The weather has kinda improved and i'm feeling so lazy since med and i have stopped waitering.

I'm starting to like jason mraz's songs and i can't wait to go KTV. Its been quite a while.

After work, we headed down to buy more ingredients for our salad. And we came home to make our salad. This time, we did a better job. Serving was just nice and it tasted nicer. Haha.. Gossip girl after that.

Saturday, 27th june 2009
Moos had piano in the morning and she wasn't feeling well. She hasn't since a few days. DIDN'T DRINK WATER!! TOO MUCH FRIED FOOD!! haha.. But she immediately felt better after eating 2 panadol-flu pills. It often didn't work for me. So anywayz, she went out w ee gongs after piano. And then i went off to work from 6pm-10pm at GV great world city. After my shift, i went down to PS to meet moos and then we came home to watch gossip girl.

Sunday, 28th june 2009
Attended the mass at St Mary's. I hope there will be more to come. We will be going back there more often.. i know... definitely..

Work at 2pm-6pm at GV great world city. Rushed back to pick up moos and then went off to kel's place for BBQ. The food wasn't too bad. And it was a good catch up session as well as jon to intro his new gf to us and get to know us too. I see jon almost everyday at work haha.. we would often talk and slack at one corner. And then moos and i would lunch w jon till our shift ends. haha.. Lunch was always a feast at Geek Terminal.

After dinner, we went up to kel's house to play PS3 and PC (prototype) really cool game which tempted me to get a new comp. haha.. I just sent my graphics card for repair and it should be back in a few weeks. I hope it will be ok. And so i've decided not to get a new comp yet.. Perhaps not this year.. Possibly next year.

Monday, 29th june 2009
Last day of work!! Woohoo. Med, jon and i kena retrenched. Haha.. I'm sure med has got lots to say about this. Today was the most fun day at work since we started there. Working in polo Ts and jeans. Serving customers without uniforms! ha.. Med and i returned our uniforms except for 1 shirt. Looks like its ours alr. haha..

The place had to be packed because they were closing down and shifting the stuffs all to their new place at changi. So good luck to them.

Med, jon and i joined mum and sam for dinner. Bak Kut Teh... at jalan besar. Near Ah boy shop haha.. Speaking of which, i have to get 2 visors and 1 full face helmet. So its time to go bike shopping JJ.. stop lazing ard!!! haha..

Anyway, jon's parents are setting up a bee hoon store at suntec city's terrace fountain food court.. They will be opening on the 1st of july. Do support him if you're at suntec..

Rushed home for Transformers 1. So we wont be blur for tmr's movie.. haha..

Tuesday, 30th june 2009
Med and i went to watch Transformers 2 which was an excellent movie. Super! Better than part 1. But part 1 was still good. Ha..Went for dinner at seah im food centre after that and then to her home to watch tv and beat pappy! haha. pappy just bathed and her fur looks really nice (i have to admit). And she looked quite poor thing when med's dad was cutting her nails. haha oh well. I'd prob send my dog for grooming instead.

When i reached home, i saw 3 men outside of my estate. i think they were looking for durians (there are many durian trees at the back of my estate). At first i was quite angry as they seemed to be loitering there and i didn't feel safe. I almost called the neighbourhood police post but gave it a second thought and i ended up not calling. Haha... Its strange the SAF didn't want anyone to go into the forest and so they constructed a fence BUT they just left it as that.. The police stopped patroling and so did the army. Contradicting.

durian at jurong west st 52

2009-05-04T01:41:00.002+08:00

Jurong West St 52

I went there once to buy pirated PC games when i was still in Sec sch and once for Chinese new year when my cousins were still living there. And this time, we went there for durians! haha..

Not exactly...

We had dinner first before walking ard.. Porriage with chee chong fun and yam cake... Never had them before but it was nice. Instead of black sauce, they put some red sauce which still tasted nice. We weren't so full until med's mum bought 6 packets of durians.. Sheesh!! We went back to med's place and tried the diff prices of durians. $1, $5 and $20. All were good... But still i'd prefer geylang's.

While walking, we chance upon a shoe shop and i finally bought my lousy slippers which would be used as spare whenever it rains and i'm wearing shoes. The old one broke after 3 years. But its ok, i got it at a super cheap price (below $5). So now i got a slightly more expensive pair at $5.90. haaa.. Good!

So anywayz, i bought 3 durians for $20 and 2 big mangos. The mangos are really sweet. Already QC-ed when med's mum let us try..

Went home for movies after that...

2009-04-05T01:24:00.003+08:00

It wasn't until recently that i realised it. It was hard to accept it. But i had to after seeing it for the past 1 year. It never occurred to me how someone could change so much. To become so selfish, losing moral values and meaning in life. Priorities and focus are still wrong ever since then. They were wrong then, they are wrong now. Sometimes i wonder if it is worth it. Perhaps it doesn't pay to be kind. I try not to be affected but i've always been. Every single day. The thought of it disgusts me and i am utterly disappointed. You've made me see how someone can change so much. Perhaps i thought wrongly of you and this is your native state. Then blame me. I'll hang on till the day i've returned ur kindness and when that day comes, i'll be a stranger unless a miracle happens. Miracles do happen but for now, i'll stick to it.

It was an evening filled with laughter as med and i went out w her fav group for dinner. We went to Pariis international buffet at marina square which i felt could have been better. Somehow, they had shifted from taka; that was the place where i had brought jon, don and kel for lunch on my 21st birthday.

The price was worth for the type of food available. But the variety wasn't a lot. But anyway, the little girl wanted to eat her raw oyster and salmon thats why we went there. The thought of eating salmon really makes me wanna vomit now, because the previous time we had raw salmon, i ate so much of it. But its healthy! its a trade off i guess.

Speaking of trade off, the economy is really getting bad. I'm gonna be hit when i graduate too. Judging from the number of graduates from my course during my year, it may be hard to find a job. Theres damn too many china students around. They really should cut down and provide the locals with jobs first. Can't figure out what the government is thinking. The selection pressure is biased i would say. Only the toughest locals will survive. So, do or die. Nobody will pick u up. Either you do your best and get somewhere, or you do good and dont get anywhere. Ur choice....

And it really starts off with the upbringing process just like what darling and i had talked about. Many dont realise that their character and actions now, depends a lot on how they were brought up. The environment they grew up in. I've said that upteem times to darling and now she finally agrees with me (not that she disagreed).

Its a pity for some but a blessing in disguise for others.

So i will stop here and perhaps give a lecture another day.

i love you darling!

2009-03-24T12:38:00.006+08:00

Its amazing how despicable can some people get. It is all about insensitivity? or is it a lesson that hasn't been taught? I always thought such things were built in. Having the right conscious. It didn't seem to hit hard when the situation had occured. Taking forgranted just because we were always there? It's surprising how selfish can one get. Definitely not to the opposite sex. It isn't just the anything sort. But there are decisions that were preferred but was too afraid to say. The cover of the book is nice. But the contents are... not so nice...The way the book is written, i cannot agree with it at all. Too many "cheats" and there seems to be a lost of integrity. Not to anyone but to the author. There were no feelings of hatred or sadness. Only anger and unjust.

Happy 20th month darling!

21st march 2009

We went to Ubi driving centre for darling's circuit lesson. So damn far. What is the instructor thinking? The place was damn deserted too. Where the hell was the bus stop man. But anyway, we took 2 buses to vivocity and had dinner there where we saw 1 couple in front of us. They didn't talk at all and both had black faces. The bill came and the guy wanted to pay but the lady took out the money first. And then it was silent all the way. We saw 3 guys who looked like japanese and a group of SP students chatting away. THe table beside us ordered coke lemon! sheesh do u know how much they sell it there? i can make my own and sell u half the price! The first impression at HK gary kim was good. But then i started to think, they could do better at a coffee shop. At least they will reach out to the neighbourhoods too. Besides, i bet their cost price is pretty low. And the staff all seem like cheap labour. All sorts of ppl there. Even the manager wasn't up to standard. At a restaurant?!! sheesh!! we had to pay service charge for a manager who spoke softer than the noise of the crowd? hmm i may reconsider going back there only because the food is quite nice. Quite..

Still i miss manhantan's seafood platter for 2 with added moo moo. But i always have to end up eating most of the food because my food buddy (med) is a small eater. Time for a upgrade darling!

We then headed home to watch starsky and hutch. Not too bad. But we were so damn tired after that. must be the journey to eunos.

Btw macho is my future golden retriever's name.. not the white tiger on facebook..

Valentines day (140209)

Mcgriddles in the morning.

My plans were almost screwed because the deserted clementi Kbox was fully booked. But thanks to med and shihui, we managed to book a place elsewhere.

It was fun singing w the little girl as there was nothign to be shy about. Just throwing my screechy voice all over. Its been a long time since i last sang like that. I kinda lost the techniques since choir days but Its time to get it back!!

We then headed to town and had dinner at the mongolian bbq restaurant. The standard was just bad. Only that the salmon was good and the dessert was really nice. The mongolian BBQ was so so only. Come to think of it, i think the zheng fa steamboat was a better deal and a lot nicer too. Even the then mongolian restaurant (now called the family restaurant at taka) that i brought the guys to, during my birthday was a lot nicer. Nevertheless, we filled our stomachs!! hahaa..

The little girl was satisfied with the fondue, silver fish and her ice cream. The rest didn't excite her much. hahaa..

We then headed back for an early rest... hahaa.. nah.

There was part 2. We headed down to telok blangah hill top park and then to the barrage on my bike. I was actually expecting a windy night, only to realise when we got to these places, it was still. STill like a rock. No wind. And it was so damn humid! What the hell man. Also, the piece of grass patch at the barrage was closed off due to newly laid grass. So lucky, else my initial plan to fly a kite there would have been totally screwed. Blessing in disguise. haha..

Robot city building in progress

Caught her dozing off on valentine's day

The light in my room

Flyer...

The ride home was a sleepy one for darling as she was dozing off behind me. Sheesh!

The first question you're gonna ask me is what did i get for med right?
In fact i got her something valuable. Something more valuable than gold or diamonds. Something money can't buy. Something which will stay in her memory. Something which no one else can buy for her. Something which is valuable to both her and i.

There you go; i gave her my time.

Study break is in 1 weeks time. And dad's birthday!

Happy 24th

2009-02-12T20:13:00.012+08:00

Another year has passed.

As the years pass, celebrating birthdays have become meaningless. One day we'll all wish we never remembered our birthdays because we've all grown old.

Whats there to celebrate when im old? to celebrate that im old? Unless you're really old like dad who is above 60 or maybe 70, 80 or 100.

Not only do you start to find it meaningless, people ard you start to feel meaningless too. The meaning of a birthday celebration fades away as years go by and when you ask yourself why do you celebrate your friend's birthday?

"To celebrate lo"

So is it to celebrate that XX years ago you were born? If that is so, then parents will come into the picture.

As for dad, he brought me out for a simple meal. BBQ stingray, chicken wings, veg. But i was happy he didn't forget my birthday (because he forgot valentine's day). And on that day i was really in low spirits but nevertheless, seeing me down, he tried to liven up the mood by joking. It was just a simple act, but i was truly touched.

As for friends, i had a series of wishings one after another from jon, kel, jj, don, mun and xue ling.
The guys and i went out for settlers, dinner and mahjong. The settlers was fun. As always. Dinner wasnt good because we ended up at another restaurant. Mahjong was not too bad. I'm quite crippled in terms of blogging because my phone's cam is kinda spoilt.

Settlers!

Med's fav game

Kel and don

Darling and i

Anyway, the guys had gotten me a shirt which i think, seems to be the latest jap fashion? or something like that. Also, a belt which had a huge buckle. Hmm.. not sure when i'll use it though. The shirt, prob sometime soon. PS - 1 of the buttons fell off alr. @#%@!$ Sheesh!!!!

Thanks anyway for celebrating and the presents too!

No, i havent forgotten about the little girl. Haha.. she came over in the night to deliver my cake and present which i really like a lot.

My present and cake

And then she had to read her story book after that cause i had a quiz the next day.

2009-02-09T23:05:00.003+08:00

In the midst of studying my biochem, which has requires 3 pre-requisite modules, none of which we've met. So now im struggling w all the terms and concepts and mechanisms. 1 concept leads to another and another to another. This is crazy...

Something sparked me to go back to listen to wang li hong's music and for the first time, i watched his live performances on youtube. All i've gotta say is he is SUPERB man.. A real born musician. Sheesh.. So here you go, some of his performances which i really like. And no he's not gay. He's just mastered the skill of shifting his voice from falseto to normal, down to up and back down; something which many cant do and do well (except justin timberlake). accuracy on the notes too.. sheesh..And this is what i call skill....

Effortless and spiritual...

Anyway, i've got lots to back date about our outing during our car rental days.. havent gotten the tiem to upload the pics and blog about it. And also my birthday celebration yesterday..

Thanks for the belt and shirt guys!!. And the dinner too!

we shall go steamboat some other day.. hahaa..

Sentosa

2008-12-20T00:48:00.002+08:00

Sentosa today with the little girl.. and indeed i realised she is a little girl..

We arrived at sentosa ard 330pm and the sun was gone man haha.. it was my first time reaching there so late and staying there till night came.

I would usually go sentosa for the sun because the sand is so rough, it makes u injury prone..

nevertheless, it was my first time to sentosa w med and i had fun!

Went down to the water to swim a little, my eyes are so allergic to sea water i didnt put my face into the water.. just my hair. swam ard a while before coming back to play with sand making rubbish out of sand.. haha..

Rain came and we decided to leave.. It took so long for a person to bathe. simply because the water pressure was damn weak.. even weaker than the tap's.. crazy man.. i took almost 15 mins to bathe. minus changing and waiting time. at first i thought those boys were really slow. and then i realised its cause of the water pressure..

Luckily, the bathing time lasted the same time as the rain. By the time we came out of the toilet, the rain had stopped.. so we headed down to the merlion..the scenery was good but i think it wasn't worth the money.. perhaps once in a life time is a good experience.. haha..

Our next stop supposedly was musical fountain. And we asked one of the staffs where it was, he said at the beach station. When we found the place, eventually, we were told it was nothing like the musical fountain and we had to pay an admission fee of $8. Crazy ah!!..

So we headed back to singapore to fill the little girl's stomach..

Seah im.. i love the murtabak.. shiok man hahaa... oh and the unforgettable hokkien mee. This time we tried the teochew fish sliced soup which filled us up man..

It was still early so we decided to sit down at med's void deck for a while. It was unexpected that we were given 2 free tickets to watch "The adventures of two small boys"

It was a damn interactive movie such that the actors and actresses could see us!! And one of the actresses even asked us if we were tua peh kong.. what kind of question is that man...

So anyway, we left before the movie ended la..

Hahaa.. i saw the guy's van parked outside of my estate... hahaa..

1MS outing

2008-12-19T02:01:00.005+08:00

Chris is back in singapore again..

The last time he pissed all of us off by pestering us to go out w him when all of us were busy studying.

This time he was back alone.. it was sad that edna left him because of the same reason.. the same prob they always had.. ANOTHER GUY...

It was tough for them though.. both in the same country but in different states.. too far apart i guess...

And we were talking about how he sacrificed his leave and took a huge risk involving our officer to go to Aus to look for edna.. and now it has all gone to waste.. Such a pity.. but we can't say that at that time he shouldn't have gone.. he did the right thing..

We went down to Vivocity and had Earl Swensens for dinner.. the food was good.. but damn too pricey.. bad place to go (in my opinion). And then we headed down to Starbucks Coffee to chat..

Raymond is struggling in NTU's computer science.. he says he has probs even getting an 2nd class upper. His course must be really tough.. just like jj's...oh and i saw his ESSO/Mobil citibank card... im gonna get that man..

Ang is, as usual, talkative.. always going on and on and on.. non-stop even when i've drifted.. haha.. its time we stop calling him by his surname btw..

Clarence... still the same old him... exaggerating and always talking rubbish (untrue matters).

Leland.. still bothered about his car.. wants to go fast fast fast.. hahaa..

Again, everyone talked about how wasted i was that night at mambo.. how i vomitted on the dance floor and had them carry me back all the way to sqn.. thats the first and last time i'll ever get so drunk..

I wonder when will we ever stop talking about past things which has happened.. we talk about the same things year after year.. but they are funny memories.. spent quite a bit of time laughing in fact..

Just before i left for Vivocity to meet chris and gang, i happen to meet with the guy who parks at my neighbour's parking lot. Each unit is entitled 1 parking lot here.. and any unit who has more than 1 car has to park at the visitor lot.. he was obviously trespassing. It wouldn't have been that bad if he had parked at one of the visitor lots. BUT... he had to park at my neighbour's lot. So it pissed me off so much. I hate to see people getting taken advantage of..

So i walked up to my bike and to my surprise, he was standing there packing his van..

"Do you know u're not allowed to park here? moreover this is my neighbour's lot and u're trespassing. At least if u had parked at the visitor lot it wouldn't be so bad."

He gave me the blur look and looked at me from head to toe..

"But i always park here and ok what."

"No, this is my neighbour's lot. By right u're not allowed to even come in here and park"

"ok ok.. where visitor lot"

"There"

"ok i shift now"

Angrily, i sat on my bike and rode off...

Previously he came with his wife or colleague (i think) and she too parked at my neighbour's lot.. i was so pissed i almost shouted at them from my apartment down to the car park. But dad waved at them! sheesh... was he being friendly? had he not been there, i would have given them a piece of my mind. And u must be wondering why i got so pissed. Yea coming in park only what so what.. thats not only it in fact!

They're drivers. They work for a transport company and this company has their mini-vans parked at a slope beside my estate. So these people came, parked, hopped onto their work vehicles and drove off for a few hours before coming back to pick their vehicle up..

Hello! why not i put my things in your house in the evening and then midnight come collect and then go off..well, that was what they did.. and yes, my neighbours had to park else where. 1 of them parked at a visitor lot and the other at the ambulance lot.. eh.. not logical la..

2008-12-17T02:21:00.003+08:00

Med had to go to sch in the afternoon to register for her module. I decided to go swimming but was quite fed up w my graphics card and jj called to ask me if i wanna go down to sim lim. So i did 20 laps and then headed down to sim lim to meet him. jj almost got cheated by some small boy. Luckily, we found a shop which sold the power pack and graphics card he wanted at a cheaper price. So he saved $40 by not buying from the small boy. Boys these days... tsk tsk...

My old computer only fits AGP cards. ANd i hate ATI man the driver has some prob and its all over the net. That was how my comp had probs previously when it blacked out and i had to get a normal card just to sustain sch's demand. So anywayz, i managed to get a relatively high spec card which could support most games for now.. I realised my old computer had a really powerful power pack which i needed now.. hahaa.. it isn't all bad to keep old things. hahaa..

i had to dismantle the entire CPU and then screwed back every part back on to change out the power pack. And i'm glad it worked haha.. initially i heard a really loud explosive sound when i turned on the computer. So anywayz, the little girl sat beside me and watched me fix up the comp.. hahaa.. i bet she was clueless about everything.. but its ok.. i'll teach u someday..

2008-12-15T02:30:00.003+08:00

Med and i started working on our 2 swans and heart. It took long that i had expected man.. we spent a total of 4 hours working on it. It was really tough but it was worth it..

The puzzle has taught us to be patient and definitely told us that it takes at least 2 to work in a relationship. of course both hands must clap in synchrony and outside help would decrease the puzzle making time. It is so similar to a relationship.

Patience is much needed especially during quarrels. Understanding comes into play definitely and both must think alike or at least along the same line to be psychologically synchronised. Friends and family can play a role. But it isn't necessary because the relationship is between the 2.

We persevered despite the difficulty and eventually completed it.

time for dad

2008-12-14T02:05:00.002+08:00

Dad didn't go out today and so i decided to stay at home to accompany him watch tv, lunch and dinner..

We went out for dinner at teck whye. We had claypot fish head which really sucked man. The ingredients wasn't as much as previously, and the gravy seemed like it was pre-cooked. Dad also said it isn't as nice as before anymore.

And then we walked ard teck whye for a while before going back home.

Its been so long since i ate out w dad.. Hope he'll enjoy himself on christmas day...

Steamboat

2008-12-13T01:14:00.004+08:00

Last min plans had to change.. My sister had an open house at her tuition centre and needed people to help.. so med and i went over to help her.. So many children and boys boys boys... mischevious as usual. I tried teaching 1 of them addition.. but he didn't really catch what i was saying.. was i too chim? or is he not old enough?

he was pulling me everywhere telling me this telling me that. asking me to teach him this, teach him that. And then there was this boy who was my sis's staff's son.. Naughty like hell. Almost whacked him. damn selfish. F***ing selfish. really wanted to knock him out man. i couldn't understand why my sis said he's cute. I cannot agree with it..

I was supposed to do the science side but i didn't know what to say to the parents. n those sci stuffs were so chemistry and physics.. i only had 1 mini-microscope to play w which couldn't even go further that 4X magnification. Not sure whats the occular magnification though. and the slides were all pre-prepared. So i ended up making sure none of the equipment got stolen or were broken by those monkeys..

Besides that i helped to take care of the movie screening room too.

Med was in charge of making bookmarks.. haha.. so funny.. the alphabets were made of macoroni... i wonder if it will biodegrade.. haha..

The macoroni is still intact hahaa.. Anyway, the little girl made these 2 for me.. thanks darling!

Dinner was at kel's house. We had steamboat. One day we should really go down to xian de lai for steam boat. Nevertheless, it was not too bad that night. And then headed down to PS to watch the day earth stood stil. Was damn draggy and the ending was bad.. sheesh i would give a 2/5. Oh yes don, please let me know how much are the tix when u get back from overseas. I think all of us forgot to pay u back. hahaa..

mambo

2008-12-10T04:44:00.002+08:00

mambo night...

I was expecting recruits and botaks to appear but it seemed that there weren't many..

Its been so long since the last time i went.. and it was another night of fun at mambo jambo.. It never fails to bore me...

We bought 2 jugs during 1 for 1 and shared amongst the 3 of us. don, kel and i... We kinda drank too fast i think.... but the alcohol effects were containable.. haha.. used to it huh...

We stayed till around 330 and went off for prata opposite.. it was hilarious and i was laughing off at the shop becuase when kel asked for plain prata, the guy said "no plain prata, only egg and cheese prata" i started laughing like mad... and he stared at me.. but stil i couldn't stop laughing.. drink prices were hiked.. they knew we were coming...

I'll bring u there one day darling.. then u'll know and understand what i've been telling u.. mambo jambo ain't like other clubs where dirty dancing is involved..

zoo

2008-12-09T02:24:00.020+08:00

The first time we went to the zoo, the little girl lost all the pictures..

But, it was a blessing in disguise..

This time we went to the Zoo and we saw more than the first time.. And the weather was just nice.. not hot.. neither was it rainy... the pictures we took were a lot better than the previous one...

So anyway, i met a lot of friends at the Zoo by just saying "BOO!" to the little girl.. and then she went like "ti ti, ger ger, Boo boo" and that became the 3 white tigers' names...

And that was how i met so many friends there.. there was popo, sey sey, ny ny, boon boon, phant phant, ele, bra bra, raffe raffe, tah tah, go go, roo roo, etc....

The journey to Zoo..

On the bus, in front of us was an indian guy who was taking pictures of the scenery that went past us as the bus travelled along mandai road.. It felt like he is a terrorist.. taking pictures of jungles? huh??!!

We managed to take with the baby elephant's butt!

the giant seal

Check out the otter.. they stink like hell.. it says they release anal secretions to mark their territory..

tapir!

thats the biggest white tiger amongst the 3..strong feet..

the warthog sure looks ugly.. and it was kneeling on its 2 front legs most of the time even when it was climbing up the slope!!

i think these are lambs..

check out the big guy balance on a log man..

Outside 1 of the toilets..

there was a small boy who was outside making an animal noise and i thought there was an animal in the toilet hidding behind the bushes only to find out it was him! haha

ah meng!! med was so sad he has passed away..

he was peeping at the female horse next door haha..

he was peeping at this horse.. so white..

there she is with the horse...

i think i subconsciously like stripes..

Nono's butt! can u believe it?

We ended our visit to the Zoo with Ben and Jerry's..

We made our way back to Lot 1 which has changed so much.. It is now an eating centre! haha.. anywayz, we went to the arcade and the aunty there pissed me off... damn rude.. we also played some games at the pasar malam opposite. Then we went over to Gain city to check out the LCD tvs... still quite ex for me huh.. haha.. finally, we made our way to med's place and had dinner opposite her house. Beef hor fun.. and it tasted so good.. definitely gonna go back there to have more of it.. hahaa..

I certainly enjoyed my day and i hope u have had fun..

2nd 21.1km

2008-12-07T01:52:00.004+08:00

My 2nd 21.1km marathon run.

I reached suntec, parked and walked out of the carpark at 630 which was the starting time.. i took 30 mins to walk to the start point and only started at 7am. So i had to time myself to get an accurate timing. I managed to finish the run in 3 hours 11 mins. 20 mins improvement from previous run. The reason was obvious; i had more training than the previous run. With the help of med, i ran and swam a lot before the run. But i felt it wasn't enough to condition my muscles. However, it did help somehow, i didn't feel crampy neither was i suffering during the run because i had tights on except that towards the end my tighs started becoming tight.

Because i started late i started running at the tail of the masses. And i was so determined to get back into the crowd. But the road seemed endless. And i really really think they measured the distance wrongly.

Thats me! haha

ivy's wedding

2008-12-06T02:36:00.000+08:00

This is the 4th family wedding i've attended this year..

Ivy's wedding was an eye opener. Because it was a combined chinese and malay wedding. Guests were chinese, indian, malay, europeans and peranakans.

There were so many performances which included the malay drum beating thing. Lion dance, chinese tea ceremony, some blessing thing. Even the dresses that my cousin wore were both traditional AND modern.

A funny thing was that my cousin-in-law, who is the malay, said that his malay sucked bad which he admitted to everyone. haha.. it was hilarious when he said it over the microphone. Ivy wore a total of 4 dresses. The first which costs about $4k. 1 of the dresses looked as if it was coated with gold. Sparkling!! hahaa..

She also bought him a rolex watch worth about $29k. Woohoo.. Massive.. Didnt know she spends in thousands. But anyway, the guy bought something back in return which i cant remember, worth $17k.

There were a total of 2 days. The first was the solemnisation followed by dancing and performances lasting for the whole day. And the food was impressive. They never ran out. The staff just kept refilling again and again. People just kept coming in to eat and go off. Madness..

The 2nd day was at velvet underground. Private party from 6pm till 1030pm. And guess what it costs them $25k just to book that place for that tiny bit of time. woohoo!!!
Anywayz, headed down to don's place for mahjong instead. Played a little cause there were too many ppl playing so we had to take turns.. but it wasn't too bad.

So here are some of ivy's wedding's pictures...

Thats ivy and her husband Zul

haha i caught dad giving them his blessings...

And sis too..

So anyway, all of the dresses and the events were planned by ivy and her husband's friends. They had their own logo designed, shot glasses which were designed w their logo and even a paper bag with their logo. Seems like a really well planned wedding.

I didn't give them their blessings like what dad and sis did using some black stuffs and egg and blah blah.. but they definitely have my blessings.

Ivy's a really nice person and i would like to wish her a happy marriage for many years to come. i cant wait to see her future peranakan children. hahaa..

exams

2008-11-21T23:21:00.002+08:00

I'm suddenly feeling so bored.. so im here to blog.. haven't been blogging for the past century.. but its okay, im back blogging. And i'll be back every decade now instead.

It was sweet of the little girl to come down and deliver sandwiches in the middle of the night during my exam period. I am touched seriously. Not v often that she does such things. Good improvement.. haha..

This paper consists of 3 questions and a total of 20 marks.

Answer ALL questions.

1. Label parts A, B, C and D (8 marks)

A - Cheese

B - Salmon tuna

C - Wholemeal bread

D - Lettuce

2. What is this food called? (2 marks)

Salmon tuna cheese sandwich

3. What are your feelings when this food was presented to you? (10 marks)

I was touched to see the midnight supper delivery. I wasn't hungry but it was thoughtful. But i think it shouldn't be delivered at night cause it can dangerous. Perhaps it would be better if it were day delivery. Also, i felt surprised when i saw this cause i didn't think it would really happen. I wanna thank you for making this special sandwich for me.

So lets just enjoy this song by NSYNC! One of the spiritual songs i sing during exams ha!!

Goodbye queenstown stalker...

pissed

2008-10-16T22:08:00.005+08:00

Art of academic writing.

Nonsense i say... academic writing my ass... this module is absolutely rubbish!!!!

Having arts lecturers teaching us? Its driving me pissed as i attend more lectures. Wake up A/Ps and Profs!!! I'm a science student and you're marking my science report which emphasises on results... and to think you gave someone w 86% plagarism A+... sheesh!!! Eh, why not i copy chunks of properly formed english from the internet and paste it into my report and give you 100% plagarism and u give me A+ too?

It isnt just me who thinks its damn stupid, EVERYONE thinks so too. So here i am in the midst of doing the results section and im so confused with perfecting the english or the content.. to perfect both is just driving me crazy. We're just not arts students la..!! The damn lecturer just can't think deep enough to understand our reports how can they be fit to mark our papers? i dont understand. I'm doing an avg B+ as of now and i think its rubbish. EVen if i get an A or A+, rubbish, i say!! Simply because THIS ISN'T HOW WE WRITE SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS!! man im so damn pissed. Imagine you're an arts student and your papers are marked by engineers. How pissed would u be?

To add to all these nonsense, i have group mates who dont think along the same line as me and i've seen so many probs they dont.. already no time, they complain this complain that when i ask them to do things.... im not aiming for a simple B u pieces of shit.

So if it is the english you want, i shall wash my hands off partly... Let you pieces of shits do the job since you are all more art-writing inclined.

Term break

2008-09-19T02:04:00.001+08:00

Term break is here!!

" sometimes your 6th sense tells u things u dont know. what ppl say to others and not to you. But sometimes it fails you. And we should never go into assumptions. Mum always says a single phrase which i thought would never apply to me. It suddenly struck me. And i thought it does apply to me and probably to you and you! It didnt take me long to realise that at this point in time. But in the past i really didnt have a clue of what it meant. I just wanna laugh at you and you and myself. Right now theres only 2.

Maybe you learnt it from her. It has evolved to become somewhat a copy of her. You dont realise. So go on and paint a good and nice picture. We all know its never perfect. And at the rate that u're deceiving yourself, you will be cheated someday. So the only thing i should say to you is. Good luck!

For some, it gets hard to not think far. Not that they dont. They cant. I will always remember joel whenever i think of forsight. He's the greatest guy i've met so far in terms of dealing with problems. I always have problems catching up w him. This situation may also apply to others.
Darling's mum is so busybody.

Kinda miss mambo. Saw leo's msn nick "Where are all my chiong buddies" i think i shouldnt msg him cause the next time i can go is in dec. Theres no other place better than mambo jambo. Sad to say some people dont know how to enjoy it.

Gotta catch up w work and assignments..."

overly ego

2008-09-15T01:38:00.002+08:00

"Oh yes, i must write this down before i forget. So much of ego. Too much of it. You feel confident. Over-confident. Becoming competitive. Afraid to lose out. Hahaha..! Challenge yourself! why challenge others?! It seems like you have changed. I hope you do change for the better. Just keep wanting to be better than others just like your favourite *****. Competing with everyone ard *** for god knows what reason. Just want to show *** is better. ***** the *****. oh and maybe ***** too. Unreachable goals set. Possible to achieve? You never think about it or the consequences. Sometimes its better not to know too much.

(You not equals to me or med, 100% CI, -x to +x)

Darling is sick. I must have transmitted the virus to her which i had gotten few weeks back. I hope she recovers soon. No chilli, no fried food, no bubble tea, no coffee, no tea, no milo, no holicks for her. You'll recover soon darling! Too much of meat but time well spent during dinner at yuki yuki. I hope you had fun! You were busy making ice creams but dont want to eat them. haha! You think i dont know is it?!!

Haven't gotten anyone to help frederick find ppl to work at fullerton.

Mind blank."

If anyone wants to work at fullerton hotel as a bell boy from 26th to 28th sept, please let me know its $10 per hour and its on shift. I think it'll be fun but might be a little busy during those few days. Good pay though. I cant make it cause sis's getting married, gotta study for quiz and celebrate jon's and don's birthday.

mooncake festival

2008-09-02T15:45:00.001+08:00

"Ahh yes mooncakes, my favourite... maybe i will buy 1 box for dad and 1 box for med's parents. So mooncakes came about during the jap occupation in China when the people wanted to revoke against the japs. They put messages into mooncakes and held lanterns to deliver these mooncakes - according to dad.

Epica is spiritual! It makes me feel like im flying all the time. Seems like i like to fly. Havent been jogging for so long. Hmm.. but its ok, stress is helping me shed fats. Was so hungry just now. Almost had mac for lunch. But had to rush home to do proj. Listening to radio on my handphone is pretty good. Sound system seems pretty good. Or am i just outdated...Feels like a good day to sleep! Wonder if med is ok w her friends already..Strange, dad asked me to go to Muar this Sunday... "

There is no such thing as perfect. We suffer to succeed. Happiness does not come with sufferings unless one looks back. Memories stay. But we take what we;ve learnt along w us. Follow your common sense, you cannot hide yourself behind a fairytale forever and ever. Only by revealing the whole truth that we disclose, the soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever. Forever and ever.

I love you darling

BOO

weird

2008-08-11T23:25:00.003+08:00

I was jogging on friday night after almost 1 week of growing fat...and many thoughts flashed through my mind. All of which were related to me but not to each other.

I was thinking so much i only stopped to walk once. something which i couldnt since last year. The usual Epica and Saosin didnt have a motivational effect anymore. I just have to listen to other old songs again.

So here were my thoughts:

" Once in a while, instability takes over. The phase before stabilization is tough. The progression to stability comes along with sadness, anger but insight. Sometimes, we fail for reasons which cannot be accepted. We are all full of flaws. But such mistakes, unpardonable.

Sometimes, i wish if i run fast enough, i could fly. And it feels real good to sprint. Except, i tire out after a while - i wish would never happen. The cool breeze blowing against me gives me energy to run. OH.. check out that group of muds walking adjacent to each other, refusing to give way. I shall charge in their direction. They must give way else i'll smash right into one of them."

Went to med's friend's 21st birthday at downtown east on sat. The bbq chicken was quite nice. I felt bad being served, by his family members, food while his friends cooked the food. So i went over to join in the bbq too. I too wanted to eat the chicken wings la.. haha.. we didnt have a choice but to take cab home. Super long way home. I wonder when will oil prices drop back to where it was. Petrol was at $1.3 per litre more than a year back. its going crazy man.. And i think, it will continue to rise towards the end of the year.

Had cafe cartel w dad and med yest. Dad loves pork ribs and he too agreed that their ribs were really nice. Seriously enjoyed the meal there. First time bringing dad to a restaurant to eat. Now that i can since i got my 1 and only pay from july. haha..walked ard at bpp for a while and then headed home.

Its a tuesday tmr. morning practical lesson.

Out before sch starts

2008-08-04T22:39:00.005+08:00

31/7
Ended work at the crazy place today.. i'm glad i gave them a good impression. I was asked to go back to work part-time during school days and holidays but i rejected them. Let me re-consider going back there even during holidays. haha.

1/8
Went out today for a swim w med. been a long time since i last swam. And this time i was panting after swimming 4 laps.. damn too long. Anyway, darling was able to self entertain herself while i swam the 20 laps.. haha.. then we went to play at the jacuzzi and the lazy pool and then off we went to JP for lunch. Tried kebab for the first time in my life and then we caught The mummy 3. Nice movie.. As exciting as the previous episodes. i would give 4/5.

After the movie, we came back to my place to complete the dracula game. Which was really damn tough at the end. Felt like as if my brains were spilling out already. We wouldn't have completed it if not for the walkthrough i downloaded haha..

And then we had mac for dinner/supper and then home. So far i've collected 3 out of the 5 olympic cups. I think this is the last week. So darling, prepare for 1 more mac session ah..

2/8
Expo for watson's sale, crazy warehouse sale and food fair.

The crazy warehouse was really crazy. Only becuase they had tons of renoma briefs and socks for sale.. That was really crazy.. nothing much actually.. Watson's sale was just ok. And the food fair was ok too.. ate some food there and we each bought the aluminum foil wrapped chicken.

We tried the prata satay hotdog.. ok only la.. The prata cheese hotdog is damn nice..

Headed down to marina to have popeyes and then walked ard esplanade. Ate so much at popeyes man... Esplanade and marina were really crowded.. because of the NDP preview. hahaa Brings back memories man.. How we worked so hard for NDP 2006. All the cuts and abrasions. Sweat and blood. And guess what. It is our liability. haha what a joke...

Enjoyed my day..

All I Ask Of You (Piano) - Instrumental

2008-07-29T00:11:00.010+08:00

24/7

HAPPY 1ST YEAR ANNIVERSAY!!!

We've come a long way darling. It isnt that long... but not that short either.. i've got more to say to you than just the card.. But i shall tell u in private. Else some unauthorised ppl might just peep in here.. Some bitch who is a busybody..

So anywayz, i had fun today.. went to to Seah In.. the place we had our first meal together... and of course we ate what we had 1 year ago.. haha.. and other food as well.. It was well spent given the limited time available.

Oh side track a bit.. the murtabak was really good.. the oyster omelete was a cheater but it was nice overall.. and the hokkien mee is our personal dish.

We each got each other a watch. Surprisingly. And i do hope you'll wear your watch darling!! I really like the one u got me..

Oh check this out.. its a cake i ordered.. The picture seriously looked damn real.. haha.. check out med's hair.. so shiny!!

26/7

Went down to town for a while to walk ard w darling. Been so long since we went to town for a walk.. Went shopping at far east plaza, taka and wisma and then headed down to botak jones at clementi.. Not bad place to have dinner..

Taken at botak jones. haha.. we were playing ard w our handphones while waiting for the food to come.. food was good man i would give 8/10. Only bad thing is that have to wait for seats and also its at a kopitiam. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the meal. And then the little girl got so excited about the dracula game so we headed over to my place to play for a while before sending her home. We're almost completing it darling!!!

27/7
Stayed at home playing "The Settlers: Rise of an empire" the whole day.
Went out for a 5km jog in the night

28/7
Work was just tiring as usual. But im left w 3 days! and then i can relax a while before school starts again.. So im just gonna enjoy my weekend..

2008-07-13T23:44:00.003+08:00

11th july
Had pizza w med after work. We specially chose to go to bukit timah plaza so that there would be lesser ppl. But to our surprise, it was quite crowded but not full house though. So we got ourselves a place and quickly placed our order as the little girl was starving. Oh and we missed out the pictures..

We were served by a waiter who looked like a statue.. The structure of his face.. Its so static..anywayz, after dinner, we headed off to play pool. Med has improved and can now play a decent game.. not bad...

12th july
Med came over to cook her banana prata which tasted pretty good and then we spent the whole afternoon playing dracula game.. haha shes addicted to the game.

13 july
Had lunch and dinner w dad. And durians for dessert for both meals. Cant believe it. For lunch, our neighbour, who picked up durians at the forest behind our estate, gave us 1 fruit which was pretty good. And then after dinner, dad went to buy 3 more. Not too bad. But i still prefer the ones at Geylang. Haha.. Super..

Work starts tmr again.. cant wait for the next weekend where we're going on an outing to eat and the just enjoy ourselves.. hahaaa...

11.30pm
Just came back from a jog.. Been so long since i last jogged and my knee and tigh muscle felt a strain. The same strain i keep getting these days whenever i jog. I keep tellimg myself im not getting old becuase i love to jog.

almost there

2008-07-07T23:42:00.002+08:00

It is the month of july.. how time flies..

for darling, sch has started already. For me, its less than a month away. Gonna be a crazy year again... before we can get to relax and go overseas and play and enjoy again..

Went out w darling on sat to her sec sch's fun fair. plenty of fun games out to cheat your money and food were like gold... she showed me her old house where she used to live.. and then we headed down to vivocity.. Pet safari.. our fav place. But this time, we saw something really disgusting. 2 dogs from different cages were eating shit.. Man, i'm never gonna buy a dog from pet safari (vivo). Something different was there. A Russian training sailing ship. Really huge.. it was really nice. Not forgetting, we had a really good meal at Hong Kong cafe. Variety of food there was a lot. Too many dishes to choose from. haha.. Another good place to eat is "Dian Xiao Er" the speciality - Duck. Super nice.. haha

Watched "wanted" on Sunday.. Was quite a nice show.. I liked the ending especially... headed down to swee lee w the guys.. and then went down to meet med.. was kinda tired so we headed home early, after dinner.

Dinner was so full.. but maddening too. We went over to bukit batok west ave 6 for dinner. The food there is really good. Almost every stall sells good food. We had zi cha which costed $4.80 per dish.. but the serving was damn little.. crazy man.. anywayz, our last dish took forever to come and i when i insisted that i dont want it anymore, they put the food on the table already.. And then we went over to another food court just behind for oyster omelete and rojak.. super full man.. more to come next weekend! haha...

sentosa

2008-06-25T01:13:00.006+08:00

Went sentosa w Kel, Don, JJ and Jon. Been a long time since we went there. And this time all of

us went back injured except Jon.

JJ's toe was injured

Kelvin's sprained ankle..

Don tried to help kelvin...look at how loving they are...

And i stepped on my own big toe and i cant walk properly and run...Nevertheless, we had fun playing soccer, volleyball and frisbee. The sun was good... Had a good tan.. and then went dinner w kel, don and jon. The you mian at siah in is bad man dont ever try.. It was tasteless...

Its weird u only came to make friends after its over. U never fail to compare. You love his money, car and looks. What comes ard comes ard. Good luck to you.

11th month darling... see u tmr for shopping session and jumping session. Bring ur PT kit along...

back from bkk

2008-06-21T03:03:00.006+08:00

Its been a really long time since i last blogged.. hahaa and im back!

I really had lots of fun at bangkok and hopefully, someday, we could go back there. Everyday was fun fun and more fun... I really enjoyed myself..

Anyway, here are a couple of pictures which we took..

At the airport before departure...

Thats chinatown, lots of road side food stalls there and seafood! The entire street was busy busy busy. Reminded me of geylang, but theirs is chinatown.

Remember seeing this scene on tv? Its everyewhere there!

Floating market. It was really an experience.

This is funny..

She was hugging the water bottle i dont know why...

Thats the skytrain!

Before we know it, we were on our way back...

I love you darling!

We went shopping, sight-seeing, watch ah gua show... watched euro, slacked in the hotel and basically just enjoyed ourselves... We realised there were more male clothes than female and so med didnt buy much stuffs... Before the trip i was telling her that i wont be spending that much cause i dont think the clothes can fit my size, but it happened the other way round. I ended up spending more than her and buying more clothes. I guess the most fun part was at pattaya. The sea, sand and sun.. super.. Next time we'll go to a beach resort darling...

No matter what happens we wont give up. We are one not two. We work together. We think together. We do our parts. It takes two to work. It wont be easy. But we'll do it. I'm sure. I love you.

10th month

2008-05-25T01:19:00.003+08:00

21st may
mambo after a few thousand years.. Managed to get Walter, Leo, Kenny and JC down. All of us did some catching up before the party started.

Walter is coping well after his crisis and is living w his brother now. He's still learning in Qian hu fish farm and i asked him about the fish spa thing.. and it is true!! its only $10 for 30 mins. whereas at the flyer, its $28 for 30mins!! (As advertised on tv).

Leo is becoming more senior at IMH and of course still sane.. In fact more sane as compared to when we were still in 1MS.

Kenny just ORD-ed. He extending his ORD date to go for an overseas exercise at tioman. Heard from him that it was a good experience cause he got to stay at a resort, sun tan everyday and go to the beach bar and drink for free. Those pilots who went w him treated him to beer. Sheesh!! My junior sure enjoyed life!! hahaa... Now he's doing nothing waiting to enroll into SIM.

JC has started sch at NYP doing something like physiotherapy and he says his clasmates are all 'A' level holders.

I realised that everyone has changed so much after they left NS. From being blur to clear, insane to sane, playful to serious. Is that what they always say? from boys to men? hahaa..

22nd may
Swimming w darling at jurong east swimming complex. And we both had a good tanning session and a good work out. Despite the slight rain before swimming, we had a good time. haha..Was damn tired after that.

23rd may
Finally completed watching 4400... the ending was really bad.. too abrupt. and there was no ending to it.. nevertheless, its worth watching...

24th may
It is our 10th month today..

Went out w darling today to watch made of honour and then dinner at fish and co.

I would give the movie 2.5/5. Personally, i felt it wasnt a show worth watching in the theatres. Nice story but.. still i felt its on the ok-ok level..

Headed down to centrepoint's fish and co. which was a v v bad place to go. We ordered the seafood platter for 2 which was really bad.. The prawns werent fresh neither was the mussel. The fish was a little tough. Only the chips was nice. The Calamari was just okay.. Nothing special. If anyone wants to haev a good fish meal, choose manhattan instead. its more worth it.

2008-05-18T00:35:00.003+08:00

The day was spent at home playing wahjong and watching 4400...

Could have been out.. but some guests came over to, supposedly, have dinner w us.. but they were late and ended up having dinner by themselves only...

It was because of them that i decided not to be out.. sheesh!!

Sometimes i really cant understand what goes through the minds of people...Some focuses on sympathy that they almost forgot that blood is thicker than water.. Some focuses on their other half and forget that their family members and friends are more impt... Others just go ahead and do according to what they feel, even if its wrong.. There is no model answer.. but i guess u just have to do whats right... and keep the right priorities in mind.. so you dont lose urself...

I've been listening to class95 and recently the problems that are discussed during "Love Songs" are pretty similar: Guy and girl happy together, breaks up after a few years, girl gets together w another guy and gets married after a few years but realises that she still loves her ex-bf...

Just like what "take that" said, "It only takes a min to fall in love"

Don't let your heart take over you. Use ur head at the right time...

the 4400

2008-05-15T14:01:00.003+08:00

Been watching the 4400 w med and we're left with the final season..

Pretty interesting show.. but draggy.. Some sort like what i wanna do.. but this is using a chemical called promicin to produce abilities in humans i wanna create artificial mutations to produce abilities.. haha.. hmm, i feel the show is quite science related actually..

anywayz, been playing wahjong on viwawa.. if any of u see me on, just add me..

username: gavian

Been listening to metal songs all morning and the sun has been really bright all morning and so im off for a swim.. I just love the pool.. swimming ard under the sun... SHIOK...

its been so long

2008-05-11T23:29:00.004+08:00

Finally, darling's exams are over and we plan to watch lots and lots of movies together not forgetting window shopping and also spending time together....

9th may 2008
We finally went out to town after 4 months.. just the 2 of us. It was great just having her w me. We wanted to buy a couple of things actually.

The little girl, was hungry and so we went to bugis junction's basement where they sold many finger food. We had this korean saussage which was really good and come potato thing which they called french fries really good too. You guys should try the jumbo saussage at the korean stall.

So we started at bugis street. Which was quite a bad choice for me. I was particularly looking for berms and a shirt. But their shirts were all too small for me becuase their biggest size is L. Just too bad for me. As for the berms. Its all straightcut. I cant fit in man.. The little girl was so desperate to buy slippers because her feet was aching badly. We managed to get a pair which we both liked but it took a really long time hahaa.. cause i was choosy. And then we met jj at sim lim square cause he wanted to get a cable to do covert ops in sch.. At the same time, i wanted to get a Wireless PCI adaptor for my dad's comp and med wanted to get XD card for her cam. Laughter was never absent when jj is around. He's always talking nonsense and on that day, he got teased haha... Med and i couldnt stop laughing at him again and again. and as usual he'll say "STOP" haha which made us laugh even more. All of us managed to get what we wanted at a good price. And so we said bye to jj and headed down to orchard where we came across sunshine plaza which the little girl always told me about and i never believed her. On that day, i saw it for myself. haha..i believe you now darling..

Orchard was really crowded and we were so tired of walking. Finally had dinner and then managed to get my shirt which i needed for the next day's wedding dinner. The shops were all closing by the time we started to shop at far east Plaza. I was lucky to be able to get a shirt at that time.

10th may 2008
The little girl came over to my place for her fav 4400 show... and then i had to leave for nick's wedding dinner. Theres gonna be more movie sessions right darling? hahaa

Anywayz, nick called me during my exams and i was quite shocked to hear that he was getting married which my other friends all knew beforehand already. When i reached, i realised i was damn late and it was really embarassing. I always have a crisis just before meeting someone. This time, i wanted to withdraw money for the ang bao money. so i went to teck whye's machine and they were doing some maintenance and the guy rudely told me to try somewhere else. so i went down to another atm and managed to withdraw money. And then i headed down the place which was near city hall. Huge jam all the way from stevens road. Had a hard time squeezing. Nevertheless, it was good seeing those few guys. Though not all, just the 9 of us, but it was good. It was a pity he didnt invite the other 1MS guys. It would have been a really good night. When i found out that he invited only selected few i was surprised he invited me cause i am really not close to him at all. There was an indian driver who made the night filled with laughter, almost fell of the chair laughing. He was so funny. hahaa.. Really have to meet up with 1MS guys and mambo like we used to when we were still serving. Had a little beer (was forced to) and then went down to meet the little girl.

11th may 2008
Spent the whole day cleaning my computer table only... it has been in a mess for 1 sem and jj keeps complaining everytime he comes to my house. "Why your exams over already your room still looks the same" haha.. well its neat now.. and i shall move on to clean my cupboards soon. I opened my keyboard, washed the inside opened my CPU to clean a bit too, cleaned my fan and covered all holes because recently this flying insect has been making nests in any hole they can find in my room. ITs really annoying because their nests are made of soil and when i dig them, sometimes i find their dead young or even eggs. Anywayz, i'm so damn pissed with these insects and i've sealed all holes. No nests for them. Not in my room.

Gaming has stopped for a while and i've been doing other stuffs like cleaning bike, looking for a job and exercising.

A glimpse of mambo.....(my fav mambo song)
Call Me - Spagna

bored

2008-04-30T00:35:00.003+08:00

I've spent the past 2 days playing PS2..

Completing quests on FFXII and training my PES skills...

been feeling so bored man, i really wanna just go out hang out in the streets or something.. Havent been to town in months! Neither have i been going out w med. Its been so long since we went out together just the 2 of us to enjoy ourselves...

I miss mambo really much... there was a period when i was so busy w studying i didnt have the mood to go or didnt have the time either. Now that the holidays are here, prob we could go? right don, kel and darling? haha..

Mambo's been so much fun.. a year ago, i was still serving NS and all i did in camp was to plan which day to go mambo along with the 1MS guys and don. It was a bi weekly thing... and there was endless fun every session. Nothing to think about, just drink get drunk and enjoy ourselves. There was never a session that we had less than 10 jugs. with an avg of each person drinking 1.5 jugs and a mixture of beer here and there... and i can never forget how the 1MS guys carried my heavy bones back to the squadron when i got wasted so badly.. haha.. LEO would go on and on and on about it. he's prob told the whole world already haha... It kinda got irritating then, but now i miss it..

1MS guys: Chris the lazy bum, Raymond the cock eye, Daric the tiger, Zhao yang the thick lips, Leland the rich one, Luke the guiness stout man, JC the young one, LEO the pervert, Xiao ming the pang seh-er, Neo the rnb guy, Ah heng the ah beng, Walter the joker, Alvin the one everyone hates, Jian Xiong the kopitiam uncle, ANG the bubbly fatty, Kenny the drunkard, Dexter the blurest and the rest whom im not close to. Everyone has ORd-ed or are gonna ORD and i can only think of something in common amongst us. We are all 1MS medics and we love mambo.. hahahaa... Not forgetting, i managed to influence them to like mambo, hahaa.. pretty successful...

oh well, we'll meet up someday!

Gonna go sim lim tmr w don and kel to hang out, kel needs to get a monitor and we're gonna accompany him and hang out together too..

2008-04-27T00:45:00.002+08:00

Its been such a long time since i last blogged and so many things happened during the last 2 weeks...

I found out that my choir friend is now renting cars and so far he has only latio, WRX and Altis for rent and he offers slightly lower rates.

I received 2 phone calls. A friend from 1MS called telling me he's getting married on 10th may and he's only 24! damn too young. but i guess he is already earning sufficient. Another call was from another friend from 1MS who is now selling cars. Brand new.

My neighbour's friend hit my bike down, DAMN THAT ASSHOLE, and he is a church friend... how irresponsible. My bike had a few scratches but i wasnt angry because of the scratches, its non-living afterall. But i was angry because of the fact that he drove off after picking my bike up!! How responsible is that??!!! Didnt even dare face me huh? tsk tsk...

And guess what, coincidentally, the signal lights spoilt. But strangely it wasnt because of the hit, but because of some other reasons (wear and tear). But it is too coincidental. Anyway, my bike is ancient, 3 mechanics were looking for the problem.. haha im riding a dinosaur. Thats what they always say...

Anyway, its the holidays for me already!! Good luck to those who still have papers and especially to darling...

Been bumming ard, trying to lose weight to reduce fuel consumption. Oil prices are going too high, we should all lose weight to reduce fuel usage. Swam today, but theres a big hole on my goggles and the water kept sippping through hardly could swim properly.

Its time to start on the swim, jog regime and reduce fuel consumption.

Not forgetting, to complete at least 1 RPG game. FF-XII. Not a bad game. But i think i prefer FF-X-2. And also 1 PC game, World in conflict. Nice game...

2008-04-01T00:31:00.004+08:00

i just came across a band which is similar to the band i like called nightwish.. a combination of opera style into metal music..

Epica - the phantom agony

This week will be over soon and its time for exams!

we dont have time for trivia problems, we need to concentrate on the major ones...

photos!

2008-03-20T02:50:00.010+08:00

Good friday is this friday and i have no lessons tmr. which is a good thing. extended holiday! ha... but gotta finish up my lab reports else next week is hell..

Met the little girl today and took a couple of pics. Its been quite a long time sicne we took pics with the digicam. And since i brought it to sch for a lecture, we made used of it. ha! We turned out pretty yellow though.. reminds me of the simpsons. the v boring tv but funny movie show...

I think thats ultrawomen caught in action...she forgot to wear her beeper.

One of my fav kind of songs. sluggish and draggy kind of music and singing.. calms u down and fills u spiritually... listen to this song darling!

Oh no i realised the dates of the pics are wrong.. we're 2 years behind!! cool stuff!

catch up

2008-03-17T12:30:00.004+08:00

Havent been blogging for quite a long time. Partly due to the quiz which i had which made studying a chore suddenly. Too many things to memorize and the quiz came out simeple without having to study much. Nevertheless, i didnt regret studying so hard.. we never know results of quiz, assignments and projects so i'll just leave it as that.. just gonna work hard for the exams..

Attended another funeral. thats the 3rd funeral which has some sort of relations to me. This time it was my uncle's mother-in-law. Went w dad and we saw a group of men beside the funeral who set up tables. We didnt know what were they doing at first. And then eventually, my aunt told dad that they were illegally masking their identity making use of the funeral. but they would give 30% of their total earnings to the family. so not too bad huh.. But thats not the bad part of this whole funeral thing. I dreamt that my neighbour passed away and that my dad asked me if i was free to go to the funeral or not. After that dream, my dad told me of my uncle's mother-in-law and asked if i was free to go or not.. something similar to what happened the other time when walter's dad passed away..

Thats an average of 1 death in a month for me..

Anyway, the weather hasnt been good as it has been raining almost everyday last week. What i wanna talk about is not about the rain. But rather about drivers who just dont wanna give way or cut queue. THey get anxious and drive recklessly. A couple of times, i was queueing to turn left and cars just came from my right and tried to cut queue and of course i didnt give way cause they should have queued from the back just like everyone else did. And they ended up squeezing me to the left of the lane cause i stayed on the right side of the lane. I was forced to the left and so i carried on forward. To my surprise, a lorry behind took over my place of preventing the car from cutting queue.. haha! What a surprise.. and the car had no choice but to fall back. the space was so tight i could almost kick his front tyre. Considering that i was partly at fault, the driver was at fault too. And worse since he almost banged me because i didnt give way.. Not a v good way of forcing ur way into a lane huh...

Oh, but i dont deny majority of riders ride recklessly. ANyway, talking about cars, i love the brand BMW since young. but it has occured to me that drivers who drive BMW are reckless. Its as if they've got the money to do whatever they like. And i link these ppl to arrogance and ignorance. They always seem to drive like w a "Oh i bang u, i pay lo. Big deal" attitude. It pisses me off whenever i see such drivers on the road. Too many road bullies. Big car not equals to big brains huh..

Hope everyone drives or rides safely. and DON'T be a road bully.

busy week ahead

2008-03-06T22:38:00.004+08:00

Its already thursday...night... another week is almost gone. 1 more class tmr and it'll be the end of this week. Again, info visual lessons are really boring and i still dont know what to study for exams. Prob gonna SU it. Speaking about info visual, im doing project with 3 other members. Don whom is a close friend and 2 girls, 1 from engineering and another from english.

i cant help but keep wondering why the 2 girls keeps giving me rubbish in their portions of the project. Especially the engineer. Gosh! I got a shock when i saw what she wrote about the game Risk. There was nothing about info visual but all about how to play the game and she even included a table of probability of the outcome when u roll the dice. Are all engineers square-minded? I cant help but stereotype them already. Until someone proves me wrong. And i thought engineers at uni level, especially in NTU, were better off..just my luck!!

Its gonna be rush rush rush for the rest of the 5 weeks before exams begin. and then we're gonna rest rest rest.. haa..speed is at 80% now

I remember during last sem the little girl sent me a poem out of nowhere..she always makes me laugh for the things she does. like count with her fingers and still get the answer wrong.. haha...

anyway this is the poem, courtesy of medeline.

SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask, "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Justin timberlake has been my all time fav ever since he was in NSYNC.

Dad's birthday

2008-02-27T23:17:00.002+08:00

It is term break now!..

26/2/07
had 1 3 hrs lesson from 1230-1530. dont know why theres a lesson this week, but its damn weird. But it wasnt a wasted trip, because we all had fun! We were given 7 words to make a story out of it using only those 7 words and actions. The story just turned out crazy la.. haha.. pretty stupid. And then we were given 30 mins to come up with a story based on a fairy tale.. and our story was just sick la haha..and my grp members were just busy laughing at me because i sounded serious while make jokes. whatever i said they'll just laugh.. even if it wasnt a joke to me... i meet weird ppl in sch man..

Anywayz, its dad's birthday today. He's 61 this year. how time flies man. Imagine him 50 when i was only 12!! woh.. haha... i wished i had the mentality of now then. Its only when u grow older that u learn to treasure ur parents and start treating them well. And u suddenly realise that u have to thank them for everything. and no matter what u do, u can never finish thank-ing them. So anywayz, we went to farmart w sis and ashley and had prawns, big head, spinach, fish and chicken wings. food was pretty good.. and then we headed home..

The little girl came over and it was a plan to let dad see her for the first time. I think dad should be ok w her.. haha...

27/2/07
Woke up pretty early. Ate and sat down in front of the comp trying to find for a topic for the bloody essay i have to write. and until now i havent thought of a topic. So unproductive. But luckily, i met up with the little girl and then the guys which made my day.. I hope you'll enjoy the movies darling!! haha.. too bad no malay movies ah... haha... caught up w the guys and chat a bit.. played pool and then went for dinner.

Cant wait for the thailand trip too darling! See you real soon!

Die

2008-02-20T16:00:00.005+08:00

"A" who left the carpark at the same time. "A" whom i gave way to. "A" who was about 40 years old. "A" who rode across a junction. "A" who was travelling at 20-30km/h. "A" who was hit by a car. "A" who flew in front of me. "A" who sat there with an injured arm. "A" who had i not given way would have been in his place.

I went like **** what is this man... how can the driver not see him? gosh... was she dreaming? i stopped behind looking at the final scene, stunned.

Anywayz, term break is coming and its time to catch up and do my assignments and projects.. i hope i'll be able to complete what i planned next week... and of course finish up readings which seems endless...so tired man.. need a break...

Need to sleep man... anywayz, gonna go to vicky's bro's 21st birthday party. And relax a bit... else im gonna go crazy and the little girl will go crazy too..

This is one of the best jap pop bands that i know and they sing really good acapella.
BEen listening to them since i was 17.

23rd Birthday

2008-02-11T21:52:00.000+08:00

It hasnt been a good/bad lunar new year for me....

New year's eve...

Went to chinatown and squeeze squeeze squeeze... haha as usual, indian man tried pushing me.. and the deadly stare shrinked his balls... bought lots of muah chee and cookies and a pomelo for dad.. courtesy of sis's bf..

Day 1...
Went to my grandparent's crematorium w my sis and mum. Drove my mum's car Latio. Poorly maintained.. tsk tsk.. no power and alignment was off.. haha...headed down to my uncle's place in the afternoon and had lunch there, catch up w cousins, etc.. Family gatherings are always the best. Anywayz, i decided to follow my sis to her bf's house and we had a short swim at his place. Its been a long time since i last swam w my sis. and then we sat down and chat about cars. My dad mentioned that he was intending on getting an OPC after new year which would be appropriate for us because we would probably only use it during weekends. It was quite a long chat. We moved on to playing card games w my sis, her bf, bf's bro and mum.

I shall pause here and talk about her bf's bro and mum. They're so "anything-goes" ppl which really makes it ironic because they live at river valley and supposingly they would be rich ppl. But they aren't corny or proud like how rich ppl are.. His mum's really friendly and warm-hearted. And his bro, a really nice man who will help as long as he can. And he's full of rubbish too just like my sis's bf. haha...

Anwayz, we played many rounds of gin rummy. and my sis lost all the rounds. The punishment was to put a hamster into ur shirt. i tried once. and it felt really ticklish haa... it was fun just gathering w them although they're like an avg of 10 years older than me..

We planned to meet up w my dad later that evening at hong bao river to walk that place together. however we didnt make it. I sat in my sis's car while her bf sat in his bro's car w his mum. As we were about to make a right turn, a lancer came charging into us and crashed into our car's front left. I was lucky enough to survive. Had my sis been any faster, the car would have smashed into my door. Anywayz, heres pics of the 2 cars..

haa... my sis's car is on the left and the ah beng's car is on the right... We were hit from the left side of the car and look at what was the dmg done. The beng got out of the car and scolded us "New year le, now i've got no car... This is a straight road u know" haha

We just ignored him and did what had to be done... and he just stood there helpless hahaa.. poor beng.. anywayz, after a while he called his friend saying that someone banged him...what a lie huh...haa...

We managed to escape w bruises....

Day 2...

Stayed at home and did my lab report.. but i spent a lot of time figuring out things.. ended up w nothing done..

Day 3...

Went out w the little girl to vivocity... and i knew beforehand we were going to hog's breath.. but didnt really expect the guys to be there. oh but there was a hint from med. she msged someone wrongly. ha.. so anywayz, i had a good time there... the food was pretty good.. and the guys got me sunglasses.. just what i needed...thanks for the plans darling.

the sunglasses my best friend chose... thanks jj!and also thanks don, kel, vicky and shirley. And especially DARLING!!

Oh and we cut the ice cream together... haha..And after being squeezed by the crowd at chinatown, i had to squeeze the little girl... hahaa..

A pause in my life

2008-02-03T21:03:00.000+08:00

Its the second funeral that i've heard about this year...

the 1st it was my sec sch classmate whom sat beside me in class in sec 1... he met an accident in m'sia while riding.... i didnt go to the wake because i was afraid i would be too affected by it..

I just came back from the 2nd one and its my poly friend's dad... walter was in the same course in poly and we went to the same unit in army (1MS) too... we went through OJT together and endured much shit through our first few months in our unit..and he was one of the jokers in camp and 1 of my mambo khakis.... it was a shocking news as i had initially contacted him asking him out for a gathering.. only to find out that his dad had passed away... i informed the rest and we all arranged to go down today.... I didnt feel that sad till i paid respect to his dad. As i offered joss sticks to his dad, i looked into the photograph... i could feel walter's sadness and i almost teared... he looked so tired and sad... depressed and despite these overwhelming emotions, he overcome them by smiling to us and talking to us as if he wasnt feeling sad at all...we sat down to chat for a while and whenever we mentioned about his dad, he'll seem as though he was gonna cry... but he controlled...we left after a while and he thanked us for coming down... he seemed all sad again..

the night before walter told me of his sad news, i had a dream...

i was a cub and i was taken away on an airplane and as i flew away, i could see my mother tiger (in the dream) fighting off 2 animals 1 of which seemed to me like a polar bear... years later i went back as a human in search for my mother tiger... i met a white rat which brought me to a cathedral.. as i opened the door, i cried immediately and as i walked towards the center of the cathedral, i realised that both my real parents had passed away.. and then i woke up...

i was relieved...

After knowing about walter's dad, i felt as if i had lost my dad too...
and i wish that will never ever happen...

i remember blogging about my dad in my old blog 2 years back when i was still in NS... during that time, he was suffering from a breakdown.. he was seriously depressed... and i could do nothing to help as i was in BMT!! (so screw NS).... anyway, he has been fine then.. and what i said in that blog, i shall try to recall now...

"i hope everything turns out fine and that things will be settled...you're been my pillar of support since young, always guiding me, teaching me right from wrong.. although you've done many wrongs... but i'll still forgive you and treat u as my dad... and you'll always be my dad...i love you dad"

and that is what im gonna say today...

before i end, i would like to dedicate this song to walter's dad...on behalf of walter...

"In Loving Memory" - Alter Bridge

Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly

I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
And ill come home and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

I carry the things that remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
Your were as kind as you could be
And even though you're gone
You still mean the world to me

I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
But now I come home and it's not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I can't believe you're gone

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

I'm glad he set you free from sorrow
I'll still love you more tomorrow
And you will be here with me still

And what you did you did with feeling
And You always found the meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

Stressed

2008-02-01T01:47:00.000+08:00

Stress is a specific response by the body to a stimulus, as fear or pain, that disturbs or interferes with the normal physiological equilibrium of an organism.

To me, it is evil. It grabs me, kidnaps me, and throws me out into the open and i get sucked into the black hole... In scientific terms, it is detrimental to your physical health and mental health.

Often, its fear that bothers me.. Fear of not doing well in studies because i've got a heavy responsibility to shoulder once i graduate.... who else is gonna bring in money but me...But, we cannot devote 100% attention on a single matter/issue/problem/focus for a very long period of time. We'll need breaks in between... i was attending a lecture by the CEO of i-DNA who was telling us how to setup a company and he mentioned that we should take short breaks whenever we study... dont use all our energy to get good grades.. becuase then by the time we start to work, we would have lost all our stamina... I'm not believing this totally, but it makes some sense.

I was working on 2 reports for the past week and it has really drained me so much that i just didnt have the mood to do anything today after handing in the reports. And i am now guilty of not hitting the books and reading what i had planned beforehand.

It is in my nature to be specific in everything i do.. every details matter, every small problem is taken into consideration and every new problem gets me curious and wanting to find out and solve. I've been thinking a lot before i entered uni and i really hope that 1 day i'll be able to synthesis mutagenic cells which can make us smarter or probably w enhanced talents or abilities. Considering that these mutagents aren't harmful as they are now. It would be sold at $1k for 5ml perhaps? and my business will include selling bio-products and materials as well as bio-related services.

But as of now, i would just stick to the plan of becoming a Prof...

It is less than a week to CNY and i am really looking forward to it... cant wait for next week to come!

Trust, compromise, adaptation, acceptance, sacrifice, understanding, consideration, communication, honesty, stability, patience, tolerance, forgiveness.

Study study study...

2008-01-28T00:18:00.000+08:00

2 days of reading, typing and writing but it just isnt enough. i need more time man... More time to read more time to study, more time to absorb.. theres never enough time for all of us and before we know it, its the next week... Tmr is the start of Week 4 of Sem 2! that leaves 9 weeks to go... oh.. how time will pass and soon i'll be typing that its the end of sem 2! ha!!

Time is not on my side. But interest is! and i've gotta use that to fight against time... studying makes me lose energy damn too fast. and its draining me quickly. That explains why i've been deviating from my notes, books and reports once in a while, moving on to PS2 or PC games. Been playing call of duty 4.. its a really good game.... Realistic war game.... Oh and theres stealth involved... exciting huh.. ha...

Anywayz, i've been playing ard w my phone and just realised that it can store msges on the computer using the software that samsung provided. Also, w the ear piece, the other party can hear me really clearly... and theres also this whisper mode. When on, allows u to hear the other party w increased clarity and u can literally whisper really softly. Didnt expect this phone to have so many good uses... or prob all phones have them too but i am just outdated... My previous phone was sony ericsson K750 and its still in good working condition..

I cant wait for Chinese New Year to come! Pinapple tarts, "ba kua", family gatherings, friend gatherings, food, food and more food... and also time to study!!!

The wait starts now!

Day 184

2008-01-26T15:38:00.000+08:00

It was our one hundred and eighty forth day....

I had the idea of renting a car and bringing med ard to see things as i've always mentioned to her about places and things but its hard to visualize when she cant see it... So this was it.

We got a Getz, wanted to try the car out for myself as well.. Hahaa... It is pretty much a car for running about, getting from point A to point B and then to point Z at the end of the day... So if u're planning to get a car, its worth considering.. Plus it has space! I could fit in well and drove without any discomfort despite my long legs...

And so, we headed straight to jurong hill and took a couple of pics in the car, because it was still drizzling.

And that was our first pic of the day....It was still drizzling outside so we took the time to exchange our presents we made for each other....

Check out what the little girl got me.... A Hugo Boss Mug... haha... and it fits well in my messed up table...Thanks darling! u can be sure i'll be properly hydrated...

Anywayz, when the rain stopped, we got to enjoy the scenery and took a couple of pics..

W her bag wide open....

And then off we went to our next place - bottletree village where we had our dinner... Its a really nice place for big groups to gather, eat and catch up... the ambience is really peaceful and cooling.. Its a good place for couples as well... quiet, calm, serene...hahaa... from there u can see m'sia across the sea.. So if u're looking for a place to go to, u can go there.. oh and they have CNY meal packages for 4-10 ppl.... pretty good la.... but its really inconvenient.. so make sure u do have ur own transport to get there...

Med wanted to sit on the wooden swing... it was a smooth swing though.

We were so damn full after dinner.... and then we chiong to geylang (taking 1 hr to reach) for durians... it was the v first time i went to geylang by private transport so it was an experience for me and for med(cause she wanted to see stuffs haha..). but when we got there, we were still full so we just drove ard w an intentional purpose of sight-seeing. After we had enough, we went down to changi for a 2nd round. Drove down the super long road to changi village where u could see planes take off... and there were hardly any cars... wanted to stop for a while.. but it was quite late already... little girl had to go home...So we chionged to aloha next cause i wanted to show med how the chalets were like and prob give her ideas for her birthday party...

From pasir ris to woodlands road... i showed her where i used to live and the house hasnt changed much!! cant believe it man its been more than a decade.... oh well and then i showed med my current estate so she knows how it is like.... and then i sent her home...

The next day, we woke up early to return the car and med offered to accompany me.. so i picked her up and we detoured to the heavy vehicle carpark near her place... i let her have a try on the wheel and she seemed pretty ok w it... pretty steady ah darling... hahaa... 'Isn't it easy??'
hahaa... oh well, it was such an adventure, and i really enjoyed every moment of it...

It is the 186th day today..... and there shall be no end....

I love you..

Samsung F330

2008-01-22T00:56:00.000+08:00

It has been a really tiring day today, started w a 2 hour lecture which the lecturer just rushed through everything and took it as if we're super computers being able to absorb all that info as she spoke... it was tough writing down every single impt point she said... shes gotta slow down man. .take it easy.. slow and steady wins the bunny!

And so after lecture, don and i went to hunt for our information visualisation module's textbooks to photocopy the relevant chapters. It was tough even finding the books man.. Boks were scattered all over sch.. and we had to walk from 1 library to another and then photocopy the textbook page by page... so manual... so anywayz, my initial intention was to photocopy the notes and then go down to westmall to get the F330 which i saw on promo recently. Seems like a good deal and so i was really attracted to it. However, i didnt had the time to go down to get it during my long break, so i went home for lunch instead and then headed back to sch again for practical. was a really tiring practical where i did an exp which i had done a few thousand times during my attachment. We had 4 guys in our grp and all i did was the final step.. Eluting the DNA!! haha..

Its been so long since i last bought a new phone. Prob about 2 years? haa.. my sony K750 is really cool and still good till now. but still i got the F330. Darling, i hope u get ur F330 tmr.

hmm the last time i pillion my dad was a bout a year ago and i just did again today. We went to get the phone and as well as to jurong east's cash converter. Service was bad man.. Well i guess its cause of the 1 malay salesman who was really rude to my dad. And when he asked my dad to ask another sales person, i decided to take over... This time, this guy immediately offered to give us a voucher for the faulty mp3 player that my dad had bought previously. Ha... gonna go punch the malay guy the next time i go there... Everyday pray pray pray, pray my a** la...

And so im gonna go continue my report to report strength... and then head off to bed.. sch's 930 tmr till 1730. nites everyone..

Oh.. yes not forgetting, i love u darling!
