This weekend of mine

I didn't manage to watch Lake house on friday. Wanted to but by the time we wanted to get tickets, it was all sold out. Anyone that hasn't watch this show and want to watch it with me?

Wayniest, Puss and i had met up at Saturday afternoon to register for the New Balance Run. It will be held in Sentosa on the 20th August, cost me $25 haha but hope they give me some goodies, i need some new running attire, i'm always wearing the army one. Then we went to Kallang because i wanted to find the Asic warehouse my OC told me about but i couldn't find it...stupid OC. Anyway the highlight of the day was the secondary 2 class gathering at jackie's place in the evening. It was nice seeing everybody after so long, everytime we meet up, we will talk about old times, laugh about the stupid stuff we did and the same old subjects will surface every gathering. Apparently, most of us has recently joined the "singles" club and the only old guard standing tall was Jackie haha. Anyway we had "Zhi Cha" at some coffeeshop nearby, then we went back to Jackie's place for a drowning sorrows session and also hear Dazza talk non-stop about his Bangkok trip.


A class photo before we left


Oh yes i picked up smoking

Met up with Puss again on Sunday and we went shopping around town before catching Lady in the waters at Plaza Singapura. Stupid Puss had misread the time of the movie and we nearly couldn't watch the show. But luckily, we went there early and managed to get 2 seats on the 3rd row. It was quite a boring show, the whole show revolves around this one place, super duper budget, even the director has to act. Anyway, it only cost $8 per tickets because i had my Safra card with me!

Today will be the official last day i'll be a 3rd Sergeant in the army. I'll be promoted tomorrow! I got a cert for it and guess what? I bought the serial number of the cert last saturday and won the starters, a cool $250 to help me pay for my damaged car bumper. A good omen to the start of life as a 2nd Sergeant yeah...i hope so too! I'll be taking my Class 2 TP tomorrow..wishing myself good luck!

Woohoo! Friday!

My cousin has replied me on details of her salsa classes. It will be $65 for 10 lessons, half price because of me! There will be classes everyday from 7.15pm to 8.15pm up to you to choose which day you want to go to. Ermm there will be no need for partners...probably can get one there lah hahaha. Anyway so far i've gathered Weijian, Sam and Ivory, anyone else interested let me know! I'm trying to get more business for my cousin hahahaha.

Went to the country club yesterday with Weijian, Puss and Bernerd. Decided not to run yesterday because by the time we got there, it was already 8.15pm and the pool closes at 9pm. So i went straight to swim together with Bernerd while Weijian went to jog alone. Lazy and aneroxic puss just laid and slacked there because i think he wants to get his fats back haha. After the swim, we went to Changi Airport to eat Sakae Sushi. Something funny happened there.

Puss and i wanted to eat Cha Soba and this is how i asked the waiter:

Me: Excuse me, can i have 2 Cha Soba please
Waiter: 2 Cha Siew Bao? No problem.

At first, i thought that i had heard wrongly and turned to the rest with a puzzled look. But then we all started bursting out into laughter. Thats what i knew that i didn't hear wrongly. We even joked about how he will go all the way to Crystal Jade to get us our Cha Siew Bao. When the Cha Soba came, he repeated: "2 Cha Siew Bao". We all started laughing again in front of him probably embarrassing ourselves. Anyway the Cha Soba at Sakae sucks, don't order it next time unless you're dining at Changi's Sakae and you want to give yourself a good laugh.

Had a 6 hours meeting today. Started at 9.30am and ended at 3.30pm. Super crappy right?! How can anyone talk so long?! That's my boss for you man. Anyway most of the members were prepared and they came with biscuits and all. My OPS Warrant was the most ridiculous, he came in with a bunch of bananas. By around 2pm, he had finished all the bananas and everyone was feeling famished...but our boss just kept going on and on. My DYS3 gave us a good laugh when he asked the OPS Warrant if he could eat his banana skins hahaha. Anyway i'm glad i managed to finish the minutes on time before the last parade and here i am resting at home!

Will be going out later for dinner and probably a movie! I wanna watch Lake House! Oh and it will be time for mahjong later tonight...can't wait to win all their money!

Its Mid week!

Ah yes i'm watching Singapore Idol again. I don't know why...maybe because there's nothing else better to do or watch! Hahaha. Everytime the judges open their mouth, it irritates the shit out of me! None of them ever gives constructive comments! Especially Jacinta! She doesn't even know what she's saying sometimes! And how does she expect us to know what she's saying?! Please take her and them out! Input people like the Flying Dutchman, Glenn Ong or Rod Monteiro in! Hahaha...please don't say i'm bitchy..i just have nothing else to complain about. Oh and you know something? That freaky spastic moron looking Paul Twohill is from my church, his father is even a warden there. Haha wassup with him, and Glenn Ong was making a big fuss on radio today that he's actually going to show his face tonight! Hahahaha.

And speaking of local singing competitions, guess who i saw on the street that day. Ahh actually most of you won't know him lah, he's the winner of the Xiao Yuan Superstar, can't remember his name, but i recognize his gay face wahahahaha. Anyway, nobody recognized him, or maybe nobody bothered about him, he was like any tom dick harry walking along orchard road. Ohoh and i saw Daniel Ong and Jamie Teo together last last week too! They were walking together somewhere near Suntec Cinema. The spastic Daniel Ong was talking to her and smiling at passerbys staring at them hahaha.

Oh and last weekend, i bought the new Gillette M3Power shaver, the one with the motor inside that makes it vibrate. The first time i used it, i bled! Dammit, but luckier it has been ok ever since.

Photobucket

My friend is going to Mambo night tonight, so damn tempting for me! I wanna go too but i have to work tomorrow! Dammit. Oh and guess what?! I kenna guard duty on National Day 9th August!!! Arghh!! My public holiday! When everyone is at home watching NDP, feeling patriotic and all, i'm there serving! Argh...but on the good side, i can actually claim an off day for the guard duty that day hahaha...so not too bad afterall lah ah...luckily i didn't manage to get any NDP parade tickets ah...or else i'll kill my RSM! Haha opps please don't make me the prime suspect if he coincidentally gets killed ah....i was kidding hehe.

Salsa anyone?

How fortunate today! Just when i don't have the mood to run, it rained in the morning! Haha and my 7km run was cancelled...phiew! Haha my title today should be Monday morning rain is falling!

Anyway, recently my cousin asked if i wanted to learn salsa dancing...she's a salsa champion and teacher btw. I've been considering, and Wayniest is quite interested also...might request for probably a free introduction class! Anyone else interested please let me know! I can probably know some girls there too hahaha.

I'll be going to Kallang this weekend to find some Asic shoes warehouse. My OC told me that the warehouse offers Asic shoes at 40% off for all NS personnels! That is so exciting! I need a good pair of shoes especially since i'm running so much lately. Hoho.

Anyway wassup with the bloggers making a big fuss about Miss Singapore's gown at the recent Miss Universe contest yesterday, and even going to the extent of calling her slutty. Since i'm a blogger too i want to join in the fun too! Come on man what is so slutty about that gown. Its god damn sexy lor! And since its a way to make yourself noticed, i say why not!? Crazy people crazy singapore...if you're a caveman please go back to your cave k haha. Oh no i'm getting bitchier.

Sunday morning rain is falling

Had a bad start to my Sunday yesterday! I forced Puss to attend mass with my at Christ the King and attend we did. I picked him up at AMK court's bus stop and we went to church together. While at the carpark, we couldn't get a single lot even after going round and round. I was having a tummyache then and i couldn't wait. So Puss offered to help me park while i can go the toilet. Nothing happened and he was proud that he did a good job in parking. We had lunch at the church's coffeeshop, it has changed a lot since the last time we ate there. But the drink auntie we knew still works there, long service award! And guess who turned up, my ex girlfriend
Ivy. When she came, i kept my head low not wanting her to see me and i succeeded haha. Its kind of embarrassing..i guess she must hate me. I know its kind of weird to talk about her here especially since so many of you don't even know who the heck she is. I don't want to talk about something that happened so long long long time ago too but the only thing i can do now is to avoid her and secretly say that i'm sorry haha.

Guess what happened next when i was about to drive out from the church car lot. Yes the stupid damn kerb spoilt my back bumper again! It was the same carpark that my sister spoilt the bumper the other time, once bitten not twice shy! I forgot to warn Pussy about this damn carpark. Why the fuck is the kerb so damn high?! They think everyone drives a SUV issit?! God damn brainless people. My poor car, now it has taken a beating front, back and side...i'm so sorry to it haha.

Anyway we didn't want to let that affect our Sunday and we went to Adam Road hawker centre for some dessert before heading to IKEA where Pussy bought new tables. After that, we headed to Orchard where we caught Nacho Libre. The show was funny, but its a little too short. Not worth the $9.50 if you ask me, watch it during the weekdays! Before the show, we went shopping around and guess who we saw at Guess boutique!? Zinedine Zidane! He's probably hiding here after his headbutt incident haha. We stopped by at NYDC where i had a cookie monster mudpie and a few glimpse of pretty waitresses there haha. Puss had his carrot head sliced when he ordered fries, it came in a small plate when it actually cost $5 haha.




Zinedine Zidane!


Haha i took a pic of the serviette


My cookie monster mudpie


Pussy's miserable $5 plate of fries

After the show, we went to meet up with Wayniest. Its his last day of work at the lousy Heritage Fair and he wanted to celebrate. Before that, i shopped at Carrefour where i bought a new bolster and pillow! Haha yes my old pillow and bolster is soft and stinky now...need a change! We then had dinner at Carls Junior before we headed to Pan Pacific Hotel for..yes you guessed it...a chill out session hahaha. The place is called The Atrium and its a really nice place with nice music and nice ambience...i'll definitely bring my friends there again next time! I had my usual camomile tea, Puss had his usual darjeeling tea and Wayniest had Hoegaardens Beer.


Nice pic eh


Wayniest with his back facing the musicians


The bar


Nice view of the top


The 3 of us in the Pan Pacific lift, where you can see the whole Singapore! Ok almost everything


Pussy's "Artistic" shot

Had my Monday's Blues as usual today. And my dumb RSM had to make my day worse. I got told off for nothing, he said i was late for my first parade and that wasn't leading by example in front of the men. I say crap man...i was right on time...right on the dot k. Don't tell me off just because your watch is fast k stupid old man haha.

After work, i met Wayniest for a run at country club. Completed my own triathlon today. 5km run + 200m swim + 50km drive! Hahaha. After that, we had Bah Ku Teh at Balestier, just directly opposite Balestier Plaza. Its apparently quite famous, they have so many photos of the boss with different celebrities...even chow yun fatt! Its quite nice...very peppery! Hahaha. After a satisfactory exercise, here i am at home posting this for all to read, will be turning in very soon, still have a 7km run to complete tomorrow, good night all!


The bak ku teh

Its the weekend!

Had quite a friday night this week. After work, i met up with Puss and we went for dinner at Ichiban Restaurant in Suntec for some Soba. Then we went to look for Wayniest for awhile before meeting up with Sam, Chelsia and Meiwen.

After meeting up with the girls, we decided to visit Long Bar at Raffles Hotel. Had the shock of my life when i entered the bar. The floor was full of peanuts and shells. Apparently, this bar is famous for being able to eat peanuts and throwing them all over the place. Had a fair share of fun ourselves throwing peanuts at each other and also laughing till our jaw became pain haha.


We had loads of peanuts


The girls posing with the peanuts probably trying to tell us the size of their brains...hahahaha just kidding!

After having enough fun at Long Bar, we decided to go chiong at Phuture. The place was packed! And i mean really packed! Haha it will take you 10 mins to squeeze through the crowd just to exit Phuture to the toilet and vice versa. I had loads of fun chatting, dancing, drinking and babe gazing haha. Sam's pilot friend joined us midway and i chatted with him for awhile. He made it sound so easy to be a pilot. Maybe i should go try out one day too! Haha. We all had Bah Chor Mee for supper cum breakfast at Boat Quay before going home.


Sam and i in Phuture, nono i wasn't drunk!


Puss, Sam and i, and yes i wasn't drunk!


The whole group of us


Haha i'm blocking meiwen


Still the best of friends!


Chionging is fun!

I slept for less than 4 hours before i had to wake up again to attend my cousin's wedding at the Methodist Church in Toa Payoh. Its the first time i'm attending a christian church wedding and ermmm, its quite similar to a catholic one lah, except that they have a lot of praise and worship. After the lunch reception and some hanging around, i had to go home because i wanted to sleep!


My mum, sis and me!


The newly weds!


My mum and i in the church


My act kawaii sister with my niece Mira haha

Slept for another 3 hours or so before i had to wake up again for the wedding dinner. It was held at Copthorne Hotel, just beside Zouk. It was a nice typical wedding dinner with nice food. I feel that wedding dinners are getting too predictable and boring. I want to add some programs in mine next time. I will probably surprise my wife next time by singing a love ballad for her on stage, declaring my love and making the guests' hair stand with my mushy messages. Haha then only will people remember my wedding mah! And you all know i can't sing well, so the more they will remember my wedding! Haha.

And guess what i found out, to actually have a proper wedding, i will need to spend at least $50k! My goodness! After hearing that, I don't think i want to get married anymore! Imagine how many things i can do with that amount of money! But then if its for the woman that you love, i guess men will do almost anything lah ah haha. So let me hope that some drop dead gorgeous woman with a heart of gold will come along into my life and take this lonely heart of mine with her soon! Frankly speaking, i do want to get married and set up a family soon, i don't want the age gap of my children and i to be too big, or else i might not even live to see them get married!

After the wedding dinner, we all lined up to shake hands with the newly weds and their family. And guess what, the bride mistaken my other cousin Andy's girlfriend Chelsea to be mine just because she was beside me! It was embarassing and i had to correct her immediately haha. Haha and yes her name is Chelsea, Chelsea FC. Maybe my future girlfriend will be Manchester, Barcelona or even Aston Villa? Hahaha ok thats lame...what awful names for a lady haha.


Salmin and i at the wedding dinner


Haha look at my mum's face


Whats left of my Or Ni, yes don't curse me, i didn't touch the all time favourite wedding dinner dessert, because i don't like it!


Happily Ever After

Idol!

I'm watching the Singapore Idol result show now and i must say its a close fight this time..because all of them suck haha. Well all of them sang badly last night and i'm not at all impressed by these bunch of contestants. I must say Singaporeans can't sing english songs well...i better stick to watching Jue Dui Superstar haha. Tanya Chua is performing now and she dare say its her song, every mother and son knows that is a Coldplay's song lah come on haha. Anyway her rendition of the song didn't sound good...in fact its quite boring.

Class 95 really got me laughing today. Let me quote what the flying dutchman said today to a man calling for some POSB marriage surprise contest. (Oh anyway people, POSB is providing loans for couples who wants to get married but don't have enough money. So if you want a super grand wedding but is short of cash...you can look them up! Hahaha!)

FD: So what special stuff would you like to have in your wedding?
Caller: I would like to have a Hippo Tour Bus to fetch us and our guests around
FD: So your wife likes Hippo?
Caller: Yeah
FD: Can i ask you something?
Caller: Yeah
FD: Are you overweight?
Glenn Ong: HAHAHAHAHAHA
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA

Now the conversation between Rod Monteiro and Jean Danker

Rod: I think you and me are quite similar Jean
Jean: Don't compare yourself with me partner, i have nothing that is similar to you
Rod: Yes you have
Jean: Ok tell me what do we have in common
Rod: Ermmm Ahhh Ermmmm Ah Ha! I have no boyfriend
Me: HAHAHAHA

Ok maybe it don't seem funny here, but it really got me laughing while driving today..really perks up my day.

Wanted to go jogging today but Wayniest is working and Puss is having tuition till 9pm. Its too late to jog so forget it..will probably meet them tomorrow instead. Anyway i'll have a live run tomorrow morning..12km! No joke! Will be running out of camp...it'll be the first time for me...kinda looking forward to it..instead of just running rounds and rounds in camp.

Oh by the time i type this, Singapore Idol's result is out. Gayle Nerva is out! Damn, she's one of the 2 cuties of Singapore Idol. Now that she's out, it'll be half the fun for me to watch it. Ah Heck i don't follow the show anyway hahaha.

Do you people follow the 9pm channel 8 show? Rui En actually told this guy that if it wasn't her wish to marry a rich guy, she will definitely consider him! I mean wth man, i will take it that you're telling me you will only marry for money! I will be super turned off and not like you anymore! Haha i admit lah i will want to marry a rich woman too but its only a plus point! Being comfortable with each other, taking care of each other, and most importantly love should be the factors you look into when choosing your partner mah! Haha

Movie Madness!

Movie madness is approaching people! There are so many upcoming shows that i want to watch! There's My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Click, The Lake House, Lady in the Water and the soonest up-coming one Nacho Libre! Wow so many so many! 1,2,3,4,5! It will cost me around $50 but what the heck haha...as long as they are good shows i will enjoy myself. So people anyone of you who wants to watch any of the above shows you can ask me out and watch with you! (That is if i haven already caught it lah haha)

Today was boring...work as usual and back to home! Recently i have been watching the hong kong cid drama tuo qiang shi qing or something on tv...its nice! The actor that many people say look like me is one of the lead actor too! His name is Marco Ngai aka Cheng Feng in the show...hmmm i look like him meh?



Not that i'm embarassed to look like him lah...but i don't really see a resemblance lah haha. Shall end my post today with a joke again today!

The judge says to a double-homicide defendant, "You're charged with beating your wife to death with a hammer." A voice at the back of the courtroom yells out, "You bas***d." The judge says, "You're also charged with beating your mother-in-law to death with a hammer." The voice in the back of the courtroom yells out, "You God-damned bas***d." The judge stops, and says to the guy in the back of the courtroom, "Sir, I can understand your anger and frustration at this crime. But no more outbursts from you, or I'll charge you with contempt. Is that a problem?" The guy in the back of the court stands up and says, "For fifteen years, I've lived next door to that bas***d, and every time I asked to borrow a hammer, he said he didn't have one."

My day

Went back camp early today because there was a 7km live run. Managed to come in at 35mins, i guess its acceptable for my standard, so any commandos or divers reading this don't laugh!

Then i had my signal platoon sergeant pre-course briefing today at SI. The course warrant was freaking lor-so! He said: "I deliberately came half an hour late today. I can actually finish this briefing in 20 mins." And guess what?! He took a whole long hour going on and on about nonsensical stuff! Argh i wanted so much to up and say: "Sir, enough of your grandfather stories, we young guys and girls have a life, finish up and let us leave." Hahaha...of course i didn't do it lah!

Had a wet experience today at their toilet today. I actually have this habit of flushing while peeing. And guess what? The stupid flush splashed water all over! All over my pants and clothes! Dammit! So embarassing! There are my colleagues and even girls standing outside! What will they think?! I peed in my pants?! I quickly tried to blow my pants as dry as much as i can. Luckily no one noticed! Haha.

I didn't mentioned here before, but i made 2 new resolutions this year! I want to learn the piano and pick up cantonese! Just now, i learnt a bit from my sister who did play a bit when she was young. Oh yes and there's a piano in my house which is pretty much untouched all these years. I want to make use of it! I think knowing how to play the piano can be so romantic and cool! Next time when i feel in love i can play myself some love songs, or when i'm happy i can play some happy songs and even when i'm down i can play some unhappy and angry songs. Songs learnt today: Twinkle twinkle little star and one other song that i don't know the title hahaha. Anyone wants to teach me how to play!?

And i want to learn cantonese because i fell in love with Hong Kong the last time i went there. I want to go there to work and live for a few years next time! And i guess most of you won't disagree its the nicest sounding dialect haha. Just that day, Bernerd taught me the 1 - 10 in cantonese. I think i'm a damn slow learner! Can only vaguely remember now! I need a teacher! Preferably one that can teach me both at one go! Haha.

Hey and its nice to come home today with 2 new comments on my chatbox! It brightens up my day friends. Cheers to you Kat and Xiaowen!

Here's another joke for you all!

WHY MEN LIE (If You Have Ever Wondered Why Men Lie)

One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch
of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river.

When he cried out, the Lord appeared and
asked, "Why are you crying?" The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.

The Lord went down in the water and reappeared
with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.
The woodcutter replied, "No." The Lord again went down
and came up with a silver axe. "Is this your axe?"
the Lord asked. Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."
The Lord went down again and came up with an
iron axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked. "Yes", he
replied.

The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and
gave him ALL three axes to keep, and the woodcutter
went home happy.

Some time later the woodcutter was walking with
his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the
river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared
and asked him, "Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!" The
Lord went down into the water and came up with
Angelina Jolie. "Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.
"Yes," cried the woodcutter.

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

The woodcutter fell to his knees and cried, "Oh,
forgive me, Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see,
if I had said 'no' to Angelina Jolie, You would have
come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I also
said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my
wife.
Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all
three.

Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take
care of all three wives, and I love my wife such that I don't
want her to share me with anyone, so THAT'S why
I said yes to Angelina Jolie."

The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it
is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit
of others. MOSTLY his wife!

That's our story, and we're sticking to it...

Looking back

Guess what? I was reading my old posts just now and i realised that coming 31st July 2006...my blog will be officially 3 years old! Just look at how time flies man. Seemed like only yesterday that i was having my internship at Bata and enjoying myself in the polytechnic together with Sam and the rest of my classmates.

Its nice reading back, i can't remember some of the things i typed though. Can't believe i was that crappy back then haha. And my frequent comments back then came from ivory, now that she's no longer with Mazi, i am also seldom in contact with her. Pity! Nowadays few people even comment nor visit my blog! People these comments actually motivate me to blog more often ya know...i want to know that i still have readers! Its the same as actors wanting audience and footballers wanting spectators! Haha.

I miss those days, accompanying weijian before he enlisted in army, finally convincing sam to let me get a bike, finally having my own bike, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries with sam blah blah. Those were such happy days. Will do anything to relive those days again but i can't! Can only look forward and pray for brighter days!

Anyway gone are the days when my posts were just plain words. Now that i have a camera phone i'll try beautify my posts with pictures! I used to share good jokes here and that is a tradition i have decided to continue. Here's one!

A man is in a hotel lobby. He wants to ask the clerk a question. As he turns to go to the front desk, he accidentally bumps into a woman beside him and as he does, his elbow goes into her breast. They are both quite startled. The man turns to her and says, "Ma'am, if your heart is as soft as your breast, I know you'll forgive me." She replies, "if your penis is as hard as your elbow, I'm in room 1221."

Finally back at work today after a long period of long weekends and long break because i had a lot of offs! Anyway had some dumb RSM parade today plus some foot drills again! Stupid RSM arrowed me to be the timer haha...i was so short of breath sometimes while shouting away haha. Will be having a 10km live run tomorrow in camp...should be turning in early tonight. Good night folks.

Long fruitful Saturday

It has been 3 years since i first got my class 2B license. And on friday, i managed to pass all lessons and evaluation for my dream class 2 license! I have already booked my test on the 1 August 2006, please let me pass so i don't have to waste more money! Hehe.

Then on friday night, puss and i went to visit Weijian where he was working. He's currently working for this heritage fair at Suntec City. We went there to disturb him and watch some stupid traditional Indian performance. After that we went for dinner and then watched Pirates of the Carribean 2. Well, the show was well made but the plot was a bit confusing for me, because i had forgotten part 1 completely. So please don't watch it if you haven fully understood part 1, you will catch no balls and waste your money haha.



Yesterday, Puss and i went to Sentosa for a jog then a tan. The results wasn't good, i am now a lobster face haha. Anyway it has been a long time since i relaxed on the Sentosa beach and it was nice doing it again after a long time. We settled for Palawan Beach. Where they have one point they call it the Southern most point of the Asian Continent haha.


Self Explanatory

After Sentosa, we met Sam for dinner. We had dinner at Ikoi Restaurant down at Miramar Hotel. The standard of the food wasn't as good as before yesterday and immediately after leaving the restaurant, both Sam and Puss came down with a stomach ache and rushed for the toilet. Haha for fortunately for me, there was nothing wrong, i probably have a much tougher stomach haha.

After dinner, we went to town for shopping. Sam bought some fake eye lashes while puss and i bought a cap each from Top Shop haha. Oh and it was there that i chanced into Simin, one of my CJC classmate. She looks so different from last time, i think the same can be said about me too haha.

After shopping, we went to Shangri-La's lobby lounge for a drink. I had a pot of Peach Garden tea. Didn't really like it although Sam thinks its not bad, just a little too sweet for me. Sam ordered some mocktail while Puss had his usual Darjeeling tea.


Shopping in town!




Chilling out at Shang!

After chilling out, both of them followed me for some mahjong session at Jackie's house. We reached there slightly earlier only to find Jackie not at home. So they suggested going to Changi and off we went. Somehow we ended up at Loyang's Dua Pek Kong Temple and sam went to pray a little. It was on our way back to Jackie's place that disaster striked. I met with a small accident. I guess i am quite fortunate to even put the word small before the word accident. I was turning onto PIE and somehow i just wasn't focused. I followed the car in front of me blindly and moved. But an oncoming Taxi from the opposite direction was coming straight for me. Fortunately for me, he wasn't travelling too fast. But still his bumper hit mine. I was in shock. But fortunately again for me, there was nothing wrong with his taxi, but my bumper was dented. Sob...just want to thank God everyone in the car was safe and nothing major really happened. So drivers, please be very careful on the road!!!


Me at Dua Pek Kong


My poor car

End of a 5 years journey

By now i guess most of you would have already known that sam and i are no longer together. Well...you might ask why, after all, 5 years of relationship, definitely will sayang lah, but when it happens, nothing you do can stop it. Its actually also kind of my fault that we ended up this way. I used to be a very doting bf but I had been rather lazy in our relationship in recent times and often took her for granted. When one day i finally woke up and realised how much she mean to me, she has already left my life and it was all too late. She told me that she is unable to get back the feelings as before and things between us just wasn't the same anymore. We can't possibly return back to the way they were before.

Just yesterday, we spent one fruitful day together. I had planned the day hoping to move her one last time. In the morning, i took her to pulau ubin for a cycling trip. After all, the last time we went there 2 years ago, we had a load of fun. So i suggested going there again and she agreed. Anyway they have shifted the jetty to something much newer now, but the boats and the boatmen were still the same haha. Reached the island at around 1pm and we immediately settled for the first bicycle rental store to rent our bicycles. We cycled north and ended up in this place called mamam beach. There, we found a poor stranded baby bird who has fallen down from its nest. Lying nearby were its 2 siblings...both dead. We wanted to do something to save this poor bird but there is nothing we can do, so we just brought it to somewhere safer and hope that someone else will come along and save it haha. After that we cycled west where sam wanted to go this thai temple to pray. By the time that was done, we have already spent 2 hours in pulau ubin and it was time to go.


Waiting for the ferry



Welcome to pulau ubin!


The poor baby bird with the makeshift shelter we made it


Oh there were lots of durians there!


Our bicycles!

We went to "my country club" for a bath before we headed to tampines mall because she wanted to buy her auntie sally a birthday card. Oh and we took one last lovegety card together there, the last time we took one was 4 years ago! Hehe.

After that we continued with our original plan to go kallang for dinner. Before that i presented her a bouquet of lilies, a teddy bear similar to the one she bought me from Dubai and a scrap book i spent the last 3 days compiling as part of my last burst of fire to try to salvage anything. Anyway i didn't succeed because as i said, it was all too late, she has already lost all feelings for me and has given up on me. Anyway don't worry people, i'm alright, clinging on to someone who don't love me as much anymore won't do me any good anyway hehe. Anyway we went on to eat at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant. Treated her to chilli crab, garlic chicken and sambal kang kong, wasn't all too fantastic although the crab was huge. And they kept irritating me by asking me if i wanted a change of plates hahaha.


Me with the big crab pincer!


The rest of the food!

After dinner, we decided to walk together hand in hand one last time across the kallang bridge where we will officially let each other go and carry on with our own separate lives. I'm sure we will continue to be good friends and hang out with each other. I will continue to live life and seek my own happiness and so will she! So guys don't worry about feeling awkward asking both of us out together k? Hehe.


One last hug!

After Kallang we went to orchard for a karaoke session haha. This time we tried party world ktv instead of the usual K-Box that we used to go to. Well..Party World was special in the sense that they served bubble tea and fruits haha. Other than that everything else was inferior to K-Box i guess.

That was the end of a very special day for me. Anyway Darby i want to thank you for the joy you've brought me the last 5 years. Life from now onwards without you will be very different but i will carry on with it optimistically nevertheless. Thank you for everything you've done for me all these years. Its going to be hard for me to give this all up but i have to do it or else you will have to go through future roller coaster rides again and never be happy. I will not harbour hopes of us being together anymore. May we continue to remain as very good friends and not lose contact for the rest of our lives. Do take care! Should you encounter any problems or ever need someone to talk to i will still always be there! Cheers!

The 5 years i was with Sam, i sort of drifted apart from many of my other friends especially those from church. So just now, i contacted Senior and met up with him. His name is also Nicholas Lim which is why i call him Senior and he calls me Junior. People in Christ The King calls me Junior too because there are just too many Nicholases around! Anyway we went for dinner at Chomp Chomp before heading for a bar nearbly called Happy Daze for a drink. Had a pint of Hoegardens and i must say its huge! I couldn't finish it and Senior had to help me with half of it haha. After that, Puss and Daryl Song joined us too. We went to this prata place at serangoon and chatted our night away. Its really nice meeting up with these people after such a long time. I'll try to be more active in church now that i have the time. Will seriously want to catch up with these old friends of mine!
