Christmas day

Spent christmas day in orchard.....

First of all got a pink daisy for my dear. Flowers seemed to have an unexplained, profound effect on girls. Something that guys can never and will never understand. I for one, only understand that my dear loves flowers, but i don't understand why. haha......

Watched the christmas light up at orchard road. This stretch from the Istana to PS was especially nice. These light created sort of an enchanted, magical garden feel.

There are lots of people at orchard on christmas day. Most of them were busy taking pictures of the chirstmas light up. The picture below shows a part of the road that is not being blocked off by the traffic police. These people are standing in the middle of the road with kids and tripods, trying to take a nice picture of the lightup. The cars have to horn their way though the people jaywalking, urm... jay-photoshooting, jay-standing, jay-strolling... ur you get the idea.......

God, i even see a baby pram in the middle of the road with daddy busy taking pictures for mommy and kids. :S Thats what i call irresponsible parents.


Here is a picture i took on christmas eve at harbour front. Look at this tree, its being decorated with Ferro Roche chocolates. Nice? Well... take a closer look at the next picture...

See that???? People actually STEAL the chocolates meant to decorate the tree. OMG.... thats terrible, horrible, anti-social behaviour of Singaporeans. Some people are really cheap-skate.... two boxes of Ferro Roche Chocolates are selling for only $16 at Watsons nearby? What happened to the spirit of christmas? The must be nice and all that. When i was there, there was even a security guard there to keep an eye on the tree. How sad to see this happening on christmas?

Fisherman's Wharf



Had dinner at the Fisherman's Wharf. It is a great and cheaper alternative to Fish and Co. There is no service charge or govt tax as well. Although there is no air-conditioning, it is rather airy and cooling to sit around there. This place is great and the fish and chips test good too!

Genting highlands

When to Genting Highlands (malaysia) last weekend. It was an approximately 330 km drive away. Set off from my home at about 7am and reached there at around 3pm. Had numerous meal and toilet breaks in between. Driving there was definitely quite an experience. Something to introduce me to long distance driving. In Singapore, at most you only get to drive from Changi to Jurong and back. Here, i get to experience what it is like to be driving for 3-4 hours non-stop. Going there was fun, coming back was tiring, esp when everyone else in the car was asleep except you. Finally understand what is driver's fatigue ;)

Drivers there are basically on the whole, rather courteous i would say. They do not horn unneccessarily, even when you happen to cut into their lanes. However, after awhile, i realised that actually, their act of not horning is not due to courtesy. Actually, people cutting sharply into your lane without signalling (nearly caused me to had an accident) , tail-gating even when u are driving at 12okm/h, and driving dangerously close to you due to them not following their own lanes ( one of them scatched the left side of my car due to this >:( ) has becomed such a common practice that most cannot be bothered to horn anymore. Bloody Bastards!!!!! But i noticed something good as well, heavy vehicles such as lorries, buses and trucks will keep left on highways unless overtaking. Over here, i had seen some lorries and trucks hogging the right lanes. Super inconsiderate! I think singaporeans are one of the most inconsiderate drivers in the world! Special mentions goes to taxi and lorry drivers!

Stayed over at the First World Hotel. Here is how the place looks like. If you are not here for the joy rides at the theme parks or the casino, basically there is nothing left to do. Going outdoors require a pass which in turn requires your to pay an additional fee. Something which i thought is damn ridiculous! Things here are bloody expensive as well. 3 fishballs for 3 ringgit!!! Thats $1.50. Which means each fishball is 50 cents. And mind you, they are not exactly tasty. Cold and hard fishballs that tasted as if it has been heated up from last night's dinner at 50 cents each. Wow! Singapore have peanuts, but malaysia got their very own fishball as well.

Oh did i mentioned that they had fried prawn for 6 ringgit each? Thats 3 bucks per prawn. Thats one bloody golden prawn eh.... maybe it was a lobster in disguise....

pay fine still got lucky draw wor.....

I was paying my parking fine the other day via the so called efficient, otherwise partially faulty SAM machine that is not suppose to make your life miserable. I stood in front of the machine for close to 20 mins trying very very hard not to lose my temper by smashing the monitor, trying to navigate the bloody interface and non-sensitive, slightly misaligned touch screen. When i finally found out where to pay my bloody fines.... Tada!!! It prompts me to key in my NIRC number as there would be a lucky draw. Woah.... pay fine still got lucky draw wor.... how cooool is tat!!! Singapore is really a "fine" city man, so many people pay fines until can have lucky draw. Wonder wat the prizes were?

Parking coupons? Not bad, since singapore very hard to find free parking. Where to find? And the probability of the parking auntie slipping the summon paper under your windscreen wipers is 0.98783 when you forgot or deliberately to/not place your parking coupons. Maybe their parking fines revenue is too high thats why got lucky draw. Looks good on the financial report. :P

I wonder what bleak future lies ahead here..... Even people who underpays their bus fares can get thrown into jail. You need your IC to buy bloody chewing gum, and the economy only looks good during pre-election. Hmmm.... food for thought.

go-kart!

When go-karting in JB last week with my uni-friends. Look at this picture! We looked like 6 cocksters :S

The race course is big enough for a good race :) The only bad thing is that the helmet has not visor and hence, lotsa sand particles and dust kept flying into my eyes. So most of the time, i can't see whats ahead clearly.

Hope to go there again. Its real fun.

Have not been updating regularly... Too busy playing la... Holidays also very busy one u know?
Some updates... been to JB for KTV, Go-kart and seafood. Very SHIOK! Also have been watching VCDS... HK dramas la... my canto now got improve abit liao..... Playing games.... gunz, winning11...... and also, have been going out.

Going malaysia again this coming weekend. Genting highlands! Will be driving there.... This will be my first time driving long distances, so hence i am pretty excited about it. Yay.......!!!

Hair cut!!!

Both of us had a haircut at chapter 2 yesterday. Hair desperately needed some trimming.... starting to look like a caveman. Ya... just like a person trapped in an island. Ever wondered how come people at the LOST series, their hair never seemed to grow? And some of them can change clothes now and then. One of them can even sunbathe in a bikini. Hmm... sounds like something to increase viewership.

Anyway this is how we look after the haircut. The coloring is done by joey, not by the salon :P





Saw this at Clarke Quay NEL today. Never seen such a dumb thing in my whole life. Come on, will i want to buy a stupid night rider owl. "Lovely beanie" .... pui~~~ plain dumb!

These posters are also such an eye sore. Just anyhow paste on the wall. Wah lau... dun have proper notice board is it? :P

Ipod Nano and the new ipod


Went to apple shop to have a hands on feel of the new ipod nano (okok it has been out in the market for quite awhile)

WAAaaaah....!!! So chio! ;)

1000 songs, Impossibly small....
Its real small. But the click wheel is managable, you can still see photos clearly on its high resolution screen. You must go down there and hold it before u can fully appreciate it.

Damn nice lah.... can trade in my Ipod 4G 20GB not.... :P

Lin Jun Jie


Everyone should listen to JJ's new album. Its mainly R&B in chinese. Talk about East meets West....
"Bian hao 89757" is a great and catchy song.... others are also very catchy... :)

My recommended tracks...... Track 2, 3, 5, 10, 12.


Only recently got to know this great pop singer from Singapore. Gonna dig out his old songs and see if they are nice anot.


Addicted to this album...............
