Saying

Met up with my church friend Eunice for lunch at Raffles places yesterday because she works there. Haven seen her for more than a year now. It has really been a long time. After that i met Reloo for a movie, the new police story. And you know what..i just watched the show the day before with wayniest. Luckily i didn't have to pay to watch the 2nd time because Reloo's gf's dad works for GV. But still i had to watch the same show twice in 2 days. The show is ok with lots of actions. Catch it.



Met up with horse, bear and ah teck for a drink at millenia walk last night. Chatted and drank till around 2am before we left. Already met up with many of my friends before enlisting. I dunno why but how come everybody feels like i'll be gone forever? Haha.

I'll be back soon...maybe next week because i heard that confinement week is taken away isn't that just great?

"Last" weekend

Will be enlisting this coming wednesday, finally the day is drawing near. Had been waiting for like 5 months? Will obviously be hoping that i'll enjoy life there. Will be meeting friends for a meal or 2 a few days before i go botak.

Spent a few hours there sleeping haha. I was then woken up by a phonecall...guess by who? My ex-driving instructor. I wonder what he's up to calling up and asking how i am...probably keeping up customer relations? Anyway i didn't really like him while learning...and i had to fail twice before passing the third time under him. All these years i've never introduced any of my friends to him and don't intend to...they'll be better off learning somewhere else haha.

Met up with a few of my poly classmates yesterday at east coast chalet for some small gathering and also sham's birthday. Was there for only awhile because sam had to go home early to rest for her flight this morning. Her flight came when she's on standby mode and unfortunately she had to be called up. This flight to London will be 5 days long and that also means she won't be joining me in tekong :( . But well i'll see her when i book out on weekends.

Oh i watched dodgeball the other day. Quite an ok show with many laughable scenes and moments. Will be meeting wayniest later for another movie..probably police story. Will want to catch white chicks before wednesday too haha...i'm going to be so so broke.

Back!

Haven been updating my blog for the longest time. Anyway for the past days that i haven been posting i watched Harold and Kumar, found out my carrot head got chop again, completed my last day of work and the highlight i went to KL and Genting for 3 days!

Went there with my ex-classmates Henry and Darien by train. The train ride there was terrible because it was long, frustrating and tiring. Half the time the train was travelling less than 50km/h and Darien had to object getting the higher class tickets where we will each have a bed to sleep on. In the end we ended up in economy class and although the seats are like any other coaches, the journey was 3 times as long! By the time we FINALLY reached KL, it was around 8+am and when we saw Macdonalds at the station, we rushed in and had our fill.

We then took a cab to our hotel. It was a budget hotel, only 88RM a night...very affordable for the 3 of us who are all feeling poor. After slacking for awhile and walking around, we then went to genting in the afternoon. The cable car ride up the highlands was breathtaking. We were above the clouds half the time and the weather there was good. We had fun at their themepark but not their casino. We managed to sneak in although 2 of them were underage using the excuse of "never bring passport". They checked mine and ok we're in. Turned out to be not a good thing. We each came out 50RM to play (min stake per game is 25RM by the way). We decided to play blackjack but weren't too sure of the rules. We embarrassed ourselves many times. There was once this guy had 2 ACES and he split, thinking we could place bet on him too we put our chip on the table and got the "OEII" from him. We also got some nagging from people because we played alternate games thus spoiling their luck? Whatever the case, as expected we lost everything within half an hour and duly walked out disappointed. Had dinner at Kenny Rogers back at KL, which was reasonably cheap and went back to our hotel after that.

Day 2 was an all KL day. We went to Times Square and there's a nice themepark in there. The roller coaster in there looks so damn tempting but apparently i was the only one of the three tempted so we didn't go in the end. Shopping there was boring as there's nothing much to buy. After that we took the Monorail and then LRT to central market and chinatown where they bought most of the stuff. I came back empty handed because i was on a very tight budget haha. In a pet shop at KL, we saw a very cute dog. His name is Fook Fook and he cost 3500RM...i wished i had the money to buy him haha. He looks like a small fat teddy bear on 4 legs haha, we took a photo of him..will post it up when Henry send it to me.

Day 3 was reserved for Sunway Lagoon. Sunway Lagoon is a nice place and it is reasonably big. But they didn't have many rides and within 2 hours we got bored. We took certain rides all over again and had a swim till 5.30pm. We then went to the Sunway shopping centre for our last shopping trip before going home. Sunway shopping centre is really big too and there are many more things to buy there than City Square. Train ride home was really comfortable because we got ourselves a bed. I slept throughout and here i am energetic and ready to go out again!

3 Extreme

Slept till around 1.30pm yesterday and went for my motorbike lesson. Its lesson 3 for me already which is the last lesson for class 2A. Lesson 3 is evaluation and they failed me...24 points...points for wobbling..not checking blind spot..wrong technique..forgetting to cancel signal...wth man. Next lesson will be this coming saturday..they better not fail me. Oh and i forgot to mention...i missed the test date of 28th Sept! I was too slow for that...it could have been a dream test date..passing just before i enter NS on the 29th...haii...the next test date will be 2nd Nov...hope i can take leave during bmt and make it.

After the lesson i went to play soccer with my church friends at Bishan Park. I finally got myself a new pair of soccer boots. Cost me $80...the cheapest Nike i can find in sportslink that looked pleasing enough for my eyes haha. I scored a hat-trick that day so i'm quite pleased haha.

Went home to rest before meeting Sam for a movie. We caught 3 Extreme. Didn't know it was R-21 till someone mentioned..i think it was henry or valencia. After watching it, i have to agree with the R-21 restriction. There were many many many bloody scenes and a few scenes of groaning, breasts, caressing etc.

There were 3 short stories in the movie. The first one Japanese followed by the Hong Kong one and then the Korean. The japanese one was about a girl who accidentally got her twin sister killed because of an act of jealousy. The show hardly made sense and i'm sure many of you will fall asleep here.



The Hong Kong one is about dumplings. Dumplings made from baby foetus. They believed that it can keep one young, pretty and attractive always. Mariam (above) is a former actress who is slowly losing her husband's love. She seek the help of the woman who makes the dumping. The woman got the foetus of a girl who was raped by her own father. Its hard to comprehend what happened at the end but the girl died after the abortion and the mum killed the father. And in the end Mariam used a stick to poke her vagina in the bathtub to kill her own baby when she was pregnant. Don't understand? Nvm.

The Korea one is argubly the best of the lot. An innovative storyline and also a very bloody one at that. No ghost no spirits no devil just a pyscho killer. Too bad you guys can't pay 1/3 of the price just to watch the korean one and will have to tahan the first 2 especially the Jap one just to get to here..definitely not worth. Don't catch it unless you're bored lah.

Got a real headache in the office today for quite some period...i wonder if it has anything to do with that carpark barrier or lack of sleep...hmmm

Shitty weekend? 50-50 lah

It was Sam's birthday yesterday. She stayed over at my place and left around afternoon wanting to go meet up with a guy that's renting me his Renault Scenic for the day. I've rent a car from him before and when he didn't turn up after us waiting there for half an hour, i was puzzled yet pissed. And one car park up down barrier shit had to make the day worse. When i was walking past it, i was messaging someone on my phone...then all of a suddenly "PANG"..that shitty thing hit my head. Sam was walking in front of me and i was just following her footsteps. I had to be so unlucky to be at that place at that time...it was quite painful. That shitty thing went up after hitting my head and went down again.

We then left for Balestier wanting to go for lunch. On the way there my phone rang, the car rental guy's brother called. That guy has supposingly been admitted to hospital that morning and that's why he didn't reply my messages, answer my calls or turn up.

We then went to Balestier's Loy Kee chicken rice store for lunch. That place is shitty. The chicken for 2 people was pathetic and more than half of it was bones. I then dropped her with her parents to go meet wayniest to buy her birthday gift. We then met up with puss at Sim Lim and we walked around for quite some time for a bargain and finally found one. I hope didn't get cheated lah. The camera is real slim and really handy. Its smaller than any of our wallets, i wanted to keep it for myself wahaha.

A pic of the camera i bought. Casio Exilim S-20.



We then continued walking this time from bugis village then to suntec then back to sim lim again for my bike. Can you imagine the tiredness on our legs after that. We then went to Sam's auntie's house for her birthday, it was nice seeing everyone again. My gf had a nice birthday with no sabos or anything..just nice ang paos and presents haha.

After the birthday celebration we all went for a movie at Lido. The late night movies at Cine are all almost full house, but the ones at Lido are nearly empty. Anyway we caught The Terminal.



The show is alright, only that many of the scenes were exaggerated. But there were sure many hilarious scenes. And i didn't know the film was by Steven Spielberg...cool cool worth watching. Try not to miss it. Cheers you up.

AVP

Was so bored at home the whole afternoon yesterday. Was supposed to go clubbing at Shanghai Sally and i jio my marist friends...but one by one they are all getting busy. In the end only 1 or 2 were keen so i didn't go too.

I then managed to find cheap bird weijian to go out with me. Met him in town and we walked around. Walked from Pacific plaza to Cuppage plaza just to decide on a place for dinner haha. Finally settled for a small thai food koisk at Orchard Point...cost me $7.60 for a bowl of tom yam soup and a plate of rice...dammit..my carrot head got chop again. After dinner we met Puss at PS and cheap bird left shortly after because he was supposed to meet his friend for cycling. But after he left his friend messaged and said he couldn't make it hahaha...wassup with putting ppl's aeroplane nowadays..is it a new trend?

I then went to Great world city with puss to watch Alien vs Predator. Well...not a bad show...at least there's action. Predator is supposed to be God and is worshipped by humans in the past. Earth is like a pulau tekong to them...they used human to breed aliens so that their predator warriors could be trained to kill and to maintain their superiority. The show ended in such a way that a part 2 will certainly be filmed.



After the movie we went the the roadside hawker opposite centrepoint for supper. We soon left for home. The end.

Meh Meh

Meh Meh revealed his true colours today...i never thought what's behind that innocent chubby face is this.

Nick: "So what is your type of girl?"
Meh Meh: "Well...she must be open...willing to open..haha"

Nick: "Haha a 45 years old woman got whacked up by a 22 years old guy at the linkin park concert because she asked him to stop smoking."
Meh Meh: "Haha you can't ask somebody to stop smoking like that. Smoking is like sex...it both involves putting a stick into a hole."

HO! What the?! That's meh meh for you! I thought i was bad wahahaha..this is quite funny.

Anyone watched the school belle and hunk show on channel 8 just now? Stupid show with low standards! The girl winner sucks! So ugly! The other girl looks reasonably cute though. They tried to make the show looks as if they sprang a surprise on them but come on! We're not stupid! So damn obvious they planned everything beforehand... and badly too! The way they chose the winner really cannot make it...
