Nice??.. Just our 2nd day together and look how united we are.. =)

Well, today went to school for an E-briefing of the school's intranet stuff and after that some went to collect their EZ link card before going home while others including me went for lunch at the north canteen.. Sigh, the north canteen has such good food but our SCL building is in the south... So if we want we'll have to walk a loooong way... Oh well.. The mango chicken rocks!!... Damn nice, and it's cheaper compared to outside... Only $3.50? Standard seems better than outside western food at coffee shops... After lunch we went to make the EZ link cards as we haven't applied for the cards...
Then we headed home, Nuh and Su heading up while ZhiHao, SunJ and I headed down... I was heading to AMK today.. So after 1 stop I had to alight...
Met Vic and LH at the K-POOL... They were already playing and LH had won both matches... WOW.. I played a few matches, winning Vic twice losing him once, and winning and losing LH once each... YC came later but he ended up playing with the lady boss LOL... Later we played a tag match where Vic and I played LH and YC.. I dunno who won who lost as Vic shot the black with the cue ball though it was MY turn... Ah whatever... After pool we bought tickets for Spiderman 2 and went to the arcade to kill time... Played Guilty Gear for the 1st time.. Not bad... Managed to win Vic and YC with LH's help.. Anyway time passed and we went in the cinema... We got the back row seats and they were the best I think... The movie was quite good too... I thought it wasn't that nice but now I think it's not bad... 2hrs+ too... A lot of people watching too today... When we were leaving, I spotted a familiar face.. JAMES!!! And who was that short guy with him?.. WEI SIANG!!! LOOOONG time never seen them... It was great seeing them after soooo long... But they both are also in NYP so I hope to see them more often then... Just one of those almost PERFECT days... =)

Whooo-hooo!!.. MB0405 ROCKS MAN!!! How to start... Well... On the 1st day of the orientation of course none of us knew each other and no one talked... But after we got to tutorial room and started intro-ing each other, we quickly became comfortable with each other.. Oh yeah did I mention that Si Ping was in the same class and she came late?? LOL.. When she came in I was like.. EH?? HER?? So coincidental??? Whahahaha... She's one of the 1st colleagues I had in MOTOROLA, back late last year.. And I actually had thought of her as OLDER then me or something.. LOL.. What a surprise... SAME CLASS... Anyway the people there were nice... Zhi Hao, Kat, Xin Ee, CJ, Pree, Su, Noor, Antony etc etc... What more of a class can one ask for?.. We had Benjamin and Hafix for OGLs and they were great, esp Ben who was the one who really got us to start to talk cos we were all so quiet at 1st lol... We had to perform something as like all classes, and we couldn't think of anything at 1st, but after Evans gave an idea, we kinda explored further and ended up with a really great skit, one which got me a daughter and 2 sons lol... Er.. The "wife" was randomly picked whereas my "children" were "adopted" LOL... ZhiHao, Noor and Su were great at acting like kids, while I portrayed their "Dad".. LOL.. We were doing a skit bout us watching tv where the ads and shows were acted out by the other guys... Damn fun... At the end of it we had Kat act as Sadako and scare us bad... Whoa I actually got a bruise while scrambling away LOL... She was one FAST Sadako... LOL... Then at the end of it after the votes were counted and the points were totalled, we got 3rd!!!... I was damn happy... Never thought we'd get even 3rd... BUT WE DID!!!... Ben was most surprised I think... Haha... But they said they had given points for special criterias like team spirit etc.. So maybe we scored on that... On times where we shared costs to help some guys who didn't come today and had to buy their lab coats for them, EVERYONE helped chip in to help buy... Haha esp the 1st day where we had this game where we had to wrap up 2 small sized fellows as mummies and after that, we had to shield them from water bombs... We had a photo taken of us with Kat and Xin Ee as the mummies.. Can't wait to get that... Then the second day which was today we had to drink this mixture as our inauguration drink... It was supposed to be wasabe, soy sauce, bitter gourd and some other stuffs... But we all "yum-seng" and downed the drink... After that we had a photo taken and distributed the prizes we got.. On both days took the same train as Su and Noor, and today had Si Ping and Evans on the same train too... I think our class will be just great.. :)

OoO wow school orientation's tomorrow.. Lookin forward to that.
Church today. Nothing special, just the usual. Just a lil extra toppings when some of the gals did a forfeit on Mark and Maung... LOL.. After church we had lunch at BK as usual.. Some gals brought LJS over which kinda pissed this old guy off LOL.. But as soccer was pushed up earlier, we had to rush... Went home to log into Msn for awhile before heading down for soccer.. Well, I think last week's was much better from what I heard.. This week there were quite a lot of people, including BBs from YTSS and.. EXTRAS from the same annoying group we played every week... Who invited THEM?... Probably Dennis but who cares.. I came to have fun, which I did.. INITIALLY.. Well at first I was referee for a match as Shaun's team hadn't arrived.. I think I've found an all new respect for all referees.. Its HARD being one. ANYWAY... I played in Shaun's team.. Our first match we trashed this BB team bout 10-1 or something.. Whahahaha.. We all managed to score at least 1 each, and Shaun scored in that match bout 4 I think. The next match I was sub-ed and they trashed another team 8-1.. Again Shaun scored bout 3-4 goals.. Nice. Then the next match, the quarter-finals, the same thing again.. Crushing victory, only I didn't play. ARG. Then came the extras. Semis. Our team vs those extras. They're good though, but VERY aggressive.. After having played them so long, it was clear. 1st half, Maung scored an impressive goal, but their team soon equalised and led 2-1 in just a few secs. Feeling restless I sub-ed Houston as keeper, as much as I hate being keeper, I hate watching us losing to those extras.. So the second half went on very quickly and we screwed up, not managing to equalise, so we lost. Sigh. But seeing the OBC or Old Boys Club winning the older BBs, I thought, hey, why not, 3rd/4th placing match, so I kinda "requested" for the match which was approved!!.. Well.. As I had no choice, I played keeper.. 1st half was horrible.. I couldn't block the 3 goals that entered.. Stupid rule bout not using hands.. I should have.. I could have easily blocked 1 or 2.. Anyway.. 2nd half was a miracle... We managed to get back slowly, 1, 2, then 3 goals to get even.. I was AMAZED.. Then, Maung scored a penalty though he missed by shooting a rebound I think.. But the BBs also got their penalty courtesy of Yours Truly. Though they missed the penalty, they scored after an open shot.. SHIT. 4-4. Then if I'm not wrong Shaun scored the last winning goal to win 3rd placing. WHEW!.. I'm NOT EVER gonna play keeper anymore!!.. That is with the exception of saving Houston's ass again lol.. The finals. It was brought down to a DRAW. The OBC vs extras. Penalty. I was surprised when my dad took the 1st shot. At first I thought he'd miss?.. BUT HE SCORED!! Which turned out to be the ONLY goal out of the 6 penalties.. COOL!! At least the extras got 2nd.. After that I went back to church in Amos' car to help bring the chairs back... Apparently?.., some idiots stuck gum in a chair which stuck onto another chair?.. And the gum got onto a car I think.. CRAP.. But we just carried to chairs into the elavator and brought the chairs into the 4th floor office. After that Amos got me home.. AH.. Oops. I forgot to wash my boots. Uh oh.
Oh yea.. I got 2 letters recently.. 1 was from the Army, which graded me into Pes B which means Fit for most operational vocations (FULL BMT).. Since I'm not choosing vocations like Commandos or the like, I don't think it'll matter much... Sheesh.. 2nd letter was from the RED CROSS and guess what?.. They're having a blood drive and want me to go. I guess the Army didn't tell them bout my thalassemia did they?.. LOL.. Am I supposed to tell them?... Hmmm.. NAH.. Ignorance is bliss.. How true... Chris OUT!..

PORTUGAL WON!! ENGLAND LOST!! FRANCE ALSO LOST!! So now, I'm two-thirds happy, one-third sad. Why? Portugal won while France lost - two-thirds happy. England lost - one-third sad. Yep. Like I said, sad game to watch. But France? LOST?? YAAAAAAAY!!! So happy :D
Yesterday I had quite a great time out with some ex-classmates.. Met up with Vic and LH for lunch at Food Court at Northpoint downstairs before we went to Raiders AMK to play some LAN!!.. YC was already there with his 2 friends and we played WC3 D-DAY.. Way cool game.. My first time playing this so wasn't that good at first.. Kept dying LOL.. But the second and third were better.. Vic was quite pro using that character that had some cool spells... YC was VERY pro, his kills reached 200 I think.. After LAN we played some pool at the newly opened K-POOL.. The pool tables and cues there quite new so, nice to use.. This time I played quite well compared to most of them hehe.. Though LH was still quite pro too... And it was only his secong time playing??.. He's a pro-in-the-making I tell ya.. Oh yeah I got a few pics of them too, but missed YC as he left early..

victor lookin serious with his shot eh.. lol

ed tryin his luck with a side shot.. he missed btw LOL..

lee hong, da PRO in the making!!

After pool we had dinner at S11.. All of us except Ed had chicken chops from "Rasa Sayang" and they were GREAT!!! THREE THUMBS UP!! The sauce for the chops was SHIOKA!!! No wonder why they are famous.. After the dinner we went to play a lil arcade... Wanted to complete House of the Dead 3 but the damned machine got spoilt when we were using it... Sigh... Then we played Daytona2 all the way... Haha kinda siao but dunno what else to play also.. After that we took the bus back to Northpoint where we bought a drink and went home.. So annoying.. Walking back with BK for my dad and bro it rained.. But got home eventually.. Whew. Chris out!

I'm sleeeeeeeeeeeeeepy... But in the name of soccer... Just an hour more and its a really sad game to watch (for me).. Both Portugal and England beings faves, I dunno who to root for!!.. Oh well... We'll see in an hour I guess.
Woke up with the same sickening headache but at least I managed to sleep without waking once. Met Ed, Vic, LH, YC, Auntie Jo, CH and Jo's friend Alex for bowling.. Glad to see them all after so long.. Esp Vic lol.. Oh yeah he fell ill the same time as me too!! Same thing, headache, sore throat.. Is it the weather?.. So hot... Anyway.. I feel kinda bad though. I was late and missed the 2 lanes.. So we played pool first... Well.... I think I've really de-proved in pool.. Kept missing all kinds of shots, even open ones.. The rest did better... A LOT BETTER.. ESP. Ed.. He's really pro now.. LH had some beginners luck in this.. Vic improved too... For the full "report" I'm sure Victor is gonna provide it in his blog lol... After pool we went back to the bowling alley and still there's no 2 lanes together... As there were 8 of us we had to split 4-4 in the same lane, so Jo, CH, YC and Alex started 1st... After them was Ed, LH, Vic and me.. I managed to score a 92, better than my scores back in M'sia, though my opening frames started with zeros lol... I tied 1st with Vic.. Very impressive.. With 2 strikes I think.. After bowling they headed to Funland while I went back to get my uniform as it was almost 5.. Went home got my uniform and found them there.. Watched them race and stuff when I met a colleague Leon there.. He's quitting soon.. Sigh.. Most friendly guy from the kitchen.. Well.. Managed to grab a bite at KFC before rushing to work, with my 7-UP LOL.. Lucky no one saw hehe... Work today a bit sian... Jamie and Weini.. And Andrew.. Luckily today not so busy... Crap sia my left foot cramped all of a sudden while I was clearing a table.. So bloody pain... But it slowly disappeared... Managed to learn a few bar orders... Messed up a few times, keying in an order and pressing "print check" instead of "send order"... 2nd time already. But as I was doing table closing and the last customer left, Jamie was saying "no customers!!" when 2 groups entered at THAT MOMENT!.. AND.. 1 of the groups HAD to use a table that I had already closed though I was leading them to another LARGER table.. Heaven makes sport of man doesn't it?.. SHEESH. So because of this 2 tables we ended up finishing at bout 10.15 I think... So tired!!.. Well. I've got bout 40 mins more I think.. SIANZ.. Thank God the + signs aren't appearing anymore!..

Came back from M'sia yesterday but wasn't in any state to blog with my bloody aching head killing me.. Yup, I fell sick. Anyway I'll get to that later.. I'm having a hell lot of difficulty blogging as a + sign keeps appearing out of nowhere as the key is spoilt.. So if u see a + sign appearing when it shouldn't, u know why.
Day 1 (Sunday)
Church today felt so empty.. Quite a number of people didn't come for service.. But still it was as usual.. DG was kinda empty today; there were only Shaun my bro and me.. And Maung of course. So Sherrie and Rebecca joined us today as they had only 2 people in that group.. After DG I went to buy KFC back to church to eat as they might be leaving at any time (which was what my mum told me but which wasn't the case.) Anyway before we set off some of us went to buy a ball which we can use to play water polo there..
The ride there wasn't long, but to me it seemed damn long cos motion sickness was setting in and I was squeezed in Uncle Francis's car together with Darius' sisters and their cousin I think.. Damn uncomfortable but no choice.. Well we got there eventually and we checked in the rooms 1st.. They were HUGE.. Well words mean nothing so here's a few pics.

one of the rooms

can c how big a room is.. c that couch at the corner?.. thats my bed for the 2 nites.. :P

the view from our room.. Can c ppl playin golf...

Lydia's bro Jonathan took a lot more photos with his Zire71 so these few are incomparable.. After settling down the stuff we went to the pool.. They had a slide which was quite fun.. Reminds me of the rides at "wild wild wet".. Emrys was always jamming the slide by stopping in the middle of it.. LOL damn fun.. Then we'd hold onto each other's ankles as we slid down.. Oh yeah.. Joseph Em and I created this competition whereby we'd balance on the floats in mid-water and try to outlast each other... As most had left before us for dinner when we came up with this, we taught this to them the next day... Dinner was SO DAMN EX!.. I thought meals in M'sia ought to be cheaper compared to S'pore but.. Most dishes cost 11RM.. Some reaching 18RM.. And things like Coke and Sprite cost 4RM.. So EX!.. The teriyaki chicken rice was bout 18RM I think.. And the rice was so... HARD.. But the teriyaki chicken was quite nice.. Anyway.. We went back to our room where Jonathan was playing his GameCube.. We spent the night playing some card games, a lil Mario on his GameCube and some monkeying around on the beds lol.. Oh yeah did I forget to mention there were bout 8 of us sharing that room?..
Day 2 (Monday)
Had the buffet breakfast downstairs.. Emrys was attacking the bacon almost the whole time lol.. He said he wanted to eat his 28RM worth of breakfast.. And the bacon was the so-called most ex food available... After breakfast we went back to the room where, somehow, I fell asleep again.. LOL.. When I awoke they were all gone.. So I suspected they had gone to swim... Went to check and yep, I was right.. Went up to change and came back down.. Em Joseph and I taught the other kiddos how to balance on the floats in mid-water and the kiddos started calling us "masters" LOL.. After that we had lunch at the same EX place and Uncle Francis treated us to lunch, so most of us ordered the cheapest food.. Which was STILL EX.. Anyway later that day we had some bowling competition down at the alley.. Jonathan won the first round, Em second and me third.. I'm not that good at bowling k.. But at the ending part of that round I improved a lil, scoring a strike.. Too lil too late.. Anyway the second round was different.. Somehow, Jonathan didn't play properly I think.. Scoring a spare and a zero every 2 frames.. LOL.. I managed to score 2 strikes this round and in the end getting 1st!.. Em got second again while Jon got 3rd though he had the most spares, he also had the most zeros lol... I think I was yelling, supporting so much until my throat started to ache.. Until now it's aching lol.. I hate sore throats.. I think Joseph got a sore throat too but dunno whether he got it the same way I got it.. For dinner almost all of us had "fish and chips" lol... But it took a hell long time for them to cook it.. But the wait was quite worth it.. It was shiok.. But I think it worsened my sore throat I think... AH!!! After dinner we went back our room where we did mainly the same as the previous night..
Day 3(Tuesday)
Again we had breakfast downstairs.. And again Em attacked the
bacon.. LOL.. Went back to the room and watched some tv.. There was this movie we watched, so damn hilarious... But kinda confusing too... But didn't managed to finish watching as I had to bath as we were checking out.. Again I ended up in Uncle Francis's car.. I think he drove his daughters back the previous night as they weren't around.. So in his car was Em, my mum, my bro, Benjamin's dad and Uncle Francis himself.. We drove to a restaurant where we had some lunch.. I didn't eat much as I had a really bad sore throat and a bloody headache... AND.. I don't wanna be throwing up in the car.. So I just ate a lil... The ride back home was painful.. When I try to clear my throat I feel like throwing up so I was really trying to sleep so that I can pass the time quickly.. Managed to "tahan" all the way till I reached home sweet home... But I still got my freaking headache to deal with... I couldn't sleep properly last night; waking up after bout 30mins of sleep and spending another 30 mins trying to get back to sleep.. THE HORROR... Just hope I'll get well by tomorrow before work or else I'll be having a really bad day at work... ANYWAY.. I guess I'm finally finished.. I think I spent hours trying to blog this shit with the stuuuuuupid + signs appearing... FUCK THIS COMP.

Parents went to M'sia and will be back in.. A few hours I think.. I'll be going to M'sia again this Sun to Tues, dialect retreat.. I heard from Em that Lydia's bro's bringin a GameCube while young David's bringin his X-BOX (like that time at the BB HQ).. Hehe I'll be bringing FIFA '04 just in case.. Hehe.. Maybe I should bring an extra controller?.. LOL.. Anyways today I skipped breakfast to complete a few "tasks" in Ghost Recon before I had brunch... Work later was not bad... The combination of staff today was quite perfect... Jie Ying, Sharon, Yasmin, plus a newbie Julie and a oldbird May... Yasmin told me May was her "teacher" yea?.. Shows how LONG she's been in this line... But that was when they were in Taka.. Ivy tested me what I knew about bar closing, and the menu stuff before giving the green light for me to learn bar orders... Cool. Definitely cool. Making desserts is something I'll look forward to. After work I went to church where they were all wrapping up.. It was great to see them after quite some time... Esp Ron and Em.. And Tim, back from his Kinabalu climb.. We headed to GV where some of us decided to watch the midnight movie for "The Punisher".. Way cool show, but also real violent.. NC16 was quite appropriate. BUT, my bro, Em and Shaun made it in too, thankfully the ticket tearer didn't seem to care. And to think we spent so much time in BK deciding what to do if they got caught and stuff. LOL.. Well, we got there 5 mins early and it was EMPTY. We all thought the theatre would be occupied only by us, but 5 mins later and few other people came.. And Shaun was suggesting we play "catching"! LOL.. TOo bad Shaun!.. When the movie was over it was about 2.30am already.. So we went home... If there's one thing I'm not good at, it's being a movie critic... I find almost all movies good. Haha. That's me I guess!.. Chris out. To bed!

Too long never blog - things accumulate - too many things to blog - lazy to blog - etc etc... BORING... Dunno what to type bout the KELONG trip.. Cos we spent the day there mainly fishing, playing card games and watching soccer.. HOW COULD PORTUGAL LOSE???? Sigh.. After France lost to Senegal last World Cup, what's new eh?.. Oh yeah there was also the fantastic bbq.. There was satay, chicken, corn, sweet p'tates (How did Samwise pronounce that again? Bah..) fish balls and sausages.. Which all tasted damn nice.. Even the simple stuff like the fish balls tasted extra nice.. Seriously.. But they could have skipped the dinner since there was bbq right?... Oh yeah.. Dunno izzit me or wat, but the flies there are very persistant, flying around ur legs and hands, and of course the food.. Can't seem to drive them away.. Something to do with them being Malaysians?.. Haha.. Now that's a mystery... Hmmm.. Oh and the weather there was just as bad as in S'pore, but then there was only a single pathetic fan for each room.. SO HOT.. So I did what I always did at home, shirt off!.. Yep.. Then again, why am I saying this?.. Ah.. And I've got some pics of the Kelong so I'll post them 'ere..

my bro Immanuel on the hammock

one of the many rooms.. most rooms look like this...

it's divided by this area so that 2 grps can stay w/o bothering the other..

can c how near it actually is to the shore...

the landing area.. the jetty is rite in front on shore but not quite visable..

who's this?.. and who's the annoying brat behind?.. lol..

look at the size of this.. thing.. just one of the many.. things that they keep..

c how near the rooms actualli are to each other.. and c that curtain hanging above them?.. it's for privacy?.. not that it makes much difference does it?...

lol.. dunno which 2 jokers havin fun on the hammocks.. too bad there're onli 2..

hermann

houston

the catch of the day..

smoke coming from a distant shore.. wateva could it be?..

adios!

That's the last of it I guess.. More pics were taken by other cams but dunno if they're gonna be posting them?... Nvm then..
After that trip, the past few days have been totally X-BOX.. I've completed Dark Alliance in easy and normal modes so far.. And Ghost Recon Island Thunder rocks... I've completed bout 5 or 6 missions so far and unlocked 2 new soldiers.. Way cool...
Well I guess that's all I can think of for now.. L8R!
