No title no title no title

Guess what, I woke up at 8am automatically today! Seems like my in-built alarm clock is still functioning as per normal. But I procrastinated again, and got woke up by my phone alarm at 8.45. Yet again, I procrastinated. I've been procrastinating again and again this whole week. And procrastinate is so difficult to type.
So finally I woke up at 11.30. But decided to continue reading comics online and forgot all about breadfirst. Until my father came back and nagged at me, did I lie on the bed and slept again until 2.30. Then I woke up to keep the clothes and tidy up my wardrobe. Yuan Lai I have so many unwanted clothes. Tidied the house a bit here and there, and finally, went down for my first meal. Mama didn't leave me pocket money. :o( No money in the house already.....Luckily yesterday got leftover.
But I needed to eat some meat stuffs, and there was only the western food stall. So I was already prepared to be bankrupt again. True enough, a $1 iced milo and $4.50 chicken chop left me with some money to pay Vicky. Well I needed a lot of energy too so the milo was a neccessity, and I don't like hot drinks. I do drink Teh and Kopi, but I wait for them to be cooled down, yah. And the weather was too hot for hot drinks. Duh.
I reached ska at 4pm, and watered the poor plants. Then I started my very own training. Yay I didn't procrastinate that much! So I started stretching, and boy I could hardly stretch my legs. The muscles were so tight and aching. So I did a light warming up and started doing Kata. But was irritated with the achings, so I decided to stop. But I didn't want to waste my time there, so I put on ankle weights and took small dumbells and started bouncing around. Yippee! But no yippee. It was one of the most exhaustive trainings ever. I did about 70 kicks with the shit, and some other techniques and I almost peng san. Then I slacked and walked around. After that I saw that the time was still early, and that I was still fat, so I decided to jog for 15mins. After which Sensei Wong made me do footwork for 4 sets. Hell.....So after the sets I quickly walked to the end of the dojo and did meditation aka Mokuso. Think I kneeled for 5 mins or so, and when I opened my eyes again, the world felt so beautiful. Haha, really. Meditation is really good for the mind, as I finally realised today.
By then it was 5.30. Simon the contractor arrived and wanted to train with me. So we did. And I almost died. 6.30, swept the leaves and sand from ska and changed. Hhahah training for half the day.
But dunno why Mr Wong like not very happy like that. Maybe today too many kids in the class and was quite poorly organised. So training was made tougher. And I felt like stopping. But didn't. Good thing second half he put me to teach the kids kata. Bad thing is even though all of us went through the kata beforehand, I forgot how to perform it. So I was quite embarassed. My brain is malfunctioning again.
Bad thing, no money to eat dinner. Good thing, there was kuay chap! So much pig's organs, and tasty. And then there were clams, veggies, fish and rice. Wah. Eat so much, waste my training.....
Then this senior asked another senior a very funny question.
"Eh David, how's ur sex life ah?"

"HAhah why suddenly out of the blue ask this question?"
"Aiyah, so long never see you, so must ask lah. So how?"
"ok lah good lah"
Then commotion among the many seniors.
"Eh now ah our age, not so easy already."
"Now we talk about quality, not quantity."
"No lah u only 30+, still have quantity lah."
"But always remember, practice makes perfect!"

More commotion.
"Geylang lor? to lor? is all Older women, more cheaper. lor? to lor? is younger about $50 and above. Further down is $80+ Then this lor? can go up to $100+!"
He frequents the place.
I'm young too. But I have no quantity, much less talk about quality. The Chinese say "Tong Ren Bu Tong Ming".
Concentrate on Karate lah.....
Oh yah one more thing. Sometimes I don't understand why stupid people appear online. This anonymous person tagged "Stupid and childish blog" Why the fuck are you even here in the first place? Are you trying to be more stupid when you are already stupid like fuck? I dun care if I know you, and I do, but if you're trying to be stupid, please go elsewhere and challenge someone of equal or higher level of stupidity cos I'm not stupid enough. I'm not gonna comment on tags like this anymore, cos the blog was created solely for the purpose of recording my stupid life, not for stupid people to read and tag stupid tags.

It's a hot hot day

Ee Ya Ee ok enough of this.

Today's weather: 31 degrees. How come it was so hot? I could feel the heat penetrating into my shirt and heating up my body like as though I was a 'Paper-wrapped Chicken'. I miss the taste of it, but where can I find good tasty ones?
Anyway I was weeding outside Ska after lunch at about 1.30pm. Wahhhhhhhhhhhh couldn't stand the heat and I went inside to rest my back. They say: "Planting rice is never fun". And it's true, it's true. But i finished the torturous job by 3 and my back hurt so much that I could imagine myself as a camel.
So Vicky and I were quite happy to get some gardening job completed, and decided to go Kovan for some noodles. A call came that destroyed everything. We were already at Boon Keng mrt station, but his father called and told him to deliver something. 'Ter Ba Bom' All plans had to be cancelled. The worst part was this guy called Vicky's house. K it's like that. We finished gardening; were preparing to leave ska, and this guy phoned Vicky, twice. Since he was trying to escape from work, he didn't answer and wanted to sms the caller instead. Then we walked to the mrt station and then Vicky's father called him. This guy actually called V's house to ask for the van. It's like he has no shame at all. Can't you just wait for a reply? Does V even owe you a job or something that he has to be there as and when you call? Worse still you ask for help but you come so late. Fucked up.
After work we went to eat at Komala's. Hahahahahahhahahahahaahahah I have $0 now. Mum gave me $10 today. I was supposed to have my own dinner, but I didn't have money to eat a shit. So had to borrow money from V, and bought two pratas. Telor satu, kosong satu. And dunno why I told the cashier $1.20 instead of $1.60. Didn't even realise it until he was finding change for me. But he is supposed to be more clearer than me. So i saved 40c and my energy of correcting myself. hahaHHHAHahhahahahha so bad.
K i've had quite enough of emailing my course manager. It's so hard to get a date to meet him. And he doesn't seem to feel the importance of the situation. Ask him so many times when is he free but he always tells me another thing. OTGHN (QWEY)*(Y
It's quite a stupid blog today because it is so hot. And I'm supposed to sleep by 1am. And I didn't wake up to jog this morning, did it during training instead. hohohohoh.
Mr wong's back from osaka. time for serious self-discipline.

Ee Ya Ee Ya Yo 4

Old McDonald had a farm
Ee Ya Ee Ya Yo~

I'm gonna keep today's blog short, hopefully.
K I finally ate Lao Huang's Bak Kut Teh this morning. Spent $12 in total with Vicky. Though it tasted good, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive. I have been eating in luxury these few days. Damn it.
After this we went to Bugis Virtualand and play the Stacker. Guess what, we spent about $60 in total!!!!! FUCK man. That's the most I have ever spent in the arcade! We were like just putting in and putting in and putting in and putting in and putting in and putting in and putting in and putting in and soon it reached that amount. I was planning like just to get a phone for myself. And soon my goal changed to getting an expensive to sell it to recover our lost! Wtf in the end we didn't manage to win anything. The game is sort of cheating man. I've already reached the last block, and it wasn't moving very quickly, but it just refused to be joined to the previous block. The block kept stopping before or after the below block even though I was quite sure I stopped it at the right timing. This happened many times. And I just didn't felt like giving up because we were so close already. But the fact is that we were broke. Penniless. *pulls out pockets* EMPTY!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH what am i going to do??!!?!? It was until that time when it suddenly dawned to me that money wasn't easy to earn, cos I was thinking wtf can I do to recover the money. Wat, wat, wat???!?!?! Worse still I just found out my father's out of job again. Hai.....
Anyway from there we went to SKA, only to realise that SIA training will start in 1/2 hrs time. Today I helped out in the training. There were 8 of them, 4 men, 4 women. And 2 of them were quite pretty wahahahahah. Managed to show off a bit today. But the bloody weather was so torturous that I gave up showing off.
After this I had wanted to do my own training, but the weather was just too hot to do anything. So I went to the black belt's room, turned on the aircon, and slept, peacefully. 7pm training! yay today's training was sooooo shiok! So long never train under Sensei Robert. I enjoyed it totally. And in between he asked me to teach a new guy the basics. He can do them quite nicely and has also learnt the basic pattern! hahhahaahha yay.
Then we had coconut juice again. Fresh from SKA. I brought one coconut home, but seems like we dun have to tools to open it. So I guess it's going down the chute.
I tried catching a cockroach just now. I was bloody scared of it. I was so frightened that it might just fly to my face or run up my hand. Eew I hate all these crawlies. I'm afraid of them cos they might have poison, and then scarly they bite me then I die.
Ok it's short enough. I need to sleep. Jogging at 8.50am tomolo! Jia You!

Ee Ya Ee Ya Yo 3

With a Cluck Cluck here, Cluck Cluck there
Here Cluck there Cluck everywhere Cluck Cluck

Cluck!
I didn't sleep by 1am last night.
I didn't wake up by 9.00am to train this morning. While I did wake up, I felt so tired and the day was raining, or so I thought. So I set my alarm to 9.40 and went back to sleep.
9.40am. I woke up! And walked to my parents bedroom to sleep.
Until 12pm Vicky called me and asked me to go for breadfirst, did I drag my fat ass off the bed. Met him at 1pm and had a hard time deciding where to eat. Finally we settled for Little India since he wanted to eat a lot of rice.
So we took the NEL to Little India and then walked under the cursed sun to a restuarant called.....called what ah? Anyway it is located beside the Indian temple. We had very good Dum Briyani and lime juice. The serving was enough for Ang Mohs. Vicky also ordered a side dish for us each. Total cost was $21, but the kind onwer who happened to be Vicky's neighbour gave us a very good discount of $1. So we were happy. Actually the meal would be just right if we minus the side dish of sotong and tandoori chicken and the lime juice, as all Indian restuarant serves self-serviced free-flow plain water and white rice; and with this the meal would cost $12 only, and probably with a little tactic could further reduce it by $2. Anyway the food was really good.

So if anyone is interested to eat there please don't hestitate to find out the location of the restuarant yourself.
After the meal we decided to walk to PS. We were walking along the shops and this particular shop caught my attention. The shop's name is Tushiv, and is on the same row of shops with the restuarant above. So if somehow you can find this shop, just follow the direction of the traffic and walk till the end of the road. And there you have it! The restuarant!
Back to Tushiv. I went in and looked around the shop as the items displayed were very non-traditional. They are selling 'portraits' of various deities including Indian gods and goddesses, Sayed Baba, the Buddha and Mother (or is it Sister?) Mary. Let me try describing the portrait. It is like a big piece of metal/stone, and carved into it is the illustration itself. So it's something like, whether you place the item facing you or away from you, there will be the illustration itself. But the main illustration is on the carved side. I was quite impressed with the handwork and quality of the material. But what caught my attention next is the mean idea of the item. The illustration 'follows' you no matter which angle you look at it from. Which means if I stood 45degrees to the left of the item, the illustration will be looking to the left at you. If I stood in the centre, it will be looking straight at you. It's superb art. But I guess it must be very costly, and I don't see any price tags.
Moving on from here, I saw a shop selling sugar cane juice. The owner pasted some posters and three of them read: "Sugar Cane Juice (break line) with (break line) lemon", "Sugar Cane Juice (break line) with (break line) Ice", and the best of the best, "Sugar Cane Juice (break line) with (break line) without Ice". Crap. Then further down, I saw an advertisement for a handphone's shop. They wrote Buying/Selling Good/Bad Hand Chicken. I'm sure you've seen this advertisement before.They didn't know how to write the word for phone in Chinese, and they have a shop.
So finally we arrived at PS, perspiring and smelly as though we came from Little India. But we did come from Little India. Hmm nvm.
We ended up in the arcade and played Royal Rumble, ahahahahah. It's quite fun, but I have no idea why I lost, twice. Then I went to try the 'Stacker'. It's a kind of try-your-luck game whereby you have to stack blocks of blocks on top of each other. The prizes are very attractive, well at least the Major ones. They consisted of: a 3120, a 3200, a mp3 player, and something else which didn't catch my attention. I saw a few guys playing first, because actually I didn't know how to play it. They were lousy. But at least I learnt something from them, Thanks! Then I went to try. I almost hit the Major Prize level, when I got too excited and landed the block elsewhere. Damn it. I could have gotten a free phone! The subsequent 2nd and 3rd try were much poorer, been too complacent. But tomolo I might try again. I really need a phone. And if I can manage to get it, Vicky has requested for me to get the mp3 player for him. And I might just try again for the other phone, and sell it! WHahahahahah. $1 for $++ I could just get rich man! Ahem.....
After that Vicky wanted to buy velcros for his Hotwheels collection. We searched the whole of Spotlight and suddenly out of nowhere I noticed it lying on a shelf all by itself. And after making some enquiries here and there, he bought 2 metres of the velcro. Then we went to Carrefour. I needed to buy toilet papers. I also bought a Lin Zheng Ying's movie. I love his ghostbusting movies. I have a few of his movies at home. They are very very nice and funny. He is the only man who can play a ghostbuster so well. I used to imitate him and tried burning this and that and stamped my foot on the ground etc etc. But he died from cancer in 1997, if I remembered the date correctly. In fact I dreamt about his funeral. It was as though I was attending it, felt so real. And then soon after the dream I read in the newspapers that he died.
After this, we wanted to go back. But saw an arcade in Dhoby Gaut station itself so we decided to check it out. It's quite a nice environment, though not many people were inside. Beside the arcade was the X Box entertainment centre where you can play X box games. Not sure about the rates though. I think this two shops are very nicely situated, and unique.
We didn't go home, but went to ska. I fell asleep in the nice library and about 7pm Vicky left. I woke up at 7.15pm to water the plants. And then remembered I was supposed to be having dinner with my family. So quickly rushed back home, perspiring and smelly as though I just came from Little India.
Went to eat at some coffeeshop near my house. Dunno what Fishhead Steamboat. Tasted like Sliced fish soup to me.
So now I'm back. And I'm going to bathe~ And watch Bi Xue Jian!
hahahhahah hopefully tomolo I will wake up early to train. I'm growing fatter by the day.....

Happy Birthday Mama!

10/10/2004 = Mama's 47th birthday~

What a beautiful night it is!
Just celebrated her birthday. She is very happy! Haha can see that she's very touched. Though she didn't cry. Awww. :o) Love you mama.
But actually the day didn't turn out as I thought. Let's start from 5.30am.
I only had two hours of sleep today. Woke up at 5.30am to wash up. Was supposed to meet Vickywajeet at 6am to go to Changi Aiport. Received his call telling me that another guy was late so he would arrive with his van later, so I just walked around the house aimlessly. Then he smsed me to go down after 5mins as he wanted to buy Teh Alia. So I waited some more and finally walked down slowly the bus stop. My hands felt so smooth as I rubbed it, it's cold.....But who cares about my hands.
So I waited in between two Sunshine Bread vans as it would be a clearer spot for him to spot me. And I almost embarked on my journey to the west. The driver siao one. Reversed so quickly that the van almost banged me. I heard the beeping produced from the reversing and turned to look at the van and there it was inches before me in 2 seconds. Luckily my Qing Gong good ah, and I managed to apply Tenshin and moved out of harm's way. Then that bugger Zam break and horned. nb. But later I realised the van was parked too far into the pavement so had to reverse, and I was standing in the way, so I'm at fault too. Still, he should have horned before reversing and not horn when I'm about to die.
Waiting and waiting I decided to sms Vicky. And then his van arrived. In the end he thought he told me to buy the Teh Alia. So in the end all of us had no Teh Alia and we were all sleepy and empty-stomached and angry with each other and Vicky tried to kill us by turning his steering wheel left and right and left and right and left and right anafjfe wenf wovwevoawevoagigv.
Well, Kam the geek's finally off to Hong Kong. Quite a sad moment actually. And I didn't realise sending someone off could be fun as the seniors placed an empty drinking can into his laptop carrier. We were anticipating for the moment when the siren goes off during the luggage checking, and see him panicking, but strangely, nothing happened.
We went back to SKA after that. And I watered the plants. It's actually quite nice to be early and arrive earlier than anyone else. Today's training was very controlled. Strange. Mr Wong wasn't around but the children seemed very well behaved today. And I didn't cock up this time. Maybe I was confused by Mr Wong's instruction all these time. Anyway everything went smoothly. After teaching we had our potato water. It consists of lemon kalamansi, Vodka Citron and Absolut. ahahahaha. So early havent eat anything start already. Was also watching the top 10 Kata players of the World. They were like, wow! Except for one or two. Wonder how long will I take to acheive such standards. For Singaporeans, I think it's Very very very vyerv yerv eyrveyr vyreveyr difficult. Moreover, women tend to perform better Kata too. And they were all in their 30s. Hah. After this we went to have breadfirst, and had two more pints of Tiger Beer. Oh yeah it's TB's bday yesterday right? So we had a reason to drink! No actually I made this up. We don't need any reason to drink. So CHEERS! Frankly speaking I was tipsy alraedy, and was prepared to get screwed by my parents when I get home later.

They weren't home at 1.30pm. I guessed that they went for a meal or something, so I slacked around and waited for them to come back. And I fell asleep and woke up at 6.30pm to find them having dinner. Seems like they have already gone for the ktv session. Some miscommunication here. So we didn't celebrate her birthday, I thought. Then later at night I finally tot of what to get for her. Went down and looked around for a cake. Went 3 shops and in the end bought a nice Tiramisu. Then.....started celebrating her birthday lor. Father bought a karaoke vcd with happy birthday in it and we started singing as well. ahhaha the ambience was great as we switched off all the lights. We took a lot of photos too and mama complained that she was taking too many of them and she's seeing black. ahahhah. Happy day. and Happy Birthday! We opened a red wine and now i'm feeling sort of drowsy again. hahah been drunk the whole day. But she's happy! And that's the bottom line.
K gotta end here. Tomolo's the start of my training.....

Ee Ya Ee Ya Yo 2

And on his farm he had some chickens
Ee Ya Ee Ya Yo

Yah it's 1am, and I'm still blogging. Damn it.
Good thing I slept long enough today.
So let me start by saying that I need to wake up my bloody idea. I realise I have been very dreamy this few days. Was supposed to meet Vicky at 8am for Bak Kut Teh. Well I did set my alarm clock for 7.48am in case he didn't call me. Somehow I turned it off unknowingly. But this also means he didn't call me. But at the same time, my hp batt was flat. But he could have called my house anyway. So when I woke up for no reason at 9am, I wondered was I supposed to meet him directly at the coffeeshop or what. But in the end I went back to sleep again. And woke up at 1pm. HAHAhaHHA. So fucking piglet. And then all the while I thought the SIA training was at 2.30pm. Vicky called me at 1.30 when I was about to leave and reminded to open the gates. So I quickly finished my Chwee Kuay and cycled off. When I reached ska I saw two SIA crew members sitting outside.
Not wanting to make the environment awkward, I asked: "You all sit here very long already ah?"
"No lah, 2 hours only." The fourty-year-old replied.
I didn't talk to him further cos I found him to be too stupid and proceeded to opening the gates.
But he asked: "You're the one opening the gates ah?"
*Ah then? Your father ah? Knn wtf do I look that I was doing? Masturbating? Or breaking the gates?* (Smiling) "Yah, hahaha."
Then I went in and suddenly Sensei Robert appeared out of nowhere behind me.
Then I started to raise the bamboo curtains and sweep the floors, all the while still thinking that training was at 2.30. Later I found that training was at 2pm. Suck it I intended to do some training on my own after all the housekeeping chores. But seeing that there were no girls around at all, I decided to carry on sweeping the leaves and pang sat Sensei Robert. I watered the plants also. When I was done, Vicky arrived looking like a blur fuck in his van, also thinking that training was at 2.30. I also found out that he was already preparing for work by 8, so didn't call me. So actually I'm fine! hahahaha. We had our lunch, went to buy baygon and I mopped the library and guest room. Even my house I don't do so much. ahahah.
Went home after that and replied an important email regarding my trip. I'm not getting much help from the course manager and I wonder what is gonna happen to my SIP. Suck it man TP SUCKS!!!!!
So was supposed to meet my friends 5.30pm at Marina Bay control station. But got one guy called Kenneth ah, say what got direct train lah and left home later than me ah. But ended up late at the same time as myself. Hmph. And we were not the latest.
So again couldn't decide where to eat. The birthday girl don't look happy at all. At last we left marina south at 6.30 i think, to PS for long john silvers. And then intended to watch movie but also cancelled. Ended up sitting at Piazza watching soccer. Fucked up outing. Felt so bad for the girl. Didn't even have a cake for her. And so few people turned up. And we were conversing in Mandarin most of the time. Ugh. I suck bad. Hey Siti sorry your day turned out like that.
Back to why I need to wake up my idea. I think my brain is not functioning very well. Keep mixing up things and forgetting others and such. I need more sleep.
And I also need to wake up at 5.40am tomolo to go to the airport. Kam's migrating to Hong Kong. Gonna miss him and his corny jokes. After which, is SKA, and celebrating my mama's birthday!
Good night.
