I know it's kinda late, but better late than never hor?

The title track from Royston Tan's 881.


Enjoy the song! :D

Little incident at a bus stop

Just the other day, when I was on my way home from work, I encountered this little incident.

I was waiting for my bus at a bus stop at Jurong East, and there is this late 20s/early 30s smartly dressed guy (obviously white collared working class) walking towards his girlfriend/wife. An old lady carrying some bags was walking in the opposite direction, and for some reason, at the exact moment their path intersect, the old lady's bag dropped. I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he did not bump into the old lady, causing the bag to drop. He took a look at the bag on the ground, and looked at the old lady and actually carried on walking towards his partner. My thought at the moment was, "What the hell?". He did not even had the intention of picking the bag up for the old lady. It was a sad moment for humanity. (okay la, a bit exaggerated la :P)

Soon after, my bus came, and apparently the guy is taking the same bus as me. And there is this old man, whom I suspect just recovered from a stroke as one side of his body seems to be semi paralysed, was trying to board the bus too. As the old man's movement is rather slow due to his disability, I would expect other people to have basic courtesy to allow the old man to board first. The same white collared a**h**e was completely oblivious to the old man and squeezed on board right in front of him. At this point, I was extremely disgusted with this guy.

So what if he is white collared class? So what if he earns a lot? So what if he dresses well? If he can't even have the basic sense to do what is right. It is really nothing much, just small things like picking up things for senior citizens or letting the disabled to board first. It's not like I'm asking you to donate a 100K for charity or what. There will be no hope for humanity if everybody behaves like this...

Morale of the post: Even if you are doing well and earning much, please have a heart and don't be too full of yourself? And if you are really too full of yourself, I really hope that you choke! Muahahahaha!

Weekend activities

Weekend is just over and the both of us suffering from a massive case of Monday blues. Sigh... So what did we do during the weekend? Let me see....

Shopped at Vivo with ah mi and her mom................ Checked.

Carried shopping bags (voluntary lah :P).................. Checked.

Patched toilet ceiling with putty................................. Checked.

Go rebonding with ah mi (she rebond, not me)....... Checked.

Meet up Henry and guys for dinner........................... Checked.

Went running on Sun morning................................... Checked.

Went to ah mi's grandma's place................................ Checked.

Burnt lots of offerings (plus sweated like a pig)...... Checked.

Had lunch there with ah mi's family.......................... Checked.

Played around with the celebrity look alike thingy.. Checked.

Went for dinner with my family.................................. Checked.

So that's basically how we spent our weekend loh. Quite uneventful, but that's us! :D


Oh yah, and i simpsonized the both of us too~ How do we look?

Forgive us for we have sinned...

Oh forgive us! For we have sinned.... After doing this... we will need to burn (our fats) in hell... Forgive us... for we have..... eaten the Skillet Cookie Sundae™ at Tony Roma's.

In short, it is one giant cookie, baked in a iron skillet, topped with vanilla ice cream and loads of chocolate fudge. I think that the price of chocolate fudge is going down as they are putting more and more fudge now.. Allow me to illustrate below

Look at the difference? Feel the sin? Feel the sugar rush? Feel the saliva dripping? All this for $9.90 + 10% service tax and 7% GST. For people who want to gain weight, this is a yummy way to do so. For people who want to lose weight... eat first, diet later lah.. Trust me, its worth the sacrifice.. after all, we did.

Ahhhh... the satisfaction of pigging out... Over and out for this bimbo entry. :P

Meet my Daemon~

Hi guys, this will be a cut and paste entry hor. Please meet my daemon, from this cool site. heeee.




Please help me see if its accurate hor. Many thanks!

Just another day

Hi all, I'm back from in camp training after being in there for a mere 1 day and a few hours. I was taken out due to the late notification of the overseas training next month. So back to a civilian life for me. Army life (or airforce for me) is quite good actually. Hours are short, and you get to see your old friends whom you chiong together with during NS days. Plus you get to be stinky without qualms, cos everybody is stinky too! :) However, I still prefer a civilian life though, for reasons unknown. Maybe I'm just not a very military person bah.



So I'm back, with just 2 days of absence from work. Can't say that the work has piled up for me, but still, the pace is a bit faster and there is a bit more work than before i left for my ICT. And there is still the looming possibility of the possible business trip that i have to make in the coming week or so, which makes me kinda sian. Okay, that's enough complaining for this entry. Let's see what did we do this weekend..



In a nutshell, we (ah mi & i) had Swensen's sticky chewy chocolate ice cream sundae (sinfully good.. thick thick fudge...), did some 7th month praying, watched "License to Wed" (will we have a movie review?) at the (not so) new Cathay cinema, recced Punggol and Sengkang, and had a fabulous home cooked dinner by our friends(Thanks, Karen & Howard). Oh, on top of that, I even attended my remedial training on Sunday morning. It's starting to get a tad bit siong now cos my body was aching for the past 2 days loh. but i have to say its a good kind of ache lah. makes you feel alive, u noe?



So that's basically it for our weekend. if you think that this is a rather boring weekend, then better think again. this is one of our more fruitful weekends loh.. no joke! wahahahaha.. we are really a couple of nua-ers here. would wish to nua more if possible. heeee :P



That's all for this entry then. Out.

Growing up

Hello... I'm back! *Grins* Going back for ICT tomorrow, so I really don't have the mood to work. Doing some sporadic work here and there nia.. So decided to come here again and rant some more.(don't tell my boss):P

Was going through some of my old entries just now, and i must say *beaming with pride* that i was so very full of crap two years ago. Heh heh.. I can't really imagine myself writing this way now.

Two years is not really a long time, but i have changed alot since. So i guess this means that a change in person is not really due to the length of time, but more of the environment that the person is exposed to. In these 2 years, i have been exposed to quite a lot of different things. Both nasty and happy things that make one grow up.. And so, i'm all grown up now, mentally, emotionally and physically (please don't think dirty, my belly's bigger, that's all :P)

Now that i think back, the problems i faced previously are really quite trivial, and sometimes not a problem at all. Good thing about growing up, is to be able to look back and laugh at yourself. To be able to laugh at yourself is also part of a process of growing up bah.. if you are not open minded enough to do that, i don't think you have already learnt from your mistakes and moved on. So please, feel free to laugh at your old selves, k?

Now at this age (i'm actually not really THAT old la), we face problems of a different sort. How to advance in career? How to earn more money? How to buy a flat? (Ah mi will elaborate on that soon ;P) And perhaps the more common question is, when to get married? *blushing profusely*

Honestly speaking, 2 years ago i wouldn't even have imagined that this is something i would face any time soon. That time, i was still entertaining the thought of getting an apartment of my own when i hit 35 and live a life as a swinging bachelor. However, things really will change when you meet someone special. it's like a tornardo just tore through your backyard, and rearranging everything in sight (in a good way of course). Suddenly, your priorities change, you have a goal to strive for, and you have something to look forward to. Everything just seems to fall into place and feel so right. :) And yes, this is something i'm thinking about right now. :P

Anyway, what i really want to say is...

Grow up, and have fun while you are at it.

Look back, and remember to laugh at yourself while doing so.
I hope these 2 lines make sense to you. Life is really not THAT long, so try to enjoy what's left of it, k? Almost time to bell ring loh!

Peter out!

RTs are not that bad after all

Hello! Here I am writing about my army stuff again. Boys, being boys, will always like to talk about their army stuff. Well, it's a unique experience after all mah. We got bragging rights after suffering 2.5 years in NS, okay? :P

Anyway, I just attended my remedial training last night at Maju camp near Clementi. I must say that RT is somewhat a congregation of different types of losers bah (including me). Losers due to the fact that we have all failed our IPPT. :P but seriously, it was a very interesting mix of people there. Let me try to list out the interesting ones. There was one guy with a rather sizable "spare tyre" which I thought was impossible to remove. *mental note to myself - pls dun get such a spare tyre* There was a fit looking guy with lots of tattoos. Wonder why he is there? There was a nerdy looking guy wearing a "Harry Potter" shirt. There were a couple of guys discussing Transformer action figures. (they looked like they were in their 30s... late 30s). The list of odd balls continues.. you can really see people from all walks of life there.

On a more interesting note, I bumped into an old secondary school friend there whom i have not met for ard 10 years. Had quite a nice catching up session with him there. See? RT can be a good place for bumping into long lost friends too.

As for the training, i think their policy this time round is not to wack you til you are afraid of RT, but to actually train you and help you prepare for the IPPT. Current training is in stages, early stages being not so tough and help you to prepare for the tougher training in the later stages. i think its alot better this way, than starting off with the tough training and make us dread coming to RT. i'm actually (kinda) looking forward to the sessions as i am finally getting some much needed exercise.(my long lost friend commented i'm sooooo much fatter than before :S)

anyway, this is my RT experience for now. Next will be my ICT experience (my virgin ICT leh *blushing*) which i will be going in for tomorrow morning. i hope it would be something like my RT experience, which is tough, but enjoyable.

Hope to see ya soon! Peter out!

Coyote Ugly

Pete and I managed to catch the movie Coyote Ugly on HBO on Saturday. This is my 3rd or 4th time watching it, but it remains as entertaining as the 1st time I watched it. It stars Piper Perabo, playing Violet Sanford, moving to New York to pursue her dream of becoming a songwriter. In the process, she lands a job at the hottest night spot in New York, in a bar called Coyote Ugly. She joins a team of resourceful young ladies in tantalising customers every night with their sexy dance moves and antics on the bartop. Nice moves accompanied by a great soundtrack with several songs by LeAnn Rimes. Not to mention, it also stars, sweet-faced hunk, Adam Garcia, who raises the oomph factor by several notches (*pat pat* Pete).

Later in the evening, we witnessed Singapore's very own version of Coyote Ugly, in our very own MRT train. This time, there was no oomph factor to it. A lady decided to make one of the poles situated at intervals in the train her personal pole, for pole dancing perhaps? I could find nowhere on the pole that I can have a grip on (in places where I can reach) as she was leaning on it wholly, in total oblivion! This version of Coyote Ugly is ugly indeed. Lady, this is so not cool.

Other not so cool behaviour observed during train rides:

- People on the outside crowding in front of train doors, making it quite impossible for the passengers inside to alight (if people on the inside can't get out, how is anyone from the outside going to get in? You really want us to shove and barge our way through?)

- Fit and able-bodied passengers pretending to fall asleep or appear unwell so as to avoid giving up their seat to those who need it more (mai ke ke, please)

- Passengers taking up more than 1 seat with their bags and barang barang, especially when the train is full (hmmm.....did your barang barang pay their due fares?)

A little courtesy really goes a long way. I wish people can just practise a little more consideration. It makes travelling a less unpleasant experience, especially during peak hours.

Okie, enough griping for now.....cos it's bell-ring time! Yoo hoo! I made it! I survived Monday! Okie, I'm packing up...home sweet home...

An nyonghi kyesayo!

Lacking in patriotism this year

Here i am again! First, lets give a very warm welcome to our new co-blogger, Ms Young-and-Pretty-but-with-stamps-stuck-to-her-eyes! *APPLAUSE* Hopefully, she will bring a breath of fresh air to this dying blog. Also, if you can notice, there are some changes to this blog. Still making some changes, but the main theme will be pandas. Why? Well, it's for us to know and u to find out. ;P

Anyway, back to the topic. National day just passed and i am feeling not THAT patriotic this year.. i guess it's due to the ICT issues that i have. ICT, is in-camp training, which is the curse that accompanies all boys (yes, i am a boy) who are citizens of Singapore. After the 2 years national service, we need to go back for another 10 cycles, which is usually once a year. This is my 1st year going back after ORDing in 2001, and i must say its been a really bad experience for me. Changes after changes, cock ups after cock ups. this has really made the ICT experience quite bad for me. though many other boys have said that ICT is a time to take off from work and relax, it doesn't really sound that tempting right now...

Oh and did i mention that i have to attend RT AKA remedial training? this is for fatter boys *blushing* who failed their fitness test. yah, i failed my fitness test.. my body has become too heavy for me to pull it up (hence failing chin ups) and for me to jump far enough (failed standing broad jump too). so i cant really blame anyone but myself for failing and having to attend RT. it's not really that bad, just that with the looming ICT, it's a little bit messy in terms of schedule and logistics.

anyway, that's the NS experience for me and why i'm lacking in patriotism this year. maybe next year i will feel better once this phase is over. i wana lose 10kg!!! wahahahaha..

Anyway, enough of my ranting already. see you next time!(when i get out of the "prison", that is )

P.S. One more thing about my co-blogger, she is a English fanatic who will correct my english mercilessly. So i guess u will read nothing but perfect english in this blog from now on. :P

Greetings

Howdy! I don't know who reads this blog, but I think I better make a little introduction before starting on this. I suppose I am the young, pretty lady that, according to the main blogger of this blog, has stamps stuck on her eyes, except that, I am not that young and pretty, and definitely do not have stamps stuck anywhere.

Am trying very hard to pen something after being invited to contribute to this blog, which I guess, can be blamed on my boring, little life. Not that it is not meaningful....maybe just a tad too predictable to be blogging too much about it. Well...I have to start with something, ooooh.....cracking my brains is sooo not my idea of a Friday, especially when we just had a holiday yesterday. It should be made a holiday today as well. Oh well, I suppose we can start with that......

Yesterday was Singapore's 42nd Birthday. Began kinetics early to head for the zoo with Pete's (aka main blogger of this blog) parents, and a few of his relatives. Great weather for a zoo outing, and we breezed through it in 3 hours. The rest of the day was spent nuaing (defined as lazing, a term that will be widely used) at Pete's uncle's place, followed by part 2 at Pete's place. Managed to catch the NDP on tv. It was a little different this year, as the land, air, and water were utilised to stage the event. The fireworks looked nice from our spot in front of the box, and at this point, where the national songs were being sung loud and proud, my heart will almost always swell with pride and patriotism. I was spent from the zoo outing and the nuaing yesterday, and dragged my oh-so-heavy feet to work this morning. It should be made a holiday today, so that we can continue with the nation's birthday celebrations, right? I am not feeling very patriotic right now.

It's okay...2 more hours to knocking off (aka bell-ring). And the count-down resumes...

Out!

Kinda feeling sian

Hmmm... its monday and i'm feeling sian.. sounds normal right? well i suppose so.. things are pretty crazy for me right now and i have no idea why i'm getting these semi-depression spells also.. hopefully the blues will go away soon.. they are kind of making my life quite miserable now..
