Christmas eve Christmas Today

Christmas Eve

Today is half day for me! Had a small party in the office after office hours and had quite a feast. There were pizzas, turkey, curry bread, red wine etc etc. After that there was also gift exchanging, I got a swarovski necklace and a candleholder. One of my male colleagues got a pink G-string panties while another male colleague got a box of condom hahaha. And the thing is only 4 guys including me took part in the gift exchange together with 10 over females and so coincidentally both of them kenna haha.

After that I went home to play xbox LOTR ROTK..was stuck at the stage escaping from the ghost cave. I always can't get Aragon out of the cave in time. Soon after I fell asleep and by the time I woke up it was time to prepare for Zouk! Took Mazi’s car there because I wanted to drink haha. We met up with Bernerd at Great World City and reached Zouk at around 8.45pm. But guess what…they claim that the $28 tickets were sold out! What the hell?! They didn’t say anything about limited tickets…they just stated it would be $28 before 9pm. But anyway we decided to go in anyway. Got our chop and went to the coffeeshop opposite to meet meiwen, meiting and nadia (correct spelling?) for dinner. Ate this HongKong Mee that sucked…more like vege beansprout mee. After dinner we went back and hanged around Phuture. Party started really late…didn’t danced till around 11+. Saw my church friend Philadel and she joined us together with her friend…her friend got me giggling on the dancefloor because he was smiling from ear to ear all the way while shaking with his 2 big front tooth jutting out.

Mazi left really early because he needed to book in camp for his guard duty the next morning. Bernerd and me partied with the girls for a longer time but left earlier than them anyway because Bernerd seemed bored haha. Wanted to go play snooker in my drunken stupor but couldn’t find any 24 hours one so we went home.

Christmas

Was forced to wake up early by my sister because we were supposed to go to a relative’s house in Marine Parade for some Christmas gathering. Saw my new nephew, he was really cute and chubby…he kept playing with my handphone the whole day…wish I could adopt him wahahaha.

After that had a small Christmas party at my own home. Got presents from my own family and Sam. Sam bought me this Harley Davidson keychain hehe thanks dar.

Today

Last day of SIP today can you believe it…but I can’t stay in the office…going out to shops again. Thailand on Monday! Anyone cares to send me off?

Bata bata bata bata bata bata

Had a long walking day at work yesterday. I wasn’t in the office…was out in town going from shops to shops to update their software. Covered shops from Tiong Bahru all the way to Plaza Singapura. Legs were so tired at the end of the day but I didn’t go home. Had arranged to meet my Mum at Raffles City because I needed her Robinson card to obtain any extra 5% discount to buy stuffs. After finally settling all the Christmas presents…I felt both happy and bad. Happy because I settled all the intended presents and bad because I missed out quite a number of people. Spent a lot of money again…I wonder if I can survive…

Will be going out to stores again today…probably further west at Choa Chu Kang, Bukit Panjang area oh man……..

Freaking wet weekend..

Saturday

I woke up at around 10am and slacked around the computer till around 11 before leaving home to meet Sam to bring her out for lunch. We decided to go to orchard for lunch and also buy our LOTR movie ticket for the 1130pm show at Lido that night. As soon as we reached orchard it started to rain dammit. After lunch at Long John Silvers and buying our tickets, i went to meet a buyer. And guess for what...for the radio earpiece and user manual for my lost 5100 phone wahaha. Got a cool $25 for it and after that i sent Sam back to work. After that i met Bernerd to play snooker...this time i lost dammit.

It was still raining after i finished playing snooker at 5pm. Left to meet Pussy at City hall. We attended mass at the cathedral before starting our christmas shopping! Bought a hell loads of presents for others and myself too haha. Spent so much i can feel my bank account bleeding, but i'm glad that i settled most of the intended presents for friends, family and a few of my colleagues. After shopping ended at around 10.45pm for us, we were dead tired and guess what...it was still raining...dammit dammit dammit. Went to fetch Sam from her place before rushing to orchard for our show.

Walked past Cheap and Mingli as we were rushing to Lido, they were going to catch the 11.45pm Infernal Affairs. The show was great...very long and very entertaining. One part i thought was ridiculous was the ghost army. They clear the enemies so easily it makes the battle not entertaining anymore...somewhat it looks as if they are more powerful than the ring, sauron or any orcs haha. I wasn't very comfortable throughout the show because somewhat my pants still got a little wet although i did put on my raincoat...so i had an itchy butt in the cinema and was very restless wahahahha...(don't laugh). The show ended at around 3.30am and by the time i got home it was around 4+...and of course time to sleep.

Sunday

Woke up at around 12 noon plus. Met up with Sam to meet the seller of my Xbox! Before that i parked at Orchard Parade Hotel and had an accident tamade dammit knn fuck. As i wake going down slope to B1, there's this distorted drain pertruding from the ground acting something like a hump, i didn't see it...i don't remember going fast but after hitting it...my whole bike fell. Both me and sam fell off the bike...Sam had some small abrasions on her arm and i have some bruises on my fingers after they got squashed by my bike...OUCH...ehhh actually not really too bad lah. I'm glad it wasn't anything more serious and this accident did affect my riding confidence abit. I better be more careful next time...but dammit there's really something wrong with the road there..i wanted to complain to the hotel management but with my character..you can guess i can't be bothered. Anyway forget about the bad incident...i got my xbox! After getting it, it started to rain again...wassup with that?! We went to Macpherson's Jackson for lunch before heading to AMK to get another controller. After that it's time to have fun, we went home and played and played. Or should i say me, Sam got bored after awhile and went to sleep while i continued playing playing playing :)

I just woke up 1 hour ago!

I came home with packet dinner for myself..ate it and went to watch WWE Survivor's Series that i taped last night. Fell asleep on my sister's bed midway through and it was only like 8.30pm?? Was simply too tired...reached home at around 3am last night and woke up at 7am...now that's something not easy to do as all of you know.

Just finished browsing through all my friends blog and almost all of them have music implanted. It gets irritating sometimes especially when it interrupts i'm listening to my favourite mp3s on my com...it's ok when i'm in the office because i have no speakers there haha.

I woke up to find myself watching the ending of WWE Raw and went on to finish the Survivor's Series. You'll be amazed by the types of matches they have nowadays. There is the ambulance match, the buried alive match, bra and panties match etc etc. It get really hilarious sometimes especially when they trash talk. I guess i'm going back to sleep soon..can't wait to catch LOTR...anyone interested? Let's have a mass booking...sounds fun already..

Embassy Night

After work yesterday, my mum suddenly called me and told me my sis suggested on eating out today at their favorite restaurant Jack's Place. Before that Sam came to meet me in City hall because i finally found a buyer for my GD88 and was meeting him there. After that i sent her home and decided to go home first because i needed a bath and a change of clothes before clubbing later at night. I had to rush here and there like mad because i was late. I parked at the open space carpark opposite cineleisure and rush over to the Jack's Place at Wisma Atria. After dinner we walked around because my sister needed to get a $5 present for her Christmas party the next day. We hanged around taka's Watsons and bought lots of stuffs, you guys should check Watsons out. After that i left them and went to meet the rest for clubbing. Got a rude shock when i went to collect my bike, i had a parking summon for not putting parking coupon! But guess what......i did put up one! I was in a rush but i didn't forget to put my parking coupon...i threw it in between the dashboard and windshield area and that stupid damn umbrella woman must have missed it....i want to complain! But how do i go about doing this? Is it worth the trouble for the $8 summon i got?

Anyway i went on to meet them feeling pissed in between. Although it's only a small fine but i feel so framed...stupid umbrella woman. Clubbing was at Embassy...SIM bash. Reached there at around 9.20pm and went in at around 9.30pm? There was a pageant going on and it bored me. However the party began soon after and we started shaking…music was mixed and I loved the retro parts hehe. Only slept for around 4 hours…I can’t wait to go home and sleep now dammit.

Valencia's birthday

Went to collect valencia’s present from Sam’s house after work yesterday because she had left it at home and she didn’t want to go home first before meeting the rest so I was given the task. After that I headed home, had a bath, rested for awhile before leaving home to meet them at Clarke Quay. Met up with them at the reverse bungee and waited for the birthday girl and boyfriend to come. As usual they were late and we didn’t see their faces till around 8pm (We arranged to meet 7.15pm) hehe. We had all agreed earlier to force her to take the reverse bungee, she was reluctant at first but had to comply in the end. The last time I wanted to take the reverse bungee at UK funfair, I freaked out simply by looking at it, so I told myself I must take it this time and that’s what I did! Valencia is holding the VCD of our ordeal…probably she can upload it for us to watch. The ride was alright…gone in a flash…the only scary part was the suspense when you know the capsule is about to shoot up in the air…after that it wasn’t scary anymore…just like any normal ride. But that poor birthday girl was tearing up there on the ride haha.

After that we went for dinner at Hooters. Woohoo the waitresses were all skimpily dressed showing lots of cleavages and butt wahahaha. Thought that their job was pretty degrading…but who cares…they are not my girlfriends hehe. They had performances, games and fun stuff in between while we were eating. Valencia was pulled on stage a few times to take part in games and take photos etc. There was also a limbo rock session where diners are invited to challenge each other. Stupid henry pulled on up to try it together with him…and of course I couldn’t do it…but they do have a very go limbo rocker in Pinky…one of their waitress…funny name haha. Anyway I don’t recommend that you dine there, it’s freaking expensive and the food isn’t all the marvelous too…or and one Polaroid photo cost $10!

After dinner 8 of us decided to go for a spin at Mount Faber…Kheng Hong was driving and I was riding…I was supposed to lead them but Sam caused me to make a sudden turn at one point and we lost them. So Sam and me reached first and we waited for more than half an hour for them because they got lost. When they finally did arrived, we hanged around chit chatting and taking photos with my GD88 before leaving at around 12.15am.

Anyone likes the new Jason Maraz’s song “You and I both”? Thought it’s quite nice…but you can forget about getting it from Kazaa…the new songs will never turn out perfect. Wanna go Christmas shopping soon…need to buy presents…oh ya…and I’m going SIM bash at Embassy today…hope it’ll be fun….

Youngest Atlantic rider in Singapore?

Just now when i was reading papers sitting on my bike in the carpark, this uncle came over and ask me how much i bought my bike. He has been wanting to buy a new bike, he is currently riding a Piaggio Hexagon...it's really old. He was actually considering the Piaggio X9 till he saw my bike...smaller and nicer hehe...gave him the address of my bike shop and off he went.

Most of the Atlantic riders i saw or know are at least in their late twenties or older, i think i'm the youngest Atlantic rider in Singapore currently hahaha. Is this an ah pek bike? Must all youngsters go for sportsbike? Hmmm

Sam's dad birthday

It was raining after i knock off yesterday. Sam came to meet me here, we got ourselves coated and covered before moving off into the rain. We then headed to Chinatown Point because she wanted to redeem a free swensen ice-cream cake courtesy of Singtel. Surprisingly the whole cake with the cake box plus all my other stuffs fitted in the rear box and off we go. It's always a hassle keeping the wet raincoats after riding in the rain.

Ate steamboat there and was pretty bloated after that. Managed to transfer some of the photos in my GD88 to her computer because her brother had the infra red port. Will upload the pictures when she sent it to me!

Damn weather...raining again today..it started raining only after i was nearly riding off with my bike today...so i had to hurriedly put on my raincoat and stuff before moving off. And here they are in my office being dried....going to celebrate valen's birthday by having dinner later...looking forward...cheers

Carolling at Bata

Wahaha i just had carrolling here in the office...there were lots of people..people from the stores, other depts and even some from Grand Plaza Hotel. We sang White Christmas, Rudolf the red nose Reindeer and What a wonderful world....wahahaha

Got back my phone!

I bought back my Nokia 5100 yesterday! Got it for $250 only and there’s an extra original black housing too cool. Now I’m trying to find a buyer for my GD88, hope someone comes along soon.



Nothing much happened yesterday, I went home after work and Sam went shopping. Have nothing to blog about leh….i’ll see what I can do later in the day hehe.

Dead handphone..small quarrel..saddam caught

Friday

Went to fetch Sam at her house after work because we will be meeting our FYP supervisor in school today. But before that I wanted to go to my bike shop to pay my installment and also get them to fix my underseat light that wasn’t working. While I took my bag out from the bike, it accidentally dragged Sam’s bag and “thorp” it dropped on a puddle of water on the floor. She got angry I got angry tada. And to add fuel to fire, I forgot that they only accept cash for installment and so I had to come back another day since we were already late for our meeting and the nearest atm is quite far away.

When Sam stormed off home after the meeting, I went to eat dinner at Bedok 85 with Shengxian and Shawn. After dinner I headed home, as I was pretty tired myself. It had been raining the whole damn day.
But that didn’t stop me from going out. I took a bath and went to meet weijian to play lan at beach road. By time I got home it was nearly 2plus and time for me to sleep. Oh I forgot to mention something really stupid that happened to him. When I arrived at his carpark, I called his handphone and was surprised to find his line engaged. I waited awhile and then he called. Guess what happened…..he had dropped his handphone into the toilet bowl and to make things worse, it was filled with shit wahahahahahahaha! I laughed till I almost crapped myself. He thought that I had messaged to tell him that I’m downstairs, so he pulled the towel that his handphone was on top of. All of a sudden…….”thorp”….the handphone dropped in the toilet bowl. I was told bubbles appeared and he could hardly see his handphone…..wahahahahahaha again! He felt grossed to take it out immediately so he looked for sticks etc trying to dig it out. I dunno how he finally got it out but by the time he did it, it had drowned. Am I very bad to tell everyone about this? Haha but I think it’s too hilarious not to blog down for myself to read in years to come hehe.

Saturday

I woke up at around 10 plus this morning. Hanged around my computer before fetching Sam from her workplace again. We were to go to our tour agency in Chinatown to collect our air tickets and pay up. After that we went to catch Infernal Affairs 3, part 3 wasn’t all that fantastic, it was confusing and that wasn’t much action. Spent a lot of money today, bought lots of stuffs, some clothes for myself, presents for my niece/nephew and my mum. After that I sent Sam home and went to meet my sister at Paragon. She wanted to buy a new phone and I was there to accompany her. But M1 told us that our mum would have to be there if we were to redeem the handphone promotion. So our mum came down from city hall and bought my sister the handphone. She bought a Sony Ericsson T610 by the way.

My day didn’t end here. I went on to meet Bernerd to play snooker. The score was 3-2 to me hehe. After snooker I went to meet wayniest because he left his cap in my bike. My memory is failing me again, I can’t remember if we did go out after that. Did we go play lan again?

Sunday

I went to my bike shop in the afternoon and finally paid my installment and got my underseat light fixed. After that I didn’t know what to do so I went to a multistorey carpark near Sam’s house to clean my bike. I then met her to eat KFC before meeting weijian to go play lan. (Not again!) After we finished playing I had to go off because I was supposed to go Hani’s house. Since he was waiting for mingli to go dating and it was still early he tag along as I went to fetch Sam.

Found Hani’s house without many problems and had my fill of food. Then as we were leaving, the news reported something. “We caught Saddam!” What big news, I’m blogging this down to remind myself this happened this day 14th december 2003. Saddam is a coward monkey crap, he keeps telling his men to fight till the end and yet he surrendered. Ballsless…

Politics....rain rain and more rain again

Just came back from Bedok Centre. I was there to solve one shop’s computer problem. I feel so clever after solving it wahaha. Everyone in the company treats me as if I’m computer genius my head feels so big now wahaha. After solving their problem I went to Macdonalds for breakfast alone. The McPepper just taste so good…crispy bun plus tender juicy black pepper beef patty…yummy.

Those that just POP from BMT got their posting today, Weijian and Bear got Sispec Infantry while Dave got Racky Trooper…poor them…didn’t get the officer that they wanted. I guess I’m prepared to enter Sispec too.

I was discussing with a few people about politics yesterday. You guys go to google, type “miserable failure” and click on “I’m feeling lucky”…someone’s autobiography will come out. Why is Bush so hated? You guys think he wants war? Anyway those monkey craps Osama and Saddam started it. Why bomb the twin tower for? Waste money waste time…and now Osama has to be on the run when he could have sit back and relax his whole damn lifetime in luxury with his massive fortune. Saddam is another crappy man, he’s equally as rich and morever he’s powerful. Why still create trouble?

Ok enough about politics for now. I’ll talk about my yesterday. I met Cheap at around 10pm+ and was supposed to meet jackie, dave and gf at wheel lock place. As I parked at the pavement behind Borders and was walking towards BK, I saw freddy, mark, bucky and mambo girls…what a small world. We chatted till around 11.45pm before me and cheap decided to head to Sam’s house. As Sam’s father was on a cruise, I wanted to try driving his Kangoo hehe. But I couldn’t turn the ignition on no matter how I turned, there’s probably some lock or something dammit. So there, mission abandoned and we all headed home.

Was drenched yesterday as I was riding home, super heavy rain again. I got a feeling it will rain heavily again today because it’s very cloudy right now. I’ll be going to school for fyp meeting, I don’t want to be wet again…..

BBQ

Went for my niece’s birthday bbq yesterday. I have been wanting to bbq for a long time, miss the bbq chicken wings, stingrays, prawns etc hehe. The bbq was held at SMRT club, bet none of you people know where that place is. I ate chicken wings till I couldn’t swallow anymore, but actually right now as I’m typing this I’m craving for more haha. I wonder what I should buy for my family and friends this Christmas….hmmm time to yahoo auction.

Rain Rain Rain

Met up with Sam after work yesterday. We then went to Kallang because I was meeting a buyer. After that we had dinner at Old Airport Road’s market. The food was quite good and it was pretty crowded over there. Sam then decided that she wanted to go to Waterfront by the bay at Kallang to walk around. As I parked my bike, she suggested putting our helmets on the bike without locking.

After walking awhile, I didn’t feel good as I didn’t feel safe that my helmets are there for anyone to take. I’ve read a lot of cases of cheap helmets being stolen, the consequence of my helmet being stolen will be quite bad, so I decided that we should go back to put the helmet back in the box, Sam got angry of course. We then decided to go off from then on. All of a sudden without any warning, it started to rain. We quickly rushed to put on our raincoat and gears. Soon after a thunderstorm followed. It was raining so heavily I could hardly see as I ride. My visor was foggy and because of the downpour, my visibility was probably only 10 metres and so the whole journey I went really slow. I was struggling while Sam was having so much fun in the rain she went “Woohoo!” here and then haha.

This morning when I came to work, it’s raining again dammit. Hate the rain, luckily I’m not too wet today.

Training again yesterday

Went to play snooker again after work yesterday haha. Was there early as Jackie and Fred were watching a movie at marina. So I went to Cold Storage at Peace center to walk around. Bought a cleaning spray, batteries and a Kit Kat Chunky. Not long after, they finally arrived. Met them at the food court in Paradiz Center. Both me and fred had Carona chicken while Jack ate some malay economical rice. I had to wait 8 mins for my carona chicken because they didn’t have ready fried chicken wings.

After we had our fill, we went on to do what we met up to do. If I didn’t remember wrongly, I won only 2 game haha. Things were bad this night for Jack and me, we drank a lot of water and Fred gained from it. After snooker we went to drink rochor dao huei and that’s when I found out Fred is going to Bangkok at the end of this month too. He’s leaving on the 27th while I’m leaving on the 29th. The big difference between our holiday is that he’s paying $500+ for it while I’m paying only $375 haha. It’s either he got his carrot head chopped or I found a good deal.

Feeling so sleepy and tired now. Going out with Sam later..hope the day ends well woohoo!

Weekend

Friday

Went home after work last Friday. Nothing much to talk about.

Saturday

Woke up at 9.30am because I was supposed to meet a phone buyer at 10am at Yio Chu Kang Stadium. As I was meeting my buyer, I met Derrick, my former secondary classmate. He was on his way to the gym and since I had planned to go jogging after selling my phone, I decided I should join him in the gym. I paid $2.50 for entry and $1 for a towel that was necessary. I headed for the thread mill first. It’s the first time I’m using one of these, I’m suarku I know. I had planned to jog 2.4km but after 2.1km I couldn’t take it anymore. I was panting like mad, and as I stepped off the thread mill I started to get dizzy. Derrick told me the air in the gym is thin so he accompanied me out of the gym to the balcony to catch my breath. After awhile we went back in and I tried some weights, my arms started to ache after awhile haha. So I decided I didn’t want to stay anymore so we left together and headed to KFC in Ang Mo Kio for lunch. After lunch we both headed home.

I slept throughout half the rest of the afternoon and went to meet Sam after her work. We first headed for Orchard because I was supposed to meet another buyer of my phone. We walked around and couldn’t compromise on what to eat for dinner. I wanted to eat Yakitori lunchbox but she wanted crystal jade. But finally we ended up eating Yakitori lunchbox haha.

After selling my phone and eating dinner, we went to Toa Payoh to watch brother bear. It's a touching, funny, inspiring cartoon…after all it's a Disney cartoon. After the movie I sent Sam home, and while at her carpark, she realized that her dad’s van wasn’t parked there so she called them. She found out that they were at a cousin's house warming in Jalan Kayu, so I sent her there.

Guess what the highlight of my night, I saw a shooting star! For the first time in my life! I was lying on my bike while Sam was making the call behind me. I was staring at the sky when suddenly this bright light appeared. At first I thought that it was an airplane, but all of a sudden, the light flew across the sky in a flash, it's a shooting star! The whole event lasted less than a sec, I quickly told Sam about it since she was only behind me in the pillion seat but she told me she didn't see it. I quickly made a wish, a wish I won’t reveal or it might not come true!

Sometimes I cannot but have to believe in fate. For example this night, if Sam didn't realize that her family wasn't at home, then I wouldn't be lying there on my bike staring at the sky and I wouldn't have seen the shooting star. This is not the only occurrence that makes me believe that sometimes its fate that decides everything in life. How about the guy that was riding his motorbike on the road when at that point and at that time when he was passing, a tree fell on him and his bike? What if he had dilly dally for just 1 minute at his carpark before moving off? Then he would have missed the tree by one minute! Anyone here believes in fate too?

Sunday

Went for mass as usual in the morning with Puss and ate lunch with him. After that we went on to find a pirate in the area because he needed games for his new computer. The old stores that were around closed down, but we still managed to find and so he bought his games. After lunch I went to meet Sam. We went to watch another movie, Duplex. Its a stupid show with a dumb storyline, the whole show made little sense and I didn’t really enjoy it at all. If you guys haven caught it yet, please don’t bother. But I did catch Scary Movie 3’s trailer before the movie and it’s a must catch! It sure looked darn funny, who cares if it’s RA? Must watch!

Anyway did you guys watch David Blaine Vertigo? He is such an amazing magician. He made my jaw drop and my eyes wide open. There was one trick where he took a picnic goer's empty beer can, rub it once and it became a brand new sealed can filled with real beer. There was even the pop sound of a sealed can opening when he opened it. The picnic goer then tasted the “new” can of beer with a bewildered face, laughing and amazed at the same time. In another trick, he somehow made this passerby's watch appear in a shop's display behind a glass window without her knowing. After that he took a newspaper, put it against the glass window; extend his hands through the newspaper and glass window and took out the watch. Wow.

Friday!!

Went to play snooker after work yesterday, ended work at 5.30pm and was supposed to meet them at 6pm, but i expected them to be late so i stayed at my carpark to meddle with the handlebar hehe.

This week at Bata, 2 IT managers from India is here to learn more about our POS system. I love it when they are here because lunch is always free when these guests are around. And we will eat pretty nice food too. But my 2 colleagues always choose Sakura or Magic Wok, boring. The food is nice however and morever it's free so i shouldn't complain. One bad thing when these monkey craps are here is that they will be in the same room as me and i can't surf net and chit chat freely without having to hide. Here in my blog i call them monkey craps, but in my logbook i have to go "These IT managers are nice people and i love to have them around. I get to learn a lot of things from them and getting to know about their country and culture from them is simply amazing".

Will spend my day reformatting another of my colleague's computer. Shall get back to work.

My 1st RA film hehe

Was late again today damn, woke up at 7.50am. Decided to use CTE because I didn’t want to be too late, so I spent $2.50 on ERP and arrived reach the office at 8.20am, luckily not too late.

Slept at 12.30am last night, went to catch Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Puss at Lido. And yes..it’s an RA film, my first ever! Nobody bothers to check hehe. I must say there were indeed a few heart-pounding scenes in the movie but it was overall only an “okay” movie, unrealistic at some point.

The chainsaw psycho could have finished off the lead actress at some point but it’s always so heng that he trips or the engine of the chainsaw dies. It could have also ended early if she had been smart enough to pick up the chainsaw when the psycho dropped it and he was distracted by her friend, instead she just pounced on him beating him with her bare hands or run around screaming, not like that helps. Killing was gruesome and sometimes you feel for the victim, you will freak out imagining his/her pain This chainsaw psycho is not the only psycho in the whole town, the whole family is involved. Papa acted as a sheriff pretending to help the 5 friends in need because this hitchhiker had shot herself in their van (The aftermath of the shot was gross, can see her brain etc all blown up). A small boy, also part of the family initially led them to the “killing house” but in the end helped the lead actress escape. The sister, mummy etc etc are all also psychos but didn’t do anything much. Don’t think I should tell you guys the ending, in case some of you decide to watch it.

Before the movie, went to walk around orchard with puss intending to get a new water bottle. There are indeed some very nice designs out there but the price isn’t too appealing, so I’m still scouting around for one. Puss then went to Kinokuniya to buy books. While there, I saw my colleague, she just knocked off and was there to buy books to prepare for a presentation tomorrow….poor thing.

Last night, the handling of my bike feels weird, like the handle bar is not straight or not stable. Not sure if I should bring it to the shop again..sigh. But I don’t really trust my bike shop nowadays, I feel they I’m a carrot head to them and they just love to chop me. I shall not go back to them anymore hehe.

Must think of ways to pass my day now.

Wednesday

Was watching the SARS show on channel 8 9pm yesterday, they re-enact the SARS period what those health workers, victims and normal people do. They kind of exaggerated though, throughout the whole crisis period, I had never put on a mask at all before. Although there was temperature taking all around and my aunt cooked this “anti-SARS” soup for me once, it was just like any other day to me hehe. Maybe I’m lucky maybe I’m bo chup, glad the epidemic is controlled.

After that i caught never been kissed yesterday but feel asleep watching it halfway. Its a nice show that i have watched before a few years ago.

Did nothing much yesterday, spent the whole day in the office formatting my colleague's computer. A lot of shit to do after formatting, install softwares, drivers, network etc etc.

That day when i went to Plaza Singapura with Sam, this girl from the bike forum saw me and her and asked if it was me, to think i never even see her before and she had never seen me before except for my pictures on the blog! Haha Singapore is indeed small. Anyway she's an aspiring Vespa rider that seeked my advice the other time haha.

My colleague told me yesterday that if i work longer in Bata i'll take over Mr Phua (My IT manager) wahahaha, what nonsense. Have a new section to add to my POS user guide this week, going to have work to do woohoo!

1st Dec 2003? Damn i really ran out of titles for my posts

I forgot to mention something that I did last Saturday, I want to jot it down so I can read back what I did this day years down the road, this is my public diary hehe.

After I lost my hp, me and weijian went to Changi Airport. We wanted to go there see aeroplanes and walk around (it can be quite fun you know). The journey there was pretty long, my hands ache pulling the throttle for so long. I parked at T2’s carpark and it’s amazing that there were still so many bikes at the carpark at that time (2-3am?). T2 was quite dead, no movement of aeroplanes and not many people. So we decided to walk the long stretch of road to T1, we took turn to push each other on a trolley that was left idling there. T1 had more activities going on at that time as most international flights are based there. After seeing enough aeroplanes and having enough fun, we wanted to take the Skytrain back to T2 but service has stopped (1.40am for those that don’t know), we then walked back that same stretch of long road and headed home.

Yesterday

I bought a new phone, it’s the same motorola v60I that I had used before. Got it for $180, considered cheap liao since it’s brand new (She won it from some lucky draw). The plastic protector is still around the phone, I don’t want to take them off yet, might consider selling it soon hehe. I like my old phone a lot, I miss the torchlight, the loud alarm, the durable surface, the easy messaging, the fm radio and the flip I used to play with underneath. Sigh……

Met Sam after work yesterday after meeting the seller of the v60I. We then went to PS to get my new sim card, this time transaction was smooth. It’s the first time I had parked in PS and I must say it’s quite convenient, the carpark leads straight to the mall. After that we went to far east plaza because Sam wanted to collect her ic photos. But to her horror, the place was closed. We decided that we should have dinner upstairs, I had claypot hokkien mee while she had claypot yi mee. Both our food kinda suck, we didn’t enjoy it because it was too hot and it wasn’t too nice.

Movie was supposed to be next on our itinerary but decided against it because there wasn’t a nice show to watch and we were both tired. Anyway I had wanted to watch brother bear while she had wanted to watch Duplex. As usual our frequency wasn’t the same and the result is quite obvious.

I sent her back, went to meet Dom to return his ic and went home after that. I miss not having my radio with me when I’m in the office, I miss not having my water bottle too (oh I lost it too), now I’m taking mineral water from the office’s fridge everyday but supply is running out soon. Meiwen, weilun can get another one? Hehe

Add on

Did you read the BK’s ad on today’s TODAY? “Free mini CD & handphone with any upsized BK value meal”. How ironic.

Oh ya I forgot to mention something about yesterday. As I parked my bike along the pavement behind PS and went to meet puss, I left my keys on the bike! I only realised after me and puss went back to the bike wanting to go to expo! Damn why am I so forgetful nowadays?!

What a freaky weekend!!

Friday night

Shengxian, Valencia, Laijin, Shawn and Sam came to my house for FYP discussion. Most of them were late and we managed to start at only around 9. We ordered KFC for dinner and after discussion and dinner, we all left. They were on their way home and I was on my way to meet Bernerd to play snooker. This is the first time I played since more than a month ago and I haven’t lost my touch yet hehe. Went for supper at Punngol Nasi Lemak Coffeeshop again and didn’t reach home till around 4am. What a long night.

Saturday

Woke at in the afternoon at around 3pm. Waited at home for Sam coz she was supposed to accompany me to my cousin’s 21st birthday. But she was out with mingli and xiaowen. I waited till 6+ and was so bored I decided to go to Lim Ah Boy to buy some apparels. I bought a bike cover and a pair of gloves hehe. The bike cover is so huge I wonder where I’m going to stuff it when it gets wet.

Ok so I met up with Sam at around 8+ and reached my cousin’s party at East Coast Costa Sands at around 9. All the bikes at the carpark there were beautiful I must say. Wonder why all of them were there. Had dinner there but didn’t eat much even though I didn’t had anything to eat since I woke up at 3pm coz the food weren’t really my cup of tea. We played mahjong awhile with my cousins and left there at around 10.30pm. I sent Sam home and went on to meet Weijian to play lan and have supper hehe.

Ok here’s the climax of the weekend that really spoilt it. While having Burger King at beach road, I took out my handphone to reply pussy’s msg. Since I was eating my burger, I put it down on the table after replying my msg. Chatting chatting chatting we finished our meal. We stood up and went to play lan for around one hour. After finishing lan I realised I didn’t have my handphone with me!! Used weijian’s phone to call but it was all too late, someone has off the phone. Dammit, one of the worst thing that can happen to anyone just happened to me. It can really be a hassle losing one’s handphone and my heart aches knowing I have to spend again! We thought and thought and finally concluded that I had left my phone at BK. Went back to ask and the manager was blasting some techno, this BK outlet has become Canto. Anyway she acted blur when I asked, walked around the outlet awhile and said she didn’t find it. Before that she was flirting with these 3 Indian cleaners, how weird, she’s chinese. Ok anyway I’m quite convinced one of the staffs took it since we were the last customers leaving the outlet that night. Reached home at around 3+ I guess and called Starhub to suspend my line. F*cking BK, I’m going to boycott it for awhile.

Sunday

Met up with pussy at Plaza Singapura. He wanted to give me his old V60 but the antenna was spoilt so we were there at Motorola Service Center. We were quoted $86.60 to change the thing. I don’t think it’s worth since the phone is already quite old.

After that, I decided that I wanted to go Starhub to replace my lost sim card. I rode my bike wanting to go to Cuppage Plaza. So I parked at this open area carpark opposite Centrepoint. The carpark was slightly jam and this proved to be a blessing in disguise. I realised that all the bike lots were occupied and decided that I should park at the double yellow line. But as I was packing up to leave, HDB umbrella woman appeared behind me! Woah! What a time to appear! I quickly got back on my bike pretending I was waiting for someone to leave. And that very moment, an angel appeared. I didn’t have any parking coupon with me and I wanted to buy one from him. He had one and gave it to me FOC. What a nice guy. So I took his lot and put my coupon. Safe at last.
No this is not the last. When we walked to Cuppage, we were told by the security guard that Starhub has shifted to Plaza Singapura! WTF?! We just came from there! So fine nvm, thinking that I escaped an expensive summon, I happily decided to walk back to PS. While walking, me and pussy’s imagination ran wild. We thought of all the possibilities of what might have happened if we knew Starhub was at PS, umbrella woman didn’t appear at that moment, the biker didn’t want to leave at that time, and there wasn’t a slight jam at the carpark. Is this kharma or is this fate?

So we reached PS’s Starhub service centre. My line is under my mum’s name and I was told that I need to write an authorisation letter to get my sim card. So I asked the counter for a blank piece of paper and wrote our authorisation letter there. I forged my mum’s signature and tadah, an authorisation letter. But at the counter, this stupid himbo told me the letter wasn’t formal enough and I needed my mum’s ic to collect the sim card on her behalf. Shit them, whats wrong with them, if I can come out with my house’s address, phone number, mum’s ic number etc accurately of course I know my mum right. Now I can’t get back my number today. Argh…come to think of it, I will lose all my contacts. So people if you don't mind you can leave your handphone number here in the comments so I can store them?

At around 3 – 4, me and puss went to Sitex 2003 at Expo, pussy wanted to get a new computer. We reached there at around 4.30pm, the carpark was super jam, you could see the queue on the main road waiting to enter the carpark. But afterall I’m a bike, I’m minimally affected. There were lots of bikes there (many nice ones too), but I didn’t had much trouble finding a place to park. I sat on a Honda Goldwing parked there because I wanted to see how it feels, it was super duper huge and damn comfortable of course. The bike has a mainstand which was amazing considering the weight, I wonder how the rider puts it up on its mainstand or get it down.
Ok so we entered the exhibition, it was packed but quite ok. There were sexy babes at some booths wearing skimpy clothings and showing lots of skin and cleavage….woah. New strategy of IT companies to attract customers, don’t really appeal to me though. At least I won’t buy something just because they show me some cleavage. What’s the big deal about cleavages anyway, there are more than 1 billion of them everywhere in the world hahaha. I really wonder why men are fasinated by them, ok I’m a man too, I’m fasinated too but I don’t know why wahahaha.

Okok how come I’m always going off topic. Puss walked around and decided on this model that was value for money. Called his friends, mother, sister and discussed with them. They decided it was ok and the sister decided that she wanted to come down to pay for the computer using her credit card so that she could accumulate points. They reached at around 6.30pm. We were both famished by then but looking at the queue to buy BK (BK?!), we decided against buying. So they entered the exhibition hall and went straight to the booth with the computer pussy wanted, they bargained and bargained wanting to get a free speaker. The store refused and they debated and debated, both side wouldn’t budge so we walked off. They went to other booths but couldn’t find a better offer. By this time, the queue at BK has shorten and we decided we should sit down and eat something. (Ok I have no choice, there’s only BK and orange julius at Expo, of course eat BK lah!)

After eating we went back to the same booth. They decided they wanted to buy that model but wanted to bargain somemore since it’s the last day and the exhibition will be closing soon. They continued doing it for another half an hour I guess but they still wouldn’t budge. So pussy and family finally gave it, in the end they got nothing free except for 3 mousepads….wahahaha. It was already 9.15pm by then, although the exhibition has closed, it wasn’t over for us. There was a lucky draw going on and the queue was freaking long! Anyway puss decided he didn’t want to give up his lucky draw so he queued. Took about half an hour in all I guess. We left at around 9.45 and I reached home at around 10.30. What a long night again. Watched abit of Chelsea vs Manu and fell asleep with the score 1-0 to Chelsea. (I still don’t know the final score while typing this.)

I woke up at 7.45am this morning and I’m supposed to start work at 8am! Oh no! This will be the first time I’ll be late for work. I arrived at 8.30am, luckily didn’t get a scolding or what. My colleagues were just worried since I had never been late before and they couldn’t get me on my handphone. I paid $1.50 for my ERP today instead of the usual $0.25. The punishment for waking up late…………………bad bad weekend + Monday morning…sob.
