Our Decisive force!

OMG did anyone watch the army show on channel 8 just now? Army looks so damn fun! I think its gonna be a really fun and exciting adventure. Tekong looks nice and the army school looks like a country club! I think its going to be like Outward Bound School...can't wait can't wait!

WTF..Cat idol?

Its irritating living beside a primary school...especially a dodgy one. Was awaken early this morning at around 7+am by singings...awful singing. I can't remember what was the first song i heard in my dreamy mode...but shortly after..some boys were singings the national day song Home by Kit Chan. I mean what the...national day is like 3 weeks ago..what is Catholic High up to i asked myself.

I looked out the window and saw a stage with small boys performing. On the stage clearly states....CAT IDOL. WTF idol fever again. And what a song to choose for a singing competition...Home?

Haha anyway i watched on for awhile and witnessed many lousy smallboyband wannabes performances. Can't they let me have a nice good sleep. But you have to be impressed by their thick skins and guts. When i was their age i had stage fright...maybe even now too..but better abit. Moreover, they are embarrassing themselves in front of their friends, schoolmates and teachers. These embarrassing moments stay in our mind forever. Remember Singapore my home and kungfu fighting follow marists? LOL

Had dinner with Sam yesterday before going on to watch Bourne Supremacy yesterday. Was at the booth at 8.35pm but i bought the 9.30pm show haha...because i didn't see that there's an earlier show at 9pm. Anyway it's a very confusing show and if you don't concentrate you can get really lost. I wanna watch Alien vs Predator...who's game?

Monday!

Anyone read newpaper today? There's a new kind of danger for motorcyclists on the roads. Kites! A motorcyclist was actually cut by a kite string while travelling down ECP. The papers had a pic of a long cut across his chin. And there was a small report on motorcyclists being killed in Pakistan and Malaysia by kite strings. Hard to believe but real. Many of them were cut deep at the throat and killed...gross but real. Looks like full face helmets need to be protect our necks too.

My colleague bought Dim Sum for us today. One of my colleague Evelyn was offered a Ha Gao (Prawn dumpling) but she kindly declined. Out of the blue, one of my male colleagues suddenly said Eve cannot eat Ha Gao because she's old...eat too much will become Lao Gao. I might not have put it in a funny way but when my colleague said it...we all burst out laughing...luckily i didn't choke on my Ha Gao haha.

Saturday!

Enrolled for my Class 2A course online after 12 last night that's because that's when they allow me to enrol..exactly one year later. SSDC had sent me a letter asking me to take my lessons with them...want to die! Lucky my mum don't open my letters haha.

Had park my bike in my estate's carpark the night before and got another summon! Dammit how unlucky can i get..another $25...arGHH..

Okay so i went for my 1st lesson today..rode the super 4. It has been a long time since i rode a manual bike. Needed some getting used to. The riding position was also very different from my scooter...i had to lean forward and bend lower. But it sure was fast and the engine sounds fantastic.

I didn't expect to pass my lesson 1st time and i didn't. I wasn't very good at the figure 8 and crank course. But the instructor told me my weak point is the bumpy course. I need to ride through the bumps slowly and clock at least 8 secs...i had thought that i need to clear the bumps within 8 secs! Dammit...how blur can i get...thats why i failed the lesson...nvm i hope i can pass it on my 2nd try.

Music

Just finished watching Singapore Idol. Don't like the fact that the judges are trying too hard to Simon Cowell. Somehow Singapore Idol isn't as good as American Idol. The music isn't good and the singing isn't loud enough. There's no atmosphere on stage everything look dull..even the audience.

I guess the 3 to go into the next round are Olinda, David Teo and Jeassea...pretty obvious right? Haha don't flame me if i get it wrong though. I don't think i'm going to waste 50 cents calling or smsing to vote.

And i finally realised why Dwayne Tan look so familiar. He was one of the performer at Igors the night i went. I miss the performances and singing there..i think it's so much better than Singapore Idol..the money i paid was well spent. Pity Dwayne chose the wrong song..i think he's going out. But then they'll be 3 chosen contestants from each round right? And there's supposed to be a top 10..i think he'll be the trump card or something? Haha.

Do certain songs give you memories? Or even remind you of a place or person? For me, S Club 7's Have You Ever remind me of the days i take the bus to my former school Temasek Polytechnic. And PetShop Boy's Go West reminds me of Hougang South..known as Kovan now...haha don't ask me why. Oh one more...All 4-One's I swear reminds of of my holiday in Australia Brisbane when i was in primary 5! lol

The standard of music has become bad recently..is it because we download too much? Love smoothing love songs...but where to find new ones now...haii...



Rain rain go away

Had dinner at Sakura in Toa Payoh with my family and sam to celebrate her birthday early. The funny thing is i wasn't aware that the purpose of the dinner was for that. The food was alright...a large variety but not everything is nice lah. Had my share of sashimi..lost interest in raw oysters though.

After dinner sam, me and my family parted. Sam wanted to walk around and get some hair clips and hair net. I kept rushing her to go home because a downpour might be approaching, she dilly dallied but still couldn't get the stuff she wanted. On the way home...my worse fears came true. It started to rain. After i drop her off...it started raining cats and dogs. My visor got fogged and i can hardly see anything..but the worse thing is feeling all wet and heavy.

Anyway i was already wet so no point stopping somewhere to seek shelter right? And moreover i wanted to get home soon and i'm feeling tired. Along AMK ave 1 somewhere...the rain suddenly stopped. One side was pouring and the other side was dry. But by the time i've already become a souped chicken. My jeans were so heavy i can hardly walk properly haha. Stupid rain...ok now i want a car. I can take my class 2A this coming sat...woohoo!

My Weekend

Watched Collateral with Sam and my mum after dinner on friday. Well the show had an exciting end to it but its pretty ridiculous. Tom Cruise could still stand up, walk, shout and run even after being shot on the face. But i heard this show is based on a true story...really? Anyone knows?



Hmmm don't really have the mood to type more today. Might edit later if i suddenly have the mood.

The twins effect

Watched The twins effect yesterday with Sam, i have to mention that this is one of the lamest movie ever filmed. The whole show was about how this twin found her bf having an affair with her twin sister because the bf thinks that her sister was her. She started hating all men and when she managed to be queen of the country..she made women the more powerful sex and all men as slaves and toys.

Then comes Crouching tiger hidden dragon, a warrior whose duty is to protect Jackie chan's equally big nosed son because he is the one who can dethrone the evil queen. They then set out on their journey to find this excalibur which is supposed to be able to assist him in doing it. Its a super lame show..the evil queen even had one spell which make all men grow breasts when there's a full moon...haha how corny is that..hahahaha.

There were many stars starring as extras in the shows. But its a good show if u want to see some babes...many of them were hot..including the evil queen wahaha. Conclusion...don't watch it unless your mummy, daddy, gf, bf, friends or dog dump you and leave u alone to bore to death. Its the type of comedy that makes you laugh at their stupidness rather than the jokes.



Anyway, i want to mention meh meh again. Bloody fatty make me lose money yesterday. I had already decided to go home and not bet yesterday but he had to drag me the spools and as usual i couldn't give in to temptations and i lost money in the end. Bloody fatty fatty...i understand that its not entirely his fault but i can't help but scold him wahahaha...fatty fatty. Stupid meh meh!

Work

I got this job through a marist friend of mine fishy..he has since left the job because he's flying off to the states soon for studies. Ever since i've started work here..i've been betting non-stop lol.

Here i got to know another guy..also a temp..also a graduate from poly. We call him Meh meh..or rather he named himself that..reason why he tried explaining but i just don't get it lol. Anyway he's rather pityful...he's always being aimed by the staff there. Since the start of work here, he has been given black faces and lousy work by fellow colleagues in his department. Just today while signing our time sheet...his boss told him that one female colleague has told him that he has been coming in late for work...9.30am..when we're supposed to start work at 9am. And of course he had to take away half an hour away from his OT which means $5+.

The weird thing is fishy has been working here for so long and coming in late so often and yet no one paotoh him. Colleagues can even joke and laugh with fishy but not meh meh. And meh meh isn't exactly a bad guy you know..he talks to everybody and is a chubby blur guy haha. Only thing is half the time i don't understand what he's trying to say. Anyway 90% of the staff come in late..including myself of course and no one says anything..he had to be the unlucky one haha.

During lunch time today, it was raining...so we decided to take a shelter way out of the building. We ended up at one exit door we thought we could use. I pushed it and goddammit the security alarm started to ring..it rang so loud everyone around the building started staring at us. I was so embarrassed but also partly amused. The stupid old malay security guard had to give me a nagging and took down my ic number..anyway nothing happened...but it sure gave me a shock for awhile.

This job is fine...the work is easy and not tiring. I even get to chat and surf the net quite often. This is one job i don't dread going to early in the morning...time passes quickly there and i'm glad for that. Can't say the same for meh meh though..that poor sheep...all he does is filing and sorting huge stacks of documents throughout..i pity him. If you read this fatty cheer up k..tahan 1 more mth..i'm with u ;)

Alright how about channel 5...same shit..central? same shit..CNA? same shit..channel U? same shit..I? Same shit..there's nothing to watch other than that. Okok its a big thing..once at least every 10 years...but its boring..and the president is nothing but an accountant and puppet. His whole speech was on how Mr Lee chose istana for the ceremony..Mr Lee this Mr Lee that..haha..that shows his power. (Oh no will i go to jail for this?)

National day and post national day activities?

Met up with my marist friends jackie, teck and barthez on national day night in town to chit chat and slack. I had a chicken cutlet and we all shared an earthquake at swensens haha. That was actually how i spent my public holiday...played a little bit of soccer in the morning with church friends though.

Just yesterday i met up with more marist friends again. This time horse, jackie, fishy, bear and gf. We had dinner at the new food street beside specialist centre. They don't serve food there...you have to queue for it yourself..we played open numbers and i was the lucky one in charged of looking after the table. The food there was alright..not exactly special...don't bother queuing if the queue's too long or if you're famished.

While walking at cineleisure..i saw 4 of my colleagues..looks like this is a popular hangout place for Hitachi staff.

Just woman just called me just now on my handphone saying i won some consolation prize by signing some form at a supermarket..the thing is..i've done no such thing. The prize consists of an italian watch worth $100+ and 8 days 7 nights stay at Thailand..i think its crap. And fan told me the newspaper actually reported and warned the public of such scams...im thinking if i should go down..if its not a scam then how..haha.

Long story

Went to sam's auntie's house yesterday and watched a movie on vcd together with them. Its a show about organ transplant. The lead woman is sick with some lung disease and badly needs a transplant. But her rare bloodtype AB makes it even very difficult for her to find a suitable donor. To make matters worse, she needs people to die before she can get a transplant.

Her husband loves her very much and desperately wanted to find her a donor but time is against him. The max his wife can wait is 2 years and it has already been 15 months. He joins the donors club and got to know this woman that can be a suitable donor. He has an affair with her so as to help convinced her. Unfortunately her wife found out about the affair and had a huge quarrel with him. During the argument, while quarrelling his wife accidentally said that "he'll have to kill someone to actually save her life". His husband realized that what she said is true and with his deep love for her..he started planning the murder. He succeeded and his wife got the transplant. The movie ended stupidly with the wife having an affair with another man just to take revenge. After all the things the husband did for her, this is how she repaid him haha. You know what? I don't know the title of the movie.(Since when did i become such a long storyteller?)

While travelling on the CTE today..this stupid old man driver in front of me took 10 full secs just to change lane...piss me off. Unknowningly, i started singing "old man donald had a farm...E YA E YA OH". Haha ok i changed the lyrics a little..i can be cranky on the roads ya know.

Watched the village today...please don't watch it..its crap. Unbreakable was 5 times better..Signs was 10 times better..6th sense was 20 times better. This show is total crap..don't even want to sum it up haha.

Chinatown

Met my mum, my sis and Kok bin for dinner last night. We had dinner at Chinatown point's mouth restaurant. My mum had a 2 for 2 voucher meaning we paid for only 2 people ;). Its a chinese buffet and there are lots of variety...they even served a bowl of buddha jump over the wall..but only one serving for that..can't order more haha. The most expensive dish we could order non-stop is the steam sea bass...but there's always a limit to what you can eat at a buffet..after awhile we were all bloated. I went to the toilet and wash my hands in the middle of the meal and my appetite changed. I saw shit in the toilet bowl and i almost puked...disgusting! AWWW...

Oh my sis and kok bin applied for the pinnacles at duxton and they actually got a unit..haha looks like i've a wedding to attend within the next 6-10 years hehe.
