When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Gets Going

One asshole to spoil the day, or maybe two. The Hongkee is fine, but a bit pesky. This one is still ok. The Ahneh... Walau see his twisted face and fker attitude, makes me wanna give him a headshot. But I dun wanna spoil my homepage with such rotten people though. Just that I wanna keep a record of the shitty things I encounter.

And now for the good stuff! I saw the girl again! Haven't seen her for a long time. And this time with a shorter hairdo, which makes her look younger and cuter! Woohoo. We were having a fire drill and there she was standing not too far away from me. When will I have the chance to know her? Maybe she's unavailable anymore... But let's keep our hopes high!

And then I heard the voice of a sweet lady at the other end of the line. Brightens up a hazy, gloomy and shitty day. Why is it all the girls makes my day whereas the guys are the fkers? Should I be a bigger fker then? Wahaha! But then that's just not me. Just don't try to step over my head you morons!

Ok complain finished. It's mid-week Wednesday! I haven't looked forward to the weekend for a long time. This time I really hope weekend comes faster.

Let's March into March!

It's already 7th of March loh! Lazy to update recently. Hahaha. Jap lessons getting more demanding sia. Information overload! 頑張ろう！

6th March 2010, Saturday

Was slacking at home and trying to stay away from the freaking hot weather. But suddenly Ah Hock jioed me to take pix with him. So we met at city area and then decided to go to Fort Canning for some shooting spree. Tried his powderful lens for a while. Damn heavy sia, but the bokeh effects were awesome. We then shot around Clarke Quay too. Wanted to watch movies but all good seats were sold out, so we had dinner and went home. Duh... need to book tix earlier next time lol.
28th February 2010, Sunday

Met up with GIP people. This time there were Kim, Nana, Alan, HS, NZ, ET, WY, KW and me. We went to try the which is quite far off from the rest of the steamboat restaurants. Quite good interiors, and special grilling on paper, as well as the normal steamboat. It's $17.80 flat. Quite good. The food variety is quite standard. Not too bad. I wouldn't wanna squeeze with the crowd at the Liang Seah street side. Not too much of a gathering, more like a steamboat dinner that's all. Nvm we'll have more meet-ups soon.

Give That Man A Tiger!

Nolah not advertising for Tiger beer. But it's the 9th day of the Lunar New Year of the Tiger already. February is ending soon! OMG time flies so quickly it's kinda scary huh? Shall just do a short update. This time it's in reverse chronological order cos got too many days to update lol.

Today went to class as usual, then went to Ah-ma's house at Serangoon to visit her and little Keagan with Siying, Peyyong and Yaokun. It's MKG's very first baby! So cute huh?

Most of the time we can only see Keagan with his eyes half-closed. Seems to be sleeping all day long lol. We'll be waiting for his 满月 celebration party very soon lol.

20th February 2010, Saturday

There was this Dating Fiesta thingy held at Suntec for all singles to attend. Haha dun paiseh lah! Just go see see! Wanted to join the Duck Tour thingy but freaking hell had to wait for someone's reply until the registration period was over. You owe me a Duck Tour! Hahaha! Well anyway I went with NZ instead. I set some friends there too haha. Nothing spectacular, as expected. But Paige Chua was there as ambassador or something. And omg she is really pretty. Her nose is so high sia. Very sharp features. The two of us merely sat and listened to a talk by one of those companies' bosses as well as some beauty queens. Kinda boring. We then went to chill at Gloria Jean's and played pool at Marina Square. Then went to have dinner at Fish and Co. at Suntec.

Next up we checked out the Chingay procession right at the Singapore Flyer. Wah it must be my first time viewing the Chingay live. Saw plenty of interesting costumes, including cosplayers with some doing Monkey D. Luffy, Kakashi, Tenten, Cloud Strife and many more. There were storm troopers and Darth Maul and Darth Vader. And for the first time, Resorts World Singapore was there with their Universal Studios characters. Cool man. Can't wait to go Universal Studios for the actual thing.

Next we made our way to Clarke Quay and NZ went home. I then met up with Charles, JJ, ZM, Jason, as well as a Nepalese, who is Charles' colleague at Four Seasons. We had a chill-out session at the Highlander. After that we had Beef Kway Teow at Geylang. Met Davin there too, so qiao. We then had a little Geylang 101, just to bring the Nepalese to sightsee lol. Argh talk about food makes me hungry already!

19th February 2010, Friday

After work, I went to Huimin's house where the 8 of us MKGians had a steamboat dinner gathering. HY, YK, SY, Peyy, PY, HM, Albert and me had a great time BBQing and steamboating. (Walau enough food-talking already!) Then we also played Wii-fit. My first time trying out. So cool sia! I WANNA GET A WII!! But hor right now my body is aching. Didn't do any warm up exercises hahaha. But it was a shiok gathering with food, drinks and games. ROX!

15th February 2010, Monday

It's been a long time since me and my family went out for an outing like this. So since it's a 初二, and we've got nothing to do cos there's no need to 拜年 this year, we went to check out the Resorts World at Sentosa as well as the casinos and Universal Studios (outside only). Plenty of tourists swarming around the place. We could hardly move around. Looks like it's gonna be a big hit for tourists and Singaporeans alike when all the IRs are fully open.

(to be updated)

13th February 2010, Saturday

And it's a Chinese New Year gathering. We had a buffet dinner at York Hotel with Sam Yee's family. Great food and great gathering.

And after dinner, we went to Sam Yee's house for a while before heading back to Tampines. And then we went to take a walk at the place selling CNY flowers near our area. Most of the nice plants and flowers were snapped up by then. But there are still many beautiful plants and flowers around. So I got trigger-happy. Even Cindy also kept shooting with my DSLR lol.

And then back at our void deck, we saw many cats roaming around. They must be having a gathering to usher in the Lunar New Year proudly, cos it's their cousin's big year. There were at least 3 cats around our void deck. There's this fat one lying on the boot of a car. It didn't even try to move away when we got closer to take pictures of it. It even started cleaning itself and stretching and posing for me to take pictures hahaha. What a big fat cat.
12th February 2010, Friday

Went to Partyworld at Liang Court with Aar, Cha, Jus, Eil, Rac. It's been quite a while since we last sang. And of course, it's to relak relak and unwind ourselves cos it's a long weekend! 4 days of break. Damn shiokz. Didn't get to sing my best cos got a bit of cough. Damn sucky. Was coughing for quite a while during the 2 weeks before and after CNY. -_-

Last Day of Jan 2010

Wow so fast one month is gone for the year 2010. How time rockets. It's another new month tomorrow with plenty of things to look forward to. Well maybe just CNY cos no V Day to celebrate ahahaha. Just back from a dinner gathering to celebrate Peiyi's 29th birthday. Ya it's our last 20s already. I went on a haircut + clothing shopping spree at Bugis Junction after my lesson. Spent a bomb today sia. After that I went to Marina Square to meet MKG. We had dinner at ThaiExpress and then went to play those UFO catcher games at level 2. Haha for once I tried the Ben & Jerry's game and got an ice-cream! Seems easy enough. Next time want $1 B&J ice-creams can go there to try my luck/skill again hahah! Yaokun got a cookie monster cushion with built-in massager! It's those $2 games whereby you need to slot a 50-cent sized thingy into a hole roughly the same size but just a bit bigger. He got it on the 3rd try! Nice one hahaha.

Oh forgot to post this video of the guild unXplained bowling so here it is:

Updates

Been quite tired and kinda lazy to update. So let's make it a short one.

15th January 2010, Friday

After work, Eileen, Aaron and I went to Novena Square 2 to play Guitar Hero! It's my first time playing sia hahahaha! There was this place at NS2 for people to play consoles like Xbox or Wii etc. Had to sign up for lifetime membership of $10. Then we get to play console games at $6/hr. We played Guitar Hero and it was like not very interesting songs at all. We hear the other group of people playing Rock Band with plenty of interesting songs. So we decided that we should play Rock Band the next time we go there. The layout of the consoles and seats were kinda stupid because there wasn't any sound separation between groups of people. Therefore we could hear other peoples' games as well. Super noisy sia. We could only manage to get a 9-10pm slot, after which they will close for the day. So it was just a one-hour of gameplay. We then went to pick up Charles and then went for dinner/supper at one of the Cha Chan Ting in Siglap to end the day.

16th January 2010, Saturday

It was to be a surprise birthday party for Eileen. All of us waited in one of the party rooms at the Kallang Mac. Initially Eileen thought we were going for high-tea at Conrad, but after some careful planning/scheming from Justina and Ronnie, we managed to surprise her with a surprise birthday party. We played some boliao games meant for kids and then had Happy Meals just like little kids. Lol I've never celebrated any birthdays at MacDonald's before, so it was kinda interesting. Luckily I volunteered to be the photographer and therefore escaped playing those silly games. I also took a short video of the whole celebrations, therefore decided to make a short clip and post it on YouTube.

After the celebration, Father came to pick me up and we went to the Irodori Japanese Restaurant at River View Hotel for Cindy's 21st birthday celebration with a spread of Japanese ala carte buffet. The variety was the standard ones you find in all Japanese restaurants. Food was quite nice and service was also good.

After a scrumptious meal of Japanese cuisine, I joined KMS, Zhangjing and Yipeng at Holland Village for a drinking session. It's the long awaited drinking session that ZJ was looking forward to since last year. It was also my first time going to Holland V at night for a drinking session lol. We ended up at Breko with their beer promotion of $12 for 2 bottles. 3 bottles each. ZJ had dinner there.

Looks like a lot of beer right? Dun be fooled by the chili and ketchup bottles hahah!

Then we went for a quick meal at the nearby kopitiam. ZJ had another meal of chicken chop there!

What makes ZJ more happy than having an awesome meal?

KMS wonders why ZJ can eat so much.

KMS suggested taking this pic. I wonder what they do on this street every night.

Next we went to another pub for another round of drinks. This time ZJ ordered his flaming lamborghini. Feeling that it's not enough, he ordered another! YP and KMS also ordered one each. I gave it a miss cos I needed to go for lessons the next morning hahaha.

If I posted a larger picture above, you can see ZJ's face full of sweat kekeke.

17th January 2010, Sunday

After my Japanese lessons, which now start from 2pm to 4:10pm, Jiahao and I roamed around Bugis before we proceeded to Hotel Rendezvous for Yee Ket's wedding dinner. Kai Hock was their photographer. We saw Jack Neo, who was somehow related to Yee Ket lol. Met up with the old colleagues over at DSO.

18th January 2010, Monday

Mummy received a call before 6am from 2nd Auntie from Malaysia, telling us that Grandma (Ma-ma) has passed away. Got Mummy all flustered and panicking. After that we all woke up and got ready to take urgent leave to go to Mentakab, Pahang, Malaysia to do all the funeral processions. Had to take a 4-day urgent leave. We drove all the way in and luckily got cousin Ah Wah who drove much of the distance back, we reached at 9pm or so. Over the next few days, it was plenty of funeral stuff. First time I had to do such things, following the Taoist priest do all kinds of rituals. I feel it's rather stupid but too bad it was for Ma-ma, so I just did as told. Father was the eldest son and I was the eldest grandson, therefore much of the responsibility was given to us to do most of the things. -_- Finally when everything was over, all of us were pretty exhausted. Oh well... hope Ma-ma is finally happily on her way to paradise.

Welcome to 2010!

It's a new decade and plenty of things to look forward to. Been gone for one week for a trip to Macau and Hong Kong. Woohoo finally went there. That completes another two of my must-go destinations. Been slacking for these two days cos was too tired after the trip. Laze and nua at home. And so now here's a recap of what's happened so far.

29th December 2009, Tuesday

It's Justina's birthday on the next day, so we celebrated her birthday for her. And since we were going to Sharon's wedding dinner later on in the night, I brought my DSLR along to office and thus I get to play around with it by taking loads of pix during the celebration.

Later on at night, we went down to Pan Pacific Hotel for Sharon and Erwin's wedding dinner. What a day. Another MKGian down, few more to go.

31st December 2009, Thursday

It's New Year's Eve! The last day of the decade! Brought my DSLR along to work since I'll be taking fireworks pix later on at night. It's also Faye's birthday celebration too since her birthday is on the 2nd of Jan. They weren't too keen to take any pix, so I just anyhow snapped a pic or two.

Later on, I went to meet up with Ron, kireichan, yang and An at Kallang MRT station. Yang had came to Singapore earlier on and went to meet us for this "guild outing". We then took the shuttle bus to Leisure Park Kallang. It's been a long time since I went there. Not much difference and still very few people there. We had dinner at KFC and then proceeded to play bowling. The rates were different for this NYE. It was $30/hr for a lane. We playedfor 2 hours. Edwin joined us just as we were starting our games. Throughout the games we witnessed more and more faults with this bowling alley. Firstly, the pins will drop from the top of the machinery and smash the already neatly-placed new pins. And sometimes one or two pins would go missing from a new rerack. And then the LCD monitor started turning black. WTH! What a shitty bowling alley. And it was supposed to be quite new. And then sometimes after the first ball was thrown, the score wasn't registered! The pins had to be reracked. Wow I'm never going back there to play again. Claire joined us for a while, just to watch us play bowling. Then she and I logged onto MSN using our iPhones and chatted with Moomei simultaneously. It was kinda funny chatting with crappy Moomei.

Guild unXplained NYE Bowling 2009!

Took a pic with Moojie aka Claire too lol.

So then we finished our bowling and then it was left with Ron, kireichan, yang and me. We went to kireichan's office at Shaw Tower to wait for the New Year fireworks display. There were already several other groups of her colleagues and their friends in the office when we reached there.

1st January 2010, Friday

We then waited for the stroke of midnight and then witnessed the world turned one year older and entered a new decade with a wonderful display of pyrotechnics from floating platform area right next to the Esplanade. We had a superb view of the fireworks. Too bad I didn't bring my tripod and therefore couldn't take good pix of the fireworks. After about 8 or 9 mins of non-stop fireworks, it all ended and so we then rushed to the MRT to grab our trains back home.

The picturesque view of the celebrations area from 34th floor of Shaw Tower.

The best fireworks pic without using a tripod.
