Friday
Went home after work last Friday. Nothing much to talk about.
Saturday
Woke up at 9.30am because I was supposed to meet a phone buyer at 10am at Yio Chu Kang Stadium. As I was meeting my buyer, I met Derrick, my former secondary classmate. He was on his way to the gym and since I had planned to go jogging after selling my phone, I decided I should join him in the gym. I paid $2.50 for entry and $1 for a towel that was necessary. I headed for the thread mill first. It’s the first time I’m using one of these, I’m suarku I know. I had planned to jog 2.4km but after 2.1km I couldn’t take it anymore. I was panting like mad, and as I stepped off the thread mill I started to get dizzy. Derrick told me the air in the gym is thin so he accompanied me out of the gym to the balcony to catch my breath. After awhile we went back in and I tried some weights, my arms started to ache after awhile haha. So I decided I didn’t want to stay anymore so we left together and headed to KFC in Ang Mo Kio for lunch. After lunch we both headed home.
I slept throughout half the rest of the afternoon and went to meet Sam after her work. We first headed for Orchard because I was supposed to meet another buyer of my phone. We walked around and couldn’t compromise on what to eat for dinner. I wanted to eat Yakitori lunchbox but she wanted crystal jade. But finally we ended up eating Yakitori lunchbox haha.
After selling my phone and eating dinner, we went to Toa Payoh to watch brother bear. It's a touching, funny, inspiring cartoon…after all it's a Disney cartoon. After the movie I sent Sam home, and while at her carpark, she realized that her dad’s van wasn’t parked there so she called them. She found out that they were at a cousin's house warming in Jalan Kayu, so I sent her there.
Guess what the highlight of my night, I saw a shooting star! For the first time in my life! I was lying on my bike while Sam was making the call behind me. I was staring at the sky when suddenly this bright light appeared. At first I thought that it was an airplane, but all of a sudden, the light flew across the sky in a flash, it's a shooting star! The whole event lasted less than a sec, I quickly told Sam about it since she was only behind me in the pillion seat but she told me she didn't see it. I quickly made a wish, a wish I won’t reveal or it might not come true!
Sometimes I cannot but have to believe in fate. For example this night, if Sam didn't realize that her family wasn't at home, then I wouldn't be lying there on my bike staring at the sky and I wouldn't have seen the shooting star. This is not the only occurrence that makes me believe that sometimes its fate that decides everything in life. How about the guy that was riding his motorbike on the road when at that point and at that time when he was passing, a tree fell on him and his bike? What if he had dilly dally for just 1 minute at his carpark before moving off? Then he would have missed the tree by one minute! Anyone here believes in fate too?
Sunday
Went for mass as usual in the morning with Puss and ate lunch with him. After that we went on to find a pirate in the area because he needed games for his new computer. The old stores that were around closed down, but we still managed to find and so he bought his games. After lunch I went to meet Sam. We went to watch another movie, Duplex. Its a stupid show with a dumb storyline, the whole show made little sense and I didn’t really enjoy it at all. If you guys haven caught it yet, please don’t bother. But I did catch Scary Movie 3’s trailer before the movie and it’s a must catch! It sure looked darn funny, who cares if it’s RA? Must watch!
Anyway did you guys watch David Blaine Vertigo? He is such an amazing magician. He made my jaw drop and my eyes wide open. There was one trick where he took a picnic goer's empty beer can, rub it once and it became a brand new sealed can filled with real beer. There was even the pop sound of a sealed can opening when he opened it. The picnic goer then tasted the “new” can of beer with a bewildered face, laughing and amazed at the same time. In another trick, he somehow made this passerby's watch appear in a shop's display behind a glass window without her knowing. After that he took a newspaper, put it against the glass window; extend his hands through the newspaper and glass window and took out the watch. Wow.

Friday!!
Went to play snooker after work yesterday, ended work at 5.30pm and was supposed to meet them at 6pm, but i expected them to be late so i stayed at my carpark to meddle with the handlebar hehe.
This week at Bata, 2 IT managers from India is here to learn more about our POS system. I love it when they are here because lunch is always free when these guests are around. And we will eat pretty nice food too. But my 2 colleagues always choose Sakura or Magic Wok, boring. The food is nice however and morever it's free so i shouldn't complain. One bad thing when these monkey craps are here is that they will be in the same room as me and i can't surf net and chit chat freely without having to hide. Here in my blog i call them monkey craps, but in my logbook i have to go "These IT managers are nice people and i love to have them around. I get to learn a lot of things from them and getting to know about their country and culture from them is simply amazing".
Will spend my day reformatting another of my colleague's computer. Shall get back to work.

My 1st RA film hehe
Was late again today damn, woke up at 7.50am. Decided to use CTE because I didn’t want to be too late, so I spent $2.50 on ERP and arrived reach the office at 8.20am, luckily not too late.
Slept at 12.30am last night, went to catch Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Puss at Lido. And yes..it’s an RA film, my first ever! Nobody bothers to check hehe. I must say there were indeed a few heart-pounding scenes in the movie but it was overall only an “okay” movie, unrealistic at some point.
The chainsaw psycho could have finished off the lead actress at some point but it’s always so heng that he trips or the engine of the chainsaw dies. It could have also ended early if she had been smart enough to pick up the chainsaw when the psycho dropped it and he was distracted by her friend, instead she just pounced on him beating him with her bare hands or run around screaming, not like that helps. Killing was gruesome and sometimes you feel for the victim, you will freak out imagining his/her pain This chainsaw psycho is not the only psycho in the whole town, the whole family is involved. Papa acted as a sheriff pretending to help the 5 friends in need because this hitchhiker had shot herself in their van (The aftermath of the shot was gross, can see her brain etc all blown up). A small boy, also part of the family initially led them to the “killing house” but in the end helped the lead actress escape. The sister, mummy etc etc are all also psychos but didn’t do anything much. Don’t think I should tell you guys the ending, in case some of you decide to watch it.
Before the movie, went to walk around orchard with puss intending to get a new water bottle. There are indeed some very nice designs out there but the price isn’t too appealing, so I’m still scouting around for one. Puss then went to Kinokuniya to buy books. While there, I saw my colleague, she just knocked off and was there to buy books to prepare for a presentation tomorrow….poor thing.
Last night, the handling of my bike feels weird, like the handle bar is not straight or not stable. Not sure if I should bring it to the shop again..sigh. But I don’t really trust my bike shop nowadays, I feel they I’m a carrot head to them and they just love to chop me. I shall not go back to them anymore hehe.
Must think of ways to pass my day now.

Wednesday
Was watching the SARS show on channel 8 9pm yesterday, they re-enact the SARS period what those health workers, victims and normal people do. They kind of exaggerated though, throughout the whole crisis period, I had never put on a mask at all before. Although there was temperature taking all around and my aunt cooked this “anti-SARS” soup for me once, it was just like any other day to me hehe. Maybe I’m lucky maybe I’m bo chup, glad the epidemic is controlled.
After that i caught never been kissed yesterday but feel asleep watching it halfway. Its a nice show that i have watched before a few years ago.
Did nothing much yesterday, spent the whole day in the office formatting my colleague's computer. A lot of shit to do after formatting, install softwares, drivers, network etc etc.
That day when i went to Plaza Singapura with Sam, this girl from the bike forum saw me and her and asked if it was me, to think i never even see her before and she had never seen me before except for my pictures on the blog! Haha Singapore is indeed small. Anyway she's an aspiring Vespa rider that seeked my advice the other time haha.
My colleague told me yesterday that if i work longer in Bata i'll take over Mr Phua (My IT manager) wahahaha, what nonsense. Have a new section to add to my POS user guide this week, going to have work to do woohoo!

1st Dec 2003? Damn i really ran out of titles for my posts
I forgot to mention something that I did last Saturday, I want to jot it down so I can read back what I did this day years down the road, this is my public diary hehe.
After I lost my hp, me and weijian went to Changi Airport. We wanted to go there see aeroplanes and walk around (it can be quite fun you know). The journey there was pretty long, my hands ache pulling the throttle for so long. I parked at T2’s carpark and it’s amazing that there were still so many bikes at the carpark at that time (2-3am?). T2 was quite dead, no movement of aeroplanes and not many people. So we decided to walk the long stretch of road to T1, we took turn to push each other on a trolley that was left idling there. T1 had more activities going on at that time as most international flights are based there. After seeing enough aeroplanes and having enough fun, we wanted to take the Skytrain back to T2 but service has stopped (1.40am for those that don’t know), we then walked back that same stretch of long road and headed home.
Yesterday
I bought a new phone, it’s the same motorola v60I that I had used before. Got it for $180, considered cheap liao since it’s brand new (She won it from some lucky draw). The plastic protector is still around the phone, I don’t want to take them off yet, might consider selling it soon hehe. I like my old phone a lot, I miss the torchlight, the loud alarm, the durable surface, the easy messaging, the fm radio and the flip I used to play with underneath. Sigh……
Met Sam after work yesterday after meeting the seller of the v60I. We then went to PS to get my new sim card, this time transaction was smooth. It’s the first time I had parked in PS and I must say it’s quite convenient, the carpark leads straight to the mall. After that we went to far east plaza because Sam wanted to collect her ic photos. But to her horror, the place was closed. We decided that we should have dinner upstairs, I had claypot hokkien mee while she had claypot yi mee. Both our food kinda suck, we didn’t enjoy it because it was too hot and it wasn’t too nice.
Movie was supposed to be next on our itinerary but decided against it because there wasn’t a nice show to watch and we were both tired. Anyway I had wanted to watch brother bear while she had wanted to watch Duplex. As usual our frequency wasn’t the same and the result is quite obvious.
I sent her back, went to meet Dom to return his ic and went home after that. I miss not having my radio with me when I’m in the office, I miss not having my water bottle too (oh I lost it too), now I’m taking mineral water from the office’s fridge everyday but supply is running out soon. Meiwen, weilun can get another one? Hehe

Add on
Did you read the BK’s ad on today’s TODAY? “Free mini CD & handphone with any upsized BK value meal”. How ironic.
Oh ya I forgot to mention something about yesterday. As I parked my bike along the pavement behind PS and went to meet puss, I left my keys on the bike! I only realised after me and puss went back to the bike wanting to go to expo! Damn why am I so forgetful nowadays?!

What a freaky weekend!!
Friday night
Shengxian, Valencia, Laijin, Shawn and Sam came to my house for FYP discussion. Most of them were late and we managed to start at only around 9. We ordered KFC for dinner and after discussion and dinner, we all left. They were on their way home and I was on my way to meet Bernerd to play snooker. This is the first time I played since more than a month ago and I haven’t lost my touch yet hehe. Went for supper at Punngol Nasi Lemak Coffeeshop again and didn’t reach home till around 4am. What a long night.
Saturday
Woke at in the afternoon at around 3pm. Waited at home for Sam coz she was supposed to accompany me to my cousin’s 21st birthday. But she was out with mingli and xiaowen. I waited till 6+ and was so bored I decided to go to Lim Ah Boy to buy some apparels. I bought a bike cover and a pair of gloves hehe. The bike cover is so huge I wonder where I’m going to stuff it when it gets wet.
Ok so I met up with Sam at around 8+ and reached my cousin’s party at East Coast Costa Sands at around 9. All the bikes at the carpark there were beautiful I must say. Wonder why all of them were there. Had dinner there but didn’t eat much even though I didn’t had anything to eat since I woke up at 3pm coz the food weren’t really my cup of tea. We played mahjong awhile with my cousins and left there at around 10.30pm. I sent Sam home and went on to meet Weijian to play lan and have supper hehe.
Ok here’s the climax of the weekend that really spoilt it. While having Burger King at beach road, I took out my handphone to reply pussy’s msg. Since I was eating my burger, I put it down on the table after replying my msg. Chatting chatting chatting we finished our meal. We stood up and went to play lan for around one hour. After finishing lan I realised I didn’t have my handphone with me!! Used weijian’s phone to call but it was all too late, someone has off the phone. Dammit, one of the worst thing that can happen to anyone just happened to me. It can really be a hassle losing one’s handphone and my heart aches knowing I have to spend again! We thought and thought and finally concluded that I had left my phone at BK. Went back to ask and the manager was blasting some techno, this BK outlet has become Canto. Anyway she acted blur when I asked, walked around the outlet awhile and said she didn’t find it. Before that she was flirting with these 3 Indian cleaners, how weird, she’s chinese. Ok anyway I’m quite convinced one of the staffs took it since we were the last customers leaving the outlet that night. Reached home at around 3+ I guess and called Starhub to suspend my line. F*cking BK, I’m going to boycott it for awhile.
Sunday
Met up with pussy at Plaza Singapura. He wanted to give me his old V60 but the antenna was spoilt so we were there at Motorola Service Center. We were quoted $86.60 to change the thing. I don’t think it’s worth since the phone is already quite old.
After that, I decided that I wanted to go Starhub to replace my lost sim card. I rode my bike wanting to go to Cuppage Plaza. So I parked at this open area carpark opposite Centrepoint. The carpark was slightly jam and this proved to be a blessing in disguise. I realised that all the bike lots were occupied and decided that I should park at the double yellow line. But as I was packing up to leave, HDB umbrella woman appeared behind me! Woah! What a time to appear! I quickly got back on my bike pretending I was waiting for someone to leave. And that very moment, an angel appeared. I didn’t have any parking coupon with me and I wanted to buy one from him. He had one and gave it to me FOC. What a nice guy. So I took his lot and put my coupon. Safe at last.
No this is not the last. When we walked to Cuppage, we were told by the security guard that Starhub has shifted to Plaza Singapura! WTF?! We just came from there! So fine nvm, thinking that I escaped an expensive summon, I happily decided to walk back to PS. While walking, me and pussy’s imagination ran wild. We thought of all the possibilities of what might have happened if we knew Starhub was at PS, umbrella woman didn’t appear at that moment, the biker didn’t want to leave at that time, and there wasn’t a slight jam at the carpark. Is this kharma or is this fate?
So we reached PS’s Starhub service centre. My line is under my mum’s name and I was told that I need to write an authorisation letter to get my sim card. So I asked the counter for a blank piece of paper and wrote our authorisation letter there. I forged my mum’s signature and tadah, an authorisation letter. But at the counter, this stupid himbo told me the letter wasn’t formal enough and I needed my mum’s ic to collect the sim card on her behalf. Shit them, whats wrong with them, if I can come out with my house’s address, phone number, mum’s ic number etc accurately of course I know my mum right. Now I can’t get back my number today. Argh…come to think of it, I will lose all my contacts. So people if you don't mind you can leave your handphone number here in the comments so I can store them?
At around 3 – 4, me and puss went to Sitex 2003 at Expo, pussy wanted to get a new computer. We reached there at around 4.30pm, the carpark was super jam, you could see the queue on the main road waiting to enter the carpark. But afterall I’m a bike, I’m minimally affected. There were lots of bikes there (many nice ones too), but I didn’t had much trouble finding a place to park. I sat on a Honda Goldwing parked there because I wanted to see how it feels, it was super duper huge and damn comfortable of course. The bike has a mainstand which was amazing considering the weight, I wonder how the rider puts it up on its mainstand or get it down.
Ok so we entered the exhibition, it was packed but quite ok. There were sexy babes at some booths wearing skimpy clothings and showing lots of skin and cleavage….woah. New strategy of IT companies to attract customers, don’t really appeal to me though. At least I won’t buy something just because they show me some cleavage. What’s the big deal about cleavages anyway, there are more than 1 billion of them everywhere in the world hahaha. I really wonder why men are fasinated by them, ok I’m a man too, I’m fasinated too but I don’t know why wahahaha.
Okok how come I’m always going off topic. Puss walked around and decided on this model that was value for money. Called his friends, mother, sister and discussed with them. They decided it was ok and the sister decided that she wanted to come down to pay for the computer using her credit card so that she could accumulate points. They reached at around 6.30pm. We were both famished by then but looking at the queue to buy BK (BK?!), we decided against buying. So they entered the exhibition hall and went straight to the booth with the computer pussy wanted, they bargained and bargained wanting to get a free speaker. The store refused and they debated and debated, both side wouldn’t budge so we walked off. They went to other booths but couldn’t find a better offer. By this time, the queue at BK has shorten and we decided we should sit down and eat something. (Ok I have no choice, there’s only BK and orange julius at Expo, of course eat BK lah!)
After eating we went back to the same booth. They decided they wanted to buy that model but wanted to bargain somemore since it’s the last day and the exhibition will be closing soon. They continued doing it for another half an hour I guess but they still wouldn’t budge. So pussy and family finally gave it, in the end they got nothing free except for 3 mousepads….wahahaha. It was already 9.15pm by then, although the exhibition has closed, it wasn’t over for us. There was a lucky draw going on and the queue was freaking long! Anyway puss decided he didn’t want to give up his lucky draw so he queued. Took about half an hour in all I guess. We left at around 9.45 and I reached home at around 10.30. What a long night again. Watched abit of Chelsea vs Manu and fell asleep with the score 1-0 to Chelsea. (I still don’t know the final score while typing this.)
I woke up at 7.45am this morning and I’m supposed to start work at 8am! Oh no! This will be the first time I’ll be late for work. I arrived at 8.30am, luckily didn’t get a scolding or what. My colleagues were just worried since I had never been late before and they couldn’t get me on my handphone. I paid $1.50 for my ERP today instead of the usual $0.25. The punishment for waking up late…………………bad bad weekend + Monday morning…sob.
Shengxian, Valencia, Laijin, Shawn and Sam came to my house for FYP discussion. Most of them were late and we managed to start at only around 9. We ordered KFC for dinner and after discussion and dinner, we all left. They were on their way home and I was on my way to meet Bernerd to play snooker.

So I asked the counter for a blank piece of paper and wrote our authorisation letter there. I forged my mum’s signature and tadah, an authorisation letter. But at the counter, this stupid himbo told me the letter wasn’t formal enough and I needed my mum’s ic to collect the sim card on her behalf. Shit them, whats wrong with them, if I can come out with my house’s address, phone number, mum’s ic number etc accurately of course I know my mum right. Now I can’t get back my number today. Argh…come to think of it, I will lose all my contacts. So people if you don't mind you can leave your handphone number here in the comments so I can store them?
At around 3 – 4, me and puss went to Sitex 2003 at Expo, pussy wanted to get a new computer. We reached there at around 4.30pm, the carpark was super jam, you could see the queue on the main road waiting to enter the carpark. But afterall I’m a bike, I’m minimally affected. There were lots of bikes there (many nice ones too), but I didn’t had much trouble finding a place to park. I sat on a Honda Goldwing parked there because I wanted to see how it feels, it was super duper huge and damn comfortable of course. The bike has a mainstand which was amazing considering the weight, I wonder how the rider puts it up on its mainstand or get it down.
Ok so we entered the exhibition, it was packed but quite ok. There were sexy babes at some booths wearing skimpy clothings and showing lots of skin and cleavage….woah. New strategy of IT companies to attract customers, don’t really appeal to me though. At least I won’t buy something just because they show me some cleavage. What’s the big deal about cleavages anyway, there are more than 1 billion of them everywhere in the world hahaha. I really wonder why men are fasinated by them, ok I’m a man too, I’m fasinated too but I don’t know why wahahaha.
Okok how come I’m always going off topic. Puss walked around and decided on this model that was value for money. Called his friends, mother, sister and discussed with them. They decided it was ok and the sister decided that she wanted to come down to pay for the computer using her credit card so that she could accumulate points. They reached at around 6.30pm. We were both famished by then but looking at the queue to buy BK (BK?!), we decided against buying. So they entered the exhibition hall and went straight to the booth with the computer pussy wanted, they bargained and bargained wanting to get a free speaker. The store refused and they debated and debated, both side wouldn’t budge so we walked off. They went to other booths but couldn’t find a better offer. By this time, the queue at BK has shorten and we decided we should sit down and eat something. (Ok I have no choice, there’s only BK and orange julius at Expo, of course eat BK lah!)
After eating we went back to the same booth. They decided they wanted to buy that model but wanted to bargain somemore since it’s the last day and the exhibition will be closing soon. They continued doing it for another half an hour I guess but they still wouldn’t budge. So pussy and family finally gave it, in the end they got nothing free except for 3 mousepads….wahahaha. It was already 9.15pm by then, although the exhibition has closed, it wasn’t over for us. There was a lucky draw going on and the queue was freaking long! Anyway puss decided he didn’t want to give up his lucky draw so he queued. Took about half an hour in all I guess. We left at around 9.45 and I reached home at around 10.30. What a long night again. Watched abit of Chelsea vs Manu and fell asleep with the score 1-0 to Chelsea. (I still don’t know the final score while typing this.)
I woke up at 7.45am this morning and I’m supposed to start work at 8am! Oh no! This will be the first time I’ll be late for work. I arrived at 8.30am, luckily didn’t get a scolding or what. My colleagues were just worried since I had never been late before and they couldn’t get me on my handphone. I paid $1.50 for my ERP today instead of the usual $0.25. The punishment for waking up late…………………bad bad weekend + Monday morning…sob.

Friday
Do you people know that BMW is the acronyms for bayerische motoren werke AG? Gee I didn’t know that, I didn’t even thought of what it might stand for, it’s so chim I doubt anyone of you will remember though.
Like I blogged, I went to Sembawang Shopping centre yesterday to help set up the computer because it’s a new store opening. When I arrived, it was already 5pm, but then those doing the computer counter didn’t do it correctly and the monitor didn’t fit in. They cut, they drill, they saw etc etc for for around 1.5 hours and I couldn’t set up the computer till around 6.30pm. The wires were short and the sockets were so inside I had a hard time stretching to connect. I got myself into a dirty state and the damn computer couldn’t connect to the Internet. I called my colleague in the office and surprisingly and fortunately she was still in the office. At the end of day it still can’t work and I’m went down with her again later today to do it since they have to open the new store today. By the time I finished it was already 7.15pm. I was supposed to collect my bike but it was already so late, I called them and they told me to go down today instead. So I took the bus and MRT again this morning. The repair for the seat will cost me $60, luckily it’s nothing much, so relieved.
I just came back from Sembawang. Left office at around 8.30am for Compasspoint then took 3 buses to Sembawang Shopping Centre. The problem was with the telephone wire, it’s spoilt..tamade. We then took one direct bus back to cityhall..the bus journey was 1 hour…backside pain.
Came back in time for lunch. Didn’t want to eat because I had Macdonalds breakfast in the morning while waiting for the Compasspoint branch to open, but Peninsula’s store manager wanted to treat us again. During my time here, he treated me a total of 3 times already..feeling so paiseh. He’s always so generous and he will always order chunks of food. Had so much today I’m feeling so bloated now.
My FYP group’s coming to my place for discussion today and I didn’t know it till just now. Ok nevermind it’s fine with me. Will be collecting my bike later, my sister already know about my bike, probably I will offer her a lift one of these days. Recently there’s so many shows and news on bike accidents, morever my cousin’s side malay nephews all had accidents with their bikes, so I guess now is not the right time to tell my mummy hehe.

Thursday
I went to my bike shop yesterday to collect my friend’s ic and also my bike’s insurance. I also left my bike with them to fix my cushion, I wonder how much they will charge me this time sob…
So I came to work this morning on bus and mrt. Haven’t caught those old “friends” of mine on the train, saw some familiar faces but of course I didn’t say hi. So here I am, back to when I have to squeeze around with the rest hoping I can enter the train,
stand around hoping I can find a seat and remembering to scan my ez link card when I alight from the bus. Hate doing all these, but if I have a direct bus that can take me from my home to my workplace in time and have no lack of seats for me choose, I will gladly take a bus to work. I can sit down whichever way I like and either take a nap or enjoy tv mobile…now that’s comfort on a public transport. Will get my bike back on Friday…looking forward.
I lost my water bottle, not sure where it went to, I think sam misplaced it…now I come to work everyday without water…thirsty lah. Don’t drink tea or coffee or hot water so I seldom go to the office’s pantry.
Bata is opening a new branch in Sembawang Shopping Centre, if I’m not wrong, that is just beside Singapore Satay Club? So I might be going there today to do setting up. Other than that, yet another boring day with nothing to do.

Wednesday
I did almost nothing yesterday..woke up at 12 noon, ate my lunch and went back to lie down on my bed...haha. But guess what i did do something really stupid, i went to d.i.y cut my bike's cushion seat to make it lower...now although it's much more managable, it's uncomfortable...sob sob...
Should be going down to the bike shop to ask them how much it will cost me to replace the cushion..what a stupid thing i did..now i'm sure i have to spend more money..why didn't i just spend $50 and let the shop do it...now i have to spend probably $100-$300 to replace the cushion..so not worth it..dammit.

Eve of Hari Raya Puasa 2003
Went out with weijian aka cheap yesterday. We went to queensway shopping center before going to beach road to play lan again hehe. After that i bought fish ball noodles for sam and brother from lavender food square before going back. Nothing interesting I will say hehe.
Cheap is the only lucky one that I know who have a long weekend this week, the rest have to book in yesterday and book out today..what a waste of time and money. Oh anyway cheap is going dating again today, looks like his chances are quite good hee.
Called my bike shop just now, they quoted me a price of less than $300 for a repair of my bike. Dammit a few falls cost me $300..heart pain. But if I don’t get it touched up I feel uncomfortable inside knowing that my bike is not so perfect I don’t know why..so I guess I’ll just spend that money. An expensive lesson for me but at least I’ll be more careful next time and I never got injured in any incident thank God. They told me everything will be done in 7 days so I guess I’ll be bikeless for 1 week soon.
Will be meeting Jackie, Odette, Ivory, Horse for dinner later, Sam might be coming along (She’s giving excuse not to go course she’s sick). May my eve of a public holiday be a fulfilling, happy and faultless one..cheers!

Weekenddd
Went home after work on Friday and i rested till around night before i met up these 2 guys from the forum. One was riding a Piaggio X9 Evolution and the other a red Aprilia Atlantic, same as me. They were really nice..they came all the way to Ang Mo Kio when i asked them for help. I suspected that my handlebars were not aligned with my wheels after i dropped it the last time and my bike shop told me my suspension fork might be bent and wanted to charge me around $120 for servicing. I didn't believe of course and morever i have to leave my bike with them for around 1 week to service it NO WAY. As for the scratches on the bike they told me they can do touching up for me but of course i didn't want them to do it..don't want to spend more money. I was told i can use Tamiya paint and do some touching up...might try it soon.
Oh anyway both of them helped me out for nearly 1 hour. They screwed out these and that to see what's wrong and adjusted abit. But after adjustment it still didn't feel right, they told me that my handlebar might be bent and recommended a mechanic in amk to go to. But so far i have no problem riding and i think i'll skip the servicing for now. While dismantling halfway they needed a spanner but we all didn't have one..as i lived the nearest of course i went home to get it. They were really thoughtful and the atlantic guy gave me a lift to my block..(we were at the multi storey carpark opposite my estate..so it's quite far). This is the 1st time i'm being pillioned on an Atlantic and the 2nd time i've ever been pillioned in my life. I have to admit i don't really like being pillioned, i don't have control of the bike and i don't feel good haha. Now i understand how you pillions feel...but i guess once you get used to the rider and being pillioned..it'll be ok, just like Sam...she fell asleep on my bike once. They left at around 10.30pm as they were supposed to meet some others at ermmm 10.30pm. They all planned to go to JB to eat and also pump petrol. Might be meeting them again because they offered to help me out with my I.U unit..(it's currently under my seat).
Oh ya they told me not to travel above 70km/h until i clocked 1500km on my mileage and not above 80km/h until i clocked 2000km. Once i reached 3000km i can go any speed i like..this is called a run in of the engine and it supposingly can make my engine perform better in the future. I'll heed their advice so now i'll stick to the left lane of the expressway!
After they left i made my way to Punggol Nasi Lemak Coffeeshop at Hougang South to meet Jackie, Odette and Bernerd. We all went there feeling full, so we all had a drink first. I parked my bike by the side of the road and after awhile, the police came and of course i had to flee, i hope they didn't take down my license plate number. I then parked at some carpark at the back where Jackie parked his car too. We continued having our drink and chit chatting until it rained! We expected it to be a passing shower but NO!, it was a cumulomnimbus cloud and it continued to rain and rain! We then decided to eat, so we tried the AMK house of noodles, minced pork noodles...it was delicious..very much like the one in AMK S11. Had our fill but it was still drizzling..we decided not to wait and left. But of course all of them had cars and i'm the only one without any shelter for my journey home. Got home late and had to turn in early because there's school tomorrow!
On Sat, went to school. After that went to Changi village because Sam wanted to eat the Nasi Lemak there. We went to the red house in Pasir Ris because she wanted to see it...it was eerie...there were offerings placed at the front of the gate. We didn't want to look longer and left.
At night we went for Havana Night, tickets courtesy of Phillip Morris. Their dances were great...sexy bodies were flying all around. The guys were freaking strong as they threw the girls around as if they were only 1kg. I ate my Quarter Pounder inside as i didn't have time for dinner before the concert and was feeling really hungry. Hope the rest of them didn't smell my burger hehe. After the concert we all left, Sam went home with her brother and so i'm left to leave alone. Anyway we had arranged to play mahjong at jackie's house, i picked pussy up at Paya Lebar MRT and went there. Horsey was late as usual and we didn't start playing until 12 midnight. Ended at around 3am and i lost $2, Pussy Han lost the most and Horsey won the most. We then decided to go to Bedok 85 for supper...supper was courtesy of Horsey having won our money...had the yummy soup minced pork noodles and yet another night i'm going to sleep with a full stomach, don't be surprised if you see a ballooned me next time.
Had nothing on today..Sam went to the Bird park with her family and i'm left at home alone. Shall start planning now...blog again tomorrow.

It's friday!
While arriving at the carpark today, for the 1st time in 5 months i saw the owner of the Piaggio X9 Evolution always parked at the same carpark. He was a balding old man and he's really friendly. He came up to chat with me..asking me how much i bought mine..what engine i using etc etc. He also asked me why i have wires tangling from my bike..thinking it was some radio thing when it was actually my ERP I.U unit. He told me it can be quite dangerous with wires dangling like that and tell me to get the mechanics to do something soon..i understand. I also found out that he has all 3 classes license of riding...he told me that he used to owned 500cc, 250cc bikes but since he's already old he don't need something so powerful. He works in the same building as me and i think i'll see him around more often.
Went jogging with Sam at upper Pierce Reservoir yesterday. Nice quiet surroundings with no lack of fresh air. But that girl got tired after jogging awhile.....so lousy....HEHE...
Going back to school tomorrow. Hope today pass soon....

SOBBBBBB
Today will be one of the moodiest day of my year. While i released my bike from it's mainstand in the carpark this afternoon...i never hold properly and the bike dropped! KNNNNNNNNNN......damn pissed off...now the bike has quite jialat scratches..the "I" and "C" from the atlantic fell off but i superglued it back...pissed off with myself...shit man..why did i do that...ARGHHHHH
I'm at home WOOHOO!
Went CMPB to submit some edocument shit..this is the 4th time i've been there already...those inefficient morons...why can't they just settle it at one go chop chop? Anyway it's ok...i settled everything within half an hour today and i came home first of course! Going back to office later after lunch....the day will be easier and shorter to pass of course. I just cooked myself a packet of maggi mee (actually myojo mee) and nuggets and i just finished them. I has been months since i ate maggi mee can you believe it.
Don't know what to do now..1 more hour to go before i shall go back to office. Nothing much to blog about today. I'm contemplating if i should DIY cut the cushion of my bike to lower to seat...haii...wait spoil i'll cry...

My tuesday
Working as usual....with nothing better to do. I went to clean my baby during lunch just now and guess what! I notice a few minor scratches by the side! Damn pissed off..who is the bastard that anyhow park scratching my bike in the process...i'm gonna to whack him up...although the scratches are really small i still don't feel good. After all i spent my fortune on it..i feel as if my bike has been molested HAHA.
Yesterday i went to my bike shop to install an I.U unit for $152...they told me there's no where to put the I.U on the bike so i have to temporarily put it under the seat. Anyway might as well since it's more pleasing to the eye without an I.U and my cashcard won't be stolen this way if i forgot to take it out. But the bad thing is everytime i go pass an ERP station i have the take the I.U out because the station might not be able to detect the I.U and i'll get a summon as a result. There's a grotesque stain on my handlebar and i asked the bike shop to change it for me. But they told me i can go down only on thursday since that's when the new stocks arrive. I saw a petite Malay girl riding a new Kawasaki KRR Kips yesterday...and guess what..apparently it's Sham's cousin. What a small world.
That night at the private estate opposite my house where i always park my bike, a couple on the same Red Aprilia Atlantic rode past my parked bike. Anyway i seem to bum into Mazi's younger brother Jack all the time...he seem to go home and go out at the same time with me all the time..i don't know whats up with that haha. They seem to be going for a spin around..at least they don't seem they're there for a reason. I look at them..they look at me...both of us seem shocked that we have exactly the same bike and exactly the same colour too hehe. His bike is FX too..seems like he got it not long ago too..will want to meet up with a few other atlantic owners to chit chat one day hehe. They can teach me a trick or two on how to maintain it and at the lowest cost too!
Shall continuing stoning now..will update my blog when i feel like it.

Fellow bike lover
Found a fellow bike lover's blog...boy does he own alot of bikes over the years..check it out..
HERE

Be really careful at Bangkok
While talking to my colleagues during lunchtime, my colleagues warned me about Bangkok. Especially Sam, Meiwen, Meiting and Carrie read carefully hehe. Apparently more than 10 years ago, my colleague’s uncle’s colleague’s brother went Bangkok for honeymoon together with his wife. They hailed a cab and the wife boarded first, before the guy even boarded the taxi sped off and apparently his wife was never ever seen again. My colleagues told me that his wife was really pretty and kidnapping was not uncommon in Bangkok/Phuket etc. So you guys better board any cab/tutu etc first..preferbly holding the hands of your love one. If not you might be the one being kidnapped and forced to sell backside for the rest of your days! EEEK!
Anyway if this really happens during our trip to Thailand, I’ve come out with a few solutions to it.
1. Bite that damn taxi driver’s ears and poke his eyes. Never mind about the crash..better get injured then sell your body for the rest of your life.
2. Bring along some insect repellent or insecticide and spray it onto his eyes.
3. If all else fail…JUMP CAR!
Anyway with Laijin around during the trip nothing will go wrong since he’s the incredible BAO of our class. And I’ll pack a parang, a chopper, a fruit knife and an army swissknife in my luggage…..HAHA..fear not ladies!

Long weekend
I suspect that this will be a long post from me because I certainly had a long long weekend…a lot of things happened and I’ll try to put them down in words from what I can remember.
On Friday, I handed over my Phantom to it’s new owner after work. He came to City Hall to collect it afterwhich I went to meet Puss. We took a bus down to orchard and alighted at the bus stop beside Taka. We walked for quite awhile before we finally compromised on where to have dinner…Crystal Jade noodle house…that stupid puss ordered so much food I got so bloated. And the worst thing is that the different dishes he ordered all had the same pork filling in them…crap. After dinner we went shopping, I was looking for my mum’s birthday present and he wanted to buy a wallet. He finally settled for a Braun Buffel wallet and I settled for a $55 pillow instead of the $240 Tempur pillow I initially wanted to buy. Present finally settled!
On Saturday, I woke up at around 12 noon and went to watch the past few episodes of Holland V that I missed. Halfway through, my family finally decided we should go to Jack’s place for lunch to celebrate my mum’s birthday. So I didn’t managed to finish watching my Holland V and had to go prepare. Midway through lunch I got a call from Dom that I can collect my new bike! But I had to find a guarantor first before I can go collect my new bike, I got my cousin which he readily agreed! I went with sam and met him at Paya Lebar where he drove us to the shop. It was raining but fortunately it wasn’t heavy. We settled everything and I got my bike…the seat is quite high but it’s lighter and much easier to handle than the Phantom. My pillions complained that the seat is too high and they feel insecure. But I think it’s more fun since you can see further and the air up there is always fresher! The one problem I’m having with the bike now is that there’s no I.U unit! Now I can’t go through any ERP station and not get summoned! And you people know I have to pass by at least 1 ERP station everyday to come to work! I called the bike shop and I was told I have to pay $152 to install one and it can be done earliest by Monday…dammit man…more money to be spent.
Anyway I fetched Sam to Suntec where she was going to meet xiaowen and mingli to celebrate the latter’s birthday. Weijian met me there at Suntec too and we went Beach road to play lan. After that we went for a spin and we ended up in Marina South. Later on I went Jalan Kayu to meet Clarence and friends for supper. They didn’t believe I changed my bike and even came prepared with a camera wanting to take me riding the phantom…(something they find hilarious)..HAHA. Anyway here’s a few pictures of my new Aprilia! Pictures ain taken too carefully so bear with it!
Sunday, 16th november 2003….one of the most unlucky day of my year. Ok the Sunday started normally, I went for mass with Puss afterwhich we had lunch with Dom, Dot and Fabien. After lunch I headed for Sengkang to my cousin’s house for her baby’s MAN YUE (1st month?). Guess what…my sister found out that I got my motorbike license. She asked me while I was eating along the corridor. She didn’t scold me or anything, she just told me that by now I should know whether it’s dangerous riding a bike. She told me that while at A&E, this biker came to the hospital clutching his groin and his testical dangling. Apparently he got hit by a truck..he was a malaysian. I’m not trying to generalise but I think those malaysian bikers are really reckless. They squeeze through cars like nobody’s business and they seem to always speed on the expressway. Yesterday I witnessed 2 bikers riding freaking dangerously on CTE…the traffic was relatively heavy and they zoomed between cars at ridiculous speed. One of the bike even had a pillion…crazy people…don’t they even treasure their lifes? At that speed…one wrong move and they’re gone. Anyway they are not malaysians HEHE. I guess it’s anytime soon that my family will find out about my bike, my cousin told me that my sister and kok bin suspected. I’ve been trying to hint…leaving bike pictures on my computer desktop and leaving my bike magazine around. I just hope they won’t object violently to it and will eventually accept it?
After leaving my cousin’s place, I went to fetch Sam up from her workplace Borneo Motors. We then went to Geylang to eat her Turtle soup…one small bowl costed a whooping $10, it’s already the cheapest. After dinner we got Nicole her favourite chicken rice and sent it to her place. Her parents weren’t at home and Sam wanted to accompany her because she thinks it’ll lonely for her. I didn’t think so since her maid and grandpa are at home. Anyway I persuaded her to accompany me to Regina…this bike store near Lim Ah Boy. She wanted me to install this backseat cushion to make it more comfortable for her. It costed me $37..$40 actually but I didn’t have enough cash and they didn’t accept NETS. After installing it we went back to nicole’s place and stayed there for awhile. I had a bath and that’s one of the worse mistake this night. We left after awhile as we were both tired. I sent Sam home and went to AMK to pump petrol. After filling up the tank I realised that I didn’t have my wallet with me! I left it in Nicole’s bathroom! So guess what happened next..obviously I panicked..no money to pay..i called the one living nearest to the koisk…Fabien..he didn’t pick up his call. I had no choice..i told the cashier and filled up an I.O.U..travelled all the way back to paya lebar and back to settle the payment…dammit..what bad luck. I definitely spent more than $100 this weekend alone..feel so sad. Going to start saving now….
