Transformers

This is a cartoon which i've loved since i was a kid.. though i only vaguely remember the storyline.. this movie had done quite a good job of transfering the story to the big screen. the movie was quite long actually almost 2.5hrs.. but it's not really dragging.. there's loads of action going on.. and the robots are a little too nimble.. they were like ninja.. haha.. but it all adds to the entertainment value. so overall i would say this show is great for Transformer lovers, action lovers.. pretty babe lovers too.. hahaa.. Megan Fox an eye catching, heads turning actress..


Here's some pictures.

New Movies Site

I've been watching lots of movies over the past years.. and i think it's time to have a site for myself where i could address my views on the shows i've watched.. so there will be a new site...

The Movie Addict

It's now under construction.. give it a few days.. it will be up and running...

Friday 13th

Today's friday 13th, but nothing much has happened to me today, cos i'm at home the whole day.. oh yah.. met dear for lunch just now.. wanted to go to the cafe at lion city hotel for lunch.. BUT it was under renovations, how unlucky is that!! oh well.. so we ate at the geylang serai food centre instead.. food there is still cheap and good..

the past week has been rather busy except for today, activities going on almost everyday.. wednesday was the finals for the primary school track and field meet.. and as expected the nigerian gal broke 2 records again.. and she was also named as the athlete of the championship.. why not rite?? I took quite a lot of photos on the final day.. see them at the usual fotopic website..

Here's a video clip of the nigerian gal's 100M finals.. just look at the huge gap at the finishing line..

Finally Blogging Again

Have not posted anything new here for almost 10 days.. and gosh!! it has been a tightly packed 10 days... Last week was totally filled with track & field activities.. Primary school track and field is drawing to a close and it's final day will be this coming wednesday.. while the higher divisions just began running last thursday at choa chu kang.. i went over to help out on friday too... there's very different atmosphere at both meets.. though most of the events are the same... but the student's priorities are so different.. the primary school kids just want everything to end quickly and get it over and done with.. while the higher divisions are focused on winning.. loads of pre-run antics.. and self-psyche going on.. it's just MUCH more intensed...

Tjvb BBq went on on saturday.. i think it's pretty successful, i think i pretty much enjoyed myself.. lots of activities going on.. and the food i prepared the whole morning was pretty much well accepted.. but there was still lots of leftover.. that i did not expect... i thought the food will be gobbled up.. oh well.. i guess that's cos the big eaters were not around.. like esther, jiaxian, alison... hahaa..

stayed over in schoool after the bbq, there was weifeng, vanessa, jp, keith and vanessa's dog(nobel)... wanyang, bingguang, markus, yinglan, lihui, jass and i went geylang for supper.. and took a tour of the various gals selling themselves at geylang.. wanyang was the tour guide.. hahaa.. in the end we bought some drinks and a watermelon back to tj.. and continued talking.. until some of us went konked...

sunday was supposed to be at ECP since morning for passion run.. luckily i pushed that away... otherwise i'll die of exhaustion.. hahaa.. so slept thru part of the morning and meet up with kurniawan and the 4e gang at ECp in the afternoon... just had a short chat.. and kurniawan left for dinner.. while the rest of us.. namely kaiyu, jane & tenghui went to the ECP hawker for dinner... queued for the wanton noodles which has very yummy looking char siew... the char siew actually has a machine specially made to cut it into slices.. hahaa.. damn lame... it's not bad.. but just a little expensive...

monday is also a hectic day... exhausted quite a bit of my petrol... went to toa payoh to hand in registration for pesta sukan, den went choa chu kang for track & field which was actually quite boring today.. cos seriously nothing for us to do... i was actually doing umpire.. which could end quite late and i needed to leave early to go back tj, so i swap duties with a fren.. and it turned out that his duty is totally redundant today.. so i had to walk around and make myself look useful today.. hahaa... easy $$.. crap... drove back to TJ to coach the TA1s a little... really hard to teach beginners.. cos they simply cant seem to do very simple things.. like throwing a ball properly... seemed an arduous task to them.. WTH!!

dinner was at bedok 85 market.. with the 4e gang and kurniawan again... this time we had more pple den on sunday... lots of food.. when eating a larger group.. ordering is fun.. HUGE orders of everything.. hahaa.. filled the table to the brim.. took some photos too.. and they are already up at the usual places...

Passion Run Expo Day 1 & National Stadium Closing

Went to help out at the Passion Run expo today, got a COTTON saucony Tshirt for that.. Not was i was expecting, but the whole experience was not too bad.. surrounded by frenly people working around me. Made jokes along the way, so it wasnt too bad, except for the fact there aint any money given for allowance. The expo was held at Velocity @ Novena Sq... first time going to the new extension to novena sq.. there was quite a bit of shopping crowd.. definitely more than wat i was expecting, cos i felt none of the stuff there will be cheap. The fun thing was almost everyone else in my group are JC students, except for one malay guy was just 1 yr younger.. He was going to be a nurse.. unique leh.. hahaa..

After the expo, i went to Kallang to meet dear.. We were going to watch the last match for Kallang National Stadium.. Singapore vs Australia.. The match itself wasnt extremely exciting.. the atmosphere in the stadium was pretty good though.. though not full, there was loads of cheering and shouting.. drums and horns going off.. love it.. there were also some frens who were there too.. including puey yee who gave us tickets.. and a few other frens she asked along... the Closing Ceremoney was the emotional moment.. din want to stay initially.. but i was glad i did.. I'm a huge supporter of memories.. i love to think about pass memories.. and this stadium holds many many memories for many singaporeans and sporting heroes of the past.. pity, i do not have any marks left on the fields.. So That was GOODBYE KALLANG NATIONAL STADIUM...

National Primary T & F - Day 3

Last day of track and field for the weak. I'm getting a hang of things going on already. And recognise most of the face in the assistants group already. So yup, things should be ok. I pretty much was just standing/sitting around in the announcement area the whole day and waiting for things to happen. Quite a few incidents happened but not weird enough to mention..

The African gal i was talking about in the previous post, she broke a record again!! OMG.. If she keeps this up, she's going to be a PR very soon.. hahaa.. Den there was also this boy, shld be P6, but very muscular. His muscles are super defined and well built.. Den the common conclusion we got from our guys are he will not grow taller any more.. hahaa.. pre-mature muscle building leads to STUNTED-GROWTH.. remember that!!

Went to Hawker Centre Opp J8 for lunch.. not bad lar.. we ate quite fast so went J8 walk walk.. den found this Arcade with the basketball machine.. and BG, Jass and me started playing.. hahaa.. this will be my haunt during lunch for the next few event days.. hahaa..

There's no rest for me over the weekend.. loads of program packed for me... tml morning i'll be helping out, VOLUNTEERING at the Passion Run expo @ Velocity, which is in Novena Sq.. den evening will go watch the FINAL match at the Kallang National Stadium once again.. hahaa.. after watching Singapore's previous Tiger Cup victory, that was suppose to be the last match.. so yah.. It's e last match again.. :P and MANY MANY THANKS to Puey yee for inviting me & yanli to the match. Tickets are complimentary from her.. 10q 10q...

Den sunday afternoon will have Passion Run Expo again.. so this weekend will be busy busy... Track and Field will resume next tuesday.

Anyway, I'm still trying to plan for a vball BBQ next saturday, 7 Jul 07, just in case anyone sees my blog... I'll just mirror wat i said in TJVB here... hehee

National Primary T & F - Day 2

Full day of track and field, and today's a full experience of my whole workload.. nothing too much actually, basically i'm helping out my organiser fren in everything!! but there are also times when it was super slack. nothing to do at all and just rot one corner.

oh, there was this negro gal in the race from balestier hill. OMG.. she's super fast, broken 2 records so far.. WTH... she's like leaps & bounds ahead of her nearest competition lar. some kids are just damn tall also.. others just plain noisy and playful.

there was actually some lunch catered for today cos the lunch break was pretty short. but most people still left the stadium and went out for lunch. so there was LOADs of fried rice left and we packed them into small bags so everyone could take some home at the end of the day. I took 3 packs... hahaa.. BUT, there's still loads left after i left.. I was among the last to leave already...

tml will be another early day.. shag....

National Primary T & F - Day 1

Back on a new job after a few days of rest.. this one is totally different from the job at expo.. with more things to do and time passes much faster.. and also cos i'm a friend of the organiser.. i help here and there too.. frankly speaking.. i'm still very lost as to how things are done there.. trying to catch their procedures..

it's actually the first time i ever visited the national track and field championships... track & field has always been a school wide event for me.. atmosphere was never too great.. but at the nationals.. WOAH.. those kids are wild.. yelling & cheering.. pretty good atmosphere.. wish i was more athletic in my primary school days.. hahaa.. could have done the field events.. but den.. somehow.. din work out lar..

just now went Sakae Sushi for dinner with dear.. Sushi & teppanyaki Buffet.. $20.90++ ended up being $50 in total.. but not bad.. both of us managed to use our student pass.. hahaa.. and i still feel bloated now... :P

Tml's going to be an early start... time to go to bed... zZzZZ...

JCTs has begun for those still in TJ... I was just waiting for lunch to come to have lunch with some of them.. bunny, miann & steph.. esp steph.. cos she just came back from aussie.. met them at BK tampines.. I find this bunch of ppl to be pretty ticklish.. they laugh very easily.. or am i THAT funny?? hmmm... oh well.. was actually suppose to tutor mian a little.. but that BLH hasnt sleep the whole of last nite.. looked damn damn tired.. so yah.. she went home.. and e rest of us went home as well...

so i spent the rest of the afternoon rotting on my bed and waiting for dear to be done with her rebonding.. and the wait was pretty worthwhile.. looks good.. we took quite a bit of photos.. while her hair still looks nice.. hahaa.. will upload it soon... we also caught HOT FUZZ... damn lame.. but damn funny also.. pretty much as entertaining and lame as Shaun of the Dead was... pretty much the same cast.. haha..

Last day.. the job is OVER!! end to a pretty boring job. Spend most of the time there, walking around and trying to look busy.. hahaa.. but still sweat ok.. haha.. did some directing and loud hailing..

lunch was not bad though.. nasi lemak.. the only problem... i also had nasi lemak for breakfast.. haha.. lucky rite??

today's job ended quite early, around 330pm. the bus left and we follow suit.. hehee.. but i still have to rush down to bishan stadium.. together with bingguang and jasmine.. we rushed down to bishan stadium for another job briefing.. to officiate in the National Primary School Track & Fields meet.

CommunicAsia - Day 3

Did a bit of solo loud hailing today while relieving wanyang as he went to rest. Felt kindda nervous at first. I think i still was at the end of the day. I believe although i said quite a lot, i dun think i made any eye contact with anyone. I was just rushing thru my lines and hoping for time to pass faster.. other than that quite boring. oh, i also visited the BroadcastAsiA and CGoverdrive.. Nothing much, quite disappointing.. Maybe for a consumer, it's disappointing.. but not for a trader...

after seeing quite a few showgirls over the past few days... here's my basic analysis... russian models are very daring.. their posing and such are just damn pro.. samsung models are basically BUSTY... while LG models are simply damn thin.. then there were these models in orange.. which kindda look underage.. oh well... see see only lar.. hehee..

went to 85 market for dinner with jass & esther.. ate super alot... bar chor mee + stingray + sotong + kang kong + satay + chix wings + 5 drinks... eeehhh ya.. only 3 of us.. hahaa.. very full... but quite shuang... talk a little before heading home.. and cos i was busy talking while driving.. i kindda went in circles.. SHIT.. hehee..

last day for Trade Fair tml....

CommunicAsia - Day 2

Today i'm stationed at a rather boring corner for most of the day, the end point of the shuttle bus, which we guide people to. In fact the main thing i do there is to smile and direct people straight ahead to the registration counter, which EVERYONE can see once they alight from the bus. However there's always some BLIND people. Hahaha..

Brought camera today, took some photos, but i think i'll post the photos after the last day.

CommunicAsia 2007 - Day 1

First day at work at expo. The job itself is damn boring but thanks to some not so boring company, the day was much more bearable. Wanyang was doing the same thing as i am. We were pretty much in the sun, and we were pushing people to whichever entrance we deem fit. Simple job, but gets boring as the hours tick by. Esther, bingguang & peisheng are also at the same event.

My legs are super aching now. I believe i'm gonna lose weight with this job.. muahahaa...

ECP Cycling

went ECP cycling with Jass, Lihui & eileen today.. my ass started to sore after a few minutes on the bike.. it's either i haven cycled for too long or the bike seat just makes my ass sore.. hahaa.. i think it's a bit of both.. sure have just brought my old bike.. it's rotting at home like nobody's business.. we cycled all the way to bedok jetty before making a stop.. than there's this guy who somehow was trying to be very frenly with us.. a bit freaky but everyone tried to act calm.. after all, all he did was talk.. and focus on his fishing.. until he somehow enthusiatically offered to take picture for us.. hahaa.. weird guy.. but unforgetable for the moment.. hahaa..
yupzZ.. that's the guy in jasmine's background.. super tanned.. and says he's a hairsylist in one of the saloons in centrepoint.. say he come fishing to catch mermaid.. diaozZ... hahaa..

anyway.. we left when he really wanted to take photos for us.. haha... cycled all the way to NSRCC there... AkA safra chalets... not very far actually.. so quite shiok actually.. hahaa... got good breeze along the way.. and we also made a stop to get drinks from a mobile vendor.. where i turned on my portable speakers.. haha.. i wondered if they could hear wat i was playing...
eileen left us at the end of rental time.. she had to go get stuff for her bro.. go camping forget everything.. duhzZ... haha.. so me, jass & lihui went to my car, where jass took picture of chip again.. chip is officially the tourist attraction on my car.. hahaa... everyone loves chip...
anyway... off we went to bedok hawker for WATERMELON ICE... love the look of it rite?? best taken on a hot day or after exercise.. best when both applies.. hahaa... $5 for a huge ice cold watermelon... shared among a few friends.. i bet those kids in TJ now dun know about this treasure in bedok central.. try it.. it's good...

Monday BLUEs

Monday morning was suppose to have a jogging session with the rest of TJVB.. but sadly attendance was woefully poor.. There was just me and Serena.. Actually Serena was there first and on time.. i reached there almost half hr later.. i was expecting ppl to be late anyway.. but i wasnt expecting no one but Serena.. so I'll have to say.. i'm grateful for her commitment.. thankfully she asked her boyfriend along.. otherwise how can i run with alone serena?? I CANT keep up for sure.. hahaa.. so i urge them to go run while i stayed to look after stuff and see if there was any glimpse of anyone else showing.. nope.. no one else came... Perhaps the poor attendance was due to poor choice of time.. but seriously.. today's weather was wonderful for a run... too bad... better luck next time...

So in the end i din run.. run another day... no fat lost today.. only gain.. hahaa... suxX

went to watch Ocean's Thirteen just now.. not bad.. quite funny at times.. but i like the intricate planning and plots.. damn cool...

no news from esplanade even up till now.. but luckily an new found old fren got me another lobang.. hehee.. so got another small time job.. hehee.. helping out at primary inter-school track & field.. interesting...

Tarot Me.. FEAR ME!!!!!


You are The Devil


Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession


The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.


Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

Rather boring Friday

Today din start out fantastic.. i was asleep most of the day.. i think i only really woke up when my sis called and asked if esplanade called.. BUT no.. they din call me.. no miss call nothing.. this is bad news.. this means i might not get the job offer for usher at esplanade.. that's so sad.. and i wonder.. wat did i do wrong at the interview?? was i looking too nervous and unsteady?? did i look like i couldnt handle troublesome customers?? wth?? nvm.. aarrgghh.. sore sore sore.. my sis got it.. :P

anyway.. i rot away e rest of the day.. den again.. i did not rot away the whole day.. i washed my PICANTO!! hehee.. it look pretty clean now.. just pretty clean.. i just cant seem to clean the windows and windscreen properly.. there's always water marks or other marks popping up.. sucky.. but anyway... it's much cleaner den yesterday...

went dinner with carlin, haven met up with her in a while.. which is always the case when i meet up with her.. haha.. ate at soup restaurant.. just love the samsui chicken.. yummy yumzZ.. haha.. her treat.. cos she says it's my birthday treat.. oh well.. it also saves her from giving me a treat when she gets her bonus.. duh.. hehee.. we took a few photos with my new cam.. tested out it's nite photo capabilities.. not too well tested.. cos i din really know how to adjust yet.. haha.. anyway i'm posting this pic cos i think it looks quite cool.. it was actually very very dark.. but with some editing with photoshop.. i think it looks pretty cool.. i like the grainy effect... went to coffee club for some drinks and talked for quite some time.. coffee club at millenia walk is empty.. good for chilling out.. and i realised something.. brew'd teas are good chilling out drinks.. cos u can refill the hot water.. that never pop into my head.. hahaa.. everyday you learn something new.. anyway.. it was great chatting and catching up with her..

Training Day

TA1 training today.. but not many turned up.. only 5 gals.. and one of them dun think she can cope with volleyball.. but the other 4 are quite keen.. all newbies.. so i was focusing on their basics.. basically to go low when receiving.. spend almost the whole session doing the same stuff.. but i believe they had fun and at least learnt something.. so i'm happy with their progress..

12pm - 6pm i asked all tjvballers to come back to play.. gals and guys.. all mixed.. played non-stop.. even when some of us when for lunch.. there was still enough ppl to play.. so i would consider this a very good attendance.. even lisi came.. surprised.. hahaa.. i believe many players liked the atmostphere they were playing in.. stressfree.. just play.. actually this shld be the mentality they bring into compeitive matches.. cos that's when they will perform..

went dinner with wanyang, eileen, lihui and jass at bedok hawker.. ate the huge watermelon ice together.. it's been awhile since we ate that.. really gotta introduce that to the younger ones.. great dessert to have after trainings and games... we went around looking for a fitting cable formy laptop to connect to my TV.. so that we can watch spiderlilies online.. we combed bedok and couldnt find anything.. so we ended up at eastpoint challenger.. bought something which i thought was able to fit.. but i was wrong.. damn sad...

in the end they came to my place.. yanli was already at my place.. all cramped in my room and watched on my sis's macbook which has a bigger screen den my laptop.. the show was quite tough to understand.. especially cos i was online at the same time.. hahaa...

me and yanli went for supper after the show.. beef horfun.. yumzZ.. it's been along time since i had it.. it still tastes quite good.. but the portion size has shrunk drastically... and the price has risen too.. quite sad about that.. and the new coffeeshop owner doesnt allow us to order tau huay from next door.. that explains y the shop is quite empty compared to before..

Thanks!! Many Many Thanks.. :)

This year's birthday is special.. cos many people remembered it.. although some are due to my constant reminder.. hahaa.. nonetheless, it feels good that people remember my birthday even though i did not call for a celebration or anything.. So i'll try to give thanks to everyone.. so here goes....

Thanks to qiwei, stephhie, esther, miann, bunny(see the 2nd last para), shengyu, carlin, xiujie, zoe, wengseng & shiyun for wishing me happy birthday..

thanks to 4E guys who came out for supper with me last nite.. and the happy birthday handshakes.. hahaa..

Great thanks to bingguang, wanyang, alvin, lihui, yinglan, jasmine, markus for celebrating my birthday with a great day out.. beach volley, dinner, bowling.. shiok.. and not forgetting that ultra creamy cake from breadtalk.. hahaa.

Most of all, thanks to yanli.. love all your presents.. loved the cake.. the taste of the cake.. haha.. and the almond jelly.. and everything else.. thank you.. oh.. i love that bloody bunny t-shirt.. hahaa.. brings out the psychotic carnivore in me.. hehee...

I believe i didnt miss out anyone rite?? photos will be up soon.. as soon as i can sort them out.. hehee.. very very soon... once again.. thanks to everyone.. :)

Supper with 4E guys

Went for supper with a few of my 4E guys.. at the "you tiao wang" in geylang.. sat, ate, talk... the usual stuff.. wat made me really blog abt this event is the fact we talked abt the pagers.. yes.. pagers came and went just like bubble tea.. in our CCHS days.. we were crazy abt it.. first it was using numbers to represnt short messages.. then the alphanumeric pagers came.. and we were typing furiously on public phones.. you know those 10cents phones.. yup.. we could type messages with those.. haha.. super nostalgic.. those were the days of memo jazz.. and $10 pager subcription with voicemails.. pity this era only lasted a little less than 3yrs.. came and dissipated like the wind.. too fast.. and i guess this would also be a very unique memory among ppl our age..

A Super Super Long POST...

I think this post is rather overdue.. And super long.. but better late than never.. events will be described in a narrative note, so if you find any part familiar or true.. it's not purely coincidental.. it's true.. so here it goes..

Melaka 1 Day Trip

I came back from malaysia last sunday. But somehow i felt i left some things undone when i reached singapore. So i discussed with yanli, and decided I'll go to melaka to meet the volleyball people. Especially those that i did not see on my last trip. It turned out to be loads of fun.. even though it was only for one day.

It began on the early morning on the 29th. Ask my mum to drop me at lavender bus terminal on her way to work. and there i got a $16 ticket to malacca.. so this marks the beginning of my journey. My first ever solo voyage across the border. felt a little nervy at first.. but than i told myself.. "ahh hell, it's only malaysia.. and half of the time, i know what they are saying. i just act blur" hahaa..

it was supposed to be a 3hr plus ride. the last time i came with yanli, the journy took 4 hrs cos the driver was freaking slow. this time around, it wasnt any better, the driver was just as slow.. and worst, he even made a pitstop.. in fact 2 stops.. one for food.. one for toilet.. hahaa. crap.. this driver has a leaking bladder and a bottomless stomach.. hahaa..

ok so by the time i reached melaka sentral, it's already after 12pm.. so i took almost 5 hrs to reach.. wat the hell.. anyway.. going to try another bus company new time around.. the bus is really quite sucky.. but i can accept lar.. hahaa.. first thing i did when i reached was to find food.. and i decided on A&W.. hehee.. root beer float.. shiok.. but kindda boring to be eating alone.. :p

spend about 45mins ina internet cafe at the sentral.. dirt cheap.. only 2rm per hr.. haha.. but the place is also quite rundown.. so yah.. the place justifies the price. next.. i began my shopping trail.. cos gotta buy something for yanli's sis.. so took the panaroma bus down to mahkota.. and i was told the vball people saw me on the bus.. which was like.. DUHzZ!! mainly cos i tot you all haven reach melaka.. i told fung to msg me when u all reach.. duhzZ again..

anyway, so many paragraphs down.. and i still haven talked abt meeting the vball ppl.. this shows how much time i spent wasting walking around in melaka.. even more duhzZ.. when fung said they will only walk around in the early evening.. haha.. melaka does really have much of a night life.. esp weekdays.. oh well..

after getting wat i was suppose to get at mahkota.. i decided to look for a peranakan restaurant which me and yanli somehow just couldnt find on our trip here.. and this time.. we had a discovery online that the road which we were looking for the restaurant is longer than we thought.. and truely.. it was damn long.. it took me almost 30mins to walk from one end to the other before finding this shop.. and i just took a photo of it..

after this photo, i begun a super long and actually rather fast journey.. i took a brisk walk down several roads and unknown alleys.. all based on my acute sense of direction and random luck. i managed to find the hotel they are staying in less than 45mins worth of walking and sweating under the horrible sun.. but i made it.. this hotel looks rather presentable from the outside.. but once i stepped it.. Voom!!

time travelled backwards.. 2 decades...

the super outdated layout and the ancient wooden reception desks and counters.. omg.. but i still feel the lift is the most classic of all.. 24 storeys of hotel rooms.. and the lifts crawl at 5sec/storey speed.. you calculate how long it takes to get to 17th floor.. oh yah.. the buttons in the lift.. super retro.. acrylic buttons... haven seen them since i was in kindergarten.. hahaa..

I was dragged to play bridge a while after reaching.. bridge is fun.. haven played in ages.. loved those days in tj when bridge is a legal card game everywhere in school.. the canteen is filled with bridge players.. felt so intellectual back then.. haha.. who did i played with?? eeeehhh.. i think it was michelle, chermaine & krystal.. and i think i din win at all.. suxX.. hahaa..

soon it was finally time to set off.. shopping time.. the tj bus brings the gang to mahkota.. oh yes.. back there again.. :P it's alrite for me.. i dun mind shopping at all.. just that i couldnt really find clothes that fit and look good.. anyway.. the guys aint really interested in shopping.. so we ended up in the bowling alley.. here's where the fun begins..

that's wengseng there desperately trying to do a hook, which din really materialise through all his frames. it was kenneth who stole the show.. 170+ score.. owned all of us.. all i could do was occasional cheers are a nice spare or strike.. which wasnt too bad actually..

we were way past our meeting time by the time we finished bowling.. anyway.. i dun think anyone was really complaining about it.. or maybe there was.. but i din hear them.. ok.. it wasnt really our fault.. the lanes were just damn faulty lar.. and i think wengseng could have caused that.. for dropping his bowling balls so hard.. spoil the place..

met up with the reat of the gang and i brought them to Formosa Chicken Rice Balls.. Table separation seems quite clear everytime.. it's the TAs, Fung's Table and Mine.. hahaa.. Again.. i have to say this is not the best in melaka.. the best one i personally like, doesnt open at night. so too bad.. go for 2nd best.. but i think most ppl like their food pretty much.. they looked enjoyed.. hahaa.. JP dropped his rice ball while trying to pose for this picture.. hahaa.. poor kid.. lost his balls and din even get a good shot.. hahaa.. so he stuck his head into the next picture as well. hahaa..

the most hilarious thing happened on the way to the chicken rice.. JP was freaked out by this buddha statue which was placed on the floor behind the grilles of a shop.. the way he freaked was super super funny.. BUT.. when i looked into the shop myself when we were walking back.. I got a little freaked too.. haha.. it was in a rather eerie and shocking position. hehee

walked the long walk back to Dataran Pahlawan after dinner. we were suppose to meet the bus there. wengseng wanted to look for auntie anne's, so we went. and I was rite!! there wasnt any. hahaa.. i bought Dairy King Ice Cream for some of them, with everyone contributing watever small change they have. I ended up paying the cashier with a whole stack of 1RM.. whahaaa.. the ice cream was nice.. creamy and totally no sign of any icey bits..

this dunman high TA gang did not join us for dinner, they went shopping instead. they seem to have endless stuff to buy. amazing.. they bought this mini bolster.. which many others went to buy the next day. or maybe they already bought it. I'm not sure.. i just know MANY bought that mini bolster.

took some photos on the bus, thanks to xiujie. i passed him the cam while i go get a drink in mac.. and he goes whoring with the cam.. hahaa.. after that it was back to the scruffy looking hotel.. amazing the place did not shake while we were in it.. guess i was getting used to the shaky hotels in taiwan. earthquakes are common there.. k i sidetrack.. :P

k back at the hotel, after some washing up, the non-TA-gals gang all gathered in kenneth/shengyu/jp's room... heard the TA gals were playing in-between.. but i'm not sure.. din go join them.. hehee.. but i'm sure they had fun.. they are a crazy bunch.. anyway, the room is adjoined to zoe/serena/shiyun's rm.. so yah.. it becomes a BIG room.. mahjong was the first activity on the list.. like JP said in his post, he and zoe are simply damn good lar.. or damn lucky.. the tiles are falling for them.. aarrgghhh.. they managed several big wins.. and all i could conjure are some puny little wins to minimise losses.

while all this mahjong was happening, 2 major scandals were brewing.. hahaa.. kenneth was trying to sleep on the bed just beside the mahjong table.. and serena lying pretty close by.. haha.. scandal 2 was more lewd.. hahaa.. wengseng and shiyun in the adjoining room.. doing god knows wat.. haha.. and that shiyun keeps screaming as if u know what is happening.. hahaa.. oh well.. we could only imagine.. initialy mahjong was rather boring.. cos the JP and Zoe tagteam are winning almost all the time.. suxX... we got sick of it..

we gathered everyone in shiyun's room and started to play some dumb game.. so i suggested playing closed-eye version murderer.. but somehow i couldnt get the game mechanics going rite.. aarrgghh.. my fault.. so it was rather boring.. murderer and the multi-level heart attack are the most fun games i've played.. all thanks to hay introducing them in taiwan... but sadly.. i forgot how the games went.. aarrgghhh.. oh well.. let's skip the boring murderer part.. i think most of them are falling asleep during the game. and i was the most entertained.. hehe..

Next up is basically the highlight of the night.. truth or dare.. with no option other than truth.. hahaa.. and we played it indian poker style.. with plenty of cheating involved.. haha.. the juiciest truths as usual came from the most scandalous issues.. scandalous people, scandalous issues... it's all a setup i say.. hahaa.. but the truth was good.. as for actual confessions are only available to the privilage few of us who are present.. hahaa.. for the rest who aint around.. keep guessing.. hehee... but i must say.. wengseng is somehow the target of everything.. every question either has him involved or he will be one asking question.. hahaa.. super involved in the game... the game ended with the last question at me.. think they got bored with my answer.. hahaa..

back to mahjong again.. just JP, Shengyu, Keith and me.. played for money.. and JP still continued his winning streaks.. suxX... but i dun think anyone paid him... hahaa.. so yah.. JP.. good game lar.. hahaa.. u good.. while we were playing.. the rest konked out one by one.. kenneth just sat on the floor by the table.. xiujie & wengseng slept in the gal's room.. the gals slept on the guy's double bed.. looking just like a bunch of sardines.. cos they were in the exact same position.. very sardine-looking.. hahaa.. oh yah.. where's xinzhi?? hmmm.. was he playing mahjong with us?? cant rem.. hahaa

when we got tired of the game around 6am.. the 4 mahjongers.. disperse.. i went back to fung's room to take a nap... and i fell dead asleep.. when fung woke me up, i thought he was going for breakfast.. but he was actually back from breakfast.. duhzZ.. so it was about time to checkout of the hotel.. hahaa.. washed up a little and packed up my stuff.. me and fung walked down 17 storeys.. the lift was just too slow.. i was still half asleep so i had to take each step carefully.. almost missed a step quite a few times.. zZzZZzzZz...

back on the bus.. and off we go.. where else but back to Pahlawan/Mahkota again.. hahaa.. the girls went shopping again.. while the guys went roaming around in pahlawan.. and shengyu went to get ice-cream.. he could no longer resist the temptation of the creamy Dairy King.. hahaa.. i bought cup corn.. but i got sick of it after a while.. and i saw fish in the fountain.. and i started feeding the fish with the oily corn nibblets.. the fish swarmed at me.. hahaa.. see that splash just behind serena, that's wengseng feeding the fish with my corn.. those fish are starving.. oh. did i mention no feeding was allowed?? hehee...

we went across to the arcade in mahkota parade.. the arcade is not really dirt cheap.. but not bad lar.. kenneth and xiujie are good at arcade games... esp xiujie.. he just trashed xinzhi and JP with his initial D style driving.. he and kenneth also completed the whole time crisis 2.. with some extra $$ of cos.. hahaa.. but i still think the highlight is when many of us played daytona together... i tell you.. i really wanted to win.. but somehow the steering wheel is just not working for me.. so i had to improvise to have some fun.. i struggled to make a 180degree turn and wait for victims.. hehee.. i waited and waited for the cars to come around the bend.. and i started my engines and VRROoooMMM.. BaAAAANNGGG!!! EuphoRIA!! hahaa... cars flew in the air.. hahaa.. shiok.. this tells us, you dun have to be first to control the game or have fun in daytona.. hahaa.. :P

oh yah.. that's kenneth there.. trying to "avoid" bullets flying at him.. hahaa..

time for the last meal in Melaka.. i brought them to the famous cendol in the area.. generous servings of gula melaka... finely shaved ice.. large red beans and the green cendol.. oh yah.. for you ignorant ppl out there.. the green jelly is call cendol.. hahaa.. the little eatery itself is actually quite nostalgic.. so we couldnt resist taking some dumb photos.. hahaa...

after this was making our back onto the team bus.. and back to singapore... but a few things happened on the bus.. like kenneth going around taking pictures of ppl sleeping.. and the MSN chat room which consist of xiujie, wengseng and me.. zoe got approved of her application much later.. hahaa... yah.. than we had this stop at a shop that sells local products at so call wholesale prices.. my foot.. been there many times b4.. and it's not at all cheap.. and most of the products are available in singapore.. hahahaa.. but we still spend $$.. just to expend our ringgit...

I guess that's about the end of the whole 1 day trip to Melaka... i wanted to visit vanessa as well.. but i had to go back to tj with fung.. to get key from him.. anyway... amazing how much you can write about just 1 day rite?? hehee...

Malaysia 2007

Day 1

It all started with an early morning bus to Melaka... that's why yanli fell asleep on the bus very very soon.. haha.. and that gave me the chance to take her photo in sleep.. hehee...

the journey there took us more than 4hrs.. basically cos the driver was surprisingly slow.. havent seen such a slow bus driver in a very long time... anyway.. by the time we reached there.. we were hungry!! and first on our menu was Hainanese chicken rice balls.. YUMMY!! the chicken was very tender.. the black sauce is nice.. so was the chilli... all the key ingredients of a good chicken rice is present.. except for the rice.. not as tasty as we expected... rather bland in flavour.. butit was still good.. and the balls were smaller den i imagined.. i was thinking larger balls.. but these were.. rather bite-sized.. they were good no matter.. worth the $$...

we went to explore the rest of the city of HISTORY.. and came across this signboard with all the directions.. complicated.. anyway.. getting around the town centre is quite idiot proof.. most of the places are within walking distance.. so just walk..

next stop was a whole bunch of museums.. luckily, one ticket will basically bring you to most of the important/popular museums... BUT.. seriously.. i dun think there's much interesting stuff inside the museum.. perhaps i was just turned off by the lousy and ugly human they have in the museum.. UGLY.... something else pretty dum was the fish in this picture.. they suspended fish to make them appear in water.. SO SO SO corny... so so dum...



We also saw someone familiar... Sir Stamford Raffles.. this reminds me that actually our histories are pretty similar and pretty much linked.. do some research and you'll know why... i'll shall be lazy on this aspect.. there's still loads to cover here... heheee

These are Quail Eggs.. Very High Cholestorol.. But they are NICE.. especially when they are fried like this.. my faves are those i ate in Taipei, Ximenting.. so i guess these will have to be 2nd best.. anyway.. there was a Thai Fair at this shopping mall.. so this aint local... it's thai...

GO



GOING



GONE


That's me gobbling up all the quail eggs.. no more eggs for the rest of the TRIP.. hehee..

this is the landmark of Melaka.. the Red Buildings.. a mark of the dutch influence in this place... the day continued with more walking around in the area.. looking and also some shopping..

This was our first dinner there.. peranakan food.. not fantastic.. not the best i've eat also.. tried it simply cos it was near our hotel.. and the place look rather cosy & homely...







This is a very interesting place in our hotel.. this hall is just behind the main lobby.. and it's called "Ying Yan Ting" which literally means Hall to welcome Swallows... and the birds actually have nests on this walls.. kindda freaky at night.. but it's really interesting..

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this point in time.. i'm alittle lazy to continue.. but i'll show some interesting photos that i must mention instead... for more photos and happenings in our trip.. just click on the photos and the link will bring you to the fotopic gallery..

<<<< this is yanli looking super freaked out.. cos she din know i was taking photo.. and was afraid i couldnt get onto the cable car.. Priceless expression... :)
^^^ this was taken in the cinema in Genting Highlands.. First time trying these seats.. these are massage chairs from OSIM... and tickets are only 15RM.. which amounts to around S$7.50.. cheap cheap.. super shiok.. lie down flat to watch movie..

^^^This was taken on the morning which we were leaving Genting.. when i saw this beautiful rainbow appearing horizontally across the sky.. so i took a panorama shot.. simply beautiful..

Just as we were on our way back to Singapore, we saw this as we were crossing the causeway.. I never knew there's such a beautiful sight in Singapore too.. the land in the background u see.. that's woodlands..

Announcement!!

Going to Malaysia for a week. Malacca KL perhaps Genting. WIll be back on 27th May... Seeya...

FA Cup Nite's Out

This should be a volleyball outing, cos everyone in the pictures are from volleyball is from TJVB. So i'll mirror this post on TJVB blog too.. hahaa..

I tired asking most of the TJ vballers, past and present. However those who managed to turn up are basically free like me.. haha.. either waiting to enter Uni or having hols. Anyway, 6 of us met at raffles place and went of to look for a place for dinner. Had a pretty hard time looking for something decent to eat. We were just TOO UNfamiliar with that area. Lot's of korean/Jap/Chinese restaurants. BUT!! Our recently-back-fm-taiwan Bingguang want's western food, which is somehow a rarity in the area, so we settled for PIZZA HUT.. haha.. haven had it since... Mr fung treat us to that YEARS back.. hahaa.. As in eating in the restaurant.. Home Deliveries are not counted. Anyway that wasnt enough at all, so we had 2nd part of dinner at Don cafe, Some of us like the chicken pie there very much.. some just din really like it.. and somehow we just did not take any pictures there at all... Must be too engrossed in the food.

Harry's Bar was pretty good, we got a good table right infront of the big screen. quite shiok. that's wat u get for booking early. :) the drinks are not bad.. magaritas are NICE.. esp passion fruit magarita... and some other house cocktails.. pretty interesting.. Bingguang's Harry's 92 was pretty good... good for light drinkers and wanyang's Scarlett O'hara was.. woah.. strong.. or maybe they just got the proportion a little wrong.. but it's still good.. haha..

watch out for this drink though..

SUNSET PARADISE... I personnally do not like it.. yucks... Avoid it people!!

As for the soccer.. the action was pretty end to end.. BUT.. goals were lacking.. the 1st and deciding goal only came late in the 2nd half of extra time.. It was a pretty nice one though... a few exchange of passes between drogba, lampard & mikel.. the result was a magnificently crafted goal.. oh well.. chelsea won.. even though i was wearing Man U tshirt.. hahaa.. nvm.. it was a good goal...

for more photos taken that nite.. point ur mousey on wanyang and click!! hahaa...

FRIDAY

Today is a stay home day for me, the only time i step out of my house was to eat breakfast with my dear and send her to work. Oh our usual wanton mee stall moved, felt pretty lost when we saw a different stall in it's place. We were like stunned and momentarily became idiots staring into blank space. However, we still tried the new stall, not bad, but the old one was much nicer, this was just "not bad".

Anyway, i came home and did practically nothing except stare at the com and wait for someone to online and talk to me. Once in a while there were some chatting to do, the rest of the time was spent just staring at the reincarnation game screen. waiting for turns to appear. haha..

BUT, it's not a day where NOTHING was achieved.. Spent quite a bit of time going thru the whole lot of photos which fung gave me, consists of those from his cam and kelly's cam. OMG!!! There's more than 600photos almost 1gig worth of them.. 2 days.. that's how much photos they took.. and only a few hrs each day.. BUT!!! i still think it's quality that counts.. too many blurred shots. and too many "i dunno what u are trying to take" shots... haha.. so i'll only be uploading those that are less ridiculous onto the fotopic website.. stay tuned for photos.

oh yah, I did 2 applications today too.. or rather, 1 application and received one call.. the call is for the usher position in EXPO, arranging interview 5th jun.. NERVOUS... and i also applied for Customer Service Officer @ cathay, which basically is te usher and box office staff. Wonder if i'll get the jobs. Wednesday went to apply for the IT trade show with wanyang.. but if there's clashes in timing.. most prob i'll let go of the IT trade show, cos ushers have higher PAY!!! hehee..
