No signboard

I guess the fats i shedded this morning has all been put back on me again. I just went for dinner with my mum and since its her birthday i wanted to treat her to something good. She suggested eating crabs..something she has always liked so i brought her to No Signboard at Geylang.

Dinner was not at all disappointing. Service was good, the food was good, nearly everything else was good. We ordered chilli crab, drunken prawn and mussels. Poor prawns though..they made them drunk in front of us. They were still alive and jumping around when they served us. Being the photo whore that i am, i wanted to take a last picture of them before they go on to meet the King of Hades, so i took away the cover that was covering the bowl that they were in and aimed my shot. As i did that, one stupid prawn jumped out of the bowl and landed on the floor haha. It was an embarrassing moment, i quickly tried to catch it and when i finally did, i tried to wash it in the bowl of lemon water meant for washing our hands haha. Luckily, the waiter came and saved me. He took the stupid prawn away and had it washed. Anyway, the stupid prawn's efforts ended up futile as he and his friends were all cooked in front of us and eaten by us. Its either in my mum's or my stomach now haha.

Anyway happy birthday again Mummy i love you! Hehe.

Happy birthday Mum Bon Voyage Sis!

Met Puss again on Sunday with the intention to study. But don't be mistaken, we really did manage to study this time only that we were not too productive lol. We had a hard time deciding where to study at first before we decided to go to the airport, one of our favourite study hang outs in the past. As the parking charges at the airport are ridiculous, i parked my car at Tampines and we took bus 27 from there. Puss wanted to study at the viewing gallery but it was packed with families and many other type of people so we ended up studying at Burger King instead. After studying, we were supposed to go for a run at East Coast but decided not to in the end because we just didn't feel like it. Instead, we ended up at Parkway Parade where we gorged ourselves with good food and shopped.


The new sky train!


On it

I am a bad boy, i skipped class again yesterday. But for a good reason of course! My family celebrated my mum and ah dio's birthday yesterday at AUD's house! It has been such a long time since i've joined them for any such event and it sure felt good seeing all of them.


Good food


Everybody gorging on it

Happy birthday to Mum and Ah Dio!


Their cake

Not to feel guilty after Sunday's exercise failure though, because we more than made up for it today. I had to wake up early in the morning 5am today because i had to fetch my sister to the airport. She flew to Hong Kong for a holiday with Kok Bin and his family, how i envy them, i wished i was the one going instead! Lol. Anyway after sending them off, i went to fetch Pussy and we ended up at East Coast where he decided he want to run all the way to East Coast Macs this time. Not a good idea, although i didn't walk throughout the run, i was super shagged after it. It must had been around 15-16km because we jogged for 92 mins. After the run, we walked around the cc looking for a place to get drinks and ended up downing 2 cans of 100 plus each. If you understand what i mean...the feeling after drinking those 2 cans of 100 plus was like woooh...someone no words can describe haha! At that point of time, i guess we were willing to pay up to $5 for each can of 100 plus, now thats consumer's utility!

After a good bath, Puss craved for Dim Sum and he recommended this chinese restaurant somewhere off MS. The name of the restaurant was Red Star. Although the Dim Sum wasn't excellent, it still tasted delicious after the long run in the morning.




Like i said before, there'll always a good picture after a good day of exercise!


Our lunch

Wind of change

I cleared my Deepavali off on Thursday. Decided to use the free day to clear and revamp my room. Well, my room has been a bit of a mess for quite some time now and its irking me. I also decided that i should shift around my furniture to change the fengshui. Things hasn't been going well for me this year and i need to do something about it! Lol. Anyway i found lots of old stuff including my fandi ahmad, abbas saad, michael vana, malek awak etc football cards haha. I really wonder how much they are worth now. I threw away one whole bunch of poly notes and lots of unwanted stuff..my room feels so much neater now!


This is how much rubbish i cleared




New fengshui new beginning!

Friday was range day. Range was held at Nee Soon Camp this time. I'm so glad i didn't have to be store IC this time because i was attached to Selarang Camp the past few days. Anyway i nearly screwed up my test for the marksmanship. We had 16 shots in the day and i only managed to get 11! There was then another 12 shots at night and to get marksman, you have to get at least 23 out of the 28 shots in total. Which means i cannot afford to miss any shot at night! I was so afraid that i used all of my concentration and held my breath for every single shot trying very hard not to miss. Luckily my efforts paid off as i managed to get full marks at night. That also means that i'm going to be $200 richer very soon wooh! But that has yet to be confirmed lah. Screw them.

Was supposed to meet Puss today to study but my sister took my car and came back late. So we decided to cancel studying and just go for dinner straight. I met him at Suntec after he went to Swissotel to collect our vertical marathon's goody bags. We then went to eat Muthu's Curry at Suntec. Had fish head curry, some fried chicken and naan...and i must say they were all quite good!


Muthu's fish head curry


It was a high class muthu curry restaurant

After dinner, we went to the motor show. There ain a lot of cars this year as many of the continental brands didn't exhibit. But we still managed to take lots of pictures and drool over both ladies and cars haha.


Super dream car! Lambo convertible!


My other dream car that is still beyond reach


Some of the so call motor babes were terrible looking. Bus or train buanged quality


Oh i met Lixing there




Yup its a motor show. There were motorcycles too!


I actually managed to dwaft a big bike..hmmm

Having fun

I realised that i've been reminiscing too much lately. Its not healthy! Haha. I need to look ahead! There are many things out there waiting for me to complete. Its now up to me to take the first step! Looking forward to blogging about my success! Wooh!

For the guys

I was so bored yesterday i "flipped" through my blog archive. I realised what an interesting blog i've written! Lol. I read about days that i don't even remember myself spending. Seriously, you guys should start blogging too if you enjoy reminiscing just like me! You can actually read about when you did this or that right down to the actual date...its really cool. My blog has come a long way from how it began 3 years ago. It used to be just words words and more words, but recently i try to add as many pictures since i have a camera phone now. I hope to attract more readers in time to come..its just like promoting a business..its so fun haha.

Today is my last day at Selarang. The whole time, i was wasting my time there, we did practically nothing. They didn't really need our help seriously, i've no idea why my OC sent us there. Whatever it is...i didn't mind haha.

Just came back from the cc together with Bernerd and Puss. We ran slightly further this time, all the way to the food centre. We should have covered something like 11-12km? As we were about to go for our swim, we saw Jackie driving in. Its really a small world, he came to use the gym. Anyway, i swam 6 laps today using freestyle. After the 6 laps, my arms were aching and i can feel my chest expanding haha. I seriously don't understand how people can swim so far and continously using freesytle..its so damn tiring. After another good day of exercise, we went to fill our stomaches at Bedok Central hawker centre. I will be continuing my rest tomorrow sleeping at home because i'll be on off!

A bunch of my guys at my unit ORDed today. Would actually like to dedicate a portion here to remind myself of them. Afterall, they were the one that went through thick and think together with me for the past 1 year plus in the unit. Here are some pictures. Reminisce guys!

Was on off last tuesday and guess where i went? To orchard hotel. Not for a lasup massage but for a facial! Haha yes i decided to go for a facial given my super bad complexion recently. It might be caused by me keeping constant late nights or the new pimple cream my sister got me. Anyway i never liked facial..its super painful! I rather take a bullet shot to my chest anytime! Lol! After facial, i went for a haircut just next door. Although it wasn't cheaper..i was quite satisfied with the haircut. And i found out that he was an ex army regular. He went into hairdressing after finishing his contract. Don't worry i've no intentions to follow in his footsteps!

Spent the rest of the week at Selarang Camp supporting some other unit's exercise. Did practically nothing there..not that i'm complaining though haha.

My 7 days consecutive lectures ended on friday. Fortunately. this new subject is slightly easier and more interesting. I have intentions to start studying this weekend..no more fooling around! After my last lecture, i met up with my poly mates at Katong's Settler's cafe to celebrate Henry's birthday. Yup we played some boardgames before i had to leave early. Felt bad about it. But stupid freddy and jackie jioed me for dry swimming...and its something that i cannot resist of late haha. Played 2 rounds and ended up winning $0.20. Yes you didn't read wrongly...20 cents! But at least i didn't lose lah haha.

Met up with pussy on sunday and we had lunch at Parklane Fried Wanton Mee somewhere opposite Bugis Junction. It was alright...the fried wanton tasted quite good. We then walked around Bugis Junction before we decided we needed a new pair of running shoes. Then i suggested checking out the Asic boutique at Marina Square. I'm so glad we left JUST IN TIME, because the carpark summon uncle was just a few cars away from my car when we arrived...haha of course we ran for our lives. Just another few minutes later and i could be $30 poorer. While shopping for our shoes, we ended up watching Flushed Away. We missed the first 5 mins of the show because we were late. But while buying the tickets, the stupid guy told us that the movie hasn't started. But when i got in the cinema, he has already been flushed away, i missed the whole front part which is actually the trailer for the show haha. The show is damn short, only 80 minutes. Not too fantastic either, i'll watch Shrek again anytime.



In the end, we got our shoes at queensway shopping center. I almost bought a pair of Asics which would have cost me $194. But i realised that i've been very poor of late so i settled for an Adidas Adizero for $97.


My new pair of striking Adidas Adizero!

We then tested out our new shoes at East Coast where we ran further than usual..this time from Tanah Merah Safra all the way to Bedok Jetty...should be around 9 - 10km. I better start bucking up, the stand chart marathon is coming up soon!
