X'mas Eve @ Sakura & Cosy Bay wif my Poly classmates

24th Dec 2007, 9.00pm - Sakura @ Orchard Shopping Centre

I was late. Coz i came from family celebrations at uncle's place. Dinner at Sakura was great. The Claypot Drunken Prawn is a must try. Especially the soup!!! I did not ate much coz i already ate lots at uncle's place. Was super duper full. Had mostly deserts at Sakura. Not bad la... worth the price. =D

Opps.. i'm caught munching Claypot Laksa.

10.45pm - Cosy Bay @ Kallang

We headed to Cosy Bay thereafter to meet up wif more people!! We chilled, had red wine, chatted, count down to X'mas, exchanged presents and took photos. It was quite a memorable poly classmates X'mas Nite gathering. Its the first time we had such gathering after graduation. And the second time i spent X'mas at Cosy Bay. The last time was with Scream Club. A good place coz is less crowded and the scenery is good. Cooling too.... ('',)

Skippy Skip Day & Final Christmas Shopping

21st December 2007 . Final Christmas Shopping

--------------------------------------------------------------

Met Lynn today to pass her the Christmas present i got her. So glad she liked it! We had lunch T Ding Tai Fung. Xiao Long Bao & Pork Chop Fried Rice is simply unresistable!! ~droolz !!~ We shopped around till around 6pm before we parted. And i did my final Christmas Shopping too. Saw May wif her bf and a baby boy... he's soo cute. and May wanna bluff me that's her kid... ya ya....

Had dinner wif Ivan & gf Queenie, Yvonne, Ally, Alanis, Chye Eng & Efi & fren. A short gathering. Been some time since i saw Chye Eng. Good to see him getting bigger in size & tanned. We went for more shopping thereafter.

I bought my Skippy Choco Stripe Peanut Butter at Cold Storage! thanks to Xiao Ming's recommendation. Its really good. And its eaten straight from the bottle. Yum!! Now i know why May Anne liked it so much. :D

That's the aftermath of digging! Its heavenly..... YUM!! however, its really sinful. Unhealthy and fattening too. Occasional eating is fine yeah! Its really filling. And ... i'm FULL now!! bought a box of 6 cream puff from Chewy Juniors. Likewhat the name says ... its chewy and best served chilled. it has a doughnut-like filling on top of the puff. overall rating is that i still prefer doughnuts. it ain't that fantastic!

I've finally managed to finish wrapping all my presents. Hmm.... nice huh?? Wrapping service!! anyone?? but i do charge!! LOLZ!! 2ml's going to Sentosa!!!! i'm having a Volleyball crave!! :D

So far been busy in and out of camp, physio sessions, Christmas shopping and preparation, meeting up with frenx and ....... (the list just goes on). Time in camp this month is just short. I can say this is the month that i spent my time most in the civilian world. Really enjoy it. Counting down ... 5 more days till X'mas...... 4 more days till X'mas Eve Celebrations (its party time!!!!!!!). And i'm really looking forward to it!! :D

quite a busy week again...

it was a busy week once again. with all the parade rehearsals for today's parents' visiting day. all the preparation work to do and setting up was really never ending. designed the graffiti for our bunk windows too. it was really nice and had a great x'mas feel. too bad there were some red eyes in the company. they vandalised it. it was expected. the most fun thing in camp this week wasn't the x'mas celebration. but was the surprised water polo game CO came up wif. we were all resting in bunk when he came in all of a sudden. he gave us only 3 mins to get change and get everyone at the swimming pool for the game. i managed to score 1 goal. it was super fun. though we lost and had to be punished. i truly enjoyed it. CO... more water polo games???? :D

yesterday i went to see my ortho and he said that i am suffering from Stress Changes. its mild and its due to prolonged carrying of heavy weight. what to do?? i'm a signaller of cuz my load is more. 2 months of physio is required to strengthen my muscles before the next review. my knee hurts too during and after the parade today. damn sian... haiz...

monday's is a battalion off. and i had physio on tues morning. so i'll only book in after my physio's appt. but wed will book out again coz of thur's hari raya haji. ahha.. another long weekend. and... x'mas is coming lo!!!!! can't wait!!... and my 22nd b'day is coming again....

retail therapy.dinner.movie.bar

7th Dec 2007. Retail Therapy. Dinner. Movie. Bar
------------------------------------------------------------

I went shopping again today! and i bought 2 tops from SideWalk ( at Far East Plaza), 1 from Spin the Bottle and 1 from Dresscode ( at The Cathay ). I simply love these concept stores that sells such unique T-shirts. The designs are cool & funky. Some are like the only piece imported. So chances of meeting someone wearing the same thing as me is quite unlikely. Hmmz..... i'm such such a T-shirt guy.

met ivan for dinner at Japan Village. its quite worth the price. especially the soft shell crab maki which sells for 99 cents per plate!! we watched The Heartbreak Kid with the 2 free complimentary tickets that i got from the Hugo Boss XY promotion. its a damn hilarious movie. no doubt, ben stiller is a good comedy actor. met jun rong after that for a drink at The Roomful of Blues. its a bar with live band. not too bad. had a pine of Hoe Garden. its quite good. good beer and ambience. a nice place to chill.

yup... i saw that 4 digit once again. REMEMBER to buy 4D!! :)



~ an enjoyable day ~

X'MaZ ShoppinG!!

I went X'mas shopping today!!! and i bought quite a number of present lo!!!! but.. i'm still short of a few. If not for this week's leave, i really would not have sufficient time to get presents. went shopping with aunt today. and.... we went back with really many bags of presents.

X'mas is one of the festive seasons which i look forward to. i like being Mr. Santa giving presents away. i like to see the smiles on my cousins faces when they recieve my presents. people always wonder why i am willing to spend so much during x'mas. to me, its once a year only. only every year this time will everyone spend this special occasion together, eat, celebrate and party. and i would to spend this special moment with my love ones too!

oh shit... i haven done the template for the decorations for my bunk windows. gotta get it done soon. gotta go ZZZZZZZ liaoz.... more x'mas shopping 2ml!! :)

Extraordinary Job

today i learnt about an extraordinary job from terry. to me its extraordinary. its a job that requires patience and discipline. mutual trust and responsiblity is needed amongst team members too. it has only a HQ and no office. the employees gather all at fast food restaurant and kopitiam to work. its not my cup of tea. so i had to reject the job offer. but i learnt something today and i made a new friend, terry.

i really dunno how i should elaborate about the job. its one that requires you to put in a sum of money to open a "so called" a/c. the job scope is to take in more ppl under you so as to reap more benefits and earn more money. these people are also your customers. the customers will gain benefits from rebates monthly too. the wider your connection, the more you and your team members will gain.

its good to learn and see more. it helps me understand myself better too. such job is not my cup of tea though there are many people who earn lots of money. to me finding a job that makes me happy and contented working is more important than money. its the satisfaction and joy you gain at the end of the day that is more crucial.



~ a new experience & a new friend ~

My early X'mas present - Adidas Jacket

ONCE INNOVATIVE,

NOW CLASSIC,

ALWAYS AUTHENTIC.

...... ADIDAS

yeah yeah!! i might be going to Bangkok during CNY!!!! the best thing is i wun have to apply for leave as i will be going during the CNY off days. so excited sia!! another shopping paradise! another short vacation. now is waiting for confirmation on air tickets and hotel availability. shall pray hard ya!!!! :D

....... the feeling of not booking in on Sunday is ... DAMN SHIOOOK!!!!!

~ the brand with the 3 stripes ... ~

1 week OFF lo!!!

1 week OFF lo!!!!

finally there's a time to clear leave & off. however, gotta go back for guard duty on tues afternoon. its worth it .. coz its counted as weekend duty as we are mounting duty during battalion off. so ya... 1 less duty to do in future.

i'm back from swimming. feels damn good after a swim and tan. quite a sunny day today. yup... gotta exercise more lo.. been putting on weight and adding calories to my body over the past week. gonna burn them all!!!! BURN! BURN! moreover... the week after out off we gonna have IPPT test. gonna maintain my silver standard yeah. if not those stupid RT will come and haunt me again.

yesterday's Friendship Night @ PLC marks the end of the 2 weeks bilateral exercise with Indonesia. the programme last night was quite fun actually. the traditional dance (the indons call it) was interesting except that it doesn't quite suit the title of the show as there were steel rods breaking stunts and glass eating people. but can say that the indons are sporty people as there sang and danced to all the songs, and they just party and enjoyed themselves. different compared to when they were serious and focus during training. the guy beside me wanted to exchange watches with me which i declined his offer. haha.. i prefer my watch still despite him wanting to trade me his Swiss watch. its my birthday present this year ya so no exchange!

today's dec 1 2007!! the last month of 2007. a new year is coming and worth anticipating for. 2008.. i'll ORD and step into the working world. its gonna a start a new chapter of my life. gonna think of my new year resolutions lo. oh yupz.... HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY MAY!!!! :)
