new post after 5 months

2010-10-27T22:59:00.000+08:00

its been 5months since I blogged.
as usual been busy with work. well, i got exposed with other social media (Twitter actually) & mingled with it most of the time. & recently i'm like back to facebook again, using a new account, just to get updates from my bros. so don't get offended if you are not added, just that I don't want to get unnecessary invitation of stuffs from people.

recently been quite stress with work, especially to backing up my colleagues (its not 1 but 2) on holiday leave. getting fed up easily has been a history & it seems that its coming back again.
i have managed to cope with my temper very well, after I've been doing the scope that i prefer but sometimes, looking at how some people do things just starting to tickle my mood.

here's the story. me & my other colleague (A) supposed to cover my colleague (1 of whom is on holiday) & A should be the main person in charge of his work & i'm just a back-up of him, as its not of my nature of job scope. things started when A should be doing the job but after I asked him, he said i'm not aware of it. sometimes I'm just being nice of doing things that is not of my area, but try not to step on my head. simple things that he should be doing (e.g changing of backup tape) is not done. after it has been done, he don't even bother about it. although i know that he is having part-time studying, but that is what he should be handling himself. asking people for assistance to his assignment is okay, but not to the extend of getting people to do for you. then why not just give your degree to them instead. i can even see this guy free to talk to people regarding non work stuff. i just don't how he can survive in this company who to what i see has been playing with his phone most of the time.

i feel that some of the younger generation seems to be spoilt & does not have a proper working attitude. i'm just waiting for time to see how they get their proper "punishments". maybe i should just have a change in job environment to stop all this nonsense sight. enough words on that, it just keep making me blood boil.

anyway, i'm looking forward to the concert of David Foster & Friends this Friday. And yep, i'm alone for this concert again. If i'm not wrong, this is the third time i'm going for concert alone. Previous times were 梁静茹演唱会 & this year's Emi Fujita concert. I'm still thinking if i should go for the Gorilla B-Boys showcase, happening in the coming week.

updates again...

dreams

2010-05-24T22:49:00.000+08:00

past few weeks have been having all kinds of weird dreams. Some of them are romantic while some are quite violent I find & it was quite real to me.

Violent Dream:
Didn't really remember about the location. All I recalled was that I was with 2 of my friends. Then somehow we were like caught attention by some gangsters. As I was walking in front of my friends, I was the first that made contact. And then for no reason I was pushed down to ground & 1 of the gangsters just pull out a gun & point on my neck. Next moment that gangster started pulling the trigger & it was not just 1 shot but a few of them. Of course then I woke up. Though never break cold sweat, but I can feel that there was a adrenaline rush in me. It was in the silent hours, so just continue to sleep. Tried to continue from that dream that I had but in vain.

Romantic Dream:
This dream I had was that I was married & was enjoying couple life. This dream was quite short though & I'm curious who was my other half. But that day, I woke up feeling quite happy. Maybe because of the type of dream I had.

During my childhood, maybe because of watching too much of vampire movies, I recall that I even tried to hold my breath during my dream, to escape from being caught by vampires. And often woke up catching my breath. Dreams are quite real at times that when it happens, you will find it quite familiar. That's what people called it, dejavu. Its not often to have dreams but once you do, that means you are bothered by something, maybe by things that happened during the day & from thoughts deep inside your heart.

off to have some dreams now... later...

happy birthday to me

2010-05-20T21:17:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday to Mr Chong Kong Hwei! So weird to say that in his own blog.
Well as you guess, I celebrating at home! Yeah & that's right! At home!

All because I'm down with flu, can't really go & hang out. Have received some presents though.
Perfume from CK which was given my colleagues. Lovely!

1 T-shirt & 2 wording frame (don't know how you call it) from my ex. Interesting design of T-shirt & some encouraging phrases.

& finally a necklace that I bought for myself. 1st time i got a gift for myself & its from a japan online store.
ah cheng keep saying its like those 佛珠, which i tink its nice. actually got another one, but that shop mentioned that they don't do shipping to singapore, so too bad. unless next time i make a trip down to japan. think it will be madness to go to japan, i guess i will be broke after that.

now of age 27, like a uncle now, has always been. well looking forward to the weekend getaway next week. at least its a break from this urban island. & oso planning to get a new hairdo & colouring
see how it goes... later

nice buddy gathering

2010-05-02T05:37:00.000+08:00

yesterday had a movie outing with my brothers. we watched Iron Man 2 in the afternoon, followed by Ip Man 2 in the night. Review will be published over my review blogsite here.

Dinner was settled at a japanese restaurant over at Plaza Singapura. Not that fantastic I would say, but it's the people who is over the table for dinner.

After Ip Man 2, we head down to a nice place over at Arab St. Its called Nabins. Its a Arabic stuff for the food & drinks, and its cosy sitting inside. So people with cars can make your way there. No cars, you can always catch a cab in.

After the food & drinks, we head down to Loyang Da Bo Gong aka 洛阳大伯公 for some praying. By the time we are done, its 4.30am. Lucky that my brothers have cars, so its easy for the sending. But very appreciated for sending us back to basically almost all parts of Singapore.

OK, gotta crash soon, or else I will not be attentive for my mahjong later. Oppss, mum is up & its 5.30am on the clock. Aight, later.....

time flies...

2010-04-04T22:16:00.000+08:00

did not update much during the past few weeks as I don't have the "crave" to blog.
haha, kinda lazy in actual fact. well, went to Jam Hsiao aka 萧敬腾 concert few weeks ago. I would say its a superb showcase of the singing skills of him. Damn talented he was. Hopefully he comes back for another round of concert again.

its fast that time flies. 2 weeks of army reservist has ended & its back to urban life on Monday. To add on to it, its Q2 of 2010 now. indeed its fast. like what my army mate mentioned, its like a lost of objective in life, since for reservist you will be instructed to do things & don't need to use too much of the brain. some would say reservist is to suffer. For me, I feel its a time of gathering with my friends that we stayed together during the army active times & also a getaway from the urban city. enough said about my army stuff as it may bored some people.

nowadays been finding things to do over the weekends. its like nothing much to do in sg. either watch movies, play billiard, go ktv or drinkings, there's like not much activities to do. just like today, was hanging around in orchard area after my class. i'm so bored that I took a train to Dhoby Ghaut & then later to Somerset, where I went to my usual hangout place, HMV @ 313@Somerset. bought some oldies CDs that are on sale & walk around for some window shopping before making my way back home.

just had a game of mahjong @ my colleague's house, which I did not win at all, fortunately. well, glad that I broke even as my luck seems to be running out. I could still remember that during my younger days, my luck was tremendously good, as though Lady Luck was with me everytime.

well, past few days have been feeling giddy, which actually started from playing Left 4 Dead 2 after out-processed from my reservist. I'm not able to play 1st person shooting games for long period of time due to motion sickness. Only managed to last 1/2 hour before I started to feel the giddiness & breaking cold sweat. ever since then, the giddiness has been with me till now, though its those faint feeling of it.

maybe its just some syndrome of "I want to stay away from work". tomorrow its a start of a new month & work again for me. gotta head to bed soon. hopefully the giddiness goes away tomorrow, or else it will be a mood spoiler for me...

莫名的坏心情

2010-03-01T23:48:00.000+08:00

今天心情真不好，讲话时也没精神。也不知为什么。可能是所谓的monday blues吧。一早进公司，开启电邮软件，便发现竟然有超过400封信件。大部分是有关于顾客们的连接系统的七彩有些问题。有时候我一直想，到底有这通报系统而没去看，一直等到有人打电话时才去做。有时真地看不下去，无名火也不知不觉地冒上来。也就这样，一整天的心情就没好过了。

一直到了下午，老板突然说得去顾客那。真不喜欢突如其来的meeting。也可能我是蛮会埋怨的人吧。真想换份工作。可能等到七月吧，等到花红入袋了，在作打算。

在大约多两个礼拜我就得回兵营受训。真是难来的假期。
好啦，得去睡了，免得明天心情又不好了。

touched

2010-01-18T23:46:00.000+08:00

was watching the latest episode of 海派甜心. I was quite touched by the scene whereby 宝珠 said those harsh words to 薛海. can really feel a pain in the heart. maybe I once had that feeling, can understand how it hurts. tears rolled down but luckily no one saw.

for me, feelings are not exposed easily or I would say I'm quite hold back in this. though crying alone is hurtful but well that's me. now adding mtv to my youtube quicklist, mostly are 抒情歌, especially those from 梁静茹. simply love her songs, especially her last album. really touched deep in the heart & help me pass the saddest times.

well, tired now. off to bed. update again.

weekend shopping

2010-01-18T23:39:00.000+08:00

weekend was busy shopping for CNY clothings. After my class on Saturday, had lunch at Amoy Street with my favourite sliced fish noodle. Met up with ZC & head down to Iluma@Bugis. Both of us were looking for a pair of suitable shoes. ZC tried a few pairs but do not had the size that he liked. Head down to Parco Bugis Junction next. Its not easy to find a pair of suitable shoes, that I agreed. After having a long search, thought of having steamboat buffet before the crowd starts. So we went to have our dinner at a steamboat restaurant.

After the sumptuous meal, we head down to the Bugis arcade & watched people playing games. After that, we took a slow walk to Peninsula Shopping Centre. Came across this shop near Coleman St that sells shoes. There were 2 brands that caught my attention: Lacoste & Puma. But think I had too full for dinner, so don't feel like trying out the shoes. We later then head down to Raffles Shopping City, trying to find the shoes from Levi's that caught ZC's eye. Too bad that they don't have the design that he fond of. In the end we call it a day & head home.

Sunday help my cousin with her laptop. Apparently, it seems that her 5 yrs laptop had retired to function. Help her removed the hard disk & fixed it to my external hard disk enclosure & gave it to her. After that head down to Central to meet up with ZC. We continued with the shopping of the ONE shoe, which he finally got the feel for the shoe. 1st to make the purchase of the shoes at this shop, Matsu. Later then meet up with JR at Peninsula Shopping Centre. While waiting for him to arrive, we walked around the building to search for clothes & my ONE shoe. Quite alot of shops that sell shoes & they were quite similar design. I wondered how they can make a living with so many competitors around. Soon JR arrived & he is quick at his decision. Head to the shop that had the shoe he liked. After trying a few pairs, he made the purchase. So that left me who has not purchased.

Later we walked back to the same shop that I saw the Lacoste & Puma shoes. But strangely, I had no feeling for it, wondering if being full will make a change to the appetite. Later then, we walked down to Plaza Singapura as Raffles City Shopping Centre is too costly with the brands. Before reaching PS, we walked to The Cathay. Not much shops for fashion wear. Came across this stall that sells accessories. I was intending to look for a new bracelet for myself as the previous 1 I've got is starting to get loose. Afraid that I will lose it, I decided to keep it at home as it has sentimental feelings for me. Well, there were too many people in the shop which make me no feeling to buy. Moreover, there is only 1 helper inside.

After that we headed down to PS. Both me & JR were trying to persuade ZC to make a change in his design & colour sense, which was not a easy task. He still not open to too colourful or special design & keeps on thinking of buying clothes that he could wear in office. Haiz... really cannot take it. In the end he bought a long sleeve shirt. Think the only person that really shopped was ZC, as he bought a pair of shoes, socks & a new shirt. It was left with me who has not made any purchase. After dinner, we decided to move on to walk towards Orchard area. Came across this shop that looks similar to the one near Coleman St. Design was quite similar but the price was very different. For a pair of Puma shoes that cost around $120+, it was priced at $90+. What a good offer. I tried to find a pair that managed to attract me. But sadly, there isn't a size for me. In the end have to settle to one that had the Ferrari logo. But hey, I got my shoe also! So it was not empty-handed home for me too.

Well I think I've got to stop splurging cos this month's CC bill gonna kill. Lucky for me there is a 13th month bonus, or else sure gotta eat bread. Ok thats for the weekend updates

double trip

2010-01-15T01:02:00.000+08:00

today went to visit my customer located near office area. happily stroll down to their office & look for that person I'm supposed to find. only then was I told that the person was located at another office located at Tampines. Sad case man! the weather is hot enough to dry my water content body.

no choice but to confirm the location of the staff back with office before I make my trip down. I must be getting old. nowadays, memory starts to fail slowly, can't even remember a simple thing.

well have to study my Japanese now. cos I don't have much practice, so I have to study to get it in my mind.
study until I forget the time now (1am).

got to head to bed now. later again...

updates over the weekend... monday blues?

2010-01-11T22:38:00.000+08:00

Saturday actually thought of going to Vivocity then to Sentosa, after my class ended. I've even brought my camera along. Thought of getting sun tan abit. In the end, called ZC to go billiard. Walked under the hot sun & waited for him to finish lunch, while I popped by China Square to look at some figurines. Along the way, came across this place that ZC mentioned, about Muay Thai. Quite interesting when I peeped in. Have to plan if I really wanted to pick up this. Billiard at our usual place. The man ZC initially still said to go for billiard marathon for 20 frames. For me its no problem, but in the end, 1st to say tired is him. In the end we ended at 15 frames, almost there, with our empty stomach & fatigue playing the game. It was a enjoyable game for me, as I was super on formed, just like the good old days. Had dinner at Clementi after that & went home straight. I guessed the game was too eye-powered energy consuming, had shower & about 15-20 mins later head to bed.
Sunday thought of going gym but was suddenly down with flu in the afternoon. Stayed home in the end. As usual, watching online shows from Taiwan & play game. Nothing fantastic on this day. Can say its a pig day for me.

This Monday is quite okay to me, not blue, even though I'm wearing blue today... LOL
well new colleague came today, which will take back my load of the standby work that I did for the past few months. But I know that it won't be that soon. it will take some time. have to endure for the time being.
Went for gym today, since I never go yesterday. Had a 1.5 hour exercise. Its quite some time since I'd such a long exercise. Near to the end of the exercise, was overworked again. Had to stone for sometime, before I'm fine again. Now I'm feeling shagged now. Watching 桃花小妹大结局. Should be dozing off straight after finished it. Tomorrow then watching 海派甜心.

Later...

3 days of leave

2010-01-05T23:06:00.001+08:00

time flies... my 3 days of leave is coming to a end.
tomorrow is the last day of my leave before I get back to work. how I wish that I do not need to work.
need to get over the holiday mood fast.

1st day did nothing much actually. was clearing up my closet & drawer with all the old letters & clothes that I did not wear for long time. clothings were packed in a plastic bag, waiting for karang guni to come. was watching online dramas (福气又安康、桃花小妹、海派甜心) & variety shows, as usual, to kill time. also studied before my class starts this saturday. or else I don't think I can catch up.

2nd day was again watching online drama (福气又安康), with only 2 episodes to finish, so excited with the ending. quite a twist to the story. after lunch when out to gym. quite surprised to see people exercising at that hour, as though all of them no need to work/study. after that went down to 313@Somerset. 1st stop was to find clothes for CNY. Drop-by Uni-qlo & bought some t-shirts. Quite polite of the staff & also unique for the way to enter the fitting room. Next stop was to G2000. Bought a couple of shirts which can be worn for work. Its best to be able to wear for work/casual. Or else it will be like what I'd in the past & eventually thrown/given away. Thought of buying jeans initially but changed my mind as I want to spend another day to shop. I guess my shopping-bug has started again, have to control my spendings. Stop my shopping & head to HMV. But after the shifting of HMV from Heeren to 313@Somerset, my favourite section, Jazz, has shrunk in size. Not just the display of the new albums, even the CDs for listening have reduced. So sad... Went outside of that section instead & looking for CDs to listen. Came across this artiste, Zee Avi. Front cover of the album doesn't stand out but her songs seem quite popular, based by the rankings of some radio charts. Indeed, it never disappoint me. Genre of the CD was labeled Rock CD, but after hearing it, I don't really here any signs of rock spirit in it. In the end, I bought it. Lol, can't resist good records. Next I came across with Jason Mraz's concert CD. This chap is a talented guy I would say. People, you should check this guy out.
After making my payment for these 2 CDs, went over to Orchard Central. Quite quiet for a shopping mall along Orchard Road, when you compared it with ION or 313@Somerset, even for a weekday. I would say that this shopping mall is more of a food paradise. Based by my judgement on the directory guide, there isn't much of fashion shops & more of restaurants instead. Head back home before the 5.30pm peak hour rush.
1 thing I've learnt from today: Try to stay home more often, cause you'll spend more outside than at home.

Now need to think of what to do for tomorrow. Initially was required to attend a wedding dinner with my mum for my relative's wedding. But now seems like my dad will be going. Guess I've to find my own activity.

Later...

New Year Eve

2010-01-01T01:12:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year to everyone!
This new year's eve celebration was quite a boring one. Although company declared work ends at 1pm, I still have to visit agent after that, just because they have requested for things to be loaded. Quite shitty stuff.

So after that went to have a feast at Sakae Sushi with my colleagues. Stuff myself until I'm quite full, keep burping. After that went down to Cineleisure for 十月围城 aka Bodyguards & Assassins with friends. I would say its quite a nice & touching show that featured alot of artistes. Heart was beating quite fast, especially on the part that is of the 1 hr assassination. Quite sad for the revolution change that involves alot of lives sacrifice.

After that we proceed for dinner at Bugis. Quite a disappointing dinner & I would say it spoilts the mood. Why?
Its a steamboat & barbeque buffet, which for the steamboat, we waited for close to 45mins jus for the soup to be served. And told the staff to serve the soup 3 times. No mood to eat much. Quite a turn-off.

After that ask my bro for a drink which ended up in one of the usual location, Jazz @ Southbridge. They are relocating soon to Esplanade, ending their business at Boat Quat this Sunday. So 1 place gone for drinks, next time have to find some new chill-out locations.

As usual, nothing much to talk about with my bro, so its jus drinking & crapping. after that head back hm b4 the crowd gets alot. dozed off in train & dats my new year, "celebrated" in the dreams. lucky this time round never miss the stop home. along the way, singing one of my favourite artistes (萧敬腾) songs (新不了情 & 如果没有你).

emo me. need to find things to do later. feeling boring staying at hm.
off to shower room & mayb head to bed, head is heavy after the couple of drinks. maybe the fast drinking gives me the kick.

later...

Blog = Diary?

2009-12-29T00:48:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I wonder how did blog started? Did it 1st started with people entering their activities like a diary or just a form of way to express themselves?

For me, I used to blog my daily events or to doing reviews of movies/food/music. In a way it helps for people that know you to understand how's the life around you. Some may just be interested with the review that you have written which once in a while welcomes a comment, though I received spam comments most of the time.

Well, I am going to revive my review blog site soon, at the same time have opened up a new blog (old URL though) to contain my deepest feelings that I don't share. I guess I'm not the person that fluent with words verbally. Typing may be the kind for me. Things I do not speak of, even to my closest buddies/friends.

Maybe someday, I may just release it. Someday......
Sounds emo? Maybe? Perhaps...

wat a boring day

2009-12-26T10:23:00.000+08:00

Merry X'mas to everyone! Guess no one really reads this since everyone's bz with watever they are doing.
Well I've to work during X'mas eve. Wen for billiard after work & take train all the way to the east for my cousin's 21st birthday.

Now I've to plan for wat to do/get in year 2010, with the year coming to a end soon.
=>DSLR
=>A Holiday trip
=>Change of work environment
=>Further studies of Jap
=>Train up my physical health

yesterday was a boring day, tot of going out but in the end stayed at home. lots of ideas in the mind, but never came true. later still have a wedding to attend but now down with flu, think i wun be going.

tink its another boring day again. life has never been interesting ever since. stucking with the virtual world only helps abit for the entertainment. think its time to explore more things to do.

ciaoz for now...

moody feeling again

2009-12-15T22:08:00.002+08:00

Batam, a 2nd trip of the year, though i still prefer to go to Taiwan. Perhaps can plan it next year.
Though this trip is a short 1, but at least its a relaxing trip. Alrite, think I will not talk too much about the trip. Will just link the photo gallery here

Lately been very busy with work, especially with 1 of the colleagues left, its left with me & my other colleague to handle. Now that my other colleague is on overseas leave, I just pray hard that nothing happen just these few days. Sometimes I just think that changing of a environment may just help.

Recently just done reading a novel, 恋空. Its 1 of the love story that I find it touching, ever since I've watched the movie last year. Managed to bought the book early this year & only started to read it months ago. Partly maybe the memories of the movie still resides in the mind, just reading parts of the book & I can visualise the scene that was featured in the movie.

Well maybe I'm just a guy that likes reading these types of books, cos guys that I knew of don't read such types of books. But recently read the ending + listening to 萧敬腾 singing 新不了情 & 如果没有你 makes me feel sad, just like the feeling I had few months ago. just when I have overcome that feeling, here it comes back again. どして。

well thats all for now.

Week of the F1 - Part 2

2009-10-15T22:28:00.000+08:00

alrite, i know that i'm late with my entries again.
will try to fill you guys all up to the latest news of me.

27th September was the day for the Singapore F1 GP Race Day. wen with good buddy ZS. it was a hot sunny day & my new sunglasses comes in place. met ard 3+ at Hong Lim Market before walking over to Raffles Place area.

I would say the security system was superb, cos basically you need to show them the inside of your bag & go through scan. But this also is an hassle if you move in & out of the race area with the checks to be done again.

First up was the Aston Martin Asia Cup Race. As the name describes, its all Aston Martin-made cars. Managed to capture some of the car images that passed by. There isn't much spectators as majority were waiting for the actual race later that evening. After this race, we went to Haagen Das @ Esplanade to cool down the body. Probably alot of people also felt the heat, already there were people inside the shop & mostly from the crowd viewing the race as Esplanade was closed from public access.

Next up: Formula BMW Pacific Race. Initially both me & ZS tot that it was BMW cars racing. But in actual fact, its not & instead it was like a F1 type of car, but maybe its BMW engine. Although the engine was loud but it was still manageable. With the next race, Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Race, coming up, we decided to go take a look at the booths that were set up at Padang area.

I believe all the hot favourite constructor brands of F1 earned quite alot, especially from the merchandise. It was quite expensive for the merchandise & unless you are a fan of it, you can just skipped the booths. Some of the famous night spots, like Dbl-O was also there. Quite happening for the outfit of the waitresses. But as the drinks were costly, we skipped it also. There was 1 booth we came across which was very long queue. It was a booth which draws temporary tattoos. Design of it was quite interesting but think it was a very long queue, we dun bother to go for it.

Soon after we proceed back to where we were watching the other races earlier on. To our surprise, there was alot of people crowding the platform, all waiting for the drivers parade. Tried to take some photos but all were blurred. Think if next year I'm going again, I should get myself equipped with a DSLR. Being a Singaporean & know the mentality of people hogging of the places, we did the same too & skipped our dinner. I went to buy 2 bottles of drink to quench the thirst & ZS went to bought muffins to kill the hunger.

Soon after the warm-up race started. The roaring engines of the F1 cars were loud that I've to plug in my in-ear earphones. F1 is indeed fast & experiencing it live is more enjoyable & thrilling. Though there were a few accidents & not able to witness it was a pity. But at least managed to see McLaren's driver Hamilton to clinch the Singapore GP 2009 title.

After that went home straight as working the follow day. Next up: Batam trip!

Week of the F1 - Part 1

2009-10-06T01:38:00.003+08:00

Late update as before. Just came back from my Batam trip, will update on that later.

Wen to the F1Rocks concert at Fort Canning Park on 24 Sep 09. It features the Chinese artistes: Da Mouth aka 大嘴巴, Sodagreen aka 苏打绿, A-Mei aka 张惠妹 & Jacky Cheung aka 张学友.
Went with my sis since I can't get anyone to go with me. Fort Canning Park was where the concert was held.
1st up was 大嘴巴. was quite good in hyping the crowd. they sang some of their songs like 国王皇后、永远在身边、结果咧. They also sang different renditions of some of the English songs like Tokyo Drift etc.
Performance by 大嘴巴 ended & waited for about 15mins for the stage change.

Next up: 苏打绿. Appeared under the red lighting came the voice of 青峰, vocalist of 苏打绿. Sang lots of their songs like 小情歌、无与伦比的美丽和新歌：狂热。就当大家都狂热起来地时候，突然音乐就停止了。我还以为是在做效果，原来不是，是音响系统出了一些问题。导致演唱会中途喊停，真让人真让人扫新扫兴。也大概等了10分钟左右，演唱会才继续下去，又重头把狂热给唱下去。这首歌真的会使心情感到激昂、沸腾。

过后就由阿妹献声。一开场，麦克风就出问题，阿妹所唱的一切完全是没声的，直到第二首才恢复。唱了几首阿妹的歌后，阿密特就献声了。还带来一首Keane的歌，还不赖哦。也可能因为状况连连，当阿妹唱完之后，就直接下台，也没说声再见。

之后，我和我妹足足等了40分钟，才等到张学友的出现，真让人火大。也看得出歌神也是火冒三丈，以从后台走出来了，以一头长白发配搭他所穿的服装，又一股颓废样。可能是想以ROCK为服装主题。他一连就唱了5首歌曲，才和观众问好。我和我妹都觉得他的一举一动有点怪，仿佛是打了兴奋剂。之后，他再唱多5首歌曲，阿妹便出来了，与张学友合唱。

之后，全部的表演者便一起大合唱，唱Michael Jackson的歌：Heal The World.
Its getting "late" & I should be getting some sleep. Next up, F1 Race Day.

MIA to BIA

2009-09-25T01:22:00.000+08:00

Yes I'm back. For after about 6mths of MIA, now I'm back in action (BIA).
Lots of things have happened over the past 6 months, gains & losses, happy & sad, etc.
I would say over the past 6 months were the most happiest time I've ever had so far, really cherish that memory. These 6 months of experience also makes me grow alot, that I can talk really decent stuff to my brothers over drinks. Seldom I do that & if I do, do listen to what I said as its my golden words aka advise to you.

Ok. back to the point, reason being BIA is because I have more time to spare now.
Reason why I have more free time:
1)My game account that I've been playing for over 2 years got hacked.
2)Readjustment of my status (Guys who've been through it will understand)
3)Quitted Facebook (Don't ask me why)

Well & because of more free time, I started picking up the language that I've been yearning to learn: Japanese. Now I ponder back over the past, I'm kind of regretted of not taking Japanese class that was offered during my poly times & other CCA.

Anyway its still not too late now, as long I have the heart to learn.
Okay, will stop for now cos its late as I just came back from F1 Rocks.
Will post a separate blog on this event.

To be continued...

Long time since I update the blog.
Will change the design 1st before I do any updates.

For My Dear

2009-01-14T06:52:00.002+08:00

Dear, this post is for you.

I also would like you to know how I feel ever since you said yes.
I'm so sorry that you was pissed off over me. I really didn't know about it.

Actually I wanted to do something on Saturday itself. But simply just can't find a chance to do so.
Even AK can come & tell me said that we are like 2 strangers walking. I was like well, I'm still trying my best cos I dun know how you feel. But luckily, I did it on Monday.

It was when we are waiting to cross the road & the wind was quite strong & you said "I think I'm going to fly away". So I passed you my arm to hold on to it & you cling on to me. Soon the traffic light turn green, so my hand slide down to grab your hand & we crossed the road. At that instance, my heart was liked pumping slightly faster than usual, but I think we were still talking about work, so you may not notice it.

Anyway, its good to have someone to care & love for. As I said before, I maybe slow & dum dum, so sometimes if I really didn't get what you mean, just "wack" me, ok?

Love you!

bombardment of the day

2009-01-08T06:57:00.006+08:00

aft the change of my status on facebook ytd, i got bombarded by messages & sms congratulating & asking abt who she was.
Thank you all my friends & colleagues who have showed their concern of me!
Early morning at home logged on to facebook & alrdy got comments by my frens.Wen to ofc & email JY if she encountered bombardment on her side. same as me, comments were oso on her facebook. too many things happened ytd, with work issue & bombardment of concerns.
But at least 1 thing i know is that i am still noticed by my fren, even though it was quite some time that i haven't seen them.
Everything happened too fast for me to digest oso. I admit i mayb hasty in getting this relationship. But I ask myself, if i dun ask her, i may regret it & oso passed the happiness that will bring me for the rest of the days of my life. Though i'm not a person that is very good in talking, the only way i express more is words that i type. i dun know... now i understand why in shows, pple jus can't easily open the mouth & express the feelings to their love ones.
i told her i was feeling like 小路乱撞. i feel that my heart was pumping fast ytd. 有一种打从心里的开心与快乐，真的不知道怎么形容。

JY... i wun see you as a scary person, instead more like a person I can share & open my heart to you, which i did. i will hope that i can give you the happiness that you & I looked fwd

was reading sms frm a fren that seldom sms me. my colleague who walked past me say a sentence: "why you so happy looking at the phone?" i was like dunno how to react, though alot of the staff that are closed to JY knows abt it, or i shld say pple who hav my facebk & blog address will know.

i can say it was a very happy day for me & when work comes, i can treat them with a smiley face. looks weird rite, but that how it feels. but i find that the day passes very fast, cos soon it was time to knock off. JY wen for her class while i collect my Wii.

Met up with AK as he is oso interested in getting 1 for his dad as bday present.
to my surprise, the cost for the Wii was slightly less than what was quoted to me via email. i was like thinking "is it becos happy things is happening ard me that i deserved this discount"

aft dat proceed to Spagheddies @ paragon for dinner. while eating, we waited for ZS to arrive, as he is preparing his stuff to be hand-overed b4 he chk-in. luckily, talk over the dining table was not abt me, instead more of game consoles. i was like phew...

shall not talk more on that as it may bored some pple who are not gamers...

wen home to try out Wii with some games. maybe becos the disc of my games has some scratches, so it has difficulty reading. maybe will buy blank discs later after work.

dozed off as usual while toking 1/2 way wit JY.
update again...

(^-^) life will never be the same with you in my life (^-^)

a date & an answer...

2009-01-07T00:41:00.003+08:00

jus got back from a date...
suppose to go for gym on tues, but JY asked me out as she is free, so ask my bro ZS if i can fly plane or change date, cos he gng to chk-in soon.

sorry bro, can't go gym 2day wit u. will try to find u 4 dinner later, if u are able to make it.

wen out wit JY to vivocity. initially i tot of gng to the thai restaurant dat i wen previously with JC & ZC, but both of our stomach seems to be giving us problem 2day, so we wen to Japanese Gourmet Town for Shabu Shabu.

ordered a set with pork ribeye, pork loin, 2 servings of chicken, vegies & etc
there were 2 soup based, 1 shoyu aka soy sauce, 1 plain soup aka boiling water

the soup intially didn't taste dat fantastic, but after all the meat is cooked, the soup tasted with more flavour. the meal ended with 3 scoops of ice-cream. tot of letting her to finish it but her stomach was oso not dat gd, so i help to eat abit. quite like the taste of the green tea flavour, though its sweet aft a while.

aft dinner, we wen to 新天地 to look at the soft toys there & then we crossed over to the pet shop opposite. took some photos of the hamsters there, especially the white colour breed, looks cute!!!

walk passed the dog grooming room & saw 2 dogs: 1 in a cage which i feel dat it is quite "dao", the other which looks like a lion to me, was "strolling" in the room & it was quite fit, based by the leg muscles.

after the pet shop, we walk out of the air-conditioned mall & wen outside to enjoy the windy sea-breeze. chit-chatted there, toking abt her family, the school days & life in 1B & oso both of us...

she told me why she asked me out is becos she wants to give me an answer, which i later told her i wun force her to give me an answer immediately, afterall its the 2nd time i asked on last Saturday/Sunday. But to my surprise, she says ok. Maybe i dun noe how to react, as this was my 1st time asking some1, so i was abit dum dum.

walk her to wait for her bus. after she boarded, then i felt the kick of the happiness. i was so happy dat the 1st person i informed was JC, who was 1 of my supporters.

now its 1.25am & i'm still quite awake, partly i tink its because of the answer.
will update again...

*Thank you for the answer you gave me. Though I may be slow at certain times, but I will try to cherish & maintain this relationship with you...

update for the 1st wkends of 2009

2009-01-05T00:17:00.003+08:00

while waiting for my hair to dry, i am updating on the recent happenings over the wkend.

Saturday morning was playing GE wit ZS & ZC. We were doing spotlight lvl1. Trying to clear them as I have around 40 of them, now leaving 28 left. It was chicken feet for both me & ZS, since we have veteran chars, ZC will be struggling if he do it alone. But with the help of us, he managed to up his character by 4 lvls, quite impressive.

After lunch was out for billiard with ZC. arrived early as he was stuck in a traffic jam, so started with a few games. trying to master my ball placement skills, which i somehow manage to understand it, after i read abt a book last Tuesday at Kinokuniya. soon he arrive & we started playing. i tink i am back to the top of the curve again, as i did quite gd whereby i managed to get 31 points in 1 break. i wonder how long can i maintain as i know myself dat my skills is like a curve. Once I reached to the top of the curve, i will drop to the bottom eventually. jus hope dat i can find a way to maintain at the top always.

left the WCRC ard 5+ as i got another appt in woodlands. met up wit YT, XY, HJ & CK for dinner at jack's place. the service at the jack's place was not that gd. the waiters & waitresses seem like acting bz wen i try to make order.

after the dinner we wen to catch the movie: bedtime stories. it was a very hilarious movie especially the looks of the guinea pig, really cute. will post the review some other time.
after the movie, XY wen off 1st, with the rest of us go to Toast Box. The seat was like not so good as it was shaky & may be broken anytime. So i was like have to sit still & try not apply too much body weight. chill there for a couple of hrs, chit-chatting of organising the gathering & oso some 八卦 of me. YT started it as she ask me during the BBQ on New Year Day near YL hse. She was like why like dat. I dun feel like explaining too much, so ask her to read the blog instead.

CK was the nxt target, as he wen out wit a girl to Swissotel at lvl 70. We were like showing our "concern" but actually more of curiosity. He oso ask if we wanted to watch Break-Out, the B-Boy dance & show at esplanade. We were like find it ok & decide tentatively to watch it on Eve of V-day.

Wen hm aft dat & was chatting with JY over msn. Saw her blog entry & i was like quite curious in wat her mum say abt me. later the updated version explains more of it... but i was like dun know where the courage came frm & ask her again...
Though tis time round she did reject me, she oso nvr give me an answer. but at least the way she reply me, i was like feeling quite delighted, as i still stand a chance... hehe.
maybe partly due to the cups of Kopi-O i had earlier in Toast Box, i was very awake. then she was like told me it cud be due to the thoughts dat i'm having. but wateva the reason is, i was feeling happy... in the end i wen to slp at ard 4am...

Sunday was like woke up quite early at 8am, somehow dun feel tired, maybe becos of the conversation wit JY. woke up early to watch finish 射雕英雄传. i was like left with 2 episodes so jus complete it. will write the review later. once i finished watching it, i starting to proceed with the 3rd part of spring cleaning. cleared the CDs section of my cupboard. realised that i have bought so many CDs. i should tink abt wat 2 do wit dem, cos some of them i dun listen to it.

JY was on9 later & was starting her spring cleaning as well. chit-chatted with her abit den she planned 2 make a trip down to Ikea as her chair is broken & needs to change the seat. so accompany her later in the afternoon. after my cleaning, tink partly not enuf rest, as onli 4hrs slp, so i dozed off & woke up to realised it was 3.30pm. i was like "damn, i haven't have my lunch & shower yet". lucky my mum was out to shop for new curtains, so nvr bug mi to shower & lunch. soon after JY msg mi the time of meeting, so i quickly dash to shower rm & had my lunch, den left the hse. luckily i was still early, tinking i mayb late as i was paying bills for sis

Ikea is indeed environmental friendly, no plastic bag are given. so we make our way back to JY hse, left the stuff & proceed to the nxt destination. Initially she wanted to go bugis to look for HP, but change her mind to parkway parade, which i dun mind, cos i dun go there often. we took a walk there & luckily it was not too sunny so it was not too tough for mi. if not, i tink i may be "drenched" by then. soon we reached the place & looking for HP at the Hello Shop. dun know if its too popular or wat, the 2 models dat she planned to look for were both out of stock. so she put her HP change on hold & told me maybe it was a hint to her to not spend $$$. i was like "ok, mayb 老天爷 wan u to spend it on smtg else"

we walked ard abit & settle our dinner at sakae sushi. didn't eat too much as it was getting late. aft dat walk past a feng shui shop which sells those displays & accessories like key chains & handphone straps. JY bought me & herself the same design but colour based by our Zodiac. it was like so coincidence dat the 2 colours dat she took were jus nice, both mine & her Zodiac. after making the payment, we walk back together, and it was like more "happening" now at tis hrs & oso smell. can smell the otah from the otah shop dat she said was nice. aft taking the lift up & see her back to her hse, i make my way back.

quite a enjoyable day, though lots of walking, but it was the company that counts.
ok better slp now or else i become a zombie later again...

2008 going 2009

2009-01-01T03:32:00.002+08:00

time flies... its 2009...
1st of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all the pple who reads my blog.

time to blog for the past few days/year stuff...

29Dec08
was on leave tis day... so thinking of wat to do 2day... morning was clearing letters & was doing spring cleaning part 1. after lunch was formatting PC, cos the MSN seems to hav contaminated virus. took me a few hours cos there was alot of programs installed. after the formatting & reinstalling, i make my way to Singapore Expo. initial plan was to visit Metro sale followed by car exhibition at Changi Exhibition Centre (Carreista Jamboree).

But by the time i reached Expo, it was like 5pm, so the idea of going the car exhibition was aborted. Wen to Metro sale. although there was alot of stuff, but apparently, the clothings there are not very special, of my liking. thought of buying CNY clothes but come to think of it, CNY only 2 days & only 1 day i'll be out, so in the end bought a few t-shirts/polo-T.

aft dat was mting JC for dinner. wen dinner at Simei, as she nid to buy some book at the Christian Bookshop there. dinner was settled at Sakae. aft dat i head to Tampines Mall while JC proceed home. wen to Isetan, planning to spend the vouchers that I have. but seems like nothing attracts me, so wen to Mini Bits & help mum to buy necklace chain... aft dat proceed home

pass her the necklace but she said it was too short, cannot fit. I was like (-_-)'''
den no choice lor... may need to give it away.

30Dec08
morning woke up to continue with the 2nd part of spring cleaning... aft dat was planning to mend my shoes, pass stuff to fren & go shopping... walk all parts of Woodlands but simply can't find the uncle who mends the shoes... indeed sad case.

nxt stop proceed to office to pass some comics, cocktail bk & a bottle of ice wine to JY. oso ask ZC 2 help mi mend my shoe.

aft dat i proceed to orchard, 1st stop was to Heeren, HMV
bought a few CDs which i find not bad.
after payment is done, 2nd stop was to Kinokuniya at Ngee Ann City.
bought a couple of novels frm the japan, Koizora aka (恋空)
3rd stop was heading to Isetan. was trying to find bday pressie for mum... but no luck
last stop was to Tangs... finally i found it & waited for ZS to go gym together.

aft gym, wen dinner & head for home

31Dec08
Mum's bday 2day... early morning woke up to go wit her to NTUC... mass broadcast to frens & colleagues with the New Year greetings...

it was quite packed in there, even caucasians are there for chinese food...
after lunch, i head down to funan to recce for my rockband accessories... it was quite ex though...
hmm tink i hav to save up in order to buy...

after funan, i walk down to middle road to mt up wit ZC & AK for billiard... quite fun when its 3 players playing... was a tough match...

after dat, head down to suntec city for dinner, pearl river palace... seems like AK used to been there, even the manager knows him... haha its was interesting... food was buffet style... quite worth it, both quality & quantity.

aft dinner, we walked to marina square's arcade... it was quite packed with pple. played 1 round of daytona & make our way to the fireworks area. it was alot of pple there le...

manage to take a video of the fireworks... not bad looking...
aft dat was trying to make our way to ice cold beer for a drink
along the way, saw pple carrying bottles of foam spray & disturb the bangla pple

quite daring they are but the bangla seems to be enjoying themselves oso
the crowd is indeed crowded, quite a human jam...

soon walk towards ice cold beer, but realised dat it is closed, so no choice, we jus go to mc to get a drink. after finished with the drinking, we proceed to catch the last train...

reach hm ard 3am... chk my email for the answer...
though i wld hope it will come true, but inside my heart has thought of the worst case scenario.
& indeed i'm rite...

reply to the email oso, aft dat head for shower rm & slp aft dat...

now dat we are in the yr 2009, there are things that i wanted to achieve & get... will update them later

update again

stayhome saturday or go out?

2008-12-27T13:02:00.002+08:00

a easy question yet answer is quite difficult? sounds weird? think again...
even a simple question like going out for lunch is challenge...

if i stay home, i could simply complete watching the dramas that i have.
if i go out, i nid to think of where to go, hmm...

anyway, i've ordered nintendo Wii... there goes a portion of my savings.
anyway its a belated birthday present for my sis, since she wans it.
but it will take sometime before the shop has stock.

see how it goes bah... 2nite still got to fetch dad frm airport. he's back from HKG trip...

enjoyable Xmas 2008

2008-12-26T00:12:00.003+08:00

woke up 2day feeling cold... grrr...
maybe becos of the cold weather with the fan blowing at me...
haha... i deserved it...

lunch was fried noodle with my favourite chili, sambal blachan...
after taking the chili, sweat keeps flowing like a running tap...

after dat, was out with JY. she said she wanted to take photos of Xmas deco, so accompany her out & at the same time asked her out to watch 叶问 (Ip Man).
1st stop was at Bugis. bought the tiks 1st then wen to "cut" the bracelet she got for me for Xmas
it matches my ring, which i got it few mths back...
after dat was walking ard to pass time since we got a few hrs to spare b4 the movie

initially thinking of only window shopping until we wen pass a watch shop.
bought a watch for myself & she got 1 too... it looks gd on her, especially with her outfit today
wen to kino aft dat. she bought a few cookbooks, to "inspire" on the CNY Eve dishes.

aft dat bought snacks & drinks & wen to the cinema... its been a long time since i wen to Shaw Bugis for movie. although we chose seats at the last row, it was really very far. luckily there isn't any guys dat are tall & sitting in front of us. the movie is really nice, 甄子丹 is really good, makes me feel like learning 永春拳.

after the movie, we start the photo taking of the Xmas deco. aft taking some of the photos in bugis, we took a train to Orchard. fortunately, we did not take the bus, cos there was road closure along orchard road. took a train & alighted at orchard station. & then the photo taking starts... usually i'm the camera man whereby i take photos of pple. 2day i became the "model" instead. JY insisted on taking of photos of me, some with her together oso...

after looking at the photos, i find dat i simple can't pose. camera man still suits me i guess...
lotsa decos was along orchard road... yes i mean the road itself... there were pple dancing on the road, 花车 oso on the road... JY took a photo of me under the ERP, i was like thinking... good job, you dun often get the chance to take a photo under the ERP sign itself...

walk along the road, taking photos, ask pple to take photos for us, help pple to take photos...
i was like sweating alrdy b4 walking along orchard road, somemore the weather was not windy

it was like 8.30pm & we were still along orchard road, in front of paragon with the stomach still empty... usually she will be the one complaining of hungry, surprising she did not make a sound, maybe she was bz taking photos... we walk all the way to plaza singapura, which is the final stop.
after taking the photos here, it was like 9.30pm on the watch... i was tinking dat not much places are opened at this hour... tot of trying hot tomato, but they said they are closed. so no choice walk on & luckily pasta mania is still opened, so settle there for dinner.

dinner was prawn aglio for me, recommended by JY & jap style pasta (can't rem the name) for JY. chit-chat awhile & left the place... waited together for JY's bus to arrive & chit-chat for awhile... after the bus arrives, i oso make my way back... luckily its not dat crowded...

now uploading photos & chatting wit JY & time-check 1.05am... the feeling now is as though i dun nid to work later... shit better finish it & head to bed... hmm i'm on my bed though...
haha... 2day really enjoyed the day... dun know why jus feel very happy now...
hopefully wun becos of this happiness & can't slp...

幸福的周末、吃喝的假期

2008-12-09T21:27:00.006+08:00

星期天去了两个婚礼：一个是我的堂姐、另外一个是我的前同事。请点击这里观看我堂姐的爱情故事。看了我堂姐的爱情故事后，觉得好幸福喔！当天就有个感觉，有种想恋爱的冲动，觉得很羡慕。但是，现在没有对象，还是别想太多，回到现实世界吧。

去完我堂姐的婚礼后，便叫ZC出来，先打撞球，再去婚礼。当天也很不幸得了感冒，整个人觉得好累。当晚也忘了我感冒，我还喝了酒，喝得满脸通红。但是，这对我来说是很普通的。还好，我同事载我回家，真的谢谢他。回到了家，冲好凉后，用了一下电脑便睡了。

星期一与JY出去。本来是为了要购买公司圣诞节的礼物，但是后来因为一些人没办法抽时间出来，所以变成是我们俩购物与吃的时间。午间约她到 liang court 的一家日本餐馆。当我看了他们的菜单，简直不知道该选哪一样，因为每样都看起来蛮不错的。最后我点了一个猪肉的便当，JY点了一个涮涮锅。汤头喝起来蛮不错的，可能因为是味增的味道。

吃完后便在那看到一个花艺的展览，便与JY拍了一些花的照片。过后，我们便从liang court走去suntec city。还好天气是蛮凉的，所以不会那么容易流汗，虽然我还是流汗的。我和她都需要买双工作穿的鞋，所以到处找。终于在marina square买到了鞋。

虽然距离下午吃的时间只不过相差两、三个钟头，JY以感到饿了。我非常佩服这位女生，她是我所认识的女生中，一位很能吃的。更厉害的是她还是个瘦子，真的很难想象。我每次觉得她肚子里的食物到底跑去哪了。晚餐我们便在hotpot culture解决了。边吃的时候，也便聊这天。吃到来也差不多九点钟了。我们便走向地铁站，趁搭地铁回家。假期就这样过了，但是也还不错。因为如果没出来，我因该就在家当个宅男了。

哈哈！时候不早了，该睡了。。。

update for the mth

2008-12-04T22:46:00.003+08:00

its been close to 1 mth since i blog. bz with my work as usual, but at least not stressed up as b4. am doing wat i prefer, so its enjoying.

anyway, i felt more relaxed after coming back from my holiday trip.

for the past mth, visited AFA aka Anime Festival Asia & SITEX. have oso cut down on drinking sessions outside as its expensive, so drinking is usually done at home.

time really flies & Xmas is ard the corner. now dat global economy crisis has affected globally, purchasing stuff has to be done cautiously. things that I dun nid it urgently will be purchased later.

red bombs are flying ard & i rcvd 1 which is tis sunday. I'm actually wondering if sunday (07Dec) is a gd day for wedding cos it jus seems dat alot of pple are getting married on this day.
My cousin, ex-colleague & my brother's friend all are getting married on the same day.
I will be occupied on sun jus to attend wedding... oso read abt dat my pri sch fren is oso getting married nxt yr... think the time for marriage is there.

2day chit-chatted wit ZC ovr lunch abt wat is the desire in life. for him is simple, jus a room for himself. which i sympathize him, cos for over 20+ yrs, he doesn't has a room, not even sharing. & has been slping in the living rm all this while.

for me, i mayb greedy but at least i hav a target to work for. i hope dat i cud mayb start a billiard saloon, though aft calculation wit ZC, the amt required is quite steep. but anyway its a dream which is usually tarnished by reality.

after lunch was taking over things frm my colleague, who is gng for reservist for a couple of wks. another colleague is gng back to india for ard 3 wks. hopefully nothing happens as i simply hate to support things dat is not of my job scope.

evening had a blended green tea with whipped cream courtesy from starbucks. though the queue was not short but still worth the queuing for a free drink.

我的想法

2008-11-09T22:38:00.002+08:00

今天将以华文写部落格。这一年也即将完毕，也发生了很多事情。
有悲伤，有快乐，有失去，有得到。感触良多。

我已经经全力设法不去想一些我不想去回忆的东西。所以，有时候会以酒来忘我。
但是，放心，我不会酗酒，只是小酌一杯。

这几天，想了很多。我认为情这东西，我暂时放一边。先把基础打好，为将来打算。
可能我的思想还没成熟吧，又或者是我想太多。

最近看完一部偶像剧，让我领悟了一件事∶
命运是掌握在自己的手中，东西是靠自己去争取。
注定是你的，无论跑到多远，都躲不过上天的安排。

也许我可能自己的感触良多，听了一些歌曲，眼泪会不知觉地流下。
直到现在，让我哭泣的歌就是张智霖的祝君好。
每当我听到这首歌曲，都会勾起我的某些回忆。让我感到悲伤与感动。

我以将这首歌的MTV放在这。请好好欣赏。

Macau Trip - Part 3

2008-11-03T00:20:00.002+08:00

today is the last day in Macau. woke up in the morning & had breakfast. after breakfast, we wen back to hotel to pack our stuff & prepare to check-out. once we checked-out, we left our luggage with the hotel & made our way to the last destination, Venetian.

the interior of Venetian is very unique, with the ceilings like a blue sky & a small canal inside. there are boats inside & the boatmen are singing inside. though i dun understand, but i find it nice. very interesting to see such kind of shopping centre. took some video of them singing. JC found the shop that she wanted to visit. ZS was with her oso, while i wen ard to check out the shops there. majority of them are the branded goods shops. found some shops that sell food. so i wen to bought them, since i did not spend much off my $$$.

aft lunching there, we head back to hotel to collect our luggage & left for airport 2 check-in. @ the airport, we bought some food to munch, the famous Portuguese egg tarts. indeed different & delicious. after dat was boarding to the plane. on the flight back, i took photos of the skies again, but this time round with the sun up & gng to set & even night. on the flight there's turbulence which is like roller-coaster ride. but still we reach back sg safe & sound. bid farewell to JC aft buying liquor @ DFS. sent ZS back as bro was driving me back accompanied with mum.

overall, i find the trip is short but i enjoyed the weather & the buildings. hope for my next trip soon, which shld be nxt yr. ok signed off.

Macau Trip - Part 2

2008-11-02T22:17:00.002+08:00

woke up in the morning for breakfast in the hotel. it was buffet style so took the food dat i like. i think its the culture of the people living there. they took lotsa oranges for breakfast. aft breakfast, we make our way to Ruins of St Paul's, the place that I wanted to go. the weather dat day was humid & sometimes windy. we took a bus there, but b4 gng to Ruins of St Paul's, we visited a building that features art paintings of the famous buildings like St Paul etc, & also the painting of how the building has evolved over the past centuries.

after dat we make our way to Ruins of St Paul's. as it is a famous tourist spot, lotsa tourist including us were there. along the way, we come across lotsa of students & it is REALLY lotsa, as though 1 big gang cmg. ok maybe i'm exaggerating. soon we reached Ruins of St Paul's but a pity was that my cam's batt wen dead & i left my spare batt in hotel. damn... so had 2 use my hp's cam to take photos. but overall depends on ZS cam. finally i get to take the photo of the location that i wanted to visit. i was really feeling delighted from the depth of my heart.

but it was so hot that i can feel dat i'm getting heat stroke soon. so bought a drink frm a stall nearby. bought almond cookies frm 1 of the authentic shop & we walked on. its really eat & walk & eat & walk... close to tea-break, we wen to find a IT shop building located somewhere near the red market. mi & ZS bought a thumbdrive each. mine is of a unique design while ZS bought her usual fav color drive.

after that we supposed to go to Macau Tower, but stop over @ a stationery shop. JC bought lotsa stuff there for her sis. quite amazed by the stuff she purchased. after that, we took a cab & make our way to Macau Tower. Macau Tower is of 60+ lvls, not as high as Taiwan's 101 Tower. But given the lightings illuminated from the various buildings frm afar compensated the height. JC noticed that someone was pulled up aft a sky jump. was waiting with her 2 see if any1 is jumping down but in vain. aft taking the shots, we left the tower & decided to go back to somewhere near the hotel for dinner. Macau Tower is really 鸟不生蛋. there is not much place to eat & shop. we wen out of the building & notice someone is preparing to jump down from the tower. so waited there & @ the same time enjoying the nice sea breeze. after watching the jump, we make our way back to hotel.

we had steamboat buffet for dinner. not bad for the dinner. JC wen back to hotel 1st as she's not feeling well. while me & ZS wen to fisherman's wharf to hav some drink. we had our drink @ a thai restaurant as dat is the only place for drinking. chit-chated oso & had some snacks. maybe becos of the nice sea breeze, i keep knocked out at times. so we had 2 drinks each & left the place. reach back hotel & had a shower & knock out 2 sleep.

ok so await for part 3.

Macau Trip - Part 1

2008-11-02T16:20:00.004+08:00

ok finally the photos are uploaded, though not all of them. i'll start the part 1 of my Macau trip.

flight to Macau was early in the morning @ 6am. so left for airport & stayed overnight there. when we reached the budget terminal, realised dat lotsa pple were there. but still not the time for check-in. i'm was still awake @ dat time, surprisingly, whereas ZS was KO-ed, napping
while waiting to check-in. ok i'll cut short on the sg portion. on the plane, both JC & ZS fell asleep, while i took some shots of the sky. though i couldn't see the sun rise, but still not bad.

soon alighted @ Macau Airport. took a cab to hotel. initially tot we r on the rite track, in the end to arrive @ the wrong hotel. made another turn to reach the rite hotel. haha all becos of JC, who mentioned of the wrong name. but its ok cos we had a short tour of Macau. check-in @ the hotel, but they are still preparing the room, so left the luggage @ the hotel.

we look for the destination on the map dat we got frm the airport & plan the route. we decided to take a walk to the place. took photos of the buildings along the way. but had to take note of the ground as there are lotsa "mine" planted. weather there was hot but windy, maybe becos of the geographical location of Macau, as it is near the seaside. this time round, my trip is more of a sight-seeing one. so there are lotsa photos of buildings. we had our lunch somewhere nearby & wen back to hotel to hav a short nap.

the next destination was to visit the dog race. but it was still early, so we walked around nearby. again photo taking session of the buildings. pop into 7/11 & found the lighter frm marlboro very unique. the price of it i can afford it. but i dun smoke cos in order to get the lighter, i nid 2 purchase 2 packs of marlboro cigarettes. haiz... wat to do... i jus haf to give up on it.

soon it was time for the dog race, so wen in to chk it out. to our surprise, there was not much spectators. maybe becos there is live telecast of the race on TV. we watched 2 rounds of the race & took a video of it. left the place & went to Sands for dinner. it was the buffer dinner dat ZS wanted to go.

as the buffet is located within the casino, so hav to pass-by the security checks. lotsa pple were inside of the casino. we wen up to the restaurant for the buffet dinner. we were served a very big prawn cooked with butter. tasted really yummy. the dessert that was served was of bird nest, red dates, white fungus etc. its really good cos its good for the body. i taken it as my only dessert cos i dun take dessert often. the food is really fresh, but too bad i dun take dessert cos there is lotsa of dessert there. after the dinner, we walk around in the casino. both JC & ZS played in the casino, while i jus take a look. aft dat took a shuttle to Venetian, our destination for the 3rd day. aft dat we walk back to the hotel & dats the end of 1st day.

check out the 2nd part next.

back from Macau

2008-10-29T23:12:00.001+08:00

im back from macau... though its 3 days but its fun... nid to unpack my stuff. will update the daily activities tmr...

updates for the week

2008-10-26T19:21:00.002+08:00

i'll be of sg in <24 hrs time... update for the past week.

Thursday wen drinking wit ZC aft work, since ZC has the 雅兴. nvr wen too far, jus drinking @ Harry's. seems like we drink thr often that the stuff recognised us. its jus like 旺, whereby i dun nid to be say anything & the chap knows wat i'm drinking. anyway, drinking was on ZC, so i din nid to pay any. both of us had 2 pints of erdinger & some finger food. 1st up was hotwings with buffalo sauce. taste not bad, jus dat its ex. nxt up was wedges. i think wedges worth wat it cost compare to the hotwings as its 1/2 the price. we shall jus order dat in future. for the 1st time i see that ZC drinks at the same rate as me, maybe becos of the food. usually he dun make the effore for the 2nd beer during working days drinking. maybe of the food. anyway dinner was prepared home & was struggling wit it as the finger food & the beer is in the stomach. i think my weight gain is becos of dat. damn... i shld go increase my exercising to twice a wk.

Friday did not had much activities as i'm trying to save up. but i still spend $$$. haiz, guess staying at home is the best choice in saving up. wen over to peninsula plaza aft work to get my extra batt for my cam wit ZC. aft dat we popped by to excelsior hotel to take a look at some billiard cues. tot of changing my cue again as the one i have been using maybe 'retiring' soon. saw 1 cue recommended by the shopkeeper that it is hand-made cue, which costs $180. which has the extender that i wanted. cos the previous cue i bought does not hav dat. damn i must not be tempted by all this stuff. aft dat was walking over towards the cathay to get the vista os cd frm ZS. he's watching the movie, 'blindness', which i'm not that fond of. bidded farewell as i head over to heeren's hmv. tot dat i cud control the temptation for there, but i still got defeated by them. bought 2 cds both instrumental which i find nice. head home & login... for the past mth, i did not came on9 to msn but still wen on9 becos to trsf some songs to JY. tot i cud do it off9 but off9 is not able to do this. shit... i shld find some other alternatives to send songs to pple. got spotted by ZS later dat & help him to d/l sfx file for ge. which i cud use oso. quite interesting wit japanese speaking in ge. sometimes can get annoying. was installing the vista os on the pc which i having troubleshooting for the past few weeks. but still realised its not working... damn wat cud be the issue. dozed off to slp aft dat in a weird position. dat cud be the cause for my backaches... mus slp properly nowadays.

Saturday was still a working day for me, at least the last one b4 my leave. afternoon was back to ofc to do the DR drill for some parts of the data centre. but initially was like having a eating session as mi & ZE was starting to munch our snacks. till the later part of the discussion then my boss sms saying the pizza & drumlets are delivering soon. damn... shld not had too much snacks. minutes after the food was delivered, boss came to see how's the status... we started eating after the DR drill & had some chit-chat. i wondering who told my boss the companions for my trip. i have been trying not to say much but he still found out. anyway won't care dat much as i will not be switching my phone on during my days in macau on the night then will on it. aft the food, mi & ZC left for our billiard session. thr is no tournament though but still there is no tables available, so we waited while watching the 9-ball pool. soon a table is available & we started playing. sometimes i jus dun like playing wit ZC, especially when he jus end the game when its not supposed to. was not toking to him during the rest of the frames & the way I played was showing how my temper was like. balls jumping off the billiard table. 我真的是气到了! even after we left the place, i did not say much & jus left the place. maybe i'm jus getting petty, dats how i feel abt myself. head straight home after that. as i did not have a proper dinner, was feeling hungry. mum ask if i wanted to hav some chicken soup. i scoop some myself with some pieces of chicken & was sitting in the living room with my lappy showing 台湾综艺节目. bro told me that the pc is working now. after so much troubleshooting, its all because of a piece of ram. damn... such a small thing caused a hell lot of hassle. but at least its working now, so i dun nid to bother so much. dozed off, after having my chicken soup, on the sofa in my living room, with mum waking mi up in the early morning of 3.40am. check out abit on my other pc & realised bro was up oso & he started to play his game. indeed he's a game freak when he is playing.

Sunday was fixing up the pc to be placed in the living room for my parent to watch. think becos i upgraded it to XP SP3 which causes some drivers not able to install. luckily after uninstalling, i was able to install the drivers. even now, it is playing 命中注定我爱你. I started my stuff in the morning & realised that the luggage i'm bringing is way too big. but i guess after i buying stuff frm there, it shld be full... will be staying overnight @ the airport later as we dod not want to spend the midnight charges of the cab...

ok dats all for now... will update once i'm back from macau... peace & signed off!!!
(^-^)

today is a blues day, so did not have much mood to work. morning had a flu jab. initially tot it will be covered under the health care that my company took up. but in reality, its useless. i still have to fork out $$$.

left ofc on the dot to mt pengz at rc for some billiard games b4 the KTV session. he got his fren, CY, along. quite skill & guarding game wit the 2 of them. i shld have more of such games...
pengz & mi tot of not gng for the KTV as he find singing for 1hr+ is jus a waste of $$$. but in the end, he is not able to psycho the rest as they are very enthusiastic. in the end, we sang till 11pm with ray leaving ard 10.30 & CY 15mins later. i'm not a good singer, so jus tried my best. now can feel the throat is not good. haha i shld jus continue to watch 超级星光大道.

recap for the past wkend

2008-10-19T22:06:00.003+08:00

blogging now with my newly bought hair band. need it now cos of my long hair & i dun wan it to poke my eyes.

Friday was at chinatown to exchange $$$ for macau trip. dinner was settled at a hawker. we had 五香 as some snacks & some other food as the main course. was discussing the itinerary for the trip. for mi, as long we got visit the ruins of st paul i'll be very happy. anyway, it is subjected to changes on the actual trip. so see how it goes. after dinner we had dessert opp ZC hse. called him but he lazy to come out. wat to do... haiz... lazy pig... will upload the pics another day... i had mango pudding... taste not so fantastic... after dat was walking to raffles place mrt... had a tok wit ZS, of his current project status... i kind of understand wat he's feeling... so jus give him my words of advice.

Saturday was out billiard wit ZC. at WCRC, realised that there was a tournament going on. kind of attracted me. makes me keep distracting over the frames with ZC. so tried to focus on my own frames. focusing is something i need to train myself as i get distracted easily. but it also will make me look hostile, cos i wun be giving any chance to my opponent. it was a long match. a total of 13 frames, 5 wins for ZC & 8 from me. ZC is improving as long he is not frustrated & stay focused. thanks to my training for him. after the 13 frames, i can feel the heart area a little stress. maybe frm the adrenaline rush over the frames. dinner was settled at clementi food court. the 1/2 bbq chicken rice. its been a while since i had it. maybe was hungry, so finished the food quite fast.
after dinner was heading back home. was fixing up the PC again. still can't figure out what is the cause for the games crashing & sometims reboot...

Sunday was out to woei's hse for mahjong. cos WJ is back frm aus, so we had the long awaited game. but from what WJ said during our chit-chat, I can tell that life in aus is not very easy-going. think maybe there are challenges staying there. he will be going back to aus maybe in another mth's time & will be looking for a new job. he mentioned oso if he still can't find, he will be cmg back to sg. it will be good if he comes back cos most of his frens are in sg. but will give him all my support in wat he does. mahjong was filled with excitement for the 1st round as we had numerous of potential high winnings & everyone is trying to guard against each other & i wld say every1 has done pretty well as all managed to guard frm losing, though the ultimate lost was frm pengz. dinner was settled at the hawker, downstairs of woei hse. had various dishes from the 煮炒 stall. quite filling. left the place & sat in WJ's car as he says to drop mi & pengz a lift home. has having a chit-chat wit WJ since it was ard 2 yrs we mt up aft he wen ovr to aus for studies.

well tmr will be gng KTV wit dem at clementi... hopefully nothing will spoilt my mood cos....
its MONDAY aka the BLUES DAY....

will blog again....

Sunday entry

2008-10-12T22:29:00.002+08:00

wake up early in the morning to hook up my PC to the LCD TV. It was so good that I can use my PC with LCD TV. I was watching the 1st 2 episodes of 命中注定我爱你. My parents & sis was watching. Glad that they like it. it was funny i would say. can't wait to finish the whole series.

afternoon was out watching 20th Century Boys with JC & her Korean fren. Refer here for my review of this movie. after the movie, we wen to Daiso as JC nid to get some stuff. dinner was at Mc cos JC wan's to try the wasabi shaker fries. I find the fries has nothing special so pple can give a pass to it. JC was trying to learn Korean from her fren while trying to understand Jap, whereas her fren trying to learn Chinese & English.

did not tok much cos i'm shy to strangers. so jus act dumb unless JC ask mi to say smtg. aft the dinner, we wen to MRT & part our ways at Outram Park station.

this mth hav spend too much... have to cut down on the spendings until pay comes in 2 wks time.

blog again...

long entry as usual

2008-10-12T10:36:00.002+08:00

i had down my blog site for a few days, but still hav no time to re-adjust my blog display. so think will do it when i'm on leave end of this mth.

Friday
was out to celebrate JC bday. Dinner was @ Ma Maison at central. The queue was like damn long, partly becos the seats available are not much. But the wait was not too bad, at least never exceed 1 hour.

photos are uploaded. you guys can find it in the link on my blog site.
we ordered some starter & jus when the starters were served, ZS arrived just at the right time.
The food was marvellous & delicious.

Aft the dinner was deciding where to go. All kinds of crap was coming out. In the end we headed to Clarke Quay's Coffee Club. We sat down there & chill with coffee & tea, instead of the usual "drinks". Think its because of the tea. Was feeling alot of wind in the stomach. Air bomb raiding in the home. I poured a glass of red wine, only had 1/2 of a glass & knocked out. Think was partly tired dat day. Wake up ard 3-4am & finished the rest of the red wine. To my surprise, my bro was playing Warhammer. madness i would say to sacrifice his sleep for gameplay.

Saturday
was out for billiard & dinner @ turf club. QW smsed me to asking me to accompany him for ipod purchase & movie, Eagle Eye. told him will be out whole day. Bro, maybe nxt wk bah.

i was really on form for billiard. of the 1st 5 games, i was dominating. good to keep my standards up. now i realised that being focused will be able to achieve good results.

evening was having dinner @ Turf City. The restaurant was named Hokkaido Japanese Restaurant. It was a buffet style type of serving. So basically, you can keep on just ordering sashimi. I have discovered that the Teppanyaki Beef tasted almost similar to the 1 in M-Hotel. It has the juicy taste in it. Just love it.

During the dinner, was disturbing YT all the way. unusual of me to do that. maybe long time nvr suan pple. aft dinner, we head to woodgrove, cos there is a pub there. so wen thr for some drinks. not bad for it cos it had alot of drinks, even my common drink, johnnie walker oso hav. on top of that, its cheap. its almost 1/2 the price i paid in town. so affordable. somemore its walking distance to my house. Reach home had a shower & knock out.

interesting!!!

2008-10-06T22:28:00.002+08:00

my sis send mi this link. listen to this youtube clip with headphones/earphones on to feel the actually "effect".

trouble-shoot wkend

2008-10-05T09:48:00.004+08:00

tis wkend is a boring wk i would say. stuck at home troubleshooting on the new PC that my bro bought since friday. now its sunday & its still not ok. haiz can't do much things tis wk. i still nid to prepare smtg for the wk after. time is running short. ah... i nid more time. why is there onli 24hrs/day... i nid more than dat.

ytd, drove bro's car to cousin hse, troubleshoot on his router. maybe becos he got a mio, which i find it problematic. but roughly i know wat's the problem. so fix it quite fast. under <30mins. once done, was back home trouble-shoot my bro's pc again.

haiz... nothing was established tis wk... maybe 1 thing perhaps... gng to cut hair later bah. how shld i kip my hairstyle. tot of jus shaving it back to army style, no nid to waste my time to style. which nowadays i have not style my hair much.

ltr maybe gng to grandpa hse cos his bday is 2day. i see how it goes bah cos dun feel like gng out becos of the pc problem.

still i went over to my grandpa hse, hand him a angbao for his bday had the buffet lunch & left with bro. both mi & bro wen for haircut & then make our own way back home. bro's fren came to chk on the status of the com. but after troubleshooting for a few hours still no solution. so they brought the whole CPU to sim lim. for mi, i stay home, did some workout with 2 dumbbells from home while watching 篮球火. after tat head for the shower rm & waited for dinner to arrive.

now Channel U is showing 非常Superband 2. for mi i feel tat tis type of singing competition has not much standard as it all depends on the votes by the public. tis means oso tat if u're rich, u win the competition as long u can make it to the final. anyway, had a glance at the 4 bands participating in the finals. for mi, i will like 异世界 more, as i prefer Visual-K style cos X Japan is still my fav. however, i oso find 兔子 quite cute, especially when they smile the eyes become 1 single line.

the pc is back with a change of a new motherboard. but still it has problem. now reinstalling his game. see how it goes. pray that its ok.

decision made

2008-10-01T10:15:00.003+08:00

tis matter has been dwelling wit my mind for some time, i have made my decision. i'll quit msn as per now. so guys, if u nid to ctc mi, either drop mi email, sms or call. i find msn boring nowadays...
watsoever, decision is made & its final...

ytd out for billiard wit bro. its been awhile since we played billiard together. but our skills have become rusty, it took us ard 4 hrs to complete only 8 rounds. dats slower than the past when we manage to play 10 rounds under 4hrs. after billiard was back home playing GE, eating Nissin Cup Noodle wit a glass of red wine. there is only enough to fill 1 glass, maybe a new bottle later 2nite.

jus aft i made my decision, my PC crashed. wake up early in the morning & discovered it to be hanged at BIOS screen. good grieve! tot i can do other things for this hard disk.

later will be gng to cousin's hse for my niece bday. will be vcom again, since bro is driving.

doggy talk

2008-09-29T22:06:00.003+08:00

back from dinner with YT & gang...
left ofc 2day early to mt YT & gang for dinner, in celebration for YT bday, which is in ard < 2hrs time. dinner was set at Sembawang's Sakae Sushi. Initial plan was to visit Admiral Hill, but afraid of it raining, so change of plans.

No photos for the day, as there is nothing to fancy abt for Sakae's food. chit-chat for a few hours. YT was toking alot abt her dog & we also made fun of her dog. As it was a shepherd breed, HJ mentioned that it shld learn to sound like a sheep instead of barking. CK was also mentioning that shepherd can be found in Aus, so it can learn to sound like a kangaroo or hang up on the tree like the koala. All kinds of lame things were talked about this dog, so you can imagine how lame it can go.

i myself like dogs but i can have it at home for my parents dun really like pets at home. another reason is that i dun stay home often, so no one to take care of it. maybe in future if i've got my own home.

as usual, YT was using my phone to search for songs. i on my lappy instead as all the songs on my fone can b found there. since i pass her back her ext hd, she can copy on the spot. after the dinner, it was back home. was watching Nicole on TV. she's so adorable... makes me want to have a baby like her. but i hav no partner yet. so it wun be so soon. anyway, raising a child is not a easy task, especially not for my current mentality & financial status.

ok enuf said... was playing ard with my new look & feel for my blogsite.

F1 week

2008-09-28T11:03:00.002+08:00

just watch finished F1 Singapore GP. Congratz to Alonso... Its abit wasted that Ferrari didn't make it. For Massa, its a mistake by pitstop team, with the fuel pipe still in when he take off from pitstop. For Raikkonen, he crashed with his right front wheel out of shape for racing. Guess it wasn't Ferrari's game. Luckily for Lewis Hamilton, he made it for the 3rd place.

Enuf said for F1. time of update for the past wk.

Friday...
dinner was done outside with JC & ZS at Curry Favor. While exiting the Cityhall MRT, there is a big crowd. Partly because of the practice session of the F1. Standing at a far side, you can still here the roaring engine of F1 cars. For me, I like the sound but its not a preference for JC. She dun like the screeching sound of the tyres partly because of her childhood experience that leave her a bad memory.

Recorded the sounds, maybe will be my new ringtone. its the 2nd time i'm having meals at Curry Favor. They're specialised in Japanese Curry Cuisine (that explains the name of the restaurant), which are not spicy. We ordered 3 side orders. One of it is Mushroom Fry. Taste good when dipped with the plum sauce. Yummy. The other order was soft-shell crab. Very interesting as it was almost like the shape of the hand. Took a photo of ZS posing with his hand side-by-side with the soft-shell crab. Another side was yakiniku yaki. The beef was chewy & juicy. Not very hard which makes it delicious, makes me think of the beef from the jap restaurant @ M-Hotel. Too bad its closed. I'm wondering if I will get to eat that beef again. For main course, I had minced beef curry, ZS had vegetarian curry & JC had pork katsu curry. Left the place after the meal, as they seems to be closing.

As it was still quite early, we decided to go for a drink. Walk past by Chijmes to check out on this maid bar. The maids can't really make it though. Some pubs were showing the F1 race on TV. JC was saying you get to feel the actual experience as you get to here the actual engine sound. Its good though but our final destination was another place, so kept moving. ZS was mentioning to go to this place supperclub. think we went to the wrong place & tot supperclub is not opened. so wen to this place called Loof instead. They do not hav the usual dat me & ZS usual take. So ordered another type of Whisky. The drink I had, Ballantine, tasted quite close to the usual drink I had. The 2nd drink I had was GummiBear. By this name, it sounded sweet & indeed it is sweet. The top layer was a layer of cream with some burned on top. Dun quite like the layer on top of the drink, so stirred it. tasted better after stirring I find. its like cranberry taste & with milk cream. JC does not hav alcoholic drinks, so she ordered bottled drinks which tasted jus too plain, like plain water. Not cheap for plain water as it was $5. After the drinks was head straight home. Bought supper at Mc for sis, as she's hungry. its crashed to bed for me.

Saturday...
visited Motorshow 2008 with ZC & YY. ZS cudn't make it as he's mting his fren. took lots of photos of cars & of cos beauties. this year there wasn't much of concept cars when compared to 2 yrs ago & this time the exhibition was smaller with the booth all on a single level. still remember that 2 yrs ago was 2 levels. maybe times are bad. But not bad was that we managed to watch the stunt show from Russ Swift & Paul Swift. Indeed, his skills are still there, not failing to disappoint the crowd. Took the video of the whole stunt show, which consumed majority of my cam's batt. Think will get another batt before I go overseas nxt mth.

after the show, we walked 2wards MS for dinner. Along the way, we waited on top of the bridge that links to MS frm Suntec. Saw the F1 cars passed by in seconds. Can't really snapped them in camera, guess they are really too fast. While waiting, I can feel the bridge trembling & I'm not kidding. Its like its going to fall, though the vibration is minimal. but still you can feel it. Think the crowd is jus too much.

dinner was settled at MOF @ My Izakuya. i will say the servicing is too good that the waitress keeps on pouring ocha for us. maybe the diners are not that much yet, as it was still early. alll of us ordered ramen for dinner. taste normal to be honest. not as fantastic as i tot. but think me & YY are same species, we sweat alot. haha... at least i'm not alone. we ordered dessert oso & its been a long time that I ordered something sweet, usual is definitely tastes sour type of dessert. but can't find much, so ordered 1 with fruits in it at least. the ichigo (aka strawberries) tastes sour, the type that will make u alert.

was talking wit YY on the music that they are playing. alot of classics that we heard during poly times. ZC was quiet for the day though. unusual for him to be dat quiet. wondering wats wrong. anyway, left the place after dinner & head home to prepare to watch the qualifying race of F1. quite low-life though to reach home that early.

Maybe thats y i'm drinking while writing this blog. drank a few cups of red wine (can't remember how many was it, 4 or 5 cups i guess) tmr celebrating YT bday. wondering where will the dinner be as she's still haven't decided where to eat. leave it to her to decide as she doesn't want to go town. so see how it goes... blog again...

post for the week

2008-09-21T22:54:00.002+08:00

Friday...

Mum is feeling better now. Glad that she's feeling alot better than before.

wore a pink t-shirt that i bought from X-Craft for work. Its not the 1st time i wearing since 1 of my shirt is of pink color. Though my colleagues say that i look different, cos i seldom wear pink. Maybe i should wear my shirt 1 of this days. anyway, was working on retrofitting a script to make it more flexible. at the start of discussion, i started to feel my blood starting to boil. but come to think of it, its nothing worth the boil. the change is really a need. so did the change, currently halfway done. will continue it 2mr.

left ofc sharp, cos gng to Games Convention Asia wit ZC. You can check out the pictures here. After tat was dinner @ Sakae. Met up wit ZS & JC for dinner. pass JC letters & ZS his DVD writer. Had chit-chat abt Macau trip, wat we gona do & plans. Saw a luggage that says $59 for 25" & 20". Looks nice but too bad they are closed, so came back the following day to get it. Wen home straight after dinner.

Saturday...

Was having flu this morning. Keep sneezing away. I think i should get a flu jab 1 of this days. Bro said he wanted to play Warhammer Online, but there is not much space left. So I help him bought a 1TB hard disk. its cheap now. $198 for a 1TB, hard disk are cheap nowadays... Met up wit JC & ZS at V8 cafe in Bugis Junction. JC passed me her ext hd for mi to copy dramas for her. aft that wen walk walk in Bugis, was trying to find a suitable handphone strap for my fone, but in vain. think i may find it in Macau. aft that, we walk ovr to MS to take a look at the luggage. it was quite striking in color, lime green. i quite like this color. so i took the big 1 & ZS took the smaller 1. took a pic of it.

see how striking it is.

I oso got a collar-sports wear shirt. maybe can wear it 1 of this days. hav been spending alot, partly cud be due to lots of drinking sessions. another will be fren's bdays... there is 1 more in sep & 1 in oct. can't think of wat to buy for them... will try to figure out soon.

blog again...

get well soon mum!

2008-09-16T21:54:00.003+08:00

took a urgent leave ytd as mum is still not feeling well. dad came back to sent mum to see chinese physician, after sending workers to the factory. the chinese sensei said something abt ear wax unbalance on both side, which causes her giddy-ness... mum said that if she nvr tilt her head more to 1 side, she's wun feel dat giddy... so help out in doing the housework, hang clothes & sweep the floor.

& surprising, it was the 1st time dat i see my sis do housework, iron cloths & mopping of floor. maybe she realised the seriousness of mum falling sick.

was doing work at home though... finally completed the work which i have been working on for the past few weeks. though is not 100% complete, but its good enough for demo. was also copying movies frm my entertainment hard disk to my new hard disk, finally reaching N-Z... i wonder how long will it take.

anyway chit-chat wit JC over MSN oso. will nid to do sometink for some1, to cheer him up or maybe jus a talk over a cup of beer... jus like wat i'm doing now. drinking kilkenny while typing this blog.

anyway tried Stella Artois ytd, it tastes jus like Tiger... yucks! it will be in my condemned drinks.
Now having Kilkenny, a Irish draught beer. i remember that there is a ball bearing within the can... jus use my swiss knife to cut the can...

in the end, i got 2 cuts from the can... haha sad case... tis wkend will be bz as friday will be gng Game Convention & probably sat gng Super Import Nights...

Sunday blog entry

2008-09-14T21:47:00.002+08:00

Sunday...

Wen to Causeway Point to treat CK for lunch as his bday is 2day. Lunch was at Ajisen Ramen, new branch at causeway point. Me & YT did not had ramen, as we had it earlier on. Instead we had dessert, left on CK & HJ eating ramen. Was talking abt this morning discovery of worms on my plants outside the home. was saying that my mum just pick out the worms & step them & the green juice spurt out, just like YT green tea covering on her sundae... i said it aft her sundae, so she wun feel so disgusted. As usual, CK & HJ were busy talking abt games & YT took my fone busy bluetoothing mp3 to her's.

Initial plan was to watch My Sassy Girl. But Cathay Causeway Point does not have that, so in the end we watch Babylon A.D. Catch my review of the movie here.

After the movie, we wen to Yakun for some drink. YT wanted to try Cheese dip, so ordered 1 plate. Cheese was quite normal though, not so fantastic & the bread is not so crispy. She left 1st as she meeting her fren, left mi, CK & HJ. HJ was busy talking abt this new online game, Warhammer Online. Keep talking on the various classes available in the game, makes me thinking whether i shld play... will think abt it 1st as it will be like World of Warcraft type of payment.

Left Yakun after dat & wen straight home... was drizzling though... luckily its not a storm. Reach home & see that mum is feeling weak again... so help to do the washing of dishes after my dinner... its been a while since mum falls sick... hope that she will get well soon.

blog again...

a bit long entry...

2008-09-14T12:32:00.005+08:00

abit long entry for the weekend...

Friday...
Did not went for movie, 4Bia. Instead wen for a drink at IndoChine... had dinner at central... after dinner was walking opp of Clarke Quay, where they showcase various big lanterns of the Chinese culture...

after dat, walk along Boat Quay, searching for new drinking place. But nothing attracts us. So we walk back to IndoChine. It was quite a warm night. Soon we walk towards Cavenagh Bridge. There was a close door event. Quite empty though but some babes are there, too bad its close door event. Soon we reached IndoChine. As Kewei is not around, we decided to sit inside the air-con room. No 1 was inside, perhaps maybe its still early. Took some photos of the drinks & food & the candle glass container... Perhaps nothing to do bah... Was trying out my new phone's camera together with ZS. All photos taken frm my phone. Not bad i would say, although tot it doesn't look gd from the phone. Enuf said abt photos... Me & ZS had the usual drink as starter whereas ZC had Koh Samui Island Tea. Though he said the aftertaste wen he 1st had this is very nice, but not for dat day. So he's quite disappointed. my 2nd drink was Green Poison, mixed from Gin & Mint & Lime Juice. ZC commented that it tastes like medicine. But i think likewise, maybe he dun like the taste of mint. ZS had Ciroc vodka... I find the taste more towards Gin rather to vodka... For the 3rd drink i had Peach Fizz... taste like fruit juice... yucks... no taste of alcohol in it. ZS had Vodka red bull while ZC's 2nd drink was White Russian. Think he find this drink good maybe of the coffee taste in it. We also ordered food. vege spring roll with prawns in it i would say. taste not bad, maybe becos of the chili. as it was not filling, we ordered 1 plate of fries. quantity-wise its more worth it than the spring roll & dipping it with mayonnaise taste good. pple, you shld try it. after the drink, it was back home.

think i was hungry, so ordered 1 Ramly burger at the pasar malam beside causeway point. was watching shows in the night & dozed off to sleep.

my starter drink...

Green Poison in the dark...

Peach Fizz

ZS & ZC laid back on the couch...

wake up in the morning & realize my thumb is painful... its those type of pain when you bend your thumb. usually will happen when you got hit by a basketball. pple who plays basketball will understand my pain now. though its painful, i still went for gym... hopefully it dun get worse tmr...

today at least i felt satisfaction in my work... its been a while since i had that feeling. so happy when you are stuck with doing a portion of the work & now its working... its like a parent, seeing your children grow up....

recently i started to watch TV again... because of the baby girl in the drama (奶爸百分百) who attracts me... the baby girl is so cute when she smile... jus wondering will i hav such a cute baby next time... or will i hav 1?

anyway, been reading a book (Tokyo Tower). now its coming to the climax & also near to the ending... the climax, unfortunately, is not happy though. instead its sad.

i actually watch the Jap drama 1st, then the movie followed by now the book.
i highly recommend this book & if u guys want it, do let me know.

tmr mayb watching 4Bia, see how it goes tmr as i'm free w/o appts...

long entry for the week - part 3

2008-09-07T22:57:00.006+08:00

ok start of the 3 part of the blog.

friday was the usual drinking session. but before that wen over to shaw house to get Isetan voucher that comes with the LCD TV that was purchased earlier this last month. worth $200 of vouchers, think will make good use of it when its Christmas time. come to think of it, i still have some Metro vouchers.

met up wit ZS at Isetan. after collection of voucher, we went over to Heeren's HMV. plan to find some CDs there. in the end, i bought 3 CDs from Diana Krall's previous albums, cost $50 in total as they having promotion of 3 for $50.

left HMV after making payment at the counter & proceed to central. mt up wit JC. she got the queue number as 207. when we reach the restaurant, it was tremendously long queue. once we reached, we waited for the table while JC starts to describe the tentative places for travel. i think high chance for the travel location will be Macau. Some photos taken of the dinner.

Dinner at Waraku

This is wat I had, with 1 bowl of Udon & beef in the cooking process & a egg for mi to pour over the beef.

JC dinner, quite small portion though.

Salmon & roe salad. with wasabi in it. taste good!!!

ZS Dinner. If you think it is small, you are wrong. look below!

See how big the bowl is!!! ZS can even dip his head in.

the trip has to be confirmed by ZS date. Will know whether we are going by later, after ZS's visit. aft dinner wen ovr to Jazz@Southbridge. had 3 drinks (Johnny Walker Green Label double shot, Harvey Wallbanger & Tequila Sunrise) which make me concuss in the train. i even tapped on someone beside me, thinking it was ZS. but actually its not him, cos he alighted which i missed it. quite embarrassed though that i continue to sleep. reach back home, had a shower & gone with the bed. tats for the day.

saturday had to meet up wit ZC for billiard session. we had bowling 1st, as ZC suggested. played 2 games but quite amazed with the guys playing beside us, damn pro. almost strike or spare for every frame. check out the scores mi & ZC attained, 88 for both of us. sounds lucky. which indeed is, i strike 4D again dat day. $6 though. well better than nothing.

after playing 4 2 games, we went upstairs for billiard. had ard 5 matches b4 we made a move, as i'm meeting my pri sch frens for dinner at paragon's 鼎泰丰

we had 小笼包 & fried rice & noodles. the 小笼包 is not that fantastic, maybe because the soup within it is not so hot. i would like it more if it much more warmer. think maybe i should find 1 day & go back to the Chinese restaurant at City Hall. they have lunch buffet for dim sum. more worth it i will say.

2 小笼包 are missing. tats fast.

pudding as dessert.

after the dinner, we meet up wit CK fren. it was raining tat night. quite heavy when we make our way towards Centrepoint. aft meeting up wit CK frens, we decided to go back to Balcony @ Heeren. i had the usual (Johnny Walker Black label on the rock). was chilling there for some time until i saw this guy who looks familiar. its Ramesh frm our same pri sch. its like a small world afterall. took a photo together & he went back to his frens. it was back hm on CK frens car aft dat.

sunday was a busy day. wake up in the morning & i was transferring songs to my HP. at the same time was transferring movies out from my entertainment HD to my ext HD, as it is not detected by my PC. So no choice, hav to do it the hard way. aft copying for the whole afternoon, decided to go for gym, since i did not go for this wk.

wen wit ZS for gym. along the way, met JingNa at CWP. She said she jus saw YongHui awhile ago. i bid goodbye & make my way to the gym. i would say it is really a small world afterall (i think i getting naggy, 2nd time i use this phrase. oh my, its 12.27 am on my lappy's time, better end fast & get some rest)

gym 2day was quite empty, maybe pple tends to rest on a sunday. saw a familiar face from the Kallang gym. aft the gym, i pass ZS 3 of Olivia's CD & he pass me back Mari & the 3 pups movie. aft that was back home.

wen to bought some fruit juices that i used to mix drinks awhile ago. use mango juice wit vodka. maybe i did not put in much vodka, so it tastes very "mangoish". hand it over to my sis as i did not know whether she can take high alchohol drinks.

i mixed for myself a guava vodka. this time round wit more vodka. tastes not back. still have some remains of the vodka taste. was watching CHANGE while drinking it & having sushi also.

ok better stop for now. it 12.32 now. better catch some rest or else i catch a flu tmr again.

long entry for the week - part 2

2008-09-07T21:08:00.003+08:00

ok now i'll continue with the next part of the blog.

thursday was having my IPPT test from my RT session. i felt that i may not make it because my SBJ cannot make to the passing mark, when i did the trial station last week.

left ofc as usual, ard 4 to khatib camp. when i reach there, i realised that there is a super long queue. heard frm my colleagues that i should go early on test dates because pple will be queuing very early. & indeed, the queue is damn long. i tot i was early, but there are pple who came even early.

but lucky, i manage to pass with silver. had been aiming for silver actually. i earned $200 for getting silver though. not bad for me. but before the money is credited to my account, i already spend half of it on 1 night. bought blank DVDs, 杨宗纬 concert DVD, 2 T-Shirts & some snacks.

ok continue the next portion soon...

long entry for the week - part 1

2008-09-07T14:36:00.002+08:00

there is a lot to blog for the wk, so i divided in 3 parts. Tuesday was watching Wall-E with ZS. Catch my review of the movie here. Before the movie accompanied ZC to World of Sports at Cineleisure, as he wanted to buy a new swimming trunks & i jus got the membership card recently. I myself was looking for gym gloves, but it seems it out of stock, only left Nike brand, which i dun really like the design.

After dat wen around doing window shopping, and i bought a lighter with 秦始皇 craving. (will upload the picture later) Quite interesting but the lighting up of the flame is still the olden way. Saw some accessories at some stalls but think i will hold the urge of buying a new one, since i got a few recently. Need to save up money.

After dat, ZS came & we settle our dinner at LJS. after dat ZC left, as he watched it alrdy. Quite enjoy the movie. Hey pple, go & watch it if u haven't cos its a nice movie. aft dat left for hm.

continue with part 2 & 3 later... time to go for gym...

fast Monday blues

2008-09-01T22:23:00.004+08:00

jus came back frm plaza sing, wen to get pressie for william wit JC. hope he will like it. i signed up for world of sports member, got a mizuno duffel bag, columbia water bottle & a pair of socks. i like the duffel bag more, maybe i like the brand. tried fitting my laptop in & its able to fill in, but in a slanted way. better than nothing though.

anyway earlier this morning was really blue. jus came out of toilet hav to help out in some phone issue. aft that receive call frm customer with some prob on a prdt. aft dat wen to visit another customer, trouble-shooting again & installation. aft dat, wen to collect my 4D winnings frm the nearest singapore pools, not much though cos i bet using IBET. aft dat was back to ofc.

was clearing someone's mess that can be avoided. anyway, thr goes my morning for the day. by the time i had lunch, it was 2pm. dun mind the late lunch though cos i wun nid to queue too long for food & seats. had the usual fish noodle at amoy.

aft dat, back to doing work... tis time help my colleague to do some setting up of computer. 1 PC & 1 personal laptop. dun mind doing it, maybe i was in gd mood.

aft dat was almost 5pm... oh man! i did not do much work for the day. can't believe time passed so fast. haiz... hope i can do some work tmr.

will blog again!

heavy downpour & RT

2008-08-31T20:03:00.003+08:00

jus back from RT... shagged out after 1x2KM run & 6x400m track running with timing for each round clocking at 1min 50sec, though i make it all below it. think my running shld be able to make it. aft the run, wen to the static stations to trial on chin-up, sbj & shuttle-run. no issue for chin-up & shuttle-run, but it seems dat i can't make it for sbj... maybe becos of the running beforehand. hope i'm able to make it on thursday.

earlier on was driving in bro's car. bro nids to help his fren to drive his car to his new hse and park. perhaps his fren is not available, so he help out. i drive him to yishun 1st to get his fren's car, aft dat is a convoy to jurong. it was a heavy downpour to jurong. but i find i'm used to driving bro's car, cos partly becos the clutch is not so low as b4. so quite ok

aft the driving, bro drop mi off at north point as the timing was abit odd to go hm. wen window shop for awhile, saw some discount for shoes. no bad looking though, but i've overspent this mth partly of the phone dat i got & the usual makan/drinking session. maybe nxt mth perhaps.

pray man! hopefully i can pass for this thursday IPPT, den i can plan for a holiday!
Cheers man... shld be drinking for the nite.

COMEX

2008-08-30T23:44:00.004+08:00

went to COMEX on friday wit JC & ZS. initially to bring her colleague from HKG thr but they wen to chinese garden instead, so its just the usual pple. pop into Rohana at COMEX... heard that she maybe buying macbook & her husband looking for LCD monitor. for mi, i bought bluetooth headset & microSD card for my new phone. bought a gift for ZS for his birthday as his is on monday. ZS was looking for laptop & camera. he's quite tempted to buy, and wit me buy his side will try to psycho him. aft COMEX, we wen ovr to Tony Roma's for dinner to celebrate with him in advance.

quite a sumptuous meal i would say. we had drinks too, to go wit the food. initial plan was to jus hav a simple dinner after COMEX & go over to usual drinking place. but i'm not feeling well, so change of plan. maybe next wk bro, if i pass my IPPT next Thursday.

ZS drink

JC drink

My drink: Mojito aka 不知道(In Cantonese)

We ordered half onion loaf, 1 Roma's feast & half slab Baby Back Ribs. Quite a lot as you can see & with a small eater JC, the majority depends on me & ZS. felt i had a 3mth baby in me aft the meal. gosh... its hard to shed the fats off & now i'm gaining back.

Half onion loaf

Roma Feast

Half Slab Baby Back Ribs

I like the taste of the ribs & the taste of the corn is sweet. just dat its cold. or else its gd. had some jokes during the dinner. 1 of it is the recent case dat happened in HKG. JC mentioned a song was even made for this incident. damn interesting. hehe. but i would say this guy is really sad case. dinner lasted for ard 2hrs & every1 seems to haf a 3 mth baby.

After meal scene. So neat!

i was stoning during the dinner, maybe becos too tired aft sneezing for the whole day. well wen hm aft dinner... blog again

busy wednesday

2008-08-28T06:58:00.002+08:00

was a busy day yesterday. morning call customer on some concerns of product & guided him over the phone on some stuff. feel quite happy after that. maybe because someone appreciates the work i've done.

after that had a dept meeting. blood boil abit over work stuff. luckily it nvr boil too long.

after meeting, had lunch & stuck with email system, as some issue to it. was helping my colleague till 9pm. luckily realized that some minor things are being blocked. he will need to enable the necessary stuff later.

will be having RT later, so can't go for COMEX. will be gng on Fri instead.
weather looks super unfriendly now. better go off. blog again...

big spending Saturday

2008-08-24T11:49:00.009+08:00

yesterday wen out with JC to watch Cyborg She at vivo. Check out my review here. After the movie was shopping, trying to psycho her to buy things but in vain. Instead, I was the 1 who is buying alot of things. Below shows the items that I bought yesterday, closed to $400. haiz... try to psycho someone, in the end i got it myself. there's a saying in Chinese, 害人害己. initially did not buy anything, but after thinking for a while, i've decided to go for it. i should blame myself and no 1.

dinner was at sushi tei. JC make the order as she wanted to eat alot of stuff, so i leave it to her to decide. ZC did not come, so both of us took photos of the food we taken. trying to make ZC envious. the menu is quite nice, quite a big one is should say. the seats we had was gd, facing the sea opposite of sentosa.

the main dish that we had is the lobster sashimi, with the lobster shells to make the miso soup. not so fantastic for the sashimi as it is not so chilled. it will taste good when chilled. but the miso soup did not disappoint us. it was superb i would say. taste very lobsterish (new word I come out with... hehe).

lobster sashi with nama ebi & scallop

Lobster alive

lobster miso soup

another dish i find delicious is yakiniku salad with sesame sauce. it tastes good without any sauce but it tastes best with the sesame sauce. Indeed delicious with the recommendation by the chef.

2 other dishes we had is the tako wasabi & aburi salmon belly

it tastes normal, just normal grilled salmon, whereas tako wasabi is quite special with the wasabi taste in it. during the dinner, we had our usual chit-chatting, gossiping abt work stuff. anyway, she's leaving for another company by end of this week. there goes my neighbour. we'll maybe meet up sometimes for movie or makan session.

aft the dinner, we wen to harbourfront to buy some snacks, whereas i was at this pushcart stall looking for some pendant. some of the pendant i quite like it, but there is some flaw on it & its the only 1 left, so no choice but to look at some other stuff. in the end got a necklace that has the pendant with a wheel of horoscope signs.

aft that, we walk back to vivo. i decided to get the F480 cos dun really feel like gng out today. oso, i bought a Mizuno t-shirt & sneaker ball, partly paid by the voucher from H-Two-O.
aft that we wen McDonald as JC craves for ice-cream. this time, at least the ice-cream is more than liang court's Mc. After the ice-cream, then we depart the place & its home-sweet-home.

today is a cooling weather. good for napping. will blog again.

busy wkend

2008-08-23T10:23:00.002+08:00

yesterday watch Death Race with ZC. Its a awesome movie. Check out my review blog here. Had dinner at MS food court, some jap bento set. Nothing special about it. Tot they will have their wasabi cream. Think they are out of stock. After dat, was walking back to MRT. Along the way, there is fireworks so jus pop by & have a look. I did not bring my cam, so leave it to
ZC to be the photographer. when he on his cam, he realised that the batt is running low & b4 he can take any photos, it jus off by itself without retracting back the lens. so he has no choice but to hold the camera on his hand back home. hopefully he's able to get the lens back in once he charged his cam.

this morning is a cooling day, maybe becos rain subsided awhile ago. had the carbonara pasta that I bought in cold storage. its the instant version. so quite easy to handle. but the taste sucks. its either I put too much water in it or i nvr do much stirring. the cheese tastes bitter when its near to the bottom of the cup. think i'll condemn this nxt time. some things are best taken when cooked & not instant method. will be gng to watch cyborg she later.

blog entry either 2nite or 2mr morning.

shaggy day

yesterday was a drinking session at Harry's @ Shenton Way, the usual threesome.
i ordered 1 pint of erdinger beer. smooth when it is chilled, yucks when it's not chilled.
ordered johnny walker's black label on the rock as the 2nd drink. starting to appreciate hard liquor on the rock, maybe becos age is catching up & trying to go for stronger alcohol.

had dinner oso at there, not bad as cheese is on top of the ham.

since working the next day, left the place after the 2nd drink. reach home & my fav rojak awaits me. yummy

have been fixing my entertainment hard disk for the past few days, as i think there is bad sector on the hard disk. spend a long time to recover files. but lost quite alot oso. haiz sad case. things start to fail me again. even my shoe bag that i use for gym, the zipper is not doing its job.

jus bought a new bag jus now after RT...
RT is shagging me. total mileage of 4km, splitted to 2km each. after the 1st run was doing chin-up, after the 2nd run was having shuttle-run training. now the whole body aches, partly from the RT training & partly from the gym on tues.

anyway will sleep early today to recuperate. tomorrow will be watching death race & cyborg, she on saturday. will update the review on my review blog after watching.

dats all for now.

steamboat at chinatown

2008-08-17T21:46:00.004+08:00

had dinner ytd wit frens at this steamboat restaurant in chinatown.
quite empty when we 1st reached, but as time gets late, more & more pple are coming in.
its lucky that we reached early.

as its a self service type of steam boat, we get to get the raw food at our choice, which i find not bad, but some food is jus not available to get. for example is the sliced pork, which is gone immediately it is dished out. (typical Singaporean, i will say)

i'm a Singaporean too. a plate of sliced pork

anyway, we ordered 2 soup base (chicken & tom yam). The tom yam tasted not so sour & spicy, instead I find it "sweet", comparing it with mee siam (if you guys understand what I meant).

but after this meal, i think i gained a new nick. Tau pok man. haha basically all the tau pok is eaten by me & yes, I would not say all but majority of the tau poks are eaten by me. I jus like to eat tau pok & i like to squeeze out the soup absorbed by it (nice feeling!!!).

while eating, we chit-chatted & tok abt topics that (i would say) is disgusting. not many pple can take that type of conversation, but i started it since everyone is so close, at least if any1 is not keen in listening, i'll stop it. but it seems everyone dun mind, so I jus spill out all the nonsense ideas from the tom-yam flavoured mouth. maybe my nonsense has been sealed up for quite a long time, & it was jus a nice time to break the seal (for jus the day).

some pictures taken with my K800i (still the best handphone cam i find so far)

tau poks on tom yam (makes me salivating)

a piece of soggy wanton

looks like jap curry

laksa soup based? its the oil from the meat (although there's a lot from the tom yam soup base)

dinner lasted for 2 hrs. went for a long walk (basically from chinatown to central) good exercise as we jus had too full. think i hav indigestion now, although pop a pill dat suppose helps to release out air. can't imagine a room filled with fart? its happening rite now

stinks said my bro. ok i'll stop here...

I'm back!!!

2008-08-15T13:25:00.002+08:00

hihi everyone, my blog is back. its been 2 mths since I last wrote a blog. a lot of things have happened which I will cover (if I feel like it)
ok so stay tune for updates.

我真的...累了

2008-06-04T13:41:00.000+08:00

今天就用华文写这一篇的部落格吧。今天真的感觉累了。在地铁上想了很多。其中一件就是为了庆祝其中一位朋友的生日。他简直就是很麻烦，原本说没有办法抽时间，因为他有事。现在又突然说有空，惹得我都不想去了。我看我应该不会去吧，都弄得我没心情。

工作已经很烦了，现在还得为了庆祝他的生日的事而想那么多。我看我自己出去算了。朋友们，如果你们看了我写的这些，你们不需要把我算在内。这是我当下的心情。

另外一件事可能是我比较疲惫吧。今天正在大扫除，把以前几时年的文件给丢弃。因为已没用处了。我心想为什么我得帮人家清理这些文件，总觉得心理有点不爽。但有什么办法，如果我不清理，我老板一定还是会找我帮忙。明天还有一堆的文件得清理。

现在写的这一个部落格，可能是最后一篇吧。我将会开始写在另一个地方，只有我批准的朋友才能看。这里我将不会写我的心情了。

mon - 2nd Jun 08

2008-06-03T11:09:00.000+08:00

started work early 2day, as some new things were done and was standby, jus in case
budd was unlucky 2day, suppose 2 more pple were to help out. but were either mc or on leave.
can tell frm her expression dat its not gd to be there. luckily, it didn't last long till she come back upstairs. think she felt relieved.

after lunch had a meeting wit boss & colleagues, tok abt things i'm helping out since last yr.
dun really like dat though. 1 of my colleagues, whose supposed to take back the work i'm helping out, was like kana shoot by my boss. maybe sometimes my colleague is too busy, as he goes out to customer almost everyday.

anyway, a sudden headache is climbing up from the back of the neck. tot eating smting will help. ate the sesame biscuit dat mitch bought frm my. quite like the smell of it, reminds mi of a childhood snack. anyway, quite side-tracking alot. emailing wit budd a lot jus now, discussing on the bday celebration for ssk & zc. suggested maybe do the usual (dinner, bowling & pub). another idea was go for chalet for 1 nite & ton there. dun mind dat idea but nid 2 know wat to prepare.

anyway, since 1 of the bday boys cannot make it, we may nid to change another day. reached home and saw my credit card dat i applied came in. woo finally its here. nice black card i find it. attached inside got some vouchers. can use it to shop. cos felt headache, so got mum to help mi 刮痧. quite pain initially, but it helps abit. think will stop drinking for tis wk, since i've been drinking for the past wk. now chatting wit budd & watching tokyo tower movie, another jap story dat i like.

ok dats all for the day.

sun - 1st Jun 08

2008-06-02T12:36:00.000+08:00

ok, a blog entry. its been sometime since i blogged. (ermm... 2days can be considered sometime?)

partly maybe becos aft budd say she's gng usa nxt yr bah, so dun know wat to write.
anyway, had a chat in the late morning wit her. told mi dat she quite enjoy narnia. i nvr watch narnia b4, so not veri interested.
anyway pop her a qn on when they intend to haf the holiday... likely chance will be sept or oct. location is still "?", may nid to discuss wit the rest.
cos actually had a idea of maybe bk a chalet and stay thr for a nite for bbq and drinks ard dec period, jus feel like being wit the usual gang together. maybe discuss wit the rest, see wat they say bah.
she suggested maybe if go holiday, bk something like a apartment whr all can stay together & haf drinks & games. told her i dun mind, but will nid to discuss wit the rest.

watch a sg movie, 美满人生, in the morning. quite ok i feel, as its a story of all the family members. each of them is like a main actor/actress as they hav their challenges in life & family issues. after the movie, wen for billiard wit zc. its been quite some time since i played, cos he was having exam preparation for the past few wkends. for 2day, i feel like i hav the form. scored quite high points for most of the rounds. zc was rather sian, as he did not manage to play much. (blame me bah!) anyway the usual saying between the both of us on the billiard game: 如果打得那么准，就是该回家了。

aft the game, accompany him for dinner & left hm aft dat. wen hm for dinner. heard mum is cooking 药材鸡, so no matter wat, i will go hm for dinner. indeed, it is delicious. hehe. was telling mum dat ytd was in foodcourt, and the tray on my table had the smell of 药材鸡, so tot of eating it. in the end, mum is preparing it for dinner. mmmm delicious...

its gonna be a week for work. end of entry...

mon-tues - 26th-27th May 08

2008-05-28T21:55:00.000+08:00

long entries again. do bear with me. i'll try my best to make it short. (as though, hehe)

Monday
its the start of work again after 1 wk of break, so the pace of work was not dat fast. bro zc jus came back frm his jap trip. he bought me a necklace, of black colour & with a horse-head chess & a skull key (to unlock some ancient relic... hmm...), for my belated bday pressie. Thanks bro.

There is oso gums (apple flavor) & 2 instant noodles, which 1 of it I quite like the cover, Otoko no Ippai.

during lunch treated Yian at Fig & Olive, as she is leaving the coy soon. Quite sad though but respect her decision. Finally another restaurant that accept my Diners Ace Card. This makes it the 3rd place that I can use. hehe. aft lunch, conducted a test for those who attended my training on a product installation. SSK was the 1st guy to be tested, which is quite a problem guy. Basically, i have to re-cover the things that has been taught to him. He fully utilised the 2 hrs of test time & exceeded it. It was a tedious task of the day. I would grade him as fail, if there is grading. Maybe i'll retest him again another time.

Tuesday
early morning saw YT on train, did not call her as she's like slpin & i was fanning myself, as it was quite hot in the train. msn her in the nite & kana suan by her. anyway, finally manage to finish "Eat Pray Love". i quite like the book as the author covers on her trips to Italy, India & Bali. This is the 1st time I read a book that is 80-90% all on the author itself. Quite unique.

2day conducted another test, tis time its Mr J's turn. Not bad for him. manage to complete everything within 1 hr. unlike someone. hehehe (definitely will kana suan by some1.)
wen lunch at bestway at ard 1.40pm, was doing documentation and missed the time. i guess the time passed quite fast 2day.

was caught for meeting ard 3-4+, ends ard 6. dats y i say time flies 2day. zc is gng gym 2day, but he didn't realize the timing, so remind him & left ofc ard 6.40. 2day manage to mt bro zs b4 gng to the gym. its seldom dat we had such a case. anyway did the usual stuff. think zc did not ex for quite some time & i think he overshot his limit. he was sitting inside the toilet's bench for ard 30mins. there is a instance whereby his whole body was white, even his lips. (i rem i had tis feeling a couple of times when i'm overshot my limit). but he felt better aft he vomitted. saw all the food that he had for lunch, at least his lips is red now. so i'm relieved at least.

left gym ard 9 & zc says he is feeling very empty. i told him of cos is empty, the lunch is all digested by the basin. wen to parco food court for thai food. b4 then, zs wen to a specs shop to look for his oakley sunglass. but seems its too ex. say order on web will be cheaper.

aft dinner left hm, reached ard 11+. on my msn & read blog in my bookmark. came across p's blog. seems like she has the same feeling dat i had in the past. so msn her and chatted with her. cos she is quite depressed becos she can't find a perm job 4 3 mths & coys have been rejecting as she is still studying & they feel dat they will left aft she grad. come on, definitely but if you r paying gd & job is acceptable, i dun think she will leave dat early. chatted wit her till 12+, then was gng off9, all of sudden 2 msn msgs popped up. i was shocked as it was a long time dat i have more than 2 msn msgs in my task bar. 1 frm will & the other frm ak. will told me ak pc got prob. had a video call wit ak to trouble-shoot for him. hope the repair of OS helps to solve the prob. at the same time, bro lx msn mi. think he has completed his exams, so was finding a day to mt up wit mi & zc, maybe for billiard or movie. gotta chk wit zc b4 i can get back 2 him.

anyway i'm gng 2 be late for work. gtg.

P/S: P - if u happen to see this, dun be too stress ovr the finding of job, u will find it definitely. feel free to call mi if u nid, i can be a listening ear.

Granado Espada "Kinky shots"

2008-05-26T12:50:00.000+08:00

these shots were taken last wk when my bro zs & I was thinking to do some poses with the 2 gays of the game. haha trying our best to position it. may not be dat pro, but pple who sees it will roughly understand. haha.

P/S: The shots to be seen has to be done with the provision of any adult of more than 18yrs. There is no discrimination of gays. These shots are just for fun.

2 gay guys hugging each other

still hugging, they jus love each other.

erm! proposing? or.......

woo... wat a weird position? yoga pose? or something else?

Proposal Daisakusen

2008-05-26T12:35:00.000+08:00

spend the whole day 2day watching this japanese drama, Proposal Daisakusen. it is abt a story of this guy, Iwase Ken (Yamashita Tomohisa aka 山下智久), whose childhood friend that he liked is getting married. And he is feeling regret, thinking if he can go back time to do whatever he could to make his childhood friend, Yoshida Rei (Nagasawa Masami aka 長澤正美. i find her quite cute, another of my type. hehe) , like him. With the help of a fairy from the church, he is able to go back to the past. I find it quite interesting, though there are times he changed some things, but its the last episode & the SP that have the most touching scenes.

This is recommended by my fren md. Really like this so much.

What I learned from this drama it to treasure the times you have now and dun make any regrets. Whatever you want to do or love someone, must be true to urself and go for it.

Will put in more nice review of japanese drama when I watched it.

sat - 24th May 08

2008-05-25T10:04:00.000+08:00

today attended Excel class in the morning. during the break, tap wireless frm gloria jeans. had a short chat wit farah & filza, cos suppose 2day thr is a family day at east coast. but seems like the response is not veri gd. i myself did not go oso. told farah dat i may go for the d&d. hopefully my mood stays this way, then i may go for the d&d.

anyway, aft the cls, i wen ovr to amoy for lunch, bought char kway teow. its been a long time since i ate char kway teow. delicious!!! aft lunch, was thinking whr 2go. think maybe make a trip down to borders to find some bks. on the bus, realised tat the traffic is moving quite slow, so decide to go to kinokuniya instead. was intending to find the book from accuracy of death.

while searching, i find another book, be with me. (not the singapore movie) its a japanese story. quite nice. thr is a drama & movie of it. i like it very much. i walk further longer in search of accuracy of death. finally i found the book!!!

but only thing is tat it is in Chinese. phew... it will test my Chinese reading again. its been quite a long time since i read a Chinese book, other than magazine & newspaper. so i grab the 2 books and make payment at the cashier.

walk along orchard, saw alot of busking frm JC, raising their part for the recent disaster happened to Myanmar & China. 走着走着就到了Heeren，就进了HMV，听听有什么新专辑。但是，因为最近钱用得比较凶，所以竟量控制口袋，不要乱花钱。听了一些新专辑，瞒不错的。但是，还是控制了自己。哈哈，如果budd看到的话，一定又会说我的。以前，当她想买一些东西都会问，"should I buy?"。我每次地回答都是"buy, must buy"。想起来瞒高兴，可能花钱的不是我，所以才说得出这种话。听着听着时间慢慢地过去，还是回家比较好。妈打电话给我，问我有没有吃晚餐，还说家正在下雨。我说这里还是阳光普照，热得要命。

回到家，看超级星光大道３。恭喜潘嗣敬（Ｓｕｇｉ）和黄靖伦进入十强。现在只能等待星光三班的专辑。好期待喔！

今天就这样过了。多一天就要开工了。假期过得真快，真希望每天都过得无忧无虑，无烦恼。

Tuesday
today plan to send my sis phone for servicing, as her phone lcd has cracked. wen lunch wit the usual gang at cine. dat day was my actual day for bday, morning rcvd sms frm pple wit bday greetings. the gang wished mi again, although had celebrated together with dem on mon. anyway aft lunch, i brought budd & fil to 1 of a agt. aft bringing dem thr, as the place is like a those apartment type. so decide to go to another agt. den i proceed to send the phone for servicing. the queue for servicing is not as much as during the wkends. saw 1 girl quite nice looking at the counter (wonder will i be served by her). anyway, when it was my turn, the customer service staff says dat a charge of $145 will be imposed for the fixing, as it was not covered under the warranty. (my wallet got a hole for this) left the place as the phone is only ready for collection 2 days later. so left the place and proceed to my next destination, sim lim square.

as i have too much time, i take my walk to sim lim, stop-over at 7-11 for a bottle of drink. once i reached, i took the pricelist for some of the shops, as i planning to buy a new processor. aft sim lim, i proceed to parco's kinokuniya. was trying to find if thr is a bk from accuracy of death. no luck thr but saw a bk on train man. a drama & movie that i like, as its abt a otaku (aka anime/it freak = a fanatic of those anime characters) who helps a lady in a train frm some rude guy and he discussed this in a bbs. (similarity to chatting, but is a web version with the messages recorded there) left for hm aft dat.

Wednesday
i was thinking of wat to do for tis day, as i will be going for gym in the evening. left hm ard 3pm to send my shure ear phone for servicing. it was at ubi area which is relatively too far for mi. anyway, took train down and change a bus. as it was still under warranty, they change it for mi, 1 to 1 exchange, onli dat the ear piece portion was changed from transparent to black. i dun mind dat, as i dun wan to make another trip down. aft dat, i take a bus & train to kallang. walk ovr to kallang leisure mall to see wat r the stalls available. as expected, there was not much stalls dere, although there is arcade, a cinema, foodcourt, ice skate & bowling alley & and of cos shops. i'm attracted 2 1 of the shops dat sells anime stuffs. quite interesting, i stuck in the shop for ard 30min. aft dat, wen to arcade for some game. left the place ard 6.30 and proceed to gym.

Thursday
was thinking wat to do for the day. spend the day toking to jy, as she's on urgent leave to take care of her grandma. her grandma was sick the previous night, as she's 不放心, she take a urgent leave to take care of her. tok with her alot of things, work & oso leisure stuff. send her some tw drama dat she wans to watch, a total of 6 episodes. i left hm ard 2+ to collect my sis phone. thr goes $145. make a trip down to cine, i-shop for my charger for inspection. cos it is not doing any charging. the guy told me dat it is not working, told me it is more worth it to buy a new 1 if it is out of warranty. the price for the charger $150. i'm broke for the mth. ah!!! mus ctrl my budget for tis mth again, since payday jus pass not long ago.

Friday
since i hav to ctrl my budget, i decide not to go out 2day. jus stay hm to play game & watch movie. morning cleared the stuff that has been below my bed for the past few weeks. also cleared letters dat r of last yr. dun nid them actually. clear out some old stuff, including a auto-graph bk dat i had during the last yr of secondary life. inside has the ctcs of some of my sec sch frens, leaving their records inside. so fast, time flies. it was as though like yesterday. it oso tells mi something, i'm getting old. wahahahaha!!!

mon - 19th May 08

2008-05-21T01:07:00.000+08:00

2day i celebrate my bday with my gd buddies. 1st we mt up at ps gv to watch accuracy of death by Takeshi Kaneshiro (aka 金城武). saw budd in her specs, looks very diff. haha!

Its a nice movie, which i quite like it. maybe i'm a jap supported so any movies i will like it. but the story line for this movie shows the characters from different times and linked them up in the end. like the song, Sunny Day, featured in the movie by fictional singer, Kazue Fujiki (aka Manami Konishi or 小西真奈美）.

after the movie, we took a bus to marina square for bowling. but the waiting list for bowling stretches to 20 persons. so we give up the idea on that and wen for pool instead. its quite ex though, $12/hr. played ard 4 rounds and we swopped to arcade, cos sani is not favourable in playing this game. we played daytona w/o will, as his machine cannot insert coin. we stayed in the arcade till 6.30pm. left the place and proceed for dinner.

wen to Pasta de Waraku for dinner. i ordered a gratin set, with a soup (i find it creamy), salad, a gratin & beef pasta. during ordering, maybe the waitress is not good at english, ssk kips disturb her. the waitress kips laughing away.
cannot take it, haha!

grp photo at Pasta de Waraku

after the dinner, budd and zs plan to go for this Durty Nelly's Irish Pub. they gave mi 2 options, this pub or Harry's @ Esplanade. then we proceed to Harry's. Adrian & Sheena left early as they have something on. then we reached Harry's and ordered drinks. the place was rather warm, and almost all of us can feel the heat. i'm the obvious, as i'm the heat detector.

drinks for the 5 speckies

budd was toking abt the oct trip. she was asking if oct not gng jap, wat is the next place we wld wan to go. zs says he wans to visit bangkok (his fav), will says europe countries (watch soccer), i said rome (a place i'll visit 1 day). anyway, budd told me initially they plan to celebrate my bday in a chalet, which i turn down at the start (cos not in gd mood when they ask mi), but ltr she told mi tat now, u can't bk jus a 1 day chalet. mayb we can plan ahead nxt time.

spec-less buddies

now with specs

we order 2 cups of long island tea (the finale drink). all like this drink as its filled with lotsa ice. will drink abit and felt dat its rather too strong for him. like wat budd said, the guys' face are all red, with exception of ssk. (will post the photos ltr)

after sending budd & ssk to bus stop, mi, zs & will proceed to mrt. 3 guys blushing (haha, not sure if tats a gd term) will was rather stone, can see dat its abit too much for him. it was not so bad for mi, maybe my limit has not reached (tested last time was 4 cups at jazz at southbridge)

as zs wanted to hav a sit, we travel down to marina bay, then back up to north south line. been toking abt work, whether to switch job. i told him will think abt it, see if my workload will be decreased and back to doing programming.

wen back hm, budd told mi she can't slp. jus lying on bed. then i told her try to rest, as she's working, i'm not (on leave for the whole wk). and oso she did not have much rest the day b4.
dats for the day event. (photos will be uploaded at a ltr date.)

P/S: Budd, zs, will, ssk, ak & gf. Thanks for the celebration and gifts. really enjoy the day and like the pressie. will make sure the friendship bond of us last forever.

sat&sun - 17-18th May 08

2008-05-19T12:00:00.000+08:00

Saturday
wake up morning for MS Excel class in company. not enuf sleep cos wen billiard the day b4 with bro at OCC. Its been quite some time since I played billiard with bro. i am on standby for these week, as I'm on recall manning. jus afraid that I may be recalled during the class. during the class, i received a phone call and it was a private line, so i pick it up, thinking maybe that i cud be recalled. lucky it was jc, she's in ofc clearing work, so ask mi if wan to hav lunch. i told her shld b ok.

lucky, i was not recalled on sat. phew. 1 free day for now. so wen lunch with jc & zc. jc & zc gng jap soon, followed them to peninsula plaza to change jap yen. waited for ard 30mins as they change quite alot of money. while waiting, chit-chat with the money changer on the current world affairs (natural disaster, price increase of food product). after getting the money, we went to this restaurant, curry don. they serve all kinds of japanese curry cuisine. i order beef curry, spicy. quite nice i feel, jus dat the rice is not much. after the lunch, we sit inside of the restaurant till 3pm. the ambience of the place is nice and not much customer though. after the lunch, left the place and i proceed home. When I cross the road, the strap of my sling bag break. lucky i got a carrabiner, manage to hook up to the bag. think the bag that will & ssk gave for my bday pressie comes at the rite time.
JC: Thanks for the lunch and enjoy ur trip to jap.

Sunday
wake up ard 6+ in the morning. check on my char in GE, then bring my laptop and watch taiwan variety show. after watching awhile, i felt asleep. woke up ard 10. after dat, rcvd sms from jy dat she reached khatib. tot she will be coming ard noon. lucky i wake up jus in time. wait for her at mrt control stn as she nvr been to my hse. soon she reached, she nid to buy blank DVDs & soya drink. she said she got migraine. so i ask her walk slowly. cos she nid to dup some DVD, as she can't do it using her lappy and nid to return to her fren tmr, so she came to my hse. lucky, 2day i'm not called up for mobilisation. hope it jus pass, even tmr.

the disc is copy-protected, so ask zs for help. lucky the software he reckon works. she bought vegetarian for lunch, as she said tmr is vesak day. she says the vegetarian at the cwp foodcourt is nice. glad to here she like it, although i seldom eat in the foodcourt. (maybe shld try one of my leave days) she bought vegetarian back for dinner & also for her grandma. after she left, i continue playing GE & watch taiwan variety show.

budd came on9, told me to bk tik for tmr movie & the schedule for tmr activities. pray tmr dat i wun be mobilised, or else all the planning by budd will go down to drain.

wed - 14th May 08

2008-05-15T14:39:00.000+08:00

today is considered a peaceful day. at least not much calls for trouble-shooting.
finally i got time to do my work, without disturbance. budd is on mc 2day, read her blog say she got diarrhoea & gastric prob. gastric has been a long prob for her, its like haunting her everytime.
Budd, you shld start to take medication, although u dun like it. but if it will help you cure it (although not immediate), y not give it a shot.

anyway, morning farah send some email out for leisure, cc to zc. zc turned on auto-forwarding to mi, se and my boss. my boss saw it and reply her dat try not to do this in future. after seeing dat, i email her, telling her not to send email to zc. i oso tell her to inform the rest, jus in case she do the same.

later of the day, i had my appraisal done. it was an hour of talking. this time round more from mi, unlike previous years, i'm a listener. cos this yr got too much things (especially work stress) that i can talk about. highlight to my boss that i am stressful after taking over jobs frm the ex-colleagues that left. and oso some cases when i get really angry, especially 1 instance of a job being brought forward earlier because of a sudden push. i oso told him dat i'm sick of doing support work. told him dat i still prefer doing development work, rather than support. told him all the various things that i dislike and wat i feel abt the coy. anyway, had enuf of the toking on this, shld not drag too much. in conclusion, i told him what i felt for the past 1 yr. its up to him whether he can shift my work load away.

after the appraisal, i cleared some emails and left for gym. will got there early as he wen agt near dat area. his dad did not came, so both mi & zs took a bus for dinner. think i'm have too much energy 2day. did lots of weights & walk on a sloppy treadmill for 30minutes. over dinner, i was too tired and lack of appetite, so jus order something dat is not of small portion. zs pass mi my bday present.
ZS: Thank you for the gift. though i have not opened it up. But thanks for it.

as usual, talk about the game that both of us have been playing on the way back. think dat is a topic that he and I can talk abt. soon he alighted the train. then its back to lone ranger back.

recently been reading "Eat, Pray, Love". there is a part of the book that actually describes how the feelings of the author, which also describes what I was feeling at that time too (although not totally, but majority i guess), the moody feeling. think i'm not the only person that has this kind of weird feeling.

anyway, i'm feeling normal again. hopefully, nothing will make me blood boil before i go for my leave.

2.5 days more till i'm out of work (temporary)

ok signed off from here.

its another 3.5 days more (sat got a excel class, so 0.5 day) till I go for my 1 week leave. have to endure for a few more days.

ytd makes mi have the moody feeling again. cos of the constant calls for trouble-shooting, it just make me frust. AHHHH!!!
comes 2day, had a meeting in the morning with our head office folks, on the product i have been supporting for weeks. lots of issue for this product which i hate it so much. when the head office folks tot of out-sourcing the development to our company, my boss straight away says that we can do it. after hearing it, in my mind keeps saying "How can you do so many things with only 3 programmers". All in his mind is the $$$. An idea appears in my mind, "what will my boss feel if i'm quitting the job, think he will become desperate"

anyway, meeting lasts close to 1pm+. left for lunch alone as I was settling some work. wen lunch with OT & LL, as they gng onsite visit. after deciding whr to go for lunch, they side-track, and wen to collect some stuff. LL keep asking mi if i got wear round-neck t-shirts. i suspect something weird. so jus tell her i seldom wear. soon we reach a shop that sells clothes. she showed me some designs, but not of my cup of tea.

anyway, wen lunch at whitehse. i got the laksa yong tau foo. it been quite some time since i have it. chit-chat during lunch and i wen back to office.

read a email frm SSK (think i will call u by ur nick), asking mi out to celebrate for my bday. actually i'm not quite in the mood for bday celebration, afterall this past yr is not a happy yr for mi, and rather its a moody, anger filled and stressful yr.

think the idea of leaving the coy has been stronger and stronger. recently, 2 other colleagues have tendered, of them 1 of them i'm quite sociable (not sure if this is the correct word to use) with. even a staff who has work for almost 18 yrs is leaving the coy, why can't I. think i will hint my boss during my appraisal. I have enough of support work. jus dun feel like handling support work. its like my own job cannot be done all becos of the support work dat has to be done.

dats all for today's entry.

P/S: Buddies, I jus don't have the mood for bday celebration. I apologized if my answer to you guys is rude.

morning was a start of watching 台湾综艺节目，超级星光大道。
the show kickstarts with the introduction of this little girl, Connie Talbot. The 1st time I listened to her voice is recently in HMV. It was so nice, so angelic voice. She's actually frm a competition from Britian, Britain's Got Talent show.

超级星光大道 is the 3rd season now. For this season, there is contestants from Singapore. Of the 5 contestants from Singapore，only left 2, 潘嗣敬和黄靖伦。加油了!

after the show, i watched 2 movies, 1 called Afro Samurai (a animated movie with Samuel L Jackson dubbing the main character's voice), the other called Zero Crows (a japanese movie, background based in a school life, with lots of fighting)

now i'm watching 恶作剧2吻. 看过第一系列, 所以对第二系列感兴趣.

ok dats all for the entry. back to watching of the drama.

outing with the gang + filza today. its been quite some time since I go out wit the gang (ever since my moody days.) ok 1st stop was New York New York in Citylink. had our dinner there. flipping through the menu while waiting bro zs to arrive. i decide to order seafood platter, but it is for 2 pax. luckily, budd dun mind sharing wit me. so we order dat.

its a big portion: Seafood Platter for 2

Pasta that Filza ordered.

Bro zs order chicken set

SSK order Juicy Beef Tenders. Looks to me like lazagne

anyway some pixs were taken while waiting for the food to be served. lucky my camera is still in my bag. its been there for 2 days, and i keep on forgetting to take it out. (maybe i'm an uncle alrdy, memories are failing). filza left 1st as she got something on. we left aft her soon later and proceed walking towards Haagen Dazs at Esplanade.

As we walk pass the stall, its quite empty, so we went for a walk around the esplanade mall itself. we wen to the library @ esplanade. its quite a different library, as the books/media there are all related to arts/music. Anyway, it was my 1st time to esplanade, so I find it quite interesting.

Soon it was 9pm, we made our way to Haagen Dazs. We got a total of 6 scoops, as it is cheaper. We order a fruity ice-cream, comprises of Mango & Passionfruit, Mango Sorbet and Raspberry, topped it up with mango sauce. the taste is exactly wat i like, sour! Raspberry and Mango Sorbet taste more sour as compared to Mango & Passionfruit. The other 3 scoops are all chocolate related, except 1 with Rum Raisins. I taste the Rum Raisins, indeed there is the taste of Rum in it. Did not take much as the chocolate ice-cream slowly melt around it.

Fruity Ice-cream

chocolaty ice-cream

aft finish the ice-cream, we head back home, sending budd to her bus-stop 1st. but it nvr took long for her bus to arrive. then we made our way back to the mrt station.

reach back home, went to start my bro's car engine. as bro is coming back on sat and i got a class at ofc on sat, i am planning my route to ofc from hm and to airport. roughly i know how to make my way there. hopefully i wun get lost.

ok its late. z monster is finding me. signed off for now.

2008-05-07T12:54:00.000+08:00

today's time passed really fast.
morning came to office to prepare a training for inhouse techies on a product. tried to escape from the birthday celebration by the company, as mine falls on this mth. but still got caught.
gm did a talk on the company performance and reveal some incentives and the bonuses for mid-year.

anyway after the briefing, my training started ard 10+ and ended near 12pm. did some preparation for the next batch and soon it was lunch time.
over lunch, budd ask if i wan to go out on thurs for ice-cream. i told her dat i'll pass, as i'm not a ice-cream person. (to be exact, i dun like sweet stuff)

after lunch, wen back to ofc. boss call for mting ard 3pm and tok all the way till 4-5pm. jus when i sat down at my desk, then i notice that the time is 5.30pm. then i work abit longer and left ard 7pm.

today log on to facebook, its been a long time since i log on. jus realise dat u can tok to ur frens who r on9 in facebook. very interesting. i look at my funwall, came across tis link from my fren. it shows a korean kid (5yrs old) dat plays piano. very nice of the piano dat is played, but the sad thing is she's blind.

dats all for now!

sunday 4th Apr 08

2008-05-05T14:42:00.000+08:00

today was a long day. tis will b a long entry frm long-winded me.

morning was a hot day. the weather these few days is damn hot. even sitting still will sweat (or is it jus mi). anyway, wen ntuc again, driving my bro's car with mum and sis tagging along again.

recently, singapore pools released the scratch-it card again. spent $15 on the cards (1 for $1). but onli manage to get back $3. so sad! maybe my sis luck is not gd (she did the scratching)

as usual bought quite a lot of things today. as mum is paying the stuff, i wen to top-up my cash-card as bro is coming back tis sat, so will be driving to changi. (parking fee)

afternoon mting bro zs for lunch. he suggest to go tis indonesian restaurant at lucky plaza. he said the chili is very powerful. the chili i take really make mi sweat. used around 10+ pieces of tissue paper. (thank god the shop provides the tissue) the chili i find is still manageable for mi, but not for zs, as he is struggling to conquer it. i find the drink rather unique, orange with coconut. very interesting taste.

after the lunch, wen ovr to hmv. saw a akkido demonstration outside heeren. but we jus walk pass as we nid the air-con. i make my way to hmv, listening to albums. nothing much interests mi except jazz. so wen lvl by lvl to the jazz dept. bought a couple of albums, diane reeves (jazz) and al jarreau (love songs). got 2 stamps on the card from hmv. (25 stamps will be able to exchange for 1 CD, think it will take some time) aft the hmv, wen to the 4th lvl, as zs is looking for a arm pouch for his mp3 player for his upcoming run in june. didn't manage to find it, so we make our way to the next destination.

it is a long walk from heeren to arab st, as zs said that somewhr near arab st, there is a nice prata restaurant. so we started our walk ovr thr. along the way, zs said that somewhr near waterloo st, there is a bar. we manage to find it, my secret garden. maybe next time can try it. soon, we reached bugis, decide to walk in to parco, to enjoy some of the air-con. (i'm sweating alot by now) thereafter, we walk ard 15mins and reached the next location, the prata restaurant (zam zam if i'm not wrong). we ordered 2 mutton murtabak, 1 for each. zs introduce mi to 1 of the puzzle game. quite interesting as it involves some thinking (abit similar to sudoku, but more challenging). 10x10 square are still manageable, but come to 15x15, its tougher as it involves zooming here and there. i give up aft playing the 2nd puzzle of 15x15.

we plan to take a bus, walking towards the bus-stop, we came across a toy shop, so pop-in to see what they have. they sell car models, so was trying to find my bro's car model, but in vain. anyway, the shop is planning to close as not much customer around. so left the shop and waited for the bus to vivocity. vivocity is where we watching ironman. tiks compliment frm zs company. thanks for the tiks bro.

wen ard window shopping as we are still early for the movie. looked at some new phones from samsung, the camera are better than mine (K800i) with 5megapixel & 3x optical zoom. sounds interesting. but i dun intend to change phone yet. (still waiting for iphone official release)

time flies and we proceed our way to the cinema. iron man was cool, describing on how the actual red-yellow steel man comes about. i love stories that describe how things are made with the initial ideas. i'll give 8/10. 2 missing points for not show-casting war-machine and the villian mandrake (a guy who wears 10 rings. sounds like me. haha)

aft the movie, zs nids to do some work there. so i wen window shop on my own. saw a shoe in adidas, looks nice. maybe can buy it when payday comes. later received a call frm zs, saying he got locked up in his company's data centre. i figured my way there, find their security person to help. luckily they manage to get him out aft stuck for ard 15-20mins, or else he gotta spend the nite in his ofc.

then we took a train back. on the way, still discussing on the game that we have been playing, Granado Espada. (details i'll not go indepth or else will bore the blog readers)

anyway, on the way back home, boss calls mi. as there was some power failure in the data centre, my colleague wen down to hav a look. luckily i nvr wen down, as my boss said they left ard 10+. or else i'll not be able to watch the movie. my boss thinking i'm ard tmr ask mi to go ofc earlier jus in case there is some issue. then i told him dat i'm on leave. then he jus realise. so he call my other colleague for assistance instead.

last fri, my colleague wanted mi to cancel my leave, then i told her i nid the leave and i can still work but i jus dun wan to stay in ofc. cos been feeling not so good for past few wks. so i nid the leave to take a short break.

ok dats all for the entry, think i'm very long-winded enuf.

a whole new look & feel

2008-05-04T09:20:00.000+08:00

woo... done some extra stuff for my blogsite. change the background colour, added new widgets.
it seems its not a wasted saturday after all.

although 1st half of the day was watching 阿旺新传. i'm almost done with it. 7 more episodes then i can watch 恶作剧2吻.

think i'll break from the dramas. will watch a movie later, maybe "Over Her Dead Body".

dinner time, will continue perhaps later.

2008-05-02T11:46:00.000+08:00

today is a boring day. spend whole day playing Granado Espada, watching 台湾综艺节目 and slept the whole afternoon. as usual woke up by mum for dinner. so walk towards toilet, clear water. maybe i still in my dreams, i grab the toothbrush and squeeze toothpaste and started brushing my teeth. later then i realised why was i brushing my teeth?

had my dinner after it and then had a rest before i go for my haircut. tot of driving my bro's car and go for a haircut. but tot of the carpark fee, so i drop that idea.

after the haircut, walk back home to start my bro's car engine again. i feel like driving the car, so decided to call home see if they wanted rojak. my sis picked up the phone and said dat both my parents are out. i believed they went to my aunt's hse. so i just start the engine. and wen for a ride.

drive around woodlands area. felt quite good after the ride, although its jus a neighbourhood area, maybe becos tis past few weeks i have been feeling quite moody.

1 more day of work before 2 days... erm 3 days of rest, as monday i'll be on leave.

2008-05-02T02:07:00.000+08:00

boring day. although its a public holiday today.
but i still find it boring. haiz. maybe go for a haircut. hair is growing long

tuesday - argh!

2008-04-30T14:34:00.000+08:00

wat a great start for the day. email system in office was down. the person who was handling this is now out of town. my colleague and i took quite some time to realise the root of the cause. the mood for the day was spoilt by this stupid problem. phones keep coming in saying of cannot receive email or email delayed or email was not delivered.

sometimes, pple jus dun understand how to read email. i sent a notification saying we are troubleshooting it, and they jus can't wait. my blood was boiling. argh!

anyway, boss ctc the person in charge (out of town) to trouble-shoot, so somehow the email manage to work. if it doesn't, i believe i wun even hav to go for lunch or even my gym regime.

anyway, as this is over, i head down to gym wit my colleagues. did the usual stuff, with running today. jus feel like it, since i seldom run. after the run, went to take the weight. apparently, my weight is decreasing. seems like a good sign of losing weight. i got to keep it up.

after gym, wen for dinner wit bro zs. had thai food at the food court in bugis. surprising the basil leaf set is not that spicy as before. anyway, after the dinner, left the place and proceed back home. on the way, zs say dat budd is planning to organise maybe a short trip in july. i told him it will depend on my mood then. but seriously, if my mood then is like current, i dun think i'll go.

reach back home, paid bills and start my bro's car. soon he will be back. then i wun hav free car to drive. how sad! dats all for the day.

hot and dusty

2008-04-29T14:51:00.000+08:00

got home from work late today. was trying to complete some work outstanding before i leave office. reach home, on my lappy chatted with my bro lx. its been a while since we chat. cos he wanted to watch superhero movie, so i told him how is it. he is bz wit his studies, so maybe we can come out aft his exams.

my PC was on to play my usual Granado Espada. initially, it was fine. but after playing for some time, the PC shut down by itself. this has happen before and i have to take out all the parts of the PC to clear the dust. so i did, dismantling basically almost everything. from the PC fan, to the CPU fan itself. even the motherboard was taken out for dust removal.

As i filled the dust into a small plastic, after clearing the dust, i see clumps of dust collated in the bag, hopefully i dun get flu tomorrow, cos i'm quite sensitive to dust. sweat keeps dripping down that i have no choice but to remove my specs.

finally, i managed to clear the dust. fix back the PC and i realised it was 5mins before 11.30pm. After switching on the PC, my sis jus came back from Fort Canning (Stereophonics concert). Then I ask her, isn't it hot at Fort Canning, then she showed me her face. Her eye makeup has started to smudge. So i dun proceed asking her, as she hit the shower room.

now i'm blogging using my lappy. PC is now running fine. hopefully it doesn't shut down in the middle of the night, as i launch Granado Espada for overnight training. ok my head is spinning. tats all for it.

hot day

2008-04-28T12:11:00.000+08:00

a hot day i wud say for today.

the start of the day was being woke up by my mum to do grocery shopping. it was a sunday, so i tot i cud slp longer. i did not know dat dad is working, if not i wun be woke up by mum as dad will be helping out. has been doing tis for the past few wks alrdy so tis wk is oso not avoidable.

but today, my sis oso tagged along. its seldom dat she wakes up tis early. so drove them to ntuc & also bought breakfast (nasi lemak).

got home soon, and watch the taiwan variety shows and anime. it was a hot day that i sweat while watching the shows. i'm sitting on my bed while watching dat my bed is a little wet becos of my sweat.

buddy was on9 in the afternoon. told her wat has happen this past few days. i felt a little off from my heart.

after i watch halfway of the anime, i watch the movie, p.s. i love you. since i read the book, i wanted to watched the movie. though i find the movie quite different from the book and the pace is rather fast. after watching this, i am watching superhero movie now.

while watching, a cup of drink is good. trying to finish the bailey, since its now quite light. shld be able to finish it soon.

friday - drinking nite

2008-04-27T05:30:00.000+08:00

friday nite was supposed the time that i will be going drinking wit bro zs. supposing to locate this chivas live lounge at clarke quay, as they sent the invite since i joined chivas live member. but after searching for close to 1 hour, we decide to walk over to boat quay instead. when we were walking towards boat quay, i stopover this asian fusion bar. outside the place shows a LCD TV wit Joanna Wang (aka 王若琳) in it. Think there is a event organised by Yes 933. It was a live performance for Joanna. She is 1 of the talented singer that I like. Especially her vocals which attracts me. Even my buddy oso likes it. Too bad it was a closed door event, only with invites can enter. But anyway, the event seems to end when we stopover there for ard 10mins. So we continue to proceed on to boat quay.

while walking to boat quay, we came across this super duper long queue to MOS. it was really crazy to be queuing there. I can imagine why there are pple who likes to go in there. Singaporeans really like to queue. This is wat I think.

Soon we reached boat quay, we happened to see this Jazz bar, named Jazz @ Southbridge. It located on the 2nd level. Below it was previously was a Coffee Bean cafe, which now has been converted to a Barracuda bar.

So we walk up to the bar. There are 2 areas in it, 1 is with minimum spending of $25 per person, which is nearer to the Jazz band, the other is without any minimum spending. Since we most likely will be having min 2 drinks, we went to the seats nearer to the Jazz band.

So i start of with ordering Imperial Jade, mix with vodka, creme de cacao, lime juice, kiwi juice. Initially I tot it will be of soury taste, which i prefer, but it was instead a sweet taste. zs ordered a Wyoborawa pear vodka on the rock. When he saw the drinks being served, he feels dat he's being cheated as my drink is of a bigger portion than his. His drink is basically a flavoured vodka with ice. Smells nice but the taste is very concentrated.

while waiting for the jazz band to arrive, my drink is almost dry. so i decide to look at the menu for another drink. there are quite a limited of mixed liquors in the menu. As i dun like the smell of gin, i decide a drink dat is mixed with brandy. the name dun sound good, Muddy Beach Water. Sounds disgusting. zs ordered flavoured magarita of mango taste, and oso ordered fries & wedges. afterall the walk from clarke quay to boat quay consumes quite an amount of energy.

soon the drinks came, my Muddy Beach Water tastes like Bailey Irish Cream. whereas zs's drink taste like slurpee. soon after, the jazz band members starts to arrive. as the vocalist has not arrived yet, they started with playing of music. lately watched a jap drama on classical music, so i'm very attracted to pianist. those slender fingers that can bring nice and smooth music.

anyway, i finished my 2nd drink pretty fast as not much alcohol can be tasted in it. So i order another 1, Cosmopolitan. Sad to say, its another sweet drink. maybe my buddy will like it. Soon the vocalist arrives. She is a lady who got "分量", so her voice has a lot of power. Actually this is the 1st time i've been to a jazz bar, which i like it very much.

I've been listening to jazz music for quite some time. she sang a few songs, from michael buble & frank sinatra. there is 1 song which is the familiar, perhaps. soon the 3rd drink is gone, while zs is still having his 2nd drink. i then got the 4th drink, long island tea, which is also the killer drink of the night. maybe i drank quite fast. the head was getting heavy and heavier.

soon later another band member (guitarist) arrives. we listen for a while before we take off, as the clock is approaching 12 midnight. Thank you zs for footing the bill. Next time it will be my treat. Definitely!

luckily, there is still a train towards woodlands direction, so i dun need to spend $ for night rider.

i slept almost all the way in the train, think if i dun sleep, i may puke. but in between certain stations, i still woke up to check where was i. finally got back home. i quickly have a shower, and jump to my bed straight.

this morning wake up, still abit tipsy. head is still quite heavy. after having breakfast, mum & I went downstairs to wash my bro's car. its been ard 2 wks since we last washed it. my leg hurts again, but this time round its on my left foot. so its another stay home saturday.

tonite will be toking to buddy, will tell her wat actually happen to me this few days.

solo movement

2008-04-24T11:45:00.000+08:00

been acting solo this few days. basically other than work, i try to minimise my toking.
even lunching oso was done alone. maybe becos of the weird feeling in me.

maybe i'm too emotional, too much feelings in me that can trigger my tempers easily.

but i think that all these feelings started to come since i've taken tasks not of my origin work last year, and also stress level has built up from time, that i get angry easily. initially i tend to release the stress by hitting walls. but i promised with buddy, so had tried to cut down a lot.

with the high stress level, it actually make tears to flow out, but i have tried to hold them in, and not showing it in front of anyone, only letting it roll when i'm alone. thats why i dun feel like toking when i had that feeling.

this feeling was back again today, all becos of work. dun really like to do the current work in my current office, i would prefer doing programming. stress from programming at least will be of a different type, a challenging one and not as worst as current one.

becos of these mixture of feelings today, i din go for the movie that my buddy asked me to go. initially she called me using office phone, so i pick up the phone, unknowingly who was it as the number was masked. she kips telling me that i can go for a free movie, as another colleague was not feeling well to go. i told her dat i shld not be gng as my mood not feeling well. i hanged up her phone and she dropped me a sms stating where is the meeting place. but i was not feeling good, so wen to HMV. slow music will heal my feelings. thats what i believed. so i head straight to the jazz department. after listening to some of the albums, i find them nice, so grab them from the shelf, total of 3 jazz genre CD & 1 jap CD. as i was listening to the CD before i purchased, buddy starts to call me, total of 5 calls, which i dun picked up as i dun feel like toking. she drop me a sms asking me to reply her or answer her phone. i did not reply immediately.

i later then walk along orchard road and sit down on 1 of those benches. then i replied her of how i felt at the moment. at that instance, i saw the skies are dark, which represents my feelings at the moment. i sat there hoping the feelings will subside. after sitting there like a idiot for ard 15 mins, i decided to walk to cine's arcade, maybe after a few games i will feel better. but i still dun feel quite well, so i change my mind and walk to the mrt station.

anyway all these feelings are all caused by work. since appraisal is coming, i will make clear to my boss on these, hoping he will understand. thats all for today.

2008-04-22T13:02:00.000+08:00

shld i quit msn?
.................................................

things are failing me

2008-04-21T12:31:00.000+08:00

it seems things are failing me. especially the bluetooth stereo headphone dat i had, its broken.

so sad, so i changed to using handsfree. but even the handsfree is failing me.

the cables is exposing and the sound is failing oso.

so its back to using IPOD Shuffle. but the ear phone dat i bought from shure is going to fail too. the wire is exposing oso, so i hav using scotch tape to cover it for the time being. hopefully i will be covered under the warranty. but thinking of sending it for warranty it far. its somewhere in ubi, veri far frm my hse. so i still think twice abt it.

even my lappy is showing symptoms. sometimes restart by itself, sometimes the screen flickers.
hope dat it wun fail so fast. cos i depend on it to do work, actually more for entertainment.

may the 瘟神 stay away from me

lazy weekend

2008-04-21T12:22:00.000+08:00

these past weekends are a lazy one for me.
been staying at home, clearing dramas dat i haven't seen
公主小妹 is one of them. now watching 阿旺新传，which is showing on Chnl 8 oso.
but i'm a slow watcher. cos i prefer watching jap dramas the most, taiwan dramas 2nd, hkg drama 3rd. korean dramas are not my cup of tea, maybe its too draggy.

anyway, leg is recovering, so i can continue with my gym regime next wk.

back to weekends, other than playing Granado Espada, watching dramas, sleeping will be the other activity for the weekend. been moody oso, so calls were not picked up by me.

been thinking wat to do for my 1 wk leave in may. since i wun be gng for holiday, i haf to think of wat to do, since its 4 days of the week dat i am taking leave.

i think i will get a new haircut and color, take it as a treat for myself as a bday present.

think dats for this lazy weekend entry. Yawnz, maybe i shld go to bed again.

friday

2008-04-19T12:19:00.000+08:00

today is a bad start. early morning wake up felt a pain at my right achilles.
tot dat it will go off, so wen off to work.
when i reaching ofc, i think its too serious, cos i'm limping my way thr.

so i decide to see a doc, and got a MC. but the strange thing is the MC says i got tension headache, instead something related to my leg. and oso medication given includes gastric pain. i dun recall telling the doc abt having gastric pain & headache.

aft clearing my things in ofc, i make my way back hm.
wen to buy a ankle support and lunch back.

then spend the day at hm. lunch was not filling, so had cup noodles to make it full.
think lunch was filling dat i fall asleep. had a nap and woke up 2 hrs ltr.

today is a coolie day. been clearing things from data centre.
boxes of manuals/cables are chucked.
walking up & down to drop the things.

actually not feeling to go lunch with the usual gang, but i try not to make it so dat i'm not anti-social.
so, wen to mt them for lunch. over the lunch, bro ak ask to go billiard after work.
i told him i'm fine with any place, jus cfm the place.
so in the end, we wen to somewhere near to his hse for a couple hours of game.

aft dat, i wen back to the carpark near hm to start bro's car engine. aft started, i listen to the usual LUSH 99.5 FM and pick up the street directory to see how to drive to ofc.
think i know how to drive there. so will drive to somewhr near ofc on sat. aft dat, wen back hm for dinner (which is like supper)

saw a letter from singapore indoor stadium. think its a membership dat i applied during Fish Leong concert last year.

But the name of the card has typo errors. Its looks like a girl's name. I was thinking, since when did my house got another girl.

weird feelings

2008-04-17T11:30:00.000+08:00

i am drinking hoegaarden while writing this blog entry

been thinking alot for the past few days.
things to do at work, wat to do in future, whether to go overseas in may, and many many things.
still i do not know wat to do, think i am indecisive at things.

dat moody feeling is back in again. think i acting funny nowadays.
trying to act solo at times and dun care for things.

even like now, i'm connected to msn but i set as offline
think i dun feel like toking, dats y.

anyway this blog entry will be jus my feelings of today.

monday - indecisive

buddy derline was back frm her leave. its been awhile since she's back in ofc
she got me a souvenir from hkg, a lighter of number 8 cue ball.
thanks for the souvenir. it adds on to my lighter collection.

today been a whole day of meeting. morning had a dept meeting, with 2 other colleagues joining our team. we had lunch at japanese food at IP, compliment from my boss as a welcome lunch for the 2 colleagues. then at 3pm, had another meeting with our head office folks, discussing on the feedback for a product, which lasts to 6pm.

i tot of leaving ofc early today, so didn't stay too late. left ard 6.30pm wit zc.
on the way to mrt, zc asks if i wanted to go overseas during May period. since he had applied leave the same period as mine. i was still thinking whether to go or not.

anyway, the feeling of being alone is coming to me lately. dats y i dun haf a answer for the trip.
intially tot of jus getting the leave and disappear for the week, w/o answering any phone calls from work or frens, since my bday falls on dat wk. even tot of changing my looks oso, e.g getting a new hair color.

but all those are things dat r floating in my mind, and has not materialise. even i had the tot of not going for my buddy bday dat time. jus tot of passing her gift to someone, and help mi pass to her. dats my initial thoughts though, which is not the same in reality.

but maybe i will get the hair color done for my bday, so dat i will start afresh, looking new.
so i'm still thinking whether i shld go or not. anyway few issues wit gng the trip.

1) $$$. been running low in dat, since i've spend quite a sum for the past 1 mth.
2) place to go. dun really feel like going out for a trip. even if i wan to go, i wish to jus go alone. although the price will be ex for 1 pax.

i guess i'm oso a indecisive person who takes a veri long time to make a decision.

late entry for sat
