heineken day
today was a good day, cos only need to work for half a day. then go for a company lunch (10 course chinese lunch.. nice, but the best thing was its free!!) then met the cinderalla indie boy in holland for some old skool kopitiam beer. had 3 big bottles of heineken, must admit was abit woozy after that. but then it was a really good beer session. i mean nothing can beat 2 best friends chilling out with the best best in the world, cept of cos entering the kingdom itself ... hmm heh, so to indie boy, i'll drink to that!
yupps, later at dinner had another big bottle with my dad. ate zi char, so whenever i eat that with family, its customary for me and dad to share a big bottle of heineken. oh i was a good boy today, stayed home and hence i rewarded myself with ... u guessed it, another can of heineken!! yippe, drinking as im typing this.. nice nice.. although i kanna suan the whole of tonight lar.. haiz.. somebody is just trying to test my patience.. tsk tsk

sway bai day
first half of today went pretty well, things started going downhill after lunch. i needed to use ms office to type my report, however the computer im using apparently cannot install the office cd. then i went around the lab carrying the cpus to my desk to see if it can work (sadly the lab is like a giant storeroom with alot of spoilt cpus, and the cpu towers are super heavy!!). then the guy told me to try this one that's on the shelf, but to do that , i need to carry the crt (why don't they use lcd monitors?!!) up on the shelf to test. and so i finally found one that works, and install everything happy happy.. nxt i try to plug the lan cable in only to find the socket is just one big hole and it'll swallow ur lan cable .. so no connection to the printer.. dunno how im going to print man..
then nvm, time to go home.. waited 30 mins for the stupid 14 or 166 .. like all the rare buses eg. 97,197,33 and that tibs one dunno what number, all came in 2's and threes liao lor.. then when the 166 (hail the great driver...) came, as expected it was damn crowded lar!! if there's one thing i hate.. that is late buses.. if you're late and u're also crowded.. i really wanna scream chee bye.. and soo the beloved bus travelled at a very fast speed of 40kmh. slowly rock until near my house, jam.. i practically can see my house for 10 mins before i was able to get off the bus.
then after at nite, i go and develop photos.. only had 3, but the woman said minimum is 10 pcs then its 25cents each.. so if 3 is 1 dollar each (?!! maths fail, i dun mind just paying 2.50 for 3 lar, since its the minimum rite??) but i never ask them lar.. too lazy to quarrel.. so let her cheat my money lor.. n after that, i learnt that my phone or m1 has been lazy and not letting me receive my sms when i needed them most!! grrr make me get upset for nothing.. bitch handphone
haiz..yes i know the post very bitchy.. but really the bus wait just spoilt my whole day... BAHHH STUBONGZ!!!!

when brokeness creeps in
i'll be there to catch you when you fall ...
and now i can see
im lucky just to have a heart
discovery will knock you on your knees
and lonely tears can only hope to freeze
yeah they'll freeze and fall on down
and so our sun is sinking low
and your spirit's close behind
but there's something you should know now
that you're on my mind
and where are you now
when will you share your winter nights
an angel without wings can hardly fly
and love without a dream
it'll not survive

level up
napkin man has just levelled up!! he has morphed into cryptonapkin man with a new skill called cryptograph. with this new skill, napkin man's napkin blast (now called cryptonapkin blast) not only blast things, but converts the entity into a series of 1s and 0s that does not make sense.
however in the course of gaining experience to level up, cryptonapkin man has been diseased with bo liaoness which gives a 75% chance of being bo liao, it also decreases attack speed by 10%. however cryptonapkin man will be fit and fighting and combating social retardedness in no time!

too much sun
seems like im never contented with the weather huh?? it's not, im really happy for the past 2 days of sunny mornings and afternoons (well at least happy for yesterday only) cos we got to go sun tanning (abit himbo statement, sorry).. hmm but then silly yiffy and i didn't bring sun block (she had suntan lotion, which would make us more chao ta, we're quite tasty now, sun tan lotion is the marinate)
so this morning woke up to the repercussions of our actions. even wearing my tshirt hurts like mad... crap. and it doesn't help that you get a sadistic ah ma who when helping u apply moisturiser to you back also enjoys slapping your back for fun.
sooo to all you ppl who are going to meet me within this week.. DON'T SLAP ME (not that you should slap me when im not burnt too). ok going to try to prep for first day of attachment tmr!! whee, its going to be fun! i hope...

a thousand apologies
wad is everybody's obsession with good english nowadays? last nite i got flak from kairen and brian for pronouncing woman as WU-man and not whoa-man (or some shit like that). and i particularly found it funny (yes i was literally laughing @ those 2 and they just figured i was a moron, in case you haven't known that im a moron by now) that they are going back and forth between the 2 for like 5 mins and i still could not tell the damn difference. well its not as if you don't (or shall i say, DONCH??) know what i'm trying to say. hell if an acjc principal can talk like that, i sure as hell can talk like that too rite?!!
grrrr once again if you're going to correct my grammar (or grammer?), vocab, spelling or pronunciation (or enunciation??), i have this to say to you: lim pei ka le kong, lim pei computer engineer no need to speak good engrish ok?? if you is buay song, then lan cheow ok!!

stuck at home again
when i was in canada, ppl there are crazy about the summers, mainly becos it last soo short, its like "thats it?!!" kindda feeling. n so we were talking to this girl in the library one day and she said she missed the singapore weather (her dad's malaysian, mom's canadian, so she visits this part of the world like occassionally). hmmmm she miss it mainly cos she likes the sun and all (yeah it really sucks when it starts to get dark @ 3pm in the day).
soo we were just telling her she's crazy cos we really don't like the heat that stems from sunny days, and that we really prefer the cold. well i guess we'll gettting our wish becos its not been sunny ever since i came back, and the only way to make it cold here is to make it rain.. haiz, okies i take that back, i really wish to see the sun on sunday (ok that's abit corny) cos i wanna go beach beach beach!!

new look
ok lar, it doesn't look that new, but then the layout is abit different now. however im still retaining the traditional white an grey tone of my page, whee!! oh yeah, decided to change it becos i was rotting at home on a hari raya haji afternoon, thanks to the rain which foiled our godzillion attempt @ going to the beach.
still left the profile page to do (which i am abit lazy, might scrap it totatlly) if i got time. ooo just got the email from my company.. apparently im not allowed to bring a camera phone in (grrr saf all over again), and the first day got orientation one, so fun, i saw the program and its like registration followed by ice breakers, whee, maybe i'll lead them in some cheers or something.. muahahahaha
oh yes which reminds me, if anyone of u have a spare handphone without camera lying around, and you'll feeling nice, plllllleeeeeaaaaaseeeeee lend it to me!! thanks thanks!!

time to take stock again
well every new year, ppl always ask 'eh what's ur new year resolutions?'.. and its kindda become a rhetorical question over the years aint it? cos as we all know, we never ever stick to our resolutions (except to the one on our computer screens, k sorry that was abit of a computer geek joke). so im not going to start listing all my resolutions.
but what i do wanna do is to reflect on the year that has just passed. n it definitely was an interesting one. well for the first part of the year i really didn't know what was going on cept for the fact that i was running from lab after lab. and in between that i would have been @ breko's and then its back to lab after lab. also somewhere in that time span i found i had an ipod.. hmmm as usual, din do well for that sem.. ha
then immediately came mech camp and orientation for hall. that's when i learnt that you can be friends with ppl, but that doesn't mean u can work with em. and it'll stay as that i guess. yeah and somewhere between orientation and after, something happened and lets just say i couldn't have been happier.
then came toronto. its definitely an exciting time to be going to a different country, n i thank God everyday for the opportunity to see a part of the world that some ppl can only experience while watching discovery channel and living. i really really esp like the weather , shallow as it might seem, but singapore could really use a winter now and then. 4 mths isn't exactly a very long time, cos like if indie boy leaves in feb and comes back in dec, now that's a long time. but it aint a very short time either, like dan lin the music shen who leaves for 10 weeks at a time, which actually is quite a short time. so 4 mths is just a nice time frame i guess, just enuff... i guess i owe it all to my folks for this opportunity also, i mean i spent like shit loads of their money.. and the #$#%$@^#%@^%#@%%#^@# canadian exchange rate is so kan pua high lar.. 1.4... yeah but real glad that they were so supportive that they even set aside that fund since when they knew i had the intention to go, now to work my ass off to repay them.. nahh.. not now lar.. hahaha. and also thru it all, i wanna thank a certain somebody for waiting soooo patiently for me to return.. didn't think it has always been easy.
and sooo now here we are @ the start of a new year... oh btw new year's eve was quite awesome, met some new frens and basically we had a hell of a time .. basically laughing my balls off the whole nite... but that's besides the point.. here we are at the start of the new year, how is 2006 gonna turn out? i dunno, shure hope its gonna be a great one.. like i always do every year, i tell myself 'this year is going to be my year' .. but for now im just going to worry about not writing the wrong year in the 'date' field.
