Sick sick sick...

So damn suay...
It's the third time this month i'm down with flu and it got worsen this time round, diagnosed with high fever...
Aching all over, can't sleep the previous night either...
Can't keep my eyes open...
Really hope it not something serious...can't help to think otherwise these days with the Avian Flu going around..
Hai....
So 命苦...

But i want to thank my wonderful girlfriend for taking urgent leave to take care of me and keep my company...the whole day
hope i didn't pass it over to you...
thanks...really appreciate it!
Given a two day MC by the doctor...can take a break from everything and just relax...
do some reading, be it pleasure or study...
This is a book that i just got....hee hee

Hahaha....

Not sure if i did mention on my blog, that Cynthia & i went to Kuala Lumpur over weekend.
So here are some photos from the trip...
if you want to see all of the photos, drop me a msg...i will forward you the link to the Yahoo's photo thingy...

Enjoy...


No, no you didn't see it wrongly... we STAYED at Ritz Carlton...



See how spacious the room is??? At first we only booked a Deluxe room, but the nice folks at Ritz Carlton upgraded up to a Exective Deluxe for us...



This what we had for dinner the first night. Only took photo of the first two dishes, cause both of us are too hungry le...hahaha... The first pic is small abalone and second is "la la" (kind of shellfish) and the third is stingray... all of them are wrapping in aluminium foil and grilled to perfection!!! Highly Recommended by Moi....LOL

after the good food, we walked around Chinatown, through all the stalls where a lot of branded Replica are sold...no, i didn't get any...

The great thing about staying at RC is, it has a cozy lounge at the 19th floor which provide complimentary drink most of the time..

I had a glass of red wine, while Cynthia opt for a beer instead...


At around 7pm, the personal butler will come in and set the bed for us.
and he left a little something for us by the bed.

Saturday morning...


Some candid shots before breakfast...

Breakfast is served at Rossini



The menu, what cynthia had and what i had

Oh yea, not forgetting the nasi lemak i had...Haha

And off we went to go shopping at the Twin Tower...
some shots of the Petronas Twin Towers along the way...
Yeah, we Walked there...



Menara KL (KL Tower)


and Suria KLCC, where all the shopping is...

Guess what we had for lunch??? A&W...yay

Waffle with ice-cream

Root beer float

Our Miss Koh have never taken the Malaysia's LRT...so here's her virgin trip


All these walking make the day passes really fast, soon it's dinner time again...
here's what we had

BBQ Wings

Penang fried kuay teow

Fried abalone mushroom

Oyster Omlette
Yum yum.....



Something i find amusing about the lift in StarHill Centre. They labelled each floor with wording instead of number...

Sunday before checking out, we went for some last min shopping and lunch at Planet Hollywood... which sadly is no longer available in Singapore...


While waiting for our food..



Tada...and lunch is served...


while waiting for the coach to come...


Bye bye Ritz Carlton...

Hope you, readers enjoy the photo as much as i do...

Today is Big Walk Day

Woke up bright(not exactly bright lah, 5am in the morning, where got sunlight to shine bright bright???) and early for the annual TNP Big Walk, didn't join last year due to some mixed up, but this year i'm back with my younger brother, Miss Cynthia and Moi....

We met up at Kallang MRT station to walk to the currently renovating National Stadium, decided against taking the free transport at Doby Ghuat and City Hall. Which Miss SinYan and Auntie Irene did...ended up arriving at 8 plus...So they just hang around the area, collected their goodie bag and left...

While the three of us were sloggin along Nicoll Highway...trying to make sense of why are we even torturing ourselves...by walking 10km...hahahaha

Nevertheless, it was fun.... which the big crowd...and hold the hand of my beloved while strolling along the highway...

Well...enjoy the pictures.
my pro bro changing into his walking shoes...

See the crowd everywhere???


Well, Nicoll Highway was closed for the morning...

At the Start Point....


The Bosch Robot was here...

Geoffery from Toy 'R' Us was here..

And his gang of robots...

Walking and some sight along the way....


This gang of Dragon dancer club members....
performed all the way throughout the Walk...kudos to them!!!


And finally...The finish line...Yay..



Enjoy and Goood night...

Drinking @ Father Flanagan
Cosy atmosphere

Shaky hands


Went to Sentosa for the sunday to catch the Defend Your Turf Event.
No, no i didn't participate in it... i can't kick that stupid ball...
Just wanted to go there and check out the Brazillian footballers that were specially flew
for this event to play against the local winners of the event...

Turns out the U20 team actually won against the Boy from Brazil in the penalty shootout!!!
Imagine that!!! The malaysian team was actually thrashed 12-0...
Seems like there is a future for football in Singapore...
Hahahahahaha...congrats to the winning teams...

Well, beside that we (Cynthia, my brother, his friends and me) enjoy the Sun, the Sand and the Sea...
Luckily we didn't end up with sunburns.....
Here are the pictures....Enjoy

On the bus...after breakfast at the hawker oppsite HarbourFront.

slipping into depression...

Can't get a grip on myself at all.
Slipping back to the depressing mood i had a couple of weeks ago...

What am i 煩 about this time?

It's been 1 month since i took over Pianhong's job scope...
Yes, it's a boring job...
It's in a corner...
There's nobody to talk to me...

But i like that... at least nobody to disturb me, no prying eyes to watch what i'm doing.
and most importantly, my work is being acknowledged and appreciated.

What must everything be judged my qualification??? Just because i do not have my dip, it means that i'm unable to perform the job scope of a Assistant engineer??? WTF
Lame....
Can't expect much when you haf crap/rubbish managing the department...
Arghhh....

What am i gonna do??? I really don't wanna to go back to what i was doing...
neither do i wanna do the 12 inch job...
it's a 吃力不討好的工作. Hmmm....工作 seems like a too kind word to be used.
think i should repharse it.... Shit.... seems more suitable...

How???

Why must everything be based on the qualification that you have???
but not on your ability???

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...
