im starting school soon, for those who are still reading, jan 2009 unisim BA Visual Communications w/ buisness. drop me a note or smt if we're headed in the same school ya?

Taiwan!!!!!!!ZOMG青蛙下蛋！！！！！！！

2008-07-11T22:25:00.023+08:00

Taipei is awesome

And dang its cheap.

A return air ticket from jetstar cost us SGD460++, Quality is top-notched compared to rest of the budget airlines. The flight took us 6hours

Right, touchdown at 桃园 airport and away we went, whisked onto one of the many private shuttle coaches leading into 台北. The coach cost us like less then S$10 (which is NT$220) each. Trip wasn't too bad, seats were comfy. We had to transit once onto a commercial bus once we were near city center.

not our ride into taipei. you gotta love american cars on
asian roads.

Checked into Rainbow hotel, abit homo of a name, but convenient and cheap. Best of all, it's smacked right in the center of 西门町.

西门町, Like no where else in singapore.

our first meal in Taipei.

Some curry rice. taste normal. cheap nontheless

Then it was time to hit the sack for the next day.

Taipei Metro, buying their travel cards.

Singapore's temples are nth compared to Taipei's.

Taipei LongShan temple...

...with our beautiful host.

Wufenpu for the ladies.

random poster in wufenpu

And GuangHua for the guys. The IT products are not substantially cheaper la, just that you have the entire neighborhood all peddling IT products.

Then its back to Wufenpu to pick up the ladies.

Raohe night market, pretty near wufenpu

queuing for the 胡椒饼.

finally! they taste fantastic!

tried my hands on some fish games. caught nth. bla.

Well we figured we had time and space left in our stomach, so to Shilin night market

Shilin night market, this is THE place to go for all your foodies needs

lynn with the super big 豪大大 chicken chop.

Taipei's variation of Or Jian. tasty!

milk tea

mango and strawberry ice, they actually add milk in the ice shavings.
Truly awesome

Food in Taiwan is beyond excellent, no doubt Singapore has a fair share of local delights, but seriously, Taiwan food are more.. flavorful and most importantlty, cheap! These pictures don't really do them food justice methinks.

The Shilin shoppin district.

That concludes the 2nd day of Taipei. onwards!

Third Day

To 北投 for hotspring, the ladies wasn't too keen to try the public baths so we ended up in a hotspring resort. The rooms were fantastic! plushy beds and a see through washroom, perfect for couples, definitely not for 3 burly guys.

metro station

the bath

The spring water was HOT! ass burning, balls melting hot! us noobs actually had to let the water lie to cool before sinking our butts in. I felt abit light headed after the bath, guess its the temperature at work.

Right, so after the refreshing and foot-rot killing hotspring, its time to head to 淡水, Taipei's excuse for a beach, haha! Taipei's definitely not for the typical beach going type i reckon.

情人桥 at 渔人码头. looks awfully like OCS bridge.

=D

Next up, 淡水老街. Must-try the following.

the super long ice cream cone. this is actually the small 1,
not too much an ice cream guy myself

me queuing for the ice cream

阿给 and hungry AK

阿婆铁蛋. legendary shit

Onwards to Miramar, where the big ferris wheel is, didn't expect it to be that big really. Superb view over Taipei once you're in the cabin, pity though, our cabin was fogged up quite badly.

miramar.

the ferris wheel

yap, lynn and AK before the ferris wheel

view from the cabin

keroro gunso!

哇，好久好久没update个blog了，大家好吧？别误会了我喔，不是不再blog了，只是真的是抽不出空来好好的update。唉。。做个officer真是不简单，做个newbie officer lagi jialat。不只天天被夹在中间，还要the impossible搞成possible就因为！"you are an officer!".

哪。。讲了那么多，其实今天真正的目的是想借此机会宣布我的喜事喔。其实大家应该懂了。可是还是把它 made known officially 比较好吧。。一个月了宝贝！哈哈。那个人就是我那“结婚照“里的phreety lady。哈哈。

changes, or lack of it.

2007-09-16T16:33:00.000+08:00

There are changes that are so sudden, one day it was the way it was, the way we remembered it to be for oh so many years and changed/molested/mangled/improved the other. we're only glad that there are somethings that doesnt change, even when you've taken your eyes off it for a long time. kinda like a faithful friend. always there, looking, smelling and sounding the same.

like mr old dog here.

like this dice patterned thing.

we live in a too fast changing world. i believe i've emphasized again and again that, sometimes, its best to just slow down, take a refreshing look at the things you've left behind, look into your surroundings and compare changes. interesting.

simple swing, but a treasure chest of memories actually.

used to cycle here when i was a kid

well.. see.. all these really chim shit blog entires really isnt my thing you see.. but really. take a look at things you haven't bothered to lay eyes on for the past few years. and you might just discover something.

words of an emotional old fuck.

Caught

with.psst. sorry i was late

amazing amazing amazing. definitely one of the top shows worth your money these days. makes u realise there are still films out there that actually can make you laugh your hearts out and cry your guts out within an hour's interval. a must-see dear friends.

*spoilers abound*
bright colors, arthouse meets documentary.intrigue.
love the acting of mindee ong and yeo yann yann and qi yuwu. the chemistry between the 2 sisters were breathtaking and the relationship they share with qi yuwu were frustratingly good. it didn't help that qi yuwu (guan yin) was dumb (as in he couldnt speak. not stupid). really sad ending though.. =\

now go book your tickets if you havent done so unless you want me to call you techno cat for the rest of your lives.

oh. and i love the show so much i typed out the theme song's lyrics in chinese!

das uber weekend

2007-05-13T17:06:00.000+08:00

Long frutiful weekend i had, i've never felt so enriched for a very long time already since i donned my greens. This despite having a loose ligament on my knee, yeah you read it right, i might be actually going out of course, so much for pride huh.. im sour over this, but i guess it cant be helped if i have to be axed cus of injuries.

Oh and. brunei sucked quite hard. haha. shalln't relate my training there in the blog for security purpose. interested parties buy me a drink, we'd talk. =D

This weekend was awesome, Thurs night was out for friends for late night movies, Spiderman 3, super lacklustre. save your money. Friday night was out yet again for movies, 28 weeks later, which was soooo much better. Supper after that at geylang at some dim sum store (thank you for the directions cindy!). Drove like a maniac on the way home, muahaha!

Saturday night was supposedly set away for clubbing, but wasnt really in the mood. supposed to meet up with AK and co for dinner but forgotten all about it, did however managed to catch drinks with them after dinner though. headed to chomp chomp with my buds for seafood, food was alright but the talk cock was top class. jian hong and kenny, if you guys are reading this... happy enlisting! muahaha!

Sunday afternoon, went pray with parents, not that im the religious sort really, but i guess it means quite a fair bit to my parents so.. why not? haha. can see vegetables summore. shopped around whilst waiting for my amulet to be fixed, eyed a few brighter colored tops but didn't get my hands on any.. meh~

Lunch at ajisen with mum, seems like she digs the ramen, which was.. good! haha more excuse to dine out now. She saw this picture i took with waicheng and she commented she looked like some hongkong actress, then i asked her, "then i look like hong kong actor boh?"

she laughed so hard i swear the ramen was gonna get airtime.

seems like mothers dun pang chance for their own son 1 also. kaoz.

pictures!

the hongkong actress and the not so hong kong actor. =(

2007-02-24T22:45:00.000+08:00

hey hey, ok i know i know, its been a good one week since cny, but im gonna post it up now anyways. cny was actually great this year! minus the gambling and alcohol even. im mr fit remember? haha. fuck, you bloody wished! how could dear ol alcholic me quit! bah! well no statistics this year round, but its definitely much lesser then previous years. yay.

well we got to book out on cny eve's eve. which is.. great! in fact, everything was great. although they were essentially the same as every other year.. but it was the company that matters doesnt it.haha. well due to time constraints, i couldn't get to visit as much as i'd like to.. so.. my ang bao's pretty sucky this time round...

to hell with cash anyways, im gonna be a bazillionare. cus i can finally play mahjong! ha! and i aint half bad ok? but don't you fuckin' experts try to carrot head me yet. aint no punk bitch ye hear! naahaha, feel so bloody smart can when you outwit lao jiaos who've been playing for god-knows-how-long. mahjong isnt a lazy man game afterall. im so good in fact, i've decided to write a book.

not. i aint got time. fuck.

ok well no books, but playing mahjong is indeed good fun. haha! especially when you're winning! and YES fellows! i WON! i WON THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED MAHJONG! A BIG FAT $12! $12! just for sitting down and massaging small ceramic cubes! this is career i say. wooo hoo!

REEEEWIND!

2007-02-20T18:36:00.000+08:00

And so, i have been in army a good 5months now, i have been to far more then what i thought my body and mind could possibly give and i must say im addicted to that feel, it kinds of makes you feel invincible, untouchable, top of the world. I used to be the sort that requires quite alot of foreign input before i dared to approach something new but now, whey hey, im a changed man no less, im definitely more decisive then before, and most of the decisions dun suck like they used to.

So well, yet again i am met with another crossroad in NS, should i stay in infantry, or artillery. for simplicity sake, i would exclude all job scopes from the different vocations, all i would say is. infantry gets to stay back at SAFTI MI, thats the cool new uber clean rooms we live in now. but with tougher trainings.

Artillery on the other hand, you get to go back to community living (8 man bunk as far as i know) amenities are appalling and the food sucks. but life over there is quite a bit more easier as far as i know. going to artillery means that i would be closer to home, so close in fact i could walk there. =D

But, going to artillery means ditching all the mates i've made in OCS thus far, and starting things anew in a fresh new scary environment, and i diss that feeling qutie a fair bit.

well just for info's sake, i've opted for artillery. but i must confess my passion isnt there. so i guess its all or nothing for me yet again.. haha!

im fuckin sick and tired of being lonely.

Should i get a car? or should i study? dilema dilema

2007-01-29T17:42:00.000+08:00

Now this thought has been grazing through my head these couple of days, though my NS pay is meagre at best, after some number crunching i realised i DID have enough (barely) to get a second hand car. You folks should know how much a petrolhead i am, and given that this is the first time i could actually afford a ride myself, im kinda over the moon about it already.

But alas, we all do know what happens when people gets over the moon, they forget about the tiny little details that would eventually get blown out of proportion and cause u a limb or two. Now we wouldnt want that to happen to dear ol alvin would we?

So the next best thing is is just, simply, save up, not necessarily just for studies i guess, can be for anything, from getting married to getting a better ride further on in life. blaaaah!! i hate dilemas! rah!

To lead, to excel, to overcome...

2006-12-31T13:09:00.001+08:00

...and its not as easy as it sounds.

As you observant bunch could tell, this blog is really getting cobwebs. plainly cause i really cannot afford the luxury of time these days. *sigh*. i really missed those days i could wake up after a whole night of partying, reach out to my computer and laze the whole day in front of it. i missed those days where i go to school, and laze around with my clubmates...

man and do i miss freedom, cus thats something we can never have in this 2 years. never.

well, enough of ranting, lets get down to buisness shall we? Bet you guys wants to know how's it like in OCS

Im in hotel wing, thats 'H' wing for those less prolificient in army terms. Supposedly one of the tougher wings. we were supposed to have a 3 week confinement period much like the rest of the cohort but it seemed that xmas and new year saved us.

it doesnt make things easier though, everything is so packed, we were given a record 9 minutes to shit/bath/call home at the end of the day. Every other free time we have, we were essentially doing field pack standardisation and whatsnot.

But what they take away from you, they give you welfare to make up. i must say we cadets have the best living conditions in the whole of SAF, 2-men rooms complete with furnitures and a computer, though its not like we have anytime to use it. The food is awesome too, much much better then those grub they serve in tekong.

Im just back from a 2day field camp and im down with fever already, the rain throughout the duration didnt help much i guess.. ha...

oh, and thank you guys who smsed me birthday wishes, i apologise for the lack of corespondence, my phone was down for the week.

thus said, a belated merry xmas to all, and may a new beautiful chapter grace your life in the coming new year.

off to ocs

2006-12-17T23:21:00.000+08:00

gd' bye fellas! i hope i'd be back for xmas!

2006-12-14T19:24:00.000+08:00

hey peeps, im sorry i neglected to update, i've been too busy doing my own stuff these few days, in case you guys didn't know, im having my block leave now, around 15 days of free time, now you would ask, what would a nsf do with so much free time? well i've been practically going out at every opportunity i have with whoever i know. the rest of the time are spent with my family, doing chores, getting groceries are other daily whats-not.

but it surely seems like the blog isnt the only thing i neglected, i just finished jogging like what... 4km or less? and i think im gonna die or something already. heh, seems like i've got lots to catch up in my physical fitness when its back to army life again. well speaking of which, i just had my Passing out parade week back. here are some pictures if you want em, there are more in my digicam but im missin' the cables. so you guys would have to wait ya? so with no further adieu, i give to you..

long bookout this week, out with friends almost every day, gotta book in soon so i'd make it short.

say you love retro boys.

A l'll piece of heaven will do just fine. thank you.

GEEEEEKKKKK!!!!

"hmmm"

ok thats it! more botak pictures of me. haha! cya folks in 2 weeks time! going for field camp, for those that doesnt know what's that, it practically means alvin's off to sleep with the wild boars, centipedes and whatsnot. BUHBYE!

updates, or kinda.

2006-10-07T20:27:00.000+08:00

i used to wonder why when enlistees bookout, the only topic they can talk about are happenings in their company, their platoon, their section and whatsnot. I must be frank, i find those topic simply irrelevant and boring.

But now as an enlistee myself, i could comprehend why; you got no FUCKING thing to talk about besides army life, cus your life IS army life. Even news on the outside world takes at least 3 days to reach us via word of mouth. Newspaper are scarce and there are simply no time to watch tv at the mess room. So what'd we do when we bookout? we can only talk about stuff that we know, and the only things we know is army drills, more army drills and punishments.

it sucks i say.

but thats where it ends i guess, NS isnt bad really, fine i admit, my coy's verrry welfare. But i had loads of fun, it sounds sick, but its fun too when you screw up and get nagged at. I think im getting more and more, how'd i say...... "not to take things too seriously". yeah. i guess thats it. im happier then ever before i can tell you, i dun feel stressed up over tiny things anymore. i learn to just smile it off at the end of the day. it feels good.

now, whats a blog update without my own updates. so here you go dear readers. alvin is appointed as the platoon ic, that means i have to learn all those drill commands, i have to account from strength at least 5 times a day and i have to do more pumpings then the others. but its fun lah, like almost every other thing in BMT.

what else.. oh.. i sprained my shoulder.. no biggie, can even do pullups as of today. i've stopped drinking and smoking as of now too, figured theres no point deterioting my physical condition i worked so hard to build up.

man i miss the club peeps man.. i miss my pals too. I MISS YOU GUYS! CALL ME DATE ME! rawr!

Ima Taurus warrior!

2006-09-21T20:40:00.000+08:00

Hey folks, betcha missed me havent you? if you havent, shame on you and you ought to die lonely. well anyways, if you haven't realised it yet, im officially known as Recruit LY Teu from BMTC2 Taurus Platoon 3 Section 2 bed 9, 3209 for short.

Life in Tekong aint half bad i think, at least for now. everything's still within my capabilities i guess. coming to what makes tekong fun, my bunkmates! haha boy do i have to talk about them. they're a real fun bunch i tell you, pity though we havent really got the time we want to really go out and know each other.

Theres this fella, Jack, our Platoon's timer man. one of the best natural comedians i've ever seen i tell you, only he dares to swing the broomstick like a clown when there are 2 sergeants doing stand by bed. He can be damn serious when he has to, best of both worlds i guess.

Then there's wayne, my buddy buddy, who's like damn steady lah can? everything also "ok lah set 1" uber buddy i tell you. haha! thank goodness both of us are new to regimental life, so we spend most of our time covering each other's buttocks, or smacking them with towels. on that topic, i realised i have the perkiest butt in the entire section, or maybe the entire platoon. so perky i get abrasion on my tailbone doing situps. meh!

Anyways, marcus got posted to OCS, and i'd be frank, i'd love to do that too. i've got a long way to go but im pretty sure i've got the correct crowd around me to just do that. =)

They say that in the army, you learn to treasure those little meager things you took for granted as a civilian, simple things like walking on your own down the street becomes a privilege only extended to non recruits in army camps, news and information saturate the streets everywhere but in the army camp we get newspaper a day old.

Simple fare our mothers prepare becomes a sumptous treats that can equal the best of chefs when you're in the army. or rather, when you taste army food. No, don't get me wrong, the food they serve over there are entirely edible and probably delicious. but it doesnt emits that same feeling you get when you dine with your loved ones around the dining table. Thats something we all took for granted.

I came home today, and i chatted with my mum the entire day, the entire entire day, i realised i've got so much to tell her. yet another privilege we all took for granted, communicating. we've only got enough communication as long as the batteries on our mobile lasts in camps.

Time, i'd cut things short and just shoot you an example. i ever visited the washroom, shitted, polished my boots, call home all in a single time frame. i took 45minutes to bath when i was a civilian.

meh, i miss all ma friends, and i must complain! i havent been receiving any smses from you buggers. so c'mon msg poor ol alvin and make his day k?

TEKONG LOH!

2006-09-07T00:41:00.000+08:00

part 2

2006-08-07T20:34:00.000+08:00

7) You're the most committed guy i've seen throughout my poly life, really. Though i was quite sick of your constant nagging when it comes to club affairs whilst i was serving in your committee, i came to realise the constant pressure that you have to come under and balancing out your life as a whole. I say, not alot of ppl stay on and watch the club grow like you and me. i know i make fun of you for that alot, but hey! dun let that stop you boy, i think you deserve sufficient credits for teaching the young ones the ropes.

but but but, you really need to tone down at times, i know you are eager to get your point across, so was i, but sometimes sitting down and listenning is actually the best way to get your views audible to the others. lose your temper when it comes to sports too, i know sports actually is one of your top priorities in life. but sometimes we just HAVE to let loose and have FUN. and only fun, fun that we can laugh off at the end of everything. how bt a round of applause for ICT/MIT club's oldest member heh?

8) you're my greatest critic, and i must say one of the few that actually makes shopping fun. nope, not by participating, but by doing the contary. NOT shopping. you are a lady-gonnabe i tell you, give it some time, some influence and i seriously wouldnt mind dating you anyday. we've known each other for quite some time now haven't we? but what's queer is actually how come we only get to know each other better after we graduated. i guess i wasnt totally into our class throughout the 3 years i guess, incidents prior to this too had made communication rare between us.

im glad we got to work together girl, stay really really pretty. =)

9) You're one of the handful few juniors i actually have fun with, boy i knew you would gonna make main comm the 1st day i saw you. really. you're full of ideals, but the sad thing is boy, you procrastinate way too much to really make them work. i tell you 3 years isnt that long a time, are your ambitions gonna stay ambitions and gradually fade to black? best make it work your way while you can boy

and you need to know your girl better. stay rich!

10) Another one of the juniors, you on the other hand, i NEVER thought would make main comm before i got to know you better, you're that shitty brat who mixes with your shitty brat friends who makes things difficult for the ex main comm. Little would i know you'd become rather involved in club affairs. And you.. you you you you you are the l'll piece of shit that started the "old man" thingy. huark you understand?! ah see now gena karma already, orbigud. hoho

you are a valuable asset to the main comm boy, you are the closest person in MC thats similar to me in attitude whilst i was serving my term. i know you probably love the club as much as anyone does. even more. but there is a much better way to show it rather then getting mad and losing your cool in front of your fellow committee. You need to learn how to really communicate, which means output AND input, learn how to listen to other ppl's views and understand the meaning behind them. and i tell you it'd benefit you in years to come.

and you need more time with your girl and you 2 need to evolve, cus love's a natural selection and the weak do not make the cut. =)

some blog things siyu made me do

2006-07-25T23:36:00.000+08:00

Instructions:
-Take a look at your friends, then list up to 10 things you want to say to 10 different friends.
-DO NOT state who these people are.
-DO NOT confirm or deny any "comment speculation".
-Then tag five 5 people.

1)i have no idea why we make such good friends seriously, everything about us are distant opposites but yet, its been over a decade already, so thats half our lifetime already isnt it? i still remember how you were the "boss" of the gang way back in primary school and made us join your prototyping drawing gang of sort. i still vividly recall how we got chased by stray dogs in my neighborhood and resorted to climbing trees and jumping into drains. yes boss, half a lifetime, 10 years and counting. and i am sure our kids would hear about our dumb pranks.

You need to learn how to interact with people more, like marcus says, you need to stop taking people for granted at times. surely though, we know changes doesnt happen overnight and for goodness sake, don't. we've learnt to laugh your damn C*B attitude off already. so take your time.

2)this one, i REALLY SUPER DUPER have NO idea why we can be friends for that long already, a decade also to be exact, you're the really quiet and introverted guy but you are actually quite opiniated inside. its a shame really, you have the ideals but you are always too shy to pull them off. Joke more man, broaden ur social circle and make them stick! remember: Chicks dun fall from the sky. Must go out and know them one ya? be more sure about yourself sometimes, you seem to blame yourself when things doesnt go your way cause u don't have enough confidence in yourself. take heart!

3)you've been always the really "sui bian" guy of our gang, though we've known each other relatively long too (since p5) i've never really gotten to know you deep down until we ended up in the same polytecnic course. events leading to clavius have too, shown me the real side of you, the side which has evaded us for quite a long while already. You seem nonchalent, but the truth is, you care more than anyone else. being in the toughest unit in BMT has proven that you're one tough sod. and your sonny's gonna grow up like you! rah!

4)you were the newest entry to our "old primary school" gang, starting out only in secondary 2, fact is, we wouldnt even have met if it weren't for jianhong. i can frankly tell you the days spent in that faithful holiday bungalow was the best time of my life till this point and i miss every little dumb ah beng ah lian antics we pulled off during that time. but alas, fate played a cruel trick and we were practically out of contact till 2 years later, when you contacted me to tuition you.

i didn't know, not that it matters now how i fell so deeply in love with you. you were practically my heart and soul for the next 13 months. though differences got the better of us at the end, i am proud to say you've made the biggest impact in my life. gone is that narrow minded old fool who loves to nag like a old man. i wouldnt say i am a 100% changed man. but yes. it is enough. Thank you.

5)you're the bestest female friend i have in the entire world! i think we click like no other cus both you and i and are lame like a crippled cow. Thanks to lynn for our fated friendship. You were the reall introverted sort on the outside, refusing to talk to guys alot that kind. but i must say mixing with us has made you become much more the TRUE person that you are inside. i feel your rantings to want to break out from this rigid system you have at home. i can assure you, it wouldnt take long before you truly have the freedom and the heart to go out and just hang loose. you are the most effective people i've known thus far, seems like every task becomes chicken feat once you've taken care of them. love you!

6)you started off as the most timid girl i've ever known, always quiet, always very "ok lor" one. fact is we're SUPPOSED to know each other way back since primary school, but i think i was too handsome at that time so i didn't pay attention to you (note: i am not stuck up). only got to know you when i was in secondary 3 cus i like to bio those guides chicks and most of my friends in secondary school was from scouts. i didn't know you much then, only knew you had your hair tied so tightly to the back it looks as if you're having a facelift.

come poly, what luck! ended up in the same school again, i remember i saw you coming into the booth and we both went "ehhh?!" haha! you signed up for the camp to my delight, and you proved a good sport actually. somehow i've still got to apologise for my dismeanours during the period of our courtship, i couldnt possibly apologise enough for the hurt i caused you. but yet you forgave me and still gave me your shoulder and someone to rant too when alvin the old man needs to. i am delighted to have you as my friend. bestest endeavour with your boy! remember what i said last night ya? it has only just begun. =)

7.8.9.10 tml then write, not emo now cannot type this kinda post. =P

i heart you

2006-07-19T04:00:00.000+08:00

its 4am in the morning, im bored stiff, im too tired to finish watching my DVDs and too awake for bed. so bored, i went and pondered about the kind of girl i would love to date. Dear reader's if you fit more than 90% of the criterias listed below, or know anyone who do. find a nearest wall you can find and wham your head on it a couple of times.

cus no, im not ready to be attached, just some eye candies for thoughts and for me to laugh at a few years down the road.

To my dear female readers, if you have a qualms against shallow men, please, do not read any further. im gonna be shallow for once (or maybe a couple of times)

1) she ought to have curls! i love girls with curls! I LOVE GIRLS WITH CURLS! like emily's =(

2)she ought to be at least of kissable height compared to me, standing up.
im currently standing at 184 (courtesy of MINDEF) so go measure up.

3)monetary wise, im not too concerned, she can spend my money as much as i can provide and yes, that means your prada and gucci if i can afford it down the road.

4)this point's abit ambiguous. i would love someone to be fun-loving, but also homely like yours truly. that means, im fine if you party hard, just come back unfucked and undrunk at the end of the day.

5)i have pms-isque behaviours at times. either fix me or live with it.

6) those lovey dovey i-cant-live-without-you relationships don't work, or rather, doesnt work SO FAR, so im not keen to try. be independent.

7) matured, i think the problem with me is, i cant stand having to babysit someone, having to bring myself a mentality lower to communicate with oneself and handling quarrels and disagreements the immature way.

7b)as such, i would prefer NOT to date girls whom are more than 2 years younger than me.

8)i can stand you having tonnes and tonnes of GENUINE male buddies whom you wouldnt mind me getting along with. so i probably require more or less autonomicity from you when it comes to me and my female buddies.

9)the ability to communicate with me without any difficulties, im a good guesser at times i reckon, but im no mind reader, neither do i have the constituition to probe. u think we both have a problem, please oh so kindly bring it out. i'd gladly swallow my ego, weld shut my mouth. toothpick open my eyes and listen to you.

10) CONFIRM PRUS CHOP MUST! MUST MUST! have curls! like emily. =(

i heart my adobe illustrator

2006-07-11T23:18:00.000+08:00

addicted to vectors i tell you, so much so im re-learning how to use illustrator. talk about a GDIT lesson 3 years in the making!

you can view my works on here

be warned though, extremely nooby and quite possibly nauseating for art lovers.

DON'T LIKE MY NEW BLOG

2006-07-01T13:50:00.000+08:00

my first grunge work, credits to www.angryblue.com (brushes) and the creator of the "Skratch Punk" fonts. open for comments.

sides, headed back to school to collect my long overdue graduation package, my seat number will be ff 36, anyone seated in that vicinity? Took the whole day off so that i could attend the 2006/2007 main committee annual general meeting which i must say, an exceptional job well done fellows. Headed to JP for dinner with some of them and took some pictures on the way, will post them up after i come back from my primary school reunion dinner. Watched fatboy86 spend 10 bucks on some arcade machine and went home. boring me.

in fact, so bored i was, i rumaged through my early designs and gave them an overhaul, made a couple of new works and this blogskin. still ain fantastic yet but i reckon im improving no?

random old pictures

2006-06-24T00:41:00.000+08:00

found this in this treasure chest of mine. enjoy.

im jolly well alive and kicking butts!

2006-06-22T22:38:00.000+08:00

been working so much that i've neglected to update in awhile. sorry peeps

well, work's alrite, nothing much to complain about, can get quite fun sometimes since shimin's around and i can crack silly things to do to her. pay's mediocre at best but enough at the very least.
Coming to think of it, i think this is the first time ever im getting paid this much per month, i remember i used to work at some PRC infested factory earning 600 a month. now those were like slave labour alrite?

and well. apparently the potential buyer of my house got iffy and got out of the deal, so im still stayin at my good ol place until the next sucker comes around. so, meh~

oh yes, and i've been informed of a primary 6 reunion, how cool is that?! i mean, its been 8 years!!!! now now, we do have a mini reunion every other weekend actually, but more a singles-anonymous club meeting to me. hahaha! ok well cept for terence that bloke, out of place as usual. But i must say, i wouldnt be like this or anything remotely close to what i am now if it weren't for these buncha eggheads, though its funny that we are practically pole opposites of each other, Marcus the quiet thinker, Terence the charismatic cheat young girls kor kor (bleh) and Stedtson the mysterious one. Doesnt sound like a match made in heaven is it? haha! but heck, we click like those irritating npcc shoes (bad pun i know). Oh apparently Stedtson and Marcus are enlisted in da army already, shucks. and i couldnt be present at their send-off cus i had to work. *sigh* ah well, but they're back home as we speak, so a meetup this weekend would probably be good.

Old friends are quite possibly the walking diaries of our lives i say, so screw blogs and those sissy diaries. get yourself an old friend. like alvin (comes with receding hairline and a golden nissan sunny)

Now on to romance, just so you know alvin the old and useless is still very well UNATTACHED. YES! you seen it first here on alvinlovesu.blogspot.com, now what cha gawkin' at! start introducing chicks to me damn it!

haha well, on the other hand, nah.. don't. i don't have the constituition to have relationship already. shimin couldn't have said it better. maybe its quite hard to move on afterall. ha. silly me.

Mr felix from nigeria!

Guess what found its way into my mailbox?

From The Desk Of FELIX CAMARA

Senior Staff In File Department, African Development Bank A.D.B Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso West Africa. Private Number......00226 76 08 66 92. PLANE CRASH WEB SITE http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html ( "REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE") Compliment Of The Season, On a very good day. I am (FELIX CAMARA) a senior staff in file department in African developent bank (ADB).I got your contact from a Yahoo Tourist Search. When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured of your capability and reliability to champion this businees opportunity when i prayed to God or Allah about you.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 15 million U.S.A dollars ( fifteen million U.S.A dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in (friday december 26,2003 ) in a plane crash. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official in my department now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after five years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for ;me and my woman colleague. There after I and my colleague will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted.Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me on my number 00226 76 08 66 92. immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately. Your’s faithfully, FELIX CAMARA POST SCRITUM:You have to keep everything secret as to enable the transfer to move very smoothly in to the account you will prove to the bank.As you finished reading this letter call me immediately so that we discuss very well over this business.Please call me and inform me that you received my mail, because i don't go to net always. .........................................................................................

well if it isnt my very first nigerian scam, plane crash news report included! boy did this felix camara went to absurd lengths to scam poor ol me. well, i've seen my fair share of nigerian scam mails and i must say Mr Felix has the best command of the language compared to his compatriates . Now who can refuse to reply to a mail like this? not me..

(paiseh hor, abit small, click to view enlarged version =D)

now to see whether Mr Felix replies. *rubs hands in anticipation*

sell the house, lets all fuck up our lifes

2006-05-28T21:36:00.000+08:00

dedicated to myself, note to self in years to come; i will never be like my father, never

note to my dearest eldest brother, i don't care about the fact that you earn 12k a month, i don't care how your wife insulted my mother when it was the man you call Daddy who took a loan from you.

i don't care if you think $200 a month could keep a family of 3 alive, i don't care if you treat me like shit since the day i was born.

but remember daddy, for he was the one that put you through your honours when you flunked out of vocational institute.

maybe you wouldnt even remember, but at least make your wife remember the fact that daddy spent almost a quarter of a million on you. i rest my case

i hate you, you fucked up.

mini nose me!

2006-05-22T20:57:00.000+08:00

hello fellow readers, dear friends and loving family members, this post signifies a milestone of my meager 20 years of life, for i have turned a new man today. i'd cut to the chase and just show you the pictures. i must warn you the following pictures would be nasty, blood, broken bone tissues everywhere. it's really ugly. Like what they always say on TV, viewer discretion is advised.

i must maintain that this entire picture has not been photochopped in 3 minutes in anyways by the author himself out of boredom.

ok fine, so i figured just pushing up the nose isnt going to make me brad pitt, so i decided to do a little more nip tuck, reshaping the face a little, enlarging the cheekbones, bla bla bla and what i have.. would make brad himself shit his pants.

foo yo.

sigh, poor mr sunny

2006-05-19T00:00:00.000+08:00

my sunny got buanged from behind while dad was driving, whole boot crumpled in. pics coming up, dad's ok though. phew.

darn u spastic jb driver! *shakes fist*

working life, sort of

2006-05-14T22:01:00.000+08:00

Yes, you've heard it, alvin is currently employed and slogging his ass for cash, working at this database management company which shimin introduced, quit a good working environment i must say, the company is small and most of the employee are around my age, so finding topics to chat about isnt hard at all, furthermore the bosses are really cool also, doesnt seem to have that boss-subordinate affair, but then again we get work done rather quick lah.

travelling is a breeze too, either 167 or 855 from my place, it's a stone's throw from queensway shopping centre so therefore, still relatively near to town. not bad for 7 bucks per hour eh? whats more, i can choose when i want to work.

so... the way i calculate, at this rate im working, 8 hour per day for 5 days a week, i hope to get back around a thousand, if not more, heh, can already smell my new LCD monitor, my new sneakers, my new running shoes, my new bag, my new clothes. muahaha!

old man cannot do push ups, drunk indians spotted on roof of SADM building

2006-05-10T21:17:00.000+08:00

Had a fantastic evening with Rachel, thank you soooo much girl, your bimbotic movie wasn't as bad as i expected it'd be and you made a great date! Sometimes it's so interesting to meet someone you haven't seen in ages, he/she could tell you how much you've changed.

she said :

i am gonna be cuter if i was a bit tanner, *blush* tan it is then! har har! i shall tan on lawn every afternoon! blame that slacker life im leading now! my waking hours are really strict ok? it says " anytime after 1pm"

note to self, wake your perky lazy bum everyday before 10am, but thats the long term goal, lets start with 12pm 1st ok? this means no more late night gaming.

I was much more civilised then before, well not that i was THAT bad when i was in secondary school what. women just love to scrutinise don't they. chey.
but ya i must agree though im vulgar still, i use them in a more appropriate manner and carry them off in such a way i actually sound exotic.

so note to self, less vulgarities, more civilised.

sent her back to her hostel and on the while waiting for the bus, spotted a few bangl... i mean indian nationals high on beer, on the roof of the SADM building! too bad no picture, see? how could you let such a rare photo opportunity go by? buy alvin a digicam now!

had a great day girl! im pretty sure it won't be 3 years until we see each other again. bleeh

oh and i got a job! thank you so much shimin. shall blog about it tommorrow i guess.

30 push ups, 15 barbell lifts as of today.

Wierd dreams.

2006-05-08T13:24:00.000+08:00

Remember how i told some of you i've been having really wierd dreams after i shifted my computer into my room? the LEDs i have on my casing illuminates the room in an eery green light everytime i fail to turn off the computer before i slept. The wierdest dream was about shawn getting eaten up by crocodiles and i must say i've been dreaming alot of this sort lately.

Just last night, i dreamt of a myraid of things, ranging from an oblivion/diablo-isque dream, to getting married with a particular girl i shall not name and i woke up with bloody hangovers, when all i drank last night was vitamin C. i think i was drunk in that dream somewhere.

the importance of being idle. and probably single too

2006-05-07T21:34:00.000+08:00

You get to help your mother with household chores, just this week yours truly has picked up ironing, hand washing techniques, and cooking chicken rice. So you losers out there with a job, smell my chicken rice and dynamo! ok la not really, i have $30 in my bank account so i can't go out. shucks.

Joy o joy, congratulations to the lovebirds! may love be sweet, sour, and probably abit of tom yam chilly hot hot for you girls/guys.

ok i need to get a gf. like now! NOW!! rah! raging hormones!

Esthero - Superheroes

2006-05-05T00:20:00.000+08:00

Stay awhile longer sweet tongue of fur and feather
There is a white breast
Waiting for you here...
Between the superheroes - and the electric blanket is warm

I could be sweet
I could be young, and fresh
If I werent so old and used
And wet and wet, I am wet

I try not to ruin the moment
Tell me all your secrets and your torments
Youre delicious, youre delicious...
Send me on a quest for lullabies - and more

What would it take for you to see
What I have got?
Ive got more than you know
Open your eyes, I cannot be - what I am not

Im not what I used to be, Im not what
Im not what I used to be, and i
I dont know myself - from anybody else
Im not what I used to be, Im not what
Im not what I used to be, and i
You dont know what you have done
My frame is here but the mind is gone - gone away

So stay awhile longer sweet tongue of fur and feather
Dont cut the white breast
Ive been waiting for you here

Im not who I used to be
Bigger and better and faster and wetter
And bigger and better and faster and better

Boy do i love genre defying music.

I got a haircut! i look young! thank you alan! and for the very first time i look in the mirror and figure i'd look good with a stud on my ear, but urk, i hate the sensation, besides, my parents would probably chop me up if i go home with blings on my ears.

met up with an old friend, and boy am i disappointed. we were chatting about how we are now, army stuff and all, then he started to get really curious about my employment status, uh-oh, i smell MLM. True enough, an sms came, and it reads:

"you need the money, and i can see that you are having a hard time finding a job, if you trust me, this job might solve all your current employment woes"

chowyunfatt! in no ways am i DESPERATE for jobs ok? at least not during our 5 minute conversation hello? and please, your sms spells "HEY I AM A LOUSY MLMER TRYING TO lEECH YOU OFF YOUR MOOLAHS"

no offence to my MLM friends, but i think i should write it down in black and white my 2 cents worth about MLM.

1) MLM is NOT ever going to replace retail as the primary product channel, Retail is here to stay.

2) MLM IS a good business model, but it's saturated with idiots.

3) MLM sits on the line between lying and persuading, non of them i agree upon

there you go, and now that bugger just called me 2 times.

/me on call blocker.

Ah well, back from my 3rd FO reunion, not bad i say, good job guys! sorry about getting lost ah dear passengers, brought them all the way to pasir ris, almost to hougang before i found the way to ecp, man.. i really need a GPS, a junhao or cindy on board. my sense of direction is total cmi.

reached there around 4pm, had to drive to car back to my cousin's place before joining the others for games and whatsnot. turnout was satisfactory, and yep, got to know a few more freshmens la. all in all a well planned event despite some aeroplanes being flown namley kenneth, and boy, if you happen to read my blog, please read: "U FAT PIECE OF LARD! THE NEXT TIME I FUCKING SEE U DISAPPEAR ON US AGAIN IM GONNA FUCKING SHOVE THE GUITAR INTO ANY AVAILABLE ORIFICE ON YOU!"

i dun like him.

rented blades with jason and er.. shit. what was his name, that malay looking chap who talks in hokkien. man!! jason blading rocks lah, or heck, maybe its just because he's young and im old. meeeeh... those sissy ppl who cycled decided to cycle to geylang or something, cheap thrills, low entertainment, didn't join them. just bladed here and there, my old muscles decided to go on strike, screaming:"Nooooo, not the latic acids!!" cramped up like mad. BAAHH i need to tone up!!

the wee hours were boring, cept for a few unexpected twist, firstly, i believe i owe a particular girl an apology for my actions, i guess im too psyched up over all these, you're probably way ahead of me and i shouldnt be the one making decisions for you. sorry.

Jeremy, Adrian, whatever that doesnt kill us, makes us stronger, look on the bright side, it was a night a blunders and plunders, but at least you learnt a great deal about yourself, your peers, and who are the ones that would stay around when you're in deep shit.

my back's killing me, i can't raise my shoulders and i feel like i just got spanked by some kinky girl.

The changing of time

2006-04-15T10:54:00.000+08:00

Been talking to this really OLD OLD OLD friend of mine, Rachel, and i've been wondering, how much have we all changed as time goes by.. lets see..

perspective

2006-04-13T15:57:00.000+08:00

Just yesterday, i was travelling back home on the back of the lorry, wind in my hair, eyes squinting in the warm but welcoming dusk sun. We were travelling back from Jurong point, so the route's roughly similar to the one i take when i was shuttling between SP and home.

But this time it was entirely different, now it wasn't the wind in my somewhat miniscule bunch of hair im sure and it was definitely not the first time im seated at the back of the lorry.

The perspective was different.

Now let me explain, normally whilst driving home, my eyes are on the road ahead, shades on my eyes and safely cocooned in my good ol nissan sunny with the air con blasting. Now since i was seated on the lorry facing the back, everything was moving in reverse, the elements belting on me, and the the only air i breathe in was exhaust from malaysian lorries and their bas kilangs, all these, on the same stretch of road i mus have used a few dozen times.

But everything was so new, there were times i didn't even know where we were, it was so new i was giving myself this silly grin i give when i see something really new and cool. Everything was very, very beautiful i must say.

Food for thought, surely, we must have all experienced this, one way or another. We fail to stand back, look at our daily routines from a different perspective and enjoy that brand new breath of life into our boring and grey routines. We rant at our lives, we rant at how boring, how monotonous it is, so much so, we crave escape, but yet all we ever needed was probably perspective.

=) read and think.

Alvin's 4th FO camp

2006-04-09T22:55:00.000+08:00

First day;

Arrived in school in the morning, instead of meeting them the previous night. nothing significant lah, on my side at least because i did not really participate in the front end activities. Heard the station games weren't bad, it would have been a blast if it wasnt for the bloody rain.

Fast foward to the night, was assigned to be the real sadako, pictures would be updated soon. camped in the stupid guy's toilet for 4 hours and nearly ended up suffocated. Stupid toilet got no ventilation at all and the lightstick juice we poured into the toilet bowl wasn't really ambi pur. brrr...

Scare results was average lah, got whacked a few times, but hey! part and parcel of nightwalk lah uh..

When the last few pairs were released, i decided i had enough of that darn toilet, so i ventured into the scare station before me. managed to scare those in 4s and like what Jin would say "make them scream like bitches" now who misses my trademark "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGHHHHHH" ?

Second day;

Nothing much, didn't sleep in the morning so i could wake the others up. went home at noon for my cousin's dinner. drove parents home and took the car for the weekend and drove back to school for LP, MIT's version of Battle Royale

Third day;

Amazing race, went around places with jun hao to take pictures. got lemon juice and saliva all over my arms. slacked outside wheelock ogle at girls with super duper mini skirts, took more photos then took bus back to school. nothing much. Slept before they even started the disco night.

Old man

2006-03-23T21:26:00.000+08:00

tsk, im feeling old already, however amazing, seeing those juniors being self sufficient, and seeing them bring in newblood, this just makes me feel old.

bah! or maybe i feel old cus im still fuckin losing hair.

look, arent we a little bit too old for this?

2006-03-19T00:35:00.000+08:00

Whats with that "pangseh" mentality we have nowadays, simple words of apology don't seem to drill into those individuals who like to label people with that. They just like to lament on and on until the cows come home about how u "pangseh-ed" them during some KTV or BBQ eons ago. I understand the frustration when someone just plainly put you up on a date, which in that case, they should be ashamed of themselves and you've got all the right to blabber about this to your grandkids next time.

And this, brings us to the innocent party in this scenario.

Let me cite and example, boy A asked boy B whether he would like to catch the movies this weekend, boy A mentions that he cannot commit due to other more important participations, he doesn't give B an agreement, but instead, cites his reasons and decides not to give B a committed answer.

Come the day before the movies, boy A realises he is occupied the entire of the next day, so he is polite enough to call up B, apologise and excuse himself from the meetup the next day. B is infuriated and demands why A can't come, A is patient enough to explain to B again, B then proceeds to use lines similar to this: "aiya! not important 1 lah don't go".

Lad, who are you to judge what is important and what is not for others? and worst of all, A gets labelled as the "pangseh" of the clique. All future conversation amongst the clique would always hover around the..."that day hor, nabei you damn bastard loh. pangseh us for movie, then end up me and ah huay watch onli"...topic.

look, aren't we a little bit too old for this? it isnt hard to understand, and its even simpler to manage your crowd better, if your event has low turnouts, chances are the problem lies with you, it is never your friends. fix yourself before you try to fix others by prioritising for them, for all i care, someone would consider helping to wash the toilet bowl more important then your movies, show respect, and earn them. =)

another long and naggy post from alvin the old man. =P

hic wala wala hic and waicheng's 20th

2006-03-09T00:07:00.000+08:00

met up with her and AK at NYDC holland V, had a nice dinner and headed over to wala wala for drinks.

this was what we had;

starting from left to right
Jim beam bourbon double shot neat for me. foo love that sensation when u down it.
Waicheng the birthday girl's 1st ever vodka (i think) vodka lime.
AK's whore-garden german beer, which was served in a flowerpot sized cup, yes is that big, 50+cl.

the best thing was, we didn't realise wala wala had this buy 1 get 1 free promo, so since my jim beam was a double, i didn't get a 2nd. the others got them. and AK couldnt down another flowerpot full of beer, so it was me. wahaha!

Sent the birthday girl home, talked quite a fair bit, and realised the last time i sent her home was about a year ago already, time sure flies huh... =)

Happy birthday waicheng! whatever ur wish was, i wish it'd come true. =)

19 year old P plater gets lost, mounts curb and scratches his rims.

2006-03-05T22:14:00.000+08:00

i swear to myself i would NEVER EVER do another illegal U turn, =( im so sorry Mr Sunny.

Was heading to SPGG to pick up missus from her prom, some lorry was blocking the entrance, so i decided to go until the singtel block there and turn back. happens so that there was a notch for cars to turn into, so lazy me just bloody U turned the place, *poom~ braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak*
alloy meets concrete, concrete wins. =(

Went driving around aimlessly the 1st time after i got my license, drove to orchard via holland V, then dhoby ghaut, and proceeding to get really lost at beach road and bugis. wahaha it was fun, but i think i was paying too much attention to the traffic lah, she was deperately trying to entertain me to no avail. sorry pretty!

drove to my place to da bao supper, went to sembawang beach to enjoy the breeze... man... its so nice to own a car, and yet jessica had to rub salt onto open wounds, telling me she drove a S13 at oz, and she's planning to get her own car at 5 thousand bucks.

man, can i have something like singapore's homely feeling, singapore's safety, oz car prices and oz babes, all added together?

ooo end of poly life loh~

2006-03-01T20:58:00.000+08:00

or so i hope, please god, let me pass my ACAN. 3 years eh? kinda fast isnt it? thought my seniors were kidding me when they told me time flies in poly, heck, now im the old geezer telling my own juniors the exact same thing

in poly, we live from deadlines to deadlines, and holidays to holidays. and thank goodness for the club and my fun mates, else it would be another 3 years in hell not unlike my secondary school life. funny shit..

future, what about? thats what most of us probably are thinking at this very moment isnt it? most of the media-savvy girls probably have a much easier life deciding what to do after this, Guys, even easier, become minimal wage slaves for the men in whites. what ab0ut after all these? media? i guess only 40% of us are really going to consider finding a career in multimedia, the rest? not too sure, but i guess probably automotive enginneering for me. flows in the blood no?

but then again, its only in melbourne u, that means a full 2 years away from home at oz, and another anywhere else in the world for internship. *sigh*, fine, its 3 years, its definitely worthy, but then again what prospects are there locally, i mean there isnt professional racing teams around, let alone a racing arm for a car manufacturer. so that means little alvin's gotta LIVE somewhere else for the rest of his life.

and don't start that "hey u can be a mechanic", if i wanted to be a mechanic, i would have taken the course locally.

ah well.. *ponders*

automatic gearbox, hate them, love them, but mostly the former.

2006-02-20T23:30:00.000+08:00

Auto gearboxes on cars, probably the next most important object in a car to the engine, something most drivers cannot do without. well if it was half decent i would probably had jumped on that bandwagon too, but no, they just have to be the suckiest pile of bat shit, ever. now, most of you folks out there are probably lamenting about the convenience, but thats where it ends, convenience, and quite minimal unless you you happen to have the right hand side of your body paralysed.

What auto gearboxes provide, is simply overunned by bugs and INCONVENIENCE in that matter, whats a car when theres no control i ask? honest though, not coming from the racing car buff side of me, just another road user. i really suspect auto gearboxes to have only 3 modes, GO - GO SIBEI FAST - STOP SIBEI SLOW, moving off from a traffic light for instance, ok u see the car in front crawl off, u blip the accelerator, FOOM! off it goes like a darn rocket. and u have to brake the hair out of your neck to prevent rear-ending that chap in front.

before u go into lack of skills, let me continue.

Ok so fine, same scenario, cars in front moves off at a crawl, u decide not to gas it, instead you just let go of ur brakes and let the car inch foward, wow everything is smooth and gentle! credits to auto boxes? fuck no.

the fella in front drives a manual, he picks up speed like a car should do and speeds off while your auto is still stuck at 1.5k rpm and moving at 20kmph though you've got the pedal to the metal. whats this? turbo lag? piff....

there are so 101 things i can rant about an auto box, but heck, till i get my own car WHICH WOULD BE MANUAL. im stuck. do not agitate the angry young man in his AUTO nissan sunny which has got its P plate mounted wrongly.

grr.

JB roads and the 1 week old driver

2006-02-07T09:36:00.000+08:00

Drove to JB last night with my parents cus dad wanted to sign some contract over there, so i asked whether could i drive in. though mum was a bit doubtful, dad was pretty sure it'd be good experience. so JB! watch out for the noob driver!

Drove ah hao to school in the morning, got very very lost cause i missed a left turn to clementi road. argH! so paisei lah.

back to JB, wasnt any jam on the way there, so it was pretty much all fun and no frills, there was some construction going on on the JB side though, so all the cars were packed into 3 lanes, what is th engineer smoking man, the traffic volume is madness and all we get is 3, i mean 2.5 lanes.

Anyway, whilst on the JB chop passport booth (i dunno whats it called) i hereby declare all malaysians have 2metre long arms. the hole where u poke the passport in was so high up i had to lean out of the window, stretch my lazy bum halfway out the window with one leg already sticking out before i could reach the mak cik in the CPB (chop passport booth). ok la exaggerating lah, but you get the picture la hor? reminds me, better check see Felix got 2m long arms or not.

Jb roads are like the best in singapore, batam. and.. erm.. jb... ya! who bloody needs igallop when you've got the nissan sunny iBounce-a-lot. NABEI! the whole bloody place is full of potholes and bumps. even on the bloody expressway. picture this.

Alvin: wah, nice sia this place (looking at the seafood centre along the coast)
Parents: ya loh hor, so nice liao....
*car hits a gigantic pothole at 90kmph*
Both: AIYO GUN NI NABOO CHOW YUN FATT!!

In malaysia, traffic light in green means Go, amber means LAGI CHIONG! and red means horn the singaporean car in front, overtake and beat the redlight. *applause*

The return trip was baaaad. really baad. but while pumping petrol there, theres this uncle driving a E240 merc, singapore registered one, he mounted the petrol pump platform and buang into the dustbin on top, scaring the shit out of the attendant. good thing he din buang into the pump itself, secally explode then you see alvin become sidik alrd. Can see the whole front right rim all garbled up already. i say orbigut! bleah!

so, thats roughly it la, here i am again in my office, 2nd time driving to school, never got lost hor. hahaha! some more i made a stopover at cindy's place to pass her back the hammy. thank you so much for allowing me to spend time with that adorable creature. and oh ya, he loves pears, cannot have skin cus he'd spit it out.

till nxt time! CIAOZ!

ke ke the hamster

2006-02-02T23:18:00.000+08:00

he's like the most intelligent and cutest thing i've ever seen, the first day i brought him to my place, he pooped on his nest, this little porcelain bowl with a hankie in in, so i chased him out of the bowl and cleaned the poop which i thought he would appreciate.

but noo~ he doesnt, i swear he gave me that "tsk, wtf" look after i was done with his bed, he refused to sleep on the bed as if i tainted them like that, "you vermin you, how dare you rest your filthy hands on my bed" he must be thinking.

alas, lo and behold, the next morning i woke up to find the hankie pulled all the way to the other side of the cage, and him happily snoring away in the bundle. tsk, does he ever stops being cute. no wonder he's getting fed like a king by aunty chong.

And he's a very very sound sleeper too, i was taking a nap just now, and my mum came running into my room claiming that he's dead, scared the shit out of me, i went over to the cage and surely, i found him lying motionless in the corner of the cage, i shook the cage but he didn't budge, so i panicked, i opened the cage door and probed him gently, and he woke up, and quite confused by me i might add, he was startled, jumped a little and then lost his balance and tipped over. silly little creature! i was on the verge of tears already man. stop scaring me like this!

but all is well, i am keeping him on a 1/5 of a bread per day diet, with fruits somemore ok? i think he likes pears. hahaha!

the long overdue post, and a happy lunar new year

2006-01-30T22:55:00.000+08:00

Hey, sorry folks for the lack of updates, i've been very sick for this whole period, so much so that my colleagues thought i was down with dengue. Haha! nontheless, im very well now, minus the flu and the drowsiness caused by the drug. Alas, i haven't been this sick for quite awhile have i? Not that i miss it or what, it was so agonising i wish i was dead loh.

Nontheless, in case you folks haven't heard, im already a full-flegded driver *HURRAY!!* got my license on the 26th of janurary. But nontheless, i didn't really felt as elated as i thought i would lah, when the tester told me "congrats, you passed your test" i was like... er... ok loh.. thanks. Haha! don't sound like me does it? perhaps caused i was too sick to be bothered lah.

I took the test while running a rather high fever, was so pale the instructor thought i was seriously ill when i asked for a short water break. but ok la uh, given the prior lesson, managed to identify some of my deadliest mistakes and avoid them on the test itself.

so.. PASSED! 14 Points on 2x abrupt lane change, 1x failure to check mirror and a few points here and there. hehe.

And incidently, today is my first time really driving, drove to cindy's place to pick up our guest for the week, Xiao ke the hammy~! got lost at the carpark though.. meh~ then drove to bedok, then bedok and back home. foo wee, driving isnt exactly relaxing leh i realised. =
Bon voyage Cindy, Jessica, Uncle peter and aunty Chong! Jessica you would be dearly missed by your peers and most importantly, me. so stay in contact aye? and while you're there, intro me some cute angmoh chicks yo? =D~

Went to catch a movie with Hao and SP yesterday, I not stupid 2, 5 out of 5, please go watch.

Oh and another great news before i forgot! Stedtson is officially a daddy of Clavius-something Koh, healthy boy who looks like stedt's dad. haha 3.25kg, not bad wor. congratulations stedt! can't wait till tml when we can see him, hiak hiak hiak.

alright thats all, kkthxbyecyattyl

haircut and shopping!

2006-01-18T14:03:00.000+08:00

Was out with the usual gang. Amy, Hao and his darling Sp, made reservations for 4 at chapter 2 the day before, apparently the lady who answered the phone is not english speaking. Extracts from our conversation:

Alvin: "Hi! Good evening, i would like to make a reservation for 4 on the 17th at 7pm"
Aunty: "Har?"
Alvin: "errr.. i would like to make a reservation for 4 at 7pm tml"
Aunty "har? ke yi jiang hua yu ma?"

alamak. who would have thought? i assumed that Chapter 2 was some high class ang moh speaking salon. nvm, chinese speaking better, more qin qie ya know?

Alright, on to the haircut, sheez it was one of the longest i ever had man, waited like half an hour before the stylist attended to me. This reall quiet chap. possibly malaysian. that guy took like an hour to cut my hair, longer then it had taken for others definitely. But boy, am i satisfied with my hairstyle now, the stylist sort of can tell im having hair loss, so he suggested me to stop using wax and start using clay, and start styling them on the ends on the hair only, not from the roots. =D, professionals sia.. grabbed a can of gatsby clay at watsons after the haircut. looking for other healthier choices now. hoho! gd bye hair loss!

Went shopping at BV with the gang later on, the new 2nd level is so sexist, all female apparels and accessories. tsk, what's this? part of the plot to eradicate guy shoppers? Walked around on the lower level with hao, all the tops seem so yucky, nothing eye catching at all. ended up with a new sling bag.

Had dinner at BK, went home zz

=D

Generic updates

2006-01-15T13:41:00.000+08:00

Dang... just woke up only no thanks to Mr Zacf. Was out with Amy, Hao and my younger sister SP at town. Was slated to meet up at 4.30pm but alas, being a MIT senior that i am, i need to proof to the kids the importance of being late. Im so sorry amy, blame that Porsche Carrera who kissed the bus stop.

We walked.... i mean... we squeezed our way to bugis village wanting to get our haircut, i just don bloody get singaporeans. Does prodding alvin with your paper bag makes the crowd in front walk faster? apparently not.

DANG! chapter 2 was fully booked. DANG! ok fine, i recommended them di`summer, the place i get my haircut since.. er... like almost 2 yrs back? ok fine, made our way to somerset as suggested by hao so we can shop whilst we make our way to FEP. cool weather i must say, wish everyday's weather was like that. Shopped at Heeren for hao's board shorts, nothing of interest there except showing SP some $220 bikinis and discovering some new male underwear that props up your member, both at newurbanmale.

Headed to FEP, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG! it was CLOSED. WTF WTF WTF?! are all the people in singapore cutting their hair or what? so there you go, 3 hours of mind-numbling squeezing and prodding and no haircut. but wait, thats barely the best part yet.

So being the sulking teenagers we are, we.. i mean ah hao.. decided to shop while starving the older bunch of the group. heck, he got his boardshorts at 89. i saw the top im going to get for CNY. so i guess its fair lah.

Headed to Fish n Co at wheelock's. DANG x2 45 minutes waiting time. Amy and I cant take it anymore already, so we walked to Shaw's Mac to grab something to eat 1st while the couple queue at fish n co. Anyways, i know i look fierce when i don't smile. i was asking the waitress how long's the waiting time and she said 30minutes, and i was like.. er... ok... then she started explaining why we have to wait and apologising profusely. OI! chill out! im understand! piff...

So finally we got our seats, The kids ordered Fish n Chips and Grilled salmon while uncle alvin settled on platter for one. SP's salmon looked a tad bit like lao sai. muahaha! finally, cocked a little and headed to zacf's pub at tanglin and that bugger got us a jug of tiger. and he kept on refiling my cup! die liao loh, everyone's gonna say im jiu gui uncle again liao. no thanks to you zacf! =D

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabei!

Amy's sweet 18 and Terence's sweeter 20

2006-01-10T22:40:00.000+08:00

Phew, finally managed to get my lazy ass off my bed to type all these out, was a rather interesting week for me i would say, most of it was spent planning out amy's birthday suprise and we went shopping for her present on friday. So Zacf, Hao, Shu ping, Wan Ting and I shopped around FEP for some really sexy Nightgown for her. Here's the part, why do you aunties and xmm have to stare at poor alvin who said "excuse me" in a lingerie shop? look, its perfectly ok for a guy to enter a lingerie shop ok? as long as he isnt smelling the items and giving that "u must be kidding" look when u pick up a bra too big your size.

Lucky zacf, piff~

Came friday, I was seriously ill so i sorta declared my own MC to skip work. Perks of working under no cheng-hu i guess. Met up with ah hao to make our way to Pasir ris, and to our dismay, the MIT folks are on time for once and we both are the goondus who were late. sorry girs/guys/mummy. Hao and I went to get the drinks at loyang point while the others made their way to suprise amy at their chalet.

Found our way to the chalet after almost dropping the carton of coke on my feet a few times, i wonder what's NTUC smoking, why the heck would you put so slippery tiles on your outdoor walkway, u heng alvin is still young (*cough*) and agile (*wheez*) so he didn't fall down.

The chalet was on the 2nd floor and much bigger then your typical hotel room, well so far so good, there's even a xbox for pete's sake! whats this? xbox here, xbox there. heck, the next time i go there it might be called XBOX holiday chalet instead. Talk about world domination..

Attendance was neat, there were a few friends of amy and... yeah a few looked cute. muahaha! Had a potluck outside the chalet, and those buggers complained that my house don have soy sauce cus my bee hoon was too bland. NB! this is called healthy living ok? u unappreciative bastards!

ok im gettins a tad bit groggy alr, will continue tml at work. =D

the hippopotamuses

2006-01-02T14:07:00.000+08:00

Excerpt of last nite's conversation with shuping, zacf, amy and i

before this we were laughin at why people are asking the reason why we're all hippopotamuses. there were a few that even asked whether Hippopotamus was a new club. eventually, i decided to pull a really lame prank on amy..

Alvin: hey amy, i heard cow's just opened and their ladies night are quite awesome
Amy: wah stop tempting me lah (i thought she was playing along)
Alvin: you should try their house special
Amy: where is it ah?
Alvin: please tell me you are kidding
Amy: ???
The others: LOL

come to think of it, Cow's actually quite a cute name for a club eh. hahaha!

Happy 2k6!

2006-01-01T19:11:00.000+08:00

Bidding you a _|_ farewell 2k5, u've been a great bitch and all, but move over, the new chick's on the block's here to stay! hola 2k6!

Countdown with the MIT folks at esplanade, apparently they closed down the whole bridge for peds, pretty good move by the cops i say, its so much better then the previous years when the whole esplanade became like MOS at its opening.

Met that cb zacf along the way to lau pa sat, got engaged in a foam spray/ bannana hooting war along the road. stupid kids!

Was walking across fullerton's carpark when i saw this BMW M5, NO FUCKIN SHIT! a true blue M5! woo, couldnt resist but to give the driver a thumbs up. he reciprocated too, haha! what a ride man...

but then again we walked faster then he can drive. thats nye traffic to u. lol

Had supper, talked a little, had booze in the market like old uncles, nooblars got drunk and things got sour.. kids..

headed to boat quay, those buggers were too young to go anywhere, ended up getting booze at 7-11 and camped in the undergrd passage and wasted our youths away. got stuck in the tunnel in the rain with SPSU ppl, of all 3million ppl out there. hahaha. headed for breakfast at mac and went home. reached home around 8.30am and i woke up only now. =\ i smell like beer,foam and tobacco.

New yr resolution v1.1

Ciggies Bad, Alvin good, Alvin no do ciggarettes

part 2

2005-12-31T13:47:00.000+08:00

Nonsensical as it is, i must admit it was a really intense relationship i had, pity though, i seldom have contact with the girl in question these days. from what i can see, we both changed alot post breakup from what i can see from her blog entries, me.. well, changed quite a bit too, most imptly from a anti-clubbing geek to a newbie party animal that i am now. haha.

well going back to club, being logi actually was easier then ppl thought it was, your daily chores includes:

Shouting at ppl
Vacuum floor
Scream at more ppl

you get the idea lah.

the bombshell kinda came in a form of FO, i was "chosen" to be the EC for the FO camp cus the chap who was supposed to lead it flopped big time. or maybe cus he's scratching too much, i dunno lah. either. so then me and the rest of the remaining main comm figured out this Logi/Proj/Welfare camp comm thingy, seriously when the idea popped out, i was full of doubts cus i saw way too much loopholes in that idea. and the biggest disadvantage is the sheer amount of time needed to plan the camp. i.e. more ppl harder to plan stuff.

but well, not only did the camp pulled of really good imo, minus some personal mishaps and breakdowns, the 3 camp comm template was taken up and further improved by the current main comm. and i would really love to say that its more a overhaul of the whole system, i can see so much more involvment within the comm members. kudos to u guys man.

im proud to say that this current main comm can easily own ours 3 times round. hey im sure u guys got some minor conflicts amongst one another and shit like that, but u guys held on together, and thats a major feat to pull ok? on average, ur senior main comms loses 2 ppl every year, and i mean they go MIA and never seen again. but, u guys held on. so dudes/ dudettes, be proud. you as the last ICT comm are probably one of the best we've seen. *touching sobs*

the thing "clubbing" made me was definitely being more cool headed when handling issues big or small, i seldom overreact nowadays nor would i really lose my cool as often as before. i'd miss the club, and i would really love to be the next daniel. (Read: NOT SIDIK) if my juniors accept me or if i have spare time on my hands in the future.

future, speaking of which, here're my short term plans in a nutshell:

1) Engineering or Aerodynamics studies. hopefully a deg
2) Get into some higher paying rank in NS, hopefully go thru sispec so i can pay for my own car.
3) as above, my own car. eyeing a S13 right now. 23k.
4) learn how to cook more oriental fares.
5) move on u bloody coward
6) less cursing and swearing
7) convert my buds to clubbing mad ppl
8) and lastly, get into a fufilling r/s.

19 years of my life, part 1(because im lazy. haha)

2005-12-28T23:36:00.000+08:00

got the idea from someone's blog. shalln't say who. someone impt. so here goes. i was born thru caesarian(sp) at Mt. Avernia hospital, to my mum and dad, who were rather old at that time, in case you guys didn't know, i have 4 other siblings and they are all above 35 now, thats cus they were my step mum's kid, my dad married my mum after my stepmum passed away. so im sorta like the only child. Funny thing mum told me, while she was in labour, my dad was away playing badminton. hahaha! goes to show that he's actually a veteran when it comes to childbirth eh.. And something else perhaps you guys would like to know, the ultrasound said i was a girl all along my mum's pregnancy. so essentially all my early infant clothes were all pink and lacy. hahaha.

Funny date it was though, the day i was born. december 24th 1986, my 3rd elder brother's on 25th december 1970. kudos for the timing mum.

Fast fwrd a few years, got into a really bad accident at my cousin's place when i was... 5 i think.. was playing hide and seek with my cousins so i hid behind the door, or something like that lah i cant recall. then my brother came home i think, and he sorta slammed the door open, the bolt on the door went straight into my face. it was a 12 stitch gash on my forehead, that harry potterish scar u guys see now.

the rest of the memories, well.. were pretty much about travelling.. to thailand... indonesia.. and etc, perks of being in a family that loves travelling i guess. haha. my fondest and earliest memory's probably from bali, which we went to for $0, yes. free, cus one of my brother won a free vacation and he couldnt go. That place was simply breathtaking, in the eyes of a 6 yr old of course, everything seemed so new and interesting, i remembered visiting some volcanoe.. just.. breathtaking. even 13 yrs later.

Fast fwrd again to my primary school life, it was definitely one of the more interesting chapter of my life, got enrolled into chongfu primary, some good school in the north. and like most 1986ers, im a kindergarten dropout, cus most of us i presume went to PY, the shitty pre primary scheme which they scrapped after my batch. nothing interesting la until primary 3, when i met my lifelong friend terence and marcus. things sorta went bad after knowing them, maths correction unfilled.. chinese spelling... bla bla. got all sorts of punishment, but i was glad there was a reason for me to look back at that period of time and laugh it off with my friends of 11years the same old maths correction buddy.. terence and marcus. before i knew it, we've graduated for the 1st time in our lives. we sorta went seperate ways, them. to woodland secondary, and me. to ahmad ibrahim.

Secondary school life was... disasterous if i might put it. simply way too much trying to prove myself to the masses, too much external influences and simply, too much slacking off. flunked my secondary school like mad and not until the last few months in sec 4 did i bucked up and managed to scrape a r4 13 and r5 20.

came sec 2 and sorta the milestone of my life, had a really nice vacation at jianhong, another primary classmate,'s uncle's company mansion. sentosa. perfect view it had, overlooking siloso beach, spacious as it can be, and as many tvs as harvey norman. things was sort of down for the 1st day cus... aiya all hormonal charged teenage boys trapped in a place where the adults was playing mahjong 24/7 . then came day 2, when i met cindy and jessica for the 1st time of my life, i still remember me mistaking cindy for my primary school belle. i was sleeping facing the door, she opened the room door abit and looked in. my pals all went silent. she closed the door. alvin ran to the toilet and tidied up his hair. frens laughed.. and this was the most... and i say again. most.. memorable event thus far in this short 19 years. things were sorta cold the 1st few hours until the ice broke and we made ourselves some new friends. jessica was the one constantly chatting on the phone and seldom joining us in our games. cindy was the tomboyish but really cute looking girl who really mixed with us . and.. we had great fun. really.. and there are so much details i would love to write but im... lazy to. haha, so look for me if u want a complete walkthrough.

sadly though, a visit to the house a year back confirmed that its already been demolished. but like i said then. to her, its the memories inside the heart that matters.

after that, things sorta went back to normal. school as usual. and at that period of time was my 1st REAL girlfriend, stephanie, she was... well.. haha admitedly. not my type lah. she's the sort that's really studious while im the typical slacker, she seldom talks while my mouth's like a machinegun blabbering off at any chance i see. we were together for.. 2years if i remember correctly before dear old alvin suffered his very 1st heartbreak. but alas, he was glad he never did lose heart because then came another intersting chapter of his life.

polytechnic, choose my course blindly, simply because i didn't expect myself to score that well, supposed to go into cindy's current course. DMMC, but after corresponding with terence, i decided to go for SP's DMMT. so here i am. never would i expect a simple camp would utterly change my destiny for the next 3 years and possibly, the rest of my life. it was the ICT's FO camp, 3days no nights, no thanks to SARS, made a bunch of new friends, and... the blabbermouth alvin found home, what was categorised as attention-seeking nonsense sort of became "enthusiasm" is the camp. i told my frens how poly life was the turning point of my life, but the truth is, probably it was the club and her that made most of the change.

so i was categorised under the enthu spider group and ultimately nominated as Logistics secretary in the main comm during my second year during that period of time, i was caught in a relationship, shallnt elaborate on it, it was a really deep one, so deep, im still down there even though that nonsense ended almost a year ago.

ok la end of part 1. knn hand pain liao.

A merry xmas and a happy birthday to alvin. =D

The results of your analysis say:

You like to be surrounded by four solid walls.
Whats wrong with being homely? =\

You are a person who thinks before acting, intelligent and thorough.
Heah rite

You are affectionate, passionate, expressive, and future-oriented.
Fine, im one emotional man-bitch. shoot me. that future-oriented thingy's sorta true too

You are not very reserved, impatient, self-confident and fond of action.
What shitty english are these? Im definitely not reserved, im impatient, could be self-confident and yes! utterly. miserably fond of action

You enjoy life in your own way and do not depend on the opinions of others.
Nope i do. ha, insecure man-whore i am.

Retro

2005-12-21T09:13:00.000+08:00

Die man, im going retro-mad now, don't know why i simply dig that warhol-esque design on the front page, din't know what inspired me also, just figured out that something like that would be nice. and wala.. haha. Its not just the retro 60s design i like, its the whole culture, its like chocolate and the 80's are more like shit. just for reference sake, i would attach 2 pictures at the end of this entry. you be the judge ok?

im going all so retro-mad i've ask mummy to dig out all her 60's stuff, too bad no digicam available at home, else would have taken them. she showed me her pictures too, way back in 1966 i think, when she was 22, goodness! mum was like one of those babes u see in austin powers ok? those thick hairband, those big and colorful earrings.. psychedelic patterned dress. heck! my mum sure had good fashion sense way back in he 60s, and the most amazing thing was she MADE all those clothes and accessories herself, like that hairband, it was essentially some stretchable cloth and she cut and dyed them. amazing what women of the yesteryears can do huh.. dig on that modern women! hahahaha!

ahhh! i so want to live in that era.. By the way, this reminds me. Better go dig out dad's photo albums, he might even be a hippy for all i know. ha! alright, here goes the pic. u be the judge ok? 60s vs 80s

80s. in case u didn't know, this was Flock of Seagulls, they ARE the 80s

60s, realise how some fashion from then is still the IN thing now.

So, send in your suggestions for the color schemes and i'd look into it alrite?

i think this is the 1st retro themed design i have for my blog. results are better then i thought it would be. in actual fact, i have another 2 new blogskins ready and was about to upload one of them when i decided to go for a brand new design. i see the blog.. ok lah ah... later charbo see liao.. kee siao ah!

Tagboard spammers and the Great Singpore MRT Squeeze

2005-12-06T14:45:00.000+08:00

Came across some friends' blogs these few days, their tagboard hounded by numerous defaming tags coming from anonymous personnel, some are actually polite enough to exclude profanities , whereas some are written as if they had a pineapple up their's. Hey! deja vu isnt it everyone? smells like IRC! remember? the days when u cloned yourself, joined some channel and did something real irritating? well... its back! oh seriously! get a grip of your lives u annoying motherfuckers! i mean, hey life's probably screwed up for you and all. but you don't have to be real anal about that you know?

It's very very sad to see you guys stoop to levels that low to gain attention. If you're reading this, do me, no. do us, NO fuck! do your own fucking self a favour. Get a galfren/boyfren, have sex, read a book, watch some soap opera. Vandalising tagboards doesn't make you the popular guy in the bunch, well... unless you're hanging out with a bunch of spastic man-apes, which case you should probably get hold of some sharp rusty objects and stab your reproductive organs.

Ok fine, i can forgive you for that, no problem, im buddhist, im magnanimous. I understand. =)

BUT

Why has flaming always have to be done in shitty english? WHY?! FUCK THIS! what issss fucking WRRRRROOONG WITH YOU?! u need a bitch slap or 2 to wake up? Hey! flame all u want but, for whoever u worship's sake.. spell properly. thank you sooo much.. muacks

So hey, any of these attention mother-whoring Vaginal-face pimply-butt no lifers reading this? spread the message alright? thank you so much

Great Singapore MRT Squeeze

Been joining this ritual twice a day since i began working, and i heartily encourage singaporean citizens, young and old to participate. But bear in mind that like every other competitive game out there, there are rules you need to adhere to, and since this is a nationwide competition, you would be held against the best of Jurong, Bedok and some say Sembawang. Alas, me being a rookie in this ritual, i can only give you the following recommended equipment list.

stilettos are weapon of choice, charles and keith 3inches are crowd favorite
Gigantic Billabong bag, those Xiao mei mei pink pink kind recommended, can hoot unsuspecting people trying to squeeze in
your ipod shuffle blasting Cyndi Wang's latest mandocheesepop, opponents fear the ipod earphones.
Armpits, self explainatory
Buttocks, so u can bitch slap the next guy who accidentally brushes it
your free today newspaper, the camo-cream equivalent, can hide behind when u see ah pek board the train
See-Thru magic glasses, there is no yellow line for u.
Mat standard issue $3 skim boards plastered with quiksilver logos.
Handrail adhesive buttocks, so u automatically rest ur fat and ugly ass on the next handrail u see.
Chiong Prada bags, like the XMMPP billabong bags, can hoot ppl, but this 1 more deadly, can discreetly hoot your lan pa. and u probably wouldnt know what hitted you.

Curious why? heres fucking why!

i don't get those OLs (no offense hor) ok fine i love stilettos-wearing chicks, but u don't have to be proud to hold the handrail you know? Its fun to see u tumble and fall, but it certainly isnt much fun when u wobble, and instead of grabbing onto something, tamples over alvin's feet.

Whats with those prada tote bags? you're too lazy to kiap it on ur armpit huh? nabei u know the position u hold the bag damn vulnerable to guys or not, secally u suay suay swing the bag we bye bye no more far-der day ok?

the XMMPP (xiao mei mei pink pink) billabong bags, yes i know u spent like your 1 month pocket money to buy that, you know how irritating it is when u are talking to your fren, and u giggle, and that bloogy bag keeps rubbing against alvin's you-know-what?

Blasting songs, ok im guilty of that sometimes too, but its just morally incorrect that you blast cyndi wong's song. sometime i could just wish i can go over there, slap you silly, rip out your ipod shuffle and bite it into half, whenever you blast shitty music

armpits, as above, self explainatory, lets just say the experience is traumatic

buttocks, you don't want men to brush against them in a packed train, cover them up with a bag, a file, whatever.

piff..

ictclub

2005-12-05T16:33:00.000+08:00

been crashing their FO comm meetings these few weeks, bunch of enthu spiders i must say, furthermore there are quite a number of potentials this time round. =) happy for u guys man. FO's gonna be chicken feat to you guys already. if possible though, let this spirit be around even after FO, bond urselves together. club change name liao, culture also must change ok? make mit big! hiak hiak!

niways, to the current main comm, i know that there are some issues regarding some of your seniors, rest assured that i'd look into it and let u guys know asap ya?

need for speed, aeonfucks, frens

2005-12-03T23:59:00.000+08:00

Has been playing Need for speed: Most wanted these few days, explains the lack of updates yea? haha, oh yeah its a nice game, simply dig that hardcoded HDR overbright effect. goin to tinker around with my Porsche Cayman S later on, hiak hiak.

right, went out with my classmates today, haven't seen them in a while since everyone's on attachment. As usual, most of the others are not interested in joining us, so that leaves Helmi, Jiaxin and Esther, supposed to watch the 5 o'clock aeonflux and meet them at 4pm, yours truly over here overslept and woke up only at 3.30 as usual, so they sorta changed the timing to the later 7.15 slot, but front row ticks. bah. sorry guys.

had a long overdue decent dinner at swenson's, wasnt anythign to scream about la, curry baked rice and 3/4 of a topless 5.. or 4.. or whatever.

hoo boy the movie simply SUCK! ok the twist doesnt suck like the rest of the movie, but yeah, on the whole, save the money dudes and dudettes, buy a pack of condoms or something, its much more worthwhile. heck, im resisting the urge to type out the story but that would be ruining the experience for you nutcases out there who's gonna watch them no? im such a good samaritan. ha ha!

Met up with terence, marcus and jyai shin for beer at cwp, meh... tried to open marcus's bottle and ended breaking the bottle's neck. tsk. time to buy a can opener key chain like last time. haha

Genting

2005-11-28T09:48:00.000+08:00

was at genting for a weekend getaway with my folks, nothing spectacular but nontheless refreshing no thanks to having cooped up in busy singapore for the past few years. Met up with my uncle and brother at golden mile, suprisingly, saw ron working in the same agency my uncle booked the tour from, had a short chat with him before he strode off to work, apparently he's working 7 day weeks, alternate weekends off, and 9-10 schedules, madeness eh? and here i am slacking off in my office typing this entry. but then again, he gets paid 800 bucks a month and i get half of that, so no complains mr ron. hahaha

The coach we took was a rather huge 2 storey affair, equipped with popup dvd players. the driver was awesome too, overtaking like no one's buisness even on the genting slopes. simply godly.. ran a search on the net for the coach's performance figures. and hey! it beats a modena by 120hp and has more then twice the torque. *slurp* reached the summit in the wee hours of the morning, 5am to be exact. wasnt as cold as i remembered it was, and in my opinion, definitely wouldnt have warrant the use of my sweater. my family, on the other hand, was cuddled together and shivering. pah! equitorial folks!. had to wait till 5am before we could get the queue number. and subsequently, 9am before we can officially book into rooms at First world hotel. the lobi (yes thats in bahasa) was victorian, quite nicely done i might add, the exterior... on the other hand.. looks as if they had someone sucking random colored paints and sneezing from the top of the building. its even more colorful then the SP study benches, whatever happened to design values?! ok that aside, the room was ok, nothing fancy to write home about.

got our theme park tickets at 8am, buahaha, behold the child inside me. ran around the indoor park like a small kid which i am, playing this and that. the bumper car sucks, but playing it with my neices was much more fun. the indoor roller coaster sucked too, dun understand why the other ppl was screaming. headed for lunch and lounged around the shopping malls. levis 512.. hmm.. 219rm... ok talk abt that later. =D~

went to the outdoor park, and boy was i disappointed, that darn place hadn't changed since my last visit, which was erm... at least 5 years ago when i was in lower sec. the only new addition i see was the superman roller coaster, wasnt that bad for $5. the other roller coasters were ok-ok, but like before, its the feeling u get when u see ur neices scream and laugh. haha i might be beginning to like kids afterall. sadly din get to try the more hardcore rides. but yeah, will have chance 1 lah. headed for some sucky dinner at hainan whatever rice shop, simply a disgrace to all hainanese, DO NOT EAT THERE! period!

so.. went to the levis shop, grabbed meself a 512, heh, my 1st levis, wearing it now as im typing here. rather comfly, feels like a good condom, tight but not ball crushing, soft but secure. ok sorry, bad analogy. but u get the general idea la uh? its awesome! and it costs like 100bucks SGD woot! headed to FOS after that but it was closed, decided to return the next morning before we leave. that ought to conclude day 1.

day 2 was less spectacular since everyone especially the kids are shacked out from the day before. had a dabao-ed breakfast courtesy of my cousins, mary brown, some fast food place we nv see in sg. but yeah tasted alright if u ignore the omlette which was 30% egg shells. headed to FOS to shop, disappointing collection they had, ended up with a long sleeve white shirt for $10 sgd, and a polo tee for 20.

The return trip wasnt that fast, that bloke drove us to KL for whatever reasons i would love to know... ended up caught in a jam and he had to cut thru the city to access the highway. then according to my dad one of the tyre bursted, dunno dun care, so many tyres, burst loh, wun die 1 lah. got stuck at yong peng again while the driver repaired the tyre and subseqeuntly, at Tuas checkpoint. rawr, only reached home at 1.30am.

had a recurring dream at genting, abt her again.. tsk tsk tsk.. whatever... anyways the words from my main page and the previous post is chinese using unicode, u gotta enable it to read ok? it is certainly not some tamil language.

ciaoz~

好想好好爱你 - 周蕙

2005-11-23T13:41:00.000+08:00

曲名：好想好好爱你 歌手：周蕙

我口袋里还有你给的温馨　我的手心还有你吻的气息
低低的云让想念的人喘不过气　而你的背影会在哪里平静
跟踪记忆我才能和你接近　除了可惜眼泪没有声音
有一些人容易动情也容易忘情　我爱过了你心永远在那里
好想好好爱你　这一句话只能藏成秘密
关上窗外的雨　反覆触碰你爱过的痕迹
好想好爱你　却没有权利再把你抱紧
从今以后如果你能快乐　就别管我想你
(想对你说 You're always be my love　我还是好想你)

Julie's Bd, Dinner with the guys.. and nice memories

2005-11-21T15:43:00.000+08:00

Thursday. Went out with julie for her birthday celebration. got her a pair of earrings which Xuan "sponsored" thx gal! headed to this jap buffet place to have dinner, the food was awesome, and its all u can eat. simply alvin paradise... =D~ ended up helping julie finish her stuff more then getting my own food. Ate artic snow crab for the 1st time in my life, realise that u gotta cut open the rather soft shell on the long spidery legs to get to the crabstick-ish meat inside, pop it in ur mouth and it melts. simply mindblowing. now i get why it costs a bomb.

headed to julie's fren, Dickson's family runned pub at beach rd, "release's" it was called, nice name to have for a pub no? release.. release.. thank god no folks farted there. drinks was on the house, jug of tiger at first, the ladies complain too bitter (wad to expect from cocktail liquor drinkers?) so we got rid of it fast, er.. got vodka orange nxt i think, nice drink, the host mixed himself one. as usual julie cannot tahan after her 1st shot. then 1 more, er din catch its name, tasted like tonic. gobbled mine and julie's up as well, then tequila pop, 2 shots for me too no thanx to Mrs Julie Ching. was playing big 2 with the guys there all along while the gals sang. nv won once loh me. kaoz. julie's fren, my AISS snr Li Lian can really sing, in fact her voice was reminiscent of Fish leung's. See?! aiss roxor joo boxor joo dumb shiatz

Headed home with the company since all of them lived in the north, but not before sending the half intoxicated Julie Ching home. reached home at 2 and bam. knock out.

Saturday. Dined with the gang of guys + wife - Kenny at late noon, they were playing overnite monopoly again! zzz! should have went with them the night before. anyways they explained to me their rule for that night was whoever who landed in water works had to finish a cup of vodka. heck, this is lame guys, let alvin sponsor u guys some cordon blieu on his birthday ok?

Ok so we dined at cartel @ ps, what can i say, nice food, nice place, nice gals. finally remembered to try their ribs for once, not fantastic i would say, but nice enough given the 20 bucks price tag. dined there till 9 i think. headed to isetan to let terence spend his 50 bucks voucher, headed to woodlands cwp for midnite movies after that, woot, harry potter, and damn was it long even though its essentially a summarised version of the book, this guy in front of use fell asleep and was happily snoring away, probably just company his gf only lah..

Headed to somewhere i havent dare to visit in while, memories.. haha. =)

PS: thx for the mail siyu.
