Bourne Ultimatum

Jason Bourne finally finds out his true Identity. This is the key focus of the film, after the past 2 prequels, this finally puts and end to the Jason Bourne Amnesia problem.. But there seems to be 2 more Novels after Bourne Ultimatum, which i doubt would be made into movies due to deviated storyline & plot... we shall see..

Continuing on the witty escapes and seemingly genius ways of killing and getting out of though situations, Bourne Ultimatum ties you down into your seat. Non-stop action from start to the end. Julia Stiles has a slightly longer role in this episode compared to the last 2, and she even hints of an affair with Bourne.. interesting.. too bad that was not built on in the show.. perhaps a basis for the next installment?

Classic Quote -
Noah Vosen: [in car, on cell phone] Perhaps we can arrange a meet.
Jason Bourne: Where are you now?
Noah Vosen: I'm sitting in my office.
Jason Bourne: I doubt that.
Noah Vosen: Why would you doubt that?
Jason Bourne: If you were in your office right now we'd be having this conversation face-to-face.
[Bourne hangs up]

License To Wed

A Reverend Frank (Robin Williams) puts an engaged couple, Sadie & Ben (Mandy Moore and John Krasinski) through a grueling marriage preparation course to see if they are meant to be married in his church. This is not just a typical romance flick, you add in Robin Williams, you get a HILARIOUS Romantic flick.

Basically i decided to watch this show because of Robin Williams, he's a great entertainer.

I'm so Drained...

It's been a pretty busy week cos school is finally back in session... kindda hard getting back to the mentality of studying.. totally dread facing the books again.. though i haven bought any books this semester, the lecture notes are just as bad.. no matter how much i hate it.. i still have to go thru it.. sucky...

in the past week both the guys and gals vball teams from tj played their last match for the singapore open.. and the results for this whole tournament had been losses from start till the end.. it really sucks to play that badly.. but then again.. there's no one to blame cos we were lack of trainings...

It's GOING BACK TO SCHOOL for me...

The past week in NTU has been pretty easy.. compared to NUS, the crowd in NTU VERY VERY little.. den sales wasnt very high.. and i seriously think the "feng shui" of the booth quite bad... totally blocked from the view of the entrance... so yah.. sales werent very good... but the good thing is, this really leaves us with nothing much to do except to talk cock.. hahaa.. so yah.. quite fun also... but NUS still better... got more common ground to talk about....

The volleyball open is also drawing to a close for me soon... so we haven won a single game... due to the simple fact of lack of training... physcially and mentally totally not ready for such a competition.. so yah.. quite disappointing.. but no one to blame except myself..

So this is basically the end of all the fun and games and work i have for the past 3 months plus of holidays... it's been an enriching experience, this holiday... worked several part-time/temps.. made a bit of $$... gain loads of experience and frens too...

it's time for me to start checking NUSemail... start printing and reading notes... aarrgghhh...

anyway new photos taken during the NTU lenovo have been uploaded.. take a look...

NTU!!! Here i COME!!

First day of sales at NTU... not exactly wat i expected.. but not too bad.. there's quite a crowded even though i felt there wasnt much adverts being done for the roadshow.. BUT.. we din sell much... and NTU don't accept NETS payment.. at least NUS accepts NETS... so so dum.. hahaa.. den because of the system of ordering in NTU.. it's pretty hard to track how many sets you actually sold... so it din really matter... just help selling only... only 2 other fellow promoters from NUS are here in NTU... then there's quite a few new people... especially some with totally no experience or product training.. sianzZ... so i was actually one of the more experienced ones there.. wth...

still not feeling well... flu is still quite bad... breathing still difficult... wonder how to cope tml's work and vball match after that... oh well... one step at a time...

Rush Hour 3

3rd installment of the funny pair of Jackie Chan & Chris tucker... Fast Tongue... Fast moves... FULLL of funny crap... simple entertainment... not really the best plot you have on cinemas nowadays.. but seriously.. are you seriously looking for a DAMN good plot in Jackie Chan movies??? NO!! it's about the stunts and the jokes.. and the after show credits...

So Basically If you are a Jackie Chan Fan... watch.. if not.. unless you are bored and look some more simple laughs...

Sniff Sniff!!

Laptop selling in NUS has ended.. Sales has been pretty good actually, and got quite a fair some of $$ from it too... so i'm quite happy with it...

National Day just felt like any other day... no special feeling at all.. feels kindda sad rite?? not enough hype in the event... not enough involvement by the people... mainly cos too much non-locals locally...

Ask some vball ppl over for steamboat on friday... quite a few din turn up... so there's only 6 of us... but i think we still had quite a good time.. got quite a bit of food left over though.. hahaa..

anyway... i wasnt feeling well the past few days... first it was very very bad sore throat... loads of phlegm... den finally i got rid of the phlegm.. came flu... nose totally blocked.... feeling cold... and weak... totally played like shit during the match against Hew Rockets just now... sucks....

sniff.. snifff....

Secret - 不能说的秘密

Jay Chou's latest involvement in the movie industry. It's a romantic love story, with the usual corniness which made him so unique. It's a movie with Jay Chou written all over, it seriously seems like Jay is fulfilling some childhood fantasy of his in this movie. It just made him look damn good... But!! This is a good movie to watch, the romantic essence of the movie will just make you go "aawwwww"..

Perfect Stranger

A suspense thriller with a huge twist in the show. From the start till almost the end, you'll guess who's the bad guy and who's the victim... as you go on.. you realise evidence pops up refuting your previous argument..

It's a very intriguing plot... it keeps you locked into the storyline... you want to solve the case... and yet everytime u take a step forward you realise you are going in circles... the ending is just simply unexpected...

Great acting from Bruce Willis & Halle Berry, really kept the suspense going on throughout the whole show..

A full Boot

The day started off with a good lunch at the coffeeshop near yanli's place.. Off to Expo for the Popular Bookstore Warehouse Sale... bought some stationary there.. and 2 document drawers... those stuff took up most of the space in my boot...

Thereafter, we went to Giordano Warehouse Sale.. Spent more than a hundred bucks there on 4 bottoms and 7 tops... bery bery cheap.. hahaa... and that basically filled my boot to the brim...

Down to Hougang Stadium... first match of Open... Against NTU... We would really have a good chance of winning if only we had more practices under our belt... but we did not play too badly considering is the VERY FIRST time we are playing together on the same team.. Lost 3-1... But it's okay... the tournament has only just begun...

Sell, Sell & Sell!!!

For the past five days, i've been spending most of my time in NUS MPSH 1.. standing there in a rather nice Lenovo, dryfit tshirt, with a clear folder in my arms.. all ready to tackle any questions about the Lenovo Thinkpads.. X61 & T61.. These are the 2 models which i was promoting at the Matric Fair and Laptop Roadshow... Sales weren't too bad i would say... sold 41 laptops over the span of 5days... but that's definitely not the best result.. i think i'm only middle range the top seller has almost 80 sold over the 5 days... BUT, i think i could do more if i really sold actively.. Starting a conversation & creating an interest is not my forte.. wat i do best is remember facts and make sure watever i explain gets across to the audience.. oh yah, i also have a knack for understand all kinds of accents, PRCs, Indians, Americans, Vietnamese, Malaysia even French... hahaa.. and i would always speak to these people with a tinge of their accent, it's done subconsiously but it somehow works in a to make them understand me.. so i guess it's not offending.. :)

This whole week is fruitful, the experience of selling a product is new to me.. and i'm grateful that i'm working and leading a team of guys who are not there to just pull up their own numbers, instead we have been helping each other close deal over the past days.. especially today... i've been slacking for most of the day.. all i did was helping out in demostrations and explanations... and they would occasionally put my name as the sales person on their order form for me.. helping me get 6 sets sold on my numbers today.. otherwise it could have been a big fat zero... i really couldnt care less about my numbers... as long as we are selling as a team... it's fine... great ppl to work with.. working in a team that ACTUALLY works AS a TEAM.. just makes everything much more enjoyable...

I'm looking forward to next week, recharge over the weekend, so i wont be lethargic like today... hahaa.. next week there's only 3 days of sales.. let's see if i can hit 40 in those 3 days...

Tml makes the start of the volleyball open for the guys team... first up is NTU... judging by the state of their current team... there's a high chance we can actually win.. so for now... it's time to sleep...

Matric Fair Over

Part one of my 3-part laptop selling is over. Matric fair is over, all the freshies have supposedly visited the laptop booths and gotten their laptops... but there's still many who have not decided wat to get yet and would probably come back in the next few days.. from tml onwards till next wednesday the road show is still on and is also open to all students and staff member of NUS.. i hope i can actually clock more sales in the following days..

didnt sell much today, but i did a lot of talking and persuading.. cos i was happily helping my team members to sell.. as long as we can convince others of our superior product and achieve numbers, it doesnt matter who sells it... so yah.. basically i've been hiding in within the booth the whole day.. and i'll help others explain and add on with charateristics of our laptops... although totaly numbers have not been soring high.. but i believe customers will return to us eventually...

today also marks the first match of the volleyball open... rush down to hougang from NUS.. really took quite a long time to get there.. traffic is bad everywhere... no matter where i was coming from.. that kindda sucks... gals team played against TNT which is actually " The National Team" a bunch of national team players from my era... hahaa..so basically no chance of winning.. but towards the 3rd set.. there's lot of improvement and confidence level is building...

and now it's time for me to hit the bunk.. i'm tired..

Dead Tired

It's been more than a week since my last post, last week is basically going thru training to be a good laptop sales person, which actually is totally insufficient. But luckily over the course of the training, i learn about Lenovo and how this laptop is actually REALLY good. because of this i build confidence IN the product.

Monday was the first day of the matric fair in NUS, only manage to sell 6 laptops.. and i was really lucky to get the last 4 sales cos they were like already wanted to buy.. all i had to do was to reinforce their decision..

Today, tuesday is actually much better... At least i am more confident in speaking and creating a conversation with the customers.. and really manage to convince a few customers to buy.. and i managed 11 laptops in total today.. basically, i'm trying to sell as much as possible not cos i'm grubbing for the commission which is actually VERY little... it's like the least among ALL the vendors there.. instead, i want to build up my confidence in speaking and selling, since this is my first ever sales job.. and also i'm confident inthe product, especially it's durability.. i'm going to get one Myself!! mum has agreed to pay... hahahaa..

but the consequence from these 2 days of selling are VERY sore feet and quite a hoarse voice now... been stand from 9am to 6pm with only about a half hr break in between.. wonder how am i going to withstand the next 10 over days... TIRED...

Volleyball open will begin on wednesday... wooo... it's time for a new season...

ok.. i'm too tired now... cant think anymore... zzzzz

Knocked Up

A romantic comedy with loads of lessons to learnt. Ben & Alison met on a 1 night stand, and 8 weeks later, a baby is found!!!?? Jokes in this show could be rather crude but they are not wrong and most of the time very funny. This show is rated M18 in Singapore, but rated R in US... I wonder how much has been editted from the version i just watched. hmmm...

Anyway, this is a GREAT show for laughter. It's super super funny!!! From start till the end, you'll see people making a fool of themselves.

These nothing much more i could say about the show without being a spoiler. So i'll shall just stop here.. Go figure out the moral lessons to be learnt yourself.. trust me.. there's a lot..

Die Hard 4.0

Die Hard 4.0 is basically a hardcore action packed movie. From start till the end, the action is non-stop. Bruce Willis is back again in his 4th i and believe final installment of Die Hard, for those who have watch and still remembered the past 3 episodes. 1 was good, 2 was okay and 3 was there for the sake of being there. But i have to say 4.0 is pretty good all over again. The title Die Hard 4.0 gives me a hint that the movie will be about computers, and i was right, loads of high tech stuff going on.

Basically this show is pure action with a pretty cool and have a pretty well paced story line. 130 mins may seem alittle long on paper, but you will not be bored (provided you are interested in ACTION). It's basically man vs man/woman/car/heli/plane/computers... Everything!! And Man still wins.. Surprised??

Great show to catch, especially on boring afternoons. Maggi Q is also in this movie, and she plays the villain, now that's rare. Haha!! Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Bruce's daughter in the movie, and it's quite funny to see the 2 interact. Talking about funny, there are also quite a few laughing points in the movie, so it's quite a comedy too.

Sliding Doors


Have you all ever wondered what will happen to your life if you missed a train or managed to catch it? How does something as trival as missing/catching a train impact your life? This is exactly what Sliding Doors is about - how a split second can send your life in entirely different directions.

In the show, we find out what happen to Helen's life (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) if she missed the train and if she boarded it in time. So the story kept switching between these 2 universe, in which her life journey and experience are completely different. But a very intriguing thing happened at the end of the show... So intriguing that the lessons from this movie remained deep in me although I watched it 9 years ago! Over time, I found out that I am not the only one who was deeply influenced by this movie.

What was that intriguing thing? Check out the movie... This is a romantic comedy with thought-provoking life lessons, although the ending in 1 of the universe is rather sad. Nonetheless, this is definitely an all-time classic..

Another Monday comes...

Another monday has come and gone.. the the past weekend wasnt very exciting.. spent most of the time at home.. dabbling with internet $$ earning, basically those emails and adverts... it's not very effective really.. unless you have a crowd of people who actively click on you or u get them to become members.. and they get people to become members.. if u can do that.. u will be rich... BUT.. is it really right to do that??? BUT.. some people do get rich.. sometimes the result justifies the means... :P

today.. woke up to a drizzling noon.. best weather to go back to sleep.. but i figured.. it's time for me to catch another movie.. cos the movieaddict needs updating.. and guess wat.. dear "pontang" her work.. so she shld be free to watch with me.. BUT!! no.. she wanted to stay home.. initially i was quite pissed about that.. but.. sometimes i do that too.. so i do the alternative.. i go find her instead... i brought lunch too.. hahaa.. spent the rest of the afternoon in her place watching bones... another x-files/CSI like show.. hahaa.. but it's quite nice..

den it was time to go tj.. TA1 training again.. they are improving.. maybe not my credit at all.. but it's good to see them improving.. i never tot improvement could be that apparent.. but compared to previous weeks.. there's always improvement.. and it's obvious... whereas training with the JC kids.. they seem to have met a bottleneck improvements are not clear at all.. more of mood dependant.. sometimes good sometimes bad... i wonder wat i can do...

Work And more Work!!

Tueday i had my interview at Jardine OneSolution aka JOS... it's for the lenovo laptop promoter job during the NUS/NTU roadshows... initially i was told there werent much applicants.. but when i turned up there was like 30++ ppl there.. seems really a lot to me.. and the majority are from NUS.. but the best part.. no one from NUS actually got news of the job from the Student Union.. conclusion... NUSSU sucks.. :P hahaa.. oh well.. the interview went on quite ok i guess... i received 2 comments about myself which i hear for the very first time.. hahaa.. i was told i was "articulate" & have "strong IT knowledge".. HAHAHAAA!!!

My job with ESN has finally ended.. yesterday was the last day for track & field for secondary levels... although competition at the higher levels are really much more exciting and much nicer to watch... somehow there's lack of fun and interest in the assistants working there... i like the environment at the primary school meet more.. people are more fun, frenly.. simple cos i made more frens there.. also because of the lack of fun there.. i did not take much photos, nor did i take out my camera on the final day.. just din feel much of an urge to take with anyone.. apart from the assistants.. the officials were also very fun ppl.. they are mainly a bunch of retired coaches & pe teachers who are very very familiar with the way to conduct the sports meet.. and they were all a bunch of jokers too.. great fun to have them around..

Today went back TJ for training again... and it's photo taking DAY!! yah.. everyone were in their jerseys preparing to take the team photo.. I also took fung's camera and went snapping away.. i think it's damn shiok to have that kind of expensive camera.. cos i was like snapping snapping away like nobody's business.. quite fun.. BUT.. i wonder how the photos i took turn out.. hahaa.. not very nice perhaps... esther appeared for training today.. very very unusual & rare.. hahaa.. training began only after the photo taking session.. so training also ended quite late.. around 9pm... it's been very long since training could end this late.. in my days.. ALL trainings ended this late.. haha.. but it was fun.. and we liked it... i believe most of the gals who played in the matches today enjoyed the training matches..

oh.. JOS replied to me in EMAIL telling me i got the promoter job!!! i was expecting their call the whole day.. haha.. but they sent email instead.. i specifically asked during the interview if they would call or email.. the interviewer told me call.. DUHzZ.... oh well.. i get the job..

Time for Update

I'm back again and it's been a rather interesting weekend.. saturday was supposed to be filled with events.. training... job briefing.. drawing lots for pesta sukan and such... but i was down with a diarrhea.. so too bad... slouched at home the whole day..

Sunday morning.. i was back in action... morning i was helping out with registration at the kallang netball centre... it's the inter constituency netball tournament.. i think dear should be part of them.. she has the movements of a netball player.. $25 for 3 hrs work... not bad...

and today is basically TA1 training day... training them is a tough job.. have to keep them interested yet gotta drill them with the skills they need to pick up.. tough man.. kids nowadays.. just wanna play...

tml i'll be having an interview.. going to sell laptops during NTU/NUS matriculation fairs.. hope to make a quick buck during that period.. so people!! especially those entering UNI this yr or planning to change laptop.. please come find me k... LENOVO is a GOOD laptop.. I only sell stuff i'm confident in.. and this is one of them... cheap and good...

now for the most important announcement...

MY MOVIE ADDICT SITE IS UP... for the latest views on the latest MOVIES... check it OUT!! Just follow the link on the right-hand side bar to THE MOVIE ADDICT... clips, photos and a short review... i promise not to be a spoiler... :)

Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix

This is the 5th installment of the Harry Potter Saga, well I think the Order of the Phoenix doesnt have much significance in the story other than being a secret society, which harry potter discovers.. it's more about harry potter and dumbledore finally convincing the Ministry of Magic aka MOM, that the dark lord is back.. being just a watcher of harry potter movies.. most of my knowledge of the story comes solely from the movies.. this apparently keeps me from the disappointment many viewers have after watching the movies. BUT, they have to know this fact.. converting a book to a movie is hard work.. many many details have to be omitted to keep the movie in a considerable length.. otherwise it would have turned into a 10 part drama serial..

ok back to the movie.. being the 5th installment, there's quite a bit of improvement in the acting of the main characters, especially the most important trio. i think they have grown into their roles.. So basically i think this is the best harry potter movie so far.. good acting and nice story.. i'm looking forward to the half blood prince already...

Here's some nice pictures...

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..

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!!

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...

Monday isn't Blue

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..

CommunicAsia - Day 4

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..

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..
