random people are happy people September 25, 2008

I passed my trial at Red Dynasty’s paintball park recently and was invited down to work during the weekends.

Job of the day:

-assemble mask, lens and straps

-sweep the floors or planks

-Check group booking for the day(3-5 bookings/field)

-Check which field I would be assigned to, there are 3 fields in total

Field 3 is used for tournament players(the one on the left with inflated strutures)

Field 1 and 2 are available for public booking(those bigger fields on the right with oil drums)

Once the first groups starts coming in, we settle the admin matters, orientate the group, Equipment and safety briefings blah blah blah

Once they are ready, we moved in as linesmen and marshall.

Alot of running about to keep the game in place. I got shot for the first time while helping a lady with her marker(gun) in the playing field.

The opponents though I was the enemy when i ran out from the bunkers and as soon as I could say “omg,here goes my life,my future,my career,my mac-spicy and my Ebies Jibbies friends”  paint balls started flying in on me. Sob,  woman are trouble! except my future wife and my mother and selina and nalini and nanthini and aunt anne and Lim Yang Yang and the waffle aunty at W1 …..

Update**

I just quit today actually, can’t say why  because I don’t wish to get sued by RD and tied to the pillar for target practice.Lets just say I can’t cope with the schedule.

With my FYP and school schedules I have no idea why I took up a second job. Guess I got too carried away with keeping myself busy.

Homefix is still the best!

I took my eyebrow piercing off too.

Gosh this is random

O yea I got job lobangs for the bunch of people who reads my blog.

Surveyor for a  relative’s music company.

Basically you get people to fill up forms/surveys and earn 50 cent/piece.

However you do not need to complete everything and submit it on that day itself. It’ll be a weekly collection so 10 forms a day gives you 5 dollar, in a week you get 35 dollars.

Using the “effort put in” vs “money received” , I would say its pretty reasonable.

Very very belated birthday post for selina September 21, 2008

Haven been blogging for a while and since I got abit of time now before heading out, I’ll do a coverage of selina’s birthday.

 

To celebrate her becoming less young, her family booked the entire restaraunt for her party.

Me and Ganesh volunteered to be free wage labour for a day climbing ladders and fixing decos, okay la we were treated to a cup of fruit punch each

What we were given:

-Garlands of various color

-One set of happy birthday “banner”

-Some helium balloons which I think suffered from erectile dysfunctional 

 

 

We tried our best to visualize what a girl’s 21st birthday party would look like but I have no idea why it ended up looking more like a 16 year old birthday party.

 

Lousy decorations aside, the restaurant original decorations more then adequate so it was alrite(we though)

Right smack in the premises of bishan park it was somewhat classy yet had a tinge of “el natural” .

 

 

 Me and Naga were suppose to be the guestbook’s receptionist but after 30 minutes or so we ran in to grab dinner. HAHA so much for job satisfaction!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy birdday selina banana!!

And thanks for telling your mum that I said she was busty

Fuck! sitting throught that 5 mins in front of everyone with your mum telling me how lucky it is that all the females in your family and older generations were all blessed with big assets

That was the the weirdest 5 mins of my life

 

 

Few day later we got a treat from selina’s family.

The Vines seafood and steak restaurant down at novena.

After being seated we were presented with the menu which had me oohing and ahhing for a few minutes.

Was comtemplating between steaks and seafood platter when I saw the perfect solution.

 

 Mix grilled combo!

Lamb chop

Beef steak

Chicken chop

Grilled prawn

Grilled salmon

Baked potato with generous serving of mayonise and bacon

 

its always good to help a friend out, One who knows her food well..

 

 

hehehehee

raindrop keep falling on my head…. September 13, 2008

 

The world is yours when you learn to take things in your stride.

 

The sky wept and the raindrops kept falling,

leaving leaves wet with dew and gutters flowing with life,

Its just one of life’s down, that strange emotion.

I will not take shelter nor will I run for cover,

for I know, there would be something to look forward to.

 

Mother nature’s gifts will comfort me, 

the warmth of the sun beams down and pats me on the back,

the chirping melodies of the birds sings a perfect tune.

It is all of you, the 7 colours of the rainbow who never fail to show up after the rain.

 

 

 

 

Secrets of rainbows cupcakes:

Using a “made in china” blender, mix batter well.

I choose to switch mine to fast and gloomy mode. HEHE!

 

 

Then choose the colors and flavor of the rainbow you want to create.

Mine was durain and vanilla flavour.

 

 

If possible hire a pretty Indian girl to do the hard labour.

 

 

 

Also standby a senile grandma to replace the lazy Indian girl(probably lazing somewhere)

 

 

Set oven to 200 degrees and dump it all in.

 

 

hmmmmmmmmm…

Leme check the receipe again…

 

 

Preheat the oven to 200degrees not heat it to 200degrees

Note to self** in the future read all receipe’s instruction properly before attempting.

 

 

  

Try again if you don’t suceed.

This time round try to set the blender to slow and happy hippy mode.

Use the senile grandma from earlier to secure the batter, this will get the blender to mix thoroughly.

**The senile grandma may fall asleep at this point of time so you can choose to throw her out at the end of the day along with the indian girl and made in china blender

HAHAHAHA!! just kidding people!!!

I love you all!!! and the gayish hippy inspired cupcakes…

jello milo weighs two kilo September 9, 2008

I’ve skipped the last two day of lesson.

Can’t wait to get out of this place. Wish I could jumpstart my career and go straight to learning what I have to for my future job. This diploma is just a dumb passport and I do not like what I’m learning here.

Anyway I got to attend my cousin funeral later on so I guess this skipping of lesson is partly justified.

FlASHBACK!!

 

Sent liying off with her friends.

 

Her flight was scheduled at 5am and we reached around 12pm(last bus)

Spent 6 hours exploring the airport and doing really stupid things

Wasn’t as much tears and drama as I expected. It was a farewell with smiles and hugs but none for me

Went straight to school from there without any sleep.

 

 

Needless to say, the day in class was spent like this.

8am- reached class, knocked out

8.30am-lesson started, still knocked out

9am-Went to pantry to sleep

9.30-10am- lunch time, still knocked out

The sum up that faithful day, it was a day full of knock out

I got to thank Dai Dai ,somehow he managed to find me at the pantry sleeping, if he didt, God knows when I would wake.

 

Suck balls la…

Nostalgia September 8, 2008

 

There is a cuboard in my parent’s room where all the photo albums are kept.

I would flip through them every now and then, albums in every size and colour.

Always warms me from the inside to see old photos of cousin, siblings and me.

In most of those picture I was just a toddler and they being at least 8 years older.

We were all very close and it seem that we were together on almost every occasion, at least from what I saw from the countless photos and stories I heard about us.

 

Being the one of the youngest of all the cousin, it was always fun hanging out with them.

When I started to grow up, they were all either busy with their career or starting families. Maybe it is because of the large age gap between me and them.

I was always excited during chinese new year because its the only time where everyone were available and could gather at Terrence’s house to talk cock, gamble, update each other.

These gathering got more frequent because the few of them got married, had kids and so much more

It always looked exactly like the photos in my album except everyone were grown up and I was no longer the toddler sitting on their laps.

The five cousins were from my paternal side,

Jeffrey(Ah boy)

Janet(Ah net)

Jenny(Ah girl)

Terrence(Ah long)

Alvin(ah vin)

 

 

This faithful 7th sept evening we gathered once again at the block 47 of Cambridge road.

This was where I was born and where all the cousin used to stay.

Ahh yes the families used to live under the same block.

 

Some things have changed:

The longkang where we used to fish were gone,

The pavements were now nicely done up,

The green fields where we always played on were now apartments.

 

I wasnt complaining though,

After all,every on of the cousins was present

Familiar but distance faces were there

Busy people took leave to attend this gathering.

Friend and family of all walks of life sitted having dinner together.

 

 

No it wasnt anyone of our birthday, a wedding buffet or baby’s first month.

 

Alas, it was a gathering to send a love one on his final and last journey. 

 

 

 

.

 

In loving memories of Jeffrey Lee aka ah boy

You treated me and my siblings like your own brother.

Your determination was always inspirational.

You held your own although the world ran you down,

Your smile  will always be in my memories just like the photo in my albums.

Laid down to rest but never forgotten.

Rest in peace

Look into my magical glassball September 4, 2008

Been thinking alot of what I want to do.

20 years old already.

I want to build my career .

This was my plan many years ago and now I’m bringing it back to the drawing board.

Which explains why I was in this course in the first place.

After graduation,

Sign on RSAF for 6 years(2 year ns+4 year bond).

Vocation being senior tech or flight test engineer.

After finishing my 6 years bond.

1-Extend contract if the job hasnt kill me.

2-Switch to commercial sector SIAEC or CAAS.

3-Throw money and obtain commercial pilot license

4-Degree if education is my priority

In NS my starting pay would be 1.9K per month of which will rise according to rank.

That being said I will be paid for my first 3 years of studies

Thats 25K per year + 40%(some tuition fee shit)= 35K per year

Gosh I am so so so so tempted to sign on for the sake of my future.

THERE DONE!! all I need is just to hit the send button in my mind.

My pilot dream is partially swept under the mat.

His last September 4, 2008

 

 

All he needed was an answer or a sign, was it really that hard?

Their story should have ended well, a unique friendship or a companion for life.

He was prepared to give his everything but she, she choose neither.

 

Time and fate isn’t all that great,

Aren’t your heart and faith the one who writes these empty pages?

It is nothing but a blank piece of paper afterall.

The pieces don’t fit anymore and Logic just can’t explain no more.

He’s given up.

 

Lift these blinds and take those mufflers off.

Seeing is believing and hearing is relieving.

That sunflower probably  withered and still has no meaning in the end

He’s done.

Twice two is four September 2, 2008

 

By the law of nature or the conclusions of natural sciences and mathematics,

we are descendant of apes, aren’t we?

 

Twice two is four, try arguing that out. 

Nature doesnt care whether you like her laws.

You must take her as she is and consequently her results.

I mean a boulder is a boulder and a stone wall is after all a stone wall.

 

 

For some reason I don’t really like the notion of mother nature and her laws of twice two,

That boulder right in front of my face, I simply detest.

I shan’t break through that boulder, cause I’m not strong enough.

I won’t be reconciled to it because I hadn’t had enough strength to break it down

Because twice two, a boulder is a boulder?  ABSURB!

 

The point is to understand everything and realize every stone wall,

Not reconcile yourself to any one of it’s impossibilities.

 

Perhaps I am a distant dreamer and a believer?

Or perhaps if you would, I choose volition.

 “Twice two equals five”

 

 

 

 

Went down to comex to get Selinana her birthday present.

The model we wanted was clearing fast, even the display set was gone.

 Mr DSLR was sleeping at home because he was busy hugging buddha’s leg the night before.

Without him we did not have enough $$ and expertise to get the presents.

He came about 1.5 hr later (i’m under-estimating) and we did get what we wanted anyway

*This empty space was suppose to be pictures which was to be uploaded by lin who went to sleep instead*

 

 

 

 

 

*hence enjoy this spaces which was suppose to be filled with random pictures from comex*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HAHA!! I love hints

 

Caught up with Shane at bugis,

Waited for Bao and Liying to return from Sentosa

Had steamboat at some lousy place.

Bao spilled orange juice on my bag.

Shane ate alot of tofu and salty meatballs.

I bit on some nasty spice which got my tongue all numb.

Liying did not lose a single forfeiting game. 

 

Girls wanted to try shisha so we went over to arab street.

 

 

Inventer of contact shisha

**Liying if you’re reading** 

Good luck on your future endeavours and have a safe flight this friday.

I’m sure all your friends in sunny side up singapore will miss you  including Me, Bao and errr mr Reilly
