Another long time nv update blog liao.. Here goes:

Monday:

After a stupid day of work, went out to meet Eddy for supper, as well as collect my laptop from him. He treated me to a meal of seafood at some seafood restaurant at Geylang. Took a train back to Bedok interchange, where my dad picked me up on his new Lexus n took mi for a spin. Reached home at ard 1.30am..

Tuesday (CNY Eve):

A long day. Went for my physiotherapy in the morning, den met Eddy for Long John Silver and some shopping at Bugis and Simlim. He bought a Pentax digital camera for $365, including charger and SD card. Tink I shd be getting one also when I get the $. We went back to World of Sports to get some bday gift for his dad, and we had a hard time choosing the gift until we got one finally, pressured by the fact that Seiyu was closing at 5pm on dat day, and we were damn close to the closing time...

After seeing Eddy home, I went home to rest a while and have dinner, then rushed down to Marina Leisureplex to meet Ron, Ro, Drew n Guan for movie. We watched Constantine.. Dunno is considered horror or thriller.. Got a few scenes quite scary, as demons would suddenly jump out from behind the characters.

By the time the show was over, it was already 11.55pm. 5 more mins to Chinese New Year, and we wanted to catch the fireworks at the esplanade, so we rushed down, and managed to get there on time as the Esplanade was juz opposite the leisureplex. The fireworks were much better than those on NDP, or it could be I didn't see the NDP fireworks live. We walked ard River Angpao after that, and after Guan left, we went down to Chinatown to have a look-see. The place was so damn crowded.. We had some thai coconuts there.. It was those type wif the brown thin shell instead of the thick white shell. Ro n mi decided dat 1 wasn't really enuf, so we got another 2. Unable to resist my temptation to eat, I got a taiwanese sausage as well.

We left at around close to 3, where everyone was totally shagged out. My sis came wif my mum to pick me up, and I was like "oh crap" when my mum decided to do her shopping AT THAT TIME.. I slept in the car while my sister had it parked in some carpark, and with the aircons off, it was so damn hot n stuffy despite having one of the windows left opened. When my mum came back, it was 4.30 liao.. Quickly took a bath after reaching home n hit the bed immediately after dat, setting my hp to "Priority Calls only".

Wednesday (CNY Day 1)

Having exhausted myself totally the previous nite, I decided to stay at home to slp instead of doing house-visiting. Nobody asked me out on dat day, so I was doomed to stay at home until I finally managed to get Gabriel to meet out at nite. We met at ECP, had a walk n chat, I shopped for some instant pre-cooked eggs, n my sis came to fetch Gabriel home. After dat, my sis juz drove mi ard aimlessly, until she finally got tired n decided to head home.

Thursday (CNY Day 2)

Went to my grandma's hse for CNY gathering wif my relatives in the afternoon. They had a buffet set up there, and my mum brought some more food as well. Trying to control my diet, I tried not to stuff myself to the max. Mostly spent the time there playing Taidee n chatting wif my cousin. Later on Ron n Ro wanted to play mahjong, so I got my bro to go along. We met up at Hougang where Ron had dinner at BK while we bought drinks. Ro drove us to his place, and soon we were "swimming" our way thru the mahjong tiles. I lost $2.. grr.. After the game, my dad came to fetch us home for an early retirement to bed.

Friday (Today)

Was supposed to meet up for KTV but didn't know how to get to the place, so I went straight to Ron's hse in the morning so I could take his bike there. Meeting Ro n Guan at Paradiz centre. Guan was late, so we went to play Ghost Squad at the arcade there while waiting. After he finally arrived n finished going for his "lunch", we made our way to KBox. Lunch was provided anyway, and it wasn't too bad. Chicken chop wif baked beans n fries. We sang mostly chinese songs.. I can say I really failed badly at trying to make out the lyrics of most of the songs, which was in chinese characters, except for maybe the FIR songs. We had a great time there laughing at one another's horrible singing (especially Ro's "Gypsy nu lang").

We sang till ard 3+ where we were "invited" out of the room, n we went to walk ard at Plaza Singapura after that. Guan started to feel hungry again, n we made our way down to Suntec. Bought chicken wings, a pizza n some drinks at Carrefoure (n Guan bought Sushi for his "healthy diet"), den went up to Sky Garden to tok cok n eat our stuff. Guan had to go soon, so we saw him off to Orchard, den went Novena to visit Ron's grandma, where we talked alot along the way. Next, we went to Ron's hse for dinner, den up to Mount Faber to disturb Jayson.. wahahha

Jayson was having some function up on Mount Faber, and we expected him to bring a date, n were all dying to see what sort of gal he'd brought there. When we reached the venue, we juz stood at one side n waited for him to come out. Finally after a long while, we saw him, but without any date. However, after he went to get his car, we confronted him n he said he would be fetching LOTS of passengers in his car. We rushed back to get the bikes, with the plan of trying to "stalk" him whereby one of us would go to his front n block him, where another would tailgate him. Anywae, we saw a gal who we supposed to be Jayson's date n another few fellows getting onto the car.

Jayson got lucky when Ron n Ro had some trouble moving the bikes out from where they have been parked. He managed to drive off, n Ron was having some trouble catching up with him up on the hill due to the narrow road, but we were lucky when there was a line-up of vehicles down at the foot. Ron filtered past the other cars, n went right in front of him! wahhaha.. Jayson tried to overtake Ron, but was unsuccessful. Aniwae, we had fun chasing him till somewhere near Ron's hse, where Ron decided to leave him alone. Later on we actually found out dat Ro's bike was having trouble catching up, so he missed out on the fun.. Damn..

Our final destination for the day - ECP for coconuts, sugarcane n chitchat along the beach. It happens dat Eddy's chalet was nearby, but he was probably asleep by the time Ron n Ro wanted to leave.

Haven really updated for a few days.. Let's do some catching-up now..

Went Ron's hse on Fri nite to stay overnite, tok cok n c the bday/vday gifts he bought for his gf.. hehe..

Next morning, we woke up for breakfast which his mum bought for us, den slack ard n waited for Ro to reach his hse, cuz we were going swimming together. Took Ron's bike n went to Tampines cuz Ron wanted to collect some Bah Kua from his fren. Went to camp to fetch Andrew, den we started making our way to the west.

The journey was so damn long - from east all the way to west. Instead of going to the swimming pool directly, we dropped by IMM for lunch 1st.. We walked n walked, n subconsciously walked into Macdonald's. Tried out the chicken prosperity meal - the burger sux. I bought a new pair of optical goggles from World of Sports there before we started making our way down to Jurong East Swimming Complex.

After parking the bikes at the Jurong East Sports Complex, we somehow got quite disoriented cuz the place was so damn mazy.. With a tiny bit of help from some cleaner auntie n lots of luck, we finally managed to find our way to the swimming complex.

I bought my Osprey camping bag dat day, n was worried it might now fit into the locker. Fortunately I finally managed to squeeze the whole damn ting in, at the risk of damaging my pack. I decided to take my hp down to the pool wif mi, using my Aquapac.

The artificial waves were on the moment we reached the poolside, so we hopped in without any hesitation. Didn't really dare to go very far, cuz Ron isn't quite a gd swimmer. We went to the 'Jacuzzi' to relax after dat. Turned on MP3 on my ngage, n it was really funny listening to music underwater.. wahahha

Later on, we rented a float n began trying out the slides. The previous time I tried the slide I was actually scared inside-out.. Maybe it's cuz of all the travelling in speeding vehicles, I wasn't really dat scared dis time.

Tried the artificial river n the artificial waves a number of times, until ard 4. We headed for our bath, n everyone seemed rather shagged by then. We dropped by a petrol kiosk near Ro's house, n I took Ro's bike dis time due to my big bag. Ate some ice-cream there while Ro settled some of his bike stuff, den we headed down to Queenstown for some window-shopping.

Ron n Ro went to look at some bike shops, n they saw dis Hayabusa. They actually started the engine n tried out the sound of the start-up. So they actually had the chance to listen to the engine of their dream bike, n guess wad.. Later on I saw a BMW M3 at a traffic light junction, n we purposely skipped one traffic light turn so I could see the M3 in action. I was staring at the M3 n tried to take some pics as well, n I tink the driver knew I love the car. When the light turned green for him, I heard the sound I've always wanted to hear most in my life so far.. The engine of the M3 revved at near-full power!!! Sounds a little like WRX or Evo, but the pitch was significantly higher. Really feel so damn grateful to the driver for his M3 display.

After sending Andrew home, we went to Suntec so I could get Eddy's bday present, n to play Ghost Squad as well. After lots of looking-ard I finally got a present which I'm quite confident Eddy would like. After Ghosting at Suntec, we went to my hse to discuss abt our business plans, stocking up at 7-Eleven before that. Discussion ended at 3+, where Ron n Ro made their way home.

Yesterday afternoon, went Bugis for some shopping wif Laibao. Initial intention was to get a pair of shoes for new year n to scout for the wallet Ro wanted, but as usual, I always end up buying more than wad I nid. I ended up carrying a soccer ball, a waist-pouch, a pair of socks, a pair of goggles, a pair of Adidas shoes, Ro's wallet, n a EQ Dance Club CD home. It was quite an unlucky day, as firstly, the Wallet Shop guy forgot to take out the security tag in Ro's wallet, n I was almost labelled a thief when the alarm sounded as I was walking thru the OG exit, despite having a receipt. 2nd ting was.. The security tag was still on my shoes when I left Seiyu, and the alarm actually DIDN'T sound.. in the end I discovered it onli when I got home, n had to go all the way back to Seiyu at nite juz to remove that stupid tag..

Another sucky day at work today.. Going to meet Eddy later to discuss abt some business stuff n to take back my laptop.
