Anybody Home?

By the way, if you haven't noticed, I haven't been blogging here for a damn long time.

I've already moved to a new blog url.

Do contact me if you want the new url.

Pek Cek Day

Super sleepy now!

Bloody hell... The invention of a doorbell is pretty useless leh. Cause I can stay home for half a day, waiting for my modem to be delivered and when it was delivered, the person apparently didn't press the doorbell and assumed no one was home after knocking.

So stupid lah... The door (under HDB's regulation, has been changed to those kinds which are sort called fireproof) which are obviously thick. When you knock, either the knocking will not be as loud or you will have sore knuckles.

Then I thought that the ISP would be sending their own dispatch person to deliver the modem. So I called them to check on delivery status since it was after the selected time. Then after that they helped me call Singpost and status came back saying they left a note on the door.

Really lor.. It feels so dumb to be asking them that question. Like my door is very far away and I'm too lazy to go check. But seriously, how would I know if my door is closed and there wasn't any sound.

They offered to resend the modem. But then I think of it, if they were to resend tomorrow, it might just having history repeat itself again. So I opted to self collect. Bah!

Anyway, I tried to retrieve data from my old com. Dad's been wanting to get it out of the house since its just taking up space. But the darn thing couldn't start up. Couldn't detect this, this fail, blah blah.

I even opened up the stupid CPU to see if it could be a loose wire. TMD!!! Still cannot work. Was super pek cek that I just wanted to smash the damn thing.
Actually it would be quite fun won't it?
Its so punk rock lor.. Where they just smash stuff after using them. Coolness to the m-a-x!
*Light bulb! *
Ok... Will do that soon. Since I can't retrieve my data, must make sure its properly destroyed so that if any geeks pick up the pieces, they won't be able to access it.
Niak ha haa...

Either my modem, my internet network or my msn itself sucks big time. My messages are either not sent or I don't receive them. Its frustrating. Hate it hate it hate it!

Ahhh... I'm really sleepy. Ok.. I'm gonna change and nap a while before I head up to godma's place for a nice home-cooked meal.
Ginger chickennnnn... Mmmm... Yum yum!

Pool

Worked in same mall as Ch today. After work, we wanted to go for bak chor mee.
But earlier at work, I kinda sneak out to buy drink cause I was feeling damn happy that I hit target (daily one only lah.. month's target I'm way way down). Sue also had craving for flavored drink.
Anyway, by the time I finished my drink and we walked to Bugis, food didn't seem tempting already.
So we agreed to skip supper and take the bus back.

On the bus...
Me: Ehh... Want to play pool?
Ch: Now then say.. Just now we could have gone to play in Bugis lor...
Me: Aiyahh... Just feel like it now mah.
Ch: I don't like Plaza's one lah.
Me: K... Don't go lor.
Ch: Next time lah...
-talking bout other stuff-
Suddenly, in the middle of topic...
Me: Ehhh... Play pool leh...
Ch: Ahh k lah k lah... Go plaza lah.
Me: Yayye...

And so we went... I think pool very interesting leh. I'm getting quite addicted to it. Hahahaaa...
There's more to just shooting the balls into the holes. Must learn to plan for the next shot also. But that is of course, after you learn how to aim and shoot lah... This part alone is already quite tricky. There's lots of ways to hold the cue, which part of the ball to aim, which part of the cue ball to hit. How much strength to use.
I'm learning. I'm learning! Slowly but surely.
=P

Mood Swings

This has been on my mind for some time already... Has been bugging me for a bit.

Recently, I'm back to something.
But its not like the last time leh. This time seems to affect me a quite a bit more.

I've been drinking like close to 3 ltr of water each day. Mouth very dry lor... Just keep drinking and visiting the toilet. Hahaha... My colleagues think I'm weird.

Been having lots of mood swings. Feeling grouchy, moody, tired, whatever shitty feeling. The last time was still quite controllable. But like I said, this round seems to affect me more. Sometimes I just lose it, so the person who happens to piss me off a little, will get it back real bad.

One incident, this friend was going through a tough time. At first, I was like ok and consoling blah blah... But days later, friend was still brooding over it and still didn't have the mood for anything. The two of us and another friend had sort of planned some activity for that day already.
So the night before the activity, tried to arrange with my friend but all I got was "I don't know" answers to almost everything. Got me a little pissed, but never mind, I endured cause I told myself friend was going through rough time.
The day itself, kept on calling and sms to find out details. But friend seemed to have MIA, then finally called back and still gave me the "I don't know" answers.
Ended the call and called the other friend who was asking what was the plans. So that friend indirectly also got a bit of attitude from me. =X
Was like saying stuff like to just don't go lah, since friend everything don't know and can't be bothered.
Then other friend went to call friend and friend called me after that. Friend suddenly seemed to have snapped out of 'lost world' and seemed more enthu about the activity. But then I was already pissed. So I was scolding and scolding and even more scolding during the conversation.
Ok.. I must admit, it felt damn good to let it out lah...
But after that, I felt damn bad. Very guilty lor.
Imagine you are experiencing some bad times and you still get scolded for feeling rotten. Makes you feel worst right?
Shitt... I know I was in the wrong lah. Shouldn't have done that.

What would you do if you were that friend?
Would you just let me rant it out and try to calm me down?
Would you even bother to continue talking to me?
Would you just hang up the phone and don't bother anymore?

Friend: Aiyoo... You know that I'm just affected by what happened right? I'm ok now, so what time shall we meet?
Me: -scoldings and more scoldings-
Friend: Ehh... Don't like that lahh... Sorry, alright? Blah blah blah

I think my friend is super nice...
Really!

Glad to have this person as a friend.
=)
If my friend ever reads this, sorry for erupting and thank you for your approach to the situation.

Prata For You?

Wahh... Yet another 2 hours to kill...

Supper has been getting interesting these couple of days leh...

Last night, while Sam accompanied Aus to his place to get the car, I took a train down to meet them at a Eunos station.

Anyway, they literally drove from one end to the other end of the island. Lots of detouring.

Decided we would head to Changi Village for Nasi Lemak. But Jav called and he didn't want to go there cause hard to go back after that.

So after a lot of "where are you", "where will be more convenient to spot you" blah blah blah, we managed to pick him up.
But not before wasting a wee bit of petrol. Haha...

Since we were at AMK. But didn't know what was nice over there for supper; we decided to head over to Jalan Kayu for prata.
Prata was filling... They overestimate themselves; ordered 3 each. Hahaha... In the end, can't finish everything. Wastful people...

Then we were searching for Seletar Airport. Said its supposed to be around Yio Chu Kang area.

So I thought it was the one which I would pass when I had driving.
But apparently it wasn't. So we went off.
Then I thought it was the one near Eunos. We cruised there and realized that that was actually Paya Lebar Airport.

Bahh... Anyway, pretty tired already, so we decided to call it a day.
Aus dropped me off first. Then he sent Jav back via expressway. They said they saw the Seletar Airport from there.
Haiyo! I didn't get to see it. Never mind, next time.

-Digress-
Someone brought dried mango from Thailand... Its damn nice lah! I'm so hooked lor.. Hahaha...
Plus its so boring here... My mind strays a lot and I keep thinking of the yellow beauty.
-End of digressing-

Eeee... My sales today sucks lah! Why like thatttttt!!!
Huurrrr....

Supper @ Geylang

Blogging for saturday...

Back at Vivo again... I have like 2 hours to countdown to. Nah hee ha...

Last night's supper was good! Good partly cause we went further than our usual nearby places.
Lifang went to take her hubby's car then came back to pick me & Ch.

Decided to go further... But then, how far?
Steamboat buffet at Bugis?
Go see whats at Chinatown?
Frog porridge at Geylang.

All seemed tempting, but traffic was a big turn off.

Anyway, we decided to go Geylang.

There are actually lots of stalls selling Kermit's meat. But they said that's one of the nicer ones, also more ex.
There weren't a lot of 'people' to see. Perhaps that time was the peak period where most of them would be 'engaged' already.
Hahaha...

We also ordered hot plate deer meat and oyster omelette.
The deer meat was a little spicy. Quite nice I must say!
I wish the omelette was more crispy though. But the chili sauce made up for it lah.
The porridge was good too! Very thick. Then when the sauce from the frog with spring onion sauce was added generously, it tasted heavenly...

Maybe I was easily satisfied cause I was quite moody earlier on. Heh...
So anything nice would be magnified.

Then after all the food, we still went for beancurd. The you tiao from the shop looks really good lah! Almost every table seems to have at least one.
Too bad, I was already quite full and neither of them wanted, so can't share.
Skip it lor... =(

-Digress-
Here is so damn boring! The phone is also so quiet. Hahaa.. Nobody calls to enquire stuff.
Ooo... Here comes the cleaner! Must throw some food stuff away. Smells pretty off already. Someone bought it and left it in the cupboard since yesterday wor!
-End of digressing-

Bahhh... After working retail, I think my bio clock is kinda screwed up.
Going for supper very often after work, which would be considered as my dinner lah. Cause my lunch is what others would call dinner.

Ohh ya... The other day when I was at RC. We were too free and everyone was standing around chit chatting.
From bags, shopping, and erm... other things lah.
There's a whole new meaning to LV.
I'm like the only one who hasn't LV-ed. Hahaha...
Is it that surprising?
Is it a must?
Like a social stigma in the industry if you haven't LV-ed.
But then again.. Like I care like that.

Wheee... Later going for supper again. Supposed to meet for Swensens. But plans changed cause I'll only knock off at 10pm. Aus & Sam ending half hour earlier. They said they'll go back to get car first, then pick me up and we'll go find place to makan.
Cool... Supper away from town stretch again...
Which end of the island shall we explore?

Patrick's Bday Chalet

Back from Patrick's Bday Party...

The chili for the bee hoon was damn power! I likeeeee...

At first it was only grouping amongst ourselves and just gossiping. Got a little bored of it and wanted to go check if there was anything nice at the arcade or maybe go bowling. They were closing. Darnn!
Anyway it started to rain lah.. So we were sort of stuck at the lobby area for some time.

Then we went back to the chalet and the drinking began!
Patrick's concoction of vodka is deadly lor...
Made sure everyone drank some more!
1st round was on the rocks.
2nd, 3rd, 4th was with Sprite. The Sprite was the only bottle left, it was like damn damn precious that the amount added in was probably less than half each time.

Did I mention that a lot of us didn't know we had to drink so much? So while eating, we've already downed some beer? So now vodka... Bad bad mix...

Then some people had to sabo me lah...
Announced to everyone that I'm a good drinker who can hold alcohol well blah blah blah...
Shit!
Pat made sure I never missed a round of weird concoction.

Sprite ran out... Used lemon tea syrup. At least when the bday boy wasn't looking, they quickly added a lot of ice and syrup to the drink.

Then vodka ran out...
I siam the drinking area after I silently slipped to the "ban luck" area and quietly sit behind Jav & Wy to see them play.
Wine was next.
Again I was sabo and Pat don't want to let me off... So came over and dragged me back to drink.
Ohh bloody hell...
Drank 2 cups.

After drinking so much weird concoctions, beer and wine, I still wasn't drunk. Not even high... My head wasn't even heavy unlike the other day at St James. Still drank as fast, in fact, faster cause we didn't even play anything. It was just drinking round after round.
But I was already trying to keep as quiet as possible so that I won't be made to drink anymore. Must keep low profile lor... Later anyhow say I never drink enough and must drink more to give face.

A lot of colleagues cannot take it already... So quickly said that they need to leave cause next day most have to work.

Supposed to hitch a ride out to catch a cab only. But then, Jas's bf took a wrong turn and the most convenient place to let us off would be at Parkway. Ha.. That's like traveling so far off lah.

Some coincidences when I had my family gathering.
1. It was at the same place, and very same unit.
The units were not really filled at all. A few more nearer to entrance which wasn't occupied.
But both times, it had to be at unit 4!
Hmmmm...

2. Both times, it started to drizzle only when I was walking to the reception. Once I'm there... it pours damn heavily that I'm stuck there for some time.
Righttt...

3. Both times after leaving the place and heading to the road home, the drivers miss the turn and end up detouring somewhere else.

Freaky coincidence? I don't know... Perhaps ba. Or maybe I'm just thinking too much.
Ohh well...

Overnight Mahjong

Just came back from overnight mahjong session.

Same opponents, colleague, friend, and colleague's brother.
We didn't play with money cause I'm just a noob and I don't wish to waste money if I know they are so pro. Hahaha...

Anyway, by the time we started playing after dinner cum supper and all, it was already midnight. I was on a winning streak and they were not able to "shift wind". They were also damn dulan cause their cards all form till so big waiting for cards to kill everyone and then I just game with 1 or 2 tais.

Haiyo... All the words they use, what ping hu, ban se, or even how they count and all that. I really have no idea. Then have to keep on asking them to explain to me. Right... I did have some difficulties even understanding the name of the each tiles sets. Worst was the wind direction, I kept confusing myself with word and the character. Like I would think nan is the bei's character, vice versa.

We literally played overnight...
Started after midnight, ended only bout 5.30am.
Didn't really wanna sleep yet, so chatted with friend till bout 7am while colleague went to sleep. We were feeling hungry lor... So I went to disturb people from their sleep but I was clearly ignored after that.

11am onwards till 1pm, I kept on waking up every one hour and would go to their room to see if they are up. Obviously not lah... Then I'll go back and sleep till I couldn't sleep anymore.

Went for lunch which was already prepared by colleague's mother. Then rested for a while before we started our round 2 at bout 3-ish. Played till bout 6 plus then we left.

Actually I want to go and take a nap before I meet Grace, Hj, Xl & Yl for supper. But plans change cause I'm meeting the friend to satisfy chicken chop craving.

Right... Just nice timing. I'm going off for my dinner/supper.

Mega Entry

BORED! BORED! BORED!!!

Ahhhh... Save me pleaseeeeee...

Another 2 hours to closing and I"m all alone. Wanted to buy magazine to read, but I forgot.

Now all that's left to accompany me is a bar of Hershey's Cookies & Cream Chocolate which Lyna bought just now cause she was too bored and feeling hungry. Hahaha...

Hmm... Ohh that reminds me, I was too bored so I actually drew a portrait using PAINT.

Its kinda amaturish though... But what to do? I'm only able to draw using whatever pathetic tools PAINT offers.

Last night... Went St James' with Gin + Kurt & Ch. Js was supposed to go, but due to unforseen circumstances, she didn't go ahead with us.

I lost pretty badly at the game of 5-10. But what to do? I was playing solo while the 2 of them were playing tag team. Forfeit was to drink beer.
The mug was emptied pretty quick.

Something damn wrong lah. Normally I can drink 1 pint of Hoegaarden and I'm still super sober.
Eg., just last night went ICB, drank 1 pint and still kope some of Ch's Stella, yet I was still able to walk straight and was very normal.

Perhaps working, then go drinking, then next morning go work and after that go drinking again just equates to lack of sleep and quite tired .

So don't need to say also know lah...
Lack of sleep + boredom from work + alcohol being consumed faster than you can recite your name 100 times = HIGH!!

Won't say that I was drunk cause I was still aware of what was going on around me.
No, I didn't puke.
Just that my head felt damn damn heavy!

I just wanted to lie down and sleep...
But Ch didn't let me. Kept on saying I shouldn't lie down blah blah blah...

Couldn't dance much due to space constrains unless you would like to term our movements as wriggling around?
People kept wanting to cut through and it was rather irritating.

Suggested to go for prata!
Getting out of there for some fresh air was really helpful. I felt so much better and my head wasn't feeling that heavy anymore.

Hmm... Yup yup, so we've explored most of the rooms in St James'. Just left a few more lah...

Perhaps next time...

Cabbed home after that and went to sleep...
For only bout 2 hours!
Woke up superb early cause I had to attend mass.

Can't go for a later time slot cause I'm schedule to work at noon.
Some irritating reason that I've never worked morning shift in Vivo before so I won't know what to do blah blah blahh...
Which is of course, total bullshit lah...
Come on lor... Which outlet I was't given an am shift not long after I start at the outlet without anyone to guide me? All I got was instructions the day before on what are the things to do and where to find the cleaning stuff.

Haiyah... Whatever lah... I hate 'it'. Chao tweety...
Anyway, I'm damn tired now lah... 2 hours of sleep, and today I have to do OT for 2 hours...

-Digress-

Its 8.52pm lo...
Still got another hour to go!
Shall blog bout thursday..

Conz wanted to treat me to a meal for my birthday. I know, I know, my bday was like way back in december lah...

Just that we're too busy or the time wasn't really right, So we've been postponing and postponing till now!
She asked whether I wanted to go Pasta Cafe or Royal Copenhagen.
Pasta Cafe was the safer option lah... She didn't want to ruin the treat should the food turn out not up to standard. Hahaha...

But then Royal Copenhagen is known for using classy cutlery and china ware. Seems quite atas.
Obviously I chose that lah... Duhhh...
Hahahaa...

To totally get into the tai tai mood, we even went for the high tea.
I was busy snapping pics of each dish as they were served.

Overall, the food was alright... but won't say the best lah...
Ambience and service was good..

See pics...

Her open sandwich


My fish chowder


My salmon fillet


My cake that she's eyeing on...


Her cakes


Her drink & other condiments.

After our high tea, shopped around a bit before we went our seperate ways.

Went to Bishan to get some good stuff. Hee hee...

Ch insisted on meeting me cause he was hungry.

It was raining super heavily that my legs all wet, shoes all soaked. I went to buy 2 pairs of slippers.
1st pair normal price, 2nd pair at 10bucks... Cannot resist one you know...

Instead of going to eat immediately, we went to play pool at Bugis.
I suck at pool lor! My aiming is like shit. I break the balls like I've not eaten in a year and lack energy.
The good thing bout playing with Ch is that winning isn't everything. So I don't really get trashed, then not so demoralizing... Hahaha...
Its a learning and training process.

After that went to eat dinner/supper with Jav. That idiot damn jian... Always make 2 of us go wherever he is to meet him. Then after meeting, was quite late already. I wanted to have prata! But he doesn't want to walk there..

On wednesday, went to watch 251 at the Esplanade. Its a local production. Yogs managed to get extra tix for me.. But she didn't go in the end. =(
Went with Ch.
Anyway, its my first time I'm actually attending a play lor! Feeling a bit sua ku. Hahaha...
Very interesting play. Its about the life of Anabelle Chong, the local porn star. They actually gave out envelopes as door gifts and the content was a condom... Hahaha...

Ohh my my, its 9.30pm!!!

Just nice, I've also finished my Hershey's.

Shall end off here then. I can take my own sweet time to pack up.

Rapture's Gig

Had my off day yesterday, so I went up to Godma's place to help her take some pictures. Play with Maxie then went for dinner at Crystal Jade.

2 of us, ordered quite a lot of stuff I must say! Really very full after that lor.

Supposed to meet Ch bout 8pm but was still halfway through dinner only. So had to delay... Hahaha...

Anyway, went to collect my thumb drive at work place, cause silly me forgot to bring it home.

Walk to MSQ to waste time cause we didn't want to go Zouk so early.

While I was buying water, he asked if I brought my IC. Punk-ed him when I said I didn't bring cause I knew he so badly wanted to go Zouk. The Rapture were having a live performance and he was so looking forward to watch it. Hahahaa!!!
Left him in a dilemma whether to skip the gig and accompany me elsewhere, or go in just for the gig and leave me outside for that one hour then quickly come out after that, or try to find ways to go in where they won't check id.

He was about to call some of his friends to probably let me get in somehow lah. But I didn't want the prank to go too far and trouble so many people, so I suggested we just go there and try. If really can't go in, I'll just sit at the bar outside alone for that hour and wait.

But when we went there, they actually didn't check cause we went in via different entrance. Wasn't so strict. He was damn happy. But I wasn't cause I couldn't continue my prank. Damn...
But never mind, at least I made him kan cheong for almost an hour. Heh heh...
I'm sadistic.

Anyway, some pics taken at the gig...

The band...


Member's individual shots






A nice rock gig shot...


The crowd leaving to go for the after party at Velvet's side.


Just a random pic of the lights

No tripod, just steady hands! Hee hee...

Anyway, I spent most of the time playing with my camera settings trying to find the right one for this kind of night shot. By the time I got it, the gig was already about to end.
Bahhh...
I should practice more night shots.
