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.
