i enquired?? I'm still staying at his place.

O_o

"I just don't shared the same room with him anymore." she said.
Isn't it arkward seeing him around after what happened? I asked.
Oh, no lah, he will try to avoid me de....

After all this, i just felt that she is so DAMN childish...and what she said later really confirmed my thinking...

She said, you know how hard is for me(after the breakup)?
Nobody drive me to out to work anymore, i have to walk all the way out the dark alley every morning to take the company transport to work.
He used to "da pao" food for me, but now nobody buy food for me anymore... So many things i have to do myself! I was so dependent on him! And he just left me like this...It so hard...

WTF lah.. Wake up!!! Gal You are responsible for your own life...
If you want to be serve 24/7 by someone, better to get a maid....can serve you more dedicated!!!
Wake up to Reality! please


Gals are just so hard to please....

Random thoughts...

Just back from a gruesome basketball match....
We lost again...
Feel so down...
We couldn't defend as a team...
Neither could we attack as a unit...
there is no corrdination of any sort...
When i talking to my Chartered team-mate, when we were going back together.
I asked him, " How can we expect to win like this?"
Guess what his reply was??? "We are not playing to win in the first place."
I was like ?!!??!!?
If we weren't playing to win, so why bother to play anyway???
Isn't it a waste of time???

I think i'm obsessed with winning... I want to win in anything i play in...
Be it just a friendly match or a match against a lousy team...
I just want to WIN...
I hate that losing feeling....
Especially when the player from the oppsing team says to you, "Hey, good game!!"
I was like....WTF???? How could it be a good game when we lost to your team?
It wasn't as if it was a one-sided contest....but i feel that both sides were evenly matched...
I HATE THIS!!!! I want to start winning some games....
I feel that if we lost too much games, we might actually lose the desire to win anymore....

Now if only i can start applying this to my daily life and not just on playing basketball....
ARGHHhhhhh
