Exam is over!

The damn exam is finally over! Wooh! Nows the time to start watching movie, go shopping, go clubbing and of course also play mahjong! Haha yes in case you didn't know, these are the things i usually do at this point of my life. I do want to pick up a few more hobbies like diving, golf and wake boarding but i just haven got myself to doing it! Soon soon soon!

Went out for dinner with my mum and sis after finishing my paper yesterday. I suggested going to this place call Labrador Seafood Villa at Labrador Park which i read in either I-weekly, Her World or 8 Days. (Don't ask me why i read iweekly and her world) The place turned out to be quite nice with a nice surrounding sea view. There's a spa place just beside the restaurant and judging from its location, you can estimate the price of a simple massage or facial. The restaurant turned out to be a chinese restaurant serving mostly chinese dishes like sharks fin, peking duck etc etc...something i didn't expect. It reminded us of the Humble House we dined in not too long ago. The bill wasn't cheap too, it was around $177 for the 3 of us...its ok we'll treat it as an early treat to our dear mummy for mother's day.

After dinner, i met up with Weijian and Sham to watch Manchester United play Everton at some pub near NUS. We watched how manu came back from 2-0 down to win 4-2. Then we got the news that Chelsea screwed up at Bolton. It was a good day..it was definitely a good day.

Mug Mug Mug

It has been a tiring one week for me, other than the usual 9 hours of work per day, i've been diligently making my way to NUS business library everyday after work to study. It hasn't been easy, i tend to put my head on the table and doze off once in awhile but fortunately there's Weijian there to hit my head whenever that happens haha.

In the midst of mugging, i did manage to find some time to enjoy myself at Wala Wala last night. I was joined by Sham, Henry, Weijian and some of his hall friends. It was literally a multi racial gathering that day, we had a german caucasian, an american black, a japanese mix girl and of course the rest of us. Although the live band that performed that day wasn't as good as the usual one, i still enjoyed myself taking some time away from the books.

I was reading this week's 8 days that day and i read the part where they interviewed this year's Miss Singapore Universe contestants. They were asked typical questions that beauty pageants always ask..what they call the 10-year series questions. One particular contestant name Tay Yi Ming was asked what her most treasured possession was. She answered Photographs. And she added on since time travel is not possible, these frozen moments of time are the only means for her to relive her memories. How true! I totally agree with her! Its a really good answer, i doubt anyone of us would have thought of answering that question this way! A pity she's not too much of a looker though haha. The best looking of the lot has to be Jessica Tan, followed by Joey Feng then Peggy Chang, the rest of them...hmmm cannot make it lah haha. I'll definitely be watching tomorrow. Heck studying for once! Wooh!

I try not to type too much nowadays because i know it can be quite tiring and irritating reading so much. I'm a self confessed impatient reader. I don't go to other people's blogs often and even if i do, i tend to only glance through their posts haha. Now you know...

I shall stop here for tonight, when i'm done with my exam next week, it'll be time to party again, till we meet again!

Its Time

Yeah i think its time for an update now after nearly a month of absence. Firstly, i don't want to accumulate too much for me to blog about and secondly, i don't want to lose precious readers and friends like you by not updating!

Ok, let me start with something funny that happened just now. I was walking home just now and was at my void deck when i saw this cockroach running across my path in front of me. I then tried to scare it by jumping up and stamping my feet on the floor. That stupid cockroach reacted by jumping up into the air too. Its probably one of those irritating cockroach that can fly and so it jumped pretty high. My first instinct was to swing my right foot and aim a kick at it. That i did and guess what? I actually managed to volley the cockroach...and so poom it went...right into the wall in front with a piah sound! Sounds like something from an advertisement right? But it happened! After that, i just kept laughing and laughing to myself at the void deck..i couldn't stand it..it was hilarious! I'm glad it was already pretty late in the night and nobody saw me haha.

Ok let me try to go back all the way to nearly a month ago. My company had a retreat some weeks ago at Tanah Merah Safra chalet. Although the discussions and brainstorming during the retreat were boring most of the time, i must admit that i did have fun throughout. We played ultimate frisbee, taboo, mahjong and some other games. Its really a rare chance to the other sides of my bosses, i almost thought that they were of the same age as me!

Oh i nearly forgot...Felicia Chin, Rui En and less importantly Pierre Png visited my camp a few weeks ago! They were here to film some new channel 8 tv serial drama about the army. Felicia Chin was dressed in army uniform and she was hot! But somehow i prefer Rui En...she's hotter in my eye! Oh and guess what...she smiled at me too! Wooh! Haha.

I have a photo of them!

Watched the widely acclaimed Phantom of the Opera last friday with my mum, we bought the $110 tickets but were still seated pretty high up and back. We had to bend down whenever they were on the bridge..otherwise we won't be able to see their heads haha. Anyway, i thought the play was alright. Although not as good as i've expected it to be, i must say that the props were impressive and the singing was excellent. The storyline was disappointing though. In fact, my mum fell asleep halfway into the play haha. I kinda enjoyed The Forbidden City more haha.

I've been busy lately..have been trying hard to study for my new subject which i'm currently catching no ball. Notice that i said i'm trying hard to study and not been trying to study hard haha. Anyway, the subject i'm taking now iscorporate finance. Learning about bonds, stocks, yields to maturity, interest and all the shit. Although i enjoy maths a lot, i'm still trying hard to figure out whats going on in this module haha. Was in school today attending a make up class with another tutorial group and some of them asked me if i'm local. Don't i look like one?! They actually thought that i was an indonesian or something haha. Actually they are not the only one that said that. I don't know whether to take it as a compliment or an insult haha...afterall...all indonesians in Singapore are filthy rich..maybe i look rich!

Had an unplanned for get together yesterday. Had actually only planned to meet up with Puss but in the end a lot more people joined in the fun haha. Puss had planned to meet up for dinner with Anna and Clarence for dinner and so i joined in. The initial plan was to eat at Kovan's HK cafe but somehow they changed it to Punggol Nasi Lemak. Puss and i got there early so we dropped a visit to Kheng Hong whose office is just beside Punggol Nasi Lemak. Then from there, Kheng Hong asked if we wanted to join him, Benson and Desiree for dinner at Serangoon Garden's Simply Peranankan. And so we did and it turned out to be a bigger gathering haha. After dinner, we decided to head to Clarke Quay for a drink. We ended up at this place call Baize. The group got bigger when we got there, Valencia and Shiya joined us. The place have quite a lot of pool tables and there's a live band there too. They were good, if i didn't remember wrongly, i've seen them at Wala Wala before too. The place were full of ang mors just like the whole Clarke Quay..but disappointingly...no babes were in sight haha.

I can't seem to recall most of the things that happened the past month, thats the problem when i don't blog frequently! Oh anyway i'm a happy man today because Manchester United trashed Watford United 4-1 just now to reach the FA cup final! I witnessed it all at Robertson Walk...glory glory Man United!
