Trees good and bad

Singapore plants a lot of trees along the road. It's a good thing, provides nice shades, make the place looks greener, etc etc...

But today I took bus and I got irritated by it. Not say trees' fault, it's I dumb dumb and lazy anyway. The usual bus I take to work is a double decker one, but sometimes it will be a single deck. No idea why, but it's just so. On the double decker bus, I'll sit at those sideway seats. And on the single deck bus, there won't be seats left for me.

But hey! Today there's lotsa seats! So I sat down at the front section, the part where the 2 seats facing each other. That's one of the best seat because of its spacious leg room. Then I realised how bad the choice was. Apparently, the sunlight was projecting in and affecting only my side of the bus. Sucks...

And you thought the trees would help or something right? NO! It made it worse! The trees don't block off the sunlight completely. In between the leaves there's holes, between tree to tree there's gaps. So imagine... You sleeping in a dark room. Then someone kept switching on and off the lights in fast interval. On off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off. How irritated will you be? Yeah...

But still, I was lazy to move liao, so I sat there and got irritated myself. Hahahaha... Nevertheless, being well-trained during my NS life, I mastered the skill to sleep anywhere anytime under any circumstances. I still fell asleep in the end. MUAHAHAHAHAAA! But the keypoint is I was irritated, VERY irritated at one point. =\

Anyway, I'm just doing random ranting. Ignore me please. Hahahahahaha! This isn't my first time experiencing this, but it's just that I actually remembered to complain this time round.

Troubling Others Might Not Be Bad

Sometimes, you are actually troubling others by not troubling them. =\ Understand?

Because you think you don't want to trouble people, so you decided to do and solve things on your own. But while doing so, you are actually troubling them in another way because they don't know your progress, and what if no result is produced in the end?

Try to share a bit. Burden isn't all yours. There are people around to take them for you.

Be it at work or family stuff or whatever, don't worry to bother people!!

Hmmmm... Maybe I should start to seek help from my team lead.

Relive the Japan Trip

We actually wanted to meet up on 1st July to celebrate our Japan Trip 1 year anniversary. LOL. But apparently not everyone can make it. So Daji suggested 1 week later, because that was the day Zm joined us. Hoho haha. That's so funny.

During that period, we were in Osaka. And while in Osaka, one of the most memorable experience was cooking our own okonomiyaki. Thus, the dinner shall be DIY okonomiyaki!

Finding a restaurant selling okonomiyaki isn't tough. But to find one that let you DIY in Singapore, that's quite a feat. Luckily Daji managed to found 1 and suggested that to us. Sumomo at Prinsep Street there. Sadly, Zw didn't manage to make it at the last minute, so it's 1 member down.

Just to do a quick review for that restaurant. The okonomiyaki portion is normal, in Singapore's price context. 10+bucks mid-range for a normal okonomiyaki. I would say the price is okay lah. Japanese food is never cheap in Singapore. Tsk. But the desserts...... I would say it's a bit too overpriced. Seriously. I tried the green tea cheese cake, it wasn't really that nice and it cost $15.90!!! Ya.... Just go for the normal food. Go try if you like DIY okonomiyaki. 30+bucks in total should get you full there.

Cycling is painful

Last Saturday went cycling at ECP with co, zm and daji. Co lives somewhere near carpark E1 and E2. Prior to that morning, I went to look up on the map a bit and saw a bicycle kiosk at E2 there, so I parked my car at Co's house and we moved off from there.

Mistake #1: The bicycle kiosk is actually quite some distance away. E1 and E2 aren't really that near. -_-"

Mistake #2: That bicycle kiosk at E2 sucks.

Lemme elaborate on Mistake #2.

We went in and asked for the price. The guy entertained us a while, but the price wasn't quite what we've expected. Expensive. Then we tried to ask if we can have discount. He said need to ask the counter people. Alright, so we went over to the counter.

This girl at the counter tried to entertain us, just for a while. Then she asked if we can ask the guy over at the bicycles there instead. Great! So no one wanna entertain us. Me and Zm immediately walked out.

Mistake #3: There isn't anymore bicycle kiosk nearby if you try to walk further down.

This Mistake #3 is a deadly one.

Actually it isn't that deadly if you are not that petty and stubborn. We are stubborn people. *Pointing to myself and Zm* So we die die refuse to go back to that bicycle kiosk, and Zm mentioned about another better bicycle kiosk further down. Lemme warn you guys. The next bicycle kiosk is at Area G, which is DAMN FAR AWAY if you are walking.

The above actually won't be that bad if I've never committed Mistake #0.

Mistake #0: I should have just parked my car at the ECP carpark.

=\

Okay, that should be the end of the complaints.

After we got the bicycles, we cycled all the way to Changi Village, makan, and back. End of story.

Moving towards the Park Connector

Hahaha.. Seriously, I super duper unfit. Just reached the Changi Park nia, I already shagged liao. I had reduce my speed by 1 gear. And on the way back, I had to reduce by 1 more gear. At the park connector I had to further reduce one more time. Wahahahahahahaaa! Okay... I'm weak. Too long never exercise at all.

Surprisingly, the sun was darn strong in the afternoon. So much so for the weather forecast saying it will rain. Pui~ It rained in the early morning and that was it. When I woke up, I was already on the verge of 放生 liao. That dark sky and the nice weather were in cahoots with my bed trying to allure me back into La La Land.

By the end of the whole trip, I realised I've become a lobster. Good thing I've rolled up my sleeves. But my thongs tanline.. thongs that footwear.. the tanline has gotten worse.

Trying to show off how strong am I

In actual fact, it's the bike that's light

Walking back...

And ya... My butt still pain now.. Lousy bicycle seats. Cannot cycle too much, or else my father day will be gone too man...

(Thanks to Zm for the photos)

p/s: now i know why recently all my posts not much photos.. bcos it's really a pain in the ass to upload photos in blogspot.

Going KL.

I think I'm pretty well-known for having preference different from others, which Jh always likes to comment on.

I prefer to take bus to KL. Plane is faster, but take bus I can sleep mah. And take a longer time to reach there = work less there. Ho ho ho ho ho~ Frankly speaking, the buses all are not bad one, quite comfortable!

Then this late afternoon, just before I wanna booked ticket to go home, there was an urgent meeting to discuss the situation and how to proceed from there. Apparently, the KL people wanted me to stay there to oversee the starting of the production in case something goes wrong. And they are starting on Saturday. That means... they wanted me to stay on and over the weekend. =\ But I insisted on going home today (Thursday) and said I will come back again on Saturday morning.

Most people will think might as well stay there, better than wasting time travelling to and fro. But..... stay there I also waste time. I didn't bring enough entertainment to last me until next Wednesday, I didn't bring enough clothes (only 3-4 days of clothes), and I didn't bring enough cash!

Okay, actually it's okay one. Hahahaa.. Entertainment, can go Sungei Wang buy dvd watch, clothes can send for laundry service and money can use ATM, but I just wanna come back lah. Stay there quite sian one... At night boring one...

Let's hope this trip would really be my final trip down to KL for this project. *pray hard*

Neat doesn't mean good.

Although my room is messy (very messy), most of the time I know where my stuff are. Then always there will be someone trying to act smart and attempt to tidy up my room. Well.. this mentality is good. Sure enough, when things are arranged neatly, they are supposed to be organised. But more than half the time, this tidy up thingy were not done with my presence. You know the story.

When things are messy, at least I still do know where I placed my stuff. Now things are tidy. BUT! BUT! You don't know where my stuff is, and I don't know where my stuff is. Tell me.. what's the point? It just adds two frustrated people in the world. I can't find my things, you felt unappreciated.

Room messy, then messy lah! Not like my room is an exhibition room for people to see or wat (messy room can also be an exhibit btw). It's just a room to rest! ARGH!! Now I gotta reorientate myself to the new arrangement of my stuff. SO FUN! RAWRRR!

P/S: Anyway, it's not my mum this time round. It's my sister's new maid. New maid always likes to act garang and volunteered to tidy up my room. But mum still has to take the blame. She APPROVED it.

Insomnia Nights

Recently I've been counting sheep to sleep...

sheep sleep sheep sleep sheep sleep

一只枚羊,两只枚羊,三只枚羊,四只枚羊,五只枚羊,六只枚羊,七只枚羊,八只枚羊,九只枚羊,十只枚羊。。。。

I've realised it's super effective. It's how you do the counting that if it works or not. You need to let your subconscious do the counting. Because usually if you can't sleep, it's due to your hyperactive brain which refuse to sleep. So you need to reduce the activity. Do the counting using your brain, then slowly hand it over to the subconscious to do it. Then your brain is ready to sleep.

It's okay if you lost count, just restart. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT try to recall too hard or concentrate on the number! By doing so, you are engaging your main conscious activity again.

Try it! But not during work please.

I've wronged you, SMRT

Pardon me when I said SMRT was like packed sardines, if I've ever said that. It's just that I don't know what packed sardines really was until last Sunday. It was a truly unique experience.

This thing happened after my Ma.lac.ca trip. I'll write about Ma.lac.ca trip next time when I have the photos and time to write.

At around 2pm, the Ma.lac.ca trip kakis sent me to Ma.lac.ca Sen.tr.al to buy bus ticket to make my way to K.L for work trip. But little did I know that the ticket could sold out so quickly. The best timing we could find was 730pm bus. I was supposed to reach there by 6pm. Then while asking counter to counter about the availability of the tickets, one taxi uncle was rounding up people to take his cab to the train station.

Then as usual, I never ask thing properly, so I took up his offer. And once he managed to find 4 pax, off we went to the train station.

All along, I thought the train station he's referring to was some K.L train station. Until when he reached the train station, he stopped the car and waited for us to alight. Apparently all the 4 of us onboard was staring blankly at him, and he looked back at us blurly too, and said, "KTM! Ini!" Or something like that.

Oh well... What to do... FYI, it was pouring heavily outside. I swiftly exited the cab, ran to the boot, picked up my barang barang, and ran into the K.T.M station. The counter queue was long, so I gey kiang time again (as usual) trying to find my own way to K.L.

Looking at the train route map, I was at Se.rem.ban (and I totally have no idea where the hell was that place), and K.L Sen.tr.al was 13 stops away. Saw an automated ticket vending machine, so book my ticket via there. Then I asked the usher/security guard/whoever nearby to confirm the train I gonna take was at the platform there.

Next suay part of the adventure. The gate only has 1 gantry in. A me.la.yu family was hogging the gantry. Apparently one of their tickets had some problem. Retry and retry and retry and... When it's finally my turn to go in.... THE BLOODY TRAIN WENT OFF!!! AND THE TRAIN STILL GOT LOTS OF SPACE! AND IT'S NOT PACKED!!!

Fine! Looking at the board, next train was coming in 15min time or so, so never mind, I'll wait. Then an announcement came, in me.la.yu, I don't understand but I saw the time on the board changed. Great. It was delayed. And this went on for a few more times. End up, The train came 1hr later. Bravo!

By the time the train came, the platform was already overcrowded. Everyone rushed into the train, and luckily I managed to get in too. Despite the train being full like what we saw on SMRT during rush hour, people still kept pushing their way in. Pack and pack and pack, until 80% of your surface are in contact with other people on the train. Nice eh? Luckily I scare troublesome, never buy any stuff from Ma.lac.ca. Or else I'm pretty sure they will all end up crushed.

Then this procedure of packing sardines continued for the next 12 stops until K.L Sen.tr.al. GG. At 730pm or so, I finally managed to reach K.L Sen.tr.al in one piece, with some scratches on my arms due to the squeezing out of the train.

When I got out of the train, I could feel my feet and legs totally sore. Stood for 3hrs with my heavy bag and heavy laptop, plus the fatigue from previous day.

This is quite stupid. The train was delayed because people kept trying to squeeze into the packed train, which often resulted in improper closing of the train doors. Thus the train doors had to open and close many many many times until they were all properly closed. Waste of time.

Next, concurrent entering and exiting of passengers. Come on lah! Don't be stupid can? You want to come into a fully packed train? Let people go out first to give up their space lah! You trying hard to squeeze in, people can't get out, you wasted that their time because they exceed their stop, AND less person can come in! TOTAL INEFFICIENCY! Waste of time x2.

Argh... Been there, done that. Fullstop. No more second time for me.

Horrifying Memories

Here I'm going to tell you an horrifying memory that happened when I was still a kid, perhaps K1/K2 or P1 already.

Disclaimer: The following post might cause nausea or involuntary ejection of part or all of the contents of the stomach through the mouth (aka vomitting). Proceed with care, especially if you like beancurd skin (tau ki).

Recently, don't know why, my mum starting to feed me with tau ki. You know those beancurd skin used to wrap ngoh hiong one? Ya, that one... She cooked it like once a week (last time very seldom, the most is add to soup or whatever nia), and my mixed vege rice oso got... Not that I don't eat them, not that I don't like them. It's just that whenever I eat them, a vision from the past just appear in my mind. And surprising I still managed to eat them up. =|

This is the happening.

It was during the time when I was still taking swimming classes. The coach told us to swim to and fro. Then on the trip back, I suddenly saw something floating around in the water ahead of me. Upon approaching, those stuff looked like flakes of tau ki. Disgusting, but I thought might be some normal rubbish that fell into the water or what, because it just a 2-3 pieces like that. So I swam on, without detouring much away from those flakes.

Then on the next few laps, I finally saw the "SOURCE" of the "rubbish". Another fellow student swimming in front of me was discharging these flakes out from his mouth. And this time round, the expelled particles were far more than what was floating around earlier. There was even a piece, that's like half of my palm size? Shucks. Those flakes were ACTUALLY vomit. -_- Of course this time I siam it at all cost!!!

$%^@%^@$$!$#%#%&%^#

Now you know the haunting past of mine whenever I eat tau ki. And I just had it. =|

Have a nice day.

Eat more tau ki.

Don't vomit in the pool.

Thank you.

Yet another emo song.

Well, this song not that emo to me (yet), but to a particular friend.

Getting lost in the midst of a busy life of today's society is nothing unusual. Many times, you may just stop and ponder, "What am I doing right now?" Okay, maybe you don't, but somtimes I do. What are we really trying to achieve?

=\

You may feel lost now, but don't despair! You still can find your way back to the path you were on. Even so, all paths will eventually lead to an end. It might not be bad to reach another end?

Like just what the lyric says, let it go and just enjoy the show. Walk on...

Lenka - The Show
(The official MV clip doesn't allow embedded object. Sucks)

Looking back...

Vitamin C - Graduation

Ages ago, this song was like "Oooooooo... Nice song [fullstop]". Then today I, by chance, heard it once again. This time the feel is so much different. The song actually has much more meaning in it.

It's not that last time I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics or what. It's just that the lyrics couldn't really apply to me during that time. Now they do. *emo emo emo*

So yeah, this song goes out to all my friends.

Expensive Weekends Again!!

Er... This is the most expensive weekend liao..

PhotobucketvsPhotobucket

The devil won.... sucks...



i bought xbox360 and guitar hero world tour liao.........

Monday, February 23, 2009

Expensive weekends...

Cham ah.. I kept saying I want to save money, but I kept going out...... =\

First up, Friday... York Lin long long ago jio-ed us go eat crab liao, and don't know why I said yes too. Anyway, so I did go... Location is at AMK Ave 3 Blk 232. It's opposite Mayflower Sec Sch, I think. The queue was insane, but luckily Mr Cai made reservation beforehand, so that saved us the queuing time.

However, that's not all. You still got the cooking time to wait too. Ho ho ho ho... Don't know why. Isn't this recession time? Why everyone still coming here to spend so much $$$ on simple thing like food. Talking about me eh? =\

York Lin ordered 1x large crab (butter style), 1x med crab (black pepper style), and another 1x med crab (soup style). Then he asked us wanna add more stuff or not, and told us to look at the menu. Naturally, when he asked that, we would think maybe not enough, so we ordered a few more others stuff - crispy tofu, cereal prawn and baby kai lan.

People! DO NOT! I REPEAT! DO NOT ORDER ANY OTHER STUFF IF YOU HAVE 3X CRABS ON THE WAY! And especially you are just feeding 6 mouths. Why? See below.


That's the size of the pincer of the large crab. =\ And the soup one it's like (fish head bee hoon - fish head + crab). So ya, thick bee hoon is inside. And it was quite a big pot. BUT NICE! The butter one is nice too. Black pepper ah, they say Bedok one nicer. But seriously, the crab itself is nice lah.

Damage - 45bucks per pax. I think it summed up to $268.xx if I never remember wrongly.


That's my Friday. Then came Saturday. Original plan was to go in JB. But I got recall manning, so I was kinda not planning to go in liao. After much tempting (news of Garry got Guitar Hero 2), and friends' patience waiting, I decided to go in. Zw went in to import Wii out. Rich guy. Tsk...

Then we went to some restaurant to eat. Leong said that place not that nice, but we wanted to give them a chance. So we ate at there. Conclusion: We know we should go the one further down next time.

Let's see what we ordered. Crabs (AGAIN!), baby lobsters, some meat (can't remember ostrich or beef), broccoli with mushrooms, more or less there lah. Food so so nia lah.. Nothing worth mentioning.

Damage - This one worth mentioning. RM90 per pax. =\ A bit steep IMO.

Anyway, the main highlight was playing Guitar Hero!!!

Zeming playing...


Rocker Zeming...


And his In-Game character...


ROCKS~ I can only play up to Medium nia. Tried Hard a while, cham.. got eye/hand coordination problem liao. After everyone slept liao, I went on and played alone until 6+am =~( I got no life. Rare chance to play this game mah. Must play until song song.

Next morning, Garry sent us out to Singapore and back home. So nice of him..... Awwwwww.... Provide transport there, provide lodging, provide entertainment, and even provide transport out!! So to express my gratitude, I'm helping him to do research on Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band. MUAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!


Now Sunday.. WMW Feb's gathering. @ Citylink's New York New York. I met Garry again. LOL. That one just a dinner though. Details, wait for WMW blog.

End of my last week! WOOT~ Packed weekend eh? And I was actually on recall manning week. YESH! Tomorrow end of recall manning week. Daji and Eddie are next!! Our country depends on them.

New gif!

Second piece of my IPPT set.. It's chin-up time!

random stuff

I just realised I got 4 followers, not 3 anymore. Yippee!

Regarding work issues, recently went into lull period liao... but.... I know there's 2 projects coming soon. Higher levels are still discussing about the details and $$$. It's like a dam with a crack. Water seems to be trickling slowly and peacefully. But who knows when the dam will come down and water come gushing through. =\ Next week or next next week, maybe it's time for me to work OT again.

As you all can see, I'm still living a pauper life. So that just means no huat. I'm still a poor salaryman. Enough of gambling liao, no more Toto and 4D for now. Don't wanna donate more to Singapore Pools for anymore... for now... temporarily...

Let's see... I think I'm going to start saving $$$ liao.. 1/2 year milestone coming. Think I more or less had enough fun spending so much money. I mean I can go on playing lah, but 1/2 year was the first milestone I set for myself when I got my 1st pay. Second milestone is end of this year. Still quite a long way, so ignore. Start saving next month! I'm going to open another bank account to separate my spending and saving account. Oh... I just ordered a new Dell monitor. xD Dell got offer now, go check out their site.

My 3 pairs of socks not holding much longer. One pair already starting to have a hole. The rest soon. Time to get more socks. But still, I can't find ankle toe socks. Good one, that is. Err.... and cheap.

And yes, I'm kinda free now. Pretty free. Until an extent I can say I'm VERY free. Making gifs and drawing stick figures are some favourite pastimes of mine. And so....
Photobucket
TADA~
Initially, I wanted to do a banner for the blog. Then I lazy to do so many frames, so I just make do with smaller dimension. Easier you see... Tedious work when you are just using mouse to draw. But then again, I think I can't draw as well using pen/pencil. I must admit I can draw middle finger better with mouse. LOL. My plan - to complete the entire IPPT course. This one is SBJ. I still got sit up, pull up and shuttle run/2.4 (they are the same, maybe one faster frame rate nia). =|

Okay, enough of random shits. Time to move on. *Moved on*

HUAT AHH!!!!

I think a lot of people got sick of seeing/hearing me shouting this over and over during the past few days. It's the 10 million CNY Toto craze you see.... I'm just following the crowd.

I bought $10 worth of Toto myself. Then yesterday I was comparing the tickets. Bo tio.. bo tio.. this one bo tio also.. still bo tio... etc etc etc... hai.............. Let's get back to be a slave.

But there's a part II to this HUAT story. My fate doesn't just end there. I didn't dump the tickets away immediately. I left them in front of my computer after checking. Lazy to dump them, or perhaps I was waiting to see some miracles to happen to my numbers.

Then just now, my dad told me I actually tio 20 bucks! That's Group 6 winning - 3 1/2 numbers. WaHAHaHAHAhahaHAHahAHAA!! This isn't the end of the saga!!! I'm going to "INVEST" the 20 dollars into Monday's Toto and go for it. Don't know my fate was giving me a 2nd chance, or it's just tell me enough is enough and returned me my original bet (no win no loss).

We'll see the conclusion of it on Monday. Until then... HUAT AH!!!!

Importance of Shopping/Wish Lists

It's important to maintain such lists in your blog, webbie, facebook, friendster, etc etc. Just place it where people can seek them out easily.

Why? Because those lists are really a great help when your birthday is approaching. 2 ways - it helps you reduce your disappointment when you receiving gifts from friends; and it helps your friends to swiftly acquired a gift for you. Well.. that's unless you are the kind of people who like surprises (and you don't complain at useless prezzie).

It helps too if you provide a wide range of selections too. Imagine if your wishlist is all lingerie, chances are I (generally guys) can't (don't dare to) get them. Or a Tenga Fliphole, girls pai seh to get for you.

And also variation in prices too. Budget lah. Different People different budget.

Yup. So people, please do so now. Oh... That is if I actually know when your birthday is. Ho ho ho ho ho ho! Can always come in here to drop a msg saying your birthday coming. But my eyes have selective blindness. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!

Crap.. I'm making gift giving sounds so political like that. =\ Oh! I have a shopping list here too. ^^

p/s: ah... WMW blog post not done yet.. shhhhhhhh...
