Plain Amusements

2010-01-12T15:02:00.004+08:00

Have you ever get those phone calls that tells you a whole lot of information and then at the end of the day, ask you the golden question and after you answer, they will give you the most teeth-grinding reply.

I received a call earlier that gives me that same feeling and it goes like this:

Caller: "Hi, is this Mr Tsang?"
Me: "Yes."
Caller: "This is XXX company calling, there is an event......(blah blah blah)...."

...then the golden question.

Caller: "May I know how old are you?"
Me: "I'm 22 this year."
Caller: "Oh, I'm so sorry sir. This is meant by the age group above 30. Thank you for your time."
Me: "It's okay."

*Clicks*

So over the past 5 minutes, I was fed with information that attracts me and in the end, only to get a '5 minutes of emptiness.'

She should have just asked me for my age before going on and on. But no...she wants to capture your attention with the lucrative offers and infos and then throw you out again.

I am not mad, actually. I just find it amusing.

Our 1st Year

2009-12-31T00:32:00.002+08:00

Yesterday marks our 1 year together. She is without a doubt, the first girl I've ever spent an anniversary with. I'm glad and a little amazed that we could go this far.

Over this past one year, we have been through many tough situations. But every single time, we discover each other more, understand each other more. The love she has given and showed me is selfless. I think I am beginning to grow on you. A bond has been established here.

Our time together have been mostly joyous and whenever you smile with the kid-ish voice trying to 'act cute' simply makes me want to make you enjoy it more as I know you are not a happy person naturally. So I just gotta do my best and make your happy moments count and worth savouring.

I know most of my promises to you have not been fulfilled yet. But give me more time, time will prove. Even as a friend, I will still uphold my words.

I hope that no matter what happens in the future, this bond can remain because of your pure and genuine heart. Although people change, but I'm putting my bets on you changing for the better and not for worse.

Last but not least, before I end this heart-warming post, I'd like to say...I love you.

I Don't Take Shit From Nobody!

2009-12-22T17:56:00.002+08:00

真他妈的讨厌“拿人钱财，替人消灾”的感觉！

If you ever try to take that tone with me again, I cannot guarantee the rage I've kept within for 5 years will not be unleash onto you.

Certified First Aider

2009-12-19T22:57:00.000+08:00

I'm now a certified first aider! In about a month's time, I would be carrying a little certificate with my photo on it and I can perform first aid on anyone.

I gotta say, the few days of training was fun. Although I got kicked out of class and barred from taking the exam because I was late, but I managed to make it up joining another class.

Here is a picture I took during class:

Hopefully, I get to do some 'mouth-to-mouth' action soon.

Muahahahaha...Muahahahaha...Muahahahaha...

Tough Love

2009-12-08T00:52:00.003+08:00

As I am munching my McNuggets I ordered almost an hour ago, I'm reading the note or rather, the cards my dear gave me on my birthday celebration. Below is quoted from what she wrote for me:

"Happy Birthday Alvin Tsang! At last you are 21 years old. Yes, the passport to many places. Hope you do enjoy your birthday, it's the first time I am celebrating with you. And, yes, it will not be the last. And there are many more to come. Yes!! It's the first again! I shall sing you the song 1-1 once! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to Alvin! Happy birthday to you! Hope this will be a memorable one for you. Since someone had said that his birthday had always been alone & there was no gf that spend-ed (spent) it with him before, so I shall be the first. Anyway, 2 remind you, my birthday is in 1 day & 4 months. Remember to be here with me & with my present =D Last one, I love you baby <3"

It is very sweet of her to divide it into 21 pieces of tiny cards and made me decipher the message like a puzzle. Even now, as I am reading it again, I feel the warmth and love from her.

Over the 11 months I've been with her, I have been tough on her. She always thinks that I am scolding her, yelling at her, getting upset over the slightest things, but little did she know is, I am trying to give her tough love.

There is never a day I'd stop wishing for her understanding, be more self-reliant and be more mature today than yesterday. . She has a great heart, but she has only seen ' ' this much.

I don't know why I'm saying this but somehow, I just feel like pouring out.

Streetwave Upgraded

2009-11-15T23:34:00.002+08:00

After 20 months of hard work, Streetwave has evolved from a pushcart to a shop. Yeah!!!

It was hard work to make preparations for the official opening although the opening was not grand at all, but the sweat, delightful moment and fatigue was worth savouring.

The new look of Streetwave:

Saw VI Movie Preview Screening

2009-11-01T01:38:00.001+08:00

I won tickets to preview screening for Saw VI!

I never thought I would win tickets to preview screenings. I was merely answering the question for the contest for fun, and wala! I won!

Feels good.

Reunion Is Great!

2009-10-17T23:03:00.004+08:00

After months of absence from the court, I have finally returned to the court and felt the touch of basketball. Although I didn't perform well. But the sweats, the moves, the intensity of the game...

Although I am really tired after the game, I regained my smiles, and that is something nobody else can give me. It's like a feeling of reunion.

^_^

Sacrifices

2009-10-14T22:38:00.003+08:00

As I was walking my girlfriend to the bus stop, I saw several people at the basketball court. When I looked at them, I wanted to touch the ball and have a game so badly.

For an entire year, I realized I have given up and sacrificed many favourite things I've loved. Time, personal space, doing my favourite things, getting together with friends...etc.

But, I know the sacrifices are worth the while because it gave me something greater. Her.

Actually it is not a major issue, but when I passed by the court today...I seemed to caught a glimpse of my past and is telling me..."Time flies."

Sick Popper!

2009-10-14T16:37:00.005+08:00

I was watching the 4th Season of So You Think You Can Dance and I saw this insanely sick popper, Robert Muraine.

I almost tear when I saw it.

(P.S.: I only noticed it when I saw the video for the third time, but his number tag is my date of birth. Random, but cool.)

How Alvin Is Going To Look In The Following 2 Years...

2009-10-12T00:01:00.008+08:00

I had a pre-mature haircut before my enlistment. So here it is, unveiling my new look...

...and here is my much cooler look:

Another Strike Off The Bucket List

2009-10-08T22:11:00.002+08:00

I finally laid my hands on this nice rectangular baby.

One more strike off the bucket list.

My First "Period"

2009-09-22T20:02:00.003+08:00

Moments ago, I finished bathing and I looked down. I saw several drips of blood on the floor and my very first thought was..."I get periods too?"

That is when I realised...it was the scratches on my scrotum that leads to the bleeding. The water fused with the blood and made it looked like menstruation. Crap.

I have truly experienced what abrasions and scratches could do to a person. Never ever underestimate these tiny little pains and don't scratch yourself too roughly or extensively. It could be agonising, really agonising. Especially in sensitive areas.

So people, don't mess with me. I may get PMS.

2009-09-21T22:48:00.005+08:00

我时常跟她说..."如果你遇到更好的人，对你好，比我更爱你，你跟他去吧。”

此刻的我，依然还是坚决地...

...

...

...会跟她说同一番话。

因为我犯下一个连我暂时都不能饶恕的错。

VISA Card World Currency Commercials

2009-09-13T23:23:00.004+08:00

I'm sure many knows the VISA card dance.

Many love it, enjoy it and do it including myself.

Today, I did the dance in the MRT station. In front of the security camera. Yes. People stared and laughed at me. Alvin has done it again! He successfully made a joke out of himself yet again.

If only I have a recording equipment, I'd record a live video and post it up. Don't worry, you may catch me doing it in the streets anyway.

In exchange, I will show the original one. Hahahahaha.

Mr. Forgetful

2009-09-11T22:36:00.004+08:00

I have no idea what is wrong with me these days. Last month, I lost my personal mobile phone. Today, I found out I lost my work phone while I was out yesterday.

Seriously, something is not right with me. I am becoming absent-minded. I wonder if my recent feeling of lost have something to do with it.

I was so down the entire day as I am prepared to make up for the lost phone and it will cause me $400. Luckily, JD was merciful enough to spare me.

What is going on with me? I don't feel smooth nor motivated on the things I've been doing and wanting to do.

No, I am not emotional or entering depression. Don't even give me the phase one of suicidal is denial crap. I will DENY you.

2009-09-11T02:40:00.005+08:00

Got home from Twenty Six not long ago.

Something struck me while I was having a hearty chat with my buddies which invoked some thoughts with regards in the current relationship over the past 8 months.

Several things appeared immediately in my mind...

Was I doing the right things?
Am I making the right decisions?
Am I truly who I am?

Over the 8 months, I told myself. I'd do anything to make her smile. So be it big or little things, I'd compromise and accommodate. But then I realized, that isn't me. I am still myself in physical terms. My mindset unchanged. But my behaviours, my habits were changed due to compromising and accommodating.

Most of the things that I've been doing, are they for the right cause? It seems nice and well in the beginning, but as I think deeper, I think I might have made a mistake. I instilled a false mindset into her, misleading her as to what a relationship should be. What a mutual relationship is.

I felt weak. As I am accommodating to her wants and needs, I was weak. As a result, she claimed the higher position.

It will be selfish of me if anyone were to read this and get judgemental. So, in her defence, she is not wrong. She did not make any mistake. She is an absolutely awesome person. The only problem is she is not subjective enough.

This reminds me of a line from Puff Daddy's I Need A Girl (Part Two).

"Someone who truly understands, how to treat a man. This is what I need"

I don't blame her. She is probably too young to understand or even view this different. It will take time to make her understand and to see eye to eye.

Therefore, from now onwards, what she sees is my true self. It is up to her to decide if she will accept me for who I am and what I feel. Although I won't force her to see eye to eye or to even accept it. I hope she understands.

At least I have one thing to be happy about, I got a psp. Another one off the bucket list!

~~Playstation Portable (PSP)~~

自摸十三幺

2009-09-02T06:03:00.001+08:00

刚刚打麻将，花上自摸十三幺。哈哈哈哈！

真爽！

2009-08-29T03:34:00.003+08:00

Can't believe how many birthdays there are in this month. There are about 10 that I know and at least four, including mine have a celebration or a party.

I hate birthdays parties/celebrations. Why? Because it is not an occasion for others to congratulate you, celebrate, have fun. It is a day where friendship and thoughtfulness are put to a test. Not to forget, you'd wish for a power that could turn papers into billing notes.

You gotta walk around a shopping centre/mall and hope to find a gift that your friend would love so much that would turn on his/her waterworks. It is a task that will make you want to pull your hairs out.

And, can you believe, hours ago, I went for a birthday party at McDonald. An 18th birthday at McDonald. How fab is that? I looked at myself as a kid again although I did celebrate my birthday at McDonald when I was a kid...I think.

How I wish I could be a kid again.

21, A Milestone

2009-08-25T04:03:00.002+08:00

I'm back from hiatus!

Many apologies for keeping my fans and supporters waiting. There are numerous reasons for my hiatus.

Firstly, I was really busy (and lazy) to publish a post. Just the mere thought of constantly catching up with what I need to post and rushing it through pours the fun out away. Plus, uploading photos is a complete hassle.

Secondly, I had a slight intention of taking this blog down while I was in China 2 months ago. I'm not going to elaborate, but I'm glad that I didn't.

And last, I was planning on getting a private domain with a new interface. In the end, I haven't been putting much effort in that and I could only do so much. But I guarantee, once I get my personal domain, it will look spectacular. For now, bear with this simplicity design. I will beautify it as much as possible.

So, it has been 3 months (84 days to be exact) since my last post. These 84 days, all I can say is happening and packed with activities. Attended Jiang Hao's wedding at China, travelling back and forth to Malaysia for events, well mostly Streetwave businesses.

I turned 21 yesterday. My buddies, circle of friends and my dear gave me a party which is supposed to get me in tears but I saw that coming. Thank you to those who planned, organized, attended and involved. I must specially thanks my dear, Evelyn, for being a great co-host. Although I knew everyone played a big part into making this party fulfilling and ended with a...puke. Wait, let me bold that sentence so she can read it. "I must specially thanks my dear, Evelyn, for being a great co-host."Otherwise, she is going to come at me with a big fuss and that emotional expression. Oh, and also, thank you to the greetings I received.

To me, 21 is a milestone as I feel from here onwards, what I am dealing with, what I am going to deal with are none of the things that I come in contact before. Along with that, come more responsibilities and tough decisions.

Well, although I am back. I don't think I can stay active. As many who have already heard, some who actually know and few who really remember, I will be enlisting in about 2 month's time. So I probably won't get on here too often as well. However, I will continue do my best to deliver laughters and keep in knit with my world.

Continue to support me!

Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian

2009-06-02T23:58:00.003+08:00

Hey there! I'm back! Well, I managed to catch Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian at Iluma. Not only that, I managed to catch a flu too! And no, it's not swine. It's seasonal flu.

This flu not only almost ruined my body, it made my dear cried too. Not going to explain, but simply putting it, the medicine made me drowsy, I was droswy, she was bitching, I couldn't take it and I might have raised my voice a little.

Anyway, the movie is as funny as the first one except that I find myself laughing alone while I think I am the only one in the theatre who gets the joke. I didn't think it was lousier than the first, I think it was equally good.

Rating: 4/5.

Hong Kong Trip

2009-05-31T00:43:00.001+08:00

Howdy, people! I am currently in Hong Kong typing this post. This is a one week trip and I've done a little too many...you'll understand that in a while.

Unfortunately, there won't be any uploading of photos in this post as I've promised my dear that photos will be exclusive to her. However, I do take bribes. Gentlemen, bribes begin at $2/photo. Ladies, a simple kiss will do...conditioned to hotties and while my girlfriend is not looking. Others, categorized under "Gentlemen".

Up till today, I spent most of my time eating, if you don't enjoy the food here, you ain't been to Hong Kong. Aside from eating, shopping...if you don't do shopping in Hong Kong, you ain't been to Hong Kong. Last but not least, I played mahjong. Hong Kong style! Now, that's something worth having. If you don't play mahjong in Hong Kong...

...

...

...

You simply just don't know how to play.

Oh, I've learned a lot. Not to mention, lost a lot too. Well, I'll be returning to Singapore tomorrow or rather, in 16 hours time. So until then, I won't be seeing any of you. *Smiles*

Graduation Ceremony

2009-05-20T23:02:00.002+08:00

It is official.

My final moments as a polytechnic student have ended yesterday as I received my diploma.

A shot or two to re-live the moments.

And that's me in graduation attire.

It was extremely unfortunate that I had to leave in a hurry due to the urgency to Malyaysia in which I have failed to go while my peers stayed behind and take the last class photos together.

To be honest, I was pretty upset that I missed the moments, but if it wasn't for the need to go Malaysia, I'd have stayed. What's worse is...in the end, I didn't go to Malaysia afterall.

At this moment, while browsing through Facebook profiles and albums of several friends, that I truly realised I have turned solitude. I began getting to the light knowing that I isolated myself from crowds and in turn, became an isolation.

Thinking back a few years, I remembered how I turned from a bright star to a mild glow, and now...a sparkle.

It don't matter no more. As I have gotten used to it. Friendships I used to have or at least the people I used to called Friends have dried up and I'm like a tree in winter...where leaves are like my friends. When it dried up, they slowly weaves down, land onto the ground and the wind will carry them to elsewhere leaving me alone, "leafless".

But I do believe there are several leafs that will get sufficient nutrients preventing from drying up. At least this is what it seems like for now.

I don't know, long road ahead. Maybe it is a sign of something in for achieving something greater. I am certainly hoping and driving towards it......

Post Mother's Day Celebration

2009-05-14T22:34:00.003+08:00

Got home not long ago from celebrating Mother's Day. As I was out of Singapore during Mother's Day, so I decided to make up for it together with dear.

We met up at Cineleisure to catch Angels and Demons.

The movie is pretty awesome I'd say...although I am not a believer of god.

Rating: 4/5.

After movie, I treat them to Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe for dinner and then we sent dear to bus stop before taking a bus home.

A simple yet fulfilling day.

Penang Trip

2009-05-12T14:22:00.012+08:00

Howdy, people! Got back from Penang yesterday. It was an extremely fun trip and I...after travelling in a coach and a van for almost 10 hours.

Let me begin with the first day.

Day 1
Arrived at Bayview Hotel at about 8am. Checked in and laid on the bed motionless. All of us were drained from the long and excruciating journey. About an hour later, we went down to the lobby as we signed up for a 1 day tour in Penang.

First stop is Penang Hill, where we ride in this tram maneuver by pulleys. It took us almost half an hour to get to the top. It was really windy and cool at the top, but the view is blocked by the mist.

We sat down at a place and ordered Ice Kachang. Chatted a little bit before continuing our little "hike". We didn't really want to trek but since we are already here, might as well take a little walk. But it didn't last, 10 minutes and we are dying to take the tram back onto ground level.

Next, we went to have have Penang Laksa for lunch. Followed by a temple visit. We wanted to go for jet ski, but many of us were really tired. Plus, we didn't have the proper gears for it. And that is the end of our day trip.

At night, we went to the revolving restaurant for dinner as we had coupons. You know, why waste it right?

My first experienc dining in a revolving restaurant. It gets on your nerves at times because it's moving, so you have to "reposition" yourself often. The food were not too bad.

I had plenty of salmons, fish, steaks and veggies. And that's the end of the first day.

Day 2
The second day was deemed as the best day in the entire trip.

We jet skied! The photos will take you through...

Hideous acts of mine captured again....

I wasn't trying to act like a kid playing in the water. I got sand stuck in my shorts.

With the beautiful sunset, we head back to the hotel and dress up for the wedding.

Now, here it the cool thing. We travelled in a trishaw.

About 20 minutes later, we arrived at a place called Maple Gold Recreation Centre. That is where the wedding is held.

Some of the friends we made there...

I don't know if I was dumb or was I succumb to peer pressure, I got "pushed" onto the stage to dance with a lady...who later turns to become my godmother.

The newly-wed and family...

My second wedding of the year and one more again in China. Wow......

End of the second day.

Day 3
I woke up with a really bad stomach cramp at 5am. I withstood the pain for more than few hours, I even had to skip breakfast. I guess it was because of the alcohol I had on the previous night.

I felt slightly better in the afternoon and we went to this huge mall to meet Ah Tian, the groom from the previous night. Ate at Swensen for lunch and Ah Tian took us to several places. A skate park in Penang, a local food hawker.

That's third day for us.

Final Day
Woke up early in the morning and had a light breakfast before heading back to Singapore. It wasn't pleasant as I was busy attending the pain throughout the entire trip. It was madness. An entire day of stomach cramps.

Eventually, I had to visit the doctor for my cramp. And NO! I'm not having a period.

This second round of visit to Penang was really fun. I am planning to to bring my mother and dear for the jet ski and other recreational activities next time...if condition allows.

Bus Ride Experience + Shopping Spree

2009-05-06T23:36:00.005+08:00

The last time I went for a shopping spree was heavenly knows how many years ago. Finally, today, I am able to go for another kill.

I woke up extremely early in the morning to sent dear to school despite the previous night I was up doing some work. It was pouring and in the end, she was a little late. Long details there, except I wanted to highlight the fact that there wasn't any taxi available for 20 minutes.

After I sent her off, I have a lot of time to spare since I promised her I will go out with her when school ends. I decided wait for any bus that stopped and get on board. 154 arrived shortly after and after boarding the bus, got myself a seat and began sleeping.

I slept through the journey till Eunos Interchange, took another bus, No. 83 to Harbourfront. Again, I slept through the journey and alight at Harbourfront. By then, it is close to 12 noon.

My final stop is at Orchard, where I have an appointment with someone at 2pm. So I decided to take 65 and explore Orchard a little more for my benefit.

One of my stops was in Wheelock Place where I finally purchased my iPod Touch that I have wanted for quite sometime.

I can finally strike that off my bucket list.

~~iPod Touch~~

I also wanted to get Entourage's season 1 and 2, but realising the huge hole I've burnt in my pocket. I scrapped the idea. I shall wait till my next paycheck.

Basically, I have walked through almost all the malls and shopping centres in Orchard. I can't wait till Ion Orchard to be opened.

Anyway, that's it for today. I am tired from absence of sleep yesterday.

Resonance

2009-05-03T17:17:00.004+08:00

Taking a quote from the show Numb3rs...

"Sometimes there are things in my head that is so purely what they are that when I try to turn them into words, there either are no words or I just don't know how? And...you just can't imagine how it feels, how hard it is to have an idea not being able to share it."

That struck me because I felt the same way too.

People who are close to you, be it blood related or not don't necessary understand you or agree with what you do. And just to have someone understand you even if the person is your close ones to share an idea or thought and forming a resonance is definitely not an easy task.

Feeling Invert

2009-05-01T07:32:00.002+08:00

When I first heard the sentence, "I felt my penis invert...". I don't quite get what they meant and the feeling...until 10 minutes ago.

4th Month

2009-05-01T03:17:00.004+08:00

Celebrated the 4th month with my dear. Although it's the 4th month together, but we spent the day just like any ordinary date.

We met up in town and she was late...as usual. I always thought I am the person who makes people wait...until I met her and she did a better job than me.

We wanted to watch several movies, but due to time considerations, we went ahead with 17 Again, so I got the tickets and went to grab a bite at Xin Wang's Hong Kong Cafe as I was literally famished as I haven't got any food down my throat the entire day.

Then we went to the arcade, followed by taking neoprint. You see, neoprint have become a "tradition" for us to remember dates like this.

Anyway, the show is not too bad. There is this scene when Zac Efron comes out of his Audi car wearing shades with a really cool jacket, and the girls in the cinema went hysterical in a silent mode. When I heard that, I gave out a little laugh.

I rate the movie: 3.5/5.

And of course, after movie...time to hit the road back home.

Making Pancakes

2009-04-28T04:50:00.009+08:00

Several posts ago, I said I was learning how to make pancakes. And here it is...presenting my first attempt on making pancakes!

Before I start showing, I must apologize for the poor effect of the photos. Because I set the wrong settings. Oh and just to clear beforehand, I am not trying to teach cooking here. Just plain sharing.

Anyway, here it is...

...

...

The ingredients required are:

* 2 cups self-rising or all-purpose flour
* 2 eggs
* 1 1/2 cups of milk
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 3 tablespoons sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt

First, you crack eggs into a bowl and beat until fluffy.

Then, add in the dry ingredients, and milk.

Melt butter and add to mix. Stir gently, leaving some small clumps of dry ingredients in the batter. Do not blend until completely smooth. Your pancakes will be tough and flat as opposed to fluffy if the batter is smooth.

Next, heat the frying pan to a medium low flame. Wait till it's hot and sprinkle a few flecks of water. If it jumps with a sizzle, the pan is ready for the batter.

Pour about 3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup batter from the tip of large spoon or from a pitcher onto the hot griddle.

Cook for about two minutes or until the pancake is golden.

For a first attempt, it is perfectly normal to meet with a failure or two before you can properly grasp the correct way. Sure enough, I did......

...

...

...

And so, I tried again.

Not bad for a first time.

So we tried making shapes and dear here wanted to try making a heart shape.

May not be the best looking one, but probably the cutest one ever made. *Grin*

We got time for one camwhore photo.

25 minutes of hardwork in exchange for these...

Cute, aren't they? I never said that it is going to look beautiful...Hahahaha!

Looks like those fake bakery food that are sold in Action City. Don't they?

Peace!

The Long Awaited "Pink" Letter

2009-04-26T02:13:00.005+08:00

Finally, after months of waiting...my time to become a real man have come. But I wasn't the first one to know about it. Damn, just when I thought I'd be the first to know when I check my mailbox every day.

So, the official day for me to get transformed into a real man is on 23rd Oct 2009. Still a long time ahead. I somehow felt relieved when I knew the exact date because now I can properly plan my days before enlistment.

2009-04-23T00:34:00.005+08:00

Although it seems like we have been in conflict a lot these days, I want you to know that this is the stage where we are really getting to know and adapt each other.

Just because I don't do what you asked of me or things that associate with you, doesn't mean other things that I am doing are more important you. I have my own systematical way of doing stuff, so I normally would do the things I have planned or in mind.

I don't want you to take this the wrong way, I believe both of us are learning to adapt each other. We will pull this through...I love you.

Learning Pancake

I am going to learn how to make pancakes. At least, maybe not from the scratch, but making it nice and tasty.

Check this blog often for the update of pancake making.

Jiang Hao's Marriage Registration Ceremony

2009-04-21T01:42:00.012+08:00

This blog have been stale for sometime. So I attended Jiang Hao's unofficial wedding ceremony last Friday.

But I was late because of a salon at Toa Payoh. Not going to go in details here, but the main point is, their time estimation blows.

I didn't intend to be late and because I am late, not only did I missed the ceremony, but I also unintentionally disappointed Jiang Hao...I think. Well, I couldn't blame anyone but myself. Plus, there were some information that weren't pass down clearly. Hopefully, I will be able make it up when I attend the official wedding in China.

Below are the things that I've missed...

Anyway, I still made it in time for the dinner. Immediately after the dinner started, alcohol were served. And I thought food was supposed to be served first. So after a few rounds of dished, time for our toast to the groom.

In the wine glass, it contained Martell's Cordon Bleu. Before we could add any any ice or water in it, we were "forced" to gulp down half of the glass...pure. By then, few of us are already feeling the heat. I felt the effect almost immediately, coughing and felt my heart pumping really fast as if it would explode any moment.

We were looking like this...

And Jiang Hao was a little tipsy by then, Felix too. So they did things that they probably normally would not.

Minutes later, Jiang Hao's parent came and offered us a toast, we obliged and gulps it down another time. This time, I felt it even stronger. After the 4th or 5th dish was served, I made a trip to the restroom as I felt the urge to take a dump. I guess my body was beginning to reject the alcohol.

After I got out of the restroom, I saw a couch, sat on it and beginning to doze off. For about an hour, I had no recollection of what happened, except for a few...I can hear voices and felt Felix kissing me.

When I woke up, I went to the restroom to puke and after that I felt so much better. But then again, all the good food were wasted. Plus, I heard I missed abalone and several other dishes.

By the time I went back, it was like a post war zone. I saw people snoozing off, I saw people's behaviour began to change. People were looking listless and as if they were about to drop anytime.

Meanwhile, after I became more sober and since the banquet has ended. We were just sitting around and my bored syndrome began relapsing again...

Witnessing this, Samantha decided to compete with me and see who can make more funny faces...

...obviously she lost.

Before realizing it, many guests have left and the banquet have ended. In the end, all the food that I ate previously were thrown up, at the very least, I should have tasted all the dishes before my puking starts.

Since many of us were feeling tipsy, those who drove and are still feeling "healthy" sent us back to have a good rest.

Laptop Resurrected

2009-04-15T15:35:00.001+08:00

Finally, after few days of gruesome wait. My laptop have finally return to my open arms.

Luckily, I am occupied with other matters. Otherwise, I would have "murdered" myself. I think I am getting overly addictive for computer and internet. It's suicidal.

Laptop Died

2009-04-10T11:24:00.000+08:00

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, my laptop died on me few hours ago. I don't think it went totally dead, at least it could be turned on, but the monitor shows nothing but vertical rainbow lines.

Does bad luck comes in a string or do they happened coincidentally? Now I won't have access to the internet for at least a day or two.

Not Good Friday

2009-04-10T06:44:00.007+08:00

Came through a horrific night without a wink. I never thought it would actually happen.

A mere "helping a friend in need is a friend indeed" turned into a brawl. What's worse is they are the closest to me. Words were unable to describe my feelingw when I saw Guy A swang his fist and landed on the Guy B's face. Not only did it happened once, it happened twice...I stood there, reacted abnormally. All I did at that moment was watching the brawl happened. Shortly after, the brawling stopped and both parties were separated.

We wanted to leave but couldn't. Fearing that Guy A might met with a mishap. One thought went through my mind after the incident, "What was Guy A thinking when he threw the punches?"

And then more thoughts began gushing and I told myself, "That would have been me and I am partially responsible for letting Guy B taking the punches."

I couldn't stop wondering if through my decade of friendship with Guy A...did it matter? If it did, why did he use his fist or worse...violence against us, his buddies? At least that is what we have been believing and treating him as all these while until then. Or maybe...he never did. I began questioning my knowledge towards Guy A.

Accounting for what has happened, I am utterly disappointed. I am not passing any judgements and neither do I have the rights to. I simply wants to justify the actions.

I don't know what exactly is going to happened next, but what I know now is, I might have probably lost a very important and highly valued person in my life.

True Fitness Trains Your Patience

2009-04-09T19:11:00.004+08:00

I've seen fitness centres training people's physique, but I have never come across fitness centres training people's patience.

A week ago, I received an anonymous call from True Fitness claiming that a friend of mine signed me up for a VIP package.

I remembered years ago...I received a similar call from California Fitness. But at least, they had the decency knowing when to stop or that their client, me, is not interested even to head down.

But in this case, I think they decided to test or rather, train my patient. That girl, who made contact with me, Tracy (Yes, I remember her name.), have been calling me for a week and I ignored every single call.

Logically, people stop calling after few days of no response, but she has patient. She pestered me for a week!

There are times when I really wanted to pick up and yell at her, telling her to stop, but then I wanted to see how long before her patient runs out and have a game with her.

I admire her determination, but I hate...oh damn! She is calling again......

Shinjuku Incident + Girls Shopping

2009-04-07T22:24:00.005+08:00

Woke up early in the morning to China Embassy to get my visa done together with mum. But I forgot to bring my passport, so I gotta go back again next week.

Then, went to Orchard and met up with dear and had lunch at Crystal's Jade Restaurant.

After lunch, went to shop for presents for mummy's friend. After shopping, it is still early so we decided to watch Shinjuku Incident.

The movie is captivating and compelling indeed. 3 languages in the movie. Not dubbed, felt original. There were some scenes in the movie that made my adrenalines rushed. Even though there weren't many action scenes.

Rating: 4/5.

After movie, I had the cruelest time of the day. As I was getting tired and sleepy, two of the most important females in my life wanted to do another round of shopping again. So I accompanied them and while they shop...I dropped. I sat on a spot outside and fell asleep. An hour later, they ended my misery and proceed to dinner.

Then, cabbed home.

End of 7th April 2009.

Clueless

2009-03-31T15:40:00.006+08:00

I never knew what I was doing all along was pushing you away. I tried the best I could to make you feel happy and loved. I guess the ultimately the fault lies with me. I expected too much from you, in the end, I made you felt that way.

On one hand, I am glad that you told me, at least I know now that you were not receiving the right treatment. On the other hand, I am really upset that I came to know the truth now...after being together for 3 months. To be honest, when I first learn of it, I was devastated and disappointed with myself.

Maybe I really do expect too much or tried to do too much.

I'm Sorry.

Our 3rd Month Together

2009-03-30T23:52:00.000+08:00

We celebrated our 3rd month together today.

Went to get her some blue roses before picking her up at her place. She was so smitten when I presented her the flowers and told her, "Happy 3 Months, dear." I can never forget that sweetened expression. Melted my heart right away.

Then we wanted to catch a movie because I have 2 free tickets. We were stuck between choosing 12 Rounds or Detroit Metal City. In the end, we went with 12 Rounds.

After deciding our plan for the day, I brought her to Optical 88 to make her spectacles...

Eww...looks so "nerdy"

After spending a quarter of my salary, she still has the cheek to pose "Twist". What nerves......Okay, I gotta give her credit for paying a slight amount of it, otherwise she is going to rant at me. What can I say? Blame me for loving her...

Next, we proceed to take a bus to Vivo City. However, we took the wrong direction and ended up in Bishan. Since there is a Golden Village, we decided to watch the movie there instead.

But then again, because we spent a little time on making the spectacles, we missed the timing for both movies that we initially wanted to watch. Therefore, we went to Confessions Of A Shopaholic instead.

The show wasn't too bad. Rating: 3.5/5.

After the show, we took a walk and eventually decided to take neoprint at Cineleisure. Followed by dinner at Chicago's Steakhouse.

Enjoying her meal (for free)

Spring Chicken (Her order)

Ribeye Steak (My order)

After dinner, sent her back and home sweet home.

Swaveboard Challenge 2009 At Tampoi, Johor

2009-03-29T23:58:00.002+08:00

Just came back from an event at Tampoi, Johor, Malaysia. It was energy draining.

Spent the night over at dear's house so that the next day we can leave together. So we woke up slightly later than expected, we woke up at 7am. We got ourselves ready and head down to wait for our "pickup".

So we got on the car...blah blah blah...fast forward to upon reaching our destination at Tampoi Giant. This event was organized in corporation with Giant Malaysia to promote our product, Swaveboard.

This event was an competition or rather, a challenge. 20+ participates, who were all kids took part and they had to use the Swaveboard and play around the course for several laps.

Round 1 was a timed race. The fastest 16th participant will get to Round 2. Round 2, a 2 vs 2 elimination race, the final 4 proceeds to Round 3. Round 3, participants have to swave 5 laps or more with penalty included. Those were the brief rules about the challenge.

Below are some photos taken during the event:

After the race, we had to remove the tapes that was used to outline the course. And I did something extremely dumb.

After removing almost all of the tapes, I rolled it around my wrist to form a big sticky ball. Some of which were used as a weapon to throw at others. I got hit by it as well and a funny idea came to me. I wanted to make my fist gigantic, so I placed a giant sticky ball on top of mine which were wrapped around my wrist earlier on while retracting the tapes and it turned out that it was the dumbest thing ever...
my wrist got stuck and I wasn't able to get it out!

Look at my so-called compassionate colleages who tried to get it out for me...

...

...

...

My hand was turning purple and they still had the cheek to make fun of me, taking pictures and pose. Eventually, my dear borrowed a scissors, used it to cut it off to end my misery. I swear I will try not to attempt such a foolish act ever again.

After wrapping up, all of us went to have dinner before heading back to Singapore. Although it is our first event, but I think everyone did a great job. More events to come soon...

Left 4 Dead Children Version

2009-03-25T15:55:00.002+08:00

I came across this video from a friend on Facebook. It is hilarious! So I thought of sharing...enjoy!

National Cheerleading Championship 2009

2009-03-23T17:52:00.008+08:00

Woke up early in the morning to pick up dear's elder sister from the airport. Followed by a meal at Popeye's and proceed to taking the MRT together and went on our separate ways at City Hall.

We head to Marina Square to play arcade and I managed to win a soft toy for my dear. I had no idea in mind that I was able to capture it. We played some more games and she pulled me away from my basketball game, telling me to lose because we are running late to meet her friends. We were going to support one of her friend's cheerleading competiton.

Upon reaching Wisma Atria, meeting her friends, I realised I lost my phone! Surprisingly, I wasn't really panicked. But I was upset because there are important things inside my phone. Dear suggested calling my phone for a try and see if anyone will pick it up, I told her don't bother as most people would take the phone away and sell it off.

Little did I know, the person who found the phone picked it up and wish to return it to me. I was lost for words at that moment. He instructed me to meet him at Park Mall at 3pm.

So we reached the venue of the cheerleading competition at the private carpark outside of Zouk. I stayed for a little while, ogling at some girls before I leave to retrieve my phone.

I arrived early at Park Mall, so I decided to take a little walk because I never actually stepped inside. And to my surprise, I ran into Jiang Hao and his family. Wow, what a coincidence and a small country afterall. I sticked around with them for a little while before I went to meet the extremely kind guy who found my phone.

I was really really touched and was dying to do something for them, so I tried to get his name and contact so that I can buy him a meal or do something as an expression of my gratitude. However, he refused. So I left with a big thank you and gratitude and went back to the competition.

Fortunately, the competition started not long ago and when I got there, it was dear's friend's cheerleading group turn to perform.

I randomly snapped some shots and decided to put them up because I realized my blog is getting plain with words.

The photos were poorly taken, I know. I did not have a good angle and I was snapping them randomly. I reached a point when I totally lost interest in the competition that I went to the bar and took a snooze.

There were some pretty nice moves, but mainly, it was repetitive. Spins in the air, flipping here and there. It was captivating at first, then you lost interest as you see more and more of it.

Dear's friend's cheerleading group won an award I think. So...congratulations to them.

After the competition, went back to Wisma Atria to have dinner. Then, went to dear's house to play card game for a few hours before I head home.

8 Years And Counting...

2009-03-22T02:14:00.003+08:00

Just finished a little round of drinking with my buddies. A surprising news came yesterday, one of them is getting married soon. As usual, in my clique, I am either always the last to know or don't know what is going on at all. Haha, I am pretty used to it already. It doesn't make a difference who tells me anyway.

By the way, it is Jiang Hao who is the one tying the knot. Shocked? Amazed? Yeah, Felix is still taken aback by it. He hasn't recover from the "shock".

Time really flies, it feels like we have just graduated from secondary school. But this stronghold of friendship have been holding for 8 years. And now, each of us are heading in our own directions.

Whenever we sit together, there seems to be an endless topic. Most of them are reminiscing. This is what I mean by understanding the value of friendship. No matter which part of the earth you are at, how long have you not seen each other. There is no awkwardness or feeling like a stranger.

What else can I expect? This friendship is truly a blessing itself. I could never ask for anything more and neither would I be expecting anything, we simply hope our friendship lasts till the end of time. Sounds corny, doesn't it? But it is a fact.

Damn, I should have snap a group photo. Moments like this don't come easy.

Negativity

2009-03-21T00:16:00.004+08:00

As I sit inside my room filling with negative energy, I reflect on the events happened around me. Suddenly, I felt a gush of thoughts swept through my mind. So many things began to surface.

I began to think about myself and my relation with all the people out that I had interaction with, and I think to an extent, I have lost my creditability as a person. I have lost so much creditability that my words or things that I promised became negative value. I felt I have disappointed people, let people down.

The thought of people you are once close to are no longer feeling the same bonds that used to have is somewhat disappointing and saddening. Sometimes I question myself, when a relation begins to fade, what happened? For the most, I think people nowadays are tangled in their own life and circle that they simply do not wish to make socialization with friends who they shared happy moments with.

Then again, do people really know how to sustain a possible friendship or even managing relation? If they don't know how, let alone knowing the values of friends. I see so many people troubled by relation issues and this goes to show, how poor people is in managing it.

I still remembered how I used to be in the centre of a group of friends, we laugh, we talk, we beat each other. Those were plain fun. I spent most of my time out of the house with my friends. I couldn't count the number of people that I hang out with during my "prime". Now, I can count the number of people I hang out with using only one hand.

So many of my good friends are not longer here, we are an ocean apart. They moved on to another phase of life, I moved on to another phase of life as well. However, my heart refused to move on because I cherished the great times we used to share.

Sometimes, I wonder what is the factor that drove people apart and fading relation, is it time? Distance? Or people itself?

I wish I have the support whenever I need them. I know there are people out there who will reach the furthest for me. But I never actually reach out for help when I need it. Maybe it's my ego. Maybe I refused to submit to weakness.

I have a feeling that someday, people around me will be completely gone. My family is gone, my friends...only a few are left. Ultimately, I am still down to myself.

I could go on with this ranting. But I decided to hit the lights and go to bed. I shall pour my sorrows someday again.

Farewell Ceremony & IT Project Show

2009-03-17T14:37:00.004+08:00

I'm in my school lab typing this entry. Currently, I am at this IT project show, supposedly showcasing my work. But nobody is visiting the booth and honestly, I am not very proud of my work. So, in order to kill time, I decided to blog.

So, I went back to school today for the farewell ceremony and IT Project Show. I was late this morning, but I still managed to attend the "ceremony". Actually, it wasn't so much of a ceremony, it was more like an ending lecture. This also indicates that I am and will be able to graduate.

There is this video done by a few of my classmates and a few others, dedicated to us. The video is hilarious, all of us had a great laugh witnessing the "dedications" and their natural response to us. While watching the video and looking at some of events that went past, my heart was actually aching a little because I felt I've lived my polytechnic life in vain. I have wasted them totally. I did nothing. I accomplished nothing. The smiles on the screen completely proved that I have wasted my time in polytechnic. I could have accomplished more during that 3 years, yet...I let time leak away.

I can't blame anyone else but myself for this, I should have picked up something, be proactive in school events. Poor time management. Now, who can blame? What can I say? Instead of sitting here, rattling about it, I am going to make changes to it and start doing something to make up for the lost time.

And now, I am simply going to kill some more time and wait for the project show to end and my testimonial.

Swaveboard Course At Anderson Junior College

2009-03-16T23:37:00.001+08:00

Just came back from Anderson Junior College teaching a bunch of students Swaveboarding, it was a great experience.

They are receptive to our teaching and are willing to listen, took our pointers and improve on their skills. They managed to learn and play the board decently within an hour. Next, we had a little competition for them competing with us, the trainers. I was the first round pick. It was plenty of fun. Then, we gave them another practice session before we end it with a photo taking session.

I had fun and enjoyed teaching them. I hoped they enjoyed the course too.

300th Post - Update

2009-03-16T03:11:00.006+08:00

Typing this post in darling's place. I wanted to go home, but I missed the last bus(as usual) and I don't want to spend money on taxi.

I didn't know I have made 300 posts since my first blog post until I saw the number.

Went to pick darling up at Forum before proceeding to the IT show in the evening, the crowd going to the IT show is crazy! The jam on the bridge is madness, I was caught in the jam for almost an hour before it leaves me no choice to take the MRT.

I didn't have the intention of going to this year's IT show because I don't have anything to buy in mind. Instead, Oinky wanted to get a digital camera but ended up buying an external hard disk.

Then, we went for a little walk at CityLink Mall. We passed by New Urban Male and there was a sale, so she went in and wanted to get a tank top. But because there was a 20% discount on the 2nd piece, she got me one as well. Thank you darling! I ♥ U!

I received news few days ago that the amount of money needed to recover my data in my external hard disk needs $1000. It is very expensive, but I am willing to get it back for the sake of lost memories. Although the price haven't been finalized yet, this is going to cost me some extra money that I intended to use for other purpose.

I'm so depressed about needing to spend loads of money on things that I need before I even lay my hands on the things that I want yet. My paychecks are not enough to cover all of this. Right now, I don't want to think about it, I am going TMM with her.

Good Morning.

Career 2009 & Education 2009 Exhibition

2009-03-09T02:12:00.002+08:00

Dropped by Suntec yesterday to visit the Career 2009 & Education 2009 Exhibition. I wanted to plan my routes ahead and grab hold of some information regarding furthering my studies in Singapore.

I know with the GPA that I have currently, I most probably won't be able to make it to any local university and it's not like private university's performance stinks.

So I entered the Education Section instead of the Career Section because I figured that I most probably will be studying after my national service. I visited the SIM booth and it was filled with people. It is obvious being the largest booth in the section and all.

I went to take a peek at the paths that I am going to enter if I am going through the Polytechnic/Diploma route. Just like any other University, duration is at least 3 years depending on the course you are taking.

Then suddenly, I have this dilemma. On one hand, I don't know if I should continue what I have studied in polytechnic, on the other hand, to pursue a new course. Most people would advise me to continue with what I have learnt, but then again, I want to learn other things too. I'm pretty passionate and receptive into learning new things. So I am stucked into what should I choose for now. I am even considering doing double degree, and I know that would be extremely extremely tough for me, but I guess I will leave that for later. However, I am seriously considering it.

I have about 2 years to wait for any new courses that are available and to make my choice.

Okay, I am really tired now. For I have played almost 4 hours of basketball today. I didn't want to blog initially but I didn't want to stack and pile the amount of post again, so I did it anyway.

And, my precious darling unleashed her magic, coaxing me into buy Tamagotchi. Man, I feel so much like a kid now. Thanks to her. But I still love you!

Dumbfounded And Stunned

2009-03-05T01:41:00.006+08:00

I never thought this would actually happened of all the thing that I could imagine.

I am aware of how games can do to an individual. But this time, I am stunned by the outcomes of games and what it invokes. The damage is massive. And unbelievably, this is the second time that I am having somewhat a conflict through a game.

Maybe I was insensitive, I might have got carried away. But is giving respect to a person as a player a wrong thing to do? I don't know. Not for me to judge.

I don't want to talk about this too much, otherwise, I may give the wrong impression that I am complaining.

But I just want to add this, never provoke a woman. Once they locked their target on you, they will dig out the history bible and start throwing you with whatever grudges or unhappiness they felt with you through the entire relation.

I am going to refrain myself from playing competitive games or even sports with a girl that I am in love with.

Disasters Come After One Another

2009-03-02T23:16:00.003+08:00

Damn!!! My external hard disk crashed!! It is less than 6 months since I bought it!

Now I gotta spend another amount of money to recover my data. Arrghh......why do the misfortune befalls on me all of a sudden? Did I do something wrong? I guess I am glad I did my prayers earlier this year. Otherwise, I could have encounter worse.

The long absence of polytechnic life seems to make me neglect the importance of backing up your files. Oh well, I only hope that the cost wouldn't be high because I am still a "student" on a part-time job.

Pink Panther 2

2009-02-28T15:14:00.004+08:00

Watched Pink Panther 2 with "Eeeeee..." along with her sister and her boyfriend yesterday.

The show wasn't too bad. I don't find it different from the first movie. In fact, I prefer the first movie. And I felt like a moron because most of the time, I find myself laughing alone when the character said something funny. But I don't think the people who sat in the same cinema got the joke. The worst is, I don't know how to explain to my dear what I am laughing at.

Rating: 3.5/5.

After the movie, we walked around and I hoping to grab some bite. I wanted to play Left 4 Dead, but on the other hand, there is a Mahjong game. So I went to play Mahjong instead, which never happened. In the end, "Eeeeee..." and I had a long talk and I hugged her to sleep.

6th Shoulder Dislocation

2009-02-20T15:56:00.002+08:00

I don't believe it. I dislocated my shoulder again! None of you are to tease or make fun of me once I told what happened...

Okay, my phone was ringing in the morning and I went to picked it up. It was my darling. So I was happily chatting with her while resting my head on my left hand with my arms forming a V. Then suddenly...AH CHOO! I sneezed. That sneeze was so strong that I dislocated my shoulder again.

By default, it shouldn't have pop that easily with a sneeze, but apparently, the socket in my left shoulder is so loose that a mere sneeze can dislocate it.

So besides not able to go badminton as schedule, I have to pay a visit to the hospital and waited for more than an hour. Aside from that, I paid $75 and learnt how to locate my shoulde back to the correct position.

But at least, I get to accompany my dear, which I deemed it is a compensation.

Valentine's Day 2009 (First Time Spending With A Girl)

2009-02-15T23:48:00.006+08:00

Yesterday was my first time spending Valentine's Day with a girl. Not just any girl, but my girlfriend. I was overjoyed, I couldn't bring myself to sleep due to the excitement and also, the "stress" of the activity that I planned for the day.

At 6am sharp, I gave her a morning call so that she won't overslept and possibly to ruin the plans. Then, I went to pick her up at the bus stop once she arrived.

Upon reaching my house, I settled her down while I went to the lobby to collect the roses I have ordered few days ago.

Courtesy from Urban Garden

Then, I went into the room and brought her the flowers. She responded with the sweetest smile and look I have ever seen from her. I can never forget that look, it was filled with happiness.

So we did like what any other ordinary couple would do. And not to forget, capturing these special moments together. (We took quite a number of them and I selected those that are publicable and which I feel it's nice.)

My favourite photo of all

After our camwhoring session, I dressed up and we went out on our Valentine's Day date. Our main purpose was go take Neoprints. We first went to Bugis, but witnessing the number of crowd there were near the machines, we switched to Cineleisure.

The finale of the day was bringing her back to my house and I prepare a dinner for her. However, I turned out to be an embarrassment and my mum sort of took over the cooking role and......well, I screwed up.

I knew she was somewhat disappointed and upset at that last bit. But I promise to deliver a better one next year, if we have the chance. Besides, if I delivered too awesomely, then it will be hard for me to improve on it next year. Hahahahahaha!

I hope she enjoyed the day as much as I do, because I truly did. I LOVE YOU!

Mild Depression

2009-02-12T22:55:00.006+08:00

I have been feeling really low lately. Some of you might have already noticed the change in me. I became very much less talkative and seems to be pulling a long face most of the time.

I think I am suffering from mild depression......

I do not know the exact cause but I figured that there are several factors involved. My future, relationship and things that are happening around me. I am beginning to lose the usual self-esteem and confidence I usually carry around. Over the past week, I teared almost every night whenever these surround me. I have no idea why, but I couldn't control myself.

I felt like my confidence and self-esteem is slipping away. Normally, I would take criticism lightly. However, now I tend to get emotional whenever criticism or crude remarks were passed against me. I became a quiet person, I don't feel like opening my mouth or even speaking too much to people.

I am feeling lost about the future, especially the future of myself and not to forget, whether my current relationship will hold in the distant future when I really want it to work out. But there are simple too many variables.

I have no idea what has got over me. But I felt like there was a massive amount of sadness built up inside me and I need to release it. I don't know when will I start to feel better, until then, let me remain this way.

Dear, this paragraph is for you. I know it is difficult for you to see me in this state. I can't guarantee you that I can get better overnight. But I am willing to cheer up as times goes by and clear my head as soon as possible so that smiles will befall me again. I don't seek for your forgiveness for making you upset. I only seek for your understanding and supportiveness to help me overcome this. One thing I can promise is I will not let this affect the upcoming Valentine's Day.

Likewise, for my buddies, I seek for your understandings too.

Anyway, I gotta prepare for V-Day, I need to plan activities for us so that we both can have an unforgettable Valentine's Day.

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

2009-02-09T23:04:00.002+08:00

Watched the movie hours ago. The movie is extremely long. I sat till I almost can't feel my butt.

I enjoyed the movie. I think the story was well-written and it is indeed intriguing. It inspired and generated some tiny thoughts when I left the threatre.

And the surprising thing is Oinky did not fall asleep despite the long duration of the movie. Kudos! Oops...=X

David's 19th Birthday Celebration

2009-02-07T01:23:00.004+08:00

Celebrated David's 19th birthday at K-Box Cineleisure.

Picked up the cake at Awfully Chocolate before I went to pick Dear up at her school. I thought I was late and it was raining, so I took a cab down. Then, proceed to Somerset together. We reached Somerset at 5.30pm. We went up to K-Box and little did we know, we were actually the first to arrive.

So we went to get the room while waiting for the rest to show up. While waiting, Dear couldn't wait to open her voice and tremble my ear drum, so she decided to have a go. Look at her go...

From 6pm, we waited till 7pm before the first few arrived. Soon, we began singing more. Especially Sky, he began hogging the microphone. The rest of us were just eating.

As time pass by, more people showed up. Felix, Ken and Hui Lin. However, although the main role appeared, but the supporting role did not show up and a few others who promised to show up did not turn up either.

Then, we presented our presents to David and gave our individual mini speech. It is a Streetwave custom. But it went halfway and got cut off by the waiter/waitress. Next, we took a group photo. The photos were scanned but found to be pixelated, so I am not posting them up yet until I have a better resolution of it.

After the celebration, some of them went home while the rest went to Katong and play Left 4 Dead. That sums up the celebration for David's 19th birthday.

Sour Feeling

2009-02-01T23:52:00.004+08:00

On the bus ride home just now, I don't know why but I was feeling sour. I guess it is because some wild thoughts that I had from some events earlier on.

During the ride, I kept listening to two songs. Inconsolable and Throught The Pain (She Told Me).

Can You Feel Me?
Can You Touch Me?
Can You Trust Me?
Can You Love Me?

I Need You
Rio... Talk To Em'

[Mario:]
I Could Tell How You Looked At Me
I Knew My Heart Was Broken
And So Empty
Even Though My Girl Was Next To Me
She Didn't See
I Do Believe
That You Wanna Come By
Rescue Me
If You Read My Mind
I Have Set You A Place
I Wonder If I'll Just Will Be
In Time We'll See
She Told Me

She Told Me
She Showed Me
But She Hurt Me
Yet She Loved Me The Same
Has Anybody Ever Made You Feel That Way?
Could You Really Love Her Through The Pain?

... Yeah
When I Don't Wanna Feel This Way (This Way)
I Got Too Many Bills To Pay (To Pay)
I'm Hanging On Patrone All Day (Aye)
Mind In A Maze (Maze)
Blowing On Shit
I Can't Function
It Gotta Be Something (Go Ahead)
That You Doing
That Got Me Unconscious (Aye)
All This Money This Fame This Fire
How Could I Feel This Empty Inside? (Talk To 'Em)

I've Been Thinking 'Bout Giving Up (Can't Give Up)
But There's Something Inside Me That's Holding On
When We Don't Know Who's Right Or Wrong
We Still Stay Strong
Keep Movin' On (Don't Stop)
And I Promise I Will Never Leave
Now Would You Do The Same For Me?
I Wonder If I'll Just Will Be
In Time We'll See
She Told Me

She Told Me
She Showed Me
But She Hurt Me

You Make Me Feel (You Make Me Feel)
So Warm And New
So Would You Stay With Me? (She Told Me)

She Told Me (She Showed Me)
She Showed Me (But She Hurt)
But She Hurt Me (Yet She Loved Me)
Yet She Loved Me The Same (All The Same)
Has Anybody Ever Made You Feel That Way? (Has Anybody... Ever Made You Feel That Way?)
Could You Really Love Her Through The Pain? (Could You?)

Thank You For Showing Me How To Love
Thank You For Showing Me

Girl You Mean The World To Me
Just A Little More Than I Can See
Breaks Us Down
We'd Stay Together
Only We Can Hustle Who Ever
Would You Come And Go With Me
To Fulfilled Our Fantasies
Take Me By My Hand My Dear
Promise Me You Won't Have No Fear

She Told Me (She Showed Me)
She Showed Me (But She Hurt Me)
But She Hurt Me (Yet She Loved Me)
And She Loved Me The Same (All The Same)
Has Anybody Ever Made You Feel That Way? (Has Anybody... Ever Made You Feel That Way?)
Could You Really Love Her Through The Pain? (Could You?)

Why would you ever wanna hurt me
I would never hurt you
What ya hearing, I got feeling we're bout to have another fight
I was hoping, once, we could have a good night

If you love me, why don't you show it
If you need me, why don't you show it
I've been giving you my all
Giving you my all
I've been giving you my all, my all, my
What you been giving in return ain't enough
What you been giving in return ain't enough

I felt it so strongly. For some reasons, it just blended in with my feelings.

Our First Month

2009-01-31T15:22:00.004+08:00

Celebrated our first month together yesterday. I actually didn't have any plans, so I thought of just do some activities together. You know, I didn't wanna use up all my tricks the first time. I want to take it slow.

So we went to the Flyer because she wanted to eat Popeye's. But before we do that, she took me for a ride in the Flyer because she knew I have never ride on it before. She had this planned all along. I was touched, honestly. And at the same time, felt a little guilty because she made the extra effort to plan this and bought the tickets while I didn't. *Blush and Pouts*

So we entered the box together along with a some other people. Among them, there was another couple. Anyway, I took the opportunity to snapped some photos.

I didn't really take much because it was a 30 minutes ride and I wanted to spend more time with her instead of snapping photos. Besides, it's not like I have not seen Singapore's building before. But on and all, it was a sweet 30 minutes.

After the ride, we went to Popeye's for dinner. Then, went to Jasmne's house for some Mahjong and that ends our first month together.

Thank you so much, dear. I will do a better job next time. <3

Bali Trip

2009-01-30T11:27:00.001+08:00

Wee Ha! Let me begin with wishing everyone Happy Chinese New Year! May 2009 be a better year although the economy is taking a bad turn.

I got back from Bali yesterday, so it's time for sharing session.

Day 1
Woke up extremely early in the morning at around 4.45 to freshen up and prepare to head for the airport. Okay, skip the airport normal routines. So after slightly more than 2 hours of flight, we arrived at Denpasar the capital city of Bali, at about 9.30am. We were picked up from the airport to the hotel...Nikko Bali Hotel Resort and Spa.

I snapped a few shots of the hotel lobby...

After checking in, we went to walk around to look at the facility and scenery of the hotel.

Look at the Indian Ocean

The beach and the swimming pool

Another view at the Indian Ocean

After a little tour, we went to have lunch at a Japanese restaurant. We have meal coupons from the hotel for us to have either lunch or dinner in the hotel. Since the Japanese resturant is opened, we decided to have our lunch there.

After lunch, we went back to our room and rest till late afternoon before we set off to a place called, Ku de Ta. I gotta say...the place is AWESOME! The view is breath-taking. It is a great spot to view sunset. Imagine what you see is only the horizon and the golden yellow sun with the rays spreading out. Man, it is b-e-autiful!

My mum having a sunset cigarette

That's my dad who you hardly sees

Then, my mother's friend brought us to Jimbaran for some grilled barbeque for dinner. They said the barbeque food there is awesome. It was an experience to eat along the Jimbaran coastal lines, enjoying the food while listening to the waves.

Then, hotel sweet hotel.

Day 2
Had buffet for breakfast. Then went back to room and take a rest. Then at 1pm, we went to the lobby and meet up with our driver of the day. My mum wanted to see Bali's handicraft, so he took us to the arts village where the locals do the Batik, Woodscraft, golds and silvers.

But before that, we were a little hungry so we went to a restaurant that serves Indonesian food. The momemnt we sat down, we were immediately served when we haven't placed our orders. We were told that it is their way of eating in Indonesia Cuisine. Look at the different dishes...

It was really cheap. It is less than S$10, for 3 person!

So after lunch, the driver brought us to the arts village. First, we arrived at a place that makes Batik. After browsing for sometime, my mum decided to buy one of the Batiks. Then, we proceed to another village that sells woodcraft.

After browsing, my mum set her eyes on the few of them. My mum bargained till her saliva almost dried before the man gave in who her desire price...which is still pretty expensive.

Next, it was the highlight of the day. SPA! It took about 30 minutes to arrived at the spa venue. We went in, then realized the spa is fully booked till 9pm. So we booked our slot for the next day and left with a little disappointment. But then again, if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have able to go shopping! And to experience one of the most horrifying incidents.

We told the driver we would want to go shopping instead at a local shopping mall. So he brought us to Kuta, Bali...where there is a big shopping mall over there.

We told the driver that we will call him when we are done here. So he left and we took our time to explore. And then I saw a gleam of the beautiful sunset which I did not manage to see at Ku de Ta on the previous day.

While walking around, I became a camwhore.

We stepped into this area where they sell a lot of local accessories, Bali kind of items. My mum went crazy because if only the driver brought us here earlier, she wouldn't have spend so much on the earlier items that she bought.

So my mum and I did a little shopping. I bought stuff mainly for my darling and my mum bought it for herself, mainly decorations for the house. By the way, one or maybe few of the salesgirl there said that I looked handsome. Wahahahahahaha! (Oops, don't get upset, Honey.)

After shopping for slightly more than an hour, we decided to have seafood steamboat for dinner.

While waiting for the food, I camwhored again. And that was for my darling as she said she wanted a picture of me.

And then, I took some random pictures.

Suddenly, I heard fireworks and I looked up. I saw fireworks. It was so close! So big and bright.

The waitress told us it was someone's birthday, so he booked the venue and lit fireworks as a form of celebration. Wow! Pretty cool huh?

Finally, our food arrives...

...and this was the beginning of the horrifying experience.

We were in the midst of enjoying the food when suddenly, the fire were spreading outwards furiously. My dad realizing this and because of our seating arrangement, me sitting on the right, my dad in the middle and my mum on the left by the corner. Further, the seat is an L shaped seat.

So, my dad, being stucked, he had no choice but to rolled back and escape. I, felt that something is wrong about the gas stove too. So I ran. After standing as a self assumed safe distance, I realized my phone and our stuff is still left there and the fire is getting bigger and more furious. So I ran back, grabbed my phone and the stuff, almost simultaneously within few seconds and stood at the safe distance again. At this point of time, I had no idea where my parents was. (According to my father, he was hiding underneath another table. But I didn't know where my mum was.)

The fire kept grewing and grewing. Everybody was looking in shock and horror. No one wanted to approach the fire because they have no idea when it will explode. Until one "hero" comes with the fire extinguisher and starts spraying on the fire. Then...BOOM! A loud explosion was heard and I saw the ceramics bowl pieces flying towards me. So I blocked it with my hands.

After the fire has been put out, I heard my parents calling me and I responded to them. Everyone was safe and sound. But my mum seemed to be having a slight trauma. The waiters and waitresses settled us down and chose another place for us. At that moment of time, I had no idea why we still decided to eat there. I guess we were hungry.

Anyway, we were compensated with a new pot of seafood steamboat. Except this time, we required them to cook it before serving it to us. And this time round, the food were of a slightly better quality and portion. I guess it is their way of making up to us.

And then, after finishing our dinner, we called the driver to pick us up and drive us back to the hotel. End of day two.

Day 3
Had buffet for breakfast again. Then, went to the pool to chill. Since the hotel itself is a resort, we figured that we should stay in the hotel and enjoy the luxury rather than keep on going outside.

Before we hit the pool, we went to the Observatory Tower to look at the panoramic view of the Indian Ocean.

Shortly after, we hit the pool. And before we go for the dip, a few more pictures.

I hope this image doesn't irritate your sight.

After our swim, we went back to the hotel and prepare for our spa trip.

I had another terrifying experience during spa again. This time, it's just me. Well, there are 2 rooms prepared for us, because most of their rooms are for couples, so 1 of us have to take the room alone and due to a certain reason, my mum have the room for herself whereas me and my dad shared the couple room. Keyword, couple.

Upon entering the room, the lady told us to remove our clothing and put on their robe and the "paper" disposable underwear. At that moment, I thought to myself. This is it. For the first time ever, I am going to see my dad fully nude and I am sharing a bath with him first time in 20 years!

Actually it isn't really spa. In fact, we were having massage instead of spa. The massage was actually mediocre. So nothing to shout about. But then, when the girl asked me to dip into the the bathtub with rose petals on it. I had a little sense of disgust because she said that BOTH OF US are to spend 10 minutes in there before getting up and wash up. 10 minutes! My dad didn't want to at first, but the shower had no warm water, and since the water in the tub is warm, he joined me. The bathtub is not very big, just like the bathtub any household have. Imagine my dad and I together...in the bathtub....Oh man! *Takes out a shotgun and shoot at the thought bubble*

After our massage, we went back to our room, had a little rest before going for our dinner, this time round, we had Chinese food. After dinner, went to play some pool at the bar/club in the hotel.

Then, back to hotel room. End of day three.

Day 4
We spent the entire day in the resort just chilling out, enjoying our holiday. My mum went for a swim whereas I went to the gym.

Then at dinner, we went to the Japansese restaurant again for the buffet. Japanese buffet. Yeah! But I didn't really eat as much as I usually do because I wasn't feeling too well and I am beginning to miss someone.

Day 5
The day I return to Singapore. But our flight is at 8pm and we have to checkout at 1pm. So, we decided to stay within the hotel area until the time for us to leave for the airport. So what I decided do to was to hit the swimming pool again.

But before that, we wanted to use our last meal coupon for lunch. So we went to the this restaurant bar by the pool for lunch.

And you can see the part of the pool from here.

So, at little before 6pm, we waited at the lobby with our luggages and head for the airport. Then, 4 - 5 hours later...home sweet home!

Summarising the whole trip, It was packed with loadful of fun and experiences. I will definitely go there once more, except with different people.

By the way, if you are planning to go there, take Singapore Airlines or some other airlines. Try to avoid Garuda Indonesia, because their service is a little poor in my opinion and the air stewardess is *Sigh*. Well, hope you get what I mean.

I am going to end this extremely long post with a fullstop.

Dear Post

2009-01-23T15:13:00.005+08:00

Almost a week before I made any new entries. Actually, there isn't really much to update except that I am enjoying my holiday and break now.

Since my dear piggy sweetly and cutely asked me to blog about something, I shall blog something about her. :)

So this post is for you, darling.

Honey, we have been together for 3 weeks and it has been wonderful spending time with you. Although we have not been through much yet, but I think we did achieve some. There are good and bad in this relationship. The good would be every little thing about you...

Your smell...

Your laughter...

Your funny expressions...

The face that you make whenever you want to "win" me...

You soundly asleep feeling peaceful and loved...

Well, the bad thing is parting ways and saying good bye at the end of the day. And although I get a little ticked off whenever I am trying to tell you something seriously, but you "lame" me off. But whenever you make that face/expression, I can't get myself to be ticked off.

There are something that I would like you to know:

I hope you are more confident in yourself, stop thinking that you are stupid and all. Nobody is.

Do not be affected by what others say easily.

Have a little more patience with things, don't get agitated easily.

Be more optimistic, don't let negativity get you mood down.

Simply putting it, I just want you to be a happier person. We both know that there will be a long road ahead and it won't be easy. Especially when we both are insecured about the future, we should have more faith (not that friend of yours =X) in ourselves and let time prove our genuinity and take us to another level.

Okay, as time goes by, I shall create more happenings and let you have some stories to tell others in due time.

Ngor Ooi Nei. (For those who wish to correct my Nei, this Nei is 您.)

Change Is Constant

2009-01-16T00:48:00.005+08:00

I had a sudden rush of thought, so I think I am going to pen it down quickly before I lose it. Well, it seems that whenever I am alone, I tend to think a lot. Whenever I am around with people, I still think, but lesser and they are far less complicated and wrecking.

I am alone in my room doing my internship report while thinking about SOMEONE, but apparently I think she fell asleep like a routine schedule. Anyway, I think I said something that upset my honey during our conversation in the afternoon. I am pretty sure I did. I must have said or implied something till I trigger it. I hope she is over it now.

Well, I was just thinking how funny and weird certain things can be. One of it would be things and people around you change. They change no matter what, it will never last. Ironically, one thing that remains unchanged is Change. Change will always happened no matter what, where and when. You can know somebody for all your life, but that person never remains at where you first know him.

Speaking of changes, over the recent years, I think several people that I know changed a lot. I won't say who but you probably know who you are. I am not saying that I don't feel like I don't know that person anymore. I still know them, the bond is still there, but it is just weird that they are no longer the person who I used to know anymore. In a way, it is a little saddening.

It is simply amazing to see how much one word or an action can cause a drastic change in people. You can be talking to this person with pleasure and all of a sudden, things turn awkward. You can be having fun with another person and suddenly one wrong move and you messed up. You can be with him/her, getting along finely, and the next day, two of you can be enemies.

This just further proves that one should not make any mistake as much as possible for it will haunt you for as long as you can remember. There is a saying or belief that I believe in. "You can do a million great things, but people will tend to remember the bad things you did over the million great things, even if it is just one."

And precisely of that reason, I am afraid of humans in a very distorted way despite my interest in interacting with people. Sometimes, I would rather be with animals. At least they listen, won't stab you in the back and love you wholeheartly if you do the same.

I used to call myself Pessimistic Optimist in my old blog, but after transferring to this current blog, I decided to switch to Optimistic Pessimist. I think it suits me more because some people told me that I am a sad person, but I often view things in an optimistic manner. Another is I view things in an optimistic manner despite the situation is pessimistic.

Normally, my head is in charge whenever there is a situation. But when it comes to close and love ones, sometimes, I tend to follow my heart and become greatly affected by their emotions. Thus, I sway easily.

For my fans and supporters, none of the above thoughts and situations are directed or pin-pointing. It is merely some thoughts and experiences I came across over the years. You probably were in one of those situations or linkage that that I mentioned, but it's all good.

Hmmm......I think I have written enough for today. I shall stop here. Good day.

First Streetwave Shop!

2009-01-15T23:56:00.003+08:00

I hereby proudly present...Streetwave's first shop in Malaysia!

It is located in Danga City Mall at Johor Bahru. Awesome isn't it?! I can't believe we have achieved so much over the past 10 months. It is a touching and proud moment when I first saw the photos. I sincerely hope we will be able to achieve more in months to come. But it can't be done without the Streetwave family.

Road To Freedom...Or Is It?

2009-01-15T22:51:00.013+08:00

Been a while since I last made a post. Okay, several things to update my fans and supporters.

Internship is finally over! It is road to freedom! Or is it? Something...lurks beyond the freedom and I think it is an agony of 2 years. Enjoy while I can.

Minutes after knocking off on the last day, the internship gang decided to take some group photos.

Gay And Norm

Our last time signing off

Waiting to take photos

As many of you should already know by now, I am always the "centre of attraction".

Before I leave the office, I couldn't resist to hold my "office darling" one last time.

Kuala Lumpur Trip
Last week, Felix, Samantha, Darren, Ah Tian and I went to Kuala Lumpur to see if Streetwave is able to extend our operation over there. Well, it was hell of a road trip. I have no idea why, but on the way to Kuala Lumpur, we had to stop several times for me to pee. I think I am beginning to have a weak bladder.

How can you call it a trip without photos, right? Check'em out.

Where it began

Along the trip...

After meeting the person we were supposed to met, we went to get lunch. As I have regained energy, my mischievious acts were unleashed. I tried to be gay.

Then, on our way to the hotel, there was a huge jam.

So in order to kill time, we cam-whored and mess around.

After a long wait, we reached the hotel, checked in and took more shots.

We arrived at this huge mall where you can see the Twin Tower.

Then, at night...we drove around looking for a location that we heard it's huge and able to play or promote our board. And, we stumbled on some really beautiful building and structures. (Sorry for the poor quality, lighting was bad.)

The next day, we went to a few shopping malls to do some shopping. Once again, I couldn't resist to take photos and entertain/irritate people.

After shopping, we went back to the hotel, packed our belonging and head back to Singapore.

Along the way back to Singapore, it was fun and exciting too. We managed to arrived at Singapore within 3 hours. And that means we are travelling at a very high speed, the highest we went was 180km/h and it was constant at 140 - 160km/h throughout. Imagine sitting for 2 - 3 hours at that kind of speed. It is thrilling. Aside from that, we had a little of car racing along the way with an Mazda RX-8 which "spits" fire from the exhaust pipe. It was cool.

Basically, those were the few major events that happened over the past week. Cheers!

爱莫能助

2009-01-08T22:11:00.009+08:00

我独自坐在房间里，一边听着陈奕讯的"寂寞让你更快乐"。听着...想着...听着...想着...

歌词可以说是表达了我心里的某些感触。。。

没有馀温证明了今夜这里没有人
我可以睡得很安稳也不想留灯
你没有责任
也可以当作从来没发生
快乐后当你疲倦了又在哪栖身

寂寞让你更快乐
贪图暂时微醺的气分
你越迷恋陷的越深
当你透露一个吻
情愿拥抱寂寞的沉沦
只要一起附和什么都别问

用微笑配合
努力扮演好你要的角色
闭上眼呼吸那么忐忑都不是真的
你不会记得每一个伪装快乐的眼神
沉默了当你痛哭失声我会打开门

寂寞让你更快乐
贪图暂时逃离的气分
你越尽兴陷的越深
当你透露一个吻
情愿拥抱寂寞的沉沦
那些陌生的人谁给你真诚

是过去伤太深
才让你根本不能相信永恒
你的手那么冷
总会有人抢着为你加温

寂寞让你更快乐
贪图暂时逃离的气分
你越尽兴陷的越深
当你透露一个吻
情愿拥抱寂寞的沉沦
不知所措的人我真的心疼

我之所以那么喜欢这首歌是因为它的歌词简直把我的心声都唱出来。陈奕讯的歌真的很好听。听这首歌的同时，心里感到刺刺同时也有点热热的。脑子里想着某些事情但我却...爱莫能助。

对于爱莫能助，我一点都不陌生，因为过去的几年里我就已经体验了很多次。尤其是当事情发生在你周遭的人，你心有余而力不足的时候。那种感觉是很难受的。而现在我又再一次体会这种感觉，心里虽然刺刺的，不过开始有点麻木了。

我该难过吗？还是我应该若无其事？我搞不清楚到底是自信心消退还是对自己的"无能"而感到无奈。我只知道凡事都不能强求，如果事情真的不在控制范围内，那就只好用平常心去对待。强求只会让自己更难受。不只，还可能让身边的人和你一起"沦陷"。

有时我会问自己，把自己搞到那么累，那么不高兴，值得吗？我对自己说，只要对方高兴，真心真意的领情，没有什么累不累，值不值得。最后只要我看到一丝微笑，一个拥抱，一个亲吻，真诚的感激。什么都不重要了。

我想我也有很傻，天真的时候吧。

Handwriting Analysis

2009-01-08T14:03:00.012+08:00

My heart wasn't in place to do any problem solving, so I decided to try this handwriting analysis that I came across. The results are astonishing!

Alvin uses judgment to make decisions. He is ruled by his head, not his heart. He is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see him as unemotional. He does have emotions but has no need to express them. He is withdrawn into himself and enjoys being alone.

The circumstances when Alvin does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets him mad enough to tell him off, he will not be sorry about it later. He puts a mark in his mind when someone angers him. He keeps track of these marks and when he hits that last mark he will let them know they have gone too far. He is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All his conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. He is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, he has poise.

Alvin will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. He would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, he will show his love by the things he does rather than by the things he says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because he feels his mate should already know. The only exception to this is if he has logically concluded that it is best for his mate to hear him express his love verbally.

Alvin is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to him, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of his sound judgment. He will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. He will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and he will always ask "Is this best for me?"

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Alvin doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

Alvin will demand respect and will expect others to treat him with honor and dignity. Alvin believes in his ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. He has a lot of pride.

Alvin will be candid and direct when expressing his opinion. He will tell them what he thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want his opinion, don't ask for it!

In reference to Alvin's mental abilities, he has a very investigating and creating mind. He investigates projects rapidly because he is curious about many things. He gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but he soon must slow down and look at all the angles. He probably gets too many things going at once. When Alvin slows down, then he becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, he must slow down to do it. He then decides what projects he has time to finish. Thus he finishes at a slower pace than when he started the project.

He has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. His mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. He can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Alvin can then switch into his low gear. When he is in the slower mode, he can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. He is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

Alvin is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. He needs to visualize the end of a project before he starts. he finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said he plans everything he is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Alvin basically feels good about himself. He has a positive self-esteem which contributes to his success. He feels he has the ability to achieve anything he sets his mind to. However, he sets his goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". He has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, he will not take great risks, as they relate to his goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, his self-perception is better than average.

Alvin is very selective when choosing his inner circle of friends. He excludes all but a few from his fellowship. He limits his intimate friends to one or maybe two people. He tends not to trust the masses of people but chooses only a few to trust.

For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Alvin has no white space or margins on a typical sheet of paper. Alvin fills up every last inch on the top, right, left, and bottom. Hmmm. If this is true, then Alvin has a very aggressive personality toward others and quite frankly lacks a bit of respect for the space and property of other people. I would be surprised if Alvin just comes into someone's home and helps himself to a drink in the refrigerator. This can be both an obnoxious personality trait and it can be assertive and effective in getting what you want. There isn't much fear of getting in trouble here, Alvin finds plenty of reasons to break the rules and get in trouble. (Okay, perhaps when he was younger, not anymore?) Basically, people with no margins are a handful.

Remark
It's like this person knows me the day I was born and watch me growing up. I would say even if it isn't 100% accurate, it deserves at least a 90%. Psychology is slick!

Messed Up

2009-01-07T02:24:00.003+08:00

I am feeling really messed up right now.

It has been so long since I felt this lousy before. This familiar feeling. I know I felt it before. My heart feels empty. Damn it, I am not suppose to feel this way. But why? I am certain. This is the feeling, the feeling of lost.

I wish you are here and tell me how much you value me.

I wish you could assure me.

I wish you could tell me what do you want exactly.

I wish you could give and take a little more.

I wish I could tell you everything without taking it the wrong way.

I wish I could keep you by my side for as long as possible.

I wish I can take those sadness away.

I wish you can bring me back to our realm.

I wish you can do something to make it go away.

I wish fear would go away.

I wish I could break down...at least I will feel better. But I can't bring myself to.

Ah, I just can't go to sleep.
Cause it feels like I've fallen for you
It's getting way too deep
And I know that it's love because

I can't sleep till you're next to me
No I can't live without you no more (without you no more)
Oh I stay up till you're next to me (to me)
Till this house feels like it did before
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah
Feels like insomnia ah ah, Feels like insomnia ah ah

Insecured

2009-01-05T10:27:00.007+08:00

I almost had insomnia last night. I was in the mid of penning my thoughts down and then I fell asleep.

Lately, I have been doing more thinking. Most were on my new found relationship. Well, I guess by now, many people knows I am in a relationship upon seeing my bad man video and Facebook.

About a week have passed since we officially got together and through these times, I have been observant towards her and trying to know her better. And I did. Whenever I learnt of something new, I would make sure I nail that in my brain. I read and browse through many related materials about her and her past in order to know her even more and deeper. I think I managed to discover several things that I didn't know of.

After reading the "information", many "What if..." began popping up. Most were negative though. I have many doubts that is awaiting to be cleared. But I think time will eventually prove my thoughts and clear them up. I guess the reason why I am having these thoughts is due to insecurity and insufficient assurance. Yes, tough Alvin has weakspots. I need comforting, concerns and assurances once in a while.

I remembered as at one point of time, Micheal Learns To Rock's That's Why You Go Away started playing. When it began the first verse:

Baby won't you tell me why there is sadness in your eyes
I don't wanna say goodbye to you

Wow, I swear...that two lines there came at me strong.

I am not losing faith, neither have my feelings changed. In fact, they grew stronger day by day. Its potential is almost unlimited. We have just began and I am absolutely positive that there are many many many many obstacles ahead. Some, I may have not even come acrossed before. To be honest, combining what I know or learnt, I am actually having fears.

When she told me she fears of me taking off, I actually had the greater fear. But I cannot let it affect me. Fear may just be the one ruining the relationship in the end.

I have no idea why the sudden gloom. But I just can't stop feeling it. Monday blues? I hope so. Despite being said, I hope everything will turn out fine and things will eventually get better.

I Heart You, Oinky.

Bedtime Stories

2009-01-05T10:04:00.004+08:00

Watched it with my "pet pig" on Saturday. Not an awesome show. I think the things that I saw in the cinema is funnier than the show at times. Hahahaha! Brief review about the show, I would say this is one of the least funny movie among all his movies. There are still a couple of good scenes there.

Rating: 3/5.

After the show, we went for a stroll along Kallang River. I won't go into mushy details, don't think you people wanna know. But it was a heart-loving stroll. Then, sent her home and proceed to Jiang Hao's house for some chit-chatting.

P.S.: My dear "Piggy" lives up by her name.

Promoting Swaveboard In Malaysia

2009-01-05T09:11:00.012+08:00

Okay, about a week ago. The Streetwave family went to Malaysia to promote Swaveboard. We went to several places, but I don't remember all the name. I know one of it was Kulai.

We took a lot of photos during the first event, but subsequently, no more were taken. I guess we were getting tired after the first event. So the photos you see will only be from the first event.

The girls having fun:

The race team

Consequence of being a hero

Oh, it's a male model! No, it's a guy! No, it's the guy who tried to be a hero.

Tell me, how can you not be cheerful after looking at his expression?

David and I giving a demostration:

Mayor Of JB

She can't get uglier than this

Who is cuter?

Vote for me please! Okay, move on to some candid shots.

My favourite!

They have this mini shuffle competition which I think is mediocre:

There are simply too many. I am tired of putting all up. I shall end here. Bottomline, many of us had fun and at the end of the day, we are all tired and drained.

Bad Start For 2009

2009-01-02T01:49:00.003+08:00

Just when I thought the first day of 2009 would be fantastic, I did something very very horrible and hurt someone in the process.

Before I go on about what I did, I am going to do a slight recount for 2008.

2008
Looking back at 2008, I think it is a decent year. Personally, I have nothing to shout about. Because life since the beginning of 2008 have been mundane and I didn't think I have achieved much. But looking at other aspects, Streetwave have expanded very well, we managed to cross borders. We are slowly building our names in Malaysia now.

Other than that, I made several new and good friends, some are colleagues, some through friends. They are a good bunch to hang out with and of course entertaining too.

This year, I am going to serve National Service. To be honest, I am a little reluctant to serve. Hopefully, I will get something good out of it.

I hope in 2009, things will be better in 2008. I shall set some resolutions and goals for 2009 and after a year, see how much I have honour my words. The resolutions can be seen at the sidebar as you are reading this post. Unless you are reading it at a later date.

Okay, now back to what I was saying about a bad start at 2009. I am in a relationship now. Yes, Alvin found love again! Her name is Evelyn. Don't worry about how she look, in due time, you will know more about her. We started not too long ago. Barely a week.

Anyway, here is what happened...I am supposed to meet her after her work ends, but...due to my sleepy nature, I fell asleep and made her waited for 3 hours. Oh, I can feel that as some of you are reading this, judgements are being passed. Okay, I admit that it is not the first time I screwed things up due to sleep and me being tired. (Sometimes, I think the real culprit is actually sleeping and tiredness and I am merely the accomplice.)

I woke up with extreme shock, got changed immediately, almost literally wanted to flew down. I knew I am in for it, big time. I ran with all my might and managed to caught up.

I am not going to elaborate in details the hell that I went through, all I know is I have never said sorry so many times and did so many humiliation on a single day. But what can I say? I deserve it.

Despite she went home angrily, I stuck around the area and bought some stuff to show her my apology with sincerity. But it isn't enough for that poor 3 hours she waited for me. So on top of that, I made an apology video and I am putting it up for everyone to see. Pardon me for this, for this is the FIRST time I have EVER done it to a girl.

I SWEAR IF ANYONE OF YOU LAUGH OR IMITATE ME IN THE VIDEO, I WILL FUCKING MESS YOU UP! Try me. I swear I never ever want to go through that again.

There is another criteria I have to fulfil before I am completely forgiven. 99 blue, purple roses. All right, I'm going to crawl to my bed with a heavy heart now. Till you come here again, people.

Series Of "Unfortunate" Events

2008-12-31T01:04:00.012+08:00

A long update of what I have been doing over the week. There were many unfortunate events that happened and I shall share them with you.

First, I was turned into a "reindeer" with some guy and started posting in front of the computer.

My favourite picture

Then, during night time, an unusual sleepover. Well, turns out to be a night of non-gay intimate moments.

And on Christmas eve, an absolutely horrifying incident happened. A night I will never forget.

Felix, Darren, Samantha, David, Milly, Kesh and I were invited to Sebastian's crib for a gathering dinner. We had a sumptuous feast. But I am unable to snap any shots because it would seemed rude because the family is around. Oh, but the turkey was finger-licking-great! I have never tasted a turkey so good before.

Anyway, after dinner, we played some games. I tried Rockband. It was amazing! I was so into the game that I was sweating and my voice turned hoarse.

After "jamming", we were hungry and decided to have another round of food. Hmmm...Yum Yum Yum. After filling our stomach, I figured that it would be nice to have some entertainment, but little did I know it will turned into something so horrible.

Image preview:

The incident:

A longer version:

Aftermath:

I was scratched up pretty badly if you have a very good eye, you can see it from the video clip.

The next day, I was invited to see this drama by City Harvest Church. I went there because I promised Samantha I would go if she give me a massage. She did. So I went.

The drama is entertaining, pretty hilarious. By the way, after the drama, we ran into "Rain" and we managed to take some photos of him.

Samantha got the chance to shake his hand. Oh my god! Don't envy her girls, she deserves it.

After meeting "Rain", we went to Tampines to watch Yes Man.

The movie is funny as hell! I think Jim Carrey still got it. His comical skills still retains. A movie worth watching and laughing. Rating: 4/5.

And several days ago, Teng Da, Felix, David and I went to Malaysia along with the employees to promote Swaveboard. But I don't have the photos yet, so I will post them another day.

That's it for now. Oh, on a sidenote, today is a special day. *Winks*

Weekend Update

2008-12-23T15:01:00.007+08:00

Okay, weekend update as promised.

Friday
After work, went to Ngee Ann Polytechnic for Danzation. We went to support Evelyn and to surprise her as well. Well, one thing I know is she hugged Anges so long and she always gets the first hug. What the hell?! I queued up too.

But Danzation widens my knowledge towards Singapore Hip-Hop. As a die hard fan of Hip-Hop and African American culture, I'd say I am beginning to see pixels of light for local Hip-Hop. The show is awesome by the way.

I've randomly selected some from several hundreds that I have filtered from 1400+ of them...

After the show, we wanted to watch Ip Man, but due to an unforeseen circumstance and insufficient seats, it was postponed to Saturday. Instead, we went to eat steamboat for supper. It was mediocre. I wasn't even full at all! I can't believe they even don't have rice, it's essential!

So after supper, the group split up. Some went home whereas the others went for a joy ride. This joy ride is a little different from the previous I had. It was extremely fun. We visited place that I didn't know of or never think I would go. Seletar Air Base and Marina Barrage.

To ensure my presence was there, I left my "mark" at the Air Base. I peed on the runway. I saw my friend relieving himself at the drain and then suddenly I felt the urge to relieve myself too. He, being timid or polite, "prayed" before he peed in order not to offend the "buddies". So I thought, since that place could be dangerous, I shall do it openly. I will relieve myself at the runway as the chances of "buddies" laying around is slimmer. And I did it. Another fried dared me to pee in a straight line till the end of the runway...which I tried and I couldn't. I could only pee a quarter of its breath.

Here is the video in case anyone think that I am bullshitting:

Then, it's off to Marina Barrage. Along the way, two guy had to steer off course because the cap was loose then they drove off the highway just to close the cap. But that little action lead us to another comical moments.

There were 3 cars, 1 steered off course, so the one I was in and the other car pulled off at the road shoulder to wait for the other car to join us. As we pulled at the road shoulder, it looked like we had an accident with each other. So we faked it and played along. To keep it real, my friend acted as if he is writing down the car plate number and I acted like I am trying to defend my faults. After sometime, my friend "punch" me and I was getting a hell of a beating. I swear, every driver who drove by were either looking and staring at us. That's what most Singaporeans are, when they see someone fight, they watch. They don't do shit. Like they are afraid to be involved or some. Anyway, that was damn hilarious!

Shortly after, the other two rejoined us and we head towards Marina Barrage. It is a beautiful place.

So beautiful I had a close intimate moment with a friend.

Saturday
Finally, I got to watch Ip Man. But there were many problems simply just to watch the movie. Eventually, only Felix, Ken and I caught the movie.

The movie is fascinating! The fighting scene is mind blasting! It is blasting in my mind! It is my favourite martial art movie all time. I give it a 5/5. Period.

Sunday
Originally planned to go Malaysia for business purpose, but I don't feel well again. So the other few went ahead to oversee the operation.

So basically, I stayed at home and watched Good Luck Chuck and Transformer. I watched Transformer twice. Couldn't get enough of Megan Fox.

A'ight. That sums it up. It's 6! Time for my ball game!

Tagged Quiz

2008-12-22T17:23:00.000+08:00

Since my supervisor has a half day off, I shall take my own break and type a post.

I realised I have been "tagged" and it took me several days to figured out what "tagged" means. So as an act of fun and returning the favour, I shall attempt the quiz questions and since I am "tagged" twice, I will combine both sets of quiz. So here it goes:

I love Her.

21. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
I will bring my sorry ass to the hardware store, buy a blade and slit my wrist. Cry my heart out wondering why is this happening to me and then drown myself in alcohol to numb myself from the pain. And then I will probably be a little gloom for a few days and move on to my next target.

No. It is usually lust at first sight. Ladies...*Winks*

29. If you’re attached but you feel as if you like someone else, what would you do?
I would make sure the one I like feels the same way I do. Then, confrontation. It is pointless to be in a relationship that has no more feeling towards. Otherwise, I am fighting a losing battle.

30. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing the someone has done?
Normally, I wouldn't even remember. But on a horrible scale to 10, if you reach 8 and above, easier said than done. So depends. (No, I am not going to list my scale here.)

31. What do you want to say to the one you like?
I want to pour my chocolate rain on you.

32. If there is a choice between lover and friends, which will you choose?
Friends. Because there is a higher chance turning a friend into lover and hardly turning a lover to a friend.

Haha. Yes. When I love someone, it's true.

34. For the people who love and cares about you, say something to them:
Keep up the good work.

35. Pass this quiz to 10 people that you wish to know how they feel about:
Whoever read this and wants to attempt the questions or wants me to know more about you, by all means.

Part (B)

RULE #1 People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

RULE #2 Tag 5 people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

You can ignore Part (B), I don't stick to rules.

Wow! I didn't expect myself to spend almost 3 hours to finish this quiz. I will type my weekend update when I get home later.

2008-12-18T15:34:00.005+08:00

Decided to take a little break, so I am going to write a post.

I was feeling bored yesterday and didn't want to do any work at all. So I went to browse and see if there are any new movies to watch. And I found this......

...so I watched it. I've seen the interview and I found the movie interesting. Further, the word Porno attracts me, so all the more I should watch it. Halfway through, I got cut off because of my internet connection, so I went to sleep and it resulted me getting late for work. Really late.

I continued watching the rest in office. Man, it feels like really watching porn and I swear, I turned my head every 5 seconds. At least I finished the movie, but I am going to watch it again when I get home. I would recommend anyone to watch it for a decent laugh but it is R21, so maybe wait for the DVD.

A'ight, I better get my lazy bone ass to work before someone checks on me. *Guilty Peek*

Unforgettable Ride

2008-12-16T02:26:00.008+08:00

I just came back from a car ride. It was horrifying yet blood pumping. I never thought I could came back alive. Here is the irony, the driver actually drove pretty decent for an amateur. Keyword, amateur.

Now, here comes the part where I am going to get murdered......

.....

....

...

..

.

Yeah, that was me. And hey! Don't go quick and start judging me. I ain't the first...to drive without "permission". But still, I am guilty.

As for who that driver is, *Russell Peter Impersonation* "I'm not going to say who, but I think you might know him very well."

So, I guess some may probably have guessed it by now. If you don't, then let's keep the identity a secret.

In a way, I am proud but in another way, I am not. And to be honest, I actually love the feeling and getting the hang of it.

Weekly Update

2008-12-15T01:19:00.004+08:00

Since I couldn't get myself to sleep, I shall "update" myself to sleep.

Frankly speaking, I have been feeling grouchy and blue all week. Not Smurfs blue, but Monday blues blue. I guess it's mainly due to some of the insecurities and uncertainty that I am feeling right now. I don't have the energy to elaborate further but that's what I have been feeling lately.

In the end, I stayed home most of the time in the weekends. But at least I caught a movie...

It is a decent film. Invokes some thought after watching the movie, mainly about humanity. I will give it a 3/5.

I think I am going to lie on the bed now, let the music bring me to sleep.

Wei Zhe's Birthday Celebrations

2008-12-11T14:13:00.005+08:00

This post is fresh from the oven! Posting LIVE from Buona Vista, Ministry Of Education Building, Level 14, turn right, first corridor on the left.

Today is "Mushy Boy"'s birthday. Although short notice but we managed to get a small slice of cake for him.

Oh look at him, he feels so loved.

Then we took several group pictures. Man, feels like a family.

On a sidenote, Andrew bought another cake for our welfare supervisor, Edwin, who by the way is an awesomely kind person. We, the interns here really like him a lot a lot a lot. I will post more details about him in the future.

Anyway, earlier on Andrew startled Edwin by making a practical joke on him. So the cake were something like a "token of appreciation" and "apology".

Edwin is the one on the left, Andrew is on the right

Of course, not to forget taking a picture with ~~Mushy~~ "Birthday Boy".

Okay. The End. Oh yeah! Once again, wishing Wei Zhe happy birthday.

Reminiscing The Sumo House Days

2008-12-10T23:56:00.003+08:00

I wanted to post this up last night, but I was too tired so before I could type anything, I just lay on my bed till the next morning.

Anyway, I felt somewhat happy yesterday although I had a very bad sore throat because I found the "long lost" Sumo House at Clementi. I still remember during secondary school days I used to eat there at Bedok interchange almost everyday after school.

(I wasn't able to capture the signboard, so make do with the tissue, yeah?)

Those days that my classmates and I spent, the after school hours where we were happily eating it while "talking cock". One of the factor that attracts us the most is the price of the food, their set meals were relatively cheap, starting from $2.90 - $7.90.

Some of my favourites back then...

It could be been wonderful reminiscing if it wasn't for my SORE THROAT! I had so much trouble swallowing the rice that I don't have the luxury to really taste the food.

I will most definitely go back again.

Burning Sensation

2008-12-09T16:11:00.004+08:00

I have this burning sensation...

It tingles me. Sometimes pleasurable, sometimes unbearable till I want to explode in the mouth.

If only I can "unzip" myself and let it all out, I would gladly do so. Whenever you display your "dirty" side, my temperature raises and get "hot". With your presence deep inside me, your naked body is always making a move. Every move you make, my body tweaks and sometimes, so unbearable that I will turn "stiff".

Our times together are always so short. Because of you, I can't eat, can't drink nor even breathe. Although our relationship is on and off, but you never failed to return by my side...reminding my body that I should maintain the "good shape". I know someday you must go, rendering me "naked" again with "immunity".

But I had enough. So, I am going to ask you to leave, for I can't take the damages you done to me no more. Tears are running through my face as this burning sensation re-ignites.

And finally, this is what my last words to you are......

GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY LIFE! Sore throat...before I cut you up! Even if it means dying. Don't you try me, sacrificial will be required if necessary.

Dull And Long Weekend

2008-12-09T07:58:00.003+08:00

I have about 30 minutes before I officially begin my work, so I will blog about the past weekend.

Actually, the title is self-explanatory. I had a dull and long weekend. Why long? Because of Hari Raya Haji...which is a good thing because I get an extra day of rest. But it is the dull that I am upset about.

Saturday is all right because I met up with Wesley and Co. for lunch, a "farewell" to him before enlisting into NS. I think it was a little messed up as I am supposed to spend the entire day with him, but I ended up spending only half a day (Sorry, Wesley). Then, I went to this DVD sale and got some DVDs for me to get by the day. Not a big sale, but I found some "treasures".

Sunday is the beginning of my isolation and the day when things start to sank. The first thing I did in the morning was sneeze and after since, it never stopped. I almost flooded my room with my mucus and bacteria. It was tough. I couldn't do my work properly and in the end, I slept through the day with a meal skipped.

Then yesterday, I got better. Eventually, I lazed around. Bottom line is, I tried to isolate myself for two days in order to settle my work properly. EPIC FAIL!

What's worse is, I made a promise to myself that I should complete all my work by today. Now I am really upset with myself. While I was on the train, I couldn't help but kept upsetting myself.

That's it! This shall be the resolution for 2009. "Quit being a lazy ass!" But until 2009 is here, I can still be a lazy ass when opportunity comes.

*Hands On Hip, Looking Up, Eyes Closed* Ha..ha..ha..ha..ha..ha..ha..ha!

Update - Sick

2008-12-05T08:27:00.006+08:00

Minor update with what is going on...before this blog gets dusty.

I fell sick. Yeah, for those who thinks this "energizer" would never say die, it did. I spent the past 2 days on my bed. I don't know if it is the sickness or is it when you are weak, you tend have the feeling that "the glass is half empty".

Got a little frustrated with myself because I have a lot of work piling up. Fortunately, it is going to be a long weekend and hopefully I am able to complete all the work.

It's 8.30. Time to stop goofing around and start work.

Noise Repulsion

2008-11-30T23:48:00.001+08:00

I never knew I will ever have a repulsion against noise until I went to Sitex on Saturday. I don't hate noise, in fact, people see me as the loudest and noisiest person among whichever group I am in. But the crowd beat me.

It was so crowded that after merely an hour, I started to have dizziness and felt a little breathless. The past 3 events are held in the Convention Hall and there are several levels. Therefore, even if there are a massive crowd, it wouldn't be very bad because the crowds are even out. But if you put all the crowds in a huge hall on a single level, it is catastrophic.

It is my first time to Sitex and I am so lucky I got out alive! My intention is to get my shit and get out. At least, I managed to get my Hard Disk. Woo Hoo!

Paycheck!

2008-11-27T10:33:00.009+08:00

Finally! After a near 2 long months of waiting, I received my first paycheck since 2006. Man, how did I get through these 2 years?! I could really use this money right now to buy something. Oh snap! Now everybody knows I got my paycheck and is going to demand for meals and repaying my debts to them.

Erm...*Hypnotize*

You did not see anything, you don't remember the existence of this post......Wooo...Haaaa...Hehh. Alvin has nothing on him......Alvin is good-looking......You wanna hang out with Alvin......You wanna share your wealth with Alvin......When you finished reading this, you shall act upon my words.

*Snap*

Milly & Jade's Birthday Celebration

2008-11-25T01:33:00.010+08:00

Finally got the photos and videos, so I will start recounting the event. It will be a more dynamic post than a static because this post will consist many videos with maybe several photos along the way. I shall leave a few captions and leave the rest be self-explanatory. Oh, and turn up the speaker a little because some voices can be a little soft.

While some of us were preparing, in the rain...this is how it all started:

And then...the march to...HELL.
(This video is 15 minutes long, skip the first 4 - 5 minutes as it may bore you, but my advise is to watch it from the beginning till the end.)

And then, while I was happily enjoying my dip, an evil girl had to "throw her old shoe":

And then, a major conspiracy to throw David down the pool that requires several man, he is...a tough guy.

Many moments later, we have a competition. Felix v.s Anges for the 'Best Swimmer' title.

Then...time for the birthday song! But somehow, it turned into a wedding enchantment.

Finally, it's speech time where we get to hear the good, the bad, the hot and the not.

After the touching and tearing speech, almost half of the group have already went home and the rest gathered around telling ghost stories, but I guess most people were tired, so many were yawning away (How rude, haiz...).

Then, all went to my crib to bath or to wait for their parents to come fetch them. We played a little Mahjong in between to kill sometime. Only Teng Da, Felix, Sebastian, Hui Lin, David, Ken, Sky remained. Initially, we wanted to go Simpang and eat, but most people are tired so we stayed home and cooked some food. Had a little bonding time.

Next morning, only a few people were left. Teng Da, Felix, Sebastian and Hui Lin left shortly after sunrise. I woke up thinking to myself that everyone else left. But David, Ken and Sky were still around and sound asleep. I woke up and found Ken and Sky is awake except for David, who is still sleeping...on the floor. Realized we have been prank by a certain someone (Hui Lin), we decided to bring the prank to another level to an unfortunate victim...David.

Below is the actual footage of the crime scene:

Not satisfied? No worries, neither are we. So here comes Part II:

Poor David couldn't do anything except receiving the "punishment". He wouldn't have discovered it if it wasn't for me to tell him to go wash up.

Before I end this post, I will post a couple of candid shots that I took to irritate the shit out of people.

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Use your sense of humour and view the above photos candidly. XD

Feeling Lousy

2008-11-21T19:49:00.000+08:00

Felt lousy the entire day, probably because I woke up at the wrong side of the bed. Oh wait...I didn't sleep on a bed last night, so how could that be? Geez! Look at me, I'm beginning to "break down".

Things weren't going smoothly for me recently, they are simply trival matters. But if you add them together, it can upset anyone a little. I was able to hold it down until a news came "swooping off my feet" this afternoon. I am not going to disclose it as it involves sensitive issues. Although I am open about it, but I have to take care of the other parties involved as well.

While I was interning today, I didn't have much motivation to do anything due to fatigue and this. So I watched Russell Peter's new show and his clips to trying to get my mood back. It worked......temporarily.

I think what I need now is a lot of comedy, some food, assuring smiles, joyful events and some sleep.

Now, I am going to get some food while watching Friends and then get some sleep.

I Can't Believe That Daily Horoscope Can Be Accurate At Times

2008-11-19T10:28:00.006+08:00

I was reading the horoscope column on My Paper this morning on the train and I came across this.

处女座
"月底财务容易出现状况, 比如公司延迟发工资或遗失财物, 不过都是暂时的问题."

Translating to English...it means, "At the end of the month, my financial status will have problems easily. Examples of such would be company delays your paycheck or losing something valuable, but it is temporary."

Praise the lord! This is so true! My paycheck is late! And I am indeed having financial problem! Wow...this is a rare sight. I never would have thought the daily horoscope would be capable of predicting something so accurately.

Weekend Rewind

2008-11-17T23:39:00.007+08:00

Howdy! Time for weekend rewind.

Friday
Nothing much happened on Friday, woke up early, went to work. Knock off, go home, supervise training for Swaveboard.

Saturday
Woke up early in the morning and got down to Big Splash. There is an event, Flea-A-Lot, not sure if anyone knew of it at all. We rented a space to sell our boards, just trying our luck. So, I went down with Teng Da. The minute we saw the actual space that were given to us, we were stunned. The allocated space is so small that it wouldn't fit for a study table for my kids...if I have one. So we discussed if we should abandon it. I said we should give it a try. So he dropped off the boards with me and he left (because he had elsewhere to go).

So I was left alone...setting up the mini space and the weather doesn't look too good. And sure enough, it rained after 20 minutes. I immediately gathered everything and went to the shelter.

I got so bored, I snapped a few shots.

About 45 minutes later, it stopped. Everyone went back to their space and resumed setting up.

Charmaine, Jade & Angeline turned up shortly after and although I know them briefly. We seemed to hit it off quite well, I made that assumption because they can't stop commenting on my "Chicken Head".

Then at afternoon, it got so damn hot, my skin began to burn and changed colour. The human traffic was so-so. So out of boredom, I took somemore shots.

If your eyes are sharp enough, you will probably see how big the space were.

Due to an unfortunate event and low human traffic, I closed down the space early and left for the hospital.

Things here on are nothing to shout about, so I will end here for that day.

Sunday
Went to Wesley's crib for his little gathering party. He is soon to be enlisted to NS. So we probably won't be seeing him so often. Anyway, we had a little fun, chilling out and trash talking.

One incident that surprised most of us were that he was told by his girlfriend he is getting an Audi TT for his birthday present. When we first heard that, we were like "WHAT THE FUCK?!" Audi TT?! Are you shitting me?" With much anticipation, we looked forward to the car and then we realized it was a car...made of cardboxes. =.=!!

I was quite certain Wesley felt disappointed at that moment, but given the amount of effort his friends did, he gladly accepted it.

Today
Half-day at work! Kudos to that. Because it's half day, I finally managed to collect my voucher that I won the other day playing that Wii game. I came in 3rd, so I received a $40 voucher.

And something unfortunate to me which could be amusing to you happened after I got off from work today. While my colleagues and I were walking towards the MRT station, we saw a car travelling at 80 - 90KM/h...and before we could react, a tiny tidal wave came splashing towards us. There were nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Damn! If that car were to only slowed down for another second, I will have seen his license plate number. CURSES!!!!

Okay, once again, another long post with good reading material and quality content. I hope you have enjoyed your stay here and may your exit be a pleasant one. Thank you!

Mega Big Mac

2008-11-13T23:53:00.002+08:00

Finally, I get to eat McDonald and fulfil my desire for Mega Big Mac.

Oh, simply by looking, you will go drooling...

After I had my fill, I don't think I am going to have it again for a short period...because it's really filling and it is not that different from regular Big Mac.

That could very well be the last filling meal I can have in this month. Time to take my brokeass to bed.
