Washed up whale failed!

Fail!

A super long weekend

My long weekend sort of started last tuesday.

Maybe its just me but I think that trains and buses are getting more and more crowded.. to such an extent that it can actually piss me off while travelling.

I seriously need more entertainment in my life.

My 500th post

This week was more or less a meaningful week, compared to the previous few lousy (and crappy) weeks. Like what Stan and Kyle would say, "You know guys, I've learned something today.. [insert morals or random crap stuff]" I really learned something.. the power of brains, and the power of teamwork performing on the same stage.

It started of with retarded taskings, ie to say, pointless stuff to do. The washing of more vehicles and getting my (and possibly ang kong's) jade hands dirty. While we were complaning how long this would take because the bloody water point was so far away, the power of brains came in. Called for the keys (boy boy), opened up the nearest room through the most unconventional method because the keys were not found, somehow affix a short hose through the new found water supply, before trying to connect a long hose to the aforementioned short hose unsuccessfully (me), and we were stuck to using a small hose to fill up the cans for washing.. before poteh came along with the idea of using a cloth tape (poteh) and we found another longer hose (dragon). We then managed to fit the new hose to the old one and secured it with more cloth tape (dustbin).

So within an hour, we were done washing. The power of many brains.. and crap ideas and mac french fries.

The very next day, under CAT1 conditions, we kept the stuff we washed. Then it started pouring, but Heebe, PK Tan, Dustbin, Poteh and I never did gave up and completed the keeping. Credits to PK Tan (which Dustbin called him lup sup because he got his whole shirt wet and dirty) and later, our PK done threw a string.. over at dustbin's neck. Before that was more madness. Heebe and I were doing strength training, because we threw away unwanted stuff and our brains allowed us to throw impossible amounts of rubbish into limited spaces.

Met JS afterwards, at Billy Bombers at Clarke Quay. The Obama burger was.. probably not as well as I've expected. Sad, but still a good experience. Barely got my pay and now I'm going broke to replace all the stuff that needs replacing. Why do stuff spoil at the same time?!

This week was once again.. terrible.

Some days I just wish I could just.. drop everything I have and just chill.

What's happening to me? Some one save me.

A week to forget

There's nothing this week (starting from last friday) that is worth remembering.. kthxbai

Titleless post

I don't get it.

Maybe I am just naive enough to think that friendship will last forever.

A long meet up after a while

A few days back, I met ahhui to collect my Shiroi Koibito chocolates that came from Japan!

This time round, decided to try the dark chocolate version.

 

The dark chocolate version, and I like the dark chocolate version more! [Pictures from ahhui]

Met my bunkmates from Tekong yesteday. It's been nearly half a year since we last saw each other. Today also marks the day where we had many grand plans.. like eating buffet at Carnivore, Marriott hotel and Kushin-bo (!) the next few times we meet up.

After spinning around Orchard trying hard to scout for a wallet-friendly-price-yet-nice-to-eat-food, Mr Yin Caile decided to call his father and ask for his opinion. Thus we ended up in..

Eating Chinese food instead of the typical Japanese or Western food! Despite all that hoo-ha about the expensive prices of food everywhere, we ended up paying $40 per pax, but still, a good break from the norm.

CS, also known as our slave for the day.  The reason? Because he was sitting near where all the food is placed, so we kaopeh a little and he'll have to suck thumb and follow instructions!

Chili. This was good.. so good that CS wanted to take home some of it lol.

The soup.. underneath this soup somewhere lies Bryan's favorite wanton!

We then turned from carnivores to herbivores lol. Looks like a steamboat for vegetables. Thankfully that was cleared pretty quickly.

This is CS, demonstrating how to cook that fish paste lookalike thing after seeing the staff doing it twice. His comments was "Pfffffffff, pay 40 bucks and still must DIY!".. although no one bothered asking the staff..

We ended up spamming tons of wanton (Bryan's favorite food - I bet he had like easily 8 of them or something) and sliced beef (it's pretty imbal). Also, they serve stuff such as oysters there, so for 40 bucks it's quite a decent selection. Also, a can of coke there cost $4.. and we actually spotted someone drinking it. So Caile was like "HEY $4 COKE HAHAHA"

Ended up outside Lido.. and had some ice cream from Gelatissimo.

CS's bad shot of me.. and my Tiramisu and Chocolate Liqueur. I must say, the Chocolate Liqueur was good but the Tiramisu wasn't really what I expected.

4 happy guys and their ice cream..

Gerald says that the escalator was a good time to camwhore, so..

Gerald and I. Unfortunately the photo of CS and Joseph was lost in history!

The rest of the people.

A group photo before Bryan wanted to leave, and we all ended up leaving with him lol.

Met JS for lunch today @

 He said he thinks the food here is quite good..

North Altantic Sole Fillet was what I had. JS had the Pacific Snow Fish Fillet.

North Altantic Sole Fillet. The serving was huge. The fish was good. The tartar sauce was quite decent, but I didn't really liked the batter. 

We also got ourselves

The oysters. This was pretty decent.

Goodbye

He was a great servant

He didn't mind being kicked around

He didn't mind being thrown around either

He would always come back to us even though we took turns to kick and throw him around

He didn't feel deflated before

His presence wasn't really felt until he was gone...

He's gone.. forever...

Goodbye.















Yay new ball!

Vin's and my bday celebration @ DBG... again.

I think 215'08 (+Winnie) has this special affinity with Dhoby Ghaut. Every time we run out of ideas we'll turn to the place where we usually go. None other than the place where there is a red line and a purple line!

Pictures courtesy of..

Our initial plan was this. We planned to meet at 6pm, but we calculated most people would be late anyway. So might as well as wait for these people, at the same time queue up for some nice food. Since Astons serves pretty decent dishes and there's a pretty good queue, we went for Astons.

The plan worked.. more or less.

WeiXian and I, looking innocent. Had a ribeye xtra cut, done medium rare with onion rings and baked potatos. I still say, it's pretty decent!

 

But before that, there was a cake!

Seriously though, I have no idea how Vin and I can look at each other at the same look, giving a jiaobin to each other and still get captured by the camera!

Yet another of such photo.

Cutting the cake together. No giant lollipop (I still have it), or 2 lobsters, or a box filled with random stuff.. just an ice cream cake which looks like this...

After our very unsuccessful attempt to cut it.

Group photo. It's been a long while since we actually had a decent one taken!

 

Went back to The Cathay. As usual there were no plans to go anywhere, so we just slacked there the whole time.. either standing around looking pretty

or camwhoring..mostly camwhoring.

Noticed anything weird?

The answer!!

What a well timed shot!


The following shot is taken in Astons, I'm leaving the best for the last. I just have to upload it.. for obvious reasons!

A picture paints a thousand words!









It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how

Held on to it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't belived that I stayed till today
There's nothing left in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Don't be surprise when we hate this tomorrow
God knows we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will now be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

-No surprise by Daughtry

Madness

I've just realized that it's already more than halfway through september and I've not blogged. I think I'm getting old.

I swear I was about to go crazy for this month!

Having a BPV route march over the past 2 weeks have brought back memories from Tekong.

AND I HAVE A MAD FUCKER BEHIND ME TRYING TO PULL MY SHORTS OUT JUST NOW!!
