on board an oil tanker!

this afternoon, fen brought me, darling, hw and michael to a US ship for a visit. he got to know a friend who is working as a sailer on the ship. so how did he get to know that friend?

well, it happen some time ago, when he was on the mrt, then this US gal called andi, went to 搭讪 him. so they chatted, and they like 一见如故, and hit it off immediately. and then fen invited her to watch DR08 (our chinese dance performance at ucc), and she really enjoyed the performance, so in return she invited fen to visit her ship.

the ship is at sembawang naval base, and we spent quite a long time at the security counter, because there is some problem with fen's ID, think its because he is not singaporean, so 情况 a bit 特殊. this is his second time going to the ship, and he told us the first time he went dun have so many kay zhua things.

we finally reach the dock where the ship is "parked", and wow, the ship is really damn BIG! the ship's primary purpose is to provide fuel for other ships at sea, so it is like a sea version of petrol station.

on the ship, andi brought us to the "store" to purchase some souvenirs like t-shirts, sweaters and pants. so each of us chose our stuff, and as we are prepared to pay for them, she paid for us and its actually a gift for us! i quite guilty cos the rest only chose a top each, but i chose a top and a sweater. :p

and then she brought us to her room. each sailor has his/her own room, with a attached bathroom. and the room is quite big, about the same size as a single room in hall, and is fully air conditioned! wow!

(dunno who is the genius that took this pic. just nice when i swing up my camera pouch it covers andi's face. haha.)

this is the lounge, where the sailors can relax and watch dvds. there is also a computer inside the lounge for them to surf the net.

we went to the control station of the ship. there are so many buttons and switches, and we are damn scared that if we accidentally trigger one of them, the whole ship will explode, or all the fuel will leak, then we ho sei liao. haha.

(harry potter. haha.)


(the big boss of the ship)



(the lady beside fen is andi)



(this is not a fire drill. there is a real fire on the ship! everyone run for your lives!)

the next place we went is the deck of the ship. the view is magnificient, and we can even see malaysia. that's why all our handphones change to malaysia auto-roam. -.-'''

(my heart will go on~)

the ship is really really big, a very good place to bring hide and seek. if i am thrown in any place inside the ship, i think i will take ages to find my way out. when you are new to any environment, for example your workplace, the most important places that you must definitely remember are: toilets and CANTEEN. haha. their canteen not bad, looks like a restaurant, even got a salad bar and coffee machine.

(the menu)

lastly, we went to the hair salon.

(the petrified customer with the arrogant hairstylist. haha.)

haha no lah this is a small cabin, where the sailors maintain communications with helicopters if they want to land on the ship.

it was a really great experience visiting the ship, and a wonderful eye-opener. must thank fen for bringing me there, and also thank andi for being such a wonderful host, not forgetting the gifts.

after the whole ship visit, we went to have a steamboat dinner to celebrate michael's birthday. darling din go because she has a paper the next day. haha. hope she got enough time to study for the paper and can score well, if not i will be very guilty for bringing her along with me to the ship.

the steamboat restaurant is at shaw tower. and being the birthday boy, or should i say birthday man, michael has his fair share of being sabohed. fen wants him to be the vain chef, and has to cook for all of us to eat, cos he nv cooks at home.

(a very tanned michael. haha.)

still got many more pics in michael's camera. will upload them as soon as i got them from him. :)

考完试了

yay! exams finally over! :)

the long awaited holidays are finally here!

anyway i was watching tv, and i saw some footage of hongkong's 万千星辉, which is similar to our 红星大奖. my god the actresses dress until damn chio lah. nose can bleed. haha.

here are some pics, see whether you can recognise them.

exams again

so i have just finished my first ever paper in nie.

真没想到, after i graduated from nus, one and a half years later, i am taking examinations again.

before exam go toilet, get inside the exam hall, find my seat, put my pencil case on the top left hand corner of the table, put my matric card on the top right hand corner. everything is so standardised and familiar.

and listening to the chief examiner talk the necessary stuff before the paper and after the paper. last time back in nus i was so bo liao that i go and memorise every single sentence of those necessary stuff. i think very 威风 to say all this in front of everyone in the exam hall, and who knows i got my chance when i went to do o level invigilations. hahahahaha.

ok back to mugging for my second paper which is also my last paper tomorrow. this paper is damn difficult to study and will definitely be a killer. :(

but heck lah just study as much as i can, and then once its over, its the holidays! before my exams i actually start planning on wat to do after the exams. haha. i am going to cut and dye my hair, accompany darling as often as i can before i go to hk, plan hk and taiwan trip, go shopping for travelling necessities, dance practises and class chalet at sentosa.

i shall persevere on. and now is raining, when i had just brought my clothes to the laundry. DAMN SIAN!

sunday post

went to my classmate's daughter's one year old birthday party at changi village.

the little girl is so cute, but very shy, cos when strangers want to carry her, she will cry.

so does anyone of you remembered whether your parents organise a party for your one year old birthday? seriously i dun remember anything, but i noe got such thing, cos i've seen pictures of me 24 years ago, when i was such a cute baby (bhb i noe) and both my parents are still so young. haha.

ok the next four days will be damn stressful for me.

just let me tide through this 4 days and if i am still standing alive, i will become armani's new spokesperson.

land of contaminated milk

today when i was reading dashimon's blog, i came across this four words:

land of contaminated milk.

at first i dunno wat he was talking about. and then a few seconds later i realised wat he meant, and i keep laughing to myself. haha.

exam stress

i am now back to the exam stress lifestyle when i was a nus student. i have two papers next week, which is on wed and thur. both papers have damn alot of things to study, and damn alot of things to memorise.

so to release stress, i watch youtube videos. haha.

and recently i chance upon this small kid, who is a PHENOMENAL dancer, and he took part in the competition Britain Got Talent.

he is being called the dance version of Rocky, whereby he never gives up and carries on fighting.

besides watching youtube videos, another method for me to release stress is to watch hk drama serials~

during this two months, i have watched finish the following drama serials:

(huang zong ze is damn 帅 in this show)


(wonderful drama, wonderful plot, wonderful cast)

(this show tells the audience that dancing is a passion. and liao bi-er is damn gorgeous. *droolz*)

and right now i am watching this two drama serials:

watching these drama serials make me want to quickly go hongkong and take pictures of the scenic places, so next time when i watch other hk drama serials, and i saw these places, i can 自 high a bit cos i noe that i have been to these places before! haha.

to end this post, i will like to congratulate my students for finishing the o level examinations. and i also want to wish darling and all my friends BEST OF LUCK in studying for the exams!

生日快乐 - quarter of a century old

its the time of the year again.

finally hit 25. hope i am really coping with my quarter life crisis well. haha.

i will like to thank everyone for the birthday wishes, be it through msn, facebook, friendster, sms or any other means. its great to have all of you as my friends. :)

ok let's talk about how i spend my big day.

woke up very early in the morning to go to darling's house to study together with her. study is just an excuse. the main reason is she is bringing me to the botak jones outlet near her house for lunch. haha. so instead of studying, we spent half of the time playing sudoku and reading i-weekly. :p

after the wonderful lunch at botak jones, i went home to wait for my family members to come back home, so that we can go out to celebrate my birthday. we went to dian xiao er at changi airport T3. my little sis got a 30 dollar voucher that can be used at any f&b outlet in changi airport, but that goon du forgot to bring it out with her. -.-''' but nvm, i shall forgive her cos she went through a horrible time getting my birthday cake which i will mention the details later.

changi airport T3 rocks! the last time i went there is with darling, when T3 only just opened and haven even start operations yet. now T3 is so vibrant and happening!

the food at dian xiao er rocks too!

clockwise from the top left hand corner:

spinach with salted egg and century egg, some very special tofu with brocolli, crispy cod fish (damn nice), stir fried mutton (the mutton is very soft and chewy, and got no 羊骚味 at all), dang gui roast duck (the signature dish), and lastly cereal prawns.

we had a damn shiok time eating them. haha.

after the yummy dinner we went T3 to walk around. its been dunno how long since we had a proper family outing. and of course we took lots of crap photos.

the three children bought new phones, so must show off:

let me introduce to you, the jumping family:

even my mum also wants to have a jump shot. -.-'''

my younger sis being dramatic. i think this trait runs in the whole family. haha.

the family portrait. :)

we even went to the crown regent hotel, which is the hotel inside T3. the hotel damn cool and class lah. the toilets are also damn class, confirm can 切 esplanade toilets to the max.

and finally, here's my birthday cake. strawberry shortcake from bak_rz_i_n.

so now i shall very BRIEFLY describe wat happened to my little sis in her ordeal to get my birthday cake.

yesterday my little sis called the vivo branch to reserve the cake. the guy who answered the phone said no need to reserve one, cos confirm sure will still have when she comes down to buy.

so this afternoon my little sis went down to the vivo branch, and to her horror there is no more strawberry shortcake! being her normal self, she demanded an explanation, and the restaurant manager is a very chao4 kuan4 female who speaks english with a slang, and tried to 强词夺理 with my little sis. of course my little sis wun buy all that shit (anyway i think very few in this world can win her when it comes to argument, haha) and demands the manager to call other outlets to check whether still got the strawberry shortcake.

so the manager LL have to call, and she take her own sweet time calling and talking lots of cock, which my little sis thinks that the manager is bitching about her besides asking for stock, and thus make my little sis even more pissed.

thankfully, the branch at takashimaya still got stock, so my little sis have to rush down to orchard to get the cake for me. thank you little sis~ very very touched.

and because the manager's attitude is super jia lat, my little sis decided to do wat she does best: writing complaint letter! for those who follow my blog regularly, you should noe my little sister's prowess in writing complaint letters.

ok that's the end of story.

i shall end this birthday post and look forward to the birthday next year. haha.

私奔到月球

其实你是个心狠又手辣的小偷

我的心 我的呼吸 和名字都偷走

你才是 绑架我的凶手 机车后座的我

吹着风 逃离了平庸

这星球天天有五十亿人在错过

多幸运有你一起看星星在争宠

这一刻不再问为什么

不再去猜测人和人 心和心 有什么不同

123 牵着手

456 抬起头

789 我们私奔到月球

让双脚去腾空

让我们去感受

那无忧的真空

那月色纯真的感动

当你说太聪明往往还是会寂寞

我笑着倾听孤单总结后的寂寞

看月亮像夜空的瞳孔

静静凝视你我

和我们闹嚷的星球

靠近你怎么突然两个人都词穷

让心跳像是野火燎原般的汹涌

这一刻 让命运也沉默

让脚尖划过

天和天 地和地 缘分的宇宙

123 牵着手

456 抬起头

789我们私奔到月球

让双脚去腾空

让我们去感受

那无忧的真空

那月色纯真的感动

-----------------------------------------------------

darling, hope you will like this. :)

early birthday celebrations

my classmates planned a small birthday surprise for me after lessons. i was at the canteen chatting with some of them, then suddenly i heard the birthday song and all of them are singing and smiling at me. so sweet of them. :)

i will like to introduce to you:

one of my classmates, who is also national team trialthlete, nike human race female category champion, nus sportswoman of the year and i think still got many more titles; helping me to cut the cake. *honoured*

after the celebration i went back to hall and take a short nap, to recharge myself for another celebration. darling is bringing me to sentosa to watch the 4D Magix! :)

the ride is quite ex, 16 bucks a ticket, for only 15 min. but the show is damn fun and exciting, and even got external elements included to make the show more thrilling, for example kenna sprayed by water. hahaha. thank you darling for bringing me there to watch~

and then we went to walk the dragon trail, hoping that the trail will bring us to silosa beach but we nearly got lost in the middle of the rainforest, and the sky is getting dark. damn scary lah. but thankfully we managed to find our way out. :p

we had a wonderful teppan dinner at sakae. the garlic rice is to die for man!

but the teppan bamboo clams are quite disappinting.

after dinner we went to vivo and walk walk. darling bought a new dress, and i bought a new pair of shoes. not sports shoes, but casual outdoor shoes. haha.

a very happy day for me. :)

cool photos!

worth a laugh. do scroll down and take a look. :)

[ACKNOWLEDGEMENT]

thanks to the person below for introducing to me the cool website to make these photos.

(of course is not victoria beckham. haha.)

anyway here's the website: http://photofunia.com/

i am a happy man

i have two new possessions! :)

first of all, my new wardrobe has finally arrived! its from courts, and its damn cool, cos got sliding doors.

the wardrobe got 3 partitions.

the left-hand-side section is for my jerseys and 穿出门的衣服跟裤子.

the centre section is for formal attire and army uniforms. the drawers are for keeping my ties, belts, accessories and technological products.

the right-hand-side section is for 穿在家里的衣服跟裤子.

------------------------------------------------------------

and now i am going to introduce my 2nd new possession.

dear readers, after using my sony ericsson w550i for almost 3 years, i am glad to announce that i have bought a new handphone!

presenting to you, sony ericsson w980

i am charging the hp battery now, and i cant wait to explore the functions of my new phone! :)

ippt

the dreadful day is here again. its the day to clear my ippt. everytime when ippt comes, i will be very stressed.

firstly, if i fail ippt, i have to go for remedial training. which means every saturday i have to report to camp in the afternoon to do exercises conducted by military personnel, then dunno must keep going for how long, until another date of ippt comes, you pass it, then you will be out of the remedial training.

secondly, is the money. if you pass with incentive, you get 100 bucks. silver, 200 bucks. gold, 400 bucks. so of course everybody wants to aim for gold, but its not easy. however if you wanna train hard for it, getting gold is still a realistic aim.

thirdly, being a pe teacher, if i fail, i sure 被天下人耻笑.

lastly, my reservist company has won the best ippt company for 2 years in a row. so i must get at least a silver to contribute to the company, and hopefully we can win best ippt company for the 3rd year running.

all rite so here are my results:

sit-ups: 42
standing board jump: 230 cm (退步了, previously i can jump 243)
chin-ups: 8 (chin-up is always a killer for me)
shuttle run: 9.7 s
2.4 km run: 10 min 35 s (during my ns days, sure below 9:44)

Award: SILVER

200 dollars in my pocket. yay!
