Kushin-bo

Heard of this jap restaurant? There's actually a commercial on it..Kushin-bo blah blah blah. Anyway went there to eat today with Sam, my mum, my sis and kok bin today. It is a buffet and the food is good. Chawamushi, soft shell crab, loads of sashimi, some hot paper bowl thing called kani kaminabe(yes it sounds vulgar) and lots of others. All these for a whooping $32++ each. Costed my mum $172 at the end of the day....

And geez..i didn't know wednesday is a public holiday till recently..this happens when you have nothing to do everyday and everyday is a holiday to you.

Some pictures from BIT young minds 2004

The day after tomorrow

Caught this movie with Sam today.



Putting a big poster of it to brighten up my blog haha.

Its a movie about the polar ice melting and causing a major climate change in the world. The northern hemisphere of the earth starts flooding and the freeze.

The father walks from Washington to New York in the blazing snow just to rescue his son. They (the actors) could actually run and escape from the freezing temperature just by closing the doors...and there was one part when 3 helicopters were flying and suddenly their fuel starts freezing and the helicopter crashed. Inside the crew weren't affected by the -150F temperature until they open the door...and of course when they open the door they started freezing immediately.

My science teachers lee boredom and sugar soh taught me that temperature only can't travel through vaccuum so come on...make the show more realistic people..we all take science.

Overall, i think the movie is fine. Other than some ridiculous parts, there were scenes of anxiety and some touching moments. Worth catching...watch it during the weekdays though..nick rates 3half/5 lol.

I'm a loner

Went to fetch Sam from from her SIA training today, had thought of going out with her but she was sick, So i fetched her home to rest. I suspect that most air stewardesses are single..is it true? Looks like it to me.

Anyway i decided to go to AMK central for a walk and also have dinner. I loithered around in popular bookshop, read some magazines and walk around at the pasar malam. After that i went to eat my favourite bar chor mee.

I then decided that i wanted to visit my former favourite hangout place...Serangoon North. I used to visit that place 3-4 times a week with bernerd just to look and check for new fishes. The owner of one of the shop we nicknamed mad uncle even recognized me. The first time he said to me when he saw me: "Long time no see!" Its true i haven been there for what seemed eternity now. I don't rear fishes anymore now that i sold my arowana..won't be starting again anytime soon i guess.

Oh and did i mention i only scored 1140 for my SAT 1? God damn..there goes my slim chance of entering SMU.

No more soccer for me today

Was supposed to play soccer with the guys back in temasek poly today at 4. But i was still struggling with my onimusha at 3.30. By then the sky was dark and a rain looks inevitable. But that didn't stop me from leaving home at 3.40 and try to rush down to school. Soccer got the better of me..how dumb i was.

Not surprisingly, just as i was riding off, it started pouring. I decided to make a U-turn and seek refuge at the ESSO petrol kiosk near my house. I bought a delifrance kaya bun and newpaper and sat on my bike waiting patiently for the rain to stop.

By 4.30 i started messaging the rest and i was told soccer is off. God dammit...why didn't i just stay at home..why did i have to leave home when the sky is already so dark? God damn stupid me..now my poor mum has extra wet clothings to wash and i've just wasted more of my precious holiday time haha.

Bloody computer

My computer is falling apart like a lousy DELL. Although its better than DELL, its Sony..its giving me problems after serving me for nearly 2 yrs now. Ok to be fair, actually only the monitor is giving me problems. It started off with a thin black line across it many months back. The following day another black line appeared and a few days later another and another and so on so forth. Its giving me the eye sore and right now as i type, some sentences look cancelled.

To make things worse, the built in speakers on the monitor is also starting to give me problems. Heavier songs will be accompanied by noise disturbance and huge vibration. No more heavy metal no more rock. God damn monitor...i better send it for repair real soon.

Job Lobang

My friend Hilmann told me he had a job lobang. I was told the company deals with live science and IT stuffs. He arranged for an interview with his manager 3pm today. Guess what? While walking there, i realised that it is the exact same place the Bernerd had brought me the last time.

Apparently they had diversify into other businesses other than just selling those dumb magnetic quilts. Without a doubt, i immediately told Hilmann that i've been brought here before. We chatted for awhile and they tried their best to persuade and convince me while i tried my best to not look interested. Inside my heart i just wanted to get out of there real quick.

The methods they use to convince me was exactly the same as the last time..using car, money and good lifestyle. I didn't allow much of their talks to get in my head, i look them in the face and just nod, but the words just go in one ear and comes out from the other.

Here i am back home with nothing to do again. I had better find a job soon, with my present lifestyle, i'm going to die early. I have only one meal the whole day...how healthy is that. God help me.

Fred Durst!

Wow weilun just pointed me to a link..

Here

You people just have to check it out..this blog belongs to the lead singer of Limp Bizkit Fred Durst! Apparently weilun told me that it's not fake and it's linked on the limp bizkit's official website.

Just look at the number of comments on his every posts..can't be fake. A celebrity with time to blog..i'm so amazed *EYEWIDE*

Back

Just back from you know what...mahjong again. Lost around $9...all to sam..never pay her lol.

Bought a bike magazine that day..its god damn cool..there are naked women inside..and there's a classified section for swingers, sex, fetishes, chatlines etc etc..They also used the F-word in some of their articles.


Oh guess what..their sportsbike of the year? The new Yamaha R1...guess it's a really good bike..good reviews from many different magazines.

Been playing Grand Theft Auto 3 on my Xbox recently..god damn cool game. You get to be a mafia, hitman, taxi driver, ambulance driver, punk, sniper, fire-engine driver etc etc all in one game. The missions are fairly interesting but guess what screwed up recently these days...the CD. No matter how many times i tried, the game wouldn't start. Just when i was enjoying it..SHIT.

Gonna play soccer tml 4pm at Maris Stella..who's game?

Shrek 2

Went out with sam, her brother nicholas and her cousin nicole today. We went to watch Shrek 2. We had wanted to catch the 3.30pm show but it was packed, so we chose the 5.05pm one instead. While waiting for our movie, we had lunch before i left them for awhile because i wanted a quick haircut. Found QB whatever at lucky plaza and it was surprisingly packed. I used the new plastic $10 note i had on me and their machine didn't accept it no matter how hard i tried. It was the only $10 i had on me...so i decided to postpone my haircut.

I went to kinokuniya wanting to browse some bike magazines. Guess who i saw there...Bao Zhong aka Chink..oh i mean buozhong..He's my former classmate in Maris Stella and he's going to ORD just like everyone else dammit.

After that i saw Xiao Ji (Small chicken) Roy Tay, another of my former classmate in MSHS. He's no longer "xiao" and he's really broad and muscular just like his smaller brother Charles Tay who is in the same BIT course with me in TP. Anyway Roy disrupted his NS and is sailing for Singapore now..good life yeah...oh and did i mention there are rumours his gf is the recent star search winner? Lucky dick.

After short chats with the two of them separately, i went back to cine to meet sam and the rest for Shrek 2.



Boy was it a god damn funny movie, not the least disappointing like what some lousy newspaper critic rate it to be. People in my threatre applauded for some scenes..for whom i wonder. It was as good as part 1 if not better. It's definitely a must catch movie this year. So, CATCH IT.

After the movie, guess who else i saw. Yet again another ex marist, Phoon Hassan aka Shouye. 3 marists i see in one day, and 2 of them in a bookstore, marists are intellectual? Maybe..lol

I went to play billards in the evening with bernerd and his friend. This time we played number ball and boy did they play big. It was $1, $3 if you understand. I paid $27.50 in total after everything including losses and for the table. I don't think i'll ever play that again..so god damn expensive.

You might think that's the end of my day? Not really...i went to desiree's house to play mahjong with valencia, khenghong, peicheng and desiree. My luck was pretty good with a few chance of 5 doubles but i only managed to game once with it..zi mou somemore. Won $5 at the end of the day...at least i recoup some losses..not too significant though...heart ache :(

My day

Started the day by going for the singapore buddha tooth relic exhibition at expo with sam.



The exhibition occupied 4 halls and it was grand. Entrance is free but there's a lot of things to buy inside of course. It was quite an experience..you guys should just go take a walk although you don't believe.

Later in the evening, i went for a movie. It's Val Helsing. OK it wasn't my choice, my mum wanted to watch it..and morever there's no other movie that i haven caught yet. So Van Helsing it was.



Ok the movie didn't turn out as bad as i have imagined it to be. It's better than dawn of the dead, dracula 2000, supernova and even passion of christ. It was dramatic with lots of nice effects and boobs. Kate Beckinsale looked super hot in the movie but i hate their accent. A pretty ok movie to watch if you're bored, not a must catch though. Miss it if you must. ;)

Feeling sick now..

My curiousity got the better of me this afternoon..i went to download the beheading of Nick Berg by the iraqi militants from Kazaa. Now i feel so sick..initially i had thought that they settled it with one chop..but they actually sliced it bit by bit..now i feel sick..i haven had lunch..but i think i have no need for it now...GOD DAMN

Just back from chionging haha

After a day of work doing despatch again this afternoon..i went home to bathe and rest for awhile before going to sam's house to play mahjong. Played till around midnight before i went home to bathe and change again. After that i met my former sajc classmates edmund, yonghan and chengyu at chinablack to chiong.

The music was alright..a mix of r&b, pop and house? My friend approached this group of 4 girls and introduced himself...only one girl in the group was pretty though..don't worry dar i wasn't the bit interested wahahaha...my friends failed in getting their telephone numbers but managed to get their email address..wahaha.

It was edmund's birthday and we got him to dance at the bartop. The bartenders had initially didn't allow him to go up because guys were not allowed on the bartop...but we managed to persuade them that it was his birthday. While dancing on the bartop they had fun spraying soda water on edmund..he went home soaking wet.

I had to admit..i'm guilty of drink driving again. The journey home was worrisome..i was afraid of bumming into a road block and i'm so glad i didn't..my friend called and warned me of one along stevens road..i avoided that stretch and travelled CTE. I'm not gonna drink and drive anymore..don't wanna lose my license, go jail or worse MATI! **CHOY**

I'm glad i'm home safe and sound...good night everybody..

Another day of work plus Troy

Had another day of work again as a despatch rider..this time sam and me travelled around orchard area and i must say it was really tiring. My haversack weighed at least 5kg with all those brouchers inside can...woah i can feel my shoulders aching and my body growing shorter haha.

Had a well deserved break after a day of work and we caught the latest movie Troy.



Not as nice as i expected it to be. There was no happy ending to it all (opps) and it was somewhat ridiculous at times. One man can determine whether a whole damn army can win a battle. Oh and guess what Weilun and WWE fans...Nathan Jones starred in the movie!!! But as a califiar..haha he super duper extra..he died soon after motivating his army..but he's really huge..

The movie has its share of action and fighting..great to a certain extent...only a 4/5 stars for me..catch it though..

Work again

Had been working continously the past few days. Worked at the hi-fly carnival on saturday but this time it was held in riverside point. To my horror, the day started with them asking us to sell balloons again...i had been told i would be a bouncer. That aside, we finally got to be bouncers late in the evening..guess what...their bouncers are the ones kids jump and hop around in..not the big men we see around pubs..wahahaha..to think i told the girls they only need guys...opps i'm so sorry.

Now i'm doing another job..delivering brouchers for meiwen's aunt's company. I never expected the job of a despatch rider to be so tiring. The extreme heat in the afternoon and the wrong turns made things worse. Covered around 16 locations yesterday and another 18 today...now i look so thai..dark and unrecognisable. Never had my Atlantic been asked to work so hard before..i hope he won't die on me haha..

Oh ya i saw a beauty on the road today...



Hell of a beauty..the BMW 6-series...first one i see on singapore roads...how i wish i can own it..damn

Eventful day

The day started with me and sam sitting for the SAT test...the maths sections of the test were easy...but the same cannot be said for the english sections..there were many vocabs that i didn't know and many hidden meanings behind sentences i didn't understand. I didn't study much for the test but might as well...it didn't need much studying. I'm hoping to do well enough for SMU to consider me.

After that i went to work. I got a temp job working at the Hi fly balloon carnival. I reported early but ended up waiting at the wrong grandstand...but i managed to find the people at last and the first task i was assigned for the day? Sell balloons. I partnered this NTU guy that i didn't know and we managed to sell around 19 balloons ($2 each mind you..for charity though) in around half an hour...not a bad achievement at all...

After that we were told to report to the other tent where they were holding the giant balloons. When we reported there, they told us they only needed one person..so i volunteered...and i'm glad i did. I didn't had to sell balloons again that day and instead i was holding the giant durian balloon with my other classmate zhikai. It was quite an experience parading in front of so many people and walking from the promenade all the way to the merlion park. We felt like we were the centre of attraction with so many people taking our photos (ok..more of the durian balloon rather) and looking at us.

Later that night when i met sam only then i know that i appeared on TV! The news featured my durian balloon and only a few other balloons on the boats..what privilege! Haha but sam said i looked so small on tv beside zhikai...and did i mention this girl helping out at the carnival said i look like a malay? Hmm...

After that the few of us gathered and had dinner together. They chose O'Brien Irish Sandwich Bar (it's ex) but shengxian, zhikai and me opted for Crepes and Cream instead. Met sam at night for a movie...we chose blood brothers in favour of Van Helsing.



Its an ok movie i would say it's not worth the weekend charges of $8.50..watch it on a weekday..

Oh i forgot to mention..i got BBBCC for my final sem..lousy results...what to do...slutty teachers

Back from Batam!

It was the first visit of my life there and i must say Batam isn't really quite how i imagined it to be like. I expected the place to be quite city-like and full of housings..but it turned out to be a place with more forestation than urbanisation. I hardly saw any prostitutes too lol..

We stayed at my friend's uncle's resort called the KTM resort..it was at the end of batam facing singapore and i must say the location is quite good. Despite that we were the only guests in the whole resort the day we arrived. We had special priority since the boss's nephew was with us...everything's cheaper and we got to try everything including their motorcycle. Henry crashed twice lol...

After putting down our luggages we went to do a little shopping and then a massage..it was $10 for one hour...reasonably cheap...got molested but who cares lol. Oh and do you people remember Texas Chicken? Coz i seem to be the only one remembering that fast food chain...they had one outlet there..was so tempted to try but didn't have the chance..next time perhaps. After that we had seafood at a hawker centre..the butter prawns were good. We tried fishing when we went back to the resort but i couldn't even catch a seaweed...henry was the only one that managed to catch a small fish he named morpheus..where did that come from right? Haha. After fishing came mahjong..we played all the way to 6am singapore time and i managed to win $15 hehe.

Dreamt that i bought a new bike that night lol...when i woke up it was raining and it didn't stop till quite late in the afternoon...that meant that our initial planned visit to do some sea sports was cancelled..and we're glad for that coz we would have been broke after that. Played mahjong again before BBQ.

The BBQ was specially prepared for us..we felt like kings and queens...we didn't have to buy, marinate the food or start the fire...everything was done for us although we requested to peng the food ourselves. We had special uninvited guests throughout the BBQ...first came the flies..but when it became dark..they left abruptly...then came the mosquitos..they were the most irritating for all...i counted 20+ mosquito bites just on my left leg alone..can you believe it? It sucks and it itches...

After having our fill...we went to sing karaoke..they ordered 4 jugs of god damn tiger beer and 2 jugs were given free..that means we had 6 jugs of beer. I was feeling sick already after swallowing one mug..beer totally suck..the guys started toasting the birthday girl meiwen and she had around 6-7 mugs before she finally puked...it came abruptly and the ktv room floor was a mess haha. After that i realised that Khenghong's birthday was coming too and suddenly the tables turned and he was NEXT..he got really drunk and started blabbering nonsense..and when we asked him the next day he couldn't remember what happened the night before...it was that bad haha.

The third day was slow too as the two of them were having hangovers. We went for another massage again...this time the girls and the guys had to split coz there weren't enough rooms in one. God damn...my masseuse had bull strength...it was painful but shiok i guess..they were conversing with us with their half past ten english and they said i look like one of their jarkata celebrity. They even suggest that we marry them..have a wife in batam and one in Singapore so we can interchange lol...

After massage it was seafood dinner again before we started heading home..had fun...thanks for the company people and do keep in contact cheers.

SAT

Feeling lazy to study! How!? I can't remember my formulas...and stupid mazi told me my results ain good..sob...how how how...
