Almost Missed
Was off to philippines for work on sunday morning.
so left the chalet early at 7.30am to go to changi airport.
everything went well until i got to the domestic airport.
my flight was scheduled for 1605 takeoff. but my boarding pass said boarding time was 1625.
but there was no display or notification to say dat the flight was delayed until prolly like 1600.
so i heard dat the flight is delayed due to a late departure from singapore.
so i continued listening to my music... while waiting for the gate to open.
it was almost 5pm when i heard the announcement calling for me to proceed to the gate.
i had only heard my name and not the gate number so i quickly looked for one of the gate staff to enquire.
got the gate number and run like the wind. wasn't sure if i was the last one or among the last ones at dat time.
upon reaching the gate, den i realized i was the last pax.
so i had the whole plane waiting for me. oops :P sorry folks. and thanx for waiting.
when i sat down and was preparing to turn off my iphone, i couldn't find my iphone pouch.
i figured i must have dropped it when i jumped up to run to the gate.
and in the pouch was my airplane earphone adapter. looks like i'll b using SIA's not-dat-fantastic earphones for the flight back.
so here i am now at the hotel lobby, blogging and FB-ing and msn-ing coz there's no internet service in the rm. only free wifi in the lobby or poolside.
think i shd adjorn to the poolside later after lunch.
but waiting for something to happen, not knowing when it'll happen sux.
sux to the max.
coz i'm now waiting for the agent to tell me wad time he'll pick me up to send me to the heliport.
but meantime lunch is here.
so this entry ends now coz feeding a hungry stomach is impt.

The Weekend That Was Not Meant To Be
This past weekend is really an interesting one.
Barring sunday, friday n saturday were filled with plans dat did not go as planned.
wanted to go wala's on fri to catch EIC but silly us met at the hawker centre at 7.30pm,
completely forgetting dat we shd be IN wala's at 730 to get ourselves a table.
upon reaching wala at 8pm, there was a queue downstairs and it was full upstairs. (wad's new?)
so we went off to dempsey to check out the new little extension. there was this restaurant/bar place called Contemporary Melting-Pot & Bar or CM-PB in short. most awesome mussles in marma ham sauce. nice little quiet place in a corner of dempsey, away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the place.
saturday started out nice and easy. woke up late, bummed ard at home until 6ish.
den it was time to go to marina to try to catch the opening ceremony of the helix bridge.
on the way there while on the AYE, some dumbass decided to pull some stunt, causing a cab 2 vehicles in front of me to jam brake which resulted in the cab directly in front of me to jam brake as well. and of coz i jam braked too. i stopped in time, stopping narrowly behind the cab.
but before i can say 'HENG AH!' the car behind hit me. pushing me infront, thereby hitting the cab.
#$@#%$%^@^@... and the thought on my mind while getting particulars of the 2 cabs n the car behind was: damn... there goes the plans for tonite. cant catch the fireworks.
and within 30secs after the accident, a couple of guys from some workshop appeared and helped the drivers with getting all the necessary information while asking everyone if anyone was injured.
they offered to take my van to the workshop to get it repaired and of coz settle all the paperwork. and i was in no mood to like think abt which workshop to send my van, i juz drove my van to their workshop for them to handle all the affairs related to the accident.
got a rental vehicle to use in the meantime while the van is being repaired.
lulu is gona b in the hospital for abt 4-5 days. hope she can discharge b4 i fly off to the philippines.
since the workshop was in kaki bukit, dinner was at bedok 85. and of coz we ordered lots of food. (wad's new?)
and after dinner, we went back to the marina bay area to check out the helix bridge as planned.
it wasn't as awesome as it was made out to be. but we still walked across the whole bridge to the end which was abt 2/3 across. the remaining 1/3 was cordoned off as construction works on the other are still not complete.
and so ends saturday.
and this is the weekend when nothing went according to plan.
now aint dat sweet?

Splish, Splash
The last couple of weeks have been busy madness.
staying onboard the rig for a week b4 CNY to finish up commissioning my system and all.
now dat it's all done up (more or less) and on sea trial, i can now take things a little easy.
coz it's now the software engineer's work now.
cant wait for the day we get back from the trials and having all my time sheets signed.
den it's the mad rush to replace faulty parts and complete my paperwork.
den it's off to a dive someplace in m'sia. hehehe...
cant wait to get into the water again. and if a dive is not possible den a trip to wavehouse is deemed necessary.
cant wait for this project to end. and get a little break.
on a happier note, ben proposed to jacq and she said yes. lol.
ben, mark, fel n i went thru like all kinds of schemes to try to come up w a proposal plan.
but in the end, it was done at dinner at sage.
congrats to u both.
CNY gambling has been good. won a fair bit of money. abt 300 i think.
i'm getting sian of all the visiting but still feel obligated to drive my parents ard.
kinda spacing out already so i guess i'll stop here.
cant wait to get back to poker and power. lol.
