Hmm...

Dunno what title to put. First day at Citibank. Hehe... Saw that Benjamin from Blk 22 is actually just a few metres away from me. Different teams though. Perm job? NOLAH. Just do for a short duration while I continue job-hunting. The only good thing about this current job is that it's SO near home hahaha. Other than that, there's no other thing that interests me. =/

Oh I just watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine last Friday with those Ex-DSO colleagues at Iluma. Nice! Hmm but the only fascinating part was when Wolverine and Sabretooth were fighting Weapon XI. Other than that, nothing much really. And do stay till the end of the show for some more extras! But don't come and complain to me if you think I wasted your time hahaha!

Better Update More, Otherwise More People Fall Asleep

The weather is freaking hot these days. Or otherwise it'll pour unexpectedly. Crazy sia. Right now my room feels like a sauna.

6th May 2009, Wednesday

Charles jioed several of us for a drinking session at Ice Cold Beer. Wow 8 people turned up. Quite unexpected to see such a big turn-out even though it's just a normal Wednesday night. There was Chester, ZM, Wilson, JJ, ZC, MQ, Charles and me. The place fullhouse sia. And we only managed to get a row of seats at the bar counter. We got two bottles of Heineken each at $12 for 2. The bartender so funny...need to place all the bottles in one row as seen from the picture. Then in one quick motion, removed the cap for all the bottles. Quite interesting lah, but he took so much time to place the bottles nicely in one straight row. *faint* We left quite early cos everyone needed to work the next day, except me zzz.

Tioman = Redang - 2

Yeah just back from a trip to Tioman Island. Tired man... The traveling took about 24hrs to and fro. WTF!

1st May 2009, Friday (Labour Day)

I didn't sleep the whole night, cos I had to wake up at 4+am anyway. Therefore I stayed up to play game until it was time to go. Went to grab a cab and picked up Peiyi, Nicholas and Peyyong, then we proceeded to Golden Mile to meet up with the rest of the people.

Our coach was scheduled to leave at 6am, but then eventually it left at 6:30am. So we then took the coach all the way to Mersing, and then a ferry which took two hours or so to reach Tioman Island. It was a different experience from the time I reached the shores of Redang Island. The scenery and the waters pale in comparison to that of Redang. Disappointed >_< but then no use comparing lah. Just enjoy a good time with friends, that's good enough. I shall update on my travel blog instead. Stay tuned!

Updates 102

Lazy to update wahahha. But here goes...

4th April 2009, Saturday

Went to Andy/Ah Liang's place at Hougang for BBQ. It's also a celebration for Andy and Jason's birthday. Quite a lotta people turned up. And as usual, we "sang" the crappy Blk 22 birthday song, if you call it a song, that is.

5th April 2009, Sunday

Went for Japanese lessons as usual. Then Jiahao and I went to check out the newly-opened Iluma just next to our building. Fwah the air-con damn powderful. And the interior is very nicely furnished. Plenty of new shops that we haven't heard of before. And there's cinema there too. It's Filmgarde, same as the one at Leisure Park Kallang. The arcade machines in the arcade were all awesome sia. All flatscreen monitors! With a few old ones though. But all the new machines are all new games. Gotta check out Iluma if you haven't. But most of the shops aren't opened yet. But at least 50% of them are already operational. How fast. Check it out!

1/2 ECPCN Cycling

March 21st 2009, 8:45a.m.: (In a deep Rorschach-like voice) It was a dark, gloomy morning. Wait a min.... Back to reality. Rorschach rox lol!

Anyway It was a bright and clear day. VERY GOOD for cycling. I met up with Yaokun, Siying and Peiyi at the Food Centre at ECP. DIAO all the stalls were closed except for a few sellings drinks only. Too bad, no breakfast for me. The rest of them bought breakfast along to eat, luckily. So we proceeded to get their bikes, which was at a rate of $8 for 3 hours. Those normal cheapo mountain bikes without suspension. So then we started out on our trip towards Changi Village. Pretty easy cycling because it was long and straight road towards Coastal Park Connector. This was actually the first time I used the "newly-constructed" ECPCN to cycle from ECP to Changi. The last time I did so was with my cycling gang about 10 years ago. Back then there wasn't any concrete paths for us to cycle smoothly along the Changi Airport runway area. Instead, you either cycle on the road, or I think there was a pavement, or you cycle inside a dirt-track, which would be muddy if it rained previously. Now there is the convenience of going from Changi to ECP or vice versa easily thru the ECPCN. Cool man.

We reached Changi Village after a two-hour cycling trip from ECP. By then the super famous and popular nasi lemak stall was already packed with a long queue of hungry customers. Walau! Since we were so early, we decided to try out the so-called best nasi lemak stall at Changi Village. Took about 40 mins of queueing before we finally got to have our plate of nasi lemak, which was consumed within a fraction of the time spent on queueing. Nothing much really. The chicken wing is much better than the other stalls around, but other than that, nothing fantastic. But still it was quite a nice meal. We then went to relax at the Changi Beach area after a hearty meal.

We decided not to take the actual route but backtrack our way back to ECP because it seems that we did not have enough time to reach ECP before their 6-hour bike renting period is up. So we made our way back the same route and even took a 30 mins break sitting at one of the shelters at the far end of ECP. And then it's all the way back to the bike stall. And now my arms are still aching, butt still hurting, from all that bike-jerking and stuff. But it's nice to do something so strenuous once in a while eh?

Hehe finally carried out my ECPCN Cycling plan. But then, it wasn't the actual whole ECPCN route. NEXT TIME shall conquer the real ECPCN!

Interesting Videos to Share

By now everyone should know how Manchester United were thrashed 4-1 by Liverpool on Old Trafford. The match was simply amazing. With many wonderful goals, plenty of drama before, during and after the match. Too bad I only managed to catch the last 30 mins of the game. But here's a video of the highlights of the game, plus another one fanzone video which is so freaking funny.

The commentator is freaking funny too with his super long "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!"



The Fanzone commentators are hilarious!

Crazy Weather

One day it's hot like oven, next day cold as ice. That's what's happening these few days. Everyone please take care. Very easy to fall sick. ZZzz...

7th March 2009, Saturday

Met up with Alan to go to the career fair at Suntec. Naizhu fly us aeroplane two times in a day! Supposed to meet in the morning but he said he couldn't join us. Therefore I planned some activities for us at night instead. So we decided to meet in the evening, but NZ said he join us for dinner instead. Diao!!! So ended up only Alan and me walked around the fair. Actually I already know that there isn't much to see at the fair, but at least just walking around there isn't really a big deal. We then met up with NZ at Marina Square for dinner. Then we met up with the rest of the people at GV to watch The Watchmen. Kaiwei, Hock Seng, Kim, Nana, Eng Tat were the few who joined us for movies.

Hmm heard lots of negative reviews from many people. What the heck. Just watch loh. Quite draggy at the beginning. But as the momentum builds up it's quite a graphics feast. And plenty of action involving sex, lots of violence and blood. Not your usual superhero movie. Not recommended for those weak at heart. Really. Plenty of gory scenes. Still... something worth watching. 2 hours 42 mins. Worth it or not is up to the individual.

Next I went to join Charles, Junie and Wilson at St. James. Diaooozz... Charles told me that Junie jio clubbing, and Wilson already onz. And THOSE were the only people present. Hahahah! WTH. We went to Boiler Room. Jason was there with his colleagues too and he joined us for a while.The Ah-Gua performed as usual and then every now and then got singers and dancers on the stage performing all the latest hits.

It was retro night too with plenty of retro hits like Mambo at Zouk. Kinda fun. Plenty of babes around too. o_O Too bad many of the block people didn't turn up. The more people the more fun it is. 想当年 we used to have up to 20 people turning up at Mambo at Zouk. So fun were those days. Now all dunno 死去那里了 zzz...
