Drinking and lots of drinking...

Long weekend for the this and the coming week...
Wow...
And i'm gonna be casting my Virgin Vote (神勝的一標) Wahahahaha
Crapping so much...
Been drink quite a bit, for the past few days...

First, on Wed nite, met up with my good friend of 10 years...
Wah...times really flies...
Chit-chatted about all the stupid stuffs in life...
Problem she faces in her personal life...
Hai... never knew that affair of the heart can be so hard to resolve...
at least not for me i guess...
When it's over... it's over
Why all the hassle and crap???
So what was i drinking????
Here...

A pint of Hoegaarden


Seems like these days that's my first choice of alcohol beverage. It doesn't leave a bitter aftertaste as compared to other kind of beer that i had before...

So both of us had a pint each, and obviously it aint enough for me, so i had another regular one...didn't took picture to compared the difference...

Well, on friday night, i went out with a bunch of kids...
hmmm...youngster i would call them, not kids lah...afterall they are all at least 20 plus years old already.... hahahahaha
One of my brother's friend birthday...
So where did we went to??

Cozy little place, at really cold temperature...
was cold like hell...and it's really small....
But not a bad place to hang out though.

The "youngster" crowd i was hanging out with...

The drinks we had...a Johnny Walker and some soda and fruit mixers...

My brother...

A toast with the birthday boy...

Well after we finished what we had on the table, we ordered some more shot and cocktail and "Tar" with the birthday boy...
In the end, what happened? He got real "high" of course...
Wahahahaha....and it funny, looking at all of them, highly intoxicated...
Well, at least they didn't get into any trouble...
Seems like my brother is getting worried about his own birthday, seeing how birthday are celebrated...

十年前．...

Was a boring day at work...
The FA folks removed the hot chuck device that i connected to my tester chuck.
Clear up the mess, setup everything...did the troubleshoot stuff as prescribed in the emails...
Did some of the stuff i was required to do... Nobody came to bother me, nor did i went to bother anybody until the later afternoon...
Life is good.. so quiet, so free... so sianzzz...
Maybe it's just the Monday blues...

Looking for new jobs... anybody have one to introduce???

Went to classes after work, brave through the freaking heavy rain...
Reach class, can't remember my password to log into the system...
Wah lau eh....
But suay suay...the server also DOWN... Wahahahaha
End up, the first lesson is cancelled...

While waiting for the second class to begin, went to get a cuppa of kopi with a few of the guys..
Eric was commenting that while he was doing some of his work at Temasek Poly, all the newbie look so "kin na"
Which made us realise...that we are all so old already...
Imagine those we are at least 9/10 years old then those newbies...
OMG...
i guess time really passes by when you cross the 21 yr old mark...
Can't even believe that we can even reference things as long as ten years ago...
Man....
We ARE getting old...
Hahahahaha

Skipped lesson...

Just wasn't in the mood to be going to school for today's lesson...
Could it be the weather??? It's been raining the whole afternoon...
I don't know... maybe i'm just the kind of person easily affected by stuff/elements around me...
Wahahahaha...
What the hell am i talking about...

Is there even a Hell??? Hmm...

So i just took the MRT in the oppsite direction and headed towards City Hall...
was getting hungry... wondering what to have for dinner...
When this stuck me...

Always wanted to give it a try ever since it had reach Singapore's Shore...
Just didn't have the chance nor time...
I'm sorry, my dear... I know we once promised to go there makan together...
Well, guess my craving got the better off me...

I had the Charbroiled Mushroom burger.... it was huge... and it is indeed nicer than Burger King's Mushroom Swiss Double...
And i was even given the option of adding bacon or onion rings in it...
Everything was served pipping hot...ala Mos Burger's style...
Yummy.....

Had my dinner, finish the newspaper while i was there....
was walking out of Suntec toward the MRT to go back...

Saw lots of those voluteers sling those big big donation box collecting donation for the elders
kinda wonder how was it like? to be sling that across your shoulder...
Maybe i should give it a try....
How does it feel to be doing a good deed, not just donating money, but actually contributing some sweat (Eeeekks) for a good cause...
Well...all i did was popped some loose changes...and left...
How was i supposed to feel??? Good?

I don't know... just nothing...
kinda like numbed...
hahahaha....
What the hell is wrong with me???

Feelings...how do you know???

How do you know what people wants???
how do you know what your parents want from you?
how do you know what your siblings want from you?
how do you know what your loved ones want from you???

How??? Would you get your answer just by opening your mouth to ask them???
Or do you hope to guess from their gestures and behavior???
Or do you just sit there and wait for them to tell you instead???
Or why not simply "bochup" and save yourself some time and trouble....

How do you tell people what you want???
How do you express it???
Openly??? Discreetly???
What is the correct way??? Can anybody teach me???
:(

Frustrating... What is the proper way???
Is there even a proper way??
*sigh*

If there isn't one...the next best thing is to numb your thoughts...
Does anybody out there know how to??
Thoughts which you can't help surfacing in your mind...
What do you do??? Take some Panadols??? Hoping that it will kill it off like a headache??
Hahahahaha....

Life is full of so much contradictions....
sometimes it's a pain....
------------------------------------------------------

Great Wednesday...manage to go workout in the company gym....haven't been there in age since the staff lonage was converted into office space...everything there remains pretty much the same...just that it is now relocated in a studio, where you can see those women doing their yoga, pilates, or even aerobics... in their undersized skimpy workout clothes... which kind of a turn off.... just imagine trying to squeeze everything into a undersized luggage, end up having stuff over spilling at the side... Yucks
Wahahahahahaha....

Will try to make time to go gym every Wed...to slowly regain my fitness...which i lost over the last 6 months...arghhhh...
Guess what i need now is a spotting partner...
any volunteers? :)

None...

Wah, so long since i last update my blog....
Been busy with the usual....work,Bball, my dearie and other misc stuffs...
Well...here's my usual rant...

Today is the 2nd day of School...
after a 7 weeks break/holiday....techinically i won't call it a holiday nor a vacation
cos i still have to go to work... hahahaha *Sian*

Well, seems like more people are joining the original class...
More strangers to deal with...
Well, for a start, i'm not talking to any of them yet....
Don't feel the need to anyway...

Everything in office is still revolving the stupid $30 increment we had...
hai.... Even when i tried not to think about it... I can't help feel sore about it...
not because of i just got that $30 like everybody else...

Wondering when is the PBA (Performance Based Appriasal) review gonna be??
But like i said, what's the purpose of that? if you are promoted people when they are not even performing???
What a joke ain't it???
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Was on a cab on monday nite, heading home...
when the cab uncle start to talk about his second son....
sad.... to hear about what happened between him and his son...
long story to type out also...so i guess i'll just leave it alone...
but just to conclude...

Be Respectful to the elders....
Show your parents the due respect they deserve...

#$%&@#

WTF is wrong with this world???
Damn pissed with what happened at work...

Got a letter this morning from my boss...
Yes, finally I got my first increment after working for two years...

nothing to brag about, it's just a miserable 2% of my basic pay...
all the hard work for that???
is it worth it??? Can't complain, because I would expect everybody to be getting about the same.
Well, if you tell me, SY or KP or even KW is getting a higher increment! I have no qualms about it...

But the SLUT??? WTF....
Why does she deserve to get a better increment than me??? Or anybody else???
Why? It's so fucking unfair....
Yeah...The world is never fair, or no two fingers is the same length...
But.... Not working long than a year...and having so many screw-ups...
and not working most of the time...
How do you justify the increment?
I would really like somebody to explain to me....Can anyone do that??

And what the fuck do she do anyway? Beside making a lot of stupid noise and comments and flirt vividly with the boss's boss...
Well, what to do??? She's a slut....what can I do?
I can't wear bareback to work...
neither can I wear skirt to work either...
yeah...not to forget i don't have half-ball to show...KNNCCB...
yeah, nothing is fair.....

and the fact that she's suppose to be SY's backup when SY's is on leave next week...
this makes me even more resolute to not help out even if boss does ask me too...
since she is getting much more than me, surely she must be competent enough to handle a small task of backuping SY when she's away...

I so totally demoralized with the fucking workplace...
whatever fucking drive i'm supposed to have for my first job is long gone...
don't see any point to work hard for preserve...
i guess the sentence, "it's not how you work, it's who you knows that matters"
how true....
would love to have change my job...if not for my stupid course holding me back...
DAMN...CCB......

the truth about men

Wanted to post something that i read a couple of weeks ago on the Today paper...
So here it is... In case you are wondering, it's written by a woman :)

THE (SAD) TRUTH ABOUT MEN

WE come across men who say things like: "A man can still have extramarital
affairs even though he is happily married" or "It is not natural for men
to be monogamous".

A woman can never understand. Why would a man want to seek another woman
if he is "happily married"?

My male friends replied: "It is the testosterone" and "Men are highly
sexed".

These answers are not very enlightening, so I meditated on it and here's
what I think:

a) Men must be the centre of attention. Not long ago, I saw in the
newspapers a picture of a woman with her smiling husband at her side, her
newly-published cookbook in one hand. She said: "Show your husband your
love by giving him home-cooked food."

I asked my husband: "Do you want me to stay in the kitchen the whole day
preparing your food?" He shot back: "And smell of onion, garlic and fried
fish?"

A woman thinks that if her husband comes back from work and finds her
tired and sweaty, having prepared dinner, fed the children and tidied the
house, he will say: "Ah, my poor wife! She works so hard and is so
selfless, how I love her!"

More likely, he will think: "I work all day to bring home the bacon and
what do I get? A smelly and dishevelled wife who ignores me! She is only
interested in the kids and the house" - as if "the kids" and "the house"
are not his too!

When a woman grows up, she matures from a child needing attention into a
mother ready to suppress her own discomfort to attend to another. A man,
on the other hand, does not mature - he still needs as much attention, if
not more.

b) Men must be made to feel important. A woman sometimes does not
understand how egoistical a man can be.

A few years ago, my twin sister's sister-in-law and her husband came from
Taiwan to stay with my husband and I in Penang. As I drove them around,
the sister-in-law kept telling me to let her husband drive "because he is
very good with cars".

But, I thought to myself: I was doing fine, and I know my car and Penang's
streets better, right?

I realised too late - when he became curt to me and abrasive to the female
sale assistants - that he'd felt humiliated being driven around by a
woman. A man's ego is as fragile as porcelain.

While a woman looks upon her home as a place of stability and rootedness,
a man looks upon it as another arena where he can be important, the boss.
Thus, a man expects his wife to be submissive and "the wind beneath his
wings". It will not do if she overshadows him - he will become resentful
and need an outlet for his hurt ego.

c) Men cannot tell the difference between "love" and "sex". Once, a
60-something-year-old Englishman walked into my shop to buy Viagra. He
told me: "I come to South-east Asia every year to look for love because my
wife does not love me anymore. We have not had sex for a long time. She
has a prolapsed uterus and the doctor said she could just have a ring put
in to correct the situation, but she refuses to do anything about it!"

A prolapsed uterus is a condition in which the uterus sags into the
vagina. It is often due to a difficult childbirth or multiple childbirths.
But he looked so sorry for himself. My heart went out to his wife - she
had his love only as long as she could satisfy him sexually.

So, fathers and mothers, if you want your daughters to get married and
stay happily married, stop teaching them how to cook and sew - send them
instead to the geishas and the social escorts to learn how to please a
man.

d) Men want to feel that they are capable providers. A smiling and happy
wife assuages his ego, while a complaining wife hurts it. Thus, never
complain about anyone (especially his friends and mother) or anything to
him. And the surest way to drive him away is to start complaining about
him!

e) Men view their wives as trophies. A lot of women make the mistake of
thinking that since their role is to help their husbands shine, they can
be slothful about their own mental and physical development.

But to a man, a wife - like his cars, houses and titles - is a symbol of
his success and abilities. Thus, it will not do if a woman becomes less
desirable as she grows older, while her husband with his growing wealth
becomes more desirable.

We cannot depend on a man's conscience or reminders of what you have done
for him in the past to keep him faithful. A man, with both his ego and his
lust, cannot be expected to do the right thing.

It is left to the woman, as the stronger sex, to suppress her needs and
make the necessary sacrifices to keep her husband contented with her.

Had a good laugh over it....
hope you readers enjoy it too....

Slacking Sat...the usual bball game at ACS Barker road....
We won our last game of the season...a big margin win i must say...
but wasn't enough to override the second placing team to qualify for the final
Disappointed??? Yes, i am... But glad that i'm gonna get my whole saturday back...for other activites...with my loved ones...My family and Cynthia...

How fragile is a relationship??? Why do people stray??? For the thrill of it? Fun of it???
Or??? Is it so hard to be a one-woman/man guy or gal???
Or it's the just wired in the the nature of the human species that you must spread your seeds/ or find the most dormant male to mate with???
Just feel that life is getting so messed up these days....
Is it really that hard to remain faithful to one...just one???
Something to ponder.....

Away from home entry

Not at home for these past few days.
No, i'm not running away from home, neither am i "liu liang-ing" outside...
hahaha

Just having a taste of what life will be like in the near future....

From what i see, life in future ain't as easy as i had expected it to be...
LOL

maybe i'm just now....
i don't know....
the usually undecisive me....so unlike my star sign, but then again...
i could never figure out exactly which sign i belong too....Wahahahah

All i can say is life would function better if some ground rules are laid out...
But do you want to live your life like a function???? hai...
I don't...

All i can say is....
If i have my OWN place...
i won't want to make my own life so difficult...

Afterall, it is MY own place...i set my own rules instead of abiding to other people's...

Am i selfish?? by saying all this??
Well, i think i'm not...
Afterall, a home is a place, where you can be stressless and relax at...
not some place where every little thing irritates ya...

feeling...i don't know...

been a long time since i last posted anything...
these days time are spent working, playing basketball and spending time with Cynthia.
Kinda peaceful i would say....

Planning for our next trip...hopefully we can go to an "ang mo" country...
Enjoy the sights and weather there...and of cos, how can any travel end without any shopping??? hahaha...
Well, hence gonna scrimp and save for it....
Life is hard...But for the sake of it...i will try to endure :)

Work??? Currently being trained to take over a new job scope...
sometimes i wonder why am i doing so much??? Will doing all this get me anywhere?
Will anybody actually realised that what i'm doing???
Sometimes it's just do and do and do...but will you get back as much as you have given out???
I wonder.....

As to why am i being trained for it? Cos the person who's doing the job is going for her
maternity leave...going to give birth soon...It's a baby girl...
Happy for her...haha...
Like i said...anywhere there's pregnant lady, i won't be too far behind...WAhahahahaha

Feeling rather stressed...
worried that i can't feel her shoes....
not able to meet the expections of the new "sup"...
this kind of feeling is really sucky...

it's like when you have already trained so hard before a game...and halfway thru, ya thrown into the game...how will you react? Are you able to cope??
For that i don't know...
But i'll try...

Sometimes...i just need some support...
I'm only just human too....
hai....
tired and vexed...

mixed-feeling...

last paper this afternoon...
by right, i should be really happy that this semster is finally over
but, it's the agonising part of waiting for the results to be annouce...
Arghhh....yeah, i have been doing well for the two modules...

Well, no point crying over spilled milk...what's gonna happen, will happen i guess...

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

Now? i'm feeling miserable...
why?
dunno...just feel lousy...
lousy enough to hate myself...
very lousy....

feeling tired, stressed, aching...and miserable...
i know i shouldn't be a selfish jerk...
but i guess i'm still me....
i'm worried about where she is now...
whom she's with now...
how's she is now....
i guess she must be enjoying herself...
:)
hope it clear your mind of all your niggling problems...
i'm sorry...

should be studying now...but instead i'm here blogging again...
argh....hate it when i do this particular subject...
was never good at anything analog....
so i guess modules with the word "analog" in them, is probably gonna make my life hell...
just like this module...Analog Communication System...Who the hell wanna learn all this??
Hai...but i guess i dun have much of a choice either...
get it over and done with....

Some pictures from my recent Cruise trip...

Well...it's obvious which cruise liner i took....once you see this picture :P


With Penang behind us...


It was still between the 15 days of Chinese New Year, thus the setup at Gurney Plaza, Penang


M, I, C, K, E, Y.....m, o, u, s, e.......mickey mouse!!! Notice the canny resemblence
wahahahahahaha....


Ship behind me while we head to Patong Beach


Beautiful Patong beach....And my pretty girlfriend too!!

Electricity is actually just organized lighting....

First day of my semester exam...
think i should fare okay for it...
not really worried about this paper though, more worried about the next one on Thur
....
Well, at least it one down already, i should be relaxed a little...

Was at my aunt's place in the late afternoon to help receive her sent-for-service LG DVD player...
since i got there early, and she has cable TV, so i switch around the channel and saw this really interesting documentary
about the Great Wall of China...
From how it's built, where it cover from, the purpose of it...etc etc
Wow....
imagine it was bulit so long ago which the so-called technologies at that time..namely pure human labour
and it can still be found standing enduring the harsh elements of time and weather...

After watching that show...
it leaves me wondering...about something else...
What are the Wonders of the World???
to my limited knowledge...i was told there was seven of them, not all that i can remember...
but the ones that i do remember are;
i. The Great Wall of China (of course)
ii. Great Pyramid of Giza
iii. Taj Mahal
iv. The Leaning Tower of Pisa
v. Angkor Wat (heard before, but have not a slightest idea how it's like)
vi. The Colosseum
vii. Stonehenge

not really sure about the 6th and 7th entries....
Anybody know??? Can enlighten me??? Just drop me a comment!
A search on Wikipedia didn't reveal much either, but instead it kinda confused me even further with the different wonders catogories, such as wonders of the ancient world, wonders of the modern world and it even includes the nautral wonders of the world...
hahahaha...

confusing eh???
Well i am...
on a night when i should be K-ing books...i'm pondering over all this nonsense...
Well....that's me i guess...

Frustrating V'Day :(

Happy Valentine's Day to all...
Did you get to spend the night with your loved ones?
Well...i had half the night only, cos i'm stuck with going down for lesson....

Was frustrated the whole freaking day...
was intending to surprise Cynthia with a bouquet of flower, by having it deliver to her workplace...
of course i kept my mouth mum...
But the stupid online florist company screwed up!!! DAMN
i have indicated to have the flower delivered from 9am - 12noon, but until lunch time...
i have still yet to get a call from Cynthia....Wondering if she have actually gotten it.

Called the company to find out what's going on...as expected from the operator...
Telling me that today is a special occasion...lots of delivery...ensure me that the delivery will be done!
Hearing that...i guess i kinda relented....or it's just the female voice over on the other end...
Hahaha

Had a talk with Cynthia after lunch...hearing her mentioned being ask whether if she getting flowers on that day.
Trying so hard to keep the secret in me....just hoping that the stupid company can quickly send in the flowers...

So i waited......

and waited......

Until 3plus...still no news....
Called the company again....
this time round, a guy answered my call..
Telling me that the flowers are on the way, but can't promise what time it will reach...
could even take as late as 10pm...

I was like "WTH"
and he has the cheek to say "There's nothing i can do" and hang up on me...

Feeling so helpless...but still hoping that the flower can still be delivered...i still didn't tell Cynthia about it..

At knocking off time...got to head for lesson...
Still no news at all...
No choice...i gonna let Cynthia know...
She sounded so touched...and surprised...
But i felt bad/horrible...because the flowers didn't got to her...

I should have just opt to get the flower at a local florist just before meeting her for the night!

Big lesson learnt!!!!

As for the company i mentioned!!!
here's the webby:

http://flower.localstreets.com/index.jsp

DO NOT EVER ORDER FROM THEM!!! THE LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY PROVIDE IS ENOUGH TO TURN ANYBODY OFF!!!
BOYCOTT THEM!!!!

Hectic Weekend and Valentine's Day

Finally, the 15 days of Chinese New Year comes to an end...
This time round it brought back certain memories...
no longer do i have to be in a delimma to decide whether i must go aboard to "bai nian", no more long stupid train ride....
no more this and that...no longer do i need to go to people's place and see people's black face!!! No more of this crap!!!
good? Using good to describle this feeling is an understatement....
Should be Great!!! Wahahaha....And i even have the time to go on a relaxing cruise trip...
Ah...Life is indeed getting better!!!!

Played to gruesome games over the weekend...luckily we managed to secure the third placing...
unlike last year, when our final game ended up in a fight...
Well...yesterday it also almost ended with a fight...but luckily the situation was controlled...
and we won...

Tomrrow is Valentine's Day.....
Let me wish all the couple in the world out there...a happy valentine's day
may you all have lots and lots of valentine's days to come!!!

Speaking of Valentine's Day...you can't miss out flowers....be it roses or lilies...or whichever kind your loved one likes...
but also on this day...unscruplous merchants jack up the prices of all this flowers just to make a quick profit...
how i was i got lobang for all this, then i can also make some quick buck..hahaha

No longer do i have to hestiate giving flowers to Cynthia...be it just a single rose or a huge boquet of flower...
i will know she will appreicate it...not like before...with a horrible experience i had...i meant how stupid can that person be???
if you don't like the flowers...you don't send the complain sms to the person who gave you the flowers...right? Ha...
Well...i hope that person learnt a lesson...be thankful for what you have...or you will end up with nothing ANYMORE in the end
:)

Felt so good to rant all this out...on a Monday morning....
Think i'm gonna be late for work....
Argh...another week!!!

Happy Monday Blues to all!!! And Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

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...

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

My mum and dad

Genting away from everything....

So see everybody on Sun nite...
Wahahahahahaha

Today is....

for those who didn't know....
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...
