Met up w adel for dinner and movie last nite at vivo.
she wanted to get a mani/pedi done so i tot since i haven't had mine done in quite a few months,
might as well get mine coz i have to wait for her anyway.
boy did we have to wait. our appt was abt 6.45 but we were early, so we grabbed a quick yoshinoya dinner. and good thing we ate den too coz our mani/pedi ended ard 8.35pm - 5 mins b4 the show was to start. but of coz we all know gv movies NEVER start at the indicated time. so we were still in time for the show. caught 'yes man'.
interesting concept to opening up to saying yes to oppotunities. but other than dat, the show was juz average i think. it wasn't as funny as the trailers had made it out to be.
anyhoo... back to the mani/pedi... i felt so good sitting in the chair and getting my nails done.
sorry if i sound kinda gay here... but it always feels good getting ur nails cleaned up and the ingrown trimmed off. and have buffed n shined nails as an end result.
nice, clean, shiny nails.
i think steph will know... i still can remember the first time she saw my pedicured toes.
coz we were playing mj and she, tress n justin looked under the table n could see the shine in my toenails. and they were OMG!
kekekeke...
it's been a busy week this week... not having stepped into the office until thur morning.
and it was only for the morning. but fri was a boring day as well, with nothing to do all day for 8hrs. but it's gona b a nice chill, laidback weekend.
gona get my hair cut for xmas today... and hopefully order something for the xmas potluck at john's on the 28th. and mayb spend dat $150 raoul voucher and $30 taka voucher. well... gota scoot now.
take care y'all and have a great weekend.

Animals, Queens and Snow
Went to watch wild rice's snow white on tue nite.
and boy am i glad i managed to convince ppl to watch it w me...
it was simply hilarious! i felt the show din have a good start, but it definitely picked up as it went on.
and when sebastian made his appearance, there was no stopping him.
but celine rosa tan was fantastic as the magic mirror and nanny.
her v singlish accent for nanny was perfect.
kudos to the wild rice crew for getting elena wang to play snow white.
not only was she pretty, she sang v well too.
the other supporting casts weren't too bad themselves.
i esp laughed myself silly at the beginning part of the show where one pageant contestant requested for an interpreter. i'm not gona give too much away.
watch it and find out for yourself....
next show is gona b CATS in april. trying to get at least 10 ppl.
anyone interested?

From Swedish Meatballs In An English Pub To Grilled Meats To Playing In A Band To Jap Buffet To More Band To An Immobile Left Hand
It has been a most busy weekend.
thursday post work hours were spent at 'The Old Brown Shoe' with jarrod n michelle.
the shoe is opened by one of jarrod's colleague in rj.
nice little pub w a nice english feel to it, except dat the music's not too englishy.
started w a half pint of guiness. quite alrite... still not a fan of stout.
den came the food we ordered... good stuff i tell u.
we had their fish n chips, pork sausages, swedish meatballs, their shoe burger and scotch egg.
i think dat was it.
the fish was fantastic - the batter was crispy and the fish was soft.
the swedish meatballs were shiokness - even better than the ones u get from ikea.
there's even mushrooms in the sauce.
the burger was good and filling.
but the egg was a little cold, but still not too bad.
apparently, every wed nite is pub quiz nite where everyone pays a little fee of say $5 to form a huge pot. and the winning team takes it all.
jarrod says he has a group of colleagues, among which is jamie reeves, wins the quiz every time.
after dat, michelle had to go home so jarrod came over to my place to play guitar hero world tour.
we played for a while den he left.
friday nite was spent having dinner w the friday gang of tress, apu, stefette and justin.
adel joined us as well... dinner was at grill-out@ sunset. still quite the same as the last time i went w the churchies.
food not bad, but service still not dat good.
after dinner, we all went to my place to world tour some more...
played for abt 2 hrs, den we changed to mj.
played till 4am i think... and i din win or lose. BAH!
sat was dinner at ikoi@ miramar hotel. we were celebrating jacq's and alex's birthdays.
but b4 we left for dinner, ben, jacq, mark n fel came over to world tour a little coz no one was doing anything from 5-ish till dinner time@8pm.
dinner was a ala carte buffet, so we juz had the food coming - sashimi, tempura, saba, shishamo, chawanmushi, handrolls,
more tempura, more sashimi.
the food was fantastic... and we kept getting complimentary food from the chef.
oh.. i almost forgot abt the most fantastic birthday rice cake the restaurant made for the birthday girls.
it was juz rice covered in roe at the sides. simple but good.
and after dinner, it was more world tour but not at my place.
it was at ewen's but it meant i had to disconnect my xbox and pack up the drums.
took us 1/2hr to pack everything get to ewen's place but it was all good when we had everything set up and ready to go.
played till abt 2plus, 3am and pack everything back.
we needed abt 3 ppl to carry everything. 2 guys to carry the box which the drums is packed in.
along w the guitars slung behind. and 1 more person to carry the console.
woke up today w a strained left thumb. can hardly move it. and the area near the wrist to the base of the thumb was slightly swollen.
so i went to see the doc for meds.
need to work tom lor. cannot afford to take mc. well... not for the next couple of the weeks at least.
going out for dinner later w the family. eugene's bday tom.
and den it's poker at john's after i drive everyone home!
i wana win money to pay for my chips! HUAT AH!!
havent got any pics for any of the nites... waiting for ppl to load n tag...
so check out fb for peektures k?

I speaketh no Tagalog but I can ROAR!
It's been 5 days since arriving on monday.
the first few days were busy, with my day starting ard 7.30 and ending only ard 7.30.
staying at batangas country club.
sounds nice but it's damn ulu. there's nothing ard.
so no nights out to a bar and dat kind of thing after work.
dinner is usually at the resort's cafe.
but we ended slightly earlier last nite. was back at the hotel before 7pm.
so bruno (colleague i'm here w) and i went out for dinner.
dinner was at batangas largest mall - SM City Mall.
but it still pales in comparison w wad we've got in sg...
and when i reached there, i realized i've been there b4 last year when i was working in batangas with my prev company.
so dropped by dickies and bought a couple more berms.
and thank god, i had some "education" from apu.
coz them americans and i guess filipinos dun call them berms. they're called shorts.
so when i went into the store and asked to see the berms, the staff had dat blur look.
quick thinking me, asked to see the shorts and there they were - them berms.
and my waist has expanded. DAMN!
cannot fit into the size 30 ones... finally bought size 32 berms.
after dinner, bruno n i went to a couple of nearby bars for beers.
first one was juz outside the mall. so we went in n sat down. after a beer and a couple of songs by the live band,
we went on to another bar abt 3mins away.
there was also a live band there. the band was much younger and not as good as the earlier one.
after another round of beers, we left the place, looking for another bar w a live band.
but there was none.
so we hopped onto a tricycle which is basically a motorbike w a sidecar, and told the driver to bring us to a bar w a live band.
the guy brought us to this part of town which had a couple of bars ard. we went into tavern queen.
coz dat was the only one w a live band or at least we could see they had a band. another round of drinks and a much better band to listen to.
once dat's all done, we headed back to the hotel.
today din start out good - it was raining like shit. i so wanted to sleep in but couldn't.
got a vessel to go to. so dragged myself out of bed and out of the room when i heard dat the rain has somehow gotten smaller.
good thing once i was onboard the vessel, i was relaxing a fair bit coz the hardware bit's done and
now bruno is working on fine-tuning the system.
so i spent the day playing old dos games i had downloaded a while ago. kekeke...
if u're old enough, u'll prob recognise the game - quest for glory 1.
so after playing for a while, i changed game.
this time it's the grand-daddy of the EA NBA Live series - Lakers vs Celtics.
despite having not played the game in like eons, i still managed to win my first game.
but i was playing as the Lakers when Magic Johnson was still in the team.
ended a little late and so dinner is once again at the cafe - Manggo Grill and Cafe.
tom is gona b my last day of work. i suspect it will end really late... but it's ok.
coz every hour worked tom is considered as OT :D which means X hours @ $24/hr.
and it's probably gona b at least 10hrs.
den it's back to manila at 9am on sunday morning, reaching the airport ard noon and checking in for my flight at 2.20pm.
but i juz got news dat my other colleague who is kinda following me for this project i'm working on in sg,
dat he re-ran a cable which he tot was wrong but wasn't.
ROAR!!
he's always not checking his drawings and other documents properly.
so i've gota correct his mistake when i get back.
and the dumb boy din tell my boss he's got stuff to do on the vessel when he was told to follow another guy.
so he only went onboard today and got done some of the stuff i had told him to do before i left.
ROAR!!
cant wait for him to get his own project and b rid of him.
i know i sound evil but he really irritates the hell out of me.
and of all the people in the office, only he has managed to irritate me DAT much.
i duno y also. he da champ lor.
ok la... enough ranting liao.
time to go sleep soon.
catch u all when i get home!! cant wait!!
see ya! nites!!

Yes, M'am Miss
A certain miss told me this afternoon to update blog.
so here i am now...
it's been seemingly busy the past couple of weeks.
i guess mainly coz of rt and make up rt sessions.
couple dat w work during the day.
some little events happening over the last couple of weeks.
kicking off the events will be prawning w apu, tress n adel couple of fridays ago.
i'll say dat was a much better outing for me than the one w the colleagues.
but it's mainly coz my prawns were not $10 each. but much cheaper.
the 4 of us caught 33 prawns in 3 hrs. quite a decent feat if u ask me,
considering the 8 or 9 of us colleagues caught 44 in 3hrs.
but we were all quite full from dinner, so we only bbq-ed a few and brought the rest home.
nothing much happened after dat besides the weekly rt sessions which i am bloody glad is all over!!
yay!! woohoo!! freedom!!
the deepavali long weekend was spent mj-ing mainly, starting on fri nite.
played till 6am. but din sleep till abt 7.30am coz was on the line w starhub tech support.
coz couldn't get online and i tot it was a starhub problem. but it turned out to be a problem brought abt by my avg antivirus.
once dat was confirmed, i went to sleep at abt 7.30am.
somehow at 11.30 or noon, i woke up or was awakened. couldn't get back to sleep so went to get the antivirus problem resolved once n for all...
din do much till the evening when i met ewen, ben n jacq for dinner.
simple one at clementi 'sam lou' horfun at ave 5 den went to settlers at hv.
but had to wait for 45mins for a table so we went to settlers at pine grove (i.e. ben's house)
but while waiting for the staff to check when they will have a table available, we saw this table near the door playing saboteur.
and coz ben n jacq bought me the game for xmas last year, we've played it quite a few times.
so i saw the tunnels dat the players dug out, i knew the miners all CMI coz they went one round around the starting point.
and if they were lucky, they can only reach 1 possible end card.
and one guy asked 'saboteur how to sabo ppl?'
but enough of dat coz i know i'm boring ppl who duno the game.
so at ben's place, we played bonaparte (otherwise known as the bean game coz u have to plan beans n harvest them for coins) and
evo (otherwise known as the dinosaur game?)
t'was my first time playing evo. not too bad i must say... really wun mind playing it again.
but problem is it's a fairly long game. w 4 of us playing and thinking decently hard, we took abt almost 2hrs to finish 1 game.
and dat ended sat.
sun was mass@12.30pm at smota. met jerms at the lift landing on the 13th floor.
den while in church, met jods n bryan.
after mass, lunched at BK w jerms n jods and scooted off for my haircut@next.
cut my hair short coz i'm sick of longer, flat hair.
and went to marina square for X08 w miah after dat.
previewed a couple of games and i must say i am looking forward to quite a few games.
guitar hero world tour is number 1 in the list and i'm gona train on the drums.
gears of war 2 is another i will be looking out for.
tried dead space and dat title din look too bad.
went to dinner at o'brien's at jelita den went home for a while b4 heading out to thambie's place for another nite of all niter mj.
played till 6.30am den went home. won abt 27. decent good game. had a couple of 5-tai hands.
but after deducting 10 for mac's, 10 which i lost on fri nite, i only won 7. but dat's still better than losing money.
monday was a quiet day at home. was supposed to mj w jerms but couldn't find a 4th player.
so went to peter's house to update my collection of tv series including gg, heroes n prison break.
and on a not so happy note, i kena $120 worth of traffic summons in the last 10 days - 1 $20 and 2 $50 fines.
damn shipyards w/o sufficient parking. dat's 5 hrs of ot to claim back lor.
sianzzz...
thank god for the long weekend. this week now seems so much shorter.
tom's already wed and b4 u'll know it, the weekend is here again.
going to the pee-lee-pins next monday. will b gone for abt a week. hope i can b back in time for bryan's open house.
guess dat's all for now.
i wana play poker! markie! ewen! ben! john! and whoever else! we NEED to poker.
i need to earn back the $160 i spent on the yummy chips.

Ice, Exercise and a bad back
Wad a weekend!
start off w byron's bene-bash at kallang ice world.
was great being invited and sharing in his 21st birthday bash.
and was also great meeting up w frens i have not quite met in a while.
and of coz ice skating. cant rem when was the last time i did it... but it prob was during my poly days.
took a while to get used to the skates n soon i was skating ard, tho not like an ace but ok enough to move ard.
sat was a quiet day, going to imm w my dad to get his new specs done.
he got himself a pair of oakley rimless prescription glasses. cost quite a fair bit but i think it looks great.
i only had my specs lens replaced coz they were getting dirty n kinda scratched up.
the evening was more interesting.
had a surprise bday dinner for tress. apu had us all arriving at the restaurant so we could surprise tress when she arrived.
she tot it was a dinner between the 2 of them. good job apu. kekeke...
dinner was at waraku@marina square. food was decently good.
but the food was served in reversed order or sorts.
our own mains arrived first, followed by the tempura and sashimi.
plus they brought us orders which were already served - twice.
but it was good nonetheless.
met up w the churchies for a while at john's place after dinner and we played saboteur.
havent played in a long time and i was definitely fun playing it again.
after a few rounds, it was time to go home.
sunday was also fairly quiet. went for mass and went to watch burn after reading.
it's a nice little funny film w no real story to it.
so at the end of it all, u'll ask urself, so wad was the whole point of the movie to which i'll answer - there is none. haha...
after dat it was off to maju camp for my weekly date w the PTIs.
did some runs, and static exercises and went home.
dinner was at dragon phoenix restaurant at liang court.
we were celebrating basil's and my parents' birthdays.
food was good. yummy.
and when i got home, my back din feel too good.
like i kinda strained it. i guess it could have been the situp and bridging exercises we had to do during rt.
but i thnk it could have been the situp coz i've done bridging during rt b4 and nothing's happened to me.
but havent really done situps during rt. only crunches.
so woke up on monday w a bad back.
i could walk n all but couldn't really bend down and carry heavy stuff.
went to see the doc n had to call the office and trouble my colleagues to take over my duties.
coz i had to go to a ship to do a final inspection n rectify a software problem.
and coz of the injury and mc, i could not go to batam today to take over my colleague's project.
and another guy had to go in my place. and i missed out on abt $500 worth of overseas allowances :(
and of coz i still have to go for rt coz there is no way in hell i will wana defer the bloody rt again.
and coz my rt from my last window was not cleared (i'm doing it now).
and i couldn't get my ippt done for my last window, dumbass mindef decided to send me a letter today requesting for my presence at cmpb
to answer the charge of Neglecting to Perform a Lawful Duty. hello? not dat i din want to, i couldn't.
ur bloody system din allow me to book my ippt.
damn. have to call TAB tom liao.
and i've decided once i've cleared my rt. i'm going for ipt early next yr.
it's only 8 sessions and so i'm only inconvenienced for 4 weeks den i'm free of the military's obligations for the year.
i dun see reservist as any inconvenice. in fact, it's a nice holiday. kekeke...
it's only the bloody ippt dat's a bummer. waste my time. *ROAR*
time to shower!! see ya next time!

Of Prawns and Chicken
Went prawning w the lads from the office last nite.
was a first time for most of us but we had a blast.
in addition to the activity and company and food, we byob-ed.
so we had a couple of australian reds n nowegian hard liqour called aquavit.
dun even know wat kind of alcohol dat is classfied under.
i brought my bottle of inniskilin gold reserve.
spent 3hrs from 10 fishing for prawns till 1-ish.
think my prawns were the most expensive at $10 a prawn coz i caught only 3.
cost of rod n bait is like $30 for 3hrs.
but we caught like 44 prawns which we proceeded to marinate in wad's left of the 2nd bottle of red.
den went to bbq them... woohoo! good shit i tell u.
and if dat wasn't enough, we were off to geylang at 3.30am to have daohuay at youtiao da wang aka yong he.
and after daohuay, we went walking along the lorongs looking at the streetwalking girls plying their trade.
and coz the brothels were all closed so we gave those lorongs a miss.
after walking a few lorongs and seeing wad's there to see, we headed back.
and after a shower and all, i hit the sack at 6am.
havent been up till so late in a long long time. but it was a good outing and juz bonding the guys.
for the churchies, we shd go some there and try it out. awesome fun.
tho it can get rather saddening when ur prawn count is at 3 while other colleague is complaining dat he cant get his 7th or 8th catch. *ROAR*

Nothing, Nothing...
I think i probably have set a new record.
i have spent 2 consecutive fri nites while in sg, at home.
wasn't in sg last fri so dat doesn't add to the stats.
mayb dat's wad turning 30 does to u...
it makes u slow down... or mayb it's juz i din manage to find ppl to go out or hang out with.
hahaha...
was watching the f1 practice races while playing pet society and metropolis and typing race on fb.
hahaha... i must say it feels kinda weird seeing a race and actually hearing the commentators name the places i go to. hahaha...
think tom's qualifiers will b an interesting affair with prob hamilton and massa fighting for pole position. somehow,
i'm rooting for hamilton tho i dun really know why.
mayb coz he's the young upstart who's doing a bloody good job of winning races.
haha... i duno.
i hope i'll get back in time to have dinner and watch the qualifiers w the churchies.
gota work tom morning. hope it'll b done in as short a time as possible.
time to go to sleep... den wake up to go to work :(
was hoping to shop for a wedding anniversary pressie tom...
but looks like i can only do it on sunday.
nitez peeps!! and have a great weekend!!

ROAR!!
It started out as a decent simple easy day.
all i needed to do was to go buy some dvd+/-r and den go back to the vessel and make 2 backup discs.
but the minute i left the hotel to get the discs, things went kinda downhill.
first, i couldn't find my dvds. all i wanted was a somewhat reputable brand name product.
but i couldn't find any until i went to my 3rd stop and it was philips (no offence to the brand but it's not exactly a brand u will get if u're getting blank dvds)
and den when i got to the vessel and got started w work.
it was supposed to be easy stuff... juz create the backup discs and all will be done.
but somehow i had itchy fingers and decided to test the created dvds by using them to restore the computer.
and halfway thru, an error occurred.
and the computer couldn't boot after dat.
so i had to restore the pc using an older, but working disk.
and tried to restore the system to its original state.
but the cd mirror used to reinstall the program was an older version n not the latest.
had hoped to finish the work by 3pm.
ended in the yard till 6.30pm.
so now i have to go back again tom at 7.30am. and get things done by 10 b4 the vessel sails out for another test. and upon returning to the hotel, i realized i had left my mouse on the vessel.
so i'm stuck w using the bloody lappie's mouse thingy which sucks big time when u're trying to play a game or surf the net.
i juz hope tom will be a better day... and work will go on smooth till thur.
den it's back to normal civilisation.
1 week in batam is killer enough.

Back to the Good O' Days
The weekend gone has really been a blast!
saturday started out a little unnerving coz i had to go work and i din know how long it was gona take. but thankfully, it din take too long and i could make it home in time to go for my 3pm appt at Next. and at the end of the haircut, the extra i have to pay compared to this other salon i'm also going to is justified.
after dat it was approx 2.5hrs to D-Hour.
and i was prob feeling the pre-party jitters coz i couldn't get anything done at home.
and i knew john n fel and some of the peeps were preparing the place.
so i left the house early to drop by and see if i could help in anyway
but got promptly chased out. so i went upstairs to house for a massage which i must say was pretty good. except dat it cost me like $128.
now after dat, the REAL fun began.
got my bag and changed into clothes i have not wore since 1994.
ok... make dat march 1995 - my catholic high uniform.
bought them last week w ben specially for my party.
my 30th birthday bash.
Trashie@Thirty was the theme.
30th birthday, 30 guests, 30th August.
unfortunately, we weren't as trashy as i had hoped coz everyone came looking nerdy but oh wells.
as jarrod puts it, they've shown me their love by showing up in their uniforms, even if it meant buying a new set, arriving in their uniforms after an office dinner, borrowing and wearing an oversized shirt.
so thank you, all of you!
many thanks to john and fel and mark n ben n jacq for getting the cake and doing up the deco of the place. it was absolutely fabulous and i wish i have fotos to show. (i will put up once i have them - either here or on fb.)
also wana say thanx to ewen and ben for providing photography assistance :)
i'm sure ben had a great time playing w his new toy.
thanks to michelle for recommending the place as well...
i'm juz glad the place managed to pull off the event coz i had my share of frustrations communicating w them.
great fun catching up w frens, all becoming like sec school kids again and dat includes me.
hahaha...
so we were like a bunch of underaged drinkers all downing glasses of wine, beer and champagne.
after the food (was kinda worried we wun have enough to eat, but we did in the end),
it was games time! had a quiz and played charades.
it was really a blast from the past.
jerms and i even played ji-gou-pa over hoegaarden, with the loser drinking.
we were pretty even until towards the bottom of the glass when i skali started to lose like shit :(
but it was good fun!
so thank you to my wonderful frens who have been a great part of my life, tolerating my ridiculous shit and being there for me.

Of Lego And Star Wars
I've always been a huge fan of lego n star wars - especially the lego star wars series.
most notably the original trilogy series released by lego.
was at toy station at serene centre couple of fridays ago to help tweebo buy monopoly.
and i saw a bunch of lego star wars character keychains.
i din want the usual luke skywalker, chewie, vadar, yoda ones... so i was juz looking thru everything that was hanging there.
den i saw this.
when i saw it, i knew i had to get it, even tho i know i din need it.
so i paid $7 for it. hahaha...
now he hangs w my van keys.

Drinking Away The Monday Blues...
Oh wait... i have no monday blues.
first day of week 2 of reservist saw me reaching camp at 5am and leaving at 12.30pm.
and of the 7 1/2hrs in camp, 5 were spent catching up on sleep.
so wad blues can i possibly have?
but it was indeed a nite i never tot i'd have.
wala's on a monday nite. it's not too bad really.
no crowd, good music.
watching the guitarist get more and more intoxicated as the sets get played.
and the reason why he was getting more and more intoxicated is bcoz it's his bday today
and so his frens and some of the ppl there bought him drinks... well, it was shots mainly.
so by the end of the 2nd set, he was slurring already.
a good nite must say.
time to start work. have a good day everyone.

The List
I'm bored shitless in batam coz holiday inn is too ulu-fied for me to travel to town...
so i tot i'll juz write down a list of wat i hope to get for dat time of the yr.
- a star wars lego collectible. the millenium falcon, death star or the imperial star destroyer are
good choices.
- an analogue flash for my canon canonet QL-25.
- cash is always good.
- a gf... but dat cant b bought. hahaha... shit. if this is on the wishlist, den it means i'm kinda sick of
being single.
- all expense paid trip to dive in redang or anilao w ann and frens... but i think redang will still be
cheaper than anilao. coz anilao will need to include return air ticket to manila via SQ.
erm... dat's all for now...
i know it's all quite pricey... but hey!
it's a WISH list...
and it's only when u dream, can dreams come true.
*cross, double-cross, triple cross fingers n toes*

难道我又初恋了
Got to know someone some time ago...
somehow we hit it off quite well from the get-go.
and for some reason, she's always on my mind.
and i've not had this feeling for anyone in the past 3 yrs.
not sure how this will work out or end...
but we'll see i guess...

Christmas In July
Was out w the churchies for dinner today after mass.
and john is back too!! so he was at dinner as well...
after dinner, it was dessert at commonwealth food centre.
den we juz chilled at john's house...
and who would have known, christmas is early this yr!
john came back w pressies for all of us, a watch for peter and i,
shoes for the other guys, clutch bags for the girls.
john was at a aldo sale in melb... he was there for 3 straight days.
and bought like 16 pairs of shoes in all, tho not all were for him.
and hearing from him, the shoes were all gotten at worthwhile discounts.
and after all the pressies were sorted out, we were given a little treat of his life in adelaide.
he was showing us his fotos of his life there, the who's who and who's not.
who's the bitch and who's the slut,
who's the rich, cute-looking guy, and who's the rich, gay one.
who's the girl w the largest cup size, and who's second.
who's the prude and who's the whore.
who's the fav lecturer and who's the perv looking one...
it was such a gossip-filled story telling session!!
hahahaha...
and here i am, now back at home and blogging abt it coz it had to be recorded
for future references coz firstly, christmas doesn't always come in july.
and secondly, it's juz too excitingly gossipy to not keep a record.
hahaha...
and here's another big thank you to john for the pressie.
love it!

Random Rants
Sitting in front of the lappie, i am now blogging while eating island creamery's strawberry margarita. it's quite yummy...
but i think it still cant beat daily scoop's lychee martini.
so daily scoop's still my fav.
today's quite an alrite day... went to the yard to do an inspection for a vessel.
and a supposedly 2hr stay turned out to be a 4hr one.
thereby resulting in a late lunch.
but it was alrite. another 3 more days... b4 the new telly arrives.
and i will start camping in my room :)
cant wait. hafta go get screws to mount the shelf i bought from ikea too...
but dat's gota happen on fri.
got a company outing tom to APB, home of tiger beer.
i'm undecided between juz playing bball w some of the colleauges or go for the tour of the brewery.
somehow i dun mind juz going to take a look at bottles running along the production line and getting filled w e golden juice...
but honestly, i dun like tiger. so it's not so "wow... i have to go",
unlike the heineken experience which i wanted to go for in amsterdam but couldn't coz they were closed for reno i think.
might b going to batam for work next monday for a couple of days.
but dat's not confirmed coz still waiting for the client to get back to me regarding the progress of the installation.
on a more random note, it's wed... mambo nite...
it's been so long since i've gone for it...
hahahaha...
the ppl are like SOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo young.
dat's y places like harry's and wala's are for me.
pubs w live bands.
well... guess dat's all from me for now...
ciao!!

Eventful Day
Today was quite a day...
went for a fren's wedding in the morning,
den visited a fren who gave birth at thomson medical this morning.
and i found out in the evening dat the archbishop meritus (i hope dat's how u spell it) passed away this afternoon.
went for my other frens' engagement bbq after going to daily scoop and island creamery to pick up ice cream.
now i'm back.. feeling kinda achy coz i played bball w my colleagues after work for abt an hour or an hour and a half. running ard is damn tiring la! and my shooting sux. BIG TIME.
i only scored like 2 baskets and both were from lay-ups. so mayb i need to work on dat.
was supposed to play tennis w ben n jacq in the morning... but i'm quite tired.
and wun b able to run abt when i play... so i think i'll pass this time round and join them next time.
another 7 more days and my new tv arrives! so exciting!!
thinking of going to ikea tom afternoon to buy a shelf so i can put my 360 and future starhub digital box. den i will have completed turning my room into my personal gaming/ entertainment room.
i can watch dvds on the 360 since dat doubles up as a dvd player. game on the 360 or laptop,
which incidentally, is giving me lots of problems.
i suspect the hdd is abt to fail. which means time to back up all my fotos, music and other impt docs b4 it officially crashes.
it really sux to lose all ur fotos, bookmarks, contacts, savegames, music and wad not when the hdd goes. so rem... backup all ur impt data.
better still, kepp them on a separate physical hdd. makes life easier.
it's almost 2 am now... looks like it seems i have found my mood to blog...
hope the momentum keeps going...
gona go off now... see ya all later!!

Shock Shock, Horror Horror!!
Was looking thru my Amex acct online the other day...
and i saw 2 horror transactions -
MY TAX RETURNS!!! gone like dat.
was wondering wad it was at first... den i checked my tax return docs.
and saw the terms dat if the forms were not mailed back by 14 june,
they will debit the returns to my credit card.
so it means my forms din reach them on time.
at first i couldn't find my receipt for my registered mail.
so i tot i might have sent them out late.
but i found my receipt on my office table this morning and it says dat i had sent it out on 4 june.
somewhere, somehow, someone screwed up... and i have to pay abt $350 for it.
there goes my samsonite.
email singpost to find out when my docs reached global refund in paris.
i hope i can contest the payment n make them gime my money back :(
and i hope it's the french postal service's fault...
but even if it is, now i'm wondering how i can get my money back.
sigh.
and i saw 2 horror transactions -
| 19 June | EARLY REFUND 22,80 EUROPEAN UNION EURO | $49.58 | |
| 19 June | EARLY REFUND 136,83 EUROPEAN UNION EURO | $297.57 |

Problem Solved
Fixed the problem w the tagboard.
turns out they changed the html coding for the board and their website.
no wonder my tagboard couldn't load.
but dat's all solved now.
guess all dat learning to write html years ago in poly is still paying off somewhat.
europe post still w-i-p.

Craving Satisfied
It's now 2.22am.
juz came back from supper w ewen.
was supposed to go sleep ard 1am...
but somehow felt a little hungry.
wanted to cook instant noodles n fry my little can of foie gras but was too lazy to cook.
so mac's is the next best choice. but figured by the time, they deliver to my place,
i could have gone to the one at bb central n have my fries n b on my way back.
been wanting to have fries coz i wana have them w the sauce i bought in paris.
sauce pomme-frites it is called. and it's gooooood.
the mac's in paris also give a similar sauce for their fries and i like it.
so bought the sauce when i saw it in the supermarket.
looks quite like the one from mac's, but slightly different still.
anyway... so wanted to eat something and i know i wana go out.
so i asked ewen since i know both him and fel are awake but fel is busy w work.
technically i can walk to bb central and ewen has to drive down.
but he din feel like driving and i really wana have my fries w the sauce.
so i drove down to pick him up.
after one large fries, i wasn't satisfied. my mouth still longed for something more. so did my stomach.
so i went to order another 6pc nuggets and an apple pie.
and after all dat, my craving is finally satisfied.
and now, i'm a little too full to go sleep now.
confirm will get fat like shit. not dat i'm not right now...
but at least i'm not like FAT fat... juz tubby fat.
watever dat means...
hahahaha...
still working on my europe post. no inspiration to write dat one...
so dat'll take a while for me to complete it.
bear w me...
a word of apology to my frens who have dropped by now and then to only discover
the bloody potato hasn't posted anything new in so many months.
a 50% complete foto compilation of my europe trip can b found here.
and for everyone's info, i'm still selling my Louis Vuitton Epi Leather Jasmin in white.
dimensions are: 12.6" x 7.1" x 3.5"
mail me for more details.
and with dat, i end this post. till den...
and keep reminding abt my europe post ;)

A Most Pleasant Coincidence
Went for my 3rd wedding in 2 months yesterday.
it was also my first non-christian wedding, which was a solemnization by the Justice of Peace.
the couple are both financial advisors whom i got to know while i was doing financial planning quite a while ago.
funny thing is the JP chose to give them words of advice on the topic of finance in a marriage.
but anyway... the main point i want to bring up is dat in these 3 weddings i have attended,
the couples both share the same first letter in their names.
wedding 1 - clement & cindy (C & C)
wedding 2 - adelina & amos (A & A)
wedding 3 - garry & gwen (G & G)
and such is this pleasant coincidence.
and i realized dat i have kinda disappeared from the blogosphere for a very long time.
n i shall try to update more often... but i lazy la. free time is spent on the xbox playing mass effect.
but now, i am devoid of dat choice coz my set kena the 3 rings of death!!!
and i have to wait till 4 mar to b able to bring my console down to exchange.
4 march leh!!! dat's like so long la!!
*grumble grumble*
on another note, i've started work at my new workplace.
it's only a 5-10 min drive from home. and the environment is a friendly one.
everyone is keen to help out n share knowledge. i juz need to get more familiar w the system diagrams n layouts n cable details.
not to mention the components of the system.
sitting in the office can a killer coz i dun have any paperwork to do coz i dun have my own projects yet.
so whenever my colleagues go out for a job, i juz tag along n b their 'ahmad'.
also planning a trip to europe for 2 weeks. gona b travelling w ewen.
but have to save like shit. n unfortunately, my freaking credit card bills are killing me.
i need to stop signing for stuff... looking at how things are right now, the bills shd dwindle in value now,
coz no more travelling n spending money until may.
so now it's cheap food, save on drinks all the way till may.
poor me... :(
guess i'll go off liao... hope everyone had a great cny.
i din even get to play much mj. only like 3/4 round at michelle's house...
I WANA MJ!!

and i realized dat i have kinda disappeared from the blogosphere for a very long time.
n i shall try to update more often... but i lazy la. free time is spent on the xbox playing mass effect.
but now, i am devoid of dat choice coz my set kena the 3 rings of death!!!
and i have to wait till 4 mar to b able to bring my console down to exchange.
4 march leh!!! dat's like so long la!!
*grumble grumble*
on another note, i've started work at my new workplace.
it's only a 5-10 min drive from home. and the environment is a friendly one.
everyone is keen to help out n share knowledge. i juz need to get more familiar w the system diagrams n layouts n cable details.
not to mention the components of the system.
sitting in the office can a killer coz i dun have any paperwork to do coz i dun have my own projects yet.
so whenever my colleagues go out for a job, i juz tag along n b their 'ahmad'.
also planning a trip to europe for 2 weeks. gona b travelling w ewen.
but have to save like shit. n unfortunately, my freaking credit card bills are killing me.
i need to stop signing for stuff... looking at how things are right now, the bills shd dwindle in value now,
coz no more travelling n spending money until may.
so now it's cheap food, save on drinks all the way till may.
poor me... :(
guess i'll go off liao... hope everyone had a great cny.
i din even get to play much mj. only like 3/4 round at michelle's house...
I WANA MJ!!
