Long story

Went to sam's auntie's house yesterday and watched a movie on vcd together with them. Its a show about organ transplant. The lead woman is sick with some lung disease and badly needs a transplant. But her rare bloodtype AB makes it even very difficult for her to find a suitable donor. To make matters worse, she needs people to die before she can get a transplant.

Her husband loves her very much and desperately wanted to find her a donor but time is against him. The max his wife can wait is 2 years and it has already been 15 months. He joins the donors club and got to know this woman that can be a suitable donor. He has an affair with her so as to help convinced her. Unfortunately her wife found out about the affair and had a huge quarrel with him. During the argument, while quarrelling his wife accidentally said that "he'll have to kill someone to actually save her life". His husband realized that what she said is true and with his deep love for her..he started planning the murder. He succeeded and his wife got the transplant. The movie ended stupidly with the wife having an affair with another man just to take revenge. After all the things the husband did for her, this is how she repaid him haha. You know what? I don't know the title of the movie.(Since when did i become such a long storyteller?)

While travelling on the CTE today..this stupid old man driver in front of me took 10 full secs just to change lane...piss me off. Unknowningly, i started singing "old man donald had a farm...E YA E YA OH". Haha ok i changed the lyrics a little..i can be cranky on the roads ya know.

Watched the village today...please don't watch it..its crap. Unbreakable was 5 times better..Signs was 10 times better..6th sense was 20 times better. This show is total crap..don't even want to sum it up haha.

The amazing race

Watched amazing race yesterday on AXN but fell asleep before i know who got elminated...can somebody tell me? Haha...let me guess first..the twins? Am i right?

But i did manage to catch the beautiful sights of Cairo Egypt..it looked such an amazing place i wish i can be there right away. My next holiday will be Cairo Egypt..save up now!

Chinatown

Met my mum, my sis and Kok bin for dinner last night. We had dinner at Chinatown point's mouth restaurant. My mum had a 2 for 2 voucher meaning we paid for only 2 people ;). Its a chinese buffet and there are lots of variety...they even served a bowl of buddha jump over the wall..but only one serving for that..can't order more haha. The most expensive dish we could order non-stop is the steam sea bass...but there's always a limit to what you can eat at a buffet..after awhile we were all bloated. I went to the toilet and wash my hands in the middle of the meal and my appetite changed. I saw shit in the toilet bowl and i almost puked...disgusting! AWWW...

Oh my sis and kok bin applied for the pinnacles at duxton and they actually got a unit..haha looks like i've a wedding to attend within the next 6-10 years hehe.

What title again

I'm going to announce something...something i've acheived for the first time in my whole life. I just won TOTO yest! But damn only 4 numbers..i don't even know how much i won...is it $30 or $90? I bought system 7 btw.

Met Sam at Tampines Mall after work yesterday and had dinner at Pasta Mania. Wanted to catch a movie but there ain any nice movies and the timings weren't right. She then wanted to go K-Box and sing karaoke and i obligned. Towards the end of the karaoke i just laid there and i fell asleep hahaha.

Horsey asked if i want to go to Hoobastank's concert this 15th August...i'm quite keen..never been to a rock concert before. Anyone interested?

13 going 30 and the media

Saw 13 going 30 on dvd with Sam yesterday. Its a nice show..about this 13 years old wanting to be cool, flirty and successful..so happen she got her wish and was thrown 17 years into time. She woke up looking pretty and realised she got all she ever wanted. A career, a handsome boyfriend etc etc. And the story goes on and i'm lazy to elaborate..so do watch it haha. I was thinking...would anyone of you sacrifice 17 years of your life just to be rich and successful?

Jennifer Gartner is totally hot..check her out.



Also caught average joe hawaii on channel i yesterday. I was thinking there's no way the woman will actually choose any of the disgusting looking guys..some fat, sweaty dirty and totally weird. But then again i believe the whole media industry is never what it seems...whatever we see is 99% not true. Taking for example beautiful people where my twin classmate Meiwen starred..they purposely made their good friends can't differentiate between them...even i can close one eye and tell them apart lor haha. Survivor, Bachelor, Love island etc etc...none of these are actually true reality shows...they are scripted, staged and acted. That's what i believe at least...they are not much differences from WWE wrestling haha.

Now to the topic of dramas..wassup with channel 8 nowadays? Are they promoting incest or something? First there was the Laksa show...jeanette aw liking her elder brother tay ping hui...and now..the 9pm show..fiona xie liking her brother. Although in both cases they ain real siblings..its still wrong..so wrong..just feel weird thinking about it...complain!

How God can actually prevent rapes in the first place

Thought of this...lame it is...but think about it...it works.

God could have just made females the hornier sex in the first place. That way...no rapes can ever take place..because no matter how hard she tries..if a guy don't want to do it...his thing won't stand and there's no way intercourse can take place with force.

Moreover males are generally the stronger sex so in that way...there'll be no more rapes in the world!

Yahoo Messenger anybody?

For no reason, i couldn't log into MSN messenger the whole day today in office. Not only me, my 2 other friends too. We suspect is either they blocking us or the server is down...hmmm...

Icq had been inaccessible all along ever since i joined the company..can't connect at all. So i turned to Yahoo messenger...was logged on the whole day but nobody online on my list the whole day too! But at least yahoo messenger let me know when i have a new mail..something i don't get using msn. I just downloaded the latest yahoo messenger and i must say it looks quite good...anyone with an account please add me at "nicholaslimsg" so that i'll have somebody to chat with in the office!

Polo

Whats the first thing that comes to mind when someone mention the word "Polo" to you? Is it the Polo sweet? Is it Polo Ralph? Is it the polo sports played on horse, water polo or could it be the polio disease? Just curious lol..

Brotherhood

Caught this korean film today with cheap bird...its a good movie...very much recommended. Its about the how these 2 brothers fought alongside in the Korean War. Elder brother sacrificed a lot just so that his brother could go home and look after their mum. Its a very touching and sad story...4 out of 5 stars!

Road madness amazing world

Experienced a little bit of road madness yesterday myself...and yeah it was me myself. While riding i'll start singing and making all sort of noises like "woohoo!" Haha no i'm not mad..i'm just bored. And when some car drives too near to one side preventing me from squeezing through i'll shout "fuck off please" beneath my helmet wahaha. Learn a bit of road manners....nick's way!

Just saw built for the kill on national geographic channel...do you know that a chimpanzee actually preys on monkeys? Something new yeah...and a male praying mantis actually gets his head eaten off by his mate while mating and can still go on with his poking for several hours...this world is so amazing wahaha.

Hi

Lol i just realised that some people actually do leave comments in my comment box below my posts occasionally. But they're hardly noticeable to me..so if you guys read this do drop me your valuable comments in my chatterbox? Thanks!

Oh and thanks for your comments too..really appreciate it...do drop me more messages ; )

Mambo

i went for mambo night at zouk yesterday after a long period of absence. Its usually friday nights when clubbing with my poly friends. My clubbing partners were my sajc classmates. We met up before 9 thinking entrance will be cheaper then but it wasn't to be. We had so much time we went to play billards first. After one game it was time for mambo.
Guess who i saw first..a marist..adrian yap...chao hi lang (deaf boy) is his nickname..guess what he told me...he's now in commando camp..how is that possible when he is deaf in one ear? Hmmm...
After that i saw Zheng Yukai and Kenny Mok..haha ultimate nerd and ultimate loser...just kidding haha. And to top it all up..i saw Cen Zhuoxiang too...looks like marists love mambo. But yesterday wasn't entirely retro...there was a bit of top 100 chart type of songs.
Towards the end we danced at Phuture...hip hop R&B..the more familiar type of clubbing music recently..
I left early and not join them for supper after clubbing because i have work the following day..here i am in the office..but i'm surprisingly not too tired...meeting my poly friends later for another gathering ;)

Bloody old actor!

Met Sam after work today and we went to Parkway Parade for dinner. After dinner Sam wanted to watch Mean girls so we headed for Suntec. While turning into ECP, this stupid silver MPV drove out from a give way filter lane and cut my lane! While travelling at the back of him, Sam told me to point my middle finger which i did wahahaha...not sure if he saw it though.
 
I decided to overtake him and guess what...it was Zhu Houreng..the Mediacorp old actor. Haha bloody old man...cut my lane...i'm gonna condemn your shows.
 
Mean girls is not a bad show...a show of backstabbing bitchy slutty scheming girls making use of each other and out-doing each other. Its pretty hilarious and well worth to watch. Somehow the characters in the shows remind me of the mambo girls in CJC...hmmm

Imagine this.........

I'm sure most of you saw the Heineken ad before..the one with Jennifer Aniston starring in it. Well...something similar happened to me yesterday...ok the woman that asked for my help wasn't exactly pretty...and of course she's no star. And another thing...the beer package she wanted was high on the shelf on the NTUC shelf and i'm no tall guy myself haha. But i used the first level of the shelf as a leverage and got her the beer. :)

OT with King Arthur

I worked till 8pm today...you cannot imagine the tiredness and reluctance i felt after it's past knock off time. Although its $10.50 an hour for OT...but still...
 
Anyway for the first time, my boss delegated work to me personally. She had me copy customers' profiles from Microsoft words to Microsoft Excel...Its one of the most tiring things i ever did during my time there. Although there were only 40 customers, i took nearly 2 hours to complete it. And my pinky is numb and pain from holding on to the "Ctrl" button everytime i need to copy and paste.
 
After work i went to meet Sam and the first thing is told me: "Why act hardworking for what?" As if i deliberately wanted to work OT...i dread it too. Anyway we caught the movie King Arthur. Its not a bad show..pretty much like Troy, LOTR and many other battle movies..its the "in" type of movie now anyway.   
 
I felt that the director and scriptwriter failed to justify why King Arthur and his knights had to stay back and fight when they can just retreat. They tried hard to portray him as a hero but where were the so called villagers they were trying to protect? Why didn't everyone just retreat together with the Roman army? Haha i find it pretty hard to comprehend...but then again its just a show..i shouldn't think so much. Oh the show also taught me that conscription used to be 15 years during those times...i'm so glad its only 2 years for me...if it was still 15 years..i wouldn't want to imagine what will happen to me after that. 
 
I love Fridays...the feeling is so good...

Michael Jackson

I realised something yesterday. Michael Jackson don't sing live during his concert 90% of the time. I was actually watching the dvd of his concert live in Gothenburg Sweden last night and its actually pretty obvious his lips movement don't match the singing. No wonder the songs sounded so much alike like in his CDs...there is usually at least a little bit difference when singers sing live..but not for him. Now it all make sense..how can he maintain singing so smoothly while dancing around and making so much movements haha.

But he's an immense talent nevertheless..if he were to come here for a concert i'll definitely go. Who else can sing, dance and write songs like him now? Only a loser Justin Timberlake is trying hard to impersonate him..

My past few days

The past few days has been blowing hot and cold for me. First the misery...i had diarrhea on Monday and early Tuesday morning it got worse...i woke up in the middle of the night to visit the toilet at least 4 times. When it was 8am..the time i usually wake up for work..i finally decided that i wasn't fit to go work that day. But i could hardly sleep given my misery. I really do not know what i ate wrong, can't be JB's food coz non of the rest suffered, can't be the noodles Sam cooked coz her brother ate too and nothing happened to him too. The only possibility is the food my mum brought back from my grandma's place...but then again highly unlikely too...coz i'm sure my uncles/aunties and her all ate the same food..something is wrong with me :(.

Anyway i visited the doctor and got my MC. Now for the joy. After betting for so long...i'm finally out of the reds...i won a tidy sum betting on Malaysia..yeah call me a traitor whatever..its only betting our national team..i never quite supported them anyway since the Malaysian Cup days anyway.

Anyone realised there's a sudden influx of new CD compilations advertising on tv? Has the problems of piracy and downloading of free mp3s finally been curbed? Hmmm at least i'm still downloading..wahahaha. I like the WOW praise and worship CD and the new compilation of love songs...they are tempting to buy.

A day of adventure, exhaustion, darkness and brush with singapore customs

Went JB again today with Sam, Puss, Bernerd and his friend. We headed for Holiday plaza as usual first and walked around. Sam bought a pair of slippers and a pair of earrings..and we all bought DVD movies to watch. I bought Michael Jackson and Kenny G's concert haha.

After walking we went back to food street for our dinner. Our orders were nearly the same as the last time...claypot rice, stingray, sotong and char kway tiao.

After dinner, we walked around City Square before deciding to go home. This turned out to be one of the most embarassing, scary and fucked up return back to Singapore. The custom police opened Bernerd's car boot and found 2 boxes of chewing gums. They then searched our bags and found pussy's DVDs, Bernerd's friends cigarettes and the rest of our chewing gums. Sam hid our DVDs so they weren't discovered haha.

They found one of pussy's DVDs suspiciously R-rated so they had him break the disc and throw it away. They gave chance and returned the rest of them to him. But they took the chewing gums and referred us to the customs, Pussy went in for a long time (read his blog for his experience) and we waited there by the car as if we were criminals for like half an hour.

It was a terrifying experience..i have now encountered the normal polices and custom polices in my life now...whats next? Not the traffic police please....

This isn't the end. I had Bernerd sent us back to the Turf club where i parked my bike. The gate was closed so we alighted at the gate and walked in. The whole place was quiet..not a soul..not even a horse. We had a shock when we saw the carpark. It was pitch black...there wasn't even an "EXIT" light lit inside. I'm so glad for the small torch on my Nokia 5100..it proved its usefulness yet again..although not by much. I'm so glad i had Sam there with me...haha ok i admit...i would have been quite freaked out going in the carpark alone..ghosts one thing...dogs another haha. We walked cautiously in close to each other and guess what...we walked past my bike without even realising it. We had walked quite a distance in front before turning back and seeing a silhouette of my bike. You can imagine my relief when i see my bike...for awhile i was so afraid i'll be the next victim of another bike theft. I also let out another sign of relief when i turn on the bike and the headlights came on...what an experience...fun it is..scary it is..cool it is...

Turning point in life

Today...or rather this week..shall be one of the turning points in my life...i boldly told my mum that she don't need to give me pocket money anymore. I'm going to pay for my own expenses by saving up and working. I hope i pull through...

I'm so glad its a friday...how good friday feels when you're working..

Tell me why

While browsing the singapore bike forum a few days ago..i saw this guy selling his newly bought Honda CBR1000RR..he claimed that he has only travelled 200km with it and is sick of riding haha. 200km? That's hardly a full tank of petrol used...he must be insane.

Just today i saw another ad which is more ridiculous. He's selling his newly bought Yamaha 04R1...guess his mileage.....12km!! WTF...i can even jog that distance if i'm fit enough...what kind of a person will buy a bike and sell it after travelling only 12km? Might as well don't buy lah..waste money..

The easy side of work

Went to work with one side of my eyes sore today...don't ask me why..i dunno why too. 1st thing that happened in the office today was a fire drill...i was late as usual so i didn't take part in the drill wahaha.

My colleague won TOTO yesterday...he got 4 numbers...don't laugh...it's only $30 god damn dollars..how pathetic is that. Haha anyway fishy and i persuaded him to share his luck by treating us lunch. We ordered one whole chicken plus dofu and 2 bowls of rice each from a chicken rice stall at Ubi..haha we were too paiseh to make him pay all $20 with his pathetic winnings so we paid $5 each haha.

Worked till 8pm today..latest i've ever worked. Anyway anyone of you heard of a program call Macro Express? The person who designed this software is a god damn genius. He made working for people like me so much easier haha. The program is designed to note common keystrokes, mouse moves and practically everything else to do your job for you. All you have to do is program the macro properly and tada you can be one big slacker in the office. It made my job of partial data entry so damn easy....i can allow the macro to do my job for me and go to chat with my colleagues or waste time in the toilet haha. I wish i can openly read magazines, newspaper or storybooks but i can't.

Of course work is not as easy as described in the paragraph above..there are still work waiting for me to complete...but overall this is a realy good job for me to kill time before enlisting and earn enough money for my next bike haha.

I watched spiderman 2, played mahjong with my colleagues and lost during the weekend....i'm a bit too lazy to elaborate....wahaha...spiderman 2? 3.5/5 stars bah

Friday!

Would you believe it...i was 1 hour late for work today...i supposed my alarm went off and i off it without knowing it. But i'm glad the people are flexible here..they come in 1 hour late themselves so it's ok.

Stayed up to watch Greece the underdogs vs Czech the dark horse, and oh my what a game..managed to win a bit of money and in the end..the underdogs emerged victorious. Thus the finals of Euro 2004 will be a repeat of the opening match. I predict a portuguese victory but they might not do it within normal time...just my predictions though...always take the opposite..haha

It's finally friday...i want to watch spiderman 2. Haven had time for it and Sam has been busy. But i'll definitely catch it. Spiderman is definitely the best looking superhero of all time...with the mask on of course.

Got a call from cmpb the other day asking me if i would like to enlist early on the 22th of July..i had to reject them because i already have a job. Why reject me when i requested for it and tell me only now that it's possible after all...crap

What do you think

While watching tv just now..i suddenly had an idea of how the world actually revolves. What goes around comes around. For example if Elvis Presley didn't die of drugs abuse years ago, his fan Theresa wouldn't have committed suicide because of grief. And if Theresa didn't commit suicide, she might have given birth to a son that might have made great inventions that would have greatly affect our modern world.

And if Hitler parents didn't die, he wouldn't have had a bad childhood and have developed anti-semitic feelings. And if that didn't happen, he might have been a different person altogether and wouldn't even enter politics and try to take over the world. And if his army didn't kill those million of jews and POWs, i'm sure many of them would have made a difference to others' lifes and even the world. One of them might have set up a company to topple microsoft?

Ok i think i'm being carried away here..i shall stop here.

I got a parking summon again yesterday...$25 god damn dollars..but this time its my fault..i had park at my house's carpark because of laziness wahaha. And today i finally realised why my bike's handling have been weird..one of the handlebar is bent...i think when i dropped it few months back. They told me i might have to change my whole handlebar..i wonder how much that will cost tmd.

Oh by the way there's a new 2004 Honda Phantom..saw it at the bike shop today. Quite an improvement i must say....ignition is now found at the front and there's a low fueling warning light (something the old phantom don't have)...the seats look nicer and more classy now..the design is overall very much nicer..3 cheers for Honda! HIPHIPHIP

What if

What if one day you found out that the world actually revolves around you? Everything that happens in the world happens for a reason and that is because of you. God made some things happen because he wants to reward, pamper, warn or even punish you.

For example when you bet on a football match, God made the team you bet on win because he wants you to be happy too...thus as a result making other people in the world win and cheer together with you. Vice versa he can make things happen the other way around.

He might create a world war so that you'll experience sufferings and death of your love ones so that you'll learn to be a stronger person..bring others into your life so that they will teach/love/care/entertain/accompany/anger you.

He probably made Brad Pitt exist so that he can act Troy and Ocean 11 for you. Unbelievable? Ya i think so too.

If there's really such a person then isn't he the most important person in the world? He'll be dub VVVVVIP all over the world...world leaders around will be observing his every action and consult him for every decisions they make. Of course all these are just my imaginations..i don't believe such a person exists....Jesus will only stand on earth once and there was 2000 over years ago. But then again...God might have thought of having more children thus giving Jesus new brothers and sisters? Hmmm...wahahaha

OLE KNN!

Bastard france made me lose more money again! Wassup with the big teams in this tournament? I'm damn sad but i'll persevere...i'll win my money back from those god damn bookies ARGH

Something new

I haven added any new features or made any changes to my blog for ages now. Here's one today...i added music..its Forrest Gump theme song..one of my all times favourite. If it clashes with your own playlist while you're here..just stop or mute it.

Continue reading my stories and sharing your precious comments...i appreciate it ;)

Life at work

Had lunch with 3 other colleagues today..they are all born in the 1970s but they do look younger. There's one of them that has got her riding license. She told me that she got it when she's 21 yrs old..and that it was 8 yrs ago...she definitely don't look that old haha. Anyway she's the super fit type...she blades home after work...office's at kaki bukit..she lives at East coast...most of you will go: "what the?!" now. I'm equally surprised...blading that far and on uneven roads is surely not easy.

I also chatted with this guy colleague of mine last night over dinner. He's 27 this year and boy is his life quite similiar to mine. He graduated from Temasek poly years ago..and was at SAJC for one yr..don't that sound familiar?! He came here after he ORD and has been here since..that's about 3 yrs now.

Oh and i want to mention i have this colleague by the name of KyuKyu (at first i thought it was QQ)..she came in at the same day as me. When she introduced herself to others...they all didn't know what to say..QQ? Tan KyuKyu Phua KyuKyu or KyuKyu Ng KyuKyu Ong i don't know..haha

There's work non stop today..even better..time passes more quickly..its almost 6pm now..but i'm not sure if i have to work OT... *fingers crossed*

Company dinner

Its only my 2nd day of work today and i had a company dinner..or should i say department dinner. I'm in the returns department and 13 people turned up for today's dinner...11 girls and 2 guys including myself. Found out that many of the ladies are born in 1981 and 1982, and they feel old..

While having dinner..which is at Amara Hotel by the way..they went out to do some shopping..they came back with a pair of Charles and Keith slippers each..i must agree that earning a woman's money is real easy. Anyway the buffet was quite ok..a large variety but i must say the tempura and soft shell crab there tasted funny. Its 30+ per head but i didn't have to pay so who cares haha.

First day of work

Its the first day of work for me today after what seemed like a long break for me. I had difficulty sleeping on sunday night after freshly quitting the night owl club. I turned off the lights in my room and watched tv..putting it on sleep mode. F1 racing started at 1am and it kept me awake all the way till 2.45am...and what a race it was....only 12/20 drivers left at the end of the race with the rest either crashing out or retiring.

At 2.45am..you know it..euro fever. Spain vs Portugal also kept me awake all the way till 4.45am..it was only then that i decided to stop extending the sleep mode time of my tv and try to sleep. Success at last but i had to wake up 3 hours later at 7.45am to get ready for work.

I avoided using CTE to go to work because of the 2 irritating ERP gantrys there. So i used Upper Serangoon Road and then to PIE. Along potong pasir, there's this guy by the road taking down plates of vehicles driving on the bus lane. I hope he didn't take down my plate, because i had squeezed past a few cars by cutting into the bus lane. If the summon really comes...it will be really expensive...if i'm not wrong it'll come with some demerit points too..god damn.

Managed to report for work right on time at 9am and to my surprise i wasn't the only new staff that day. There were other temp and perm staffs reporting for their first day of work too. I had practically nothing to do the whole day except for a little bit of understanding and operating the SAP system plus printing reports. I surfed the net and chatted online to kill time..occasionally also accompanying my friend fishy as he takes a fagging break downstairs.

The office consists of predominantly females. But fortunately, unlike bata, they are generally young people haha. The lights will go out on me early tonight...no more late nights for me...good bye fellow cyber owls

End of my holidays

Caught around the world in 80 days with Sam yesterday. Its quite a ridiculous show, but then again it wasn't meant to be realistic and i had my share of laughs...definitely not worth the $8.50 i paid. Oh yeah and i must mention they use famous people as their extras too.

I also played mahjong for 3 consecutive nights with different groups of people...lol i guess i'm just enjoying myself as much as i can before i start work tomorrow.

Work is going to be at Hitachi at Kaki Bukit..i hope i'll learn something there, make new friends and enjoy myself. Going to miss those late nights and chatting with my fellow night owls.. ;)

My johor trip

Went Johor yesterday with puss and bernerd. Went to fetch puss at around 10.45am and headed for Kranji MRT. We then took a bus from there to Johor because i didn't want to ride in. I've been absenced from Malaysia for a long time now and yesterday was my first return to the causeway after nearly 10 years.

First we took a cab to Holiday Plaza. It was this place that i used to visit with my family long time ago. It brings back old memories and it looks like it has changed though. The Macdonalds and KFC is still there. We first had lunch at KFC and the meals there is half as much as that in Singapore...cheap! The whipped potato also had that classic taste...the ones i used to eat. After that we headed immediately to the pirate shops...i bought lots of games and puss bought lots of movies. We soon realised that the place is boring so we took a cab down to City Square.

City Square is big but quite boring..soon after we were bored again. Bernerd drove in to meet us at around 4pm and we drove to Pelangi Plaza (Giant). We walked around there for like 5 mins? And we got bored. We then headed to Eden Gardens and it was boring too. OMG JB is super boring.

There's a stretch of food street beside City Square that have many stores. We had a good feast there buying a big stingray + sotong for S$10! We also had claypot rice, chee cheong fun, ching teng etc...good stuffs..i'll definately go back again.

I might be starting work next week...the agency girl just called this morning. Very well because i've lost all my money betting at Euro2004..i'm so not meant for gambling..

England vs France

This must be one of the most exciting match i've ever bet on. Daniel, Bucky and myself had each place $5 on a 1-1 draw between the 2 sides and watched the match together at Jackie's house. The odds was $6.50 and we could have won $32.50.

England opened the scoring during the 1st half with a bullet header from Frank Lampard much to my delight. After England's goal we were supporting France all the way. The 2nd half was breath taking. First, England was awarded a penalty...David Beckham steps up and misses! We all shouted in delight. But it wasn't over and we needed a France goal.

Then one minute into injury time..France was awarded a free kick. Zinedine Zidane steps up and curls in for the goal! All 3 of us stood up and starting jumping around and high-fiving each other in delight. 1-1!!

To our horror, our delight was shortlifted. With only 1 minute left on the clock before the referee will blow, Steven Gerrard made a terrible mistake and accidentally pass the ball to Henry in the box...David James tried to stop him but trips him...penalty! WTF?! We were all lost for words...in other words we were dumbfound. We were praying for another miracle. Zidane steps up again and unfortunately he scores. We were fucking pissed...we thot we had the money in the bag...OLE KNN!

The start of Euro 2004

I had a shocking start to euro 2004...i'm sure i'm not the only one. The host country portugal fell to the mights of the lowly greece 2-1. Obviously i lost money. But i'm glad i won back my money for the 2nd match Spain vs Russia. I hope to win more throughout this month...OLE

I found a job

I found a temp job at Hitachi. Its located at Kaki Bukit and the pay will be $7/hr. Good money but then the job came just before Euro2004 is about to start. What luck...but nvm money is more important.

I'll most probably get the job although its not confirm yet. I'll need to wait for Adecco to call me before i know when i am to start work etc.

Long day...very rare for me nowadays

Had a field day today. Although i did wake up only in the afternoon as usual...i decided that i wanted to collect my hi-fly pay and then meet bernerd for snooker. I reached neil road at 2.30pm and parked at some double yellow line in a neighbourhood nearby expecting to pick up the money fast and leave. I walked down neil road only to find shophouse 150 and not shophouse 155. I called Laijin for help as he had already collected his pay yesterday. His directions were confusing...i walked up and down and still couldn't find the place. All along while looking for the place, i was worried that i'll get a summon for parking illegally. After all a summon for parking on double yellow will be at least $50 and paying $50 to collect my salary of $80 is ridiculous! Moreover i was already freaking late in meeting Bernerd for snooker..we had arranged at 3pm. After walking for nearly 1 hour, i decided that i didn't want to look any further..i gave up and wanted to come back another day. As i was riding out..i rode past neil road 155...it was within walking distance from where i parked. God dammit can you believe it!? I walked so far and the place is just so nearby? I was so in a hurry and tired i just rushed in without smiling or anything. I took my pay and left.

After snooker bernerd and i had dinner at Edo Sushi Paradiz Centre. The food suck big time...it was expensive..unfresh and they don't serve ice water. I'm never ever going back there again..to think they even gave me a Edo sushi loyalty card..a chop for every $10 you spend..and you have to accumulate the chops within a month. Do they think that i'm stupid?! Boycott Edo!

After dinner i met Sam and brought her to KK hospital. No..not what you think it is. Her 3 months old baby cousin has been admitted for an overdose of medicine. Her mum had apparently understood wrongly and fed him medicine every 2 hrs instead of the correct dose of twice everyday. Cute chubby fellow that was crying away when we arrived..his face seem slightly swollen but they doctors did what they're good at and he's ok now. Glad for that and hopes he'll sleep soundly tonight just like he did just now.

I just got back from supper at jalan kayu with pussy. The number of big new bikes i see that just makes me so envious. There were 3 new Honda CBR1000-RR, a few Suzuki GSX-1000R and one Kawasaki Ninja. After supper we decided to explore some quiet and spooky territories. We went to seletar camp which is near Jalan Kayu. There are many houses there but the place is as quiet as it can get. But occasionally a car or two will pass by. It was yet another cold night but we endured. The spooky abandoned house we explored a few months ago was dark and totally different at night. We freaked out even wanting to shine my high beam on it.

After exploring seletar camp, we went to Punggol. The haunted house that i was brought to by my teachers during my sec 2 adventure camp is now situated prominently in front of an LRT station. It still look scary though because its dark. We then headed towards Punggol beach. That place is also a long stretch of dark roads but there is life there. While riding, there's this dog lying on the road as if its dead..and thats what we thought initially. Only after we pass by it then it suddenly sprang onto its feet in shock. Obviously we were shocked too and we sped off. To our horror at the next turn there's another dog sitting down there staring at us. I had turned into a dead end and was slowing reversing...after i changed direction the dog suddenly started to bark and chase us. Of course he couldn't get near us..we're glad he didn't decide to attack when i was reversing...we would have died...

We also past by Punggol Marina and puss told me many couples go there make out. There's also a nice fishing place there and i think i want to go fishing there one day. Who has rods to lend?

The best bet

Just watched the latest of Jack Neo's production..the best bet. Nice and reasonably funny show. Lots of hokkien and chim hokkien idioms and phrases they came out themselves. Not much to say about it...Watch it to feel Singaporean again

Rossi is awesome!

I am mad..i just finished eating 4 pieces of kfc chicken, 4 nuggets, 4 whipped potatoes and i still have popcorn chicken to go. I had to order so much for them to make the delivery (i lazy go buy) and i have to finish it myself. I had wanted to rush home for motogp after soccer. But somehow i'm glad i'm not so bloated.

Just finished watching the live telecast of motogp..its at italy today. Valentino Rossi is simply awesome...they were countless times he was overtaken during the race but somehow he just manages to regain the lead momentarily. Today's race was exceptionally exciting and dramatic. WIth 5 laps to go, it started raining and with Rossi leading, he opted to pause the race. Every rider went back to their pit and changed their tyres. The race restarted 15 mins later and the ended with the same 3 leaders b4 the pause making it to the podium. Rossi 1st Giberau 2nd and Biaggi 3rd.



If only anyone understands what i am saying....................i wanna be a racer!

8 days

Was reading 8 days just now, fairly interesting magazine. And by the way, Zoe Tay looks a perfect wife. Beautiful, famous, rich, non-temperamental (i think), gentle, non-slutty nor flirty etc etc..everything u can ask for a wife. Geez..

And i just read that the ancient Troy is actually Turkey in modern days. The legendary Trojan Horse can be found not in Greece but in Turkey..something new?

The interview of Carrie Chong and her car was also interesting. She actually mention stuffs most people will do with their cars. Eg. taking extra care to wash and clean your car the first few months you wash it...and she said it right..it gets a bit tiring and plus the novelty justs wear off.

Oh ya pussy is back from Greece..he just messaged me...can't wait to see the pics!

They polices hate me...do i have a punk face?

While walking home today, this police car stopped and checked me. This isn't the first time it has happened to me...in fact its the 3rd time. The first incident was the worst..don't wanna mention it. The second time was ok..just a routine check and there're off. This third time was even better, they took my ic to check while the other officer chatted with me. He asked what i was doing and when i told him i'm waiting for my enlistment, he told me to enjoy myself as much as i could blah blah blah.

What i don't understand is why do i always get checked? Do i have a punk face or what? Do i dress like a punk? Do i walk like a punk? I don't think so...the polices just hate me. Every time they check me, its embarrassing when people passing by stares at you as if you've done something wrong.

I understand that they're doing their job and they're here to keep the neighbourhoods safe...but screw them!

Harry Potter and the stereotyping of polices

Nope don't be mistaken...its not the next part of the Harry Potter serials..just my very own story.

Went shopping with weijian today. Bought a set of boxers cum briefs while shopping. Its the kind of boxers that are tighter than usual...new kind of underwear for me..haven tried it yet..hope its comfortable. Weijian bought a set of underwears too..not the same as mine though.

While he was trying on shoes at beetle bug in Wisma, he left the taka paper bag with his box of underwear on the seat. We had walked till Far East Plaza before he realised he left it there. We walked all the way back and guess what...it's still there on the seat..untouched unnoticed...nobody wants his stinky underwears haha.

Met Sam at night to watch Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.



I have only one thing to say about it..very harry potter..full of fantasy, mysteries, new creatures, magic etc etc. Catch it if you're a Harry Potter fan...if not..don't waste money..nothing special about this as compared to the others.

On my way home..i encountered another road block along AMK ave 1. Seems like a major operation coz there were at least 5 police bikes and 3 police cars...unless they were all gathering there to slack of course. Just like any road blocks, the polices only retain the sportsbikes and sportscars for checking. Family cars, taxis and scooters like mine were given the signal to move along...that's good of course. When i passed by..a mazda mx-5 and Honda Fireblade were stopped for a check. The MX-5 deserves to be checked..he sped past me before that and was driving dangerously..stupid ang mor driver with a chick inside. My police friends had told me that these polices stop cars and bikes with babes on it just to look at the babes..chao tikos.

Polices are stereotyping...they are prejudiced against sportsbikes...but that won't stop me from getting one in the future..good luck to myself ;)

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

Me in my $109 suit with the rest posing with CPD enthusiast Mr Lim! (Not me ah..the teacher)



Us with our careperson and lousy but yet patient teacher Ms Syphilis opps i mean Phyllis Chong.



Me making my speech on stage that day..........



More than half my class here..10 not present



Us with our former careperson Ms Poor thing (Pearl Teng)

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. ;)

Anniversary

Will be celebrating one year of blogging for me next month. It has been one year..i started blogging when i was bored and down in my SIP company. It's almost one year now can you believe it. I've around 185 posts to date...on the average i post once every 2 days..not a bad record..HAPPY BLOGGING DAY FOR ME!

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..

Another holiday anyone?

It's raining now and i can't go out for work..but it's stopping now so i guess i'm going out soon. Anyone interested in another holiday trip? Maybe redang, penang, genting or somewhere else?

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...

Quite a screwed up day

Played mahjong last night and won some money...after that we went for supper at the nasi lemak store holland v filmed their show. Due to my laziness..i decided to park at my house's carpark but all the bike lots were full..so i just parked at this space near them..it's not the first time i've parked there anyway. But this morning i found a parking fine on my bike...$25 god damn dollars...sigh...what a rude shock for my morning.

While i was travelling to sam's house...the hello panda i was munching halfway fell off my bike onto the road haha..dammit man. After that we went to KK hospital to see sam's cousin's newborn son...cute little fellow..had my share of carrying him.

After that we went to marina to collect my suit before heading for plaza sing to catch a movie. While going off i forgot to take my god damn cashcard again! The inevitable happened and now i'm one cashcard less again..Super duper suey...feeling sore now...going to play mahjong again later..i better win!!

OK the nice thing about the day is that i watched a beautiful show..beautiful boxer



A nice touching movie that is based on a true story...you guys should watch it....5 thumbs up...

Life after polytechnic

For the past few days...i've been either slacking at home or going out..i have no more objectives for the time being. I guess i'll miss polytechnic life. After all which other kind of education can allow you to wake up as late as 2pm for lesson...skip lectures, not do tutorials, play 4/5 of the time, study last minute and still pass? Polytechnic is it...i'm glad i chose this path but then again i'm regretful because i could have gotten a place in the Uni and coming out of army now. But what the hell i enjoyed life..met some nice people and interesting friends...got a nice caring gf...most importantly learnt many stuffs about business and information technology many JC students can only go DUH about haha.

I'm praying to score well for this last semester...results coming out before 10th May i was told..pray for me. I've another upcoming paper to study for as well...the all important SAT paper...it'll determine whether i have a chance to apply for SMU..please help me score well...pls pls pls...

Went swimming today with the guys in TP this afternoon...and went to the newly renovated Chomp Chomp for dinner..of all time it had to rain just when i was about to go home. Here i am..just home and just bathed...how refreshing. I've an urge to play mahjong nowadays...anyone interested? Call me leh...

I'm a free man! At least for now

Done with my last paper and went for a movie after that...or should i say 2 movies. The first show is fifty first dates...excellent show with a nice mix of humour, cute animals and romance. Jean Danker's 3 out of 5 bites was an understatement..i give it an least a 4 and a half stars.



Ok i confess...we didn't pay for the next movie..we visited the restrooms after our movies and somehow someone suggested walking into the next theatre to watch another movie and we all follow suit. The show is Dawn of the Dead and before that Henry and Ah long actually wanted to watch this instead of Fifty First Dates and boy am i glad we managed to convince them. I won't say the show is lousy...it's retarded. The people had time to play chess..sniping games and have some romance after their families, friends and spouses had died and become zombies. There were also ridiculous scenes where this girl ran out to the zombies to try to save a stray dog they had just found and a bomb exploding just a few metres behind their "fortified" bus and nothing happened to the bus. Throughout the whole show...there weren't much help provided by the government or blah blah...it was all only about the casts trying to save their own lifes. My predictions that all the zombies will die and everyone will be saved in the end didn't come through...instead the ending is worse...it's not worth mentioning...what a stupid show...now i'm wondering if this show, changing lanes, monster or supernova is worse...crap..i'm glad i didn't pay for it..why the hell did newpaper rate the show 4/5 stars? Never trust their movie reviews!



Pls don't waste your money watching it...don't go even if it's free. Oh and did i mention the zombies don't stagger? They run...and they can outrun your car..beware! Ok enough about the retarded show..

After my show i went Chinablack and boy were my legs aching after that. I didn't ride because i wanted to drink...although i drank quite a bit..i was still pretty sober...but better to be safe than sorry right. I took the nightrider home and i must say it wasn't any safer. The driver was napping while he was driving....there was one bend when he almost went straight and bang something...but somehow he reacted fast and turned in time...i guess nobody on the bus noticed because most of them were asleep.

One paper done

I'm done with one of my 2 exams paper business intelligence...have a bad bad feeling i'll either fail or just pass for that paper. Anyway who cares now...i just wanna get the other paper over and done with and relax. But wait..i still have SAT paper so study for...i hope i do well..or else my chance of getting into a local U is gone...my only hope now is SMU...i'm praying that i excel for my SAT (highly unlikely) and impress the interviewers (even more unlikely)...pray pray...

American Idol is tonight...it was kinda surprising JPL went out last week. Oh i'm back to downloading music from Kazaa...shhhh..

Starsky and Hutch

Just watched the movie this afternoon...it wasn't all that funny...but it was alright...a nice movie to watch when you're down and out. This sort of comedy don't make me laugh all that much...i laugh at stupidier movies such as dude where's my car and the scene when the news broadcaster was made to blabber rubbish in Bruce Almighty.

A similar sort of comedy to starsky and hutch that is in the movies now is 50 first dates...i'll catch that too...but only after my exams of course...oh by the way...don't ben stiller reminds u of adam sandler and vice versa?

Poly

Bought the first blazer of my life yesterday...it costed me $109 from Domanchi. Some ah beng brand but who the heck cares...it looks like a perfectly normal blazer and the brand isn't carved on the outside...most importantly...$109 is cheap for a blazer.

Just used it for my FYP presentation just now...thought it was dumb...the lecturers didn't focus much on our system...instead they asked us outside topics such as cost benefit and some other stuffs. Exams coming and i haven't studied much...beginning to worry now...it might just be the last 2 papers of my life..i better study hard and do well.

During my time in poly (especially yr 3), i've seen, heard and encountered more politics than all my life. You get to hear comments, gossips from classmates/schoolmates talking about others behind their back but i guess it's all part and parcel of life...i'll probably encounter even more when i go out to work next time. I just do not wish to get involved...and just finish my schooling life. Looking forward to army...hopefully i'll enjoy myself there...the 2 1/2 years will pass more quickly then. Cheers.

My Sunday

Went to watch The prince & me today with Sam and pussy....find it a pretty nice show...a touching hilarious fairytale-like story. It can make you fantasise and by the way...the police bikes in Denmark are pretty cool.

Feeling so sleepy now...have been sleeping not earlier than 4am these past few days.

All projects are finally over and we're left with FYP presentation and 2 exam papers, after that i can say good bye to poly and probably also schooling life...how sad is that... :(

I sold my bike

Yes i sold my bike...but don't be alarmed...not my atlantic...but my GT. Lol.

I had bought it with my salary earned from working for one month in my friend's father's factory during my secondary 2 days. Now i don't ride it anymore..and someone finally makes an offer for it..so i sold it away.

Here's a tribute to it.

Why my enlistment date so late?!

Just got my enlistment letter today....29th sept 8.45am bmtc sch one...dammit! Why so late?! I graduate in late April..what am i gonna do?!

What a show

I just came home from watching a new movie...you guessed it...Passion of Christ. It's one of the bloodiest, sadistic, most gruesome show i've ever watched. The show was one of the best stomach chunking movie around and none of us enjoyed the movie at all. I don't understand why churches are buying tickets for others to watch this show...i don't believe any non-christian will want to convert after watching it.

The show was more like something out of faces of death....everything was sick...it was fucked up...don't watch it if you haven't caught it yet...it's not worth it...not even if it's free...don't worry you haven't missed anything...my ratings? A point blank 0/10. Haha

Cheers.

Bought new helmet for Sam

Went to Motoworld at Kaki bukit after school today. Finally bought her a full face helmet. It's HJC and it costed $120...pretty reasonable i guess. It's quite comfortable and it's quiet..Value for money...

After that i went to meet my cousins Andy and Winston for dinner. They missed my 21st birthday celebration and wanted to make up for it with this meal. We ate at ricetable at Suntec. It's an Indonesian restaurant on the 3rd floor of Suntec just beside Courts. It's a ala carte buffet and the food is pretty good. It's also considered cheap as it's only $18.80++ per person and there are over 20 dishes.

We chatted about old times and present times and had some fun. Here i am at home now relaxing...cheers hehe

Dim Sum again

My dim sum craving came again today and i went with pussy to Yumcha restaurant at Chinatown. It was our 1st time there and i must say the food is quite nice. And they had this innovative call table gadget that we can read more about at www.tablecall.com.

Interesting right? There's this new dim sum dish with mango and prawn stuffing wrapped with deep fried bing...it's nice...order it if u all ever go there. The bill came out to be a cool exact $40...i had my fill...and it curb my crazing.

After that we went to army market at beach road because pussy wanted to buy a backpack for his greece trip. Didn't buy anything in the end coz he still wants to scout around. We played the new game battlefield Vietnam for awhile and then we left.

It's Arsenal vs Manu tonight..who will win...Manu of coz...my predictions? 2-1 haha

Insane pillion

When i was riding home just a few minutes ago along AMK ave 3, i heard an unusal din while i was in the comfort of my nice full face helmet and with engine sounds around me. When i turn around to look, i found out that it was this woman pillion making a lot of noise as the guy was riding his super 4. Apparently they are a couple and the woman is pissed with something...she was making a lot of noise all the way and i can actually hear it. Although i can't make out what she's mumbling but i can sure hear her voice loud and clear.

When we stopped side by side at a red light, she continued making a lot of noise (complete with hand actions) and her boyfriend just kept quiet and didn't even look at her and do anything. A real irritating woman i name the insane pillion.

Update

Congrats to my cousin for her new baby friend which she gave birth to yesterday. Haven seen him yet, i guess i'll go down later...i love babies..they're so nice to play with, carry and disturb haha.

Played mahjong at jack's house yesterday till 5am...was supposed to go for some remedial lecture today but i couldn't wake up..now i regret haha.

Will be going to my former Bata colleague's birthday party later at Pasir Ris Costa Sands. She took good care of me while i was there, i had better buy something nice for her birthday...but i wonder what..

Can't remember what i'm supposed to blog about...only 4 paragraphs? Hmmm

My monday

Got back 2 project grades today...got C for both...bloody bitch teachers..i did my work and actually put in quite a lot of effort...C?! Damn..i'm resigned to fate.

Went Parkway Parade to collect Sam's formally squashed phone today. She's lucky repair is free because her Godbrother got a friend working in Nokia Care. After that we had dinner and i dunno what's my latest craze about dim sum...i had it on sat, yesterday and today also. Oriental food is also my number one priority nowadays when i choose my meals...how cool is that eh.

After that guess what...another craze of mine and sam. Going to Kbox. She usually do the singing while i chup in sometimes. I guess i like going there because i can sit down and relax and listen to some old chinese songs i used to like but don't have the titles. The room can also be quite cosy with it's sofa seat and all.

Oh did i mentioned i noticed new obvious scratches on my bike recently? Bloody bitches....

How i spent my actual birthday

Most of what happened to me today can be found at Sam's blog.

Caught Butterfly effects today...quite a good show to me...although ridiculous. Maybe i should try reading my past blogs and you never know...the world around me might start shaking haha.



Staying up late hoping to be able to tahan till 3.30am to watch soccer...it's Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich...sounds exciting already..can't wait.

Whats wrong with singaporeans...thieves...stupid thieves at that

Can you believe it...a few days ago...i lost my P-plate...i place it at the front of my bike...it's broken into 2...put together only by a scotchtape i used...and it was stolen...what the hell is wrong with the thief..that kind of p-plate also want...morever he took only 1 and left the nice nice back plate intact...That's not all...i believe he wanted to steal my bike license plate too...coz it has been partially plucked out when i found it...now it's hanging loose over the front...i'm glad he changed his mind or someone appeared...that S.O.B.

And last night...after riding in the heavy downfall...i parked my bike at the multi storey carpark opp my house. I hung my raincoat, shoe cover and bike cover on the outside to let it dry overnight. When i returned this morning...i found my bike cover missing. It had my bike number plate written on it and the stupid THEIF still wants it. And it actually has one or two holes on it...what's wrong with him man...slut...

And did i mention on my blog that around a month ago...i left my cashcard on my I.U unit. It was raining heavily that day and this monkey still saw it and took it..i applaud him for his sharp eye...but he still caused me some misery...monkey dick dog bitch...haha that's all bye

Photos are out

Hey guys the photos for my birthday are out!

My 21st Birthday Celebration

I rented a car for this special day...it was a 3 months old Hyundai Matrix. I rode my bike and parked it over at the estate of the guy renting me the car. It felt weird driving at first because i didn't feel normal without any helmet on haha. I then drove home to collect my "luggage" which include 4 bottles of liquor, a volleyball and my Xbox haha. After that i went over to Ah Ling's house to collect some food and fetch my Ah Kor. I then headed back home again to fetch my mum. After that i went to Toa Payoh to collect my birthday cake which was baked by my mum's friend. It wasn't the end, i then went on to fetch Samantha but by then my mum was famished so we stopped at the Boon Tong Kee near Sam's house to eat something. I had been trying to rush the whole morning because i needed to go early to book the bbq pit but Ah Ling, Ah Kor and my mum dilly dallied. Due to my inexperience, i didn't know i could book bbq pit through the phone and while i booked the chalet, so when Ah Ling thought of that and booked the pit for us, it was too late and we were told the pit was around 3-5 mins walk away from the room.

When we finally reached the place, we looked at the room and laughed. It's freaking small...probably the size of my room at home. Not a place to hang around tonight i thought. Slowly everyone came and it was nice to see so many people. My marist friends, my poly friends, my cjc friends, my relatives, my family and my church friends. At the end of the party when most of my relatives are gone, my poly friends started on their sabotage scheme. I guess this happens all the time.

1st, they got Sam to smash a small bit of my birthday cake on my face, it felt disgusting. After that stupid horsey smashed another one on the right side of my face...some cream got in my ear and it felt even more disgusting. After that my poly guy friends carried and dragged me to the swimming pool, i was resisting all the way trying to grab lamp posts and tree branches along the way. When they finally reached after a long drag from the bbq pit, I was thrown into the pool. But guess what..i managed to drag my classmate Laijin along with me. Obviously, he got drenched too.

But that's not the worst part...he had his gf carrie's handphone in his pocket. It was the latest Samsung model...E700...definately expensive shit. The phone's screen went blank and they tried to revive it to no avail. Felt really guilty after that, didn't expect this...i didn't deliberately aim Laijin..it's just so happen i only managed to grab him haha. Why did you carry a handphone with you and be in the frontline? Haii...

After that Clarence came for awhile while some of them went over to Sunset Bay to chill. When i joined them there, I was saboed agained. They made a special request to the DJ and made me dance to the tune of "She bangs" on the table top. William Hung style....I've had no professional training you know....

After that we played a game called superhero and Valencia lost. So she had to do a forfeit...but her forfeit was more of a forfeit for me instead. Her forfeit was to go to every table there and tell everyone they had a birthday boy. Then this table offered a toast to me...a shot of something...not sure what it was...maybe tequila..but it was really strong..the 1st shot got my chest really burning.

It wasn't the end...the same group of people came back again and this time..each one of them offered me a toast..i took about 5 shots? I was really dizzy this time. They then went on to make another special request to the DJ and made me perform for them again. This time sunset bay made me take my tshirt off and dance on their bar top...william hung she bangs again...i'm not really good at this you know. While dancing...sunset bay gave me yet another shot! OMG it was really bad this time...i can feel the heat all over my body and the world began spinning around me...but i still know what i'm talking about. Back at the room, i was trying my best to stay awake...i'm so glad i didn't puked...and didn't feel like puking...it would have been bad..before i knew it...i fell asleep. When i woke up...all of them had left and only Sam was left sleeping beside me....

What a birthday what a party thanks guys for the presents the sabos the knockout blah blah...i'll do the same to you all next time..cheers

Change of birthday plans

No more chionging this saturday..instead i've booked a chalet at Sentosa NTUC...will be trying to invite everyone i know there because it's my black jack year...good luck come come! Anyone i missed out in calling pls come! Sms me at 98513124 if u read this thanks! HAHA cheers

Nick

Restart of school

Got back my Business Intelligence and Enterprise Resource Management term test papers today...got 24.5/30 and 42/50 respectively...how cool is that...kinda unexpected...thought i wouldn't do well. Looks like i'm lucky.

My birthday is coming this March the 10th. Will be inviting friends to party at Mu Sultan to celebrate it together with horsey's birthday which is exactly 1 week before mine (Sorry for my last post's information weren't exactly accurate). Anyone keen to party pls call me! It's Ban Luck year for me...once in a lifetime...hope everything will be smooth sailing after that..might be organising something..probably a BBQ or something...not confirm...walk one step see one step haha.

There's no school tomorrow because our only tutorial of the day was cancelled and it's only human nature that we all skip the morning lectures before that haha. So tml is supposingly Sentosa Day if everything goes well. Didn't get to the last time...so well...tml should be the day.

Update

Just took my Napfa test yesterday...just passed on the dot! HENG AH! For my standing broad jump, i actually jumped 215cm but i needed 216cm to passed. So i pleaded with the female tester to give me that one more cm so that i don't need to waste 2 months of my life, to my relief...she agreed! Now i don't need to go through PTP...phew. After that came the 2.4km run, they didn't make use of the school's running track but instead make us run at the reservoir...how weird. But anyhow, the run proved torturous to me...i was so damn shagged towards the end my stitch was giving me excruciating pain and my whole world started spinning a little. But i managed to clock 12.07mins...just nice for a silver.

Today...my whole body is aching...going to do project tml...nothing on thursday...friday should be sentosa day if all goes well...anyone game? Will be celebrating mazi's bday at MS this sat if all goes well too...making full use of my holiday...

Valentine's day

I haven blogged for nearly a month now; I would say the reason is I’m lazy.

Today is Valentine’s Day, woke up late in the afternoon and decided I needed to study. I’m not the kind that can study in the own comfort of my room, temptations around will still prove victorious over any determination on my part, if there’s any. So I decided I will go to queenstown library to study because it’s near Sam’s workplace. When I was young, my mum will bring my sis and me to this library every week because my grandparents’ house is just across the road. Just like most libraries around, this one changed a lot too. It got a major makeover and it’s now more modern and new. But then most of the patrons there are of the older generations…why? Because it’s queenstown. Managed to finish one of 3 subjects to be tested this coming term test, but somehow I feel that I still don’t understand a shit.

After the library closed at 5pm, I went to Sam’s workplace to meet her. But she can only leave at around 5.45pm so I waited. Killed some time by taking a Toyota car list and browsed through it. The new Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6 cost around $71k while the Corolla Altis 1.8 cost around $82k. Why pay $11k more for 200cc more? Don’t make sense to me. Ok although there might be more features here and there….but then again…$11k is a lot of money…you can always use it to buy a motorcycle? HAHA.

While waiting, I also went to Harley Davidson’s showroom which is just across the road. There were quite a number of Caucasian Harley riders there. Seem like they hang around there every weekend. Found out that my dream Harley bike the V-rod costs around $42000, which means an installment of $700 over 60 months. CRAZY.

Sam bought me a box of famous amos packed in a heart shaped tin and baked me a chocolate cake for vday this year. Although the cake is simple with no decorations or fillings, I know she spent quite some time on it and I appreciate that…thank you darby! Had decided to bring her to any jewellery store to choose a new pair of couple’s rings for her present this year because she told me she lost hers (it’s a lie) and mine was broken. But when I told her about it, she didn’t want it so we didn’t get it. Instead I decided to treat her to a sumptuous meal and we settled on Crystal Jade Kitchen. Ordered sharks fin, steam Sun Hock, fried cuttlefish, fried chicken and the bill amounted to $84 in the end. Come to think of it, it’s so not worth it. After all, Igors only cost me $75 and there’s performance and entertainment to go with it. What does Crystal Jade has here that make me pay so much? Bon Bon shaking ah ma waitresses? Come on….lol…

After dinner we decided to go for a spin around. Ended up house browsing at Nassim Road (2nd most expensive property….on Monopoly), 2nd avenue and 6th avenue. We also passed by Queen Astrid Park…the most expensive property on Monopoly haha. Passed by many fabulous looking houses I can only dream of owning…some even have their own security guard house…with security guards guarding of course. Some were old but still humongous….spooky though. While riding aimlessly, we ended up all the way in NUS…somewhere near Clementi…amazing yeah. Explored the school compound for awhile and decided to head back for home.

After that I met Weijian and went up to his house to watch Man Utd vs Man City for awhile. When I got back to catch the last 30 mins of the match, the score was 1-0 to manu and manu had one man sent off. Amazing in a blink of any eye, manu started attacking and attacking and goals became abundant. The score was 4-2 to Manu in the end. After that went to play lan with weijian and here I am…just reached home. Have enough significant on goings today to blog about, hope I’ll have inspirations in the coming days. Good night.

It's Friday! So? haha

Just got back from school. Sam forced me to skip one last lecture so that we can go to her Tua Pek Gong Temple in Loyang. Found our way there without much sweat. The place is really spacious with a nice seaside surrounding. Within the temple there's also a hindu temple and a small islam God section..how weird. She prayed for her family and my family and we left. I sent her home and realised that i forgot to send my bike for servicing. So after dropping Sam off i went back all the way to ubi and had my bike serviced for the first time since i got it. Was supposed to have free servicing at mileage 600, 1200 and then 3000 but i didn't know. Now my mileage is 3200+ but who cares....they still did free servicing for me. I changed my oil filter for $28 though.

After servicing i had to rush back home because i was supposed to email my FYP supervisor some html file and he was supposingly waiting for my email so that he can go home. So here i am just emailed him so decided to blog at the same time. Will have to go school tomorrow for some seminar...got to reach there by 8.45am....how sick.....Going to play my xbox now...bye

My Day

School was reasonably short today...from 9am to 12pm...no break all the way though. After that as usual we guys found a study room to play cards and we played all the way to 2pm. After that i sent Darien to Sulin's place before heading home. Finally completed project gotham racing 2 on my xbox. What a fun game...but there are still 3 cars that i'm unable to unlock...must go figure out why. The best car in the game is Ferrari Enzo...and i own one of them! That car can go so fast i leave my computer opponents smelling my smoke all the time haha.

Just came home after a night out with Sam. I went to fetch her at her auntie's place at paya lebar before heading to geylang for dinner. We ate the famous Beef horfun and right now i'm still feeling bloated from that meal. After that we went to Marina wanting to catch a movie but there's no nice show and no nice time slot so we just walked around. Walked to Suntec and back before Sam decided that she wanted to go to some temple in Loyang. She told me it's a very popular temple that used to give goodies to devotees such as gold ingots (not real gold of course) etc....so we decided we wanted to take a look. But on the way there....guess what...it started to rain....so here i am...at home...going back to my xbox soon...hehe...have a good night cheers.

Feeling better now

Has recovered a few days ago....my appetite has also come back...school has started but it's still quite slack. A lot of projects deadline coming up and i'm rushing to finish them up. Chinese New Year's coming...can't wait...my fav day of the year now that i'm older now...used to be Christmas. Hope the money i receive can tide me through cheers!

Dammit sick sick sick

Damn bangkok chicken balls damn oysters...i've been have slight diarrhoea for a few days now...i think i won't be going to school tomorrow. Self declared long weekend...will go see a doc tml and get my MC....dammit dammit dammit

Why the prejudice against motorbikes?

Whenever people take my bike, they will ask: “Why don’t you get a car?” And the straight forward answer from me will always be: “I can’t afford one.” People tend to think since I can afford a bike then I can afford a car. That is so not true. The cost and maintenance of a car can be almost 10 times more than a motorbike. The COE alone is already literally 100 times more.

It’s more affordable to maintain a 1000cc bike than a 660cc car. I cannot disagree that a car does provide more security and comfort, but one has to think about the parking, the petrol etc. Parking for a motorbike is usually free, if not it will not amount to more than $1 per entry.

It’s true that riding can be dangerous, but driving can be dangerous too. Why do people always make a big fuss whenever someone dies from a motorbike accident but takes it as a norm whenever someone dies from a car accident? You don’t see mummy preventing you from jaywalking or taking a plane whenever there is an accident as a result of the two.

And this afternoon when I told Sam that I will upgrade my bike next time when I acquired my higher class license, she made a big fuss. It’s just in everybody that urges to upgrade right? Don’t you ever think of owning a BMW/Mercedes you already have a nice Starlet you can drive? The same goes for me…my dream bike will be something 1000cc and above…something that can make me lift my head high on the roads and cruise past cars at ease hehe. I’ll definitely want to own a car in the future but now’s not the time.

I’m happy that currently I have a nice bike I can call my own and I can forget the hassle of waiting or running for a bus, squeezing with the crowd etc. This bike is just my own personal transport…my way of commuting…I also want to own a car but I can’t afford it now. So people please don’t ask me “Why don’t you get a car” next time k?
