Counting Down, Counting Down

In another few more days, i'll b home, back on land.

in another few more days, i'll b playing bioshock 2 on my pc.
in another few more days, i'll b powering.
in another few more days, i'll b back in the office.
in another few more days, i'll b pokering on weekend nites.
in another few more days, i'll b checking my toto tickets. (yes... i havent checked them yet.)
in another few more days, i'll b mj-ing on fri nites.
in another few more days, well... u get the idea.

i've been away for quite a while now. 1 wk b4 CNY and 2 more after makes 3 weeks living onboard.
miss the food the most. luckily i've had my power pitstop couple days ago.
if i'm lucky, i might get my maggi goreng w teh tarik pitstop tmr morning. *fingers crossed*

well, it's nice to have made some new frens on this trip.
so a big harlow to u all but i doubt they'll b reading this.
it's been great working w them and getting to know them as well.

my sleeping pattern was all out of whack sleeping at 10am-ish or 3pm-ish and waking up in the afternn or ard 9pm-ish.
over the last couple of days, i've been sleeping like 3ish and waking up ard 9ish, trying to get back into a regular proper sleeping pattern.
guess i shd b gng off to sleep now.

see u guys pretty soon! hope u havent missed me much.

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.

Work and Phelgm Dun Mix

Juz when the cough is pretty much no more, working like crazy has caused the return of the phelgm. the cough better stay away.

it's been a mad week. rushing from home to office, office to the yard and finally only leaving the yard between 6-7pm to get home.
it's thurs today and the unwell feeling is slowly creeping in. i can sooooo feel it in my bones. RAWR!

work has been crazy on the yard. everyday, i seem to have done lots but when i think back of wad i've done at the end of the day, it doesn't seem dat much. somehow time juz flies and i'm not having fun!! WTF!

i juz need to last till fri, den things shd hopefully slowdown.

okie. gota go liao.
will blog more another time.

The Christmas Eve Entry

It's christmas eve now but i've still gota go down to the yard to get some stuff done.
hopefully i can finish most of the stuff by 2pm. den i'll juz scoot home.

gona b gng for mn mass at smota. gona b there like at 1030 to get a seat so i can watch the pageant, listen to the carols and den mass.

for those who have read abt the girl who wow-ed me, here's a little update.
she's not so into me. so it's pretty much over now.
but i'm not like superly sad coz in some ways, i kinda guessed dat's how she feels.
i will b lying if i were to say dat i didn't hope it'll work out.

well... xmas is here. and dat's a good reason to be happy abt and to celebrate.
and with the coming new year, i've decided to help out in st iggy's rciy.
hopefully dat'll kinda kickstart my spiritual life a little bit.
it'll prolly b a struggle in the beginning but i hope i can commit and contribute.

somehow this xmas has been a inspirational one.
decided to help out in rciy, went to town JUST to write xmas cards. good frens all know dat i dun write cards all along. lol.
but i think somehow this year, i wana let them know how grateful i am to have them as my frens.
so tho every card might read ALMOST the same, there's still the little differences.
but i most definitely mean every word i say.

for those who do not end up getting a card from me, it doesn't mean ur frenship means nothing.
juz dat i run out of energy n cards liao. hehe...

so for all my frens out there who i prolly wun get to meet during xmas, here's wishing u a blessed and merry christmas!

Beauty, Beast and the Birthday Boy

It was quite a weekend.

caught wild rice's beauty and the beast on fri nite w ben, jacq and andrea.
the show was fantastic. super funny and entertaining.
worth every cent paid. quite unlike victor/victoria.
and even b4 the show started, there was drama liao.

while gng to pick up jacq n andrea from work, i realized i had forgotten the tix.
cant freaking believe it still dat i had forgetten them.
it was 6.45pm when i realized it and the show was to start at 7.30pm.

rushed like mad back home to grab the tix n rushed all the way back to drama centre.
reached the theatre at 7.40pm and thankfully the show started a little late and so i din miss much.
but i kinda spent the first 15mins trying to catch my breath.
note to self: do not buy row 1 seats on circle 2 at drama centre.

it was dinner time after the show and we went to geylang for beef horfun.
had quite a bit to eat and after dat, it was yonghe tau huay for dessert.
was super stuffed dat nite.

and the nite was nowhere near over coz i headed over to ivy's place for mj.
started at 2am and din end till almost 7am. played like 2 rounds i think. or 1 1/2. cant rem liao.
lost $9 dat nite.

got out of bed ard 1pm on sat and met ben n jacq at vivo to look for presents for the good friends.
walked ard, saw some stuff, bought some stuff.
and soon it was time to head to Rocks for john's bday dinner.
happy belated birthday john!
not even sure if he reads my blog. lol.

food there is quite good. the cod was a little dry. i din really like the super crispy skin on my trout. but i loved the meat.
john's medium rare steak was fantastic.
their truffle mash potato side was absolutely heaven.

after dinner, peter headed to sentosa for zoukout while fel was headed to ade's place to go for zoukout.
ben sent jacq home coz she wasn't feeling too well.
ewen n i went over to john's place to chill in his newly renovated room. and it looked great!
love his sink n shower as well as his cupboard. made me wish i had space like dat in my room.
prolly need a complete spring clean of my room to find new space. but dat might take me like 1 whole week to clean out.

sunday was nice n quiet as always (i think).
met up w jarrod n michelle for brunch. havent seen michelle since we last met up BEFORE jarrod left for melb.
brunch was at simply bread at guthrie hse. nice simple sandwiches there. yummers!

den i met up w ben to take a look at the stuff we're planning to get for jacq. but it din quite fit the criteria.
so it's the backup gifts for jacq then. also bought the present for john.
went over to ben's place to wrap them up b4 headed to holy cross w jacq for mass.

and i juz realized dat i had been out w ben n jacq for 3 days in a row. hahaha...
useless bit of interesting information.

back to work today... feeling kinda lazy still. trying to get the "engine" restarted n running again.
the boss has assigned me a project in sg. which means i prolly wun b travelling ard till at least feb.
hoping to finish most of the work by 3rd week of jan so i can go HK in feb. *crosses fingers*

and on a side note, i've kinda restarted my collection of my starwars lego.
kinda spent 1.5k on 3 sets in the last 3weeks.
awesome stuff but i need to find a place to keep them.
they're at peter's hse for now but i'm planning to bring them home this weekend.

it's now abt 2 weeks to christmas. cant wait.
