Defination of MILF

2009-12-03T18:03:00.000-08:00

went for casual dinner n shopping with 2 friends at the "new" tampines shopping center last friday as it was a public holiday. saw a real hot local babe walking to a restaurant ,short hair, weaing black top n white shorts. could not help but gwak n stare blatenly at her delicately curves.
at the restaurant, 2 kids came to her .... she was a mother! at this point of time, i understand wat kenneth has been trying to educate me on(ken has been trying to get to me e impact a m.i.l.f. can have on u, but i never juz can't seem to get it)... e defination of m.i.l.f. No matter how many times he tried to describe to me, i could not understand e experience or feelings invoked when u c one. Now ,recalling my reactions that day, i understand what m.i.l.f. meant literally, and also the standards of one..
OH MY OH!...shiok

Australia- hi, mate (brisbane- back home)

2009-11-23T23:22:00.000-08:00

yah part 2- n much much much more meaningful. when we touched down on brisbane, somehow i felt more at home le. is like everything is simpler here, n i was super excited to c e house tat my brother has been living in. one of richard's buddy is a COD pro, n i mean fucking pro! he is in jedi clan which plays competitive gaming back in singapore. getting to watch him play is like... omg.. he really frags all e pub players with ease. there was once, he killed one, n was backstabbed.. not even panicking, he SIMPLY turn around , n shoot e opponent in e fog! e enemy died within seconds b4 i could even say "wow". i also got to c another of richard's friend ,ah lim, own his opponents in this game- LOL.

needless to say, the first thing i did was to visit the Brisbane casino. when i saw e casino, i immediately felt a great surge of luck coming into my body from the air. this is mainly due to e casino looking more medieval, n it been called the TREASURY. while working in MOF, the building was also called the treasury. hence with e familiarity, i could not help but be charged up internally.

spent most of my times at Brisbane in e Treasury n had a great time there. got to c a lot of poker pros n drunkard fishes. i played only roulette n poker, with a net gain/loss of $250 aussie dollars for every 1.5 hours. the rakes there were reasonable, n i could play at ease, unlike in Crown. e dealers were also super friendly, n they will chat with us.

of coz i did not juz spend time onli at e casino. i also went shopping n my brother bought me gambling chips n cards n table felt. i also visited my brother's school. it really has e Harry Potter feeling, n i can't help but feel envious for my brother over e past few years ( while i have been suffering in NTU). I also went to e famous Gold Coast. swam there alone, while my brother (needless to say), took photos of the Gold Coast. e waves in Gold Coast r v fun to play with, n i really wished i had also opted to study in australia. i would have gone casino 4 times a day n the Gold Coast once a fortnight.

coming to brisbane reminds me a lot of my stay in Paris. truely an adventure. but i was disapointed tat i could onli stay there for a week. esp when i stayed in europe for almoz 2 months, 1 week is really nothing comparable. well e consolation is tat i get to play l4d with my sg friends once more.. Australians r truely friendly pple, unlike e europeans.. also it has relatively okie food prices if u noe where to find them. e weather there is also good. even in summer, the wind is strong n it is not humid at all!

ok lah no point saying so much.. think photos explain everything.. waiting for richard to upload them first.

3 songs i dedicate to my australian stay in brisbane-- 1)Papparrazi by lady gaga 2)Evacuate the dancefloor by cascada 3)Like it like that by guy sebastian

Australia- hi, mate (melbourne exploits)

2009-11-23T22:46:00.001-08:00

took leave for a week for a 8 day trip to australia. have been saving up n looking forward to it as it is a good chance for me to visit my brother studying there. Best thing, all expenses there will be covered for by richard. wink, shiok shiok, lala yaya papaya.
we arranged to meet in melbourne first n travel ard b4 going b to my brother's hometown in brisbane. in order to save money, i bought from jet star tat requires me to go to darwin first b4 going to melbourne. singapore customs actualli allowed me to bring my oversized luggage bag over despite my budget travel light ticket. but i was punished in darwin when they refused n i had to give it away. i managed to sell it for 5 australian dollars to some los angelas travellers who chose to work in darwin for 2 months. well, at least they were happy. e bag was worth 36 sing dollars.
reached melbourne airport, n journeyed further to e hotel to meet my brother n his 2 friends pierre and justin. i met them b4 n i liked pierre's friendly personality. justin, however proved to be embarrassing n a stressful person to be with. justin however had no mean intentions, juz tat he is alwas shooting pple n showing off. first day was light with juz dinner n casino n a bit of shopping. bought a poker book there.
on our 2nd day, we travelled to penguin island n see penguins return b from e sea to their tunnels. they dun walk, they waddle... so cute lah... my brother was disapointed though. he did not get to take pictures of e penguins coz it was not allowed. we bought e more expensive tickets to be in e front line to take pictures... n yet they dun allow... e flash will scare the penguins.
e 3rd day we went to see e 12 apostles. it was a long 4.5 hour journey, but justin is a good friend of richard, hence he did not mind. i owe him one there. passed by e great ocean road too. it is meaningful to c my brother take pictures along e way as it is his new found passion with his 3k worth of camera. v happy to c him enjoying his life e australian way. e 12 apostles was so geography lah.. teachings on how they were formed brings me memories of my younger days learning geography. meanwhile, my brother continued taking photos, enjoying his own world of photography.
4th day, we went to an open zoo. it is like e safari in africa, juz tat dun have elephants, which realli dissapointed me. it was cool, as we took e safari private tram ride, n we had great services. my brother of coz, took photos of e animals. justin was irritating the driver n our guide though, with all his animal discovery questions. i dunno whether to slap him or be amused.. he juz enjoys disturbing pple.. but u should see his photography skills. he taught my brother a lot., for which i am grateful. as i said, he is richard's good friend, for which i am grateful
melbourne trip was honestly a bit too rushed. also e overnight airflight trip to melbourne eventually got into me n fatigue was an issue. justin (either intentionally or unintentionally) has made himself e star of e trip. he recommend us to a lot of good food, taught my brother a lot of photography stuffs, treat us to abundance of large apple mangoes (for onli $1.20 each!), irritate everyone except himself, drive us around and amuse us at the same time. awesome,.. great. it was a pity tat i onli spend one night in e Crown Casino ( n lose $155) there. e rakes were horrible but i could not help it. if onli i had more time to stay in Crown. Spending only one night in Crown is my deepest regret in Melbourne.
we travelled b to brisbane by domestic flight- pierre, richard n me

once again, i managed to epicly fail to update my blog. but it is not because i am lazy, but rather my life has been rather monotonous. except till e recent australia trip of coz... which i will narrate in my next post.
but my life is not meaningless.. i have still yet to recover from my happiness n relief of seeing my fyp get a D. which is ridiculous, coz many pple would have break down in tears at e sight of a D for fyp... not this beast though.
working has been fun too. i got a good site at city hall- MOF. this makes my working experience a lot better. i spend my salary on getting a new computer, money for australia trip n for my family.
oh one of my greatest joy has been achieved. to finally be able to give money to my parents. this is super meaningful to me n it is actualli one of e main motivation for me working... (if not, who dun wan to actualli juz stay at home n play l4d n low stakes poker...)
ok next post...australia trip.

Left 4 Dead

2009-08-28T00:24:00.000-07:00

i am v v proud to say....that my 3 months holidays have been well meaningfully spent on training myself up for l4d. L4D is now my life,n is e thing i look forward to.
still can remember e 1st time i played l4d with ken n xy..it was a disaster.. we could not even complete e advanced level of e no mercy map. back then, all tat realli was on my mind was my university final year exams.

ironically, l4d did not mean anything to me from e start. i was then a full time dota player(n part time university student) n venturing into l4d was out of my mind. however,all these changed one nite.... when ken n i were playing in bugis,... n i keep getting kicked,for no reason somemore...
i was very,.... no, i was fucking depressed n upset abt e unfairness. how could i get kicked 4 times in a row... i could not take it at all. from tat nite onwards, i declared myself to be a full time l4d player since it's my holidays. i took over my brother's account n played 15 hours a day.

but sadli,i never improved much. my break came however one nite.... i had e luck to play l4d with 3 friends,against 4 friends.. it was so great tat e lady labbit and another guy with a chinese name of "begging to be defeated" added me as a friend online..(e 3rd guy was bond,but he is unfriendly...till now,he is still vulgar n fierce to strangers) tat nite, i found the break through from beginner to advanced inhouse player.
later on,i realise they were from a clan called smt. every nite was a must to play l4d for me.i learnt many infected tactics n improved my survival skills tremendousli. i got to noe more smt players. eventualli,i got to join SMT, n to date,i am v proud to be still so. i mark zeus n labbit as my mentors in my heart.. but elephant's pride demands tat they r not aware.

playing l4d makes me feel like a yang guo in e condor heroes. in condor heroes, yang guo did not juz learn his fighting skills from e loctus sect. he goes all around e world n learn different styles of playing from e beggar's sect,e mongolian army...like wise,civilised elephant(my l4d nick) plays in lots of different servers n infiltrate a lot of friends game... cough...cough...civilised elephant is yang guo,,,cough cough

sadli,my l4d skills have reached e peak of an average player,n i am finding it v hard to find e 2nd break through.. it does not help tat i am now working in EDS,a hp company. in fact my l4d skills have dropped a bit,due to fatigue of working till ard 8pm. But not much drop,coz my silent passion is pushing me to play to my best, while my instincts n alertness dropped, my skills were still maintained.

oh yah hor.... how can i not mention tat i have found a new job... not bad job,seriousli HP is a good company,n i feel confident learning a lot n upgrading myself.

L4D,L4d, l4D!
SMT!SMT!SMT!
civilised_elephant! civilised elephant! civilised_elephant!

i am meeting smt pple for dinner next weekend.. looking forward to it, although i am not showing it... lalayaya papa ya..

RE: updates of my convo pictures coming up soon..meanwhile,my works in eds continue

playing l4d makes me feel like yang guo in e condor heroes

The 13 Wonders ( Glen Lin )

2009-05-27T01:26:00.000-07:00

23th may--i shoot the 2nd red dragon to glen in his house tat day for his 13th wonders... super fast,, it was only e beginning of e mid stage of e round.. n it was supposed to be super safe.. jaws went wide open when i saw it.. somemore,is i shoot one! sianz lah
but it certainly brought b memories of how i did my 13th wonders also.. n it was glen also who gave me e 13th wonder! so it was like... e return of e favour... man...
e best thing was... he already announced to e whole table he was doing e 13th wonders.. n he still did it so fast.. he started with i think 8/9 tiles formed only...
still won a bit from tat nite though.. but oh man, wat a nite..luckily, i did not shoot one bamboo.. i starting to be scared of feeding e one bamboo.. has happened a few times.

naturally,oh yeah

2009-05-27T01:05:00.000-07:00

yes,yes,yes..i passed..which means i finally graduated...oh oh oh yeah.. sweat... e last few nites in e last few weeks... man they were a nightmare..sleepless nites cannot sleep n worry abt results... n to finally c e wonderful remarks of graduation... phew.. shout for joy, no more studying!
erm, a horrendous recap of my uni days..
came in youthful n energetic.. not ever wanting to study.. so playful, n never worry abt exams or quizes till e day b4.. naturally,did not do well.. but passed..
first 2 yrs was spent as an enthusiast learning contract bridge, naturally,i won a lot of prizes n awards externally n internally.. but wat mattered was not abt bridge ..it was e learning process. after all, i have already quit bridge. one of my bridge comrade went on to be a top notched national player in bridge. it really showed how passion can drive wonders n energy into a person.
3rd yr onwards, my results went downhill all e way. it was a combination of e tough modules, picking up of new things like mahjong, salsa n dota. performing for ntu salsa en snyc was actually e most fun times in ntu life. dota was fun too, but it turned out to be only a foundation, as it was ironically outside ntu where i found my dota buddies who really have this affinity of winning,no matter wat. mahjong... well,i seemed to have a flair for e game. n every nite, even during exam days, play like nobody's business... i did e 13 wonders in hall 16 too.. oh yeah. but actually, learning mahjong was super meaningful becoz... i always perceived mahjong to be something out of my league.. want play mj muz speak crudely n a bit ah beng tat kind. also, i get to c how fast i learn mind games, using e same approach i have been adopting towards bridge e past 2 yrs
so u can imagine, a uni life of play play n play.. n oh yah.. sleep, n more play,. n watever time i have, take a nap. naturally, i failed modules after modules..sometimes i smile even when i c e results.. chemistry n computing was e ultimate.. i took each subjects 5/6 times b4 passing.
oh yah,did i forget to tell u, i also went to Paris for GSS programme. awesome... who says uni cannot be fun... only e results viewing is not fun.
Final year, woke up.. start studying hard.. barely passed most of e subjects.. but still pass.. e most scary is my FYP. i did not even do my fyp progress report,which constituted ard 25% of e final marks. e fyp report i handed up was with full of disapproval from my prof n moderator too. i had to redo e fyp report within a few days, n tat was only through luck tat i got to even redo.. i think, had i not redo,i would have stayed b one more sem for fyp report alone.
This is one of e worst reports i have seen so far..honestly. e moderator said to me on e day of presentation. It is not of university standard at all!-he continues.. this 2 statements will always remain in my mind..
well ok lah.. now everything happy happy le.. kai kai xin xin, it is abt time to pursue my dreams.
....Naturally

happiness

eye diseases

2009-04-15T09:18:00.000-07:00

my rite eye keep on getting swollen.. it sucks.. it affected my studies,my fyp..n best,it gave me an excuse not to study.
went to hospital after visiting private doctors 3 times.. it was a good move.. not that it really helped more.. but cheaper.. n... omg.. i got a sweet doctor to look after my eye.. she will go..look at my ear..look at my ear..come..come. while she inspects or cleans up my eye tenderly..
surgery was another issue. it was then i realised how mcp i am..i at tat point of time wished my doctor was a man,n when she injected needles into my eye lids.i really was scared to e max of any mistakes.. i keep on imagining her making mistakes,poking into my eye, n say oh oh,so sorry..
dota stopped,.. i miss frenchfries,babu singh, mango so much.. n of coz playing with a team makes winning so much more fun.. oh yah.. no such thing as lose,when i play with either mango's or french fries team..
oh well.. my eye is better now.. but 2 times swollen is no joke.. i played a bit of l4d recently.. i think i looked like e smoker when my rite eye is swollen.. imagine every 30s,tears will come out of my eye,as it is suffering..

encounter with e lower class pple

2009-03-18T01:26:00.001-07:00

if u watch jack neo shows,u will alwas see characters deceiving themselves with v funny remarks or logic. like for eg. mark's theory of winning in 4D..u either win or u lose.. 50-50%..
i alwas tot all these r juz in shows..for laughter,humour or sacarsm.. but i actually encountered a few jack neo's movie scenarios recently..

eg,last wed,i went out with chee wee for thai dinner plus a movie..thai food was nice,but anyway,later we went to watch marley n me movie. e cinema was almoz empty with juz a few pple watching a relative old movie on a weekday. me n chee wee juz watched e show, n at most commented on e story plot once in a while. Then got this mad guy, alone n mad looking(actually,later he was really mad). he was sitting directly in front of me,n he suddenly stand up n shouted abt us needing to keep quiet in e movie.. n we were hardly talking at all! stunned for a few seconds..then i commented v loudly"CRAZY fellow".. v irritating sound of crazy highly emphasised,ne h got mad! which was honestly wat i wanted. he stared at me while i smiled at him,awaiting for him to deliver his first punch b4 i start kicking him,but to my dissapointment,he did not fight. instd, he sat on top of e chair cushionn purposely block my view. i pushed him to e ground n we started argueing abt who is e one been kuai lan..tat was e exact words used...kuai lan.. chee wee was like trying pacify e situation,while e calm me was calm but yet trying to aggrevate e situation. (btw,calm does not mean smart). chee wee in e end walked to another sit away from him,but i refused to sit anywhere else. i purposely coughed v heavily at his hair,which provoked more quarrels..
haiz..marley n me is a good show,n v touching.. but i guess both of us(not talking abt chee wee) really spoiled e whole show's atmosphere. but it is his fault,i merely defended my pride n class.. no way was a mad man going to have e last laugh at me.. mad laugh then he win..
marley n me is really a good show.. i like it a lot.. esp e dog,he really relates to how deeply dogs have immersed into my family's lifestyle. honestly rite, i am nice to pple,but i never trust human beings. family aside,my dogs r my most trust worthy friends tat i will trust n noe they will never want to harm me for selfish gains.
another encounter..but not so exciting.. i was taking cab from home to ntu,n throughout e 45 mins rite,e taxi driver kept on complaining abt how bad sg government is.. n i can tell he is those ah seng in e past,one of e more senior chief gangsters also got. anyway,he was convincing me abt how stupid sg citizens r to vote for e gov. juz for e sake of economic stability,which turned out to be so bad. i was like telling him abt how sg is safer than other countries which is our strong point,n he start telling me tat sg is safe only coz we literally pay for the lights n safety measures...oh man..so lame.. then nvm..i start convincing him tat citizens should vote for PAP n only consider other parties if they proved to be reasonable parties. u noe wat he tell me?? i try to recall e conversation...
"this sg pple,dunnoe how to think one..simple probability also dunno how to count..still think they so smart..
...ok i ask u.. wat is e probability a political party is better than PAP?"
i replied.."low..they r not exactly v active now except for when there are.."
he interrupts "wrong! tat is y gov brain wash u all till simple maths also dunno how to count....e chances is 33%!!!!'..."
he continues"there is a 33% chance any party is better than our gov,33% chance it is e same,33% chance it is worse!"

OMG.. i really heard such logic from my own encounters.. i cannot believe it.. wat has my nation turned into.. there is a taxi driver with such logic, and an encounter with a madman in a cinema...
worse..wat have i turned into.....

Tribute to my favourite Dota hero:Yurnero the Juggernaut

2009-02-04T00:56:00.000-08:00

this story is modified from my fantasies when i first play dota n was obsessed with juggernaut's omnislash n thought perserverance was a godly item. needless to say,my juggernaut went round e map looking for e item perserverance n got slaughtered many times,b4 i learnt how to get perserverance,b4 boots...i love juggernaut a lot.i really do.. even when my friends told me how a beginner should not use such heroes,i did not mind, as long as i was rewarded with getting to perform e OM-NI_SLASH! ladies n gentlemen, welcome to my world of juggernauts..

Once upon a time,in a small northen village of Kalimdor,a baby juggernaut was born. He was looked after by his grandparents KOTL and CM who loved him very much n took great care of him. He was called Yurnero,soon to be known as e greatest hero of all times.
It was at this time whereby scourge mages were often sent by the Lich King to haunt the villagers for protection fees. Yurnero at the tender age of one,already learnt the art of spinning without been affected by spells and chased them away. The mages tired out eventually after they realised Yurnero had unlimited mana spinning thanks to his grandparents. Even the loan shark leader DP could not handle him n had to run away with her magical bats.
The lich king was angered tat the sentinels dared to defy his enforced laws and sent his best assasin SA and hired his contracted bounty hunter BH to hunt him down. Young Yurnero could not handle them and was cluelessly spinning at the wrong places,while been tactically backstabbed. Fortune was on his side as he became mysteriously invisible in e forest and thus managed to escape. To date,noone ever could solve e mystery y he became invisible suddenly near the trees.
Yurnero,injured and vulnerable,sought solace at his uncle's tarvern. His uncle AM was a v nice blind man who was one of e elite guards of e sentinels at its peak b4 e dark times. Yurnero asked:"Uncle AM,y is it tat i cannot c my enemies which are haunting me? how can i see better?" Uncle AM replied:"erm,let me think how can this old one help.. e problem with u,young Yurnero is tat u see too much,n feel too little. fighting a war is never abt fighting ur opps,it's abt feeling urself and understanding ur surroundings to e peak of perfection...Only then,can u feel e air n feel e foreign matters in e air around u" Uncle AM then took out a gem n gave the juggernaut intensive training with it. By the end of 2 months, young Yurnero finally learnt how to sense e disturbance in e force around him,n trusted his fighting skills totally on his instincts n his essense.
The jug went b n sought revenge on BH n SA. They were totally dominated by him n were defenceless. BH n SA went b to e Lich King n complained:"My Lord,it is not fair.We r most valued for our invisibility,and yet, this youngster juz c through us like water.i am sorry,but we cannot be of service to u anymore,now tat we have lost our invisibility."
e Lich King was infuriated and sent his top henchman the SK. SK was powerful because he had 2 lives n his 2nd life usually will kill any opps who dared stand in his way. yurnero got a shock when SK merely revived from his spin. Yurnero had to cool down n started retreating..However,SK chased him for 3 days n the jug was cornered in e corner of e map.Yurnero,then a teenager recalled his trainings in his early days,whereby he had to sit down at e fountain n do nothing but meditate. it was at this hour of need,tat he finally understood wat his trainings were for-to do nothing is so tat he will not be reliant on his spins,but rather fighting with his own skills n beliefs. Having achieved enlightenment,he closed his eyes n do wat his mediation over e years guide him to do wat he excels best...it was e OM-NI-SLASH! with tat, e 3 hit combo killed SK's 2 lives. Jug taunted SK n said" 3 is better than 2! u r doomed.." SK then said"u will not kill me pls..i am your father..." SK then took out his mask,n jug realised he was e man who used to play with him when he was young. Tears flowed out,n SK took e chance to escape.
Our dear jug was not naive. He knew SK has been mind altered n will still came b for him. He hence practised on his new SENSATIONAL omnislash.Jug was a fast learner n soon increased his omni to a 5 hit combo. Meanwhile,SK went to farm for a weapon called MANTA. with tat,SK planned to have 6(3x2) images to counter jug's 5 hit combo. SK eventually hunted jug down,but he got defeated again..OM-huat-NI-huat-SLASH!..Jug screamed in victory"while 6 is more than 5,5 is more than 4! Manta has cool down..ur ignorance will be ur downfall.." With tat,e evil SK was perished.
Jug was not fast enough though,to stop a droid from sliding in n stealing e MANTA b4 teleporting away. e droid was later known to be Tinker,n it created history by defeating one of e wildest monsters called Roshan n claimed e ageis. Tinker was programmed by e Lich King to hunt down jug. This time,jug gave up hope for Tinker had 6 images this time,as a robot has no cooldown. Jug,in defeat,went into isolation for years.
Fortunately for e sentinels,our hero stumbled onto a secret shop. Next to e billard place,there was a lanshop. yurnero took up IT courses and,with the help of technology, mastered his omni-slash to the fullest! he has perfected hsi omnislash to a 7 hit combo! During e course, he also fell in love with the secret shop sales lady,lina and they got married. Lina loved him v much too,n gave him a butterfly pin.
Enthusiastically,our now adult Yurnero went b n chased Tinker away from e village. E villagers cheered in joy,for their saviour the juggernaut king has returned! Yurnero's 7 hit combo was juz enought to defeat e roshan slayer. huat-OM-huat-NI-huat-SLASH-huat! e villagers celebrated in joy at their release,but yurnero was not satisfied. He wanted the scourge to leave e village once n for all.
However,reality is tat age has caught up with our no longer young hero here,n his meditation has also let him noe of his limits of his powers. The lich king was truely invincible,for he has 9 lives. But heroes r defined not by their powers,but by their character and their love for their nation. Yurnero, with the most threatening but calm voice he can master, hissed to e Lich King:"Dreaded enemy,e time has come,my omni slash is boundless in powers n has grown more since e slay of e TINKER. i challenge u to mortal combat one on one! come here now with ur 9 lives!"
The Lich King laughed,n laughed n laughed for a long time,then stared at jug, Yurnero was not affected n continued to smile sweetly at the scourge war lord. The lich king,suddenly with disguise did something he never did b4.....
the Lich King(level 25) has left the realm of Kalimdor.

mahjong drought

2008-12-27T22:05:00.000-08:00

juz something amazing,i self touched my most valued game in mahjong last night... juz for tat game, n it is only 1 fold.. y is it so amazing,when i had no flowers or animals, n had to resort to all sequence for tat one fold...it is coz... tat was my only win in that whole round! n it was at e very last game of e round then i won e v last round,to avoid having a record of not winning at all in a round.
i lost $90 tat nite,but it could have been more.. there goes my undefeated mj streak. somehow, everytime i go out with a girl,i will lose money tat nite or e next day . n maybe tat is y i win more often than lose in gambling.

homeless freak

2008-12-24T08:00:00.000-08:00

yes,i noe.. e nick sucks.. but my life realli sucks, coz i am realli tat...a homeless freak now.. over e past 1.5 weeks,i have slept at airports, restaurants,lan shops, school hall lounge... it realli sucks to be in such a position, but i guess i dun have a choice...i cannot trouble pple n stay in their houses no matter wat
i dun understand y my parents treat me like this... i am e elder brother n i am not nasty or anything.. somehow my presence irk them, at difficult times, i have to endure my parents' nonsense, n i never complain.. n while i go through all these tough moments, my younger brother simply avoid them by been overseas studying, n spending more money. n yet, eventually i am e one been kicked out of e house, while my parents long for my younger brother to return b to them.
nobody will believe wat make them chase me out. it all juz coz of a superstition. n i was chased out juz like tat to protect themselves. well, e superstition did bring us bad luck when they believe n react according to it..
it is apparant tat i have been taken for granted. i am definateli staying away from them for some time,as i think we used to be getting too close for comfort.
this incident aside, these few days i am busy doing fyp. my gambling has been on a high streak. i have won b all my losses in poker in juz 2 sessions n won even more. so,been tight n following e technical odds do pay off in e long run after all....my mj has been undefeated,lol... although it is mostly luck..lol which is a good thing coz now,i need something to help me tide over this difficult period(my parents dun wan me!!)
oh yah,merry christmas ,pple!

summer i love you

recently watched shows tat r real romantic. like e summer i love u,e romance is.... omg.. is about this bgr tat jus stared whereby e guy has a damaged spine and cannot walk. but e girl love him so much tat she allowed e doctor to grow some micro organic stuffs in her body b4 transfering them to the guy's body. she did so,even noeing tat e risks were v high as it was an unstable experiment. e guy recovered fast after tat, n e first night they kissed, e guy realised he could stand up! they could even dance e night away.. however,e romance was abrupted by e side effects e girl faced,as she grew older drasticalli n could not tell when she was going to die. to avoid been a burden, she decided to run away from e ko samui island( where e romance started). she later acted as her elder sister n told the guy to juz forget her "younger sis" n lied to her tat she had already forgotten him. e guy was shattered n did not have e heart to exercise his body n could not walk again. however,at e ending he found out abt her sacrifice n he found her n begged her to continue e relationship. e girl/now elderly auntie refused,n came e most dramatic part of e show..e guy went to e doctor n get e doctor to do e same experiment on him,juz so tat he will become older as well! they lived happily ever after.. wah nice

it is so much more romantic than even like water for chocolate(but tat is also real nice n all food enthusiasts should love it as they associate life with food all e way!). LWFC is one of e stories for me to read up again tonite for my exam tml.

so far,my exams going on fine..coz open book,n i happened to noe how to do e correct questions. it was a blessing in disguise tat some segments of rc n steel i dun noe how to do at all,so tat i wun waste time to even think abt it. i realised tat i am not used to e idea of walking out of e exam halls,noeing i will even pass a paper.. oh yah,now is exam period. end of blog entry, wat summer,wat winter i love u here n there...go n study lah!

exams r coming

2008-10-30T03:34:00.000-07:00

I am not whining,but recently my luck is not as good as it used to be. Even in mahjong which i alwas felt tat flair, i am feeding by throwing corner tiles. N when i am supposed to guard,i have everything dangerous with no winds to throw against a peng hu.. n yes.. most imptly, y am i alwas put in tat situation i muz guard! i am not complaining, in fact, playing such low stakes of 20-40 cents, it is better to be put to e test, whereby e negative effects of experimenting new tactics will show out more clearly. I guess it is due to such luck, tat i think i have yet surpass a new lvl of gambling. It was most apparant last sat,whereby my poker skills improved so much n i keep on snatching so much pots n getting out of trouble quickly after a good read. true enuff,each time i fold, e pot will somehow amass to real big with a few re raises. I had 2 bad luck scenes whereby i got beaten only after going all in n losing only juz at e river(was leading by more than 90%) n another scenario leading a big pot till e turn, with almoz all my pot in before e turn. 2 all in lost, n yet i onli lose $45.. honestly,i noe i played well,juz tat my luck is not there... feel happy,coz gambling has alwas been process orientated,as long as i dun get such unfair treatment all e time. at least my mahjong streak recovered my loss immediately, which made me so happy, coz i finally cancel my losing streak!
exams r coming, n yet thxs to freddie i got so much episodes of prison break n heroes to catch up. anyone can remember how tea bag escaped from sona? i onli remembered him been e leader of sona prison after he backstab e black man..
i am supposed to be stressed.

airport ventures

2008-10-09T02:08:00.000-07:00

there was this nite at e airport i was studying, whereby i encountered something which i will not forget. i was studying in pacific cafe,becoz it is good to sleep there,lol.. at tat time, there was this taiwan girl who was also sleeping there n fooling ard in e airport. somehow, we ended up striking a conversation,n oh my.. she really can talk,.. i was struggling to keep up with her at e wee hours of 4-5am plus! when 2 friends juz got to noe each other, usually u start sharing a bit abt yourselves first n ur lifestyle.. but not her..she is crazy! not literally of coz, she juz had depression b4, but e thing is tat she started talking abt pilosophies n politics for a v long time.. in chinese of coz.. man,her knowledge is quite deep, as she say all e chinese idioms to realli make me smile.. so much for studying..i like her style,, travelling ard e country instd of working seriously.
i came to sch late tat day.. n was almoz late for e quiz even. luckily susanto started e quiz real late,so i had time to panick during e paper.
i am real stressed abt my studies.. it does not help tat i keep on shifting places to live in coz loyang green house has too much dust n irritation from e painting. poor me, poor my dogs.. they no longer have e freedom they r so used to at our old house..

life goes on

2008-09-19T01:22:00.000-07:00

life in sch has been okie,i guess. travelling is not e most fun thing so far..but i guess i will live with it. in fact,it is actualli not so bad,n..somehow i find it easier to go to sch now tat i no longer live in sch. oh no,i am not making sense,which is y telling e truth can be so hard sometimes.
i am currentli living in changi gardens for a while due to some domestic issues at loyang green. e workers in loyang green pollute e air so much when they paint e house,i am so sure they did it on purpose.. carrots n melon seeds,i so dun like them. luckily,we have a spare area to live in,or else we may have to start renting. but no computer means no dota..sobz
not staying in hall also means no mahjong. which is sad coz my mj skills deterioriate so much. on e few occasions(once a week normalli) i still play,i no longer can read tiles well n gave away 2 unneccassary 5 folds. both by the single bamboo(pe-ling)! sianz la..
studying has been okie.,but e fear is alwas there. i love studying in e airport/..is so cool.. i even met chengxi there hu is actualli my classmate for 2 core modules. yes talk abt co-incidence.
yesterday a v cock thing happened while i travelled to sch. i fell asleep in e train..n woke up at outram park. it was onli till bugis which i realised e mrt was travelling e wrong way! can u imagine sleeping in e mrt from pasir ris to boon lay then to outram park. i got skill!
otherwise,life has been rather boring for me,so sorry for not having much blog updates. next week is my one week break,but i will be too busy catching up with sch work.

the ambush of the handphone

2008-08-18T01:13:00.000-07:00

last week,something v silly n amusing thing happened while i was in sch..i was studying cum reading harry potter in ntu when i decided to take a nap. as it was a sch holidays,there were v few pple ard,so i took a nap at e bench,leaving my things on e table while i slept on e bench. it is safe to do so,coz there r few pple in sch plus my handphone is so lousy n non functional at times. Or so i tot..
i woke up from my bench noeing tat my hp has been stolen right away. apparantli,during my sleep mu subconscious mind already felt someone near me all these while. i checked e table n true enuff,my hp is gone. I am not upset coz e phone is lousy,but i am still v stunned n amazed at how pple can risk their credibility to steal something so worthless.
I got myself a 6288,a v good nokia phone,n i am real happy. To any pple reading this,pls let me noe ur hp number by smsing me at e same old number 81219481. i will gladly appreciate it.

i am getting fatter,n i hate it. but i wanna settle down with my fyp n my studies first. will take part more in physical activities soon.

Singapore's history of not having an olympic medal for 48 years came to an end this week,as our china born talents won us a silver in e table tennis event. i love e match against korea so much! feng tianwei was e heroine tat afternoon as a v hard fight was fought btw e 2 teams for 3.5 hours! i love e korean's defensive style of playing table tennis as it is rare,n i think requires more skill.e choppers realli place doubts in our players' rankings, but truth is,our sg players were merely been countered in style n tactics.onli feng tianwei's(our rising star along with tao li) saved e day. But credit to li jia wei too. she lost her match to kim kyung ah again!but yet she merely kept her cool n stayed focus to win Kim again in e doubles by trusting her partner Wang Yuegu to win Kim n her partner together. This is wat i call true sports team spirit, it's never abt individualism. Sadli,i think our tt team only gave their all in e semi finals against korea. against China, they played too relaxed n even smiled when they lost. I think this is disturbing as they sort of gave up. Li Jiawei n Feng Tianwei won their opening matchs,but their lack of fighting spirit n been out played by skills realli showed. I wish Sg table tennis team had fought harder in e finals even though they will lose. What the pineapples.. when they losing by match point,i saw Wang yue gu even laugh at e timeout. is almoz as if our coach was already asking them which Beijing restaurant to go to n spend with their 750k. Li jiawei should noe v well which restaurant to eat..is her hometown after all. N..when they lost,they were celebrating n waving at e fans as happily as e china(play for china one) players..Man..where is e sports spirit n e will to win they showed in e semi finals? Orange juice,at least PRETEND TO BE UPSET abt not been able to get e gold lah..dun show us ur smiling faces so fast after a loss.. U r telling us tat we singaporeans r not cut out in e long run for e gold medal anyway. I totally agree with wat our PM said b4 e match,go all out for e victory!..not like this!
but i am overall happy abt them winning e silver..dun get me wrong..i support them,coz i am sure they r singaporeans at heart too. juz tat there is this side issue of them not realli aiming for e gold since they r already there, i wonder how they felt when e china national antheme was been played out for e victors during e prize ceremony.. maybe i dun wan to noe even..lol

IO settled

2008-07-22T05:38:00.000-07:00

2008-07-13T05:55:00.000-07:00

1) i was walking from redhill mrt to sdc hq,dun ask me y i walk n not take bus...n when i reached sdc,as i searched my bag for my camera,i realised tat my show bag has dropped not one but both jogging shoes...oh no...anyway,when i took a cab b,i found one! paid $4.80 for no reason..n then,as i continue walking b,i found e other one! yes! haha..anyway,went b n play mj e whole nite b4 reporting to construction site directly then go meet up with ken wenhua zhengrong n thiam hock for movie n cs..came home sick..
2)today juz b4 i went b sch(i juz reached sch) n still a bit sick,i was at boon lay mrt drawing money,not with my pen btw.. then an act of violence from a malay youngster. he was beating up this indian man at e entrance of e mrt! it was not a fight at all..it was juz pure dominance n ugly one sided fighting. think e malay guy was using silat to fight,coz his kicks were v smooth.. i was too stunned to react,which was actualli e wisest thing to do, but i think i would actualli have intervened,e thought itself was scary.

2008-07-07T07:44:00.000-07:00

last yr,at this point of time i was in france,n being my bday,0607,i had e luxury to spend my bday in paris! still can remember e surprise in INT when i step into e french class n to be greeted happy bday by my singaporean friends hu actualli took note of it from e class list! needless to say,everyone in e exchange programme soon knew abt it...n i will remember my international friends too giving me chocolates n cookies..sweet vanessa king n gang were not merciful either,whereby they had to interrupt e french class to sing bday song to me,n on top of tat, to prove their sincerity,they at e lobby also had to sing once more for me..man,those americans..i miss those babes..
ok,ok enuff of france..i missing my homeland already.. anyway, this yr bday was also shocking,..n to think i planned to spend it in a rather homely way..morning usual farm outings with my parents,spare myself from gym for tat day,have a few casual mj games with my hall friends..simple n peaceful bday right?
actualli,everything did went to plan..playing mj in hall,n was impressed by my mj kakis...they have improved so much! n i was struggling to keep up with them..oh yeah! then in e evening whereby my mj session with audrey,chee hen n shawn was interrupted by e offing of lights.n to think i still did not realise it n was a little annoyed at hu will actualli play such a prank on us..n then i c jim,wood n nat coming in with e chocolate cheese cake,then i realise wat was happening.omg was e onli reaction tat came out of me. apparantly those playing mj with me also were not kept in e dark n i was e onli idiot hu onli noe how to say "erm,thanxs huh,guys..not even my normal lame"kai kai xin xin n shy shy" phrases...
anyway,they realli made my day,esp when i was a little disapointed over some issues earlier this week,but these pple realli cheered me up..kai kai xin xin!thxs guys,i will remember this..

yesterday i played golf! wohoo! but i think i exerted the wrong muscles,because i never feel any muscle ache at all. Sunny taught me e basics..n i was aiming to hit the 75 mark...but when i saw sunny hit the first shot,i laughed and laughed...he wacked all e way past e 200 mark...oh man..his balls realli flew,n he can hit e ball,speak to me a sentence,n e ball has not landed yet..
anyway,golf is not for me..but i am rather excited for next week's 9pm show-beach babes! yeah man,get to c pple in volleyball action.......

last weekend got an exhibition of comic n cartoon characters..is an anime event n my brother would have love it..too bad he in australia..last week was a week i cannot forgot,also coz in work site,i had a heated arguement with one of e indian drivers,but guess it is resolved rite now..i am still shocked i behaved so gangster like tat day,coz of my soft spoken n above average benevolent nature..but i guess,been in construction industry,one can never been too soft,n i learn it e natural process.
tml is my bdae,n i think it is real meaningful tat i am spending it with my parents as usual going to farms n walking e dogs in nature reserves..no joke okie..from vivo city walk all e way to horte park..is real far..even my dogs will be exhausted..lol..

Euro blues

2008-06-18T18:18:00.000-07:00

France is out of Euro 2008. rather sad, n disapointed too. Had France won or maybe draw the last match against Italy, I would not be so sore even if they did not qualify,because i noe tat luck plays a part too,esp when one enters into the group of death. but they totally could not perform at all, n their over reliance on zidane shows greatly. The draw with Romania is the worst, the loss to Holland was honestly acceptable, the last match was juz pure heart wrenching.....
I muz support France even more! all e way,through good or bad times. It is juz so sad tat e team i juz starting to support starts playing badly the moment i support them.. Zidane,i miss u..
Gone is e presence of the french presence in e euro2008,n with my money along...all down e drain..

mrt

2008-06-12T08:22:00.000-07:00

was taking mrt b home from raffles place after gym n work..then...an idiot in my compartment press e emergency button n ran out of e mrt! i saw him ran out,but did not realise he pressed e button till later.. then e mrt driver announced on e mike..dear passengers,pls stay away from e door,may i noe hu press the emergency button? No response from anyone.. then e driver asked...to e person hu press the emergency button,is there anything wrong u wish to highlight?
e driver asked in real good english,which made it more amusing.. then e pple at my compartment who were nearer to e culprit said to e microphone..he left already,he pressed n ran off.. then e driver asked randomly abt e rear compartment whether they r fine...then someone went to my compartment to check e button,then the mrt procceed on b home..wat an idiot tat culprit was..
anyway,talking abt work,i had a interesting work experience yesterday. me n Mr Peh the contractor supervisor went to supervise on this cleaner who was cleaning e windows on e outside..hence he had to glide outside e windows using those hanging ropes.. while we in e building pointing to all e dirty spots of e windows..all these while,we were onli seperated by e window... e malay cleaner was not happy at e late stages as he argued with Mr Peh on some parts tat Peh insist he muz clean..
gym wise,i have not been making much progress in e tummy area.. muscles starting to appear,but my goal has alwas been abt losing weight,not increasing mass!

2008-06-05T07:47:00.000-07:00

y is it tat even when i study so hard,i still cannot even pass my subjects... y is it when even got pple hu r doing IA come all e way b to ntu to teach n guide me,i can still fail e subject. y is it tat a subject which pple say is easy,n i think i understand most of wat is going on,n i can still fail e subject..i realli dun understand... i am an ntu doom case failure,n maybe i realli should have juz gone to poly, n start work after tat...rather than all e unhappiness n fustration i am facing for all these while.. dun study,fail nvm,now study like mad,n i still fail.. sianz lah!
i dun care already,next sem,if things still go on like this,i juz wanna quit sch.

california update

2008-05-29T18:06:00.001-07:00

man,i can wear a pair of jeans tat i could not wear 2 weeks ago! fit easily somemore...anyway,i saw tingli last nite in california,so surprising.. man she also have put on weight n look more like mother liao.. but anyway,she gonna slim down for sure.. but she told me something shocking...she onli pays $38 a month for coorporate membership tat allows her access to all gyms at all times..man..her company ernest n young too nice liao.. i so sad,no such deals..
speaking of which,i am considering upgrading to orchard's california fitness club instead. orchard n raffles realli a lot of difference.. raffles is like e lowest class one,n is for working pple,n e atmosphere there is somehow more focused. there r too many reasons y i should upgrade... firstly,e instructors n staff there r more approachable n more presentable too.most of raffles's staff sucks,esp AJ n their singh manager..they realli should not be working in such a branded company n diminish e name.. 2ndly,e location of orchard is superb. when i run on e threadmill,i c working towers...in orchard,u get to c shopping centers n pple dressed in all manners n walking in all styles as well. 3rdly,e classes there more happening..for e time being at least.. i went to combat fitness class for orchard n raffles,n e pple in orchard combat fitness club realli shouts while working out! man, super awesome..i over there,i super high one. box n punch,box n punch!
but.... orchard is like 60% more in pricing..man..help wat should i do!

2008-05-25T07:07:00.000-07:00

haha hi guys,once again i have yet to update my blog often..it started during e exam periods.. was struggling through,but thanxs to alvin n penghoe,i stand a better chance this time..but i am so stressed...wat if i fail them man.. anyway it is over.. i have to accept watever results.. man,i juz am not academically inclined..
exams over,n guess wat,i went to genting yet again! n it is with jiayi,one person onli..n e funny thing is..b4 e trip,i hardly noe him even..but...gamblers unite! with a common goal,we will alwas find a way to meet up with fate.. alas,this is e first time i lost in a casino.. lost 690 ringit.. real pissed off with myself actualli..not coz of e loss of e 600 ringit,but rather e extra 90 ringit which was totalli off my budget..but overall still satisfied.. my roulette exploits still undefeated..juz tat this time i gambled too heavily on three pictures n three card poker..was fun though.. i lost 200 ringit in pontoon,but was without much regrets,..in fact enjoyed tat moment too,for an old man was controlling all our actions...we juz watch tat expert make e decisions for us.. but still lose... welll it was luck.. jiayi gambled real heavily man.. totalli culture shock.. he lost 3 plus k ringit in e end..
well,anyway,my poor luck continued in singapore one more time when i lost in mj while playing 3-6..lost abt 90 plus.. haiz..but i played well,at least for my standards..so it is okie..
peiling...i realise how great a lucky charm u r to me..juz tat i cannot bear to use our friendship this way..everytime i call her n get her to wish me luck b4 any poker,mj or casino session,i will either win a lot,or lose negligibly.. then after exams whereby i could not bear to exploit our friendship..my luck go real down.. haiz.. gonna call her next time..i dun care,she is my peling(one bamboo in mj terms)
doing internship in sembcorp was ok so far.. doing office work for 3 weeks first b4 moving on to site investigation..juz finished my 2nd week of IO already
e most exciting thing for me is signing up for california fitness program. was inspired to lose weight coz of (cough) (cough)..oh where was i, n also coz juz finsihed watching e drama mvp qing ren again.. n felt so inferior to be so weak.. my fats overwhelm any muscles i have,n i am so bouncy.. but nvm i join already,n am determined... but so far 1 week of consistent training...n no weight loss so far leh..i guess it takes time..now is muscle development first..n transforming as much fats to muscles first..
today,sunday was real eventful. morning i went out with my family to visit farms n watch e grand canyon in e omnitheatre(have been going out with my parents to visit farms recently).then went to gym to exercise..but today rather slack,coz intensive traning starts on tues again..sunday n monday is juz abt slacking in gym n bathing to make full use of my membership. i dun like suanas..so i muz make up for it in other areas,like taking towels..erm typo error,i mean taking tower views.. anyway then after gym,i walked ard clarke quay at 6pm..n realised there was this french performance at e river coming up at 8pm. e idea is uiet novel,so i stayed on till 8 to watch it..it was not bad..but wat is more interesting e pple i meet..i was sleeping at e riverside waiting for e performance,when my leg crammed,so i had to struggle to get up..n to realise tat e couple standing juz beside me is....shawn n pheboe! talk abt fate n coincidence.. they were rather loving to each other n i had to be invisible,which was hard considering my size..(another reason to lose weight!). then on e way b to pasir ris, this china tourist lady chat me up n ask me abt how i feel abt e french performance..firstly,my chinese is horrendous..2ndly,i am not used to talking to strangers..n so it was hard talking to her..at tat time i wished i had wood's skill in talking to strangers like they r soul mates..
well anyway,tat is all e updates so far.. i went to kl last week alone,but nuthing great happened there,n i saved a lot of money coz i take malaysian public transport n slept in sungnei wang complex center starbucks area. tml got work again..muz dress nice nice.. aiyo

Purity Peng Hu--Chan Meng Chuen Raymond

2008-03-27T22:11:00.000-07:00

yah i did e qing yi se peng hu,was waiting for 3,6,9 bamboos somemore...usualli when a special has been done in my presence,it will be written with happiness n excitement no matter hu does it..However this time, this will not be too happy an announcement coz i did it in my testimonial match for i wun be playing mahjong for a long time... i need to atone for my mistakes for allowing my mj set to be confiscated..n i realli treasure e tiles a lot..man..
earlier in e morning,e hall office lady serene caught my friend sleeping in e lounge n was noted he was not a hall resident. so they came to my room to question him further..i at tat point of time ,did not think of e mj set n hide other things which were in my room which,let's put it this way, if seen by e hall office,i will be evicted..so e mj set still lie one table so exposed,been half open somemore..great..of coz they confiscated it,despite pleas for a 2nd chance. Great,n to think tat last yr,we got caught somemore..n tat ttime was not our tiles.. they then continued to question my friend further n warned him not to stay in e hall anymore...e sick thing was they wanted to take my table as well,which almoz got me tilted n i would have lost my temper.but lucky they b out.
haiz,sorry tiles.. sianz lah.. on a more funny note,it was amusing how i tried to drive off e hall office ladies from entering e room to hide e things.. i took out my shirt n c them,then act shy n close e door again..lol..so funny!
so yah,i will ban myself from playing mj from now on till i get b my tiles,xcept for tat one game with alvin's friends maybe,coz i promised already..but otherwise..it's fasting time! yeah baby! i am so glad actualli tat i did something special in mahjong last nite while playing with alvin roy n brian.. talk abt testimonies!
anyway i my as well also describe some of e pics below. e fashion show was evidence abt how intense i was studying in city hall over e weekends. my dogs..well they r self explainatory..juz look into their eyes to feel e story... e jade is wat i bought for my mum,n it became my mum's favourite jade coz of e jungle colour,e slippers is my current slippers now.

the mahjong cockster-for now onli

2008-03-21T23:01:00.000-07:00

i did a very silly thing tat day while playing mahjong. lucky we onli playing 20-40 cents.. but a silly mistake is a silly mistake,n i find it real funny so i muz publicize it. was playing a casual game of mj with iwan,bryan n johnathon. in fact,they woke me up n assumed i will play... anyway,in e opening match, i read tat bryan wanted the 1 of number for his half colours. iwan as usual,alwas making big,n was almost complete. bryan on e other hand,onli have a fold from the pong of e east wind,so i tot he onli can game for 3 folds. so,i decided to throw the 1 number to intentionalli give bryan the win. n true enuff,he gamed...n i as usual like how after i alwas feed to the 1 tai player when there r pple with a lot of flowers,i gave tat "i knew it" poise...
...onli to realise bryan was 5 folds! he was doing pong pong half colour.. man wat a noob i am.. lol..haiz.. i played well for e remaining round n gamed lots of 3 folds to still win $17, but such a mistake make me feel real silly,n e whole table was laughing at me throughout e whole game..yes,all 4,coz even i cannot stand myself for not realising it is 5 folds,despite visualising his hand already.
I aimed to make onli a mistake in 10 complete games. Onli then can i upgrade from 3-6 to play bigger stakes in mahjong. one day,one day..i will be a mahjong warrior..
but for now,i better get my basics rite. pong pong half colour is 4 folds extra,not 2... 2+2=4.until i can master this simple formula,then should i go visualising other pple's tiles.

going on a weekday proves to be more beneficial as we get to sit on more luxurious bus seats with videos n games, free hotel room n for e same price!i watched dumbo-one of my first few cartoons i watch,plus elephant is my favourite animal. on e way b,i watched a chinese comedy which is actualli quite meaningful.it is abt this girl hu is paid by this guy to act bad in front of his conservative parents,so as to allow e original gf to look better..but yet despite all e stuns she pulled,e family liked her a lot n e original gf cannot fit in at all despite trying to be good.it is meaningful,coz it realli shows tat ultimateli,it is ur true character n intentions tat matters n pple can sense it in u in e long run.
we did not eat lunch n ate a international buffet dinner at coffee terrace. n i love it totalli,as i like chinese food a lot. plus,i like e service n e variety. i will definateli go there again. e after effects was not good though. at e casino,i could not gamble at once as i felt unwell in my stomache.. alvin audrey n freddie meanwhile were testing audrey's theory in Big Small game.
e next day,we went to kl. to go kl at this point of time,u have got to be either v bold or ignorant to risk encountering any riots during one of e most competitive n intense political elections in e history of malaysia. but here,we r talking abt freddie n alvin here,n i wun be too sure hu will be more rash,e rioters or us. we woke up later than planned of coz,given our slackness n late night at e casino. hence we missed our 2pm bus to kl n had to wait for e 3pm bus. e cable car ride was great though. we were silly enuff to play cards along e way. man,i am so glad we missed e 2pm bus,coz we get to eat our free "buffet" lunch at a big snacks store offering lots of free samples everywhere. i chionged e strawberry pulps,it been e most expensive n sweetest snack there. song bo! but i got buy a few things hor..dun say i free rider.
anyway,we missed e 3pm bus as well,as we played cards till we did not reach there b4 e bus left. to top up e mishaps,i lost my mineral water bottle juz by leaving it unattended for onli 5 mins..i hoped it is e monkeys hu took them,coz they r realli cute,esp when they were eating e cheese crackers..u can c how they take e food..2 hands for 1 cracker each,n 1 leg also grabbed another cracker..real funny gluttons
we finally reached kl n we went shopping a while.i bought 2 jades for my mum.we ate at e roadside stalls,v familiar to me as i got pickpocketed of my hp in my childhood days over there.my mum kept on nagging while eating e delicious food then,something abt me been such an easy target to thieves n evil.hence as i ate there, i was v emotional n somehow v happy thinking of my childhood life. food was of coz great n nice.
we then went to chinatown,n i was rather uneasy there,coz it used to be dominated by chinese sellers hu were rude n aggressive.my on guard instincts also came out of me which i developed while in dangerous france n italy.but my worries were unfound as it is no longer so aggressive,xcept for an arguement nearby btw an indian seller n an indian worker as we walked by.(malaysia's chinatown is now full of malay n indian sellers coz of some ruling) audrey,freddie n me went for a massage too. audrey as usual,been so high class,insisted on e 30 rm massage instd of e 20 rm massage juz next door. oh... n yes...she agreeded to e massage on our behalf too....wat am i suppose to say man.. anyway,we did not go zouk coz it was not practical economicalli. a good thing,coz actualli i needed to reach hotel asap to put my jade in a safer place.
casino experiences wise(which was wat genting is all abt),i reached my target of 1k RM profits!(e last time i onli managed to win 550RM) with onli 450 RM capital somemore..yeah... kai kai xin xin! it was all done through roulette somemore.. i could have actualli won 1.5k RM,but i lost abt 400 RM to bacarratt n BIG SMALL.actualli,i enjoyed myself at tat time too,coz e 4 of us combined our bets to make up e minimum bet required...while pple were betting by e hundreds! rofl... it was a pity tat my friends did not win as well..or this trip would have been ownage.
ok attached will be few pics of our scandals,oh i mean happenings. some pics will not be showned to avoid misunderstanding.

Cocoa has pawned big fish for 225 gold. Assist: Copi

2008-02-25T12:23:00.000-08:00

my dad brought cocoa n copi to e river at pasir ris park e other day,n they were playing ard e river. they muz have scared a fish n e big fish(length-keyboard size) jumped out of e mud n ended up struggling at e river bank..cocoa,been our diver n having played at tat river for long knew something was amiss n immediateli spotted e jumping fish.. copi of coz came along n both dogs barked.. my dad took a plastic bag n took it home..curry fish head was good! u should have seen cocoa n copi's behaviour on e way b man... both for once so cooperative n with juz e objective to go home with e fish.. of coz they keep on looking at e fish n ensure e fish is still inside e plastic bag,though it was pretty obvious as e fish was still moving.. cocoa n copi both walked with their heads held real high..so proud of themselves...
along e way my dad met a few malays hu were fishing... n they were like wtf...they use nets to try to catch fish for so many hours,n yet cannot get such a huge fish,while my dad juz picked it up from e river.. they later walked round e river banks trying to find more fish.. talk abt luck...

sianz..my bro is going to australia liao.. i v emo liao.. i am leaving on a jet plane.. haiz.. anyway,i am also v happy for him..i been to france for a month n i noe how e feeling is like.. i onli wurry he will love e place so much tat he will not wan to return b to e island of stress.. cocoa n copi will definateli miss him, they will be thinking where is e young master hu alwas comes b so late at nite n yet feed them when they r not suppose to eat.. i wun be surprised if in time,cocoa will be sulking...cocoa is v emotional one..
i think of all e times i take my bro for granted...how he alwas help me e computer idiot with software stuffs..i feel real sianz now..n now.. tonite at 11pm,he will be flying off,n our computer will onli be used by me..no more taking turns..i will have full access...
go Richard, go Rich!

anyway great,my poker losing streak has juz increased to 370.. n i played 3 man mahjong after tat..lost a further 26 bucks.. for once mj did not cover me up..n i guess it is wrong to alwas rely on mj to cover my losses...if i wanna learn poker,i better learn to be reliant n start winning.. i think i am too conservative,which is y i alwas get bidded out..
on a brighter side,i actualli won a consistent i-chess player in i-chess! tat player played for ISG n IHG so many times n win competitions somemore! i not going to mention e name,coz i think he still feeling sore abt it,but he admitted he learned new moves n tactics from e game.. i felt so happy,coz i noe i invented those moves on e spot,with time clicking somemore.. i played an offensive i-chess with him,coz i noe tat by prolonging e game n been defensive,eventualli experience n knowledge will overwelm me.. so i exposed out my queen,rooks n knights to e e opposition half,n sacrificed my pawns to open up faster...my opponent could not take e fire n was totalli unprepared for it! think i muz credit e game to my dota experiences..i was pushing! coz if i failed,e game would have been lost.

i feel so happy for my bro..while here i am playing games,he will be flying off tonite to australia to study games.. wat a difference.. same background,different lifestyle n different destiny.. while i am e Omni-poker, he will be e professional gamer!

cny was ok i guess.. collected 300 dollars of hong bao in total,but all had to be put in bank,coz my mum keep on 'requesting" for them to be in bank..
edwin is real impressive n showed us how to arrange e cube in less than 30 seconds! imagine e cube which is shown in pursuit of happiness...it is so difficult to solve it,n yet pple here r solving it n talking abt time.. 28 seconds...oh man... e record is still 22 seconds so far. n he is onli in secondary sch.. edmund also super cute..he is realli like our home's copi... adorable n simple fun loving.. e rest of e kids..man some of them have realli grown...from my mum's side, onli carol , me n anthony noe how to play mj,so cannot play. from my father's side, there r too many potential mj players, n naturalli been adults, they get top pirioty.. n they onli play 20-40 cents.....
but it was still fun watching them play n been e dealer for black jack,playing against e kids..MAXIMUM BET-$0.40! as dealer i imposed tat rule... lol.. i think i created a good impression by imposing of tat rule,but wat they did not realise is tat i impose tat rule onli coz i noe i am more likely to win them by been more experienced in gambling.. rofl..
won $2 tat time.. n it could have been more,except for e last round which i allowed maximum bets of $1, which i did not have a favourable hand.
went to audrey's friend's house with freddie as well. e nite b4 we were at audrey house as well playing big small n mj.. at her house, we played 4 cards combo,blackjack n mahjong. i enjoyed myself a lot there,as it has been a long time since i visit such a huge gathering..i like one part of e 4 card combo,whereby i was betting $2 consistently.. then at tat point of time..e show e unbeatables started showing.. n i got inspired n doubled my bets. won e next 2 rounds! additional money won,juz coz of e unbeatables song inspiring me.. although it is onli additional $4..but i like such processes..
mj process is even more funny.. freddie realli humoured me tat day,if not a little embarrassed too.. first he come in ,so nicely dressed n friendli..friendli freddie had to break a glass while greeting e uncles n aunties so enthusiaticalli..wat a start. then later ,not surprisingli,he go round e house trying to find pple for mahjong... n he found this auntie hu is known for playing mahjong..n me n freddie noe v well...(coz audrey has been mentioning abt how she got thrased by this pro e previous cny). e auntie at first agreeded.....then....freddie go n say something like...i noe u "tai" audrey in mj ;last time,do u still remember? ....man..dun say audrey lah..even i so pai seh..n out of politeness, i make a conscious effort to show it,while audrey realli super pai seh.. it was like...audrey bring both of us for blood n revenge like tat...aiyo... outings with wood,freddie n audrey never ceased to be interesting man... e last time in MOS incident, it was with them also btw..blush
nevertheless,i think it could have been a coincidence tat the auntie went on to find other pple to play instd,despute with smaller stakes, n told freddie..sorri we enuff pple liao..we here all ladies..man not invited... haiz...
we managed to find others to play with us eventualli though..but with v small tiles, n without chips..so we had to give out e cash on e spot! a v funny incident was whereby in e v last round n game of mj tat day, i was almoz waiting already n was suppose to throw out e 4 of buttons(b4 tat,e lady b4 me threw 2 3 of buttons at one time already)..instd,coz i did not look at my tiles,i threw the 7 of buttons! n i did not realise it till i looked at my tiles...i look at my 9 n 8 of buttons.. n wondered how it was suppose to link with my 4 of buttons...b4 realising wat happened.. naturalli moz pple will throw outr e 4 of buttons since two 3 of buttons came rite? n hope to chow the 7 of buttons again..but at tat point of time,i believe there muz be a reason y i make tat mistake..n reconstruct..n funnily enuff,i drawed the 2 of buttons! not e 5 of button but the 2 of buttons... is like ..great...thanxs a lot huh..but a v funny thing happened.. e lady for e 3rd time threw out e 3 of buttons for me to eat! with uncontrolled estactic glee, i chow it n throw out e 9 of button,waiting for 5 n 8 of number which i am suppose to wait for 2 rounds ago.. n e funnny thing is... 5 n 8 of number never came out yet,so i was not affected or punished by my mistake...(hu noes..maybe someone would have needed my 4 of button) i eventualli won with e 8 of number which was thrown by e lovely lady again for one fold! man..it was so funny how i could recover from such a silly mistake,n it is so nice to have sweet girls throwing out tiles so sincereli by doing it 3 times at a go..too bad e girl is e gf of e host,if not i would have....oh ...come to think of it,i would also have still humji..blush

yap,u can guess wat i mean from e tittle..i have been losing in poker... so far,i have lost 190 dollars in poker,juz started out,so most of e time got outclassed. alvin n his friend wins me in tournament poker consistentli, with them reading me so well,coz they noe i play by e book..
also,juz recently,i went to daniel's house n played cash poker n lost 42 dollars... but i am v pleased with myself coz i think i played well given my limited experiences n also by e fact tat when i was losing 90 dollars, i stayed totally calm n not affected at all.. all e players agreeded tat i was e most unlucky player tat day with me losing out in three double pairs narrowli.. totalli unexpected n trap hands..
nvm i will consistentli learn more.. poker is fun.. n it is worth learning.. to even attempt to read pple by their cards is an experience tat can onli be felt by playing such psychological games.
poker is much more skill based than mahjong,so no excuses with myself for losing so consistently. but i muz perservere..

Genting-the land of sin

2008-01-07T12:16:00.000-08:00

Christmas n new year was fun..enjoyed myself a lot going out,going for spins, or chilling out. it is at this time tat i played bridge n rugby for hall 16 too,hall 9 won ihg bridge,hence sadli,hall 16 is not going to have a gold medal for the this 2 yrs. rugby was fun too,but so long not playing has taken a toll on me,but my team is real powerful with many club n ex jc players..went to quaterfinals.
went Genting with my orc buddies to gamble too. aimed for 1k ringit as profits,n i did had e chance to reach it,except for a real bad start n rash betting at e end. i had a real bad start in bacaratt with a win,lose,draw,lose,lose,lose,lose,lose,lose,lose streak.. real power.. after losing about 1/3 of my capital in just e first 10 mins, i had to back out n play roulette which is something which has not let me down so far.. i had to play passiveli due to loss of my capital. xu yang at this time was already winning greatli n had a 600 ringit profit already..wei hong also had 500 ringit profit.
3 hours later,i had 115 ringit profit already.. took a rest n we had dinner.. bak ku teh n vinegar pork trotters were great. e orcs did not realli like e trotters though,coz it was too sweet,but me juz love it! rofl
2nd round of roulette was a real hit.. started winning another set of 600 ringit.. wei hong by then break even.. it was funny to c my table like a soccer field with few chips while e table behind me was like hdb flats..realli so high n so much chips.. n there was once e counter had to put on a number with lots of chips on it! real high n for once e casino lost big in tat round.
can tell wei hong dammned sianz abt losing his profits. xu yang of coz happy n satisfied. kenneth ,to give him credit realli watched us gamble n juz gave us moral support.
anyway,my rash bets later make me onli win 200 ringit in e 2nd round.. sianz man.. later i took a break n juz walked ard e bacaratt n put 25 ringit chips whenever they call for last bets..is fun n m,ore relaxing too, n is realli like farming! lol..
i realli treasure my brotherhood with e orcs.. i think affinity counts n till now,i am still amazed tat we started out with no links to one another..
ok tat was no link..paiseh..anyway, with e neglible 300 ringit, i spend a little on a toy electronic dog (which scares e daylight out of cocoa n copi when i returned home) n titbits n honey.

2007-12-18T07:59:00.000-08:00

golden harvest this yr was e worst gh i ever had... is not juz abt results..is e process...n i alwas look at process more than results..which make me feel sorrowful n disgusted.. i guess quareels do happen..but when it is done irrationalli, it realli makes things v bad..n wounds get hurt more than they should..
i am realli disgusted.. i dun think i can touch cards for some time..at least not in such a way...i have been thinking.. thinking a lot.. n i think i have come to a conculsion.. it seems logical n rite..
anyway gh was not too bad actualli... getting to noe e rjc pple were fun..they r talented n fun loving.. wish i could turn b time too..
while i was licking my wounds e past 2 weeks... i did not exactli lie down on my bed n juz ponder moz of e time with tiger can beers all over e room.. tat onli happens in asian dramas.. i juz play itunes n think abt a lot of things.. n i did go out,, did play bball,did go out.. n go chalet too
i realise how impt my friends r.. is times like this whereby going out with them improves ur mood..i had worse times too.. and alwas going out or playing mj or doing nonsense does helps.. esp going for e chalet n meeting e orcs after so long.. silently so happy..coz we orcs have sort of strayed.. after not meeting for so long..n yet onli to realise..i am e onli one hu feel this way..maybe i am been too sensitive.. but my isolation policy is going down hill,,no..i think i am not been too sensitive... e fact tat i dare post this up shows...i even noe they wun realli read this...
ok sorri i guess i am been too emo rite now.. i still cannot handle e noob plays by myself,n e horrendous miscoms...
maybe this is for e better..realli.. but i should convert from bridge to poker..at least if i am ok,i can earn some money out of it. with IR coming up n singaporeans been so conservative,there is a market to be earned here..
our hall bball team doing badli certainli did not help.. realli humiliation.. worse than last yr..ironicalli this yr we trained more..i think it muz be e colour of our jersey..i noe wearing dark colours also make things worse..

MOS noob

2007-12-04T16:31:00.000-08:00

fri nite,went to hang out at clarke quay area n went to MOS to spend e nite there.. my first time going there n was realli a noob...NOOB NOOB NOOB! i was supposed to wait for audrey n freddie to come b n they will transfer e stamp from their hands to my hand so tat i can cheat by going in... but there was confusion as audrey transfer to me e bad one on e left hand, n so freddie transfer his to my right hand..
i went in n e security checked for e ink entry.. n i put up e wrong hand... got caught n given a real stern warning n forced to buy e ticket. i did not even have cash for e ticket but i tot mos should accept nets.. NO they dun.. no money,forced to buy a ticket n i was not in e most comfortable position i gues,, though i keep on smiling to calm myself down.. smiling n grinning like a fool.. freddie n audrey were observing e situation i guess, n freddie quickly passed me e 50 bucks when e security was distracted for a moment. i hence got in, but felt a little like a fool.
nonetheless i did not enjoy myself as much as i should there,n audrey n freddie were trying to perk me up n literalli shake me up,but to no avail.. but there were no regrets as i get to explore MOS for e 1st time n MOs is actualli not a bad place.. many different kind of music n types of pple in diff. dressing.
talk abt personal ethics.. i guess wat i did was wrong in terms of professional ethics.. but nonetheless, having juz studied engineers n society,i guess tat was harmless as long as noone gets hurt in e process. i juz muz b more careful n dun get caught again.
next day went to scba to play bridge n take a look at my young teammates.. lol this yr gh is confirm play for fun already. dun talk abt others...but i make fundamental mistakes many times though. there was this brilliant moment though where by i psyche 1h with void heart n opps miss a 5-5 fit in hearts n played 3nt -3... i had 7 carded spades...jason taught me a few insights i never tot of b4 n was glad to hear them
next week is preparation for ihg bball.. my hall is real onz lah.. they training everyday,n i will take this chance to slim down myself. after 2 days of training,my arms n legs r acheing already from jumping n shooting..lol
oh btw, i got to play mj with dickgusting yesterday. was fun,though i lost 10 bucks. actualli glad dickgusting won coz pple hu come my room for e first time alwas lose by at least 20 bucks..i repsect dickgusting for his dota skills in ntu bnet,esp when he use necromanian..so scary..

man..this has got to be e moz interesting supper i had for a long time. audrey,freddie ,wood n i went to holland v for supper..ate a lot as i ate dinner at 5pm. was superb hungry n gobbled e lobster lunigi,mudpie which i shared with suan n a ice rambutan..real power.. on e way b, we saw some "angels" in holland v walking ard trying to promote something. talk abt coincidence,e angel hu agreeded to take pic with us turned out be an acquaintance of freddie.
crazy pple,instd of going b,audrey drove us to chinatown to eat porridge at my favourite place in chinatown. was funny coz there was this auntie hu tried to ask for donations from us. seems credible so i donated $2. but after tat,she went on to try to chat us up n encourage us to buy her books n participate in her event.. poor freddie,he came b n had to stand up. we hint to her many times tat we not interested,but somehow i think she dun get e hint. v funny..
e ultimate was this... when e food came,she still dun wanna leave,then in e end we have to hint to her tat food is here..then wood, as usual ever so sweet n polite,asked her if she wants to join us..at this point of time,dun u agree tat it was juz a polite gesture..but no!! e auntie power up one..not ur average sporean shy shy one.. she took our offer! i was shocked..but refrained from showing..so we ate n freddie had to take another chair. wood v nice,even buy her hot tea for her since she coughing. along e way,she "suan" us with her comments,not comments i wanna thumbs up.. she say we look v mature lah...then also,when she "suan' audrey abt her name as cpf,i realli had to move aside to laugh..but still,i enjoyed e frog porridge a lot.
when we finished,we said good bye to her,she still v insistent on getting our emails..haha funny kind social worker indeed. drove b to hall n played mj till 730am.. almoz did a 13 wonders! haha..won $10 bucks of chips in e end but never collect,then eat breakfast..wat a night!
Overall comsumption--lobster lugini,ice rambutan,half a mudpie,one bowl of frog porridge,tea,milo,bread n eggs...

woke up at 9am n to do last min preparation for e power point slides for e presentation. then richard n i rushed to city hall to photocopy e survey forms n get mroe gaming money n tokens for later....we also went to get presents for later..was kind of fun,if it was not rushed..then we went to eat koshimbo..yes so rushed n we still go eat buffet..coz they had this offer tat states tat eating for less than an hour will give u discount to 20 bucks onli..
did not realli enjoy e meal..e food was bad n they r more stingy abt their variety of food.. koshimbo has become so commercialised..still can remember e first time i go there, e food was realli great n my favourite were e cooked octapus in red sauce,which i gobbled lots n lots....now sadli,the variety is mostly e same but juz in different styles..
ate a little n yet did not feel well in e stomache later.. a good reminder tat sleeping well is impt for feeling good. anyway we rushed a cab to greenvale sec sch..n e cab came pretty fast.. e cab driver did not noe how to use e gps in his cab,n my brother had to teach e cab driver how to use it! richard is trueli a wonder..
aniway reach greenvale juz on time to present,n i was giddy.. as mentioned earlier,i went to e toilet to vommit n after tat felt well already. e presentation was smooth,xcept for one thing...due to miscom..we did not use e powerpoint slides n i had to give an impromtu presentation!! things went well n ok though..n e kids,while a bit rowdy sometimes,r well behaved generalli..
we later split them into 3 groups to play e game. they realli played e game with such ferocity,man i feel so proud to have played a part in designing ICE. during e game, gabriel was moz pleased with thsi group whereby they were more quiet, n yet silent n deadli in their negotiations n actions.. they completed e game e earliest n it was a close fight.. my side was chaos..it became a market place n everyone bargained n swapped their resources cards many times..so much transactions,no law n order..it was real nonsense.. but they enjoyed themselves too n they learn much too.. richard's group was like e average of gabriel's group n my group.. more quiet than mine,but yet much commotions too..
well,e game showed different styles of playing..n yet with e same mechanics n objectives n resources. but we were all happy in e end..coz things turned out well,n our game is doing fine! n we realli mean fine ,fine great!
anyway KGS earned our first bucks today.. e previous exhibitions n sch presentations, we did it for free,but now slowly,we r farming up!
ok will post those pics of today teachings soon.. KGS ,way to go! i gonan study liao..this freddie is a funny animal..ask him come my room study,he end up sleeping rite from e moment he entered! now still asleep on alex's bed..i gonna wake him up nowl.

2007-11-04T06:39:00.000-08:00

today,copi realli amazed e whole crowd in pet movers with his agility n energetic movements. as usual he played with e big dogs n out paced them easily with his sleek movements.. but today he did somethin extraordinary.. while playing with a malamut(somehow shiba inus dun noe how to feel inferior to big dogs), he out wit him n run under his legs n b4 the malamut get to turned b,copi jumped over e malamut..
show off... but then,..tat is so copi.. alwas showing off his physicall attributes like running ard pple n jumping over obstacles dogs cannot jump over..

cocoa dun feel angry n throw tantrums all right? we still love u as e "puching girl" hu can act cute n whine.. n u r still e diver and e sea hunter of our family..something copi cannot even stand which is water..

presentation CV4000

2007-10-30T04:56:00.000-07:00

man i am such an idiot..my presentation was at 130pm n i woke up at 128 pm! man..had to run n did not even notice e 4 miss calls by my group mates n 2 sms... somemore..my job for this presentation was onli to present,while my groupmates did e hard work of preparing e work. n i still cannot even come earli..
ran n reach there by 138..i c 2 of my project mates outside,..i guess they were trying to call me..n i realised how irresponsible i was.. but yet, they at first sight told me to calm down n said it was onli 5 mins late.. my presenting partner also smiled niceli n gave tat encouraging signal..
the presentation went fine, though personalli for me it was not as fine as e terrorism presentation,but guilt still shined upon me even during e presentation.. after e presentation,my group members hu played support this time even praised us for doing a v good presentation,n i was so happy to have such good teammates..
working with them has realli been a joy---joseph,jancen,guo xiang.. it realli showed how having supportive n rational groupmates help....my creativity n different style of working will not be able to shine if i have teammates hu onli criticize n r self centered. all of us have our weaknesses,like eg.i am sloppy ,my presenting partner cannot even speak english well n is a bit rigid... n yet with a group, we help each other out. this is y i play dota n i wished tat pple hu juz wanna own,be godlike n have superior items juz ofr tat 1.5 hours will quit e game..
anyway,look at e post earlier with pics of hall 16 pple..ironicalli n coincentalli, there were exactli 16 pple in e pics altogether..lol..

tactical change of plan

2007-10-29T10:02:00.000-07:00

played mahjong with lichang freddie n wood..was quite a fun game n end of day i onli won one dollar eighty cents after playing for so long..haha but one round was real fun..n i am proud of it,even though in e end it was onli 3 folds self touched.
i started with no flower n a few pairs tat are connected(eg.4 n 5 bamboo pairs..) n a few dragons and winds.. naturalli, i strived to make sequence for 4 folds without any flowers. it was obvious play n anyone on e table could tell i was aiming for tat.
i had better luck b4 n this time i took a flower..which is my own flower,somemore.. n ihave yet to collect any "chi' yet i decided to do pong pong.. esp since i have yet to chi n i have a few pairs which were originalli meant to be eaten..
well, i reached a stage whereby i have too many pairs n have to forgo one. e natural choice will be any of e pairs except the 5button pairs which will prove dangerous coz lichang above me was doing purity in buttons. but i felt a little more courageous tat day(peilin called me to say she was feeling luckier coz her mood is better then) n coz i noe keeping them will result in lichang also keeping the last 5 button which will endanger my pong pong chances of gaming. so i throw e 5 buttons n hope lichang dun eat any of them......
lichang wants them..n yes, it is both 5 buttons.. talk abt spectacular feeding...it is now do or die with my game..to win it at all cost b4 lichang games with a big 5 fold.. well,i self touced the 3 number for a nice game of 3 folds..wat is so nice is tat i started out with intentions of doing sequence,if not i would not have thrown my big tiles,which later trueli proved useless.. so it is realli specatacular if u notice e finer details..like how not having a flower helps in e pong pong or i would have kept e big tiles instd of e middle numbers which later turned out to be useful for pairs.. n also how e flower came in time for me to change plan n stop throwing anymore pairs..(i forsake the 5 button,whereby i draw in 2 more later on. n also e courage to throw e 2 5 buttons to atone for my mistake.. self touching was an additional bonus which proved to be almoz as beneficial as e sequence 4 folds which was my original plan
tat day we played mahjong till late b4 we went to play casual poker for a while.. while woody went to prepare a bit of food n cakes for us(so sweet of her), we took e chance to try out the 649 map n experiment with e invoker area...
her egg plant curry n the cakes were nice..n she made them herself.. anyway,tat day poker i was e onli winnner.. i think peiling's luck is more towards poker for now.. coz i alwas win by e last card!.. tat is how lucky..
haha still thinking of my changes.. including e one from sequence to pong pong.. makes me so joyful..

2007-10-27T15:15:00.000-07:00

i slept at 8am..n woke up by 1235pm ,woken up by lichang.. we need to go bishan asap by 130 so i quickli wash up,cancel lunch with woody n charged downstairs. to play with blue moon..with a scenario where we have nothing to fight for,neither here nor there,while blue moon need to trash us.despite been ultra sleepy from playing mahjong e whole night b4(2 rounds n lose $2),somehow did on my personal part.. i played a fool too,n bidded one heart with singleton heart! opps miss their slam in hearts n end up in a 3nt without a stopper in spades. funny thing is my 1h bid also caused my p to miss e spade lead to down their silly 3nt contract..3nt+4...
anyway in e end e results did not matter coz their competitors bozettos defeated nusB.
went to watch movie later w chiangfeng n joseph..stardust.. is realli quite a silly show,but i enjoyed it coz i was dozing in my mind..man..e girl expressed her love for e man in so many paragraphs...all juz to say e 3 words-i love u... this type of simplistic show i like,,no need to think n juz sit b n relac
went b n instd of studying,watch white chicks coz huiling say it is too nice to miss..find it ok onli though.. then play a game of dota.
e dota new recipes r silly,i think..i dun like them..they r making e strength heros n intel heros overpowered..i alwas like dota for e different roles in each heroes,...generalli, strength heroes r to tank n provide crucial stuns to take out oppoenents,agility heroes r to deal damage,stay alive n deal even more damage ,intel heroes r to provide e admin support n die for the team. i have alwas like this sacrificial element in e game,which i fear may be taken out with e increase of power of e intel heroes..now, tanking is not so impt too,as there r many items with armour n hp based attributes...
oh well dota is juz a game.. dun play loh..i like naix changes though..he is no longer juz a pure farmer,but he can weaken opponents with spells too in e early game..but they nerf him greatli in e late stage..but i think naix is more useful now..not juz a burden.
after e game,which i lost,coz i was half asleep n poorer support from teammates,i was abt to sleep,but find myself chatting with a friend till 6am.. crazy..dun need study man..

signz...wat is wrong with my sand king? totalli lost it last night n fed quite a lot. sk is never easy to use,but i alwas tot i have reached a certain level to use him well n interrogate opponents..last night i was feeding.. n rite under my own tower somemore..
somehow my teammates never blamed me but a potm instd..n i get wat they mean..i farmed against tat same player b4 n had a luxurious time.. but still..to die so many times n get caught..it was so unlike me..
i totalli lost e reaction of even e dagger.. but tat is probabli excusable coz my com in ntu lags n e mouse is horrendous..plus i juz woke up..
man..i am going to train back my SK when my exams end..
after tat game,i consoled myself by playing in a lower field of dota players n totalli owned them with my sniper.. lol..normal build of threads,mkb,butterfly n satanic,but did well coz had good tankers n they got lousy disablers. but i am still traumatised by the game earlier...

on another virtual world,i am doing well with 20k points in human pets. lol my fluff pets was doing well too,but i gave up coz it is too difficult feeding it consistently to maintain the 3k fps.. but human pets is another matter..real fun!n i discovered e fastest way to earn points n tat is thumbing..n man i realli thumbed!

Y my sand king play till so lousy? is it realli my com? haiz.. anyway exams is 3 weeks time.. better mug n dun end up in disasters again..

chair worth $500?

2007-10-20T14:48:00.000-07:00

facebook is fun.n now jedis can fight online..is a new thing. n even more fun there is this human pets whereby u can keep humans as virtual pets? lol...wicked sick..
my bro is realli hardcore in gaming,. nv, he gets razer mouse,razer mouse pad n z-board key board n such a fast computer with crazy sound speakers..he is not satisfied n today he went to get a chair for $420. are army guys like tat? i remember in my NS days, i live on e thrill of escaping army..not all on computer games. i love cs though..
my mum is e moz funny..after nagging so much abt cocoa copi,she turned good n wanted richard to buy e chair tat is $490 instead of the $260 one.. yes,,, is juz a chair!! super high class one though..i am sitting on it now.. my brother claimed it is his throne n not juz a chair.
anyway after bargaining for more than an hour,we got it for 420 with e lady obviously upset of e cut in commision..my mum is good in this...i never fails to blush when she bargains.

talking abt army days..i realise army days was undeniable memorable for me. i treasure e pple hu stick with me those sulky moments,n i actualli through different ways manage not to be in e army camp,which makes me so happy of the fact that i am not in camp..yes,it was so degrading n fun. wat was i doing then? oh man... going kream,drinking,a bit of cs n abit of friendster...a bit of bball, n i actualli love running for a period of time..betting on soccer matches during nights off n watching my army friends own me in three corridors(yes i was technicalli playing,but somehow alwas watch coz i am noob n die once i spawn out as i use tat hero on e horse which is super useless in late game). oh yes ang mo kio was a place i miss so much..n how could i fogot tat was e moment i was e skinniest n a bit bashful like one of my fav star wars character han solo. man...everytinme i look at my army photos n i look at myself now..i feel sad i have become like this,.
OK..bl0gging is good..i feel inspired to slim down...maybe i should go play bball with alex n his friends if they r playing..better go sms them..oh yes..it is 6am now.. i cannot sleep...bad sleeping habbits..

infection

2007-10-20T14:35:00.000-07:00

my 2 dogs r sick. which makes me upset.. esp copi hu is so full of expression..he does not hide his vulnerability n does not/cannot even struggle when i carry him. instd he will give e very poor pitiful look which is so rare. cocoa is as alwas lethargic,but this tiem excusable coz she is sick. poor r affected by thigs and fleas which suck out blood from them. my father hence brought it to e vet hu gave them apply some medicine which is super poisonous to e tigs.. but then,...e medicine is so strong, it is so smelly,cocoa copi juz not used to it, n copi vommit at e smell of e medicine.after application,copi had difficulty even standing up n fell down many times. copi is like tat,so physicalli strong,so energetic,but when comes to car sick or food upset or such effects,he is worse than cocoa. man i muz go home more often ,2 weeks dun go home, c such sickness,feel guilty. lucky it is onli temporary n e house has been cleared of them
later we found out tat many of our neighbour's dogs also face e same problem recently. i think i even noe where is e source of e parasites. poor strong Baby. he is such a strong golden retriever,but he will also be affected,esp since he runs loose without e owner around.
my mum as usual,makes things worse by nagging abt how dogs can be so troublesome.. which makes me feel sader when i c e dogs' lethagic faces.

last nite, while i was desperately trying to sleep...i ended up staring at blank space..n became emo..... emo abt my experiences in paris.. this blog spot,i will juz write wat goes on my mind..
keep on thinking abt my stay in paris,i miss it so much, e carefree moments,e cold weather there... one of my favourite moments was sitting at e open field in Invalids with e wind blowing strongli...as mike,mirani n me juz slept on e grass, resting after exploring e lourve museum in juz a day,we were going to e napolean museum next. how i miss those carefree moments whereby dun need to study dun need to work..man wat life..
everywhere in paris,u juz look up n chances r u will c e effiel tower...colourful pple all ard,not necessarily nice,but extreme...musical appreciation is probably max here whereby pple can juz dance or sing in e middle of e streets n displaying their joy..no wonder y pple say french r passionate..they express emotions well..
INT..wat a beautiful sch,n how can i forget e admin officer sandrine roche hu helped me a lot. there was this emabrassing moment though whereby she was counting e attendance for a trip, n when comes to raymond, she said,"raymond,of course". e whole bus laughed. laugh out softly.... but every1 there was too good to us..all e staff there realli protected us from e harshness of paris, n e food there so cheap n nice too.. e lessons...so fun too,i realli love cultural class..n also ..jean claud massey made french classes so interesting..even though i suck in e language,but i realli love every moment speaking e language of love...
Nice..wat a wonderful moment..undeniably also coz i won money there..but also coz of travelling alone, never b4 i felt so careful,esp of thefts..so nice.. n i gett o play bridge there..n is not abt winning...e fact tat i was so welcomed there..with e lousy english..n they even had a lady drove me b to my hotel.. so nice.. n i will remember spending e last hour juz looking at e beach,noeing it is time to leave.
chatelet,my favourite place in paris..n dun ask me y..it is indescribable..
montmarte..sleezy n sleezy..it ozzes of excitement all round e place
e effiel tower...e finale over there..how could i not feel it everytime i c it..racing down e effiel tower with e hongkongers,..racing from there b to sch to catch e italy train
carrefour..it will bring a new meaning to me next time.

love=lousy mahjong

2007-10-13T23:00:00.000-07:00

man...last nite i realli got thrashed in mahjong like mad...crazy n crazy.. freddie did e the 3 dragons combos(da san yan) on me and wood..yes onli 2 of us coz we were playing 3 men mahjong. i lost e 40 dollars chips n lost the other 10 dollars chips i borrowed from freddie! freddie was super on form tat day,n also it was my first time playing mahjong 3 person.... lucky towards e end,i manage to win back a bit to reduce my deficit to 36 dollars chips n THANK GOD we were onli playing 10cents /20cents,so end up i onli lost 18...
3 person mahjong is realli different from a 4 person mahjong,n it took me a very painful EAST direction to learn tat when i guard too much.. the offensive power is juz too great with onli 2 suits.. man it was crazy..every round,,pple make big n win on average 4.5 folds...3 folds wins are rare..
anyway, he treated us breakfast later n gossip abt clubbing culture in singapore. wood was super interested coz freddie juz came back from clubbing with a few hot babes(i saw 2 of them in friendster..they realli look cute). in fact,he was playing mahjong in his clubbing wear,which looked real youthful. wood apparantly was rather interested coz she in e end had to take cab to her tuition area at yew tee.
on a side note, i am real reluctant to switch from friendster to facebook...but face book is so fun! esp e jedi applications n fluff.. my pet 's fps is now 1600 plus! n i learn a lot abt jedi knowledge by playing with it.. but haiz...friendster is like my generation kind of thing..it has become sentimental...i can still remember e army times whereby i play friendster like mad.. friendster was like a joy to me then,n i rememebered how i took mc n spend my days at home playing cs and friendster n arcade games(ocassionalli bball too)..cough.. man..friendster,i wanna assure u i love u n wun abandon u ok? but do give me some breathing space n let me play with facebook..i do need friends(n flings) too ,u noe,...
n oh yes..thanxs songen for ur 7 cherrys u gave my coconut. feeding is fun!
n oh yes..raymond pls study..u can be real hopeless

it has been like few months since returning back from Paris. While i still missed it, surprisingly, i find myself enjoying like in spore once more.
cocoa n copi r now doing fine n cute...esp copi now with his eyes so big n alwas so happy... cocoa on e other hand, while cute in her own ways is getting more grumpy n my parents alwas teased cocoa PUCHENG which means sulky n grumpy. She is v contended with life though,juz tat she alwas demands full attention from us, not even wanting us to divert to copi. copi on e other hand is alwas happy n cheery,he seems onli interested in using up his endless energy runnning around, n alwas trying to mount on cocoa.. yes..naughty copi!
i came back to find ntu division 2 team rather shaky at first,but now ,we have more or less stabilised it again n secure our division 2 status once more. LOL it realli make things easier for us this yr as we aim for juz escaping relegation. thrashing SICC was e determining point which confirmed our spot.
I am trying to give up dota, n concentrate on my studies. i feel sad having to neglect salsa for e time being,but i dun have e confidence to try new things anymore...not when u r on ap status n is in a clear or die mindset.
Well now is my one week break n i am studying a little more than usual. realli hope to make it..i dun have anything else to ask for this sem.
MUZ study! muz study! muz study!

2007-09-24T11:03:00.000-07:00

going back to paris had a very special feeling for us, n we felt so familiar over there. N yet, we all knew these were the last few moments for e time being we will have in France. I stared at e effiel tower for some time while waiting for e train back to INT.
we reached INT pretty late n we had a hard time communicating with the security guard about our booked rooms n our luggages we put in INt b4 we left for italy in a rush tat day. helen with her level 2 in NTU for french spoke in her broken language, on va ou the luggages?
tat was singlish, n i found it v funny.
We headed to e airport the next day, with plenty of rest. many of us had a hard time sorting our luggages after been there for so long. to be honest, i was pretty relieved to be travelling back to spore as i missed my family,cocoa n copi n my old life in spore. i even daydream along e way abt making overtricks in bridge, making my trademark bamboos purity , using juggernaut n farming with my battlefury!
My parents were there to greet me n man was i so happy to see them. i hugged them n was overjoyed. later they brought me to temasek market to eat! i was starving n craving for asian food so much. I ate fish soup n rice, fried oysters, dry meepok n kangkong sotong all in one meal. n of coz my favourite milo dinosaur!
man... wat a way to end my europe exploration.. I ate wit a lot of emotions, as i think of Paris, mike n ava, Sweet Vanessa, my times in italy n austria, INT's blessings to us,ever so efficient giving us tat stability, e times we try new things, in chatelet dreaming ard....

Austria-Paradise

2007-09-24T10:21:00.000-07:00

slept a lot during e long journey to austria..but no one was complaining..for we were all so tired. one thing i realli admire in wei shiong n linsien is their knowledge in travelling. somehow they noe which train statin to stop n which lanes to change. we almoz miss a ffew trains....n they helped us narrowli escape.
After been to france n italy for so long, austria is like so out of e world,in a good sense. it is like such a paradise n everything is so clean,law abiding n friendli. the things there r so much cheaper too,things there r like onli a bit more expensive than in singapore! i still cannot imagine my first few hours in Innsbruck, happy n light hearted,finalli relieved to be in such a good environment. e mountains are so beautiful,it onli strengthens my love for austria. we checked in n slept for it was late.
Austria is very cyclist friendly, n u see bicycles everywhere in their own lanes in e roads. Jiajun, Wei shiong, Gabriel, Linsien n Shilvia split up from e group n went cycling. Shilvia was a little hesitant,but she finalli decided to go. Cycling in Innsbruck was one of e finest moment of e whole GSS trip. E mountains n scenery are so nice, n e tracks r easy to follow. We cycled around and stopped to visit the zoo and the crystal exhibition. e alphine zoo is e tallest zoo in europe, n somehow,i think fate played a joke on us by making us lost on e way to e zoo,n we make a detour n had to carry our bikes up to e zoo. when we reached e zoo, our legs were cramming like mad.
e cystal exhibition was a sight to behold with crystals everywhere. We were actualli late n not supposed to be allowed to enter,but e receptionist saw how tired we were by cycling tat she allowed us in. austrians are v nice pple,n tat was juz another incident. We were a little slow because we wasted too much time for e alphine zoo and our cycling speed s less than expected. shilva realli cycled v hard...but her smaller physical attributes proved to be an obstacle for her to cycle at e same pace as us. half e time, she was cycling real hard n jiajun is behind at e same pace taking pictures or eating at e same time! But her determination overcomed all obstacles n we all made it to e exhibition juz over time. i bought some souvenirs at e exhibitions there for my parents.
e next morning,we all woke up early to see e sunrise in e mountains. We were all already so tired, it took a lot of persuading n 2nd tots b4 i decided to go. it is free,which was y i decided to go in e end. E cycling gang cycled to e shop to return e bicycles b4 running to catch up with e bus. we caught up with rica n e rest but we probably juz failed to meet up with e bus. I was secretly very pleased n relieved when we had to go b..tat is how tired i was alreadi! e rest of e day,we juz slacked ard n shopped a little b4 we head to salsberg.

Salzburg..i will alwas remember this place for e sound of music tour. n i did not even watch e show yet! it was rather awkward when e tour guide asked hu has watched sound of music more than 10 times, n many pple raised their hands,including e woman next to me. but e tour guide was v funny n i like his jokes..
Mr n Mrs Hill brought their family to a castle on a holiday. They decided to stay there n asked e vampire there for accomodation. The vampire Dracula agreeded readily n showed them to their room. dracula then chatted with them n prepared dinner for them b4 asking for permission to leave.
tat nite, Mr Hill woke up from his sleep with terror. he woke up to c Dracula happily sucking up e blood from his wife hu was sleeping soundly juz next to him! Mr Hill was about to scream when to his sorrow,he saw his children all dead,n hanging in e closets nearby. He fainted, n Dracula pierced Mr Hill with his hidden tail. Dracula went on to suck e blood from e hill family beforeburying the whole family at the rear garden of e castle.
Well, burying them was hard work n Dracula needed a break. He poured for himself a glass of champagne n highly satisfied with himself,he decided to play his piano b4 sleeping. He played e music for a little while,b4 he felt a stab in his head. he turned around in agony n saw e Hill family behind him! they cursed him n keep on beating Dracula to death. Dracula could not recover from e initial stab n with e remaining strength,he asked Mr Hill how they revive themselves. guess wat the whole family answered.....
.....
......
........
...........................The Hills are alive....with the sound of music....

I like e jokes a lot..n tat was one of e jokes he said. i felt like an idiot not watching e show then. later on, we went to wolfstangang lake n e sight is beautiful,not altered at all from e show.

e next day..i decided to slack in e hotel watching e show sound of music. i could not enjoy it though for wei shiong n gabriel shocked by by getting me to go to wolfsgang lake. somehow i gave them e wrong impression i wanted to go there, but touched they detoured to get me to go,i left n went there instd. Over there, gabriel accidentalli broke one of the souvenirs but e shopkeeper said it was ok! Gabriel decided to buy a mug over there which was rather expensive.

We then took a train to Vienna,e capital of austria. we juz walked around vienna b4 taking a plane back to Paris,which was a reason y we went to Vienna. Goodbye Paradise Austria. I will come back one day.

Vernice.. i am sure u have heard of e merchant in vernice.. well...basicalli,i like vernice for e mind stimulation it creates for me. Vernice is like how raymond e. feist describes Krondor,esp. n e darker times when e Guy de Bras comitted arnachy n took over e place. e similiar feeling of e Mockers all over Krondor is there too, esp when we walked past e narrow alleys of vernice.
Activities wise, we did very little actualli. i guess we have been travelling so much, everything seems e same after a while. Along e way, e group teased Wei Shiong for liking Mingli coz of few incidents where he keep on commenting tat Mineli sounds like mingli. guess he was asking for it.
e attraction of vernice is e river around e city. i ate a lot of gelato in italy n have a sore throat then. n i still continued eating gelato! haha
we travelled to Austria e next day..with a bit of fatigue.

Shadow of Rome

2007-09-13T01:43:00.000-07:00

it was a good thing tat e programme Linsien planned out for us was packed, in a way, it prevented us from missing Paris. we reached rome ard late afternoon. i like rome for e roman feeling they give out which is alwas emphasised in e comics Asterix and also in e computer game Shadow of Rome which me n my brother tact teamed to complete. shadow of rome is abt 2 young men hu discovered e dark scandals of e assasination of julius cesear n plot to save rome from political destruction. one of them is good at fighting n ended up playing as a gladiator while e other one Octavious is a thief who sneaks ard e palace n secret areas to "obtain" evidences. i ended playing as a thief while my bro played as e gladiator who won over the crowd in e colloseum. 2 totalli different aspects of e game,n yet they bring out e atmosphere of rome so clearly. hence i was able to appreciate rome well. But like a shadow, rome had its nightmares too,for me literally. i dreamt that e there were thieves who were behind me n cut open e cushion seat to steal my wallet. this was largely due to jough jingh having her purse stolen n rica getting her bag cut. poor jough jingh,after getting her camera stolen in disneyland paris, this have to happen to her again. n it happened even b4 we realli started exploring rome. needless to say she had no mood to visit rome n had to make a police report,queing up with many other fellow victims. haiz, this is one of e onli few drawbacks of been good looking. looking like a pure sinless angel, jough gingh no doubt drew attention from any evil thieves at first glance. no,put it more explicitly,her demure vulnerable looks can even convert a person to a potential thief,let alone in a place with a "steal at first sight" policy. Rica also onli realised her bag was cut much later in e day,tat is how professional they r. it moz likely occured on e train whereby e girls were left alone as e 4 of us guys were sort of forced to split up in e huge traffic. this is how dangerous italy is in security. every tourist entered rome noeing of e dangers n yet many get their things stolen in a moment of weakness.
e rest of us went on to explore e colloseum, e ruin city, a fountain which i forgot e name haha n a catholic church. it was super tiring to climb to e top fo e church but we got to c e top view of rome. we were less impressed than e rest after juz been in paris which had a nicer view at Montmarte. bascally,rome was a time for me to sort of commemerate n feel e roman atmosphere juz like in e game shadow of rome. i also imagine e thieves lurking around everywhere like in e show.
outside e colloseum, i am v sure someone tried to steal my wallet as an woman touched my jeans. i turned b immediately n she gave me a nervous grin. i quickly walked away. Shilvia later asked me at a shop about e male sexual organs coz a tourist pants displayed the male organs v realistically. i explained to her, at e same time speechless at e innocence of a uni undergrad. man,talk abt country bumkin. i also tried to bargain for a bag,but the italian was super rude n asked me to go if i not interested to buy.
tat nite,we went b to e hotel n comforted jouh ginh. we also planned our time in rome tml,when we realise...linsien booked for us e morning train ticket to vernice. 7 am n 7pm! so much difference.. we could not go shopping liao n slept a little onli b4 going to vernice.
tat morning, i came to e conclusion moz italians r fucked up. we were preparing to go to e train n i was checking out for e group. e receptionist with his poor english could not understand me n yet accused me of speaking poor english! italians in general realli dun like chinese pple.. it was obvious here with his racist comment abt me a chinese dare to come to italy when i dun noe how to speak english! i was not even speaking singlish then,more proper english as i was used to it at tat time after mixing with ava,mike mirani n vanessa often in INT.
too bad,no shopping in rome. but to e city of vernice we go!

Au Revoir Paris

2007-09-12T21:25:00.000-07:00

It is the 4th n final week of our stay in Paris n i knew i will dread leaving France. It is like, everytime i enter a foreign country, i alwas hold back some of my feelings coz i noe sooner or later, i will have to leave e country. But this time, i cannot help but feel like a Parisian after staying here for a month. Paris has its charm tat is indescribable,esp after u noe both e good n bad parts of Paris. It was actualli scary tat i got used to e urine smell in Gare De Lyon n not hold my breath at all.
This feeling was so bad tat i did not even had e desire to explore France anymore. france is so big n yet a month is not enuff. I had a day free of euro travel free coz i did not get caught on e train when i entered Nice. even when i left Nice, i almoz did not get caught. but i did not use it n juz spend e days mostly in Chatelet slacking ard n daydreaming. It was fun juz sitting at e central fountains of chatelet looking at e pple moving to n fro.
E final week of sch was also exam day. it went fine, with INt obviously trying to pass us. i think i did pretty ok n found myself enjoying e french oral test even. i am truely grateful for e lessons INT gave us as they had been enjoyable to say e least. my interest in e french language grew n i made a point to learn french once i get rid of my mess in spore first. tat nite, we went clubbing. e locals there were rather bold as they attacked e girls aggressively. it is a culture shock for me to c them so feirce. one of them was dancing so close behind a sporean friend tat e gap was less than a finger tip. i "danced" with her n pulled her away from him, n i tot e incident would be over. NO. behaving like he was on drugs, he simply went to another friend juz next to e first target n did e same attack. this tiem all i could do was open my mouth n ponder over his directness n boldness. well, Chris , a haiwaian friend of ours was also in his flirt mode, as he seperate away from us to go hook up e french girls in e bar. it was quite fun, but i think we were like a rock there,a bit stoned compared to e rest.
E highlight of e week was obviousli bastille Day, whihc was france national day. e parade was in Champs Elysee. with mainly m,ilitary vehicles passing by. we went shopping after tat n i took e chance to draw money for e upcoming trip to austria n italy. was stressed e whole day carrying 500 euros e whole time. ate quite a number of macclourons(spelt obviously wrongli) along e way n bought a zara pair of jeans. tat evening, we joined many pple to further celebrate bastille day under e effiel tower. there was a huge concert there with many famous singers singing. quite a special moment but a little too squeezy. been there, i somehow miss e times in spore in my jc days tat nite whereby me n some jc friends were fooling ard n dancing at e music of ofuntain at suntec. man those days. at midnite was e moment we were waiting for, a full 45 mins display of music. the fireworks at e effiel tower was a good way to commerate e end of our stay in France.
after tat was e moz exciting moment of our GSS stay- reaching INT on time to take our luggage n rush to e airport on time for our trip to rome. dun forget it was super packed n e unreliable french railway system,anxiety is a factor we cannot avoid. talk abt stress. it does not help tat our group later broke up into 3 different groups due to human traffic. also things did not look even more promising as e station was closed. we had to squeeze on to e next station at INvalids, hoping tat it would be open.
along e way,some blacks tried to hook up with helen n took picture with her. Helen was freaking out. it was highli unlikely they were sincer abt making friends hence i followed my instinct n grabbed her by e hand n pulled her away, n giving a silly grin to e blacks. i was relieved they never followed up as i was vulnerable,not forgeting my 500 euros in my pocket. probably e worse day to draw so much money,n i did. must not tell my parents abt it. e invalids station turned out to be open n it was soon clear my group will make it b on time. we started worrying abt e rest hu split up with us. after all, we all need to gather eventualli to head to e airport. another sleepless nite with so much worries. when we board e last train to evry at Juvisy, we saw Shaun n jiajun dashing to e train n juz making it on time. yes! they were running n e train door closed after tat. talk abt amazing race! later we realised tat wei shiong n harold managed to squeeze through e train as well.
to italy! tired n we cannot afford to feel tired for next few days.

Birthday in Paris

2007-09-11T01:37:00.000-07:00

after Nice, e stay in France for e 3rd week was more or less casual n relaxing. Evry while boring has cheap food in the neighbourhood areas. despite winning a little cash in Nice, the reality still hits in that i have spent a little to much in one of e most expensive cities in the world.
On the day i rushed back to INT from Nice,i barely made it on time for lessons. the ride back was rather long,n i was in e same train with a french family who was well brought up. The daughter was super chio n i tried to have conversation with her,but was rather limited,coz i onli noe a bit of french sentences. i reached INT by 930 sharp. Of coz, i did not have time to put my luggage back in my room n went straight for class. it was a little embarrassing to be seen in such a mess with my dirty clothes in the plastic bag, But every1 was too caught up with e interesting lessons to notice. Lesson was on wine appreciation n we got to taste different wine n learn how to drink it in a refined manner. the ham from burgundy was good too,n i put it in a pastry to make it simulate char siew pao. i skipped lunch tat day as i super sleepy from having rushed back from Nice.
e rest of e week i realli lobo n do nuthing. which is not much left coz weekends n a day is alreadi planned by e sch. independence day fell on this week. so needless to say, e americans gathered on tat day. e VT students have alwas been so happening n it was yet another day whereby they stayed overnight drinking till the next day.
But independence day is independence day. e moz memorable day,even for e whole holidays was....my bday. yes,6th july falls on this week too, n i was so happy juz to spend my birthday in Paris. To make things better, it turned out that my S'porean friends actualli knew it was my bdae! soon every1 in e exchange programme knew n many sweet things was done for me. I love them man n i felt so loved! Vanessa n gang was e sweetest as they juz appeared out of nowhere n sang e birthday song for me in front of e pple ard me! i was impaled n shackled at e same time but i was blushing. then one of them get e whole french class to sing for me too in french class. i got a few gifts too,while simple, was enuff to make me blush n remember it for life. In e end, wat shawn said was true...it is good to have ur bdae in paris..so much special attention. Thanks, Shawn,Wei Shiong, gabriel, Mike, Ava n most of all, Vanessa n gang! i will remember this bdae for life! n oh ..btw later i realised tat while i did not tell them abt it, they knew abt my bdate coz of my particulars b in NTU.`
Oh btw, vanessa was in my opinion e moz attractive gal in e whole programme, with her looks onli losing to marie n natalie,2 hawaian gals hu have this homely sweet looks. But vanessa standso ut from e rest with her poositive n active lifestyle. e wit she showed is similar to her 2 other friends...which is probably y they 3 r alwas together. I got to noe her on a bus ride back to sch when INT brough us back from e effiel tower. i was drunk at tat time as well.
tat weekend we went to oyster farm n saint michel for excursion, n it was not bad. i enjoyed e oysters a lot.

NICE Beach--described by a 4 letter word

2007-07-06T10:44:00.000-07:00

man,cannot explain how excited i was to go to nice.. esp i went alone..i realli have so much expectations for this. my expectations were met in this trip,n NICE realli turned out to be my hightlight of france,n most likely europe.
my first time travelling alone n i was not too sure abt how to take e train to there.but turned out it was easy. there was even a bed for me to sleep,thank GOD,for my feet was suffering from bruises after walking ard lourve musem n e military museum all day long. had a good sleep,but regretted not chatting up with some korean girls tat were sleeping next door. but they were rather shy too n i was rather frightened of my personal belongings been alone.
reached Nice e next morning n first thing was to look for e beach. i also decided to finalli take a hotel despite earlier plans to juz sleep along e streets overnight. shaun warned me how dangerous NICE was n told me of how e holigans frequent e places. he realli advised me to take a room despie e high cost of europe,n i think he finalli got me scared. so i book a hotel for 53 euros! then i go n explore e beach.
man,beach was beautiful... e sun e sea n e pebbles.. yes pebbles,not sand. there is no sand at all. e sea is crystal blue,juz like in phuket. everywhere u c westerners suntanning,with some not been shy to take off e bare top. there r koreans there too,probably southern france is near korea. i juz slept at e beach while day while covering my eyes from e sun. did not dare to swim in e sea coz was worried for my camera. a pity i did not get to c weddings like kerin ,jouh ginh ,rica n linsien saw,coz mine is on e weekdays.
finalli it was time to go to e casino n play with some chips! i allocated 250 euros in this trip for gambling,but turn out i onli had 150 to gamble with in e end coz i have been spending too much in e last 2 weeks. entering e casino was realli a little silly for me. i could not enter e casino even,coz they say i had no shoes. so when i finalli bought a pari of shoes,i realised tat i need to show them my passport. iwent back to e hotel again n took my passport n rushed back to e casino(very gian). by then,my feet were bruising badli already after all e added injury from walking ard nice after walking so luch e day b4. i think it is my slippers,i finalli understood e problem of been flat footed. i finalli reach e casino again.................n they told me i could not enter e cards session coz i wearing bermudas... v silly of me rite..
anyway,i spend some more time looking ard for pants.. my persistant paid off i finalli got a cheap pants for onli 10 euros(not cheap by spore stds though). so i entered in finalli,been so happy to get in. yes tat is how gian i was.there was noone playing blackjack yet. but many pple were playing stud poker which was completely alien to me. even english n french roulettes were both rather new to me. i had to observe e games for a while b4 i decided on english roulette. i exchanged my chips n decided to play passive. i played a standard routine of betting 5 times on red,b4 betting on black 5 times. tat way i figured,i could not lose much money.
few hours later,i was winning like ard 60 euros.i decided to take a rest n go back to e beach for a while. hence i decided to bet on numbers instead of e colour. something amazing happened here. i felt tat 36 was a very good number to bet on,n i pondered over y i had such a strong feeling over tat number. it quickly dawned on me tat my hotel number was 316. hence i took a chip n bet on 36,n took 3 more chips n told e dealer to help me put on trua, ure, six. e balled started spinning.... n landed on a number. i did not noe how to react but could not resist a soft yes..when i saw e dealer put e token on e number 1!! i won 35 times 5 euros juz in a round.. change of plans..not time to go to beach but to go to hotel to safe keep my money first.
an hour later,i walked from e beach back to another casino.however i was not allowed in again as this time e casino said i dressed too sport like. so i returned back to e casino ruhl n spend e rest of e nite there. this time,there was a table for blackjack,n i joined in. man...black jack needs skill,something which a greenhorn has no advantage in tat aspect. i lost 110 euros there. i also felt a little sleepy n decided to call it a day. i limped back to e hotel as my feet were bruising. i got a little frightened when a local punk approached me when i exited e casino. fortunately,he onli was asking for a cigarette.
next morning,i ate breakfast in e hotel prepared by e sweet french lady. too bad she dun understand english. anyway,i went to e beach again n this time i brought v little money n left my video camera n camera back in e hotel lobby for e staff to look after. i went to e beach n swam there. man u can realli feel e salt of e water,n e current there is so strong,i got washed ashore many times,as i day dream in e sea. but i was realli happy as i look at e ancient buildings of nice; n admire e beach at e same time. man i realli wish e orcs were here juz like old times.
i also chat up with 5 korean girls hu were at e beach. surprisingli,their english was better than expected,n i could converse with them a little. they gave me a banana n i tried this korean food they offered me. quite unique but rather spicy. it was a pity i had no camera or i would have taken a pic with them ,for they were hot.
e afternoon,i walked to a bridge club far away,n they allowed me to play in e tournament. finalli i get to play bridge in france!it was 6.50 euros to play.i started with a v good score,but a lecture from my p abt my 3rd hand 2Hpreempt with 12 pts n onli 5 hearts make me decided to play normalli for e rest of e competiton. anyway,e pple there were rather friendli,n i suspect some of them did gave me chance. i think my p n i got first,coz we had v good scores all over e place. e funny thing was i did not even noe whether it was imps or matchpoints! i keep on asking my p if it is match pts or imps,n she juz keep on replying to me in french tat i am sitting on north...
well it was time to go back. i got a tourist to take pics of me in e beach b4 i return back to paris. by e time i reached sch,it was 930 n i decided to go for sch straight with all my stuffs.
Nice-i love u!

my heart is stepping too deep into paris

2007-07-06T10:29:00.000-07:00

e rest of e weekdays was spend shopping,hanging abt in chatelet;sleeping in e field n going to e museums. there r so many museums in paris,tat e pple hunger for knowledge,or have any form of craving for artistic or historical values should make a point to go paris at least once in a life time. there r juz so many museums,including e ever so famous da vinchi code mona lisa pic in lourve musem. there r also interesting museums like military n erotism museums,which we explored. we also went to china town ,which was not v nice compared to spore's one.
got to noe e other international students better too,esp mike,mirani,eva. there r this 3 american girls hu were cute too n silly grins were often exchanged. i chose to go lourve musem with mike n mirani n wat a good choice it was. all 3 of us were equalli "interested" in e art works n we scanned e museum within a day,which was almoz impossible considering e enormous size of it. mingli spend 3 days to explore e museum,n even tat was barely enuff.
went to loire valley on sat too. e castle was disapointing. too grand n is actualli more of a palace. i was looking more for medieval castles actualli. np..next sat we going to saint michel n monte carlo n hopefulli there will be castles there more medival.last resort i will skip sch a day n go to places which def. have such castles.

juz do it

2007-06-27T15:53:00.000-07:00

e nice vs castle decision was killing me,but finalli i decided to come with a decision n juz stick with it. i will go for both. yeah! felt so happy once i booked e tickets n commit. but it means i am going nice alone..which is actualli quite dangerous.. but guess will have to protect myself more..
last 2 days went to china town n chatelet. juz now i flied a kite on gabriel but it was realli not on purpose.hoped he understands.. today is e france sales!!! bought é bermudas,underwear n slippers with 50 percent discount. they were even cheaper than in spore; n so nice too. bermudas S25,slippers S20; underwear S6. worth it...
more things to buy in time to come... e sale last 6 weeks.. so can wait. 2 shirts i intend to buy drop v little. it was 65 euros each,but now drop by onli 10 euro.. but realli like it n if they dun drop;think i will still buy them.

Castle Invasion v.s. Beach Retreat

2007-06-25T03:11:00.001-07:00

talking abt childhood dreams, i realli want to go visit e castle. n e sch is bringing us there this sat. imagine e castle walls,some broken by catapults of e past,knights in shinning armour,soldiers with their spears,dragons n princess, n seeing e tactis of how pple attack a castle juz like in lord of e rings n e fantasy books. also would like to c how e different walls form many layers of defence n c how e soldiers retreat from one to naother n finalli to e last stand!

but problem problem.i dun have time. is either tat or niche beach-another muz go area. have already reserved train tickets to e beach. n it is also v meaningful to me;coz i realli felt so happy when i watch e show e beach acted by leonardo. also going to nisse will remind me of my never forgettable times in NS days when i hang out in phuket with e orcs. pure shores...it is a nice song.

dilema dilema...it is onli 12 euros to cancel e reservation os it is a tough decision. i am now pending towards niche coz i can alwas visit less famous castles.

weekends in paris

2007-06-25T02:52:00.000-07:00

it has been a week in france alreadi.haiz how time flies. i love paris in e summer... juz a song i heard on e boat travelling ard e effiel tower.
sat was e sch trip going to e effiel tower n e mohmad again. but this time i got to climb up e effiel tower. we onli had 15 mins to meet up again from e top of e tower,so me a few taiwanese n hk pple n mike chiong down e effiel tower stairs instd n it was fun! deffinately making it more meaningful than taking e lift down. we took a few photoes along e way too,then chiong again; Song!
mohmad was e same thing again,but i actualli look forward to it again coz i realli appreciate e music the musicians play while looking at paris from e top. i am e king of e world! took a lot of videos of e music. there was this weird lady wearing a crown too asking for some donations. videoed her as well. later we had a good meal n i drank a lot,noeing the bus will bring us b. e white wine was great. got tipsy a lot man.. oh chantelily j;;papapapalala...

next day was an accompishment of one of my childhood dreams-to go to disneyland! paris disneyland consists of 3 different section n we onli had time for one section n did not get to complete e section even! bought 2 star wars t shirt which looked real cool. e 1st 2 rides were not so good but served as a warm up. e phantom manor was like so unscary,tat we were all seriously frightened tat all e rides were going to be so pathetic. but later on e rides we took were fun. e space mission2 was a real triller,indianna jones too,n there was star tours-an representation of star wars! pirates of carribean rides is good too. triller rides aside,we had a easy rides to relax in e small small world,glimpsed a bit of lion king(cannot miss this,i regreted missing this),saw aladin n e nautilis things n played buzz lightyear n feel our way round alince's wonderland. went with rica,sean harold n their 2 gfs; sean n harold r realli fun pple,n we realli accomplish our goal to chiong most of e fun parts in tat section.
e whole day ,we were v giddy though. we chiong so much tat we had no time for a proper meal n ate a bit of bread along e way. came b int ard midnight starving like hyenas.

Yeah!!!i have been to disneyland!!yohoo..

2007-06-22T14:01:00.000-07:00

e morning class for next é days were boring. onli e history of france was interesting. did u noe tat e france pple originated from e gauls described in Asterix n Oblelix? then later a germanic tribe calles e franks conquered e land.today,germany n france r so different;despite e history. otherwise it was boring n i should have taken e morning to walk ard n appreciate e fresh air.
french lesson was embarrasing. i keep on pronouncing the words wrongli,one of them francais been pronounced as franchise in front of e whole class. the teacher was patient n nice though,probabli coz not much was expected though. but i can now recite 1 to 20 by heart. un de triox quatre cinq six sept huit neuf dix onze duex trioze quartorz quintorze seize dix-huit dix-neuf trent..yeah! e alphabets i never bother to noe how to pronounce,but it is quite similar to english(ang-gor-le)..with a few exceptions like y=yi grake.
anyway e festival of music was good,too bad i came to chantelet a bit late. i saw some slow salsa dancing too with non salsa music. i wanted to throw down my video camera n dance too,but to my horror,i forgot all my salsa steps liao. i make it a point to come e next day to watch them dance e whole day n refresh my memory.(i came e next day alone ,but to my disapointment,there were no more dancing but instead lots of porno shops with shop titles of DVD n dispatch); we also saw chinese singing christians songs n i teased zai yao abt meeting his fellow countrymen. i enjoyed watching e brazilian dance of capeiro(i think i spell it wrongli). i wished i had enjoyed this festival with my salsa friends b in ntu,but then again,maybe e time is rite for me to stay away for a while n catch up with my lost kungfu.
