A new year, a new beginning!

Okay this is gonna be long.

First of all a recap of my new year resolutions for year 2005!

"1. First of all, I'm gonna PASS MY FREAKIN' DRIVING TEST on the 12th of Jan.
2. Start checking out and for my mini-van; and hopefully get to buy it, latest by end of 2006.
3. Work hard in uni. Must do well man.
4. Play hard in uni as well. Gonna play bball for hall hopefully. Maybe handball. Maybe try my hand at air-pistol too.
5. Save up. Wanna have at least $5000 in personal account by end of 2005. Means that I most probably gotta get a job. Hopefully a job in hostel.
6. Be a better person. Treat people I treasure nicely. Family and my best friends ba."

1. I passed that frickin driving test. In fact, in 11 days I'd officially be rid of the cumbersome P-plate!
2. Aye, probably not gonna get a Kangoo afterall. Now I prefer Vios ;)
3. I did like shit. 'Nuff said.
4. Hahah I dunno what happened to this lah, since I didn't even stay in hall.
5. Well I'm still broke, but I think I'm beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel -_-;;
6. Well treat people I treasure nicely? I dunno if I did. Hahah.

So as you can see, I wasn't even really serious in making my new year resolutions last year they weren't even 'resolutions'.

But still, I guess it was an okay year for me. Lots of things happened. Got to know lots of new people, got in touch with lots of old people too. Learnt new stuff. Experienced new things. Fallen, got back up.

Next year's gonna be a better one!

Resolutions for 2006
===============

1. I MUST REALLY START PUTTING MORE EFFORT INTO MY STUDIES. I have people around me doing much much better and saying that they have done "like shit". So what does that make my cap? This can't go on, boy.

2. I MUST DUNK. C'mon man, I ain't getting any younger. If I don't do it soon, I'm never ever gonna be able to make it. Just a few cm more man. To better allow myself to dunk, I must....

3. GROW TALLER. A few more cm can liao. Okay, in what way is this a resolution? Can't really make myself grow tall can I? Oh well, drink more milk?

4. SWELL MY BANK ACCOUNT. By hook or by crook.

5. LEARN GUITAR. I've been saying that for a year now.

6. PROJECT SF. Bm has project SL and I have project SF. Highly secretive, confidential, and extremely sensitive. Aye, it basically means I have to cut down on my favorite foods like chocolate, seafood and rojak :(

Like all new year resolutions, I'm guessing they still tend to start being forgotten somewhere around February. So I've limited this year's to 6 very, erm... easy-to-remember items. So this year really must fulfil all ah.

Things worthy of attention that happened in 2005
======================================
1. I ORDed. The happiest moment in my entire NS life is the day I ORDed. I still remember my cold-blooded papa told me some months back that he teared when his son got onto the evil evil bus that brought us all to the hell-on-earth called Pulau Tekong. My sister said that on the night I left she cried loh ahahahahah!!

Hahah I guess as the eldest son in a family with extremely uptight parents, they tend to worry alot more for me when I progress through the stages in life.

When my brother got enlisted, they didn't even give a damn. Cos I gave everyone a very complete and detailed summary of what he will be going through from day one onwards. And my family was also spared from the horror and sense of loss of stepping onto that wretched island, for they had me the lao jiao bing as their tour guide.

Well anywayz, I guess NS has made me learnt lots of stuff, like the usual chao genging and acting fierce to protect urself and backstabbing and stuff. So what did I learn about defending the nation? Hmm. Nothing? Nothing PRACTICAL anyway. I doubt that I'd ever have any real need to handle a M16 or LAW tube or grenade or SAW or GPMG. And I hope not -_-;;

Of course, I've also met my fair share of unique individuals, great buddies, and er.. weird people.

Stupid AOE shit with xiao shi di. Blackout day when everyone came to rescue us. Sleeping until 1 p.m. when clearing leave. Extremely unlucky encounters during guard duties. Warcraft madness during nights' off. Fear of madam. The hot-and-humid-like-crazy bunk. The smelly-like-shit toilets. Asking for games everyday at 3 p.m. Physical training for IPPT. Reading and slacking in office when madam is not around. Store-runs. First parade tasks. Being flag party commander for stupid CO parade. 24-7 duties. Suffering shit together. Finding ways to slack together. Getting conned by trusted people.

Ns made me grow, but still, that doesn't make up for the fact that if there was no NS, I'd be in year 3 student now and I'd be a working adult soon.

2. NS to NUS. See the link? NS? NUS?

As I've re-iterated time and time again, I have been extremely lackadaisical in my studies. Well I can tell that some people around me are skeptical about what I say about this and are of the opinion that I did badly purely because I am stupid.

"It's all about time management."

Hahah, oh well, that might be the truth. I don't deny that I haven't always got my priorities right, and I let my heart rule over my head at times and wasted time doing nonsensical things. And of course, my lack of brilliance is one major factor too.

But next sem shall be better. I hope.

3. New friends at NUS. Shambaa people. Kenny~ Vball party, Alvin, Demure, Eugene, Andy. Of course, acknowledging my new-found stylo-milo biao mei. CTW buddy GY. Fellow slacker jeremy.

4. The OFFICIAL FORMATION of WST haha. I'm just glad this bunch of secondary school classmates have managed to keep in touch after so long. It helps that most of them are in NTU together, keeping their side of the bond strong. Only me and idol are in NUS. And not forgetting the two 19 year olds new members of WST.

Weekly bball and laksa sessions are stuff I look forward to too.

Shit this is getting too long I'm getting tired. If u're stilll reading this, u must be really bored.

5. Okay. Lastly, of course, my singlehood. Well, haven't got much to say cos I know she'd be reading this too, so it's gonna be weird, hahah.

Hai.

But maybe I'm a more powerful cancerian.

Hahah.

Okay this is crazy, I'm going to bed.

Happy 2006!

How Scary Are You?

Well I never knew I was THIS scary.

Indoor Gay Bash

Went to THE CHAIRMAN's place yesterday for mahjong and ps2 and potluck mini-party with da saddest team.

Man, the his dogs (Pepsi and Milo) started screaming (barking) like mad when they saw me. I think they do that to strangers. Or do I look like a robber?

When I got in they started they started scrambling all over me and snuggling against me and clawing me and licking me while the rest just acted like it's very normal.

I was like "OEI SOMEONE COME HELP ME CAN, I SCARED OF DOGS ONE LEH!!"

To my dismay, nobody responded. Well that wasn't entirely the truth lah, I not really scared of dogs but I hate getting licked by them, so dirty!!

When I was having lunch on the sofa Pepsi and Milo were like, sitting there and watching me eat and I felt so funny.

Alvin has a funny reaction whenever they come near him. He just says "fuck off fuck off", though it doesn't work at all.

Later on they started fighting over a piece of bone. Me and my kind "mistress" Ivan wanted to get another piece of bone for them so that they can stop fighting but alas, in their violent mood at the moment, they started chasing after Ivan!! I think they didn't chase me cos Ivan ran but I didn't.

Damn funny cos Ivan was like jumping up and down and running all over the place while the rest of us were clapping and basically just enjoying the show haha!

Had usual bball today followed by my beloved laksa yong tau foo. Coconut milk alot alot type, damn shiok.

The Interview Part 2.

Went for the interview with a heavy heart, due to some unforeseen circumstances, haha.

Ayee, I guess it was pretty shitty and things don't look good but haha, I guess it's just as well. I didn't ask anything throughout the interview and merely answered the questions I was asked.

The person I was supposed to take over gave me lots of hints n tips for the interview beforehand and told me that the person before me was very impressive and enthusiastic and that I have to BEAT him.

Told me that I have to act like I really really want the job and I really really am excited about it. But I am not loh.

"Then go interview for fark??" My mum asks. Okay I added in the fark.

Sheesh I guess I dunno also, ya know, I'm starting to think if I'm taking this as a challenge to myself. It's a perverse thought I know, but I wanna know if I am better or the indian competitor is better.

But u see ah, $8.52 per hour, think one week about $300 plus, if I work FULL-TIME. But last night I sports betting already win $400 plus. Work so hard for what.

Aiyah dunno lah, they hire me then I work, if not then nevermind loh. Sheesh I'm starting to worry that they will hire me.

But with this screwed up mentality of mine I doubt they'll give me the job anyways.

Holland V and eye candies

Throughout my trip to Holland V today, I've been enjoying eye candy galore.

From waiting for bus.

To getting onto the bus.

To bus-stops along the way.

To alighting the bus.

To reaching Holland V.

How come along that stretch of land got so many? I don't understand. Oh yeah, I even saw Mo Xiao Ling.

Merry Christmas!

Went out on a HOT DATE with bm but she says that going out with bg is not considered a HOT DATE so nevermind -_-;;

Had bball with WST in the morning somemore. Plus the fact that we got home at about 3 a.m. from Shambaa outing, can imagine how tired I was.

After dinner at Swensen's Orchard started to swarm with people.

People mountain people sea.

There were people spraying snow (read: SOAP) all over the place man. Bm kept managing to dodge off everything but I kena-ed abit by this ah beng behind us. I think he was purposely aiming at both of us loh, budden bm ran away and left me there to die.

There were performances outside Civic Plaza. These were Taiwan tribal performances though I doubt the performers were really from these tribes. And I didn't know that taiwan tribes 'worship' Jesus. Or is it just another example of religion commercialisation -_-;;

Oh yeah, they suddenly started playing TECHNO music and these people in tribal costumes starting dancing to TECHNO music! We were like, wtf??

After squeezing through the disgusting crowd like crazy, we went to Zara where bm tried on some high heeled shoes.

She nearly reached same height as me loh! So tall. Felt so weird. But quite cool lah.

Then we went to er.. play pool. Sigh, pool is really one game I really like but really suck at. Don't understand why so lousy leh, need someone to teach me properly haha. Bm won me one game~~~

Yeah and then we went home.

And I'm so frickin tired.

Tomorrow I'm gonna sleep until I wake up by myself.


Exams. Results.

Whoa, I passed everything! What a miracle. Well my cap sucks and my grades suck too, but I'm just super duper glad I passed everything.

Nice Kenny asks me if I'm Okay anot after getting the results. Aiyo, truth be told, I am not only okay, I am sibeh happy loh!!

Okay this sounds like I damn mei chu xi, but I really expected much worse after fooling around so much this sem.

NUS moderation is disgusting, I think. I mean, I really really don't see how I managed to pass my maths. I did less than a QUARTER of the paper loh. And I don't even know how much out of that quarter I got right.

Well maybe my assignments and tutorials helped me? No, there are no assignments, and tutorials don't hafta be handed up.

Maybe my mid term test helped me? Hahaha! I got the super duper gosu score of TWO out of 12 for my mid-term test, lor!

So how did I pass? Beats me.

Well as expected, the highest grades I got was for Critical Thinking and Writing, cos that subject shiok shiok, no need to study one. Haha. B ain't high, but it's highest for me.

Next semester must choot power liao, else I die.

The World's Saddest Team.

Went to collect the jerseys the other day. Wanted to take picture of everyone's jersey and upload all of them up here. Would be cool, innit?


But as usual, I got lazy. Next time, perhaps. Next time.

Well all we had for the team name was a tiny WST at the lower right corner in front. I thought printing the full name would be fine but the rest said if we did that we won't dare to wear it anywhere haha.

Y'know, we even have a blog for wst.

http://www.worldsaddestteam.blogspot.com/

But nah, the jerseys weren't made up of the official numbers 4-15 as we reckoned we'd never ever play in a match anyway.

Cos we must uphold the wst spirit.

Da SADDEST team.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Yay I finished the book!

Well as usual, a great book. Thumbs up. But somehow dark and grisly details just don't feel very right. From the ending I think book seven is not going to be pleasant.

I think from The Order of the Phoenix the plot has been getting more and more un-childish and has sort of murderous content. Wonder if we'll even see much of Hogwarts in book seven.

SPOILER ALERT! If u're planning to read the book and don't wanna kno the details, STOP READING.

Bits and pieces of random thoughts...

Okay first of all, I can't believe Dumbledore is dead. I still don't 100% believe. Though there's the funeral and all. And I still don't believe Snape's the traitor. I think the Avada Kedavra was fake. Dumbledore is too wise. At least that's what I think.

Haha, I'm also "Dumbledore's man through and through."

I think his death so resembles 3rd Hokage's death in Naruto.

I think Neville will be a key character in book seven. I think he'd become damn powerful. Might even be a great help to Harry in defeating Voldemort.

I think Draco Malfoy will turn over a new leaf.

I'm looking forward to knowing Harry's true heritage. When he first got into Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat very nearly placed him in Slytherin. And he's a Parseltongue.

How exactly is he related to Voldemort?

I think Ginny will end up with Harry. But that doesn't feel right. I liked the idea of Cho with Harry, but since Cedric's death, it just ain't possible no more. And after I saw the movie version of Cho Chang, I don't really like her anymore -_-;;

Hermione with Ron!

Bill Weasly is cool. I like him. I like Fleur too, but I don't remember how they got together.

I'm looking forward to the final battle between good and evil. Will Dumbledore be back? Dumbledore plus Harry Potter plus Lupin plus Snap etc vs Voldemort plus his Death Eaters and Giants and Dragons and Dememtors? Woohoo! Too bad Sirius Black is dead. I really liked him.

I thought Voldemort's history was pretty cool.

But I think the "Half Blood Prince" thing was too shodily done away with. Think they'll explain more in book seven though.

Looking forward to book Seven.




The whacky Taxi driver

After purchasing our stuff from Giant in preparation for theBBQ on Tue, we hailed a cab and after we loaded the stuff, bm went to push back the trolley cos she spotted the trolley loading area first.

She got into the front seat while me and Alvin got into the back seat.

After we set off he started on a massive tirade of how we guys were damn ungentlemanly to let bm push back the trolley and let her sit in front. Ho ho ho, he said that in a 'lecturely' manner lah, not say scold us, but in a I-cross-bridges-more-than-u-tread-on-flat-ground-and-I-eat-salt-more-than-
you-eat-rice-so-I-am-powerful-you-are-not-muahahahah tone.

Which was so pathetic!! Okay starting I felt it was quite funny lah, and I saw Alvin show him the middle finger to me.

Then we started getting abit peeved when he started going onto stuff like how mutual communication is vital to all relationships. Like between friends, couples, and TAXI-DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. How that is so very important. Hahaha so funny!!

Well I guess I'm glad me and Alvin looked like little kids. I don't think he realizes that he is trying to lecture 3 university students. No offence meant, but if he were such a great communicator and is as wonderful as he thinks he is, I doubt we would have met that very day, and on a taxi somemore.

What an ego-maniac!

If there is one model of guy I don't like, it is gentlemen.

If there is one model of guy I detest, it is gentlemen who think that being a gentleman is the number one virtue on planet Earth.

They think that holding the door for a girl, pulling out the chair for her, buying flowers for her, ect etc, are the best things a man could do.

Which is bullshit, I think. Well yeah I agree it could be nice at times, but priding your existence on such mundane and bo liao things is stupid and I would say, hypocritical.

Would you do all that for a not-good-looking girl? A girl whom u don't give a damn what she thinks of you? An old lady? If so, I give u the thumbs up. If not, I think u're just a chao buaya.

Which is not wrong, because being a chao buaya is but a natural instinct. Just stop behaving like u do all that because u are nice and "gentlemanly"!

In this sense I really admire xiao lee fei dao. He is damn power lah, and he was damn frickin rich, but he retired cos he buei tahan all the hypocrites in the jiang hu. He never gives a damn about the damage his actions will do to his reputation; he only does what is right.

"If something is wrong, it is wrong even if the whole world does it. If something is right, it is right even though nobody is doing it."

But it takes alot of courage to be that kind of person, and I believe that kind of person only exists in novels like xiao lee fei dao.

Therefore, I admit that I am hypocritical too. Whoever says he is not a hypocrite sometimes, is an ultimate hypocrite.

What are people skills? Hypocricism!! Okay I think no such word, but u get my point.

If an ugly girl asks u if she's ugly, what do u say? If a cleaner asks u if his job is glamorous, what do u say? If u reply the TRUTH, well, good luck to u in surviving on this planet.

Oh yeah, back to the cabby. He asked bm what me and Alvin were to him. Me is his bg loh. Then he made some bullshit comment that bg should not bully bm etc. And some shitty stuff about boyfriends, girlfriends, and friends. Then asked bm who Alvin was. She say friend loh.

Then the uncle said "There, I told u so."

I mean, WTF?! Just pick one guy and one girl walking in the same group, whether alone or with other people, and out of 100 attempts, at least 95 will say that they are friends loh!

What is so there-I-told-u-so about that?

Ridiculous!

But amusingly ridiculous; I know I'd never forget this incident in a long long time haha.

Bookworm me.

I'm now reading Harry Potter and Xiao Lee Fei Dao simultaneously. Whoa, English and Chinese book can read together?

Haha, can, lydat then good wad, see English see sian liao see Chinese and vice versa.

Anyway both books are damn good man. XLFD is melancholic, sometimes dark, and abit surreal. Whereas HP is really easy to read and the storyline easy to follow.

Ho ho ho.

'Tis the season for love~

Seems like nowadays everyone and their neighbours are getting hit by Cupid's arrows! Seeing them blissful and happy makes kang kang feel good too!

In retrospect, it's been like, almost 5 months since we split. 5 months is close to half a year! I think that's pretty long, considering the fact that she was one person I've been seeing, or at least hearing or sms-ing almost every single day for a whole 3 years of my life.

Haha okok, this ain't supposed to sound sad, cos it's not!

Y'know, she was the best thing that's ever happened to me. Up till now, at least. Like I always say, I'm no prophet and I don't know if anyone BETTER is going to come into my life.

We never regretted it, I think. (And hope)

At least I don't ; )

Cos even if kang kang dies tomorrow or something, he could jolly well say that he's once treated someone with all his heart before, and he is fairly sure that he could say the same for his other half too!

Good enough ain't it. This kinda thing is never perfect. Like I always say, happy before can liao, ahahah.

Now she's just like Nerubian Queen, cold and far and distant. Can't seem to ask her out at all~ But I guess it's good for both of us this way.

Well sometimes I really wonder how come soapy korean dramas can get so soapy. Want to die because someone you love doesn't love you anymore? 'S that dumb or what?

Yeah it was really painful when we splitted I guess. Nobody had any idea of the magnitude of confusion and bouts of sadness I was overcome with, but I was NEVER anywhere near suicide or anything like that, hahaha.

So yeah, Christmas is coming, and I see that it's brought much love along the way!

May she be happy. May EVERYONE be happy! May everyone find their Mr and Mrs Rights soon enough!

Cos 'tis the season for love!

Arcade games then and now.

Aye my knees hurt real bad. Too much bball maybe. Professor Ben says I need more milk.

The original plan to "lah kopi" at Starbucks last night turned into a night of nostalgia at the arcade. KOF(King of Fighters) is so different now man. Kids nowadays are really good at these games. They actually memorise combos and stuff.

Nowadays it's all about executing combos and giving your opponent no chance to move until he's dead.

Last time was more about tactics and forcing your opponent to make stupid moves and terrorizing them for their mistakes.

I decided that I will surely die fast and waste 50 cents if I play KOF, so went to play the easy X-Men vs Street Fighter instead. To my pure horror, Mr Nice Guy had to come in and save as a new challenger halfway through!!

What the hell, last time I could easily complete the game. Mr Nice Guy was also quite rusty though. But I ended up losing to him by like 1.5 cm of blood. DAMN.

But I won him back in SVC vs Street Fighter. Is that the name? Dunno lah, it's more KOF style and I guess I'm still better at KOF muaha. But still, I didn't complete the game.

I still remember the time when I was in like secondary school and playing Art of Fighting 3 for the first time in my life. This 20-something years old guy joined in and lost to me. I was like, beaming. But he went to purchase additional tokens and kept on trying to defeat me.

I beat him 5 times and wasted like $2.50 of his money. I was so scared he would beat me up.

Last night we also played the all-time favorite Daytona but Mr Nice Guy came in first, followed by Kenny then me. So lousy. Kept having the tendency to drive with one hand.

The Job.

There's only one real competitor for the post of Student Associate Writer, supposedly. The person says the rest don't stand a chance. I wonder why though. The 'competitor' is supposedly a very 'enthusiastic' person who can really 'produce stuff'.

Aww man, I'd definitely lose out in the 'enthusiasm' category cos I really am not too keen about it anymore. $8.52 per hour is real tempting but I don't know man, should I take it? The manager is mean. Some times the work load gets really alot. Need to churn out like 10-20 articles during peak periods. And I'll be almost wholly in charge of the frickin newsletter.

Also, the "competitor's" an indian who supposedly needs the job real badly cos 'his dad just passed away'? Kang Kang is getting soft-hearted.

Now I'm supposed to produce a sample article for them. I guess I'd just do it and see how it goes. Can get then get loh, cannot get I'd secretly heave a sigh of relief, I guess. If I do get it, hmm.. Do I give it up to him or what?

Alamak.

Harry Potter

I think Xiaxue did a very good review of the movie leh, now that I've watched it. I agree with most of what she's said.

Dumbledore is so badly portrayed. He's supposed to be all-knowing and super capable in the book. He 'smiles knowingly' to himself even when things go wrong. He's in control all the time. And he NEVER loses his temper.

But in the movie he was like quite useless. Gets anxious when shit happens. And he screams at students and Harry!! That's so not him.

I don't understand why the director places so much emphasis on the part where Harry and Ron were looking for dance partners. I won't think that's so bad if not for the fact that he actually cut out the Quidditch World Cup part!

I don't think it's just me ba; Quidditch is such an essential part of the series; how could they omit that part? Well maybe removing the Dobby and other house elves part was understandable but I think removing Quidditch is a big no-no.

Mad Eye Moody is eccentric. But he's the cool cool kind of eccentric. He's not so violent one wad! He doesn't shout at the class like that. And when he first appeared in Hogwarts he was already drinking Polyjuice. But isn't that supposed to be the REAL Moody?? Drink Polyjuice for what? Well maybe I remember wrongly. If the director remembers this wrongly maybe they should hire me instead.

Olympe Maxime is taller than Hagrid meh? I thought they're about the same height. Same height then cute wad.

Well to conclude, I think if I haven't read the book in the first place, I won't know what's happening in the movie. But precisely because I've watched it, I think the standard's kinda low.

So either way, I guess this movie could be better.

Escape to Escape

For the first time in the 21 years of my childhood-deprived life, I went to Escape Theme Park! So fun leh, made me feel like a little boy once again.

At first quite paiseh, me and xyz both felt quite paiseh walking into the place cos there were little kids all over the place. Either kids or parents. People of our age quite few.


We played like everything that was available, the pirate ship was quite shiok ah, we took that 5 times. All throughout see people scream only, they scream then we laugh.

The twister and inverter were very fun also! I felt so brave afterwards. Cos I thought I would be afraid hahah.

Go-kart was so slooooooow. No kick one. Ain't as fun as I thought it to be leh. Budden really can drift one. Just make sharp turn it will drift liao loh. But I think I got one of the slower ones ba, cos I step until cannot step liao still got people overtake me along straight paths.

Xyz asked me if driving real car is like driving go-kart. Haha if so easy then no need get license loh!!

I dunno if this gaping hole is there for show or what but it sure looks pretty cool.

The Haunted House kinda sucks though. I think throughout the whole thing we were just scaring ourselves, being afraid that ghosts will jump out at us. Aftereffects of CAC camp hahah.

There were cute little girls in there loh. I wonder if they will agree to let me be their godfather.

This poor attendant was in charge of the most no-kick ride in Escape. I think she's so poor thing, cannot get to see people scream, everyone get onto the ride also like sian sian one, somemore she mans this alone.

Well after the adventurous experience, xyz felt very giddy while I had this puky feeling in me cos I think I ate too much. I was so tired leh, think I'm too old for kiddish games hahah.

We dragged ourselves to town afterwards for dinner and to check out the X'mas decorations. Well after the yummy dinner we recovered and could run around again liao.

Music to the ears.

Yummy christmas tree.
Robinson's.

Hohoho!

The ice cream cone that is 3 times bigger than me.

The eerie soldier beside the eerie demon tree.

Melt-in-your-mouth Christmas?

I finally saw this Lambo after hearing that it has been there for damn long. Unforunately, I wasn't able to take good pictures of it :(


I think this pic is damn cool lah.

Mountains of books.

Just as I was gloating over the fact that I stayed home for the most of today and actually finished 2 issues of Sandman, I realized I have this many left.


And y'know, I still have tons of Chinese novels.

A grand total of TWENTY FIVE books, excluding The Half Blooded Prince, Bleach, and Death Note!

I know. This is a test. If I manage to accomplish the feat of reading all these books. It be will a testament of my geekism.

This is getting so exciting.

Wow mass update.

Can't believe a couch-potato wanna-be actually couldn't take time to update his blog everyday and has to mass update.

*Face in palms*

I'm going for the Student Associate Writer thing interview on Friday. Bm thinks I should wear nice nice, long sleeve. Wah lau eh, I was planning to go in t-shirt berms loh. Can get then get loh, cannot get then sua. She said they might go for looks so maybe I should show off my sexy hairy legs by wearing berms right. Haha.

I just changed my stat-counter thingy. Resetted it. That thing is so cool eh, it tells u how many first-time visitors there are to ur blog and bm says u can even tell where they came from, but I haven't really figured out that one yet.

Only started tampering with it yesterday and realized that there's an average of 3-4 new visitors to my blog everyday.

I mean, everyday?!

I thought most everyone who comes are my friends who have come until dowan to come liao??

Weird.

Fight!

Hai, I'm still trying to master the art of couchpotatoism. Why do I keep going out and wasting money?

Y'know, these few days I've spent more than a hundred bucks already.

Went to print jersey with WST today. We were comtemplating if we should print out our "team name" in full. But they said that they will NEVER want to walk around in jerseys with "World's Saddest Team" printed on it. So in the end we just had "WST".

And then we went for dim sum buffet at ZHONG1 GUO2 CHA2 LOU2. What a song2 name that is.

After slacking at home for awhile, went to play bball with again, with Aylwin and gang. We ran into the walking cactus again!! Sheesh.

FIVE ON FIVE IS DAMN TIRING LAH.

It's a duel between young, energetic kids and freshly orded slackers leh.

I KNEW something bad was gonna happen between the walking cactus and my friends. After awhile I was slacking at our side of the court waiting for the ball to come to me and looking downwards when I suddenly heard "CHEE BYE LAH!!" across the court.

I was like, oh fuck, and started running over.

Then I heard "YOU THEN CHEEYBYE LAH!!!" and had to virtually teleport all the way across the court to hold back my friend while Tong Whye kid held back his friend.

Walking cactus-es are dangerous lah.

Well we played on and y'know what, unbelievably we actually won. Frickin awesome man, I thought we sure lose one, cos their side was really quite strong.

Maybe we played with our brains more lah.


My First Luge Ride

How do u pronounce luge? I think it's looch. My sister says it's lu ger. Eugene says it's Lu gee. So who's right? I still think it's looch.

It's this thing where u sit on this erm, pong pong che like platform and slide down this long long slope, avoiding obstacles and maneouvering through sharp turns and sometimes slow-moving women and kids.

First, we gotta take this sky train up to the high high place where the starting point is.

But it's friggin high.

And Alvin was scaaaaaared.

At one point of time the whole sky tram thing stopped moving. So I went like "woohoooooo!!! Are we gonna die!!!!"

Alvin hanging on to dear life.

Alvin and Freeze King.

Say, I was quite worried that my phone might drop down into the pits of no return.

Yay, we're reaching.

Does this look like Jurassic Park?

Yeah and before that we had the usual session of volleyball. Well we had winning streaks as usual because like, our whole team was damn good lah, with demure, eugene, wei jie and alvin. How to lose?

Kang kang, who is a noob at vball, just had to stand there and wait for our score to reach 25. He can't even serve properly for goodness sake. My vball is damn bball style lah, and that sucks.

Haha aiyah budden fun can liao lah, who cares!?!




BBQ number 3 tomorrow

Y'know, I think I might really kena high cholesterol before term starts. Not only do I have 4 BBQs within 30 days, I had Seoul Garden with bm today. And as u know, Seoul Garden has most BBQed chicken, BBQed chicken, and BBQed chicken.

Just applied for a job at NUS Enterprise. Some Student Associate Writer thingy that pays $8.52 per hour! Okay, kang kang as a writer doesn't sound very right. And they require powderful English. Just thought I'd try my luck. Maybe they'd get scammed enough by my A1 for GP, who knows.

But argh, they require us to submit an article or something for them to view, but I was too lazy to come up with anything. Maybe I should send them a post from my blog?

Haha.

Bball again tomorrow. I'm really not being the couch potato that I aspire to be. So many books I haven't read yet. Not even halfway through FF10! Haven't started on Metal Gear Solid! Sandman unfinished! Haven't read Harry Potter! And Death Note! And Bleach! Read quite a few library books though.

Aye. And tomorrow and Sunday will be days out too.

Can't holidays be longer?

Like, one year or something?

It's my childhood from primary school!!

Man, during the bpghs outings we were wondering if anyone was in contact with him and I thought I'd never hear from him again. Last time we always helped each other collect homework when the other was sick and on mc.

He has long hair now I think, omg! Couldn't recognize him, man. Can u, anneson??

Friendster rocks lah.

I am a tensai.

I didn't think I would be able to figure out how to get my tag board up so soon.

But I did it.

I am such a geek.

Praise me.

Harrassed...!

As I was coming back today the FRIENDLY SECURITY GUARD stopped me to chat again. Okay, I know he's bored chat chat abit nevermind, budden today he was really extreme!!

He started asking me whether I got gf, WHY I DON'T HAVE, and why I should go get one. Say "cannot be lah, you so tall, play bball, how come no gf?! u dun bluff me!"

I was like, ......

Then he went on to ask me how much money I spend. I mean, not fixed one wad! He say, if got go out, one day spend how much. I say, maybe $20?

Then he very smart aleck, go and start multiplying $20 by 7 and then by 4 and concluding that I spend so much a month and I am very rich!! Nabeh.. Even though I kept insisting that I don't spend $20 EVERY DAY.

I so wanted to go home budden he won't stop talking to me! I don't wanna appear unfriendly lah, so I had to stand there and chat with him, but I so wanted to go home and bathe and sleep loh!

Then it was my turn to be smart aleck. I wanted to take out my phone and pretend that someone is asking me to go home faster when I realized my mistake.

He asked me "You got my number not?"

My first reaction was. Shit. Die. Why I so stupid.

Argh... And yes, we ended up exchanging phone numbers. He say next time he free wan to jio me out for movie.

Nabeh!! WTF!!!

1) I'm not GAY.
2) No offense meant, but why would I want to go and watch movie with my..er..security guard?!

Wah lau eh... Made me feel so helpless. I don't mean to be hostile and all, but hey, friendly also must have limits one, right?? He ask me for my number lydat, how I refuse??

Say, CANNOT, cos u are a security guard. Cannot right?!

I hope he never calls me.

New skin!

Yes, I did it!

New skin! Simple and plain. Just what kang kang likes.

"Come enjoy this lonely sky with me."

But erm... Being the idiot I am, I'm having trouble with the tag board. the normal tag board is too big and eats into the main space!

I tried chatterbox but it was like, floating in the middle of nowhere!

How ah?

And notice that some of the links on the left are named question marks. They're supposed to be chinese words.

*Face in palms*

But that could easily be solved. I'm just lazy. Later!

And hey, I can now make my words BIG or small at will!

Couch potato?

I'm waking up like 5 hours later for bball again.

Why am I playing so much bball? I thought my ambition was to be a couch potato?

Okay anyway, when I get home after bball tomorrow, I want to turn into a geek. Can you imagine up till now, I still dunno how to get my words to be big big?! Tell me you don't either; it will comfort me. Or even better, if u know how, tell me. It will damage my ego for life, but at least I don't have to go find out via other means.

And I want to change my blog skin tomorrow. And I'm saying it HERE so that I won't break this promise to myself. So if u're reading an entry after this one and it's still this same skin, well, I guess I've compromised myself another time.

And that's not gonna happen. Because I mean what I say, and that is my way of the ninja!!

Too much Naruto.

Gay Bash

Ah well, today's Gay Bash wasn't all that gay because there was a girl in our midst. Idol's girlfriend! Sadly, we didn't take many pictures today eh, guess we were all too lazy.

Oh yes, today we have two new members to our world's saddest team, Alvin and Ivan~ We got to know them through bball also, and now we play together weekly too.

The twangsters, dowan to help start fire!

The beginning.

My customary fire-starting shot.

In the middle of the bbq Keith msged me, asked me play bball ah. Seeing that the whole of the World's Saddest Team was present, me, idol, Ivan and Alvin courageously accepted the challenge in slippers and with a stomach full of chicken wings, satays, hotdogs and whatnot, and went forth towards the BATTLEFIELD.

Alas, we died in battle. But hey, an 11-10 defeat wasn't all that bad, considering our whole team was sliding around with slippers and the urge to puke food increased with every step we took. And plus the opponents were pretty cheap lah. Got one guy damn solo, even his team mates kept scolding him, but he seemed to bask in delight of the fact that he scored most of his team's points; through much travelling and knocking people.

That guy had an evil weapon too. He was sibeh hairy and worse, he wasn't his shirt. So marking him was like marking a walking cactus, and a sibeh wet and violent one at that.

Oh well, defeat is the mother of victory, but the world's saddest team knew that we ARE better than them hahah.

We almost wanted to go up to our place and change into FIGHTING GEAR, i.e. proper shoes and go qie them again.

But being in the peaceful mood we were in, we decided to forgive and forget and proceed on with our usual mindless game.

Zhooooong jiiiii miiiii maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....................

Reminds me of the time when the whole gang plotted against me. There was this time when the punishment was like, 6 satays or something. Being abit drunk and feeling crazy at that time, I upped the ante and said that if I kena, I will suffer DOUBLE the punishment.

That bunch of scheming suckers actually decided on the number while I was in the toilet and made me eat 12 friggin satays before telling me that it was all a PLOY.

This has taught kang kang NEVER to believe in them ever again.

But alas, today kang kang kena first kill. But today no kick lah, we weren't even very very full, and after bball, I didn't mind eating stuff, and the punishment was only like, 2 satays.



Aeon Flux

Watched this with dong and bun. Dong almost slept through the whole movie loh. He's too tired, but what a waste.

Both me and bun thought it was not bad. I thought The Handler has a really ugly hairstyle. And I think she looks like Julia Roberts. I think the ending was quite open ended, and it wasn't MEANT to be that way.

So, was the Handler merely stupid, or was she hatching an even more evil ploy inside her ugly head?

Aeon a.k.a Catherine was cool. Gone are the days or Rocky and Rambo lah, nowadays stealth assassins are more hip. Female stealth assassins are even more kick-ass. And they like to wear very little or very tight.

I guess when they infiltrate into enemy territories and stuff the effects are quite cool, but when they start fighting, the way they shout really turns people off lah. Can't they fight silently for goodness sake.

And the romance between her and Trevor Goodchild sucks. It was pretty cliche' in my opinion. I thought it would be more cool if Goodchild killed Aeon in their previous forms. Budden.. Lovers?! So predictable.

And the way Trevor and Aeon managed the guards that they're not evil didn't make sense too. Yeah, it's all about good prevailing over evil, but aren't they like abit too easy to convinced?? There no evidence, no nothing. All Trevor did was hurl some bullshit at them and they believe that their chairperson was a traitor.

Doesn't make sense, right?

At the end of the movie, I realized I dropped my wallet inside the cinema! Luckily managed to get it back. Else sibeh sianz.

Went for supper with bun after that. Supper supper every night. Body full of cellulite. Okay, cellulite is only found in women and not in the whole body in any case, but I can't find a better word that rhymes.

We were talking about how we're gonna spend our Christmas. All 3 of us single, but I think they both have dates. Me how?

Stay home and be couch potato? Ahahah.

Tong Xin Yuan

Today was the last episode of Tong Xin Yuan.

It's the first time I watched an entire episode of this series. I seldom watch TV lah. But today I watch cos 1) Simply because it's the last episode. 2) I want to see what ADRIAN PANG AS DA DI is like in the show. Since it's confirmed that I do look like him. Even though I don't think so. Now eveytime I see him on TV I want to laugh.

Wah lau, if got one Ruan Mian Mian likes me like she likes da di then shiok loh. Chio somemore. And tall. And nice. Woo hoo. If lah, if.

And, what kind of a name is Ruan Mian Mian?! But I think it's damn cool lah. Next time can name my daughter that. And if I get a boy I will name him Ying Bang Bang.

EH actually no ah, I already have a list of their names in mind liao ah. Surname Ang got alot of names can take. Ang Mo Kio, Ang Moh Tan, Ang Ku Kueh. But I think my kids will hate me when they grow up if I do give them these names.

Ting says my grand kids will call me Ang Gong Gong. Sounds like eunuch.

Sam (my jie's bf) refers to my brother as xiao di. And what does he refer to me as? Yes, da di. And that was even before TXY started.

I mean, what kind of disgusting coincidence is this?

BBQ-mania

Last week BBQ, tomorrow BBQ, Saturday BBQ, 20th Dec BBQ.

Kangkang thinks he might kena high cholesterol before the end of holidays.

Another day of doing what I want to do

Bball with world's saddest team today. I hate playing after rainy weather cos the ball doesn't go where it's supposed to go and it's damn slippery, cannot run!

I was a filial son today and bought laksa yong tau foo home and ate with my mum. So yummy leh.

Then basically just played warcraft and slacked on my bed and read until bth and fell asleep hahahah what a decadent lifestyle, but I like.

*yawnZ*

Cow just came back from Taiwan. He was telling us about this fortune teller they went to see, so interesting. I also want to go and see a fortune teller! But I scared they talk rubbish. Wait tell me I will die of cancer or get dumped by 99 women in my life or will die broke then I will be very sad.

Talking of dying of cancer, I just realized a few days ago that because of my insurance, if I die today, my family will be $150,000 richer!

Might not be that significant a sum to them, cos like my mum always says, if choi choi choi already, give them how much money also no use. That's why my parents forbid us from buying insurance one. Especially my dad, who thinks it's very suei to buy insurance.

Budden eh, it's like, the only way I could do a little something for my family ah. Plus I'm so tee kee, of course don't listen lah hahah.

Working out

Went to the GYM with dong and bun today. Bm thinks going to the gym is so not me. I think so too. Aiyah, budden they want to come use the gym here, so I have to go with them wad.

Anyway, they worked out a good sweat lifting weights and stuff while I roamed around mostly trying to strengthen my legs and waiting for them to get tired.

After about 20 minutes dong said "wah, my back very pain."

Aha. The moment has arrived. I immediately went "steady, let's go and eat!"

And yeah, we had fried oyster and one spring chicken which I'm absolutely sure negated all the exercise we had done in the last 20 minutes. I didn't even perspire much aiyo.

On the way back there was this super duper chao ji wu di strong gust of wind that went on for about 5 minutes. It was really super strong and for a moment I thought the end of the world was coming.

And there was this girl wearing a skirt and was trying to press it down so that she doesn't zao geng hahah so amusing.

Knowledgable xyz says that the monsoon season is coming but I don't even know what that means. I know I know, last time geography got teach, but remember that I was a bad student.

I only know remember monsoon drain.

Car Wash

I suddenly got reminded of the time when I went to be a car washer hahah. The pay was sibeh jialat, and the work was lagi worse. But I think it gave me a chance to come into personal contact with the people of a class I would never have known otherwise.

Sabah and Din are from Malaysia. As in, the rural parts I think, they're really really poor. They were much more experienced than me but had lower pay than me! I mean, my pay is already like, peanuts. And more than 50% of their first three months' pay gotta be paid to their agents! And the rest? A LITTLE into their pockets, and the rest back to their families.

This is what I normally only hear about or see on TV, but I just didn't expect car washers to be this cham as well.

Given their pay, I think go one time Marche pok kai liao.

Mine was like, less than $4 per hour loh, don't remember how much exactly. My family and friends thought I was mad. My sister even said go wash car, later papa's friends see how?! Yeah my papa's in the car business, but hey, the car business and washing cars business are 2 different lines!

What's more, wash car wad, not say go rob bank or con people! I AM poor wad, I AM working for money wad, nothing wrong about that wad. I like cars, and coming into contact with cars everyday and seeing chio chio cars everyday brings me joy.

Hey, I've even driven a SLK there! Well I had a chance to drive WRX but oh well I missed it. The Porsche and Maserati ask me drive I also don't dare too. I wanted to try RX8 as well but none came leh. My dream car at that time was Mazda6 and yeah, I've driven it! Alfa Romeo is damn hard to drive. I'll never buy Alfa Romeo car.

Yeah, kang kang can be sibeh tee kee at times.

First few days really wash until I want to die man. Yao1 suan1 bei4 tong4. But cannot quit because I TEE KEE WANTED THE JOB. I'm like a bull sometimes, I think.

So yeah, I hung on for like 15 days, a few days a week only, cos I haven't ORD that time and had to go back once in awhile. SHHH.

Anywayz, Sabah and Din were damn nice people. As in, down-to-earth. Sometimes see them like that also quite gek sim. Makes me realize how lucky I am. They couldn't speak proper English and we had to converse in part-english part-sign language at times hahah. Also learnt abit of malay from them.

They very take care of me one, always ask me to eat first. But I don't geddit. Everytime at about 11 plus I already hungry until want to die, they can tahan?! They said they're 'used to it.' Omg, I don't think I can ever get used to this kind of shit.

They were quite unhappy there actually. Mean boss, lousy pay, hard work. I'm lucky in the sense that I could sack the boss any time I want, but they can't. This is one reason I wanted to stay on for abit more. I don't wanna give up so soon. And of course, it's due to the fact that if I don't fulfil 15 days of work I don't get paid :(

Sabah was telling me he got lobang at JE library, as cleaner. When I first heard this I wanted to laugh cos a job as a cleaner sounded like a joke, no?

What stunned me even more was, he asked me if I'm interested!!!

WTF!?!?!? ME, CLEANER?!?!?

But the way he asked really made me cannot laugh ah. He was so serious. He wanted to save me from this god damn job. I wanted to tell him, but hey, my family's probably like ten to twenty times richer than the BOSS loh.

Why the fuck would I go and be a cleaner?! Is it really so hard to understand that err... a car washer could actually be a car washer because he er... likes cars?

Oh well, that's hilarious, come to think of it.

I also saw the snobbish side of rich people. I think when some of them saw me they thought I was malaysian or something. And the way some of them behaved was really damn jialat loh. Got money big fuck meh.

There was one time I got SCOLDED BY THIS FREAKIN TURBAN-WEARING ASSHOLE!!!!! I am already abit racist by nature. Somemore he had to SCOLD ME.

KNNBCCB. He better not let me see him outside. I hope he old liao lose his job come my company be security guard. I WILL MAKE HIM KNEEL ON HIS KNEES AND APOLOGIZE.

He is obviously the type of person who will lick his boss's balls to get promotions and stuff. And discriminate against people of lower social standing than him. People don't discriminate against him I think he should tou xiao liao. And what right does he have?!

Because he's rich?? Nabeh, his car isn't even expensive loh!! Fuckin SAAB. Now I hate that brand. It was a YELLOW CONVERTIBLE LOH.

SIBEH UGLY LOH.

AS UGLY AS THE OWNER.

Ta ma de, whenever I think of it I still sibeh angry. It was not just the fact that I got scolded at a measly-paying job. I was scolded because he thought I was some poor bloke who needs the money from the fuckin job!

I wanted to stuff his turban down his throat and smash his car there and then.

*Drinks a cup of water and comes back*

And this is not all I learnt of the ugly side of human beings. The boss. When he found out that I came from a well-to-do (note: not RICH. just well-to-do) family, he started to treat me nicer and tried to suck up to me loh. On the day I left he even told me next time can go there and let him wash my car. So fake leh. Ask him wash my KAR.

And he tells me weird jokes. He drives a red Kangoo. When I asked him if he has a car himself, he said got, got one red Ferrari. I was like, wah, really ah, okay. Then he say, there, u never see meh? Just now outside shop that one. That really caught me off guard and I really didn't know what I should do man. It's not funny loh!!

But on a more serious note, I think his way of doing business also not very right lah. No welfare at all man, his workers all work until want to die. He doesn't know how to turn down customers. People say want to come he just lets them come without considering the workload at the moment. Care about earning money nia.

Oh well, human nature. But seriously, I don't think he'd last long man.

Wah piang, why I ramble so much about an old job. Hahah but well, this is one working experience I'll never forget lah. Ever.

Bballing with young lads

I was with Keith and my bro. All 3 of us were er.. quite tall. The opposing team was made up of 3 young lads. All not very tall but young and energetic. So nice eh. I think I'm really getting old; when I see lads living life I feel very happy for them hahah.

There was this lad from Tong Whye also. For the uninitiated, just know that it's a very good team.

That Keith kept bullying them ah, he so big size, somemore never wear shirt, still ying4 ying4 wanna post up on the poor lads. Play until I abit paiseh also. But I think the lads enjoyed the challenge alot ah. Old men vs small kids hahah.

End of 3 games I scolded Keith ah, say we like very jian lydat. But his argument was that we have height, they have speed and energy, so fair wad. My brother thinks so too!

Then I was like..err.. we don't have speed and energy meh??

Hahah oh well, the age-old debate of whether using height is unfair. But well, I think we didn't need to resort to him posting up every single time. And I think he feels very proud that we won them 4 games in a row hahah.

But it was good fun lah.
