confessions of an alchoholic (part II)

2009-03-29T12:11:00.003+08:00

i shall always remember that fateful night..

That "lucky" card which triggered my downfall..

99% vodka, 1% rose syrup..

99.5% martel, 0.5% diluted rose syrup..

and the person named ethan who turned a deep crimson red only after a couple of drinks and got so wasted..

Damn you, ace of spades.. =)

confessions of an alcoholic

2009-03-28T18:50:00.004+08:00

Jägerbomb rocks..

The new butter factory looks smashing.

Free flow martel is seriously bad for the liver. tsk tsk.

Thanks for putting us on the guestlist cheryl. =)

Ok, time to abstain from alcohol...

for as long as possible that is..

back to work..

2009-03-09T18:48:00.013+08:00

At last, i'm finally starting work tmr. The week's break was definitely longer than what i really needed. I've come to realise that i enjoy being busy actually, at least i feel that i am doing something worthwhile. Well, i'm commencing work tmr at IRAS at the call centre, much thanks to sihui who helped me secure the job.

Last week started off real slowly, basically just stayed at home catching up on sleep and settling some of the usual stuff.

Decided to join cheryl and her friend, janice at phuture on wed night together with yao guang. Was hanging out with eileen, yvonne and their friends for awhile before joining cheryl and janice, too bad they came too late and couldn't get into phuture. We stayed till almost 4, and by then we were all pretty exhausted and rather high. But nonetheless we all had a pretty fun time letting loose after so long. I almost got into a fight earlier on thou. lol.

Woke up on thurs feeling rather .. well let's just say i've had better days. Was suppose to meet ty at 4.30 but i kinda fell asleep in the afternoon and woke up at 4.30. oops, haha. Meeting up with ty is like meeting up with my relatives, it only happens every few months. like seriously. But it was good to see him again after so long. Gerald came to meet us after work and we went to catch Watchmen. I really didn't expect the movie to be so long, felt that it got a little draggy after a while but overall, it was a pretty good. We were all wondering why Dr Manhattan had to be naked throughout 90% of the movie thou.

Fri was just a casual outing with bern, cheryl and cliff at raffles city. Lunch was at Aerins, followed by shopping and loads of camwhoring. Seriously, cheryl is the biggest camwhore ever. my inner camwhore has been brought out by her. Quite hilarious thou, cliff was inside G2000 trying clothes out while the 3 of us were snap snap snapping away outside the shop. Saw some nice wallets and watches at Agnes B. but alas, they are wayyy too expensive.

Going out with them always make me feel so inexperienced since im the youngest but its always so insightful to hear their "life stories". ha. Cheryl is such a business savvy woman and a globetrotter, always travelling the world while cliff seems so grounded and Bern is just slacking off! haha!

And then came saturday, where i met up with my sji friends and there were shockingly, 7 of us present - kl, zb, cw, ty, ger, me and jeremy. The last time where there were so many of us was probably quite a few years back during our weekly lan outings when we needed the numbers. The atmosphere was rather um.. interesting, to say the least. We went over to bukit timah plaza to play lan, tried out left4dead. It was pretty fun, there were the usual screams and mad orgasams. People leaving each other to die, people trying to ks each other and the usual bitchy stuff. Haha, just like old times eh.

All these outings made me realise how rarely i meet up with my JC mates. I hardly ever see them nowadays, especially the gals like anitha and yawen and even kelly. I haven't seen yawen since god knows when man. Hopefully the meetup will be successful this sat.

Anyway, i'm looking forward to work tmr. Maybe i'll meet some interesting and nice people again. haha.

freaking bored

2009-03-03T19:22:00.008+08:00

Today is the first day i have been at home the whole day since i've stopped working and i'm already dying of boredom.

i hate having nothing to do and being so nuah at home.

i need a freakin job.

i need the freakin money.

i need to know the outcome.

i need.to know if it will all work out.

I just need time to freakin pass faster. damn it.

i fucking hate waiting.

I always seem to be waiting for something.

waiting for ..

school..

friends..

results..

work..

a lot of things will soon be determined over the next few weeks. i just need the damn patience.

Meeting with cheryl, cliff and the others for lunch tmr @ bugis, should help to make time pass a little faster.

Time passed so damn fast while i was working. fucking ironic.

and i fuckin. love. this. song.

Going Wrong - Armin Van Buuren with DJ Shah. and Chris Jones

Yea I keep dreaming
But I have it all
Ooh I'm still craving
To have you by my side

I know our love is fading
But soon we will shine

And I can't see today
And I can't see tomorrow
You're burning out of my head
And in my brain its going wrong

And I will live today
And I will live tomorrow
No matter what is said or done
Even if its going wrong

Even if its going wrong (2x)
You're burning out my head

I keep searching
Forever in your eyes
I'll be careful
But soon we will shine

And I can't see today
And I can't see tomorrow
You're burning out of my head
And in my brain its going wrong

And I will live today
And I will live tomorrow
No matter what is said or done
Even if its going wrong

Even if its going wrong (2x)
You're burning out my head

Even if its going wrong

You're burning out my head
And I can't see today
And I can't see tomorrow (3X)

You're burning out my head
And I will live today
And I will live tomorrow
No matter what is said or done
Even if its going wrong

frustrations..

2009-02-23T18:07:00.002+08:00

Ooo. Riverfront has FINALLY ended early for the first time. haha. Today was the first time our meeting ended early so we left the hotel after lunch. Ying qing and I den accompanied wendelicious to orchard to get her stuff. Lol, i think wendy is going to throw her shoe at me soon already. :P

I am soooo tired but i'm actually enjoying work, except for the boring seminars of course. For once in my life, i dun dread getting up so early in the morning to go to school/camp/work.

The past few days brought more new slaves like chris, michele, clifford, bernedette and cassandra, which means more people to crap with. haha. Found out that cheryl lives super near me so we have been going to work tgt and apparently there have been some bitching about a particular someone of late. lol.

The past 2 weeks have made me come to realise some things and now i'm starting to really evaluate what do i really wanna do. Talking to these "qian bei men" can be rather insightful actually. Gained some knowledge over the past few weeks. Feeling rather vexed over some issues but hopefully i can get them solved soon. Really crossing my fingers that things will work out eventually, but i can only blame myself if they don't. sigh..

Time to start looking for another job soon, probably need to save up as much money as possible for the future assuming all works out. Working at the APEC summit has probably helped a little with networking so maybe i can work with some of them again in the near future..

APEC Summit 2009

2009-02-19T20:26:00.004+08:00

Finally i have the energy to update. ha. Have been so tired the past few days that i just keep falling asleep at like 10pm. i'm very tired today too actually.

Well, my 2 week assignment at the APEC summit commenced on monday, just four days ago although it feels like so much longer. but i must say, i'm sort of enjoying myself in a weird kind of way. Yes, the meetings the meetings i'm in are very long (at least 3 hours) and are VERY boring since it has nothing to do with me.

Some of the delegates can be rather um, let's just say they aren't very nice. I shan't say who explicitly in case some crazy person is out there decides to sue me for defamation or smth. lol. There was one who decided to leave an apple core on the floor after eating. very disgusting i know, since i was the one who cleaned it up. and some of them look like they wanna bite your head off. There was even one who raised his eyebrows at one of the console guys VERY SUGGESTIVELY. HAHA! talk about inappropriate..

Of course, there are some who are quite nice. Was helping out this japanese guy today who was assisting the EC Chair. And he was damn polite lar, not like some. At the end, he even came to thank me for everything and gave me his namecard lol. Turned out his name is Takuo Kato, and he is the Deputy Director for International Economic Affairs in the Cabinet Office. I think i will most prob be meeting him tmr again.

Have been working at least 12 hours everyday but too be honest, i rather work 12 hours a day like this than 8 hours at a desk. And the people i'm working with are damn nice and friendly lar.

My meeting room ic is wendy who turned out to be fucking funny. We keep bitching about stuff at the back of the room and over the last couple of days she started to ask qian bian qi and lame jokes. and it is seriously fucking entertaining when we are damn bored in the room. And this has been spreading like nuts. We have been like asking everyone in the falcon room and some of the faces are damn funny sia.

Even ying qing whom i thought won't talk much now is like talking quite a lot. 3 of us are just keep crapping at the back to self-entertain ourselves over the 3 hours.

The people from Tricom are also damn good la, lol. everytime go back to the room is just to crap with ai lin and the rest. Shu wen is seriously FUCKING NICE, and damn "wen rou" like someone said. can't imagine her scolding people or losing her temper at all. Then there is xin wei who is like bloody tall.

Was having lunch at the falcon room today and we were spreading the qian bian tis to everyone in the room la. was damn funny to see their reactions. Clifford was like thinking so much to one damn lame question until michele totally sian diao. then there was others like jasmine, who took over qing ying in the afternoon, xue ling, oxy and cheryl.

this wendelicious is becoming a super celeb sia. lol. she was even msging qian bian tis to the other room ics during the meetings. lol. and she keeps flirting with bobby. HAHA.

Ok, working at events like this seriously rocks although the pay is not say very high actually and the working hours are long. But i think the people u work with helps make up for all of that.

and this wendy is crazy la, keeps taking taxi home everyday. but not bad la, i got free ride home. HAHA. if not i prob reach home at like 9pm.

I think by the end of the whole event i'm like going to be friends with the security and the hotel staff too also.

and the air conditioning is FARKING COLD. its like a bloody FREEZING FIELD in the hotel especially the Riverfront room where i'm in. and everyone keeps complaining to us of course. Heard from clifford that one of the China delegates complained that their winter isn't as cold as the rooms. LOL.

Pardon the rather horrible writing because i'm too tired to type everything out nicely.

Anyway, shall compile the list of qian bian tis so far:

1. Mantou and char siew bao went to watch a sad movie. Why did char siew bao cry and why mantou didnt?

Cuz char siew bao has filling (feelings) and mantou doesn't.

2. Then, char siew bao went to watch another sad movie with ba zhang. why char siew bao cry but ba zhang dunno whether to cry or not.

Cuz ba zhang has mixed fillings (feelings)

3. what is happy's surname?

Lee. happy-lee (happily)

4. Where does happy like to go?

Lucky plaza. happy-go-lucky.

5. how many friends does happy have?

Happy tree (3) friends.

6. Lang lai le. guess a fruit.

Peach- Yang tao (goat run away)

7. Yang lai le. guess another fruit

Strawberry. Cao mei (no more grass)

8. who flies faster, ultraman or superman?

ultraman, cuz he drive in manual gear (ultraman sticks out one hand and the other hand at the side while superman sticks out 2 hands to fly)

i think there is like damn a lot more but can't think at the moment. shall continue the list when i rmb.

LOL

im turning into a workaholic. THE HORROR.

2009-02-13T20:31:00.005+08:00

Ha. Just finished sending a shitload of resumes out. At least now my resume doesn't look so cui with some working experience to spruce it up. Actually i have a job offer, but its customer service, so i'm a little hesitant about it. lol. Hopefully can get another job.

Well i didn't have to work today since yesterday was my last day at SIM. Was quite an eventful morning actually. THE BITCH fired pei liang. LOL. He couldn't come to work because his grandmother entered the ICU and this being the 2nd time he didn't come for work she decided to fire him and told him that it was "the management's decision". right. She just promoted herself to "the management" with a sentence.

Why so serious? we are only temp staff..

The funny thing is i think Tracy from Success picked Si Hui to replace Pei Liang. This world is just so ironic. Well, i'm hoping that Si Hui gets the job. But beware of the bitchy shrew. tsk tsk.

Nonetheless, Sharon from HE9 actually treated me lunch. Another irony eh, someone from another dept treating me lunch. lol. Went over to ngee ann poly for lunch again at the new food court with almost the whole of HE9 and yi long and tuck leng. I started off eating lunch alone and then it became 2 of us, then 4 of us and suddenly there were like 9 of us. lol

The people from HE9 are all quite nice and friendly actually. and at least they are SOCIABLE. not like those from HE7 whom hardly ever talk. Sharon actually told me to come find her when im back in august for studies and we'll go back to ngee ann to eat. LOL.

oh well. its over. ha.

Anyway, I finally went to register for the LCCI bookkeeping and accounting course. Finally going to get to use my brain again. Its been seriously too long. Actually went to borrow an accounting textbook from derek today also. ha. shall go and read up a little later.

Oh yeah, the briefing for the APEC summit went pretty well. I'm suppose to be the Meeting Room Assistant. Basically, i'm just there to help prepare the documents before each meeting and basically just help out with anything in the room i think. Not too sure actually, lol. Shall play it by ear once i start on monday. I'm suppose to be with another girl yi qing in the room together with my room ic, but she's the quiet type unfortunately. doubt we'll be talking much. and if i'm not wrong, we are suppose to remain in the rooms while the meetings are going on. so it will prob be an eye-opener. hopefully, or i will just fall asleep.

Met some other people there thou, like benedict, christopher and andrew, all around the same age. was talking abt the usual crap like school, ns etc etc. A couple of them are awaiting their A levels. In the end all the guys sort of banded together and were just talking. Girls always so anti-social one. tsk tsk. not like guys. anywhere and everywhere also can bond. LOL.

Talking to benedict made me realise that next week i'll be working at least 84 hours. ok, 77 hours if we minus 1 hour for lunch everyday which i hope they don't, since lunch is at the hotel and i doubt we'll take 1 hour to eat. but nonetheless, i will have at least 33 HOURS OF OT. $_$. LOL. too bad we are only working till thurs the following week so no more OT. =(

I think i'm slowly turning into a workaholic. omfg.

and my earphones are still spoilt!! argh, stupid logitech had to and take over UE! Apparently, after they took over they decided not to sell spare wires. so now i'm still waiting for a response on how i can go about repairing them. AND ITS ONLY THE GODDAMN WIRES WHICH ARE SPOILT, SO I JUST NEED TO REPLACE THEM WHICH TAKES LIKE 2 SECONDS ONLY AND I'M WAITING FOR LIKE 3 WEEKS ALREADY. and i can't live without my music when i'm outside so i'm back to using the awful stock earphones. Ok, they don't sound too bad actually but i need IEMS!! i need to cut out all the noise when im listening. =/

Went down to Jaben actually, was thinking of getting the sennheiser IE8 actually but changed my mind to the Westone 3. Sigh, but it costs 599. was thinking about getting a 2nd hand pair, but its still about 480 and i bought my UE EBs for about 350 only about 1.5 yrs ago. Zzz... Apparently, logitech jacked up all the UE prices. The TF10 cost 600 over bucks now. Zzzzzzz....

To get or not to get?

money money money... its so funny..... LOL

work work

2009-02-11T09:34:00.005+08:00

Took a day off work cuz i need to go a briefing for the APEC summit later in the afternoon. It's 3 hours long, gosh.

Anyhow, seems there will be a slight change in my plans. Decided to do LCCI bookkeeping and accounting course for the next few months instead of ACCA because of the timing and the costs. Shall reconsider ACCA again after my LCCI course. Think i'm going to register for Econs & Finance tmr as well in SIM.

Turned out work wasn't so bad yesterday. It was more lively and not so mundane with the new temp staff there. Lol, yi long is the typical AJC student who don't talk much but Pei liang is quite funny. Made life more bearable. My lunch actually took more than an hour ytd, went over to ngee ann poly to eat with them and Tuck leng, another temp staff from another dept, Sharon and some other perm staff. Made me realise how dead and uninteractive my dept is. They barely even talk to each other sia. =/. Pei liang kept mocking yi long also abt his nerdiness. lol.

"i play better (in soccer) when others are running as well" lol, wth is that suppose to mean?

Too bad tmr is going to be my last day already. All the best to Pei Liang. like seriously.

Hmm, seems that the sihui and the others met on monday. Seems like a long time since i last saw them, except sihui of course. Just saw him on sat. lol. They all seem like a distant memory.. far far away...

anitha's face seems to be fading into the oblivions.. oh no.. but i can still hear her voice... lol.

Ahh, anyway i need to get ready soon. Need to head over to the agency to do some paperwork.

never judge a book by its cover

2009-02-09T19:55:00.006+08:00

Looks can seriously be deceiving. When i first started work, i thought most of my colleagues were quite decent, nice people. Turns out some of them are not, or at least this woman isn't. I shall henceforth call her THE BITCH. lol.

Well, THE BITCH is sort of the head of the department, but is still some small fry. So she is like taking charge of the temp staff, holding on to my timesheet etc. Lets see, THE BITCH is very short and small. like a female gnome. but don't let that fool you. she is ngiao as fuck. LOL.

1st incident:

Last week, i had an interview for my APEC summit assignment on thurs. so i told her that i would take the morning off and come back in the afternoon. But noooo, according to THE BITCH, SIM doesn't have any half day policies so i have to serve the other four hours after work, even though i'm being paid by the hour. So in the end i worked till 7.30 on thurs and fri. I'm perfectly fine with working until 7.30 but the thing is turns out that Tuck Leng, a new temp staff from another dept went for an interview on fri afternoon and he didn't have to make up for the half day he lost. Ok fine, maybe because he was from an another dept, and the dept head wasn't THE BITCH.

But, LOW AND BEHOLD, guess what? my colleague in the same dept is on HALF DAY TODAY. can someone pls spell THE BITCH please. No half day my ass.

2nd Incident:

I went up to THE BITCH this morning to tell her that i can't come on wed because i have a briefing for the APEC summit. At first she said okay. But sometime in the afternoon she came to my desk and said "actually ah, by right u cannot go for another company thing, so i have to tell the management and see if they might say anything."

Fuck. off. and. die. BITCH.

I'M JUST A FREAKIN TEMP STAFF LA ZOMG... And for fuck sake, don't say that there might be urgent matters when there hasn't been any shit going on for the past 1 over month that i have been there. You guys even have to hunt high and low for papers for me to SHRED so that i have something to do. die BITCH. lol.

So small yet so fucking ngiao.

Okok, i shall stop my rantings about THE BITCH. My last day is this thurs anyway. so good riddance. lol.

On a lighter note, my assignment for APEC summit has been confirmed! Can't believe i'm going to say this, but UNFORTUNATELY, it only starts next monday. At first they told me it will start this friday. So can't work this weekend. =/. ha. Looks like this weekend, need to go and get some decent formal wear then. Oh yeah, my working hours are from 16-26 FEB 7am-7pm everyday. Shiok sia. lol. But the waking up at 5am isn't going to be so shiok.

And i think i shall go and register for my ACCA course this wednesday as well. Going to be tough catching up i think. But i think i can do it bah. haha. Shall start off with 2 modules first.

Shall end off with..

DIE U BITCH. LOL.

Keepin em together cuz they sound so good
I’m holding onto Every Word
That’s whats got me feeling alive yeah

Every word you say is like it’s from a poem
Sending me to places I have never known
Something bout our vibe is like a chemical
If we don’t do this right I think it might explode

Feeling some motivation

2009-02-08T22:33:00.004+08:00

I just realised what a huge fool i am, I just wasted the past four years of my life, when i could have done so much more.

The first 2 years were my JC years, which totally went down the drain all because i didn't study. And after doing some research over the past couple of days, i realised how much more i could have done over the last 2 years while in NS, especially since i was so damn fucking free.

Nvm, i shall look to the future! I think i'm finally going to enrol for my course at SIM nextweek. After much consideration, i plan to either study Econs & Finance or Banking & Finance. Econs & Finance looks really content heavy thou, esp with the econs modules.

My mother also encouraged me to take up some courses within these few months actually, so after doing some research, i intend to take up accounting too. I'll probably register for the ACCA course after i clarify some doubts soon. Well, my mother isn't pressuring me to do the exams but the courses aren't cheap so i think i shd definitely do the exams.

My last day at SIM is also going to be this thurs. Got this 2 week assignment starting Fri at the APEC summit but apparently there are a lot of complications at the moment so i'm really crossing my fingers that everything will work out eventually. I'm actually looking forward to this job cuz i think it will be an experience. We are suppose to be working a 12 hour shift everyday and maybe all 14 days but i'm definitely okay with it since i'm so free anyway.

Currently i'm feeling the motivation to do something proper with my life and make up for what happened in JC and hopefully this motivation will last over the next few years. lol. At least i don't procrastinate as much anymore ha. Nowadays, constantly looking for jobs to occupy my time. Wanted to go and work at Starbucks at nights and on weekends actually but unfortunately i didn't get any return calls(apparently the guy told me they have like 50 applicants a day)=/. So, looking for some tuition assignments now too. Hoping to get a call soon. lol. Decided to volunteer with this year's HELP camp too since sihui asked. Do some good work to help balance the bad karma out a bit. And now with ACCA, i'll prob have some night classes as well.

On an another note, i thought i got over this issue but recently with this question keep popping up constantly i realise i have fully gotten over it. I know its all in the past, but somehow i just feel very guilty and kind of ashamed when people ask the question and i keep trying to avoid the question but its always inevitable. Zzz....

and i'm still secretly really hoping to find this group of people soon... lol.....

Upcoming movies

2009-01-14T20:35:00.023+08:00

Ooh, its finally awards season once again in Hollywood, and it kicks off with the Golden Globes. Its back this year (last year's show was a just a 30 minute presentation because of the writer's strike). Caught it on channel 5 on monday night. Anyway, being awards season there are a lot of good movies coming up. As usual most of them are pretty heavy stuff, but definitely worth the watch. Most of the movies are not out yet in sg unfortunately so just have to wait a while more. There are definitely a few which i really wanna watch ....

Valkyrie

Although this wasn't nominated for any category but i really wanna watch this. It is based on actual events and having studied history in sec sch i do know a bit about WWII. It is about a group of militants who are planning a coup d'état against Hitler but failed. It stars Tom Cruise.

The Reader

Another movie set in Germany post WWII. It talks about the relationship between the 2 main characters and despite falling in love, the female suddenly disappears only to re-surface 8 years later and her past is revealed. Stars Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet. She won Best Supporting Actress for her role in this movie at the Golden Globes.

Revolutionary Road

This stars Kate Winslet in another award winning role. She won Best Actress for this. Talks about her rocky relationship with her husband played by Leonardo Dicaprio and how they moved to France only to have their relationship deteriorate further. This movie reunites Kate and Leo after a decade. They were last seen in Titanic (duh).

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

A very intriguing story about a man ageing backwards from the day he was born. He was born with the body of an old man and his body grows younger as he ages. The lead is played by none other than Brad Pitt. Cate Blanchett co-stars.

Rachel Getting Married

Rachel Getting Married is about the return of an estranged daughter to the family home for her sister's wedding. Her reemergence throws a wrench into the family dynamics, forcing long-simmering tensions to surface. Apparently, Anne Hathaway's performance was given rave reviews by the critics and i'm quite intrigued by her and how she has evolved from her princess diaries days. Looking forward to her performance in this show.

Changeling

Angelina Jolie stars as the mother whose son was kidnapped and when the police finally returns the boy, it turns out that it is not her son. She challenges the police and was slandered as an unfit mother. Starts tomorrow. =)

Ok to be honest, i'm not sure if im going to catch ALL of them, with my finances hanging on a VERY THIN thread of late. But nonetheless, if i don't watch them on the big screen there are always other ways of catching them. hah.

There are some other pretty intense movies too. Not too sure if they will all be screened here though.

The Wrestler (the lead actor, Mickey Rourke won Best Actor)

Gran Torino (directed and stars the legendary Clint Eastwood)

Doubt

Set in 1964, Doubt centers on a nun who confronts a priest after suspecting him abusing a black student. He denies the charges, and much of the play's quick-fire dialogue tackles themes of religion, morality and authority. The very talented Meryl Streep plays the lead.

MILK

Based on the true life of California's first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk, a San Francisco supervisor who was assassinated along with Mayor George Moscone by San Francisco Supervisor Dan White.

Slumdog Millionaire (won best Motion Picture)

Suddenly there is such a huge flood of great movies because of the awards season. Wish they would space it out more instead of screening everything out just because the Oscars are coming up.

Moving on from movies and onto television. i must say i f.u.c.k.i.n.g love Tina Fey. She is absolutely TALENTED and just brilliant. She's so damn funny and witty and she looks great too. i know this was quite a while back but did u see her impersonation of Sarah Palin on SNL last year? She was so SPOT ON man. was freakin hilarious stuff. Not only can she act, she started out as a writer on SNL actually.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdDqSvJ6aHc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE2gE-VVjBI

She is the creator of 30 rock and also acts in it and she just rocks(pun intended). Its into its 3rd season and its seriously not bad, its quite funny, haha. Btw, 30 rock won Best Television Series, Best Performance by an actress in a television series (Tina Fey, woot!) and Best Performance by an actor in a television series (Alec Baldwin). Kudos to her, she absolutely deserves it. Her acceptance speech was probably the funniest of the night too. Suck it!

Up next, the Oscars.

Btw, work is damn boring. lol.

emo

2009-01-07T21:16:00.013+08:00

change. it is the one constant in life. i seriously can't help but agree with that statement. Have really been having a lot of mixed emotions since the day i left the army. With all the festivites and holidays, the fun was indeed shortlived. Reality has since set in and responsibilites are growing. Gone are the days of freedom and leading such carefree lives with just the constant worry of studies.

Was chatting with zb and cw over dinner yesterday about our future and work. yes work. for the first time in our lives, we are forced to finally get a job. As of today, all 3 of us are finally working. I finally got a temp job at SIM, ironically. cw is still working at the tourism company and zb has finished his 2 day course and started his teaching internship at da zhong pri sch.

We were just talking what courses we wanna study in uni and work and our biggest concern of all was, as always, the finances. Much as we would like to live off our parents for the rest of our lives, we are decent human beings who have a conscience and neither of us want our parents to really bear the full burden of the uni expenses.

Unfortunately for me, i can only enter SIM and the tuition fees can't be paid through CPF. As such, my mother has to pay for everything upfront. It's prob going to amount to about 25k for all 3 years, which is no small sum. sigh. Although my mother is earning a decent wage, but nonetheless its going to be slightly tough financially for the next few years, especially with my brother's wedding. Although i intend to work through school, it can only help so much. That's why i was trying so desperately to find a job previously. And i really was indeed trying.

and i'm still clinging on to that minuscule glimmer of hope that by some miracle that maybe. just maybe. i can slip through the cracks and maybe land a spot in NUS FASS? Ha. Well, a guy can dream, can't he?

Sometimes i really gotta hand it to yawen. Having to juggle so many things. School, work, family, and erm, various relationship(s?). lol, just joking. and her CCA takes up SO MUCH TIME. and she just became vice capt some more. Yawen, are you sure you are human? I shall rmb to go and check tmr during lunch. lol.

Nonetheless, i've finally gotten a job, albeit a rather saggish job. Don't get me wrong, the people there are friendly. Its just that im surrounded by a group of 30 smth women and doing such boring stuff the whole day (filing and various forms of saigang), it would be nice just to have someone to bitch with. or just to crap with. Ok i should stop complaining, i should just focus on the money!! but...

There are a lot of things on my mind nowadays seriously. I still have yet to really decide wth i wanna study. Econs and management? Met up with boonee ytd finally and she opened the "overseas" box again. But after looking at the expenses, i can really forget abt the idea unless i intend to be eternally in debt after i graduate. And as per the norm these days, relationships came up once again. Feels like biological clock is finally ticking. ha....

I have some other things on my mind too but i just can't put them into words. Everything is just one big mess in that brain of my mine.

Ok, i'm seriously becoming too emo. Crap. Maybe thats why i have a fetish for emo songs lately. Decode by Paramore, Anyway by Martina Mcbride, Ai Chuo by Lee hom. Wth is wrong with me. lol. nice songs thou.

and cw, stop thinking abt europe backpacking la. unless u suddenly strike the lottery. or unless you decide to go rob a bank. wanna backpack, go pulau ubin? just like OBS. Residential or mobile yo? =P (its JUST a joke)

money is seriously the root of all evil...

and hormones too.

and maybe anitha (always rmb, ******* are not trustworthy). lol

For some reason this song is on constant replay on my ipod recently.

Decode - Paramore

How can I decide what's right?
When you're clouding up my mind
I can't win your losing fight all the time
Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No not this time
Not this time

How did we get here?
When I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood,
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out on my own
On my own ("I'm screaming I love you so")
On my own (My thoughts you can't decode)

How did we get here?
When I use to know you so well, yeah.
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools of ourselves

Yeah
How did we get here?
When I use to know you so well, yeah yeah
How did we get here?
Well, I use to know you so well

I think I know
I think I know
There is something I see in you
It might kill me I want it to be true

Ha, just watched finished Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2008. It was held in Miami beach at the Fontainebleau Hotel. Adriana Lima opened the show this year and she is still one of my favs cuz she looks so exotic and sizzling as ever. lol. Heidi Klum's body looks amazing despite having like 1 million kids. She's not human i tell you. This year's special guest was Usher and he was as cool as always, showing off his smooth and slick dance moves.

My favourite part is probably the last runway walk where all the bling blings were coming out. Adriana donned a 5 million dollar bra. Lol. And Heidi was wrapped like a red christmas present. Selita Ebanks and Alessandra Ambrosio are pretty hot too. The last scene where all the angels were out were quite a sight to behold. The video isn't very clear but i think channel 5 is showing it soon.

oh. my. fucking. god. my brother has decided to make a video montage for his upcoming nuptials and went to dig up all our old photos. those DECADES OLD photos. those ABSOLUTELY MORTIFYING HORRENDOUS photos of me included.

i was obese. or quoting kelly's phrase, "not obese, but just very very very very very fat". that delusional girl. ok, maybe i wasn't obese in pri sch but these photos are just as traumatising. the old scars are resurfacing.

My brother just blurted, "oh you were fatter than me". Um, hello? I have always been and still am fatter than you. Stop using reverse psychology and me to elevate your self esteem please. LOL.

Oh how young and innocent i was then. and chubby. how i've been corrupted by all these evils surrounding me, if not i would still be such an innocent boy. sigh.

Guess i'll be seeing some of those photos during my brother's wedding then. shudders. maybe its time to start burning some of these unglam evidence.

at least i do not look like a certain deranged woman on her msn display pic now. oops better watch my karma before it bites me. lolll.

those photos are seriously funny man. haha. and yellow too. as in literally not metephorically u dirty dirty reader. see what i mean when i said i'm surrounded by evil dirty minds. tsk tsk.

Hahaha, that was seriously a good laugh. On another note, my brother just asked me to help with his wedding during dinner. To help co-ordinate some stuff, hasn't really told me about the details. I'm more than willing to help actually, SURPRISINGLY. But it kind of made me realise how near his impending nuptials are, just a mere 8 months away and i will have a sister-in-law. He will be moving out naturally. I suppose i won't feel much of a change since we don't exactly see each other that often now either but nonetheless it will be a little different.

His new home will be at tanjong pagar which will be quite a distance from us. (maybe purposely one, lol). it just daunted on me that i'm going to bear the full wrath of mother from now on. if only i was able to enter into nus/ntu and stayed in hall. lol. At least she has passed the PMS stage. More or less.

Suppose to go meet the future in-laws next fri too actually, but turned out they are not free. But its definitely inevitable. Wonder how it will turn out,maybe there will be lots of fireworks..

The yesteryears. Can u spot which adorable kid is me? LOL

And so it begins....

2009-01-01T18:42:00.006+08:00

the year 2009. Indeed, the year started off with quite a bang. Watched the fireworks display at marina square in a sea of human beings. Had dinner at Paulaner Brauhaus at millenia walk prior to the fireworks to celebrate goh sihui's 20th birthday. Good food and good service. Actually bumped into Jacob Toh at marina square, ha. Went over to kl's hse for mahjong after the countdown, but the game was kind of saggish and we stopped after a while and zb seemed to be on viagra mode, maybe he's all excited over starting school tmr.

To sidetrack, although i thought i expressed my uneasiness but apparently u didn't pick up on that. So i apologise for not explaining things clearly to you. But you seemed adamant about asking them and i didn't wanna rain on your parade so i expressed my opinion to the others instead, which wasn't right, i apologise once again. I am truly open to meeting new people but somehow i just felt it was going to a be a little uneasy that time. Nonetheless, there are times where you say its weird even amongst ourselves. But that is besides the point, I was wrong about the whole thing and it turned out fine instead. I'm sorry about the whole incident and i guess being a guy i'm not always very vocal about what im thinking or feeling and i shall be more expressive the next time around. And please don't keep saying nvm when it is clearly not so. I do wish to clear the air, it is polluted as it is already.

and who the hell is xin long?

Goodbye 2008, hello 2009

2008-12-31T13:10:00.003+08:00

Last night's convo with kelly and anitha was hilarious. Kelly was on a cleaner's high. Think all the dust in her room may have gone to her head.

Alas, we had actually had a semi-class gathering on sunday. Went to have steamboat at bugis. The turnout was not bad actually, 15 of us and plus wanda. Saw some people whom i havent seen in quite a while, like xinlin, yeeshiang and ziyan. All kinda looks the same actually, haha. Anyway, thanks to sihui for organising this annual outing. =)

And so as we enter the last 12 hours of 2008, its finally time to usher in the new year. I guess it has been a rather uneventful year, with me being in NS and all. Nothing much did happen this year, although i have regretted some decisions somewhat that i made over the past 2 years. Actually, looking back at the past 20 years i'm not exactly proud of what i've done with my life. I've made some pretty bad decisions and i guess i don't feel any sense of satisfaction over anything, especially for the past four years. Have been having rather mix feelings recently over certain issues and sometimes my mind seems to be a whirl. There seems to be a lot of "what ifs" unfortunately.

Nonetheless, the new year is coming and i am indeed turning 21 soon. I think i wanna be a little more proactive in life. I wanna to be more positive and more open. I should take more control over my life and as kl would put it, don't be so saggish. lol. Well, 2009 is indeed going to be a new beginning for a lot of things, school, work, even family(when my brother gets married next year). I definitely must make a conscious effort not to make the same stupid mistakes again and hopefully by the end of next year i can safely say i'm proud of who i am and what i've done.

Ha, ok to end things off on a ligher note, shall be celebrating new year with the anitha and gang later (i've come to realise we have started to call ourselves anitha and gang, lol). There will be some surprises included, good ones i hope. lol. Hmm, the weather seems very good today, maybe shall go for a swim soon. lol. Have been eating too much recently with all the festivities going on. Growing fat again. =/ (hydroxycuts anyone? LOL)

Mad

2008-12-30T23:23:00.002+08:00

kelly
has
gone
mad.

Right anitha?

LOL.

hahahahahaha.....

I finally did it

2008-12-26T18:35:00.003+08:00

Many things have happened since the last post. Met up with anitha, yw, sh and kelly at ikea on tues at ikea because kelly needed to get some boxes so that she could clear her room. Anitha actually came to pick me and yawen up, btw she is so delusional, she keeps blaming me for her warning for speeding when all i was doing was sitting beside her oh-so-innocently, like seriously. And at ikea, i was forced to take some rather disturbing photos. Lol.

We then did a tour of singapore and finally went to vivocity because kelly and anitha needed to shop while me sh and yawen were just sagging around. Yw and sh had to leave just before dinner and clarice came after work for twilight. I was rather surprised at twilight, found it not bad actually. I'm sure anitha was thoroughly enjoying the movie, although it was her 2nd time around. She was giggling and laughing like a 12 year old girl at the start of the show, especially when the male lead first made his appearance. Then towards the end of the movie, she was sighing like there was no tomorrow during the dancing scene between the 2 leads. Think she was going into heat.

Then came christmas eve, went to my aunt's house for dinner as per the norm every year. Finally saw some relatives after a very long time, their reactions and comments towards me justified it. lol. Had a scrumptious christmas dinner with the usual stuff, ham, turkey etc etc. One thing i have come to realise about our recent family gatherings is how times have really changed. In the past, conversation topics used to be just studies and work. Now, cousins have got married, my brother is next on the line, he is getting married next august, and even my other 2 cousins are attached. Seems every cousin of mine above the age of 18 has a significant other, except me. And this topic keeps surfacing pretty often recently, kind of feeling a little under pressure to be frank. Sigh. I wonder... ... ...

Anyway, was suppose to meet the guys after dinner but due to some circumstances, we couldn't. But we met up on christmas day itself instead, teng yi actually came for lunch and stayed till 4, as usual, he is ever busy and ever secretive. lol. Went to catch Australia, a 2 hr 45 min flick. Was indeed a little long, but it was pretty good. Nicole kidman was quite funny surprisingly. Gerald was actually falling asleep 20 mins into the show, guess it isn't his cup of tea. But its seriously not bad. I think if anitha watches it, she will prob go into an orgasm. LOL.

I actually did it today. Cleared my room that is. Like finally. Left the cupboard actually, but i dun really use it so i guess it doesn't really matter. I also cleared my wardrobe. Took out most of the stuff which i don't wear anymore. Realised there were some stuff which i didn't even wear, LOL. One of my new year's resolution is to buy stuff which i REALLY need and that i will REALLY wear and not everything and anything that is cheap = must buy. LOL. Finally, my table and drawers are mostly neat and tidy!

Was clearing my drawers and found some old letters that yawen and anitha wrote over the past 2 years too around the time we enlisted. Quite amusing to read those letters now, like how they wished me "good luck" and to come out of army "trim and fit". LOL. Found my old sec 2 zhuo wen books too, and realised how atrocious my zhuo wens were. My teacher was insulting me like crazy in his comments. Then came the NJC results slips, gosh. Was looking at my "lovely" grades and the "wonderful" percentile columns. One of my percentiles was actually 0 once and the others were mostly single digits. Absolutely mortifying and amusing at the same time. Came across old photos too. Haha, maybe i should keep of these stuff and go through them every end of the year during spring cleaning. Some of these stuff are seriously quite L O L and can be quite cringe-inducing also.

Anyway, i'm almost all prepared for 2009. =)

Job hunting

2008-12-22T20:59:00.003+08:00

Met up with the sji guys on sat. Was having dinner at Fish and Co. at the glass house where they were constantly having blackouts. The last 30 minutes or so of our dinner was practically in candlelight. How romantic eh. And as usual, there were singaporeans seizing the chance to squeeze out a discount from them. How typical. Went over to PS to watch The Day the Earth Stood Still, not a bad sci-fi film i guess.

I've been trying to find a job these past few days but to no avail. Hopefully, one of the agencies will get back to me soon. Apparently the market is also quite bad now, seems like the going rate is only about $6-$7.50/hr now. And that is if you are lucky to get a $7.50/hr job.

Decided to turn to my other alternative though and that is giving tuition. I'm planning to give maths tuition from primary-secondary level. Actually went to borrow my cousin's math textbooks today to jolt start my brain again haha. Actually took a little while to do some questions. The horror! Oh well, shall continue looking through the books later, shouldn't be too difficult i hope. Alas, i need to start finding students too. So anyone who needs a math tutor can come approach me! Haha!! To detractors, please keep your comments to yourself. I know what you are thinking. LOL.

Ah well, i've decided to be more productive with my time and not laze around all day. Have been going swimming the past few days and actually looking out for jobs, sent out quite a few resumes. Hopefully something decent will come my way soon. Going to continue looking through the textbooks the next few days and prob start looking for students soon. Need to get down to clean up my room soon, especially for the new year and clean up my wardrobe too. Too much rubbish are seriously piling up.

Going to meet up with the nj gang tmr, most prob watching twilight too. Christmas is just 3 days away only and the new year is just next week only. Time is really flying by. Anyway, I NEED A JOB! lol.

Kata Beach, Phuket 13-17 Dec 08

2008-12-18T19:16:00.034+08:00

And so i'm finally back from a 4D4N trip to Kata beach, Phuket. Arrived back in Singapore last night close to 11pm. Overall it was a pretty enjoyable trip together with zb and cw, our itinerary was pretty packed everyday too. Fortunately we were blessed with very good weather all 5 days, it only drizzled a little on the 2nd night while we were having dinner. Other than that, it was hot and sunny throughout the trip.

Well, we left last sat evening and as usual cw was running late but luckily zb's father was giving us a lift to the airport so we were still able to make it on time. By the time we touched down and finally settled down into our hotel,the Orchidacea Resort, it was pretty late so most of the shops were closed already so we just had our dinner, did some exploring around the area and went back to the hotel to rest. Oh yeah, our hotel was on a slope and and our room was right on the top floor. The hotel had no elevators we basically had to trek up the slope to our room and we actually counted the number if steps, it was about 110+ odd steps. lol. Good way to keep fit. lol

Ok basically, the hotel and our room was pretty clean and the staff was pretty friendly and nice but we did encounter quite a few problems with the room. The extra bed turned out to be pretty pathetic, lol. Like wad zb said, it was even worse than the army bunk bed. The air-conditioning was pretty noisy, especially when we were sleeping. But we kind of got used to all that after the 2nd night. The worst one was probably the elusive shower head and water. The rubber tubing broke TWICE and the water pressure can get pretty low. The temperature of the water fluctuated like crazy. One min it would be hot den it would be cold, den hot, den cold.. lol. But i guess it was only a 3 star hotel, so i shouldn't expect too much. haha, but overall it was pretty okay.

The breakfast was SCRUMPTIOUS, LOL, with zb and cw obsessing over the omlette everyday and ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the cheese. Quite a funny sight. There was this particular waiter who is ever-so-efficient too, he is constantly hovering around and just by looking at him he will rush towards u in a matter of seconds. Sometimes, we did not even need to look at him, just by sheer telepathy he will teleport to our table. He became a source of our amusement at breakfast, coupled with the "bapok" waiter as labelled by zb.

Well, we spent the next morning on kata beach itself where we were amazed at how clean and fine the sand was, an EXTREMLY far cry from Singapore's sand. I think Singapore's sand should be called dirt from now on. We decided to go book the tours after breakfast and were very lucky because we manage to chance upon this tour agency with an extremely friendly and hospitable lady, Lek. We decided to book a phi phi tour and the much talked about Hongs by Starlight tour by John Gray. She also gave us a good discount (or so we assume), but nonetheless her service was very very good and she knew her stuff pretty well too unlike some of the other agents.

We decided to go to Karon's viewpoint just before dinner because it is right at the top of the hill and it has an amazing view overlooking Kata and Karon beach. Too bad it was pretty misty that evening and couldn't really get a very clear view. We went to a seafood restaurant recommended by Lek for dinner, and i suppose it was pretty cheap spent about 20 odd bucks there. But the ambience seemed pretty posh for that area, lol.

We book a tour to PHI PHI the next day and did a lot of island hopping that day, 5 islands to be exact, on speedboat. One of the islands that we went was MAYA BAY, where The Beach was filmed. The sand here was the finest and whitest i have ever seen. It was extremely clean and beautiful. The cliffs and mountains surrounding the bay where extremely breathtaking and majestic too. We were simply awed by nature's beauty. We also did some snorkelling, but unfortunately i did not make contacts so i couldn't see much. (note to self: time to make those damn contacts!). Dinner was once again SCRUMPTIOUS, LOL, at Kata Mama Seafood Restaurant. This time it was really dirt cheap. We ordered around the same number of dishes, maybe even more and this time it was like only 10 bucks. One thing bad about the food there thou, they tend to put tons of oil in every dish, you practically can see the plates shining after we finished. Did some shopping after dinner.

The 3rd day was probably the highlight of our trip. We went on the John Gray's Hong by Starlight tour. We took the "mother ship" to Phang Nga and basically kayaked around the Hongs of Phang Nga. Some of these Hongs were so low that we had to lie down fully to get through. Explored bat caves and mangroves and just marvelled at mother nature once again. Our guide, Baw was very very good, he was very informative and kept explaining a lot of things. We had another SCRUMPTIOUS seafood dinner on board the "mother ship" and tried our hand at making the Loi Kratong, which is basically a floral ornament where they use to set out onto the sea and we can make a wish. We set out again on the kayak after dinner to set them afloat onto the sea and to check out the bioluminescence. The bioluminescence is actually plankton which will start to glow in the water when u disturb them, like fireflies in water. It was really cool and amazing looking at the bright lights moving around the water, too bad we couldn't catch it on film.

We tried to have a relaxing last day and had a slow day. we actually spent 2 hours having breakfast. But in the end it turned into the usual rush to shop shop shop. After checking out, we went out to the shops to buy stuff for ourselves and we were on viagra mode towards the end of the trip. We even decided to skip the Thai massage because we were still shopping like nuts.

Overall, i guess we enjoyed ourselves over there. Most of the people there were friendly and very hospitable with of course the few exceptions. Some were just downright rude and annoying. The beaches there were beautiful and nothing like singapore's and so is the water, so very clear and clean. Just baskin in mother nature's glory and what she has to offer to this world. Too bad 90% of the tourists there were caucasians (we were practically the only all-asian group at breakfast everyday) and the first thing the locals ask when they see us was "from china?". It caused quite a few lips to vibrate and my lips were flaming by the end of the trip. lol.

Don't really mind going back there again and maybe do the other stuff that we missed out like the whitewater rafting and the atv riding. Maybe can try the bungy jumping too, lol. Turned out to be a pretty good holiday with not much mishaps, except for the hotel room, which wasn't too bad to be frank, since we had a breathtaking view of the beach. Looking forward to the next holiday already. =)

2008-12-13T11:07:00.002+08:00

I'm leaving in a few hours time for the airport to go phuket. Hopefully, we won't encounter as much problems as we had organising this trip. Nonetheless, its our virgin trip overseas on our own without the supervision of any parents or adults so i'm sure there will be loads of interesting things going on (both good and bad).

Anyway, anitha and gang, lets have an outing next week? Maybe have it on the 20th since that was our original plan and hopefully yawen has still left it free. =) Ask karwai and the rest too. Its been quite a while since we have all met up.

Sawasdee and i'll be back on the 17th!

the start of a new era

2008-12-13T00:40:00.018+08:00

It has indeed been a long two years and my blog has withered away with the passing of time, hah. Well, seeing some people's blogs have inspired me once again to start writing about the certain ramblings about my insignificant little life. =) Seriously, i don't know whether i'll keep this up in the long term, but i guess it will all depend on how interesting my future life will be, lol.

These past 2 years of having to serve NS was kind of interesting, with various ups and downs. Well, today was the day that i ORD-ed. Finally. lol. Was kind of anti-climatic actually. Guess what Jacob Toh said was true - we were all so looking forward to ORD and once we got our pink IC and maybe after a few hours of exhilaration and relief, you realise that life just goes on.

Looking back at my past entries and my JC life was particularly funny. I really can't believe i used to blog the way i used to, feels as though i'm reading another person's blog actually. The tagboard is equally hilarious, esp the older tags. My last entry was 2 years ago when i had just enlisted. Still remembered how i really dreaded entering the army then and how much i wanted to ORD immediately, and now, i have. Seriously, time flies man, its almost time to usher in 2009. Realised that my thinking then was really quite immature sometimes and hopefully i have matured these past 2 years. Looking at the JC photos are also quite cringe-inducing also, seeing how OBESE i was last time. Gosh, can't believe i was actually that fat last time! Thank God i went through that 3 months of BMT, haha. Shall post some more recent photos later i guess. Kind of reminded me of what happened yesterday when i went to get my phone, i showed the guy my 11B and he actually didn't believe that the picture on my 11B was me. He kept asking me is that really me, lol.

Well, i have finally ORD-ed and a new chapter in life awaits me henceforth. The first page to this new chapter is going to be a long awaited holiday man. Will be leaving for phuket tmr evening together with my sec sch friends, zb and cw. I was the one who did most of the planning and organising for this trip actually. Well, we only managed to finalise this trip like a month back due to many mishaps and wars. First was the actual dates, then the passports, then the hotels, then the bookings, then the passports again, then the protests in bangkok. Lol, everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Nonetheless, the trip prevailed due to my excellent skills. lol and we are going to embark on our fellowship to the land of the thais tmr, sawasdee!

Hm, after the trip my plan is to quickly get a job and get some decent working experience and of course start earning some money to fund my constant expenditures and probably start university next year. Looks like its most probably going to be SIM since i was too screwed up in JC and practically screwed my whole A levels up and am unable to get into the local uni. Hopefully this time i have the motivation and the maturity to know when to play and when its time to study and not be such an idiot. It'll definitely be difficult getting into the momentum of studying again especially after not using my brain for 2 years but i know i can do it.

2 years have passed, and now for the next 2. =)

Sigh.

2007-01-05T19:05:00.000+08:00

My blog is dead and so am i.

Its
going
to
be
one
long
week.

Went to celebrate my good old friend's birthday today, Mr. Ng Teng Yi! Well, it actually this sunday but wasn't really free so decided to have it today.

Met zb and mr lau at abt 1 plus at paradiz centre where they were busy playing a rather saggish game of dota. Den watched them play while waiting for the birthday boy and cw to come. At first me cw and ty weren't keen on playing lan at all cuz it was actually quite a waste of money esp when we can play at home, but in the end we still played 3 hours of it. Wth, and we 3 lose i think all our games, super sian. But had a fun time suaning Mr Yap, oops i mean Mr Wu abt his lovers. haha.

Ended our games at abt 6 plus den walked over to plaza sing for dinner. We walked into manhattan fish market and den due to financial difficulties of a certain prostitute (he hasn't been getting his regular flow of sluts u see) we decided to go zheng fa at marina bay. And we actually walked out of the restaurant, omg no more face liao.

Zb and kl actually went to carrefour to get drinks cuz the drinks there are very ex and the maid helped us carried all the way there. Good doggie. Well, the food there was er so-so i guess, seemed quite gross to me though. It's like the lower class version of seoul garden, with no air con, no free flow of drinks, bad service, gross-looking food. But nonetheless the great company compensated for all of that, haha. Lau was as usual super bitchy and funny talking abt employers biting their maid's nipples off(which is true btw), bloody hilarious.

Anyway, left the place at about 9 plus den went to play a little arcade, which i havent done in like a few million years. My aiming is terrible for the shooting game, which is suan le. lol. Left marina bay at about 10 plus to go home, only to find my mother sleeping on the sofa at home, prob going to get loads of nagging from her tmr cuz i didn't tell her i was going out till rather late. But its nt the first time so who cares.

Anyway ty is at his grandma's hse now so prob get the few fotos from him later and post it up tmr or smth. Ok, time to shower, so oily and gross. yucks.

Oh yah, to anitha: I have such a huge new found admiration for u. You are such a strong person, i don't think i could be as emotionally strong as you, or maybe i could? is that a rhetorical qn? lol, thats nt the point. But u are indeed a strong-willed person who puts your family first. Its like a level 99 jinx casting blizzard, so strong. You truly rock like a graveller. Kudos to you.

Pokemon! gotta catch them all!

2006-10-05T15:18:00.000+08:00

Its a bright sunny day and ash and his friends are walking in the forest once again on their way to get his 7th and last badge so that he can enter the grand competition and challenge the elite 1 million.

As they are walking happily, suddenly! a strange sillhouette appears and ash gets all horny and excited!
Ash: i wonder what new pokemon is that?! i'm going to catch them all!
As the sillhouette walks into the light, ash sees that its MISTY! showering in the waterfall with her SAIDUCK, oops i mean PSYDUCK. Ash, starts having a nosebleed and the blood is flowing like a woman having her menses. Ash then rushes up to Misty and says i wanna battle you!
Misty, shocked by the sudden intrusion of her privacy screams her lungs out.
Misty: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! U HORNY BASTARD! U'VE SEEN MY TITS AND NIPPLES! AAAAAAAAAAA!i'm so going to battle yr ass and win yr sorry ass!

And thus the battle ensues, Misty uses her trusty psyduck! while ash decidedes not to go with his yellow friend and chooses CHARMAINELEON, oops i mean charmeleon although its a fire type.
Just then a beedrill appears in the midst of their battle and says in pokemon language: im a bee with horns on my hands im a horny beedrill. Where's akeelah?
Ash and misty: wtf?
They decide to ignore the lame beedrill and continue with their match.
Misty goes first and she uses growl to lower charmeleon's defense!
Psyduck: grrrrrrrrrrrr
Charmeleon: oh no, my defence has been lowered!
Charmeleon den counter attacks with a firespin!
Psyduck is den engulfed in flames and dies. Too bad.

Suddenly, THEY SEE A LEGENDARY POKEMON! ITS .. ITS ... JINX! diao. Misty was den too depressed that her pathetic psyduck has died and decides to become a lesbian while ash went on to become the horniest pokemon trainer dat ever lived.

Great weekend

2006-10-02T12:55:00.000+08:00

Supposed to be in school right now but i overslept, oops. Woke up at 10 plus and i still thought it was around 7am. Haha, I was probably too tired from severe lack of sleep over the weekend.

Started out on saturday where i had lunch at crystal jade with my family where the lunch was really screwed up. I don't mean the food sucked but rather the atmosphere was a tad annoying and bitchy. My mother was unhappy cuz i told her the previous night that i was going to stay over and as usual she was the drama queen. And my brother had to be a fucktard and rub it in with stupid questions. Anyway, after lunch i went to meet si hui (the lamer) and yawen(the brenda) to buy jingtat's present at far east plaza and we were all rather pleased with our purchases. After buying the present, we "heng-daed" back down to esplanade to reunite with anitha(the sorceress) and justin(the hissing fuck) and the HELP kids. They were like at 100000 decibels on the bus back to HELP centre and poor us had to undergo so much suffering, just like the fellowship had to go through to throw the ring back into mount doom. :)

Stayed at HELP for awhile to go get the wrapping paper and den meticulously wrap jt's present in 1 million layers of wrapping paper (all at the cost of $1), AMKrawksmysocks.com. Left help at about 6 plus to go to jingtat's birthday bash. We were all sitting at the porch with his siblings and the haze was pretty bad, the PSI was like 100+. Anitha was like weeping like a woman who had juz lost her husband to aids. Xiang yin is rather funny i must say, her comments were really hilarious like: "help, someone open the door, Jin Yan is drowning!" and "Do you hear weird noises at night". Haha. The tchs and cjc people were either watching soccer or playing basketball.

As the night progressed, 1 by 1 left leaving us delinquents behind. After all of us showered we decided to settle in for a movie, when the stranger calls. It was rather bland especially for a horror show. Stranger was probably the worst killer of all time, wondered how his victims fell prey to him. They were probably all blondes, then when he decided to prey on this brunette he suay suay kena screwed over instead. After the movie, decided to watch Kill Bill Vol 2. fell asleep towards the end of the movie but had to wake up juz after it ended and couldn't sleep after that. My sleeping space also gradually shranked and soon i couldn't move, i was like a bee which had lost its sting. For all you lost souls who don't get it, jingtat was coming closer and closer to me, duh. Anyway, managed to get a bit of sleep at about 6 when the maid finally switched off the tv but was still one of the earliest to wake up at about 9. Anitha and si hui also woke up and we did some er.. bonding together in jingtat's room.

Left his house at about 11 with yawen pretty shagged. Reach home took a shower and planned on doing a bit of work but i fell asleep on the bed instead and woke up at about 5 to an indian mother. Went out at about 6pm cuz we had a family dinner to celebrate my mother's and uncle's birthday. My mother is 52 only apparently, i tot she was much older than that, oops.

We went Hotel Negara for dinner and man the food there was great, so glad i skipped lunch. We were at the coffee house, think it was Vibes restaurant or smth. Its like a meat heaven there, its those type of restaurant where the chefs go around cutting different types of meats on a skewer for you. There were like 6-8 different cuts of beef, all very tender juicy and succulent and cooked just right. There were also sausages, ham, chicken, lamb and even chicken heart(din try that thou, looked rather gross like a shrunken penis) The pineapple was tastefully done too, grilled and sprinkled with cinnamon, it was like candy. The oysters and mussels were very fresh and the pasta was nice too. There were different types of cheeses too like grana padano and brie, the brie went well with the crackers. And for desert, the creme brulee was not bad ,and the chocolate fondue was awesome, it was like a chocolate waterfall man with slightly warm chocolate flowing down every inch and a chocolate lake at the bottom. The wine my uncle brought was very good, not too dry and not too sweet, went very well with all the red meat. The coffee fell short thou, ordered a cappucino and out came a cup of milk and foam and even after changing it, it tasted more like a latte. And the price was very reasonable too. The ambience and soft jazz music was a great compliment to the whole dinner.

After 2 days of fun, its finally time to get down to business, 1 month to the A levels and i've really got too many things to do. So its time for all of us to work hard together and get our As!
and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAN JINGTAT AKA FAGGOT AKA ONBATHU!

3 great days

2006-09-23T16:46:00.000+08:00

I decided to change to blogger because blogdrive was simply too laggy at times. Anyway, this past week has been a rather hectic one, with the end of prelims on wednesday and all the outings which came after.

So wednesday was finally the end of our annoying prelims, den 8 of us me hd anitha si hui justin yawen hui shan and kar wai went to play basketball. Den, after changing our destination like a million times we finally settled on to go marina square kenny rogers for lunch! Well, let just say the lunch was less than satisfactory for most of us. After that we went on to eng wah to watch The Banquet! It was a pretty good show with very good fighting sequences which were more of an art scene rather than just plain violence. Overall, was not bad except that everyone died. How predictable. Then, we proceeded to the esplanade rooftop! haha, brought back memories of when we went up there to snap fotos with the sji gang and mr lau. got pushed into the fountain.

Thursday was a holiday for us commoners who don't take S paper. So went out with ty and cw, havent seen cw in quite a while i must say. Suppose to meet at 12.30 but as usual we only managed to meet at abt 2, cw arh. Had lunch then went to play pool at KPool, man they shrank the place and everything is so cramped now. After lunch we caught miami vice with the rather bountiful Gong Li. Show was so-so i guess, plot was average and the production didn't seem that great either. Was kind of disappointing. The movie ended at about 6 plus and we weren't dat hungry so decided to walk aroung taka for awhile. Den ty went to meet his parents and cw went home while i went btp to play more pool! Anitha, as usual pangsehed. And i found si hui playing with himself, i mean by himself, oops. Not long justin and heng da camed followed by jingtat and his friends. Pool was alright, with my balls(i mean the pool balls on the table) flying everywhere. And irritaing jingtat was kao bei-ing me like a cb. Wad a bitch.

Friday was quite too!Decided to go sentosa and we were suppose to meet at 10 but guess wad we only managed to reach sentosa close to 12! Some people were late like me, but i had reasons.
lol Anyway, only me si hui justin anitha yawen hui shan and jiaying went and it was a bit sian at the end. But it quicky picked up as i was in great company and were playing volleyball in a makeshift court. Den me justin huishan and yawen went to cycle doubles which was rather tiring esp for old folks like me arh. Cycling up the damned slopes were like an 80 year old man having sex. Life-threatening. Den anitha came with her re-straightened hair. We laughed and played somemore then left at about 5. Den me anitha justin and si hui went cine for dinner. Ate at cafe cartel again, was quite fun. Laughed and crapped quite abit. Esp justin, with his no-linK comments. After dinner, only anitha wanted to go home but the rest of us din really feel like so we just decided to walk down to ps with her. On the way, stopped at istana park and took loads of pictures!

Anyway, here are some of the photos we took over the past 3 days

Looking down at you! Group photo 1Smile Smile!Having Fun at Sentosa! Group Photo 2 Anitha, my minion! Stamford Raffles in the making COT! All Hail Anitha! Group Photo 3
