Long Lost Camp Mate
29 Aug 2005, Monday
Received a call from Keith, 1 of my long lost camp mate back in SCDF. Was quite surprised when he called cos it had been quite some time since we last met. Had dinner with him @ Tampines Mall's Genki Sushi (his treat ^.^) then went to watch "Saint Ange". Another disappointing show, don't even understand what the show is about, its so damn confusing .... 'sigh' waste $$$ again. P.S. Don't ever go watch it, it's really lousy!

Dungeon Siege II<---- Screenshot of my latest craze. Have been playing non stop day and nite =P "It’s been a generation since you vanquished the evil that plagued the Land of Ehb, and now…a new menace has awakened. In Dungeon Siege II, the sequel to the best-selling RPG from Gas Powered Games, you will be called on to again wield sword and spell to save the world from a growing abomination many years in the making."

This coming weekend will be Isabelle's B.day chalet, still scratching head on what to buy for her. Hope i can think of what to buy before Friday ....

Im feeling LUCKY !!!
Shaman King26th Aug 2005, Friday
Finally received the VCD i bought over at Yahoo Auction, it cost me $80.00, but never mind .... cos Kelvin a.k.a. Yama is gonna return the $80 to me .... why? Cos he lost 1 of the disc from the set i lent him and that set of disc is not mine .... but anyway, i glad that he is willing to bear the responsibilty

Daphne's Fried Rice27th Aug 2005, Saturday
Received an SMS from a Rajesh, asked me if i could cover his shift today. Initially, my plan for today is to meet up with Leon to go recce for some cheap deals to go Thailand for a short get away trip, but Leon told me that he is too sick to go out today, hence had to postpone the recce to tomorrow, and so i'm free for the day ..... and so ended up working till 8.00pm to cover Rajesh's slot. Felt very lucky and kinda touched today, cos a colleague of mine, Daphne, she made me some fried rice, even thou she is sick herself, she bothers to cook it early in the morning and brought it to work for me as she had previously promised to cook me something to eat (Thank You Daph, the rice was fantastic). After work, met up with Huat, had dinner @ Long John (Tampines), after that went on to the arcade to "destress". The game was quite enjoying, cos i managed to win 1 of my most hated guy (Iguana Face). Out of 10 rounds, i only lost once, which means he spent like $5+ and i only spent a dollar ^^

28th Aug 2005, Sunday
Woke up and started Dungeon Sieging again ...... played till around 1.00pm then rushed down to City Hall to meet Leon as we were going to the Suntec Travel Fair. Got a really cheap deal to Thailand. $257.00 for 4days. Will be flying off by the last week of September. Had lunch at Marina Sq Food Court, then went to Bugis to walk walk, actually he wanted to buy some berms or T-shirts, but sadly nothing caught his eyes today. Headed over to Bugis village as i want to look for a new pouch, but ...... to no avail, was really squeezy there and the weather is so damn hot, so didn't stay long. Left for Sim Lim at around 5.15 to get a box for my Chip & Dale VCD then went home at around 6.00pm.

Sigh, the trip is confirm liao, this will be my 2nd trip for the year liao ..... think pocket gonna burn 1 big hole again .... Hope i can control myself and not to buy too much, buget for shopping is $300.00, and i'm gonna tell myself i have to stick to that =P

Dungeon Siege II
23rd Aug 2005, Tuesday
Went "Challenger" @Tampines, actually want to buy some CDR to burn the Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers i recently downloaded. Saw my long waited Dungeon Siege II, dropped the idea of buying the CDRs and bought the game instead. Was so excited about it, first thing that came to my mind was to share this with Wenjie, Damson and 阿狗, as they had played the 1st series (Lengend of Aranna). Went home straight after that, installed the game and started playing till 2.30am.

24th Aug 2005, Wednesday
Diana from SME banking came to visit me and Sam. She bought some kuei kuei from Bengawan Solo for us. Took a few pictures with her. Then after that was looking forward to go home to continue with my Dungeon Siege II ...... Played till 4.00am then went to bed!


25th Aug 2005, Thursday
Woke up at around 8.30am, again, started to play DS2, played till 9.20am then headed for my shower then to work. At work, mind was not there at all =P hoping the day end soon so can go home to continue the game ^^ Got home at around 7.45pm. Took my dinner then is DS2 time, played till now (12.00am) wrote this entry, then is back to DS2 again, hahaha ...... =D

Gloomy whole day long ....
21st August 2005 (Sunday)
The whole day was gloomy, made my feeling gloomy also. Woke up at around 10am, drizzling, went to take a pee then back to sleep. Woke up again at around 1pm. Started a game of Pokemon, didn't played for a few days liao. Saw Jess online, tried my luck to just message her cos she told me she won't be at home today as she will be going to K Box with her friends. Surprisingly she replied, she told me that the "K" session was cancelled, and she will be going down to Taka with Rhiannon and 文惠 to use up her $150 Taka vouchers. She left home at around 3pm while i stayed and played Pokemon till around 5pm then left home for Taka.

Met Jess @ Kino and hanged around there for awhile then headed to Mac for our dinner. After that proceeded to our shopping spree. Both Rhiannon and 文惠 acted as a fashion consultant for Jess as both of them are fashion students in NAFA. Jess bought a pair of longgggg socks & a skirt. Just seeing her buying things, i myself as a so call shopaholic, could not resist the temptation to buy something as well. So ...... i bought another diamond ring -.-" phew, initially just thought of just come out to waste time today, but ended up buying again .......

Bad weather!
Supposed to be going for a Summer Japanese Festival with Jessica (1 of my SCB colleague) today. But due to the unforseen weather (drizzling), the trip was cancelled. Actually i was very much looking forward to it, cos i've never been to such events before, it could have been an eye-opener for me.

Still we met up at Tampines with 2 of Jessica's freinds (Rhiannon & WenHui文惠). Went shopped around in Tampines Mall and Century Square, then i brought Jess to my work place to look around(which is just in the CPF bldg @ Tampines). Thereafter, we had dinner @ Century Sq food court then proceeded to "Ya Kun" for a cup of ice coffee. Subsequently after that, we went to watch "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory", initially i thought that is a lame show, but hearing quite alot of good comments about the show so i decided to watch it too ..... After watching it, its not bad after all!

Strangers are we ...
--> Just when i thought i have got over it.... But i was very wrong. I dreamt of "you" last night ... Why has it to be this way? Why can't i just put everything behind me and move on? I tried so hard forget about "you", but just ONE dream, all my effort went in vain.

I woke up this morning feeling so helpless again, reminded myself not think about the past any more. Guess my will powers are weak, can't help thinking of the crappy jokes we once shared. How long can i hold myself together? Will i break down again? I kept pondering to myself.

I just know that i can't give in just like that, my only consolation is thinking back about 3yrs ago, when we were still stangers, and we had life and friends of our own, and my life still goes on .... It wouldn't be much of a difference in just 3yrs.

《十年》

如果那两个字没有颤抖, 我不会发现 我难受
怎么说出口, 也不过是分手
如果对于明天没有要求, 牵牵手就像旅游
成千上万个门口, 总有一个人要先走
怀抱既然不能逗留, 何不在离开的时候
一边享受, 一边泪流

十年之前, 我不认识你, 你不属于我, 我们还是一样陪在一个陌生人左右
走过渐渐熟悉的街头
十年之后, 我们是朋友, 还可以问候, 只是那种温柔再也找不到拥抱的理由
情人最后难免沦为朋友

直到和你做了多年朋友, 才明白我的眼泪
不是为你而流, 也为别人而流

Busy Busy Busy
<---- Been quite busy these few weeks .... With what??? Hahaha, have been addicted to the Pokemon Gold version, and also busy with downloading of the "Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers" TV Series (12GB) and burning them into VCD formats, so thats why didn't update for quite sometime liao! Probably i will just summarise what happened recently.

??/08/2005
Bought the Pokemon Series VI (Box 2) VCDs. Got home realised that i have not buy the Box 1 yet. Went back to TS Tampines to buy the first box. Initially they told me that its sold out, so decided to go check out from other outlets, went to the Simei Br, but dun have, went to Woodlands br oso, but to my surprise ..... they said that that series is dis-continued!!! Was really furious when i heard that. Got the phone no to the TS head office cos wan to COMPLAIN! Called up the head office the following day, spoke to a guy named Valent Tan, told him off, telling him that how could the management just dis-continue something juz like that, and im left dangling with the stupid Box of that Series, and so i gave him 2 choices, either get me the Box 1, else give me a full refund of the Box 2, he said he will need to check with his manager and wil get back to me by 15/8/05 (Mon). Guess i will just have to wait for the news ^^

14/08/2005 (Saturday)
Whew, NDP is finally over .... and so my bestest best buddy, Shawnie, called me to jio me go out, cos for the past 2months we dun even have time to meet up for dinner due to his tight schedule in rehearsing for the NDP. While in office, played around the internet with Daphne, found this really gross webby of Steven Lim both of us really had a good laugh on the things this ass hole does ..... Met up with Shawnie directly after work. Went over to Marina Square to catch "The Maid (女佣)" 5pm show. This is the 2nd show which i find it really scary since "见鬼 1". After that, headed over to Taka, went to the basement juz to grab some snacks. Shopped around Paragon's Toys 'R' Us, took a few pics there! Walked over to Heeren for dinner @ Billy Bombers. He had the American Meat Loaf while i had my all time fav, Cod Fish & Fries. Had a really long chat, told me about his dearie, how they spent his dearies b.day together .... felt so envious and also happy for him, cos they really make a perfect couple! Had a slow walk back to Bugis to have a game or 2, met LYC and had supper @ BK, then took bus no. 12 home with LYC as he is staying in Kembangan.

15/08/2005 (Sunday)

Set off together with 1 of my colleague, Kelly, along with H.S. at around 8.00am. Watched them played a few games and decided to sneaked off ..... Met up with Jie, Damson and Guoxiong at Cineleisure @12pm to catch a movie. Bought the 2.55pm tix to "Bewitched" starring 1 of my fav actress, Nicole Kidman. Had lunch at the Food Court then proceeded to Taka's Kinokuniya to walk, look, see, touch ..... Hanged around Taka and Heeren til the show starts. After the show, went over to Far East Plaza to walk walk, then to Cuppage Food Court for dinner. After that is go home. The end of my these few days of my life ......

Summary for this weekend (5th, 6th & 7th Aug 05)
Felt really happy this week cos i finally managed to add in links to all the movie theatres into my title bar. But still trying to add in snow flakes to my blog that doesn't look so "Blocky". Anyone knows how to edit pictures that won't come out to be in a boxed up shape? Pls help!

(5th & 6th Aug 05, Fri & Sat)
Went watched movie on these 2 days. Watched "Wedding Crasher" with 2 friends at Bugis. Actually don't like to watch this kind of show, cos the ending will always turn out to be a couple happily married (which i feel is bullshit, cos i don't believe in happy endings). There is a part in the show that really made me felt sick, thats when the male lead said these to the female lead "Everyone will eventually loses someone he loves, and i will cherish the one i love before i loses her, and the person I love is now standing right in front of me ......" Bleah, thats shity, can't stand nonsenses! The following day, watched "Land of the Dead" at Marina Square with Dylan & Belle, midnight show, haha, this is the kind of show i really enjoy watching. Story is about a rich man that owns a really big building in a town, and only the rich can live in there. For the poor, they lives in the outskirt of the building which is protected by high voltage fences. How they make money is to steal from towns outside their town which is infested with zombies and sell the goods to the rich. How the story start is when this man request the Rich Man to allow him to stay in "that" building but the request was declined, then he decides to break the defense barrier and let the zombies in. Thats roughly how the story goes ...

(7th Aug 05, Sunday)
Had dinner with Nash at Woodlands. Had chicken rice at the nearby coffeeshop, then back to Causeway Point's Burger King to talk cock until 10pm. After that is go home ...

Billy Bombers for Lunch
For those who did not notice the change in my Blog ..... I've changed my blog to Yahoo! Singapore. I swapped the Finance Link to the Auction Link on the top of the page to cater to Singapore users =P Still thinking of how to add in Links to Movie Theatres to check what show is on .... I'm working on it now, hope to think of a way to link the page ......

(1st Aug 2005, Monday)
Had lunch at Billy Bombers with Cheryl. Get to enjoy the lunch with the "1 for 1 Main Course" courtesy of Nash .... Had my all time favorite, Cape Cod Fish with Fries. Had the Mocha Shake as well .... As for Cheryl, she had the same Main Course as me, but instead she had the Banana Shake. Had a heartful chat about our family, hahaha she told me her side of story and told me that 每一个家都有一本难念的经, which i find it very true. Wherever theres human, theres problems .....
