Ate at this muslim stall yesterday, the food wasn’t bad..in fact it’s quite nice…expensive though…it was $15 each. After that we wanted to catch wishing stairs at Lido but they didn’t have it so we went to Cineleisure. Got our tickets for the 9.40pm show and boy what a show. The show has many shock scenes and can make u jump out of your seat. The show combines horror (Ghost of course), thriller (killer) and disgust (the part when the girl’s toe bleed…the sound was disgusting. And also the part when the fat woman fell on her own vomit…yucks). I guess it’s worth the money…it’s capable of making your imaginations go wild but not to the extend of giving you nightmares..catch it if you’re into such shows.The show ended at around 11.30 and we all headed home.
Talking about today, I’m left with only $4 for lunch today..hope it’s enough..spent too much yesterday…shit. Going to part with my Phantom this evening…the new owner is coming to collect it here after my work. I hope I can collect my bike by tomorrow…

Thursday
Guess what happened today..this ang mor from Bata Toronto gave everyone in the office including me 2 rambutans each. Ang mor give ang mor tan......haha..is that a racist comment? Opps?
Going for Hani's birthday later...meeting them at far east...i think i'll be going home first...want to change and bathe and slack awhile first. So far the buyer of my Phantom haven call me yet so i guess i might not have to hand over the bike today after all. I intend to be a good guy and give him a full tank...or should i? Hmmmm...
I'm so bored now...still left with 1.5 hours...tahan!!!

Can you believe it? I got myself a new bike. It’ll be my last day riding the Phantom today or tomorrow. Don’t scold me don’t flame me I’m not fickle. I promise I’ll stick to this bike till I get my class 2 then I’ll upgrade to the Suzuki Burgman 650 hehe. Anyway here’s some pictures of new new baby...
I chose red colour because i find that it looks sportier hehe. Anyway sad to say byebye to my Phantom...it has served me well...Keeping me punctual for appointments, work, school etc and most importantly keeping me safe on the road. I hope my new bike can serve me as well or hopefully even better! Anyway here’s a last look at my phantom…byebye baby……HEHE

Midweek
Guess where i went yesterday after work, i went down to my bike shop to enquiry about how much will i have to top if i were to trade in my phantom for an Aprilia Atlantic. I was told i will need to come out with $1500 to push my bike back into the shop...that's ridiculous considering the $1000 downpayment i paid also...that means they bike is buying my bike back for only $2000 odd...no way. So i got myself a private buyer and might be selling soon, hope it goes through...
Didn't jog yesterday, not sure if i'll be doing it today too hehe. Met up with Sam for awhile after work because she was here to meet xiaowen and friends for some gathering. After she left to meet xiaowen i left too. I took the route at ROM there behind parkmall wanting to enter CTE, it was a very very stupid mistake. By taking that route i left the CBD area and to enter CTE via orchard i had to enter the CBD area for awhile again. I paid freaking $1 for nothing for that darn ERP.
Anyway the army sent me a letter yesterday asking me to go down 20th Nov to submit some documentation...wats up with weekdays...can't they put it on a weekend? Guess i'll just give them a call one of these days to change the date.
Have good news for everyone...more for myself actually. I started to use Kazaa again last night...downloaded a few songs. But a few new songs were screwed up...there were either distorted sounds or the song keeps repeating it's intro. Guess it's their new way of fighting piracy..apparently it's helping. I didn't get all the songs that i want but just some is enough........ : p

Hello
Went jogging again yesterday after work. Tried a new way of training taught by this guy in the bike forum. He told me to run 1 round and time myself..i did that...it was 1min 40secs. He told me to do this continously for 6 rounds resting for around 2 mins in between. And that's what i did yesterday..each round averaged 1 min 40 secs. If i can keep my pace like that for 6 rounds..i calculated total timing to be 10mins...cool..then i can get A...They also told me to eat a banana a few hours before jogging. It is supposed to help but i'm kinda lazy to go buy myself a banana everyday so i'll skip that 1st for now. Maybe only on the day of my Napfa test.
I was so bored last night i went out to clean my bike and decided i should go for a spin myself. I rode around the neighbourhood looking at other people's bike and even sat on a few hehe. It's nice riding at night because of the light traffic and also the cool fresh air. Wanted to go to the airport to look at planes but Sam didn't want to so i decided against going myself.
Work's boring today...my supervisor caught me playing solitaire today haha..die...Hope the day will get better..shall get back to work now...

Weekend's ending
Friday was the 25th month anniversary of Sam and me. I met her after work at City Hall and we went Shaw Centre's (Aka Lido) Crystal Jade to have our dinner. We wanted to catch a movie after that but just couldn't find a time slot and a nice movie. So in the end we went home after dinner.
I slept till 10+ the following day and met up with Pussy. We went to Sim Lim to tempt ourselves. In the end he bought nothing and i only bought an optical mouse, we've nearly curb this spendthrift problem of ours. I bought this microsoft mouse for $33 but i can claim back $10 from microsoft..so in the end it will cost me only $23...cheap stuff..i like! After that we went to a few shopping malls to look for my mum's birthday present. We tested the Osim products..the foot massager, back massager and of course the chair! It was super super super duper comfortable. It came complete with music and it must be one of the most enjoyable thing to do after a long day at work, school etc. I wish i could afford it...it's $5980...and this price is apparently only for this offer period. I will really want to get it for Mum, looks like i'd better wait a few more years. Met up with cheap slut aka kian after that and we walked around shopping. Wanted to catch a movie but just like the day before, we couldn't find a time slot and movie. We even got Mazi to catch Great World City for us but to no avail...all sold out.
So we went to Papa Joe beside Centrepoint to chill out and watch soccer. I ordered Mango Margarita while Puss and Kian ordered Barcadi Breezer and Hooch respectively. I felt a little dizzy after drinking a bit and decided not to finish the whole drink, so i think i was the one that jokingly suggested walking out without paying. And this was what we did! It was freaking scary at that point of time while walking away...but things became better after that. But deep inside my conscience hit me and i didn't feel good....but what the heck...who cares haha.
Planned to meet Fabien, Clarence, Senior, Gab and people at Jalan Kayu for supper at midnight because Fab just got himself a new bike...a honda SP. But we changed plans and went to Hotel Inter con instead. Before that i followed Puss to buy his new handphone from this guy at Hougang. The deal took nearly 1 hour and i got so restless i lay down on my bike and nearly fell asleep. By the time we reached Hotel Inter con it was already 1am and we chatted for around half an hour before leaving. Clarence and Gab came at the time when we were already waiting for the lift to go to the carpark..haha. But we didn't go home, we went to 1 kopitiam at Bishan to eat, drink and chit chat. By the time i got Puss home and reached home myself it was already 3.30am. What a long day.
And today (Sunday), i went to church as usual. After that we met up with Mazi and planned on going to the army market. I thought to myself since i will be passing by kian's house so why not go fetch him there on the way. He was sleeping and had to rush to meet me haha. I dropped him off at the army market and went Great world to fetch Sam. After that we met up with the rest again at Plaza Singapura. I bought this Aloe Vera juice with lime juice shit and i nearly puked! It was one of the worst drink i've ever sipped. It was so bitter my world inside collasped..apparently it's supposed to be like that. I couldn't believe Mazi actually finished it.
After that we went to Carrefour and i grabbed myself an Aloe Vera drink..i was so thirsty i opened it on the spot and started drinking...i wanted to get the bitter taste off my mouth. We walked and walked...i drank and drank...but while at the counter while paying i forgot to tell the cashier that she's supposed to scan that drink on my hand too! I only realised after we got out and Sam reminded me. I didn't bother going back to tell them. After awhile this staff came to us and asked if we paid for that aloe vera drink on my hand. We showed them the receipt which showed payment for 2 aloe vera drink and he said ok. HAHA! In fact we took 3 bottles and the one in my hand is one of them! OPPS I DID IT AGAIN! Not sure if they realised it after that but shopping became uncomfortable after that. But then again...who cares right. HAHA

Fri
Resumed jogging after work yesterday, i just can't believe it..my timing still remained at 12 minutes...how to improve by Sunday? Die lah...Anyway there was a women touch rugby tournament going on yesterday, the semi finals were between Raffles JC, St Andrews JC, Singapore American School and Singapore French school. The other JCs were eliminated..not sure how many took part but I saw Pioneer JC and Nanyang. Looking at them reminds me of my time in JC, how much I enjoyed those days, excluding the studies of course. It was especially fun in CJC and I think it's the of my most enjoyable schooling days of my life. We used to escape after recess to go Orchard together, play soccer, gather in class or the canteen to chit chat and poke fun at teachers. A pity it was a short 3 mths and my darn form teacher that time pissed me off so much that I refused to stay at CJC...all her darn fault. I can't remember what I did, but she called my mummy up and complained, what's up with that? Oh..i think it's because I missed too many lessons, but come on..it's the first 3 mths..i haven't had enough rest after the big Os and I wanted to have fun haha. In the end, I chose SAJC and I have to say it's one of the worse decision of my life. Although I did have fun there, I wasted 1 year of my life and while friends are getting out of army soon, I've yet to enter.
Shall not look back. Anyway after dinner I went on to fetch Sam to her auntie's place. On our way there past Geylang, we saw Henry...what coincidence. But we were on the road so we didn't stop. We also went Geylang Serai with nicole and walked around. It sure was crowded and I felt like I was in Malaysia haha. Anyway I think it's the first time in my life that I've been there and it sure was a new experience. I rode nicole's bicyle, it was really really really small, I'm sure people around were laughing inside...but who cares...at least I don't hehe.
We bought Putu Piring home, it was brown sugar wrapped with flour..something like the chinese's Kuei Tutu. I don't really like the Putu Piring but apparently Nicole love it. Played nicole's Pokemon monopoly, not really fun since they played with their own rule.
Finally it's Friday and it just feels good. Have lots of projects to hand in next year but I don't want to worry about those right now hehe.

THURS
Didn't jog yesterday...it was raining in the evening...and i still can't find my shoe covers..luckily my shoes didn't get wet. Went out after dinner to return VCDs i borrowed on friday.
This morning while riding to work, this Traffic police bike was riding alongside me for quite a distance...he's a real presence on the road..instilling fear into motorist's heart and force them to slow down. It was stressful riding with him but since i'm on a Phantom they don't usually bother to take a second look at you. You'll get extra attention however if you're on a sportsbike. You will have to ride real carefully and slowly or prepare to see the signal to stop over. Sportsbike also gets more attention during roadblocks..i'm glad i didn't get one..but that doesn't mean i won't get one wahaha.
This delivery man came to Bata today and guess what he asked me?
Him: "Are you from China?"
Me: "No"
Him: "Hong Kong?"
Me: "Nope"
Him: "Haha have anyone ask you these questions before?"
Me: "Haha no lah"
Do i really look like a Chinaman? That's an insult to me...coz i don't like Chinamen wahahaha. Don't like the way they speak, look, behave etc etc. HEHE.
Looking at the dark sky now..i think it's inevitable that it'll rain again this evening...wassup man...give me a break..

WED
I went jogging again last night, can’t believe it, my timing was 12mins again. I think Gold for Napfa is quite impossible now. Running 6 rounds is a short torture for me. I get all breathless and tired whenever running, and I will wish it’d be over soon.
My colleague just told me that Mr Bata would be coming to Singapore again for some major meeting. I don’t really care. Anyway I will be buying a pair of shoes from Bata before leaving, saw one pair I liked that day, shall buy it soon.
I went to eat Bhar chor mee at Amk’s S11 last night myself. Wanted to drink bubble tea too but they didn’t have pearls so I didn’t buy. I went home after that and watched infernal affairs 1…nice show…catch it if you haven.
Bored at work now as usual…

Tuesday
Although the reason of us going to orchard last night was to take a peep at the subaru impreza challenge, but an unexpected calamity befallen and they didn’t catch it. After rain cross sky calm…we left orchard at around 12+am...me and Sam went on and stopped by the road along orchard to take a quick look at the subaru impreza challenge. When we were there, 5 ppl were left and i think 2 were girls. Amazing women....very strong mentally and physically. They look quite pitiful compared to Jamie Yeo and Mark Richmond who were sitting comfortably on couches nearby. Although it was 12.30am, it was pretty packed there...mostly kaypos and probably friends and relatives of the contestants were there. It didn't feel like 12.30am on a Tuesday morning...a lot of skaters were still skating at the youth park...Singapore is just full of fortunate people...unlike me..i have to suffer in the office.
Actually i'm feeling good being in the office now...i just came back from Bata's warehouse in Tanjong Pagar Distripark. It was hot, stuffy, dirty, dusty etc etc..i spent my morning there and it was terrible...i sweat a lot..collected lots of dust and is aching all over carrying the old POS machines. Luckily the staffs there were friendly and helpful..a few uncles helped me and made my job easier.
I was there to clean off classified information from Bata’s old POS system. The machines were stacked up on pellets it’s quite heavy..i’m glad that I need not carry all 39 boxes of them…thank you uncles haha.
Oh ya there were 2 other TP students attached to Bata and they are working in the warehouse. I feel so fortunate..their job seems laborious, they were carrying boxes here and there. The only fun thing about working in the warehouse for me is the opportunity to drive the forklift I guess…but I doubt they will let me. I’m glad I’m back at my cosy air-conditioned office. I wish I had a bed…no bed also can…a mattress or sofa will do just fine…heeeeeeeeeee

8 more weeks left!
Yesterday was Henry's birthday. We went to Fish & co at Tampines Mall to eat. The staffs there even sang him their own birthday song....freaking funny...I think it was kinda embarrassing both for us and them, but we were giggling all the way.
I need to go down to the warehouse today...and i'm dressed in formal clothing..i forgot that they told me to dress down. Don't care lah...
Guess what...i lost my shoe cover. The cover i went rounds and rounds just to find if you remembered. Darn...i just can't remember where i left it...or was it stolen? Sigh......I'm so sleepy now....slept late last night...i want to sleep........

GIVE ME YOUR ATTENTION!
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen…can I do a short poll on myself? Am I an easier person to talk to online than face to face? Please leave your answer in my comment box below…just YES or NO will do…additional comments are welcomed though!
Friendster
Friendster suck big time. It's lagging like SHIT. It's getting from bad to worse. I hate going to the site now...although the idea of it is good and i did find some long lost friends, they don't have a good enough server to support this freaking big database. Or is it friendster's tactic of getting us to pay for subscription?
In conclusion, friendster sucks till they do something about their network. I’ve tried www.myspace.com and it’s equally as laggy. So what’s the point………

What a freaking freaking freaking long day!! (NC-16)
My gosh you will never believe what a sunday i had...it all started in the afternoon actually. In the morning i went with my family to visit my father's grave..it was All-souls day and we went to clean his grave. It has been a long time since i went there..really feeling unfilial. Anyway the catholic cemetery was freaking pack and it was really difficult to drive there..my sister's bf drove us there. We dropped by Clementi for a bite and then headed home. I took a short nap before Bernerd came to fetch me..he wanted to show me this marketing company that i can earn some extra money.
The company was located in Eunos and i was pretty skeptical of it all the way. He refused to tell me what the company was, what they sell and what i'm supposed to do. We reached at around 3pm and sat at the coffeeshop beside the building while waiting for his friend to come. Parking in between the building and the coffeeshop were lots of BMWs, SLK, CLK etc etc supposingly all owned by employees of the company. People as young as 19-21 owned cars of their own and supposingly paid for it themselves. In my mind i was thinking: "What the hell? Is this for real?" I felt that this was a con company and i believe i'm right.
Ok here's how the "marketing plan" works. There a 7 levels of distributions rights.
1. Ordinary Distributor
2. Trainee Distributor
3. Direct Distributor
4. C??? Distributor (Shit i forgot what is stands for)
5. Executive Distributor
6. District Manager
7. Senior District Manager
Each level had their own deserved percentage of commission and there's a link between some. For example, if Bernerd brings me in and i make a sale, Bernerd is entitled a small percentage of commission based on my sale. And if you have a really good record of sales, you are also entitled to a car incentive program where the company will let you choose a car model of your choice..pay the downpayment and give you a fixed sum of car funds to pay for installments, parking, petrol etc.
Everyone i spoke to today boasted about cars that they can own within 1 year...i wasn't impressed. Anyway at around 4pm, this senior distribution manager gave us a talk. He was a good speaker and had a pinch of humour in him. He explained clearly what the company does and how they multi-marketing shit works. I started to have a slightly positive thinking towards this shit...but not for long!
After the talk we waited while this other guy came to explain to me about the company's product. It was a magnetic quilt and supposingly can prevent cancer, high blood pressure, heart diseases, strokes etc etc. They even had ISO, doctor's certifications and customers' testimonial to prove it. The only turn off point is actually the price. One quilt for a single bed costed a $1500, a queen size $2300 while a King size costs $2700. What the shit right? From what i observed, they quilts are poorly made and was actually nothing special. Threads were coming out and the material was nothing extraordinary. It looks more like a product from China..but when i enquired..i was told it's made in USA (YA RIGHT I wasn't born yesterday).
However, i was seriously thinking of getting one for my mum....very seriously thinking. I wanted a week to consider...but they wouldn't allow it! They persuaded me for 3 whole damn hours that i it will be better that i got it tonight! Fuck! From becoming a potential salesman of theirs i became their potential customer! Fuck off! I told them i needed to consider but guessed how they responded.
SUMMARY
Them: "What are you still thinking about? What's in your mind now? Why are you still considering?"
Me: "I need to discuss this with my mum..morever i don't have that much money."
Them: "Frankly are you seriously thinking about getting it for your mum? Aren't you big enough to make your own decision? How much can you come out first? Don't tell your mum...she will surely discourage you from spending so much money."
Me: "Yes i'm seriously thinking of getting but i need 1 week to let me consider and probably raise more cash."
Them: "What are you still thinking about? Do you know that a lot of things can happen in 1 week? Touch wood something might just happen to your mum within this 1 week and you don't want to live to regret not getting it for her today right? Morever you can earn a lot of money within this 1 week!"
Me (in my heart): Fuck off don't curse my mum. And fuck off again...like real 1 week is a lot of time. You guys are just desperate for business.
Anyway they went on and on about how important this 1 week was until i got damn pek chek! I couldn't get rid of them! I wanted so much to just walk off but decided not to for fear of making bernerd embarrassed. By the time they finished it was already over 9.30pm...was there for more than 6 hours! What a waste of my time! Now they really ruined my sunday..from seriously thinking of buying...it became "don't crap anymore..i won't believe a word you say anymore". A customer will eventually come back and buy if the product is really that good...morever why must you fucking force me to buy tonight?! Not even 1 week of consideration?! Get outta here!
Sorry bernerd but i don't think i'm going back there again. The product is just too suspicious to even consider it. And i guess it's too late for me to dissuade you as you've already bought one from them. But since your parents like it i guess it's money well spent. Just be careful now, don't easily be persuaded to buy anything again...they are just blood suckers that is successful because they get business from people like us!
I don't believe something so wonderful in this world exist, such shortcuts to riches rarely last. If this is the way i'm going to get my car, i rather stick to my bike. Morever i don't think i can ever get along with the people there. They were mostly either foreigners from China, Malaysia etc or local ex-bengs...hate them.
What a freaking Sunday, i rather work in BATA! Oh ya and did i mention? Today is the first day that i didn't ride since i got my bike. Miss riding it...see you tomorrow morning darling...HEHEHEHEHE
The company was located in Eunos and i was pretty skeptical of it all the way. He refused to tell me what the company was, what they sell and what i'm supposed to do. We reached at around 3pm and sat at the coffeeshop beside the building while waiting for his friend to come. Parking in between the building and the coffeeshop were lots of BMWs, SLK, CLK etc etc supposingly all owned by employees of the company. People as young as 19-21 owned cars of their own and supposingly paid for it themselves. In my mind i was thinking: "What the hell? Is this for real?" I felt that this was a con company and i believe i'm right.
Ok here's how the "marketing plan" works. There a 7 levels of distributions rights.
1. Ordinary Distributor
2. Trainee Distributor
3. Direct Distributor
4. C??? Distributor (Shit i forgot what is stands for)
5. Executive Distributor
6. District Manager
7. Senior District Manager
Each level had their own deserved percentage of commission and there's a link between some. For example, if Bernerd brings me in and i make a sale, Bernerd is entitled a small percentage of commission based on my sale. And if you have a really good record of sales, you are also entitled to a car incentive program where the company will let you choose a car model of your choice..pay the downpayment and give you a fixed sum of car funds to pay for installments, parking, petrol etc.
Everyone i spoke to today boasted about cars that they can own within 1 year...i wasn't impressed. Anyway at around 4pm, this senior distribution manager gave us a talk. He was a good speaker and had a pinch of humour in him. He explained clearly what the company does and how they multi-marketing shit works. I started to have a slightly positive thinking towards this shit...but not for long!
After the talk we waited while this other guy came to explain to me about the company's product. It was a magnetic quilt and supposingly can prevent cancer, high blood pressure, heart diseases, strokes etc etc. They even had ISO, doctor's certifications and customers' testimonial to prove it. The only turn off point is actually the price. One quilt for a single bed costed a $1500, a queen size $2300 while a King size costs $2700. What the shit right? From what i observed, they quilts are poorly made and was actually nothing special. Threads were coming out and the material was nothing extraordinary. It looks more like a product from China..but when i enquired..i was told it's made in USA (YA RIGHT I wasn't born yesterday).
However, i was seriously thinking of getting one for my mum....very seriously thinking. I wanted a week to consider...but they wouldn't allow it! They persuaded me for 3 whole damn hours that i it will be better that i got it tonight! Fuck! From becoming a potential salesman of theirs i became their potential customer! Fuck off! I told them i needed to consider but guessed how they responded.

What a saturday?
Sam stayed over at my house because her parents went for a cruise. So i had to wake up early to send her to work. After dropping her at her workplace..i went to Yio Chu Kang Stadium for my morning jog and excercise...improved by 50secs today...my 2.4 run was 12mins...dammit...i'm still considered damn unfit. Will strive harder! After excercise i went to Macdonalds to eat breakfast alone and read papers...felt quite good...it has been a long time since i've done that. I know you people are going to call me ah pek or what...but what the hell...it's quite enjoyable..peaceful and quiet moment all to myself.
After resting awhile at home..i went to fetch sam from work. We went to Chinatown to book our tour and pay the deposit. 1 of the places i hate to go in Singapore is Chinatown..i don't know why..but i just don't like going there. Anyway our tour will be on the 29th Dec and it will be 5days 4 nights...we extended 1 night for merely $20..not too bad a deal right? If you guys ever want to go on a holiday please check out B1 of People's Park Complex...there are loads and loads of travel agencies...all side by side...you will have a hard time differentiating them.
My colleague's wedding dinner is tonight and i was late hehe. Reached there at 8pm when i was supposed to be there by 7.30pm. But as usual the dinner didn't start at 7.30pm sharp and it wasn't significant that i was late. I was put onto a table of all females. They are a talkative, humourous and horny bunch! If you've seen what they did today you will laugh the crap out of your butt. They took 2 black mushrooms and one sea cucumber and placed them together in the shape of a penis...that's not all...they added some hair-like crackers to complete it...last but not least they dipped a little bit of honey dew milk onto the tip so that it looks like semen! WAHAHA now that's madness..but it's not all. Then they took 2 prawns (breast)..placed nuts on it (nipples)..a piece of mushroom (cunt)...and of coz not forgetting the "pubic hair" and honey dew milk! Anyway this bunch of mad women did it for a reason...they wanted to tease the newly wed couples. The guy had to eat the female organs on the plate. After that it was the bride's turn to eat. The groom sporting put the "penis" in front of his pants and stand on chair while the bride was supposed to eat it. That part was a big hype and everyone was laughing like mad. Then the bride's mum appeared and scolded the bride for doing that...after that everyone kept quiet and walked away haha. Throughout the dinner i was also not spared...they will tease me here and there..talking dirty and all. Then they will go: "control ah....don't go to the toilet ah..or else we know...HAHA"...then this woman sitting beside me will then check if mine's standing....hahaha I guess all woman will reach such a stage when they get really open about such things yeah. I was fine with everything..easy..laughing along the way..i even joined them for a drink after the dinner at some pub behind Papa Joe near centrepoint. Out of the 7 woman i joined, 3 of them drove...i was pretty amazed...they're only in their early 20s i guess. Anyway i was pretty bored while drinking with them...all they rattled was office politics...nothing i knew about since i'm always in my small little room of mine. I was so relieved when they finally decided to leave after 2 hours...i just got home and i'm sleepy. Oh ya did i mention that i forgot to give the Ang Bao to the newly wed? Can't blame me...it's the first wedding i've attended without my family around and i don't really know what to do. Do i give them the Ang Bao before or after the dinner?
Going to Borneo Motors tomorrow to ask questions on our FYP projects. Need to wake up early again...shall go take a rest now..good night

End of one week!
I've been distracted by bikes for awhile now...until this car got me back into cars....wow..it'll be my 1st car...I'll work hard!
Went to eat dinner with sam just now at the Boon Tong Kee Chicken Rice near her place...before that she went for some interview at Tanjong Pagar. While waiting for her it began to drizzle...and the CTE tunnel was like a suana! Freaking hot air all over! And what makes it worse? There was a huge jam! The cars were practically not moving! But luckily i'm riding and i squeezed through all! It was a bit scary...but quite ok.
Sam's at my place now...yakking on the phone..typical girls...and me...being a typical guy is sitting in front of my computer surfing chatting etc. What's new? Going to book our place for our Bangkok trip tomorrow...i guess that's the only thing i can look forward to now....this coming 8 weeks can be short..it can also be long..just want to get it over and done with. It's my colleague's wedding tomorrow and surprisingly she invited me too...i've no choice but to go...don't want to appear "dao"...haii got to prepare a $50 hongbao...it'll be an expensive dinner hehe.

Friday
Finally it’s Friday..still got 8 more Fridays to go before I say “bye bye” to Bata…”thank you for taking me as your intern..sorry for not contributing to your profits…hope to work with you again next time.” Haha
Went to meet Sam and Mw after work yesterday…bought this Belgian milk chocolate coated American nuts from Marks & Spencer…it’s quite nice..you guys can try it..i’m snacking on it while typing now..hehe
Anyway I know that Henry don’t read this blog…so we can openly discuss…what you people suggest we get for him on his birthday this coming Monday? Who is willing to share? Those that shared for Sham’s birthday present can step forward…Hehe…please leave your message in my chatterbox!
After Chris came, me and Sam left…wanted to go eat Punggol Nasi Lemak but Sam tricked me…she told me we could go to Chinatown to eat and also check on the travel agency…in the end we only had our dinner…Anyway while at the carpark yesterday I sat on someone’s Honda CBR…some kind of sportsbike...the riding position is really weird...uncomfortable and low. Those riding might get a hunchback over time, and their crotch area will definitely be injured when doing E-brake!
This morning while at the carpark of my workplace…I also sat on someone else’s BMW big MAMA bike…it is incredibly comfortable…the seat is a bit high but still managable..but I believe it’s quite hard maneuvering it in low speed (I’m sure it’s darn heavy) . HAHA beware of me next time if you own a bike...if it’s nice and something I’ve never tried before I might just sit on it without your permission!
Enquired my motortiam on how much I will have to come out if I were to change my Phantom to a X9 Evo…he told me at least $2300! GOSH! Looks like I can only dream about it for now. Now I’m thinking on how I’m going to spend the rest of my hours here…someone please entertain me…

Wednesday
Went jogging again after work yesterday....an improvement over the last time...jogged all the way without walking this time...but still got 12min 50secs! Dammit man what's wrong..i thought i ran quite fast already...anyway for those that don't know..i will need to run below 10mins to get A..Will be going down again today...hopefully there will be a 2mins improvement everytime hehe.
After jogging i went home for dinner. Then at around 9+ i went to sam's house to fetch her to go for a spin. We went to Mount Faber..it was pretty happening there...with pubs, bars and restaurants. The sight was good but i think it will be better if we went during the day. On our way up the hill there was this big house along the road...if i didn't remember wrongly, my uncles told me that it was haunted..and many years ago while i was still very young (more than 10 years ago) we went in b4...don't really have a vivid impression of whats inside but i definately remember that outing...
After that we went to Kallang's KFC to grab a bite..i just had dinner and ate more...going to be a fat pig haha. By the time i fetched her home and reached home...it was already 12.15am. What a night..at least it was fulfilling..better than sitting at home and watching tv..surfing net (something i do at office everyday) and sleeping...hehe
