Here I am sitting in a dark room because the starter in the ceiling bulb refuses to work, eventhough I just cahnged it myself a week ago. I can feel my degree rising by the minute just by staring at my laptop screen while posting this entry. maybe i'll need 10cm thick glasses by the end of the week if this goes on. damn. have to go starter-shopping real soon. -.-

Ok. I wanted to post about these few events yesterday, as a whole post about the whole week. But since I've been quite lazy lately, and being preoccuppied with Police Academy the series, I finally find time to do it.

We went to a restaurant that just opened along Sembawang Street right beside SSC (Sembawang Shopping Centre). It's called Fish 'N' Chicks. get it? they sell fish & chicken. oh you'll get it someday. haha. Anyway, since my younger brother sucks big time at taking pictures (he really really sucks. takes pictures like painting a masterpiece), there isn't that much photos of the whole family. These are all from Nurul, my dear cousin =]. Enjoy.

the only picture that has '1/4' of the family members present. excuse my mouth, was busy eating =]

my row. the one standing like a drill sgt at the end of the row is my cousin, abg haziq. he just got out of camp. hahaha

the 2 brothers. hahaha. terkejot bang?????

the three stooges?

me and iifaa's little brother, hilman. when they call out 'man', we both turn our heads. how annoying. haha.

anyone knows the female version of 'the three stooges'?

aqidah's baby brother, shukran. he's cute isn't he. by the way, he rarely smiles or laughs. weirdddd for a baby right?

reminiscing the ol' times eh? haha.

from left: my mum & my aunt

kak lin with alisha. cute little button. =]

the cousins and I, well mainly nurul, firdaus, me, iifaa & her friend afiq, we originally wanted to give HortPark a visit. BUT, we got off-track and we straight to the tree-top walk instead towards the Henderson Waves. Pictacos galora! =]

nurul's handphone despises my face. it 'occassionally' halves my face in pictures.

from left: iifaa, afiq, firdaus & me

from left: afiq, nurul, firdaus & me

me and that brat iifaa. hahaha.

the 5 of us in a 'grounded' cable car. I was too scared to get on the real one. hahaha

that's iifaa. she's trapped. any 'knight in shining armour' willing to save her?

Here are examples of the rivalry between nurul's phone and me. -.-

that's all i have. well not really. i only take those worth showing to the world. hahaha.
anyway, we eventually got to Henderson Waves. slacked and ate. and we set off for Mount Faber. haha. i swear i felt like I was guiding a group of tourists when we reached the Jewel Box/Cable Car station atop mount faber. hahaha. woahs and wahs. ok, not that many woahs and wahs actually. i was exaggerating. =]
went by Marang trail to get to Vivo. they renovated the steps going off Mt Faber to the carpark below into a sloped pathway. damn cool. rolling down the mountain.............
anyway, we went food-hunting at Vivo before finally settling down at LJS. -.-
slacked at the sky park. dipped our smelly feet into the 'smelly' water. and we talked. hahaha. someone was feeling unwell, so we decided to go off early.
all 5 of us took 963 down to woodlands. and home home home home we went. =]

guess what. i got tagged. -.-

When you find yourself

in some far off place

And it causes you

to rethink some things

You start to sense

that slowly you're becoming someone else

And then you find yourself

when you make new friends

and brand new town

And you start to think

about settling down

The things that would've been lost on you

are now clear as a bell

And you find yourself

That's when you find yourself

i'm off. =]

till then,

hurrah!

rare spell of outside activity

Monday, March 23, 2009/ 12:50 AM

First & foremost, WELCOME BACK HOME BRO!!!! hahaha. =]

I'm sure you missed everyone here, especially your dearest sayang Ms Teo, but heck, you're going to miss Brunei even more in the upcoming few days. You'll get over it. =] hahahahahaha

Went to Changi Airport this morning to greet Zul with Ms Teo. Sorry Ms Teo for being late. haha. Now she knows why I don't have a gf. Because I'm always late. -.-

They said his flight would touch down at 1005. But i guess the pilot was speeding because they reached Singapore at 0942. Don't pilots get speeding tickets in the air? It's dangerous even in the air you know. XD

Greeted, hugged, talked and then we went to BK for 'breakfast'. Ms Teo and me mostly. Zul was tired. And i can see all you needed was Ms Teo. So i sent them off in a cab, and took the bus back to Woodlands. Man, that was the most 'un-sleepy' bus ride in my life. haha. Maybe it was the time.

Anyway,

Family dinner on Saturday was great. Eventhough some people were late, the food was well worth it. Going back there next weekend. Ribeye here I come. hahaha.

Sorry but my brother sucks at taking pictures. And so there's not many pictures. I'll get some from Nurul or my uncle. He took some.

I didn't know on top of Sembawang Shopping Centre (SSC), they actually made a water park. Not THAT big, but a nice one. Playground + water park + exercise corner. All beside a restaurant. haha. How convenient.

In other news, Arsenal won Newcastle! Yeah baby! hahaha. the best news i've heard so far. ok, maybe Arsenal winning is the only good news i've had so far. hahahaha.

And now, I'd want to watch the highlights to that match and the highlights to Man Utd self-destructing at Fulham. woooooooooo. hahaha

till then,

hurrah!

Good to be back

Friday, March 20, 2009/ 10:52 PM

Ok so this is my first proper post since my 'leave of absence' from blogging for a couple of weeks. No reason why, but I just wanted some time-off from the obligation to blog about my life. =]

And so, yesterday was a hectic day. Only slept 3 hours before i have to go to school for SEG's FOC prep which starts at 10. Met Nurul before going to school. Man, my body felt damn heavy the whole day. Practically dragging my sleepy ass to school. Before reporting in, we met up with Nurul (Aini)'s friend Hidayah. And off we went. haha.
As usual, it started late yet again. haha. Just the way it was the year before and the year before that. Thought of cutting it short because I had a bbq at ECP at 4. Well, the guys can start the fire without me. haha. And so like what the title for the day says, it was prep for the games we were going to guide the new year 1s through when they arrive for the camp on the 7th to 8th of april next month. Water, water flour. And I felt how Benjamin Button felt during the movie 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'. I literally 'aged' throughout the day. From black hair to all white, thanks to the flour. -.-
And yesterday really wasn't a day for being bare-footed. Splinters galore like it was a buffet table specially for splinters. damnit.

Finished at around 6. Damn late already, so i took a cab down to ECP. Got charged 28 bucks man! WTH. Usually the CTE won't be jammed at that time but yesterday was different. Do you notice how 'nosey' Singaporeans can be? Just because there was an accident on the other side of the road, drivers think they can slow down and have a 'quick' peek at what was going on. And that caused a major jam from Mandai exit all the way to Woodlands. Damn road users. Throughout the whole journey, I was having a humorous conversation with the cab driver about all the things that would and could happen when accidents happen. And we happened to get stuck in one. Lucky us. Thanks Mr Tan for crapping with me to ECP. hahaha.

BBQ was nothing special. Got there in time to 'help' the guys 'start' the BBQ. haha. damn noob uh you all. tsk10.
And so we started cooking, and i started to be known as the 'head-chef' just because I spent the entire time at ECP in front of the bbq pit.
Ate, 'talked' and played. haha. Told you it was nothing special. Not even pistures. What do you expect? Rugby guys. (Notice there were no ladies there. So yeah =])
Took off at 1045. Reached Parkway Parade at 11. Got on 966 with Z and a new guy. They went off at Eunos. I went all the way to Woodlands. I actually reached woodlands in time for the last train to Ang Mo Kio. Thank goodness. haha. And was home by 1210, or sometime around there. haha.
Now here I am blogging about what happened on the 19th and waiting for the family, and I mean FAMILY trip to Fish 'N' Chicks tomorrow. Oh yeah, FOOOOOOOOOD glorious FOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! =]

Well, that's one 'hectic' day. haha.

Now, I've not been sleeping properly for the past week, or maybe 2. What'd I do? hehe.
Movieeee Mayhemmmm! Here's a list of all the movies I watched throughout the week:

He Got Game
Remember the Titans
Big Daddy
Bubble Boy
The Mighty Ducks
D2: The Mighty Ducks
D3: The Mighty Ducks
The Matrix
Matrix Reloaded
Matrix Revolutions
The Hot Chick
Gran Torino
Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li
Hotel for Dogs
Madea Goes to Jail
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
I Am Legend

Movies I intend to watch soon:

Sister Act 1 2 3 (hopefully i can get the VCDS from twin)
The Legend of Bagger Vance
Race to Witch Mountain
& others I bump into along the way=]

till then,
hurrah!

1972 Gran Torino

Tuesday, March 17, 2009/ 4:54 AM

This song really makes my brain relax. Ending theme song for Clint Eastwood's newest movie, Gran Torino. I've put the song on my iPod on this blog too, only things is that that version has Clint Eastwood singing the first verse followed by Jamie Cullum finishing the rest of the song.

The movie itself comes out here in Singapore on the 26th of March 2009. I recommend everyone to go watch it. Simply magnificent.

till then,
hurrah!

letter of postponement

Saturday, March 7, 2009/ 12:24 AM

I need some solid foods right now. Really solid carbohydrate-y and protein-y foods. Starving, eventhough I had MacD's for dinner. And my sorethroat's not even helping with the decision process. I hate this.

I need some time to myself. My biological clock is all rocked up. I seriously need to wind down the windshield and chill. So, here's my 2 weeks notice. May things be better when I'm back.

till then!
hurrah!

whack

Tuesday, March 3, 2009/ 6:47 PM

hahahaha. something funny for the day of boring days.

till then!
hurrah!

i think i'm falling ill. help...

Singaporeans

/ 12:48 PM

I'm never going to the NTUC supermarket alone again. haha.

1. I look like a dumb bat walking around searching for stuff my mum asked me to get. literally.

2. Are Singaporeans blind or deaf when they go grocery shopping? Man, they walk right past you and knock into you. Worst still, they saw me there searching for stuff and yet they vrooooom past. haha. Being who I am, I just let these things go. What for get into a tussle with aunties. hahaha. I can do it way easier on the field. =]

3. I'm no super shopper. =]

Ok, I'm back home now. Wondering if I should go to the gym later on. Lazy/tired/alone makes it a less than considerable activity to do on days like these.
And on another note, I may never know when I'm going to get my handphone. The thing with my dad is he makes these promises and then when the time comes to 'fulfill' them, he somehow finds an excuse or reason to 'postpone' it for another few days/weeks/months. hahaha. Same thing happened with 'family outings'. Damn frustrating. haha. If I were to be in charge of these things, I wouldn't be referred to as a caveman from certain people for now. Well, things happen. =]

Found a 50 cent coin while out shopping with my mum. haha. Rezeki (blessing?) lah katekan. =] And I guess a day and a half of sleep is not even enough for me. hahaha. I still feel sleepy now. Damnit. Need to go out more. Need to be more active.

Seems like I'm in my blogging 'mood' now. Will update on the past week later on.

haha. in my 'sleepiness', I accidentally posted this into my rugby blog. How stupid of me. tsk10.

till then!
hurrah!
