Back from Bintan and back to work.
It's good that everything went smoothly and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Lotsa chatting and lotsa happy faces.

Din take any pictures cuz being the coordinators, Den was more concerned about getting all the nitty gritty details rite so wasn't in the artisitc mood to capture any frozen memories. Hehehe maybe next time bah.

Finally, after months of planning, the D-Day is here.
Den will be off to Bintan for the next few days for the first ever Asia Finance Conference.

So far, the colleagues from all the other regions are here and they seem to be all pretty excited and hyped up. The energy level is half way to success le.

Wish me luck, till then =)

The weirdest thing that could happened in a KTV is when some China drunkard decides to pee directly outside your room.


C'mon lor, we all got drunk at one point or another and I had been dead drunk before but I never ever pee anywhere outside the toilet lor.

Anyway, we were celebrating Little Imp's bdae at MS Kbox.
Bernice was the first to notice someone sprinkling water outside on the door and that the water was flowing in. She jokingly mentioned that someone is peeing outside but our first reaction was that the staff could be washing the floor but cannot be leh, it was abt 10 plus only lor.

Valencia was seated nearer the door so she took a peek and was treated to a full frontal view, woohoo, hahah.

The Kbox staff were apologetic and helped us changed to a bigger room and I think they extended the hours as well, cuz we were supposed to sing till 10.30pm (nowadys they cut off at the timing, like Party World) but when some of us left, the others were still K-ing away

Channel U : From 7th July, there will be more ERP gantries and ERP charges for existing gantries will be revised (not exact words)

Bro 1: Fuck lor, nabei. ERP keep increasing, petrol also keep increasing, now petrol so expensive, how to fucking drive? Already pumping the most lousy grade of petrol liao lor.

Lao Bu: You all keep saying no money, very siong. Whenever gahmen or TV station ask for donation to dunno wat disaster, Singaporeans will keep coughing out the money what!

Bro 2: Wah lao eh, Singapore depends on these countries for survivor leh, it's investment mah, cannot bo chup them.

Lau Bu: M'sia/ Indonesia or wat oso not so enthu lor.

Bro 2: They have oil or wat mah. We have simi? Cannot liddat compare.

Lau Bei: Then like that you all ti ti tiew bo luei, gahmen where got believe? See you all continue to donate, of cuz will up this up that mah.

Me: *decided not to be part of this conspiracy theory discussion*

Got really pissed off this morning coming to work.
I noe I have kau beiz-ed a lot abt train rides but I still wanna kau beiz.

Today is a record breaking day cuz it took me the 6th train and some 20min before I can get on the transfer train at Dhoby Ghaut. And of cuz la, ppl were getting late for work and will tend to display tak glam behaviour by blocking the door way and squeezing their way thru without letting passengers alight.

Still neh mind lor, some morons still ngei ngei squeeze in hor till they practically can kiss the doors liao. Then they will squeeze in such an awkward position so that whenever the train jerked a bit, they will lose balance n create a domino effect by knocking into ppl around them.

What's most irritating is that when ppl start alighting at Cityhall, these idiots cannot space out de, they must still stick as close to the fucking doors as possible so that when the door open, they can chiong to the escalator. Not fun when I'm sandwiched in between and I cannot space out even if I wanted to =(

And the worst possible situation to be in is when you get sandwiched by ah neks. I noe this sounds racist but really lor, the ah neks seem to have higher body temp than normal ppl, and of cuz I wun mention the 'perfume' that they like to use lor. ARGH! The agony, even if it's for a 2 station ride.

Ok, end of KB session, back to work =)

I could have turned into The Incredible Hulk myself as I was driving home this afternoon.

But this particular bugger on the CTE was really trying my patience by cutting into my lane barely 0.5m ahead of me on the right most lane, without signalling, not once, not twice but a fucking three times straight lor. And nope, it's not some young punks on probation but a sibei kuai lan looking ah cek.

For once, I did the unthinkable, I horned the hell out of the bugger and of cuz the intensity increased with each reckless cutting of lanes and for a split second, wanna drive along side him and show him this:

In the end, he still managed to get into the right most lane but not in front of me, 2 cars behind me. But man, was I pissed!

Hmmm, could one of my readers be from the SAF?
Cuz I just received another sms today and this time round, I'm $70.11 richer, hahahah

Been hearing about how tough life is for those very few remaining in Ah Geok's Dept.
Even the most faithful and happy go lucky is almost on the verge of giving up.

Hang in there ppl, until you manage to get a better offer elsewhere but if things are really too hard to take, then please leave.

Your mental well being is defintely worth a lot more than the measley salary that she's paying you ppl.

Went for some Sex last night. From a guy's perspective, it's just a comedy, with some witty dialogues but to the gals, I can see why this HBO series is such a hit.

It's about 4 individual gals (women actually, cuz they are not exactly sweet young things) and their different perspectives on love and relationships and well of cuz, sex. And amidst the persuit of fashion and their own love, the foursome (pun not intended) can always find solace in each other should one of them is down and out. Female bonding at its very best.

Of cuz this being a gal show, the guys in this show cannot be too overpowering. Hence, the hot hunks are basically potrayed as look-good-shaggable males with little intelligence. Those with a slightly higher IQ are gays.

As for the gals' guys, well, I really dun have much to say about them.

Samantha's got herself a Hollywood boy toy who well, basically is the new age sensitive guy any gal would want but she's more interested in fulfilling her never ending thirst for great shags, even at the age of 50. She even got herself an equally horny pooch. >___<

Miranda's got herself a house husband who's frustrated abt not having enuf sex and commited one act of indelity and then spent the rest of the show begging for forgiveness.

Charlotte is abt the one having a happily ever after love life while Carrie, is basically being torn apart trying to forget a guy who can't write a love letter/email/sms for shit, get the cold feet on getting married but other than that, is one filthy rich middle aged uncle who can build her a walk in closet any woman will kill for.

Carrie finally gets carried away when this uncle wrote what seems to be his greatest achievement at a love letter/email/sms when he just wrote 'I knew I screwed up. I will love you forever.'
And tada, it worked! He even got away with just saying 'I do' in Cityhall and no wedding extravaganza.

And of cuz every one has a happy ending at the end of the show.

p.s. Dun think I'll be eating any sushi in the meantime.

I was puzzled when I received this sms:

Your NSpay will be paid on 100608. To know the amt reply: np NRIC (eg s1234567j) or login to www.NS.sg to check e-payslip. If message is not for you reply: np 9

I was like eh, my make up pay for in camp get liaoz leh, then I realised it must be for the mobilisation last week. So I sms-ed back to find out and this was the reply:

Your NS payment is $22.67. For more details, pls log on to www..NS.sg or call us at eNSNSNS (1800 3XXXXXX)

20 bucks for overnight work on a weekend! Even fast food restaurants pay better lor, zzzzzz

It came as a shock when I heard about the passing of one of the greatest man I know: Dr Lee Kum Tatt.

He was the parent of one of my trainees in RO and although I do not really know him that well, I still remember the passion he has for science and the well being of the nation.
He is always willing to share his stories and life experiences and is a great inspiration to all.

Such a great man will be missed by many for many years to come. I hope you are well, wherever you are now.

Me was watching the news last nite and was amazed that due to the ever increasing fuel prices, airlines may consider revising air tickets prices based on the weight of passengers so that


My first reaction was 'What the fuck?' It sounds a bit degrading mah, and the newscaster made it sound so matter of factly, maciam like 'Ok lor, in future, we humans will be transported like cargoes, among the likes of meat, vegetables, cement, etc, based on weight so that the airlines can still earn their profit'

On hindsight, I think this may not be a bad thing afterall, cuz me will get to travel at a much cheaper price. Assuming of course, I do not continue to put on weight. Being small size may not seem like a bad thing suddenly.

Shortly after previous entry was posted, Rainbow said I forgot to put these on record, Prada, Kate Spade, Fendi, DKNY and Jimmy Choo for shoes.

And to set the record straight:
Rainbow says: its not just a bag, its how u see it in terms of design, history etc
Rainbow says: like how u see the car - horsepwr, design, sleek or sporty etc
Rainbow says: its the same
Rainbow says: plus, nv buy the latest season bag for the gal
Rainbow says: its a total NONO unless she says she like it
Rainbow says: always go for the classic range, u can nv go wrong

Tips from the guru

What guys cannot understand is the reason why gals need to have multiple different models of branded bags from essentially the same few brands lor.

So far the ones that I know from my female friends revolve around LV, Gucci, Coach, Burberry (not in order of preference)

Shan was telling me she was looking forward to Gucci sales happening on 4th June so that she can get the bags she wanted, and asked me to call Gucci to help her find out >___<''' So I hooked her up with Rainbow, the branded bags guru, and I watched their converstion as an audience. While they were so enthu discussing about sales and models, canvas versus leather, I asked Rainbow why gals are so obsessed about branded bags. And this is the excerpt of our msn:

Excerpt 1:
Den says: u all gals need so many branded bags for wat huh?
Rainbow says: den do guys need car? or watches?
Rainbow says: its the same mentality
Den says: but one oni mah
Den says: watch ok la but still not into the thousands lor
Rainbow says: ur car = can buy a lot of branded bags
Rainbow says: its the same thing ...
Rainbow says: bags are an accessory - depends on what u wear, it seeks to complement ur outfit

In the midst of such gal talks, the bfs will be in peril. Depending on how the conversation went, the final victim could and most probable would be the bf's wallet, esp if one of them starts telling the rest of her conquest(s), sponsored (willingly or unwillingly in this case does not matter) by her doting bf.

And erm, one scary thing that all bfs should take note of is the extent and the thoroughness of the research they can spend their time on for such things:

Excerpt 2:
Rainbow says: i think there are 2 sizes rite? dunno its MM, GM or PM?
Shan says: PMn MM
Rainbow says: give me a sec
Rainbow says: Monogram Canvas Neverfull PM SGD980 MM SGD1040 GM SGD1100
Rainbow says: prices updated as of MAY 2008

Excerpt 3:
Den says: say if both oso similiar branded stuff mah
Den says: then if gucci de canvas slightly more ex then LV de leather (assuming similiar size)
Den says: then crazy lor
Rainbow says: u need to look @ the design lo
Rainbow says: last time its tom ford designing for gucci
Rainbow says: its during his era that he pushed gucci to the highest peak man

They can even trace back the history of the designers!!!

So guys beware, the ladies know their Guccis and their LVs. And they know how to differentiate the real stuff from those you saw in Shenzhen.
But then again, when you are out of ideas what to get for your gal to make her happy, you dun have to crack your head too much other than what's the latest in season.

After 3 weeks of anticipation (not in the positive sense), finally tio-ed activated for the mobilisation last night. It was a silent mob so meaning there was no green man flashing on TV but hor, this time we din kanna the activation at 2pm but rather at 8pm at night.

Needless to say weekend is burnt as it turned out to be an overnight event and we were only released this afternoon. Hopefully, this is the last mob of my remaining NS liability.

Din know that some of my friends were from the same brigade. Was pleasantly surprised to see Roland and Shiyang back in camp.
