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*
