Archive for Gathering

Bach Night!

What was supposed to be a Steamboat gathering, became a Pizza one instead! Like what Zhi Hao had called it, ” Bachelor Night! ” No gals involved ( no gays too! )! Just a few guy pals who haven’t meet up for quite a long time, catching up.

Wei Long was in Kuala Lumpur, on a business trip while Vinson had other social engagement to attend to. Kian finds that it’s pretty troublesome to have to go through the hog, just to prepare food for 4 people. Thus, I suggested Pizza!

Rather then calling in, Zhi Hao drove us to Greenridge Shopping Center (nearest branch from my home, that’s why! ) to get our sinful delights! The company which that lucky chap works in, ‘ supply ‘ him with a van to drive. And I was impressed with his parking skill. All it took was one shot into the lot and the van was in!

While on the way back, Kian and Lian Jie was discussing about the sound system, stereo blah blah one has in one’s car. And somewhere along the line, Lian Jie casually mentioned that the ones in Zhi Hao’s van cannot make it. Suddenly that chap felt a need to defend himself, in this case, his van and turned up the volume, saying proudly that his van is an Ah Beng!

… Honestly, it really is! I was shocked at the sudden ‘ Boom Boom Boom ‘ going on in his van. I’d to tell him to relax and  turn it back down, since he’d already proven his point. I swear that it’s like ‘ Phuture ‘ on the move! This taught me something! Never EVER underestimate the sound system of a van!

The Bach

Kian, Lian Jie, Me and Zhi Hao

In case I’d left this out in my previous post, Kian is 15 minutes older than Zhi Hao.

I’d a fun evening. We talked about those days spent in Ngee Ann Poly. Life was so good back then. Other then the grades, there’s practically nothing to worry about! Okay! The fact that I’m always single is one LARH! Zhi Hao and I were laughing about how we would skip some of the lectures/tutorials once we hit the maximum attendance count. One can afford to miss up to 2 classes for each module =)

Other than Ming Yong, I think both of them are my only other good friends who have lots ( anything more than 2 is considered as lots in todays world ) of siblings. Ming Yong has 3 while the twins (excluding each other) have 4, which means their mum gave birth to 6. WOW!

Zhi Hao then introduced me to his niece and nephews via facebook! And his first nephew, Jonah, is already 5! He was still a baby when I was in Poly. God! I’m getting old! Kids! They just grow up so fast.

And I’m shocked to learn that he currently has 4 nephews and 3 nieces. Woah!

I can tell that he love all his nephews and nieces a lot. He was telling me about how poor their family was last time, and for most of the times, they won’t even have a birthday cake on their birthday. Thus he made a promise to himself that his nephews and nieces WILL or rather MUST have a birthday cake on their birthday.

Let’s meet up again soon!

The Steamboat

Kian called in the evening to ask if my home be available this Saturday!

He’s planning a steamboat and be asking his twin brother, Zhi Hao ( who’s also a very good friend of mine ), Weilong, Lian Jie and Vinson along.

Been a long time since the group of us come together! We were all from Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

Here’s the weird link!

Both Zhi Hao and I were from Mechanical Engineering, in the same class.

Kian, Liang Jie, Vinson and Weilong were in Building Enviromental, in the same class.

Weilong and I have been good friends since Secondary School.

Kian and Zhi Hao are twins.

Though in the same class but both Zhi Hao and I didn’t talked to each other. I don’t like his stuck up look then ( Sorry Bro! But that’s the first impression! ) and he find my singing irritating, that he even stopped me once from singing during tutorial! ( We are even! A tit for a tat! haha )

I get to know Kian through Wei Long and we hit it off.

It was then I realised ‘that person who looked like Kian’ from my class is none other then his twin.

Vinson, Lianjie, Kian and Wei Long are one clique! Always doing projects together!

The rest is history!

Haha…

I’m looking forward to this Steamboat session. Hopefully the rest can make it =)

Board Games. Anyone?

Despite turning in @ 3am, I woke up @ around 8am to get ready for church.

I had a great night, meeting up with some of my cousins for dinner. After which, we headed to Clementi’s Decoder Cafe for Board Games. It pays to have some cousins who shares the same interest.

I’m a board game person. And of course, I don’t refer to all kind of Board Games. My favorites to date are still Cluedo and The World of Warcraft. I know you are famous, Monopoly , but sorry, you’d lost your magic ( to me ) already!

In fact the group of us had pooled in resources on different occassion to get those board games which we enjoyed playing, together.

I’m currently thinking of buying the below…

Shadows Over Camelot -> as the name suggests, it dealt with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round, plus Merlin…

Shadows Over Camelot

We’d so much fun playing this game. We spent about 2.5 hours? Didn’t managed to do the Dragon Quest though.

DSC03983

We kind of had given up on that quest. We are way too familiar with fantasy to know that  killing a dragon is pure suicide. Still the thought of ’ winning it ‘ is still a ‘ looking foward to ‘ challenge.

DSC03984

The above is the ‘ Excalibur ‘ quest. TRUST ME! It’s quite a bitch too!

Good news! We are given free membership. We’d reached a mutual agreement that it shall be under my name! I’m waiting for it to be mailed to me, so that I can start enjoying the benefits.

Currently, DECODERS is the new ZOUK for me!

Rajan was playing a CD on his car today. It’s a record of a Pastor giving a sermon.

Okay! This sounds creepy, but I was kind of worried about certain things for the past few days.

And surprisingly the CD which was playing was all about ‘Not to worry and Don’t Worry!’

That had certainly took a load off my mind.

I’m all set to go for the operation, coming Tuesday.

Get it over and done with!

And enjoy my 09 09 09!

Too much of horror-gore movie and nothing really surprises you anymore.

I watched Final Destination 4 yesterday with the Kee’s Gang @ Cineleisure.

The only 2 scenes in the movie which really had me leaned my back against the seat, muttering  ’ fuck! fuck! fuck! ‘ is where the woman is getting her haircut. We thought that the scissors will just go into that eyeball, but NO! It didn’t happened. And that really caught us! She died in a different way later.

The other scene which I thought was brilliant is  the Car Wash scene. And who would have thought a simple car wash will get you drown? Though that lady didn’t died because of it, the whole process was like taking a roller coaster ride, with you feeling that high in your stomach. Seriously, I would have wet myself if there’s a full bladder.

Still, I enjoyed the whole show. It’d been a uber long time since I last get that kind of high in the cinema.

G.I.Joe with Lavid’s 6

This a rather late post. Originally scheduled to catch this movie with the Kee’s Gang on the 8th, but I watched it with the Lavid’s 6 on the 5th instead.

Gijoeofficialposter

You can’t say NO to a group of good friends who offered to come out $2 each to make up your share of the movie tickets. That’s kind of a bastard, ain’t it? To refuse? I told them not to and paid for my own ticket. 

I’d planned to watch it again, but Ming Yong and Ben Woon had also watched it on the same night, which explains why we went for KTV instead on the 8th instead. Haha…

The movie is very nice. I enjoyed it so much.

3 of my favorite characters…

Gi-joe-baroness

The Baroness ( Sienna Miller ) -> She’s FIERCE!

Scarlett_GI_Joe_2009

Scarlett ( Rachel Nichols )-> She’s HOT!

240px-G_i_joe_poster14

Storm Shadow ( Lee Byung-hun)-> He’s COOL!

Kartina had finally uploaded all the photos.

After getting the movie tickets, we went to the arcade. And saw this game. I bet everyone had tried it at least once before. I’d forgotten the exact name for it, but it’s very, very CHEAP FUN.

A maximum of up to 3 players. You are required to finish a very lame task within a certain time frame. There are 3 different colored circular buttons for you to use. Refer to the pic below to get a clear picture…

Arcade

My personal favorite is how many pencil lead you can ‘tiak’ out from the pencil within 45 secs. As soon as the game commence, you’ll have to hit both the red and blue buttons continously in a very fast manner. Too slow, and you will lose the game.

All the thrill for only 50 cents… You will have 3 ‘life’. Main aim is to finishe off your friends or if you are playing alone, to finish off the computer ( A.I ).

This was taken back in Dec’07 during a Steamboat Gathering before Xiao Ge and Sharon shifted home.

While making our way to the seats, we saw this…

Dance Floor for the Handicapped

A designated area for People Like Me

Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas was playing during the credits run after the movie had ended. I was shaking on my seat and Kartina suggested that I should proceed to that dancefloor to shake -_-”

Lavid's 6

The Quan Jia Fu shot!

Again

And we have come a VERY long way -> 13 years…

Farewell Dinner for MY, with the Kee’s Gang

After K lunch on Wednesday, the 3 of us went our seperate ways, only to meet up again in the evening for dinner, together with Hui Ping and Angelia. It’s considered a farewell dinner for Ming Yong who’ll be flying off to ‘ the land which probably serve the best beer in the world‘ ( quoted from his elder brother, Ming Yuan, comment on facebook ) aka Denmark.

Initially, I wanted to wear that Mr JIHAD tee-shirt which I’d bought in Bangkok. However, I decided that it’s not very safe to wear it in Singapore and beside, we be having dinner at a Zhi Char stall in Choa Chu Kang Park. Heard that the owners are Muslim. Better not be offensive…

The Sinful Oily Damages

Overall, it’s not bad lah! Just that the Stingray and Kang Kong not very spicy.

It’s my 2nd visit. The last time I was there was during Army days, together with the HQ 6th Div Medics.

Still, I prefer the 252 Zhi Char Stall in C.C.K. The one which serves my favorite Hor Fun~

After that, we switched turf to Yew Tee’s Mcdonalds. The one in Lot 1 is fully packed.

grp shott

My Beloved Kee’s Gang ( less Lily, she couldn’t join us )

We were all rooting for MY’s , giving him support/encouragement and at the same time teasing him, for his ‘quest’. It’s one of those very rare occasion whereby you can safely make fun of him, without having the fear of him punching you back or threatening to go home.

And because MY is having all the lucks, earlier on the day during K Lunch, Ben suggested to buy 4D…

And he really did put those words into action…

Using the traditional Grandpa’s method – picking the numbers from a pile of paper, ranging from 0 to 9…

lots

Notice how neat it is?

Same size?

Folded nicely? (usually people just crush it into a ball shape)

And the arrangement?

I asked him, “Why not you just…”

“Okay! I know I’m being anal!” He replied.

Haha…

Anyway, Angelia came out with a faster way on ‘updating the rest of the team on the outcome’.

Conference Call.

Good news or bad news, we will be updated via Conference Call @ the same time.

We did a trial run first…

Successful!

All are connected!

Hor Fun with Lavid’s 6

Shit!

Something is very wrong with my body clock! It’s 1am and I’m not even sleepy. It’s the 4th day in the running already. The best thing is I’m not even having one of my blue moods, at least that’s a valid reason to justify why the hell you are still awake in the wees. And no! I didn’t have green tea today and I even dropped the idea of having a glass of HL milk earlier on, for fear that it may happen.

… And it really happen!

Ming Jin is back from, as I quote from his facebook wall, ‘The Land of Vice’, as in Taiwan. Just by looking at how he had posted that, you can already tell that he had fun over there. Wild fun! He called me from the DFS the night before, to ask whether I want any Vodka. Sadly, there’s no limited edition for sale. I asked him to get me a Tequila instead.

Confession -> To make Long Island Tea once I recovered. I’m short of Gin, I think. I still had that small bottle of Rum which Maine gave it to me when she came back from her Australia Trip…

To cut naming in my future posting, I shall codename all my groups of friends.

1) The Lavid’s 6 -> Genki, Sharon, Xiao Ge, Ying Mei, Kartina and Lim Peh

2) The Halo 4 -> Shirmaine, Cheng Jia, Jonah and Lim Peh

3) The Kee’s Gang -> Ming Yong, Hui Ping, Ben Woon, Lily, Angelia

4) The Charlie’s Mates -> Lubin, Bong, Jordan,Frank, Desmond, Ming Yong, Ming Jin

So, it’s dinner with the Lavid’s 6 earlier on at my all time favorite Zhi Char stall in CCK. Before that, we had a game of Mahjong @ Sharon’s place first.

For the first time in my years of playing Mahjong, I got 6 flowers tiles and none of which belongs to me. I’m the 3rd player -_-”

I just need to take a picture to ‘archive’ this historical moment. ( As if I really need to live with that! )

DSC03932

And no! Business ain’t bad. Just that all the customers prefer to sit outside…

DSC03933

… under those lights hanging over the top. Romantic right? =)

I will always make sure that I have their HOR FUN whenever I’m there. It’s the tastiest which I’d eaten so far.

DSC03923

Tong Zi Ji… ( Virgin Chicken )

It’s the first time I see this via Zhi Char. And there’s grapes on top of the chicken. Wonder is it suppose to be some kind of an effect! You know? Offerings for the Virgin? Muahaha

Genki and Yingmei~

As usual, Xiao Ge going for the gay effect. Lolz…

This despite his wife, sitting next to him.

And Kartina just adjusted her chair and turned around to watch TV. Damn aunty can? Haha…

 Sinful Damages of the day.

I’ll be staying away from Satay for the time being. Having it for 2 consecutive night is no joke -_-

K Lunch with the Boys

K Lunch @ Clementi with Ming Yong and Ben.

The K-Lunch is from 11am to 2pm.

MY and I were deciding on what time to meet…

1) 11 am -> ‘Let’s meet earlier so that we can reach by 11′ – MY

2) 1040am -> ‘But will you ( as in lim peh ) be able to reach there on time?’ – MY, considering the fact that I’m on crutches and K-box is quite a walk away from Clementi MRT Station

Hence, we set the meeting time as 1045 am. He said that he will inform Ben Woon that it’s @1030am, as he have the tendency to be late. Haha…

When I reached the control station, MY’s already there and Ben is, as expected, late. Haha…

He was on the cell, sounds very formal and polite. I later found out that it was an unexpected job offer. He’d applied for a scholarship and was called up for an interview. Instead of getting that scholarship, he was being offered a spot in the company if he’s still interested after he’d graduated. Woah! Congrutz Bro!

Another thing that’s keeping him happy is love-life. “I’m so happy that I can’t sleep last night! I only slept @ 4!” He said.

Yesterday was the first time which I’d seen him with a smile on his face for hours. Till at some point, you can’t help but suspect ’Is he on pills?’

He even sang an emo song happily can?

Yes! That’s how happy he is!

bro I

bro ben

I only paid $11.20 for the whole 3 hours with lunch included, after the GST.

Moral of the story, I will only go K during K-lunch session. Haha…

Orchard, 3 meals in 6 hours -> The Final Pit Stop

We saw a bapok walking towards our direction in Heeren.

“I saw her before-” Kartina whispered and all eyes are turned to her. “-in the ladies! It’s disgusting loh!”

As he/she/it was walking past us, she placed her palm on her left cheek, with a slight arch of her head to the left, and gave me a very ‘Oh Dear’ kind of sad look. I quickly look to the side and avoid her glance. Honestly, where are all the pretty gals in Orchard Road? Haha… Maine, I’m being visually harassed also can?

We proceed to B1 for Mcdonalds. It’s kind of sad that no one is game enough for 20 piece nuggets. Ming Yong! Just when I needed you most~Haha…

The White Specs~

5851_109001862321_586262321_2305262_5228916_n

Ming Yong bought Shaker Fries, during our mahjong session the other night. Though he’s not eating, Ben Woon said, ” I want to do the shaking!”

I was wondering then, what’s with the excitement?…

5851_109001872321_586262321_2305264_7342612_n

Surprisingly, it’s quite fun. Haha…

See our happy faces?

You can do it alone…

5851_109001892321_586262321_2305265_3106305_n

Or you can do it in together, for double the cheap thrill…

When should you stop the shaking you ask?

Once you start feeling like a complete idiot! Trust me! That’s the exact moment to stop and get started on those fries…

Question: What to do when the traffic light is being a bitch?

Ans: Cam-whore!

Actually, we were not prepared for the above shot. Just so happen that our frequency is right. All of us just signal that sign.

End of our Orchard, 3 meals in 6 hours gathering.

Hor Fun @ our usual hangout next week~ Bravo!

Orchard, 3 meals in 6 hours-> Part 2

Kartina decided that it’s not time to go home yet @ 930pm as it’s still early and quoting, TGIF!

… And what the hell is that?

She explained ‘ Thank God It’s Friday ‘, which somehow means that the night is still young.

I was the only one in the group who didn’t get the reference. Sharon shared that her ex-boyfriend thought that it meant ‘ The Gal I Fuck‘ Hahahaha * Rolling on the floor with laughter *

Therefore we started the long stroll to Heeren…

5851_109001827321_586262321_2305257_4170337_n

The link between Wisma and Ngee Ann City is just so empty. I’m glad that Ion Orchard had opened. In the past, this linkway is packed with people. Somehow, Singaporeans, evem the young ones, just love to walk very very slow. Somehow they don’t know that there will be a certain point in their life where they will have to walk very slow for good. Did I mention, it gets especially worse on rainy days. The human traffic get even slower.

5851_109001832321_586262321_2305258_5325392_n

Moral of the story  picture? Never EVER block a limp’s way. Haha…

We spilt up with Genki outside Heeren as he had to go work.

Nothing new in HMV not unless you count Jordin Sparks latest release as one. I’m sorry but I ain’t a fan.

5851_109001847321_586262321_2305260_4432157_n

The above picture was taken by Kartina. She’s a nurse and I think she can so relate to this album.

Answering the Call of Nature

I’d always took it for granted that going to toilet, to clear the bladder or bowels,  is very easy for guys. I mean what’s the challenge anyway?

When serving NS, in the jungle, all you need is to do is to  find a suitable tree in a secluded spot, say a simple prayer ( The belief is not to offend any possible evil spirit lurking around with your pee ), whip it out and there you go.

After a movie or in a very crowded shopping center, you just walk into the Gents, thinking about what’s that long queue outside the Ladies is for, secretly laughing at them for having to queue when it’s not even for Hello Kitty and being thankful that you are a guy ( Hahaha!!! ) , whip it out and there you go.

Apparently, Karma hits me hard in Borders.

5851_108997407321_586262321_2305192_6752846_n

WHY DO THEY HAVE TO PLACE THE TOILET AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS ?

5851_108998847321_586262321_2305237_4521781_n

Totally Shagged Out! Making my way up that flight of stairs with Kenny and Lanny, my beloved brothers-in-arm~ I later told Ying Mei that Heng, I’m not having a bad case of diarrhoea.

5851_108998857321_586262321_2305238_3023412_n

And I re-emerged a Happy Man!

Seriously, one of the few things that will make you happy and relieve about in life is when you get to clear that full bladder.

Happy Days~

Orchard, 3 meals in 6 hours-> Part 1

Going to Orchard wasn’t part of my ‘Things to do on Friday’ list. However after a 3 way comment-sation via Facebook with Sharon and Kartina, all are set to go. In case you are wondering, Sharon posted this‘koh samui , phuket or boracay?? ahhh cant decide! *pulls hair*‘ via facebook, and one comment led to another, total of 23. If you need to check it out, here’s her link http://www.facebook.com/era.liu#/era.liu?v=feed&story_fbid=115921742025&__a=1.

It’s a good thing that good friends and close relatives live in your neighbourhood too. The 3 of us, Genki, Sharon and lim peh, shared a cab to ION Orchard, to meet up with both Kartina and Yingmei.

5851_108993362321_586262321_2305023_7416689_n

And we had Ramen…

All along I thought that Kartina’s name is unique. Who know’s in Taiwan, there’s a brand of chips which’s named after her.

5851_108993342321_586262321_2305020_1170522_n

The English name differs, just pay attention to the Chinese one.

Back in Secondary School days, those Ah Bengs in her class called her ‘ Kan Ni Nah‘. It’s in Hokkien, which means ‘Fuck Your Mum’. Yes! It’s very crude but like I said, Bengs!

5851_108993367321_586262321_2305024_1462428_n

Our one and only group shot of the day… Too bad Xiao Ge is out in the sea. He couldn’t join us. What a drag!

It’s my first visit to ION Orchard. May I say that it’s ginormous? There’s just so many shops, and no, we didn’t managed to ‘conquer’ all due to 3 reasons…

1) I’m limping with Kenny and Lanny

2) Sharon having problem with her waist ( Too much sex, Genki said )

3) The whole place is fucking packed

… I shall go there early on a weekday to visit every floor. haha…

5851_108993372321_586262321_2305025_3338292_n

Finally… Found a pair of shades that really suits my big face, but no, I didn’t buy it. Kartina was the one who tried it first. I decided to join in the fun and Viola! It fits~ $36 @ Topshop! My 09 09 09 birthday is approaching! Anyone? Haha…

I’m surprised to learn that there’s a link from ION Orchard to Wheelock Place. We wanted to slack @ NYDC but the maximum they could gave us was a table for 4, and we had 5. So we proceeded to Coffeeclub which is a level down.

5851_108997267321_586262321_2305174_3700233_n

* And the SEXIEST Arse award goes to… *

We checked out the crowd level from level 2 first. And Kartina asked us to FREEZE ( which we really did ) while she took a picture.

5851_108997292321_586262321_2305178_5779792_n

With my favorite Chocolate Delice

5851_108997302321_586262321_2305179_7005255_n

And of course, don’t tell people that you have been to Coffee Club before, unless you’d tried the Mudpie. Angelia ( MY’s Sis ) and Hui Ping were the ones who had intro this to me. I in turn, spread the love around to Sharon they all. Muahaha…

5851_108997312321_586262321_2305181_7544653_n

Kartina suddenly stood up and said that she’s going to get something and will be back in a jest.

5851_108997322321_586262321_2305182_5338324_n

And she came back with this. I can’t remember what’s the name of the shop but it’s directly opposite to where NYDC is. This baby is called ‘Spike D’, I think. The content is Durian  ( D24, accoording to Kartina ).

5851_108997347321_586262321_2305184_5087637_n

A Whatsit Pie! My virgin try! We have 2 Assistant Manager working in F and B line ( Yes! Genki and Ying Mei, I’m refering to you both ) and yet, they leave it to the limp to do the slicing! Sharon did helped you say? “I help you support the sides with the spoon while you cut!”  she offered. And that’s a very major role she played… Haha

We were supposed to go for an overseas trip together to celebrate our 12 years of friendship! However, I’d to opt out, due to the condition of my kneecap.

They couldn’t seem to decide on a location, therefore, Kartina came out with this brilliant idea of writing out the possible locations on pieces of paper. Then we will each draw one, and the last one left will be THE ONE!

5851_108997362321_586262321_2305187_7642693_n

Ying Mei is just so glad that they ain’t going Tibet. Bloody Kartina says that if they are going, they be praying for me over there.

5851_108997372321_586262321_2305188_6906090_n

China is out of the picture too.

I’m given the honor to draw 2 lots. Genting and Maldives are out also.

Which left us with…

Ko Samui.

We spent the next hour or 2 in Borders looking through travelling guides.

Dinner @ Lim Peh’s Home with Yuan Feng, Zhong Sheng and Yu Jin

Of all the original 10 fellow Charlie Spec-mates, I’m still in touch with 8 of them. Not forget to mention, Ming Yong, one of my best pal is from there.

Lubin, Bong and Jordan met up @ my home today. Reason being simple, I can’t go out! Haha… I tried to get Cheng Lim, he’s still in Chicago. Both Ming Yong and Ming Jin are working. Desmond is busy with his events and Frank is having one of his social engagement.

Later, I found out from Bong the reason for him being only able to turn up @ 7pm is coz he’s working as an intern, part of his scholarship. Not a choice but it’s compulsory.

While waiting for Bong, we watched films to kill time. I emerged from my room with 2 choices,

The Brothers Grimm

Brothers_grimm_movie_poster

 or Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within.

Final_fantasy_ver1

We agreed on the former.

Halfway through, we decided to shut it as a) Jordan is getting bored, b) Lubin had already fallen asleep and c) I’m getting restless. The show is VERY boring. Kinda disappointing, as the male leads are Matt Damon and Heath Ledger. Both are supposed to deliver good shows. Maybe it’s due to a lame script. Luckily, I bought it @ Cash Converter for $2. I’m so going to sell it back to them. Haha.

It was then I remembered Maine passed me 2 DVDs before I went for the operation,

Vantage Point

Vantage_point_08

and The Bucket List.

Bucket_list_poster

 We’d decided to go for the former as it seems promising. No offense to you, The Bucket List. I’d read and heard about the good reviews. I will watch you another time.

Vantage point is DAMN good. Where was I when it was screening in the cinema? I can’t believed that I’d actually missed such a good show. And Sigourney Weaver is in the first 15 mins already. I’d been a fan after watching her in Alien Quadralogy (Get away from her, YOU BITCH!) and Copycat. Though her role in this show is quite forgettable, still it’s her. Haha… I love the way the film was being shot. I’m not going to spoil it for you here, go catch it yourself.

Bong arrived around 645pm. I haven’t seen him for a long time, the last time was before we went to US for his studies. It was great to see him again. And he’s ’serving’ his intern around NUH, which is a good thing. Since I will be going to NUH for review this coming Monday, a lunch meet up was set. I will try Desmond again, since his campus is in NUS. Haha…

We had Pizza and KFC for dinner. Since we couldn’t get through the KFC hotline, Lubin sacrificed and went down to Bukit Panjang Plaza to get it. The good thing? We saved $3 of the delivery charge. Jordan readily offered to stay to keep me company. However, we all knew that he’s just being lazy. Haha…

And I almost killed him today. I was explaining to him what the doctors had did to me for the 3rd operation, ” They took 1cm bone from here ( pointing to my left lower leg) and put it right here (pointing to my left kneecap )!”

“Does that means that you are 1cm shorter?” He asked.

… See what I meant?

Haha… Still he’ll be flying off tomorrow back to Sydney for studies. It won’t be till December that I get to see him again.

Thanks for visiting the limp~

Lao Hu Cha

On the evening that I was discharged, Maternal Small Aunt and family popped by my home with home-cooked meal while Maternal 2nd Aunt bought me a box of Polleney ‘Essence of Black Fish with American Ginseng’ ( Trust me! It taste like fuck! But I will finished it because it’s supposed to be good for the leg ), a bag of 3 in 1 Milo ( Woohoo~ I’m a fan of Milo ever since those hospital stay ) and a bag of 3 in 1 Nestum Cereal ( Just nice for supper ).

Last night ( Sunday), Maternal Big Uncle and family dropped by for a surprise visit. I was damn stunned. Coz unless it’s Chinese New Year, or major happenings e.g. funeral, else we seldom meet up. I adore his 8 year old daughter. The same girl who shocked me on Chinese New Year by singing Leona Lewis ‘Bleeding Love’. Back in those years, all I knew how to sing was ‘It’s I who build Community’.

The new generation. They just scare you, dont they?

My Mum whom also haven’t seen her elder brother for quite a while, asked him about that wound on his leg. He had a minor accident back then and apparently the wound is still there, with a square piece of dressing covered over it.

Mum asked, “Is it healing?”

Uncles replied, “Those things that usually go through slow processes will turn out with the best results!”

-_______________-” That’s my Uncle!

He once said that drinking Tiger beer is actually not bad for the body as it’s just a normal intake of malt and that Tiger beer is actually called Tiger Tea = Lao Hu Cha.

Haha~

Shokudo, Transformers and Obessed

Shokudo for dinner. The one @ Heeren. I was shocked to see the new facelift of the entire level. The last time that I was actually there was during a Poly Gathering with Lifen, Zhi Hao and Regina. My god! And that was so before I got enlisted.

Thought to have the Rosti, but I was put off at the sight of the miserable serving portion. Yes! It had shrunk! To play safe, but still want to try out new things, I went with Tonkatsu Rice. Haha… I thought that Tonkatsu is Salmon, which is so wrong by the way. I asked Ben Woon what’s the word for Salmon in Japanese ( You see? He frequent Shokudo ). He said, “Salmon!”

-_-” I’m such a yo-yo!

I was standing in front of the counter with that small slip of receipt, waiting to get my Tonkatsu. Before this, I was queuing in front of the Unisex. It’s either I’m being very paraniod or that I really did heard it. It seems like someone was in there punching walls. I tried my luck at the knob. Viola! It was locked.

… Between a filled-bladder and my precious life! I decided that I loved myself more. I fled the scene and go for my Tonkatsu instead.

Anyway, in between slicing the meat, the S.A (Sales Assistant ) wore a worried look and kept asking another colleague of his, whether is the meat cooked.

… How I know? Though I’m not an expert in reading lips, but you certainly don’t have to be an expert to read signs and symptoms. What else can they be transversing in between slicing meat, looking at that meat and talking over hushed tones?

Since being a bitch ain’t my forte, I decided to suck it up and make do with whatever given to me.

… NOT ONLY WAS THE MEAT COOK, IT WAS DAMN SUPER DUPER TASTY! There isn’t a yucky after taste. I decided to go back for more, once I recovered from operation. Shirmaine, if you are reading this, YES! You are so going with me.

I ordered Rosti also, for old times sake. Still edible but disappointing. Haha…

The 4 of us shared a Green Tea Ice Kachang and a Tofu Cheesecake. I will give 9/10 for both desert. Both Ben and Huiping was disappointed by the ‘height’ of the Ice Kachang. They claimed that it’s not at it’s usual peak. I asked them whether does it really matters.

Ben Woon said, “Of course it matters! If they give us a tall one…”

“it means that we will get more ingredients and syrups!” Huiping continued.

I’m shocked by how they finished each other sentences off. MY and I threw our head back with laughter. This thought never come across my mind.

The selling point of the Green Tea Ice Kachang is that the red beans is very tasty, or shall I say tasted unique. It’s not very sweet, but yet sweet at the same time ( okay I know I sound idiot! ). The green tea syrup is also not very sweet, yet sweet at the same time? Muahaha…

The Tofu-Cheesecake is cheap and nice. IT doesn’t have that very strong cheese taste. YOu can always have a second slice without feeling the urge to vomit. lolz…

After dinner, we watched Transformer 2. It’s offical! I fell in love with Megan Foxx, only that she doesn’t know. Muahaha… She’s hot to the very max. I wonder why 8-days gave only 2.5 stars for this movie? It deserves more than that.

Since we be paying for midnight charge already, we decided not to waste it and went to watch Obessed. Ali Larter protrayal of a delusional stalker is very good. The catfight towards the end is very MEOW~… haha

Lunch with aSh~

Have to impose another ‘fast’ on myself.

I’m officially staying away from Xing Wang for the next few weeks too.

That lucky Ashley managed to secure an OT slot yesterday. Over MSN, we agreed to meet up for lunch @ Yew Tee’s Xing Wang. Apparently, those pictures featured on my Xing Wang post made her drooled. The sky was rather dark yesterday. However, that bitch told me that even if it rains, I will have to take a cab down to meet her. Yes! that’s how desperate she needed to satisfied her curry crave. Lolz…

As usual, I ordered the usual. It was a nice and joyful lunch. We updated each other on our un-glam life. Haha…

She whispered to me that she has a friend, who has a guy friend, who is a year younger then me and like me, is still a V.

… I demanded to know that why she had to whisper in regards to that kind of V issue. She gamely replied that, “You want me to say it out loud?”

I immediately stopped her. Har-lo?  It’s public, and I don’t really need people to know ( Shirmaine started singing ‘Like a Virgin’ over dinner @ Cineleisure Pastamania, the other time )

We also touched on the topic of gals wearing mini-skirt to club. There’s a history to this topic. When going through Modified SPEC 2 in SMTI, Ming Jin shared with me that gals who are more ‘zhi ai’ will wear pants instead of mini skirt when clubbing. And those who wear mini-skirts are usually the ones the ones who are looking for ‘trouble’.

Ashley told me that she shared this thought with her gal pals and surprisingly, they agreed too.

After done slacking in Yew Tee, we switched turf to Jurong Point, coz we were too lazy to head downtown and it’s kind of early to call it a day. Anyway, Jurong Point is the new Orchard nowadays. Too bad there isn’t a Kinokuniya and HMV.

And we watched Star Trek. I’m not really a fan. Thought that I will be lost in the show. BUT, it turned out to be good and funny. Totally ‘caught me off guard’. Had been a long time since a movie surprises me. Haha…

Angels and Demons, Night in the Museum next.

And when the fuck will OBSESSED screen?

Staying Away

Xing Wang with the Kees @ Marina Square on the 9th, last Saturday, followed by KTV session~

I’m really staying away from KTV for the next few weeks… Mushaha

3rd Time?

Had to meet up with Natalie on the 5th, last Tuesday, to pass her my MC. What to do? HR need the REAL copy urgently and they don’t accept fax copy. It’s kind of ridiculous on how inflexible they can get. Like who will go fracture their kneecap just to get Hopitalisation Leave?

Since MY is living around the neighbourhood, I asked him if he’s keen to slack the afternoon together. Surprisingly, MJ was also in the neighbourhood. He in turn suggested KTV ( again )  because ‘What else can you do?’

… How brutal!

So that’s my 3rd KTV for the week…

I need to go on a KTV fasting

Dinner with Ash and Nat

*Screaming*

Managed only 2 hours of sleep and here I am blogging @ 4.46 am. Must be that cup of green tea before bed. I had just finished watching the latest episode of gossip girls and is currently into episode 19 of Fringe (Yes! It’s currently on pause in another window.)

Dinner with Ashley and Natalie on 3rd of May, Sunday @ LOT 1. We went Jap and had Sakae Sushi. It was a relatively easy choice because it’s rather diet friendly. Yes! Ashley is on a diet and given my current situation, I also try not to gorge much, therefore, I’m on the same boat with Ashley too. The Diet boat. However, once in a frequent while, we will kill it with our all time favorite sinful indulge, a curry puff from Old Chang Kee. Lolz…

Prior this, Ashley had already informed me to be thankful as she had gave up a gym session to have dinner with me. I told her NO ONE, unless gay, will gym on a happy Sunday evening. Haha… That’s just for laugh of course.

I’m surprised to see a queue forming outside Sakae. Hello? Whatever had happended to recession? The dark and gloomy times where all should be tightening their belts, living on practically air and porridge (And call into ‘BILLS’ hotline once a month to complain that they are unable to pay their bill but still be thickskin enough to request to use the service and sink deeper into the already piled up debt ). Ashley told me with a faraway look in her eyes, “It hasn’t hit Singapore yet!”

Luckily, we didn’t have to wait for long. We go Ala Carte. ( P.S. Each of us paid $35 each )

Throughout dinner, we were debating whether is one of the staff is gay. To kill our curiosity, I ask Ashley to grope him. If it’s an erection she felt, coast clear.

-_-” that bitch turned the table on me and dare me instead.

That’s kind of sick. What if he’s really one and moan from pleasure instead of throwing me a punch in the face?

That crazy woman actually suggested that we should try this ‘DARE; when clubbing. Her get-away-with-it line? “Oops! Sorry! Wrong guy”

Haha…

Movie with the Kees

Watched Wolverine with the Kees on the 2nd of May, last Saturday, @ GV Vivocity. Not that it’s some kind of accomplishment but I watched the Trilogy via the Big Screen.

X-Men was with Sharon, Yi Ying and Genki @ Plaza Singapura in 2000.

X2 was with Zhi Jian, Wei Long and Lian Jie back in  2003 @ GV Jurong Point.

X-Men: The Last Stand was with my Sispec Buddies, Yong Jie, Siong Hern and Koong Woei @ GV Plaza Singapura in 2006.

Conclusion? I’m a fan of GV Cinema. Muahaha.

Luckily, Hui Ping was smart enough to book the tickets online first. Due to the fact that she holds a ‘co-brand’ credit card, we managed to get a 4 for 3 movie tix special.

Tan dio~

Shuang~

n1018479713_30439840_5696227

Had Carls Jr for dinner. Another one of my supposing monthly indulge, which I failed to fulfil on a monthly basis -_-

Anyway, it’s recession. Think I should just keep those expensive treats to like once every quarter. Chicken rice and wanton mee seem so delicious~

… And cheap~ Haha…

Ermm better not. I still need my frequent dosage of Xing Wang’s curry and Carls Jr Beef Chilli Cheese Fries…

Carl’s Jr wasn’t exactly Angelia’s favorite. However, MY and I had a crave for it that day. Since I’m the injured one ( something of sob sob usually score a point which = you can have your way ), M.Y leave it to me to call for the suggestion so he won’t be ‘kick’ by Er Jie. Haha…

We were shocked to find out that it was Hui Ping’ virgin try -_-” haha…
