Weekend well spent

Went for weijian's birthday party yesterday. When i arrived..there were hardly anyone i knew there. Then came along some old marist friends. Throughout some parts of the party he weren't there at all because he went to fetch more friends. Then around 9+ he went off to fetch Mingli who just touched down from a flight. I waited and waited and got so bored i decided to go home haha.

Watched 2 pretty good movies this weekend starting with Coach Carter. Its a movie about a school won't don't do well academically and an average basketball team. Then came Carter who transformed the team with his extraordinary training and rules. He's someone that believes his boys should do well academically before they can play basketball. Along the way he faced many obstacles and criticisms from parents, teachers, students, the public and even the school principal herself. Its amazing how thick skin he is..i would have quit if i were to be treated like that. A show worth watching..



Woke up in the afternoon today and went for lunch with my mum at her favourite japanese restaurant at casaurina road near my place. After that we took a cab to Toa Payoh to watch a movie. Haven't taken a cab for the longest time and i must say i like sitting in a cab..haha i dunno why but it sure is comfortable. Watched Guess Who this time...another nice movie. The movie talks about ashton kutchon who fell in love with a black girl and face the uphill task of meeting her dad who is conservative and is particular about the colour of his daughter's bf's skin. Its a funny and touching movie..certainly another show worth watching...a weekend well spent for me.



Oh btw i changed my blog song again..its currently my favourite song and the first thing i always do when i switch on my com is to activate itunes and play this song...hope you enjoy it..cheers!

Start of a new weekend!

I just got back from my defensive riding course at BBDC. Its only my 2nd time stepping in there today, the first time i went...i went to register for this course. So i had trouble finding my way there haha. And stupid me had forgotten to ask what time the course starts..and their stupid customer service phoneline sucks...always busy and engaged.

Anyway i was trying to find out at their website early this morning and fortunately Dave was online. And coincidentally he just went for the course last thursday and he told me that its starts at 8.30am. It was already 8am and of course i panicked and quickly left home. Reached at around 8.45am and luckily i wasn't reprimanded or not allowed to take the course. Anyway i wasn't the last to arrive..one guy came at 9.30am and he could only collect his cert one hour after us at the end of the day haha. With this cert, i can now ride and park my bike in camp! No more fear of being summoned or anything being stolen!

Met up with Puss and Sam yesterday at Orchard and we went for a movie...Samara. Its a boring show..but both puss and sam agreed that its scary. Its hardly scary to me..i was yawning half the time..don't waste your $6.50 or $8.50 i say. Haha

What a boring sunday!

Alright everyone's gone. Mum left on friday midnight but i didn't go to the airport because i was to meet Sam that night. Sam left on saturday morning. I stayed over at her place and woke up early in the morning at around 6am to accompany her to the airport. We had breakfast there and after they left i left too. Went to BBDC to book my defensive riding course and after i pass that course i can ride and park my bike in camp! No more walking all the way to the neighbourhood opposite! Hooah!

And this morning i woke at 6am too to help my sis carry her freaking heavy luggage down. She told me it weights 32kg wahaha..thats like 2 full battle order.]

So here i am all alone at home with nothing to do and no one to go out with. Cheap bird is playing soccer with his army friends while puss is mugging for his coming exams. Oh Mazi got accepted in Boston University and he said that he might be staying there to work after that? He'll be leaving in August..so bye bye Mazi?

Here i am so freaking bored at home..shall go out later but i dunno where to go. The library is closed now isn't it?

Not surprisingly..i didn't watch any movies this weekend haha. But i did watch Black Hawk Down which i downloaded. While watching the show stopped abruptedly. Its only then that i realised that its one part 1 of the show..dammit man..now i won't be watching the ending till maybe weeks later.

Downloading Enemy at the Gates now..remember that sniper show? Nice!

They're all leaving

My mum's going to China for vacation this friday, my sis is going to India for her attachment this sat...sam's going to Bangkok this sat too...they're all leaving me one by one haha. My ah kor will be moving back to her place during this period when nobody will be at my house. So when i book out this weekend i'll be all alone at home! How sian..at least i have nicky to keep me company haha.

I am in the lab now learning asp...i don't know a shit..i don't know how to link my database..i shall switch off and surf the net..Hooah

Its my life

You won't believe what happened to my bike. Nah its not what you think. But i spent the whole of last night trying to unlock my bike's handlebar and start the engine. Horsey even came by and tried. We didn't succeed and i even went back this morning to try again for another 15mins..to no avail again. I had no choice this time but to ask the former owner for help. He never had such problem before but he's a nice guy and he came to help. I went to Cantonment Complex to fetch him (He's an nsf working in CID) and made my way back to where i park my bike near horsey's place. He couldn't do anything too but he had many contacts so we got a tow truck to tow my bike to lim ah boy's workshop lol.

As the handlebar was locked...it was a super chore to get the bike up the pick up. They had to lift up the front wheel while i pull the bike. And i swear this bike is super heavy haha. At the workshop...all he did was twist and turn..swear some oil and grease..and after around 10mins..my bike's engine went off haha..finally..i was relieved yet puzzled. I actually spent $27 ($17 for tow and $10 for this 'repair' service) and it was done so easily. Anyway most importantly i got my bike up and running again and i can ride it again! I bought 2 side bags to attach to my bike yesterday..now its pretty fat haha..i wonder if i can squeeze again...but it does provide me the storage space i need.

By the time i sent the bike's former owner back in west coast and reach my place..it was already 9+. When i finally reached my doorstep..i realised that i left my key on the bike! God dammit! Imagine that...so near yet so far..i had to go all the way back there to retrieve my key...everything was under my bike cover so i wasn't too worried someone will ride my bike away.

Finally back home and i still had to continue typing my exercise report...i only just finished and my eyes aches like shit. But i'm still here typing and telling everyone of you my experience. Now this is my life.

I made myself busy

After school on friday..i went to my bike shop because i need a guarantor to sign for my bike loan. I got my cousin so he met me there. He's selling some slimming pills and apparently he's earning big bucks. He's getting married at the end of this year..he told me it cost $50000 and he has to pay cash. And he's getting a car at the end of his reservist and i don't know when..but his options are only lexus, mercedes or BMW haha..i wanna be him. He asked me to join him in selling that but then i'm no good with sales..and remember that multilevel sales company place bernerd brought me a year back? Its something like that haha.

After signing i sent him back to his workplace and went to meet sam at orchard. Wanted to watch a movie at PS but its full house...which is always the case at PS. I then went home and went to pick her up later for a later show at jubilee. We watched Spanglish..the trailer made it to be a usual Adam Sandler's type of comedy but its actually not so...its emotional and touching at times and there's meaning to the show haha.



And yesterday..i met dave to visit Ah boy but i didn't buy anything..wanted to buy side bags to put on my bike but then he discouraged me against doing that haha. I then went to meet wayniest to go orchard just for a yakitori box for dinner haha. After dinner we went home to watch Manu vs Blackburn..i fell asleep at the 75th min haha...its that boring..and yes the final score is 0-0.

After the match we had to rush to Lido to meet Sham and Henry for another movie..Hostage this time haha..look how busy i made myself. We missed the 1st 5 mins of the show..i don't know how he failed as a negotiator and all..heck it. The show was alright...only a bit unrealistic here and there. Full of maniacs and action though..and it leaves you wondering at the end of it too..till now i don't know who those masked men were and whats in the dvd.
