Kiasuism in FC2

Below: Only Kiasu people do this...

Yea, the sight of this really made me my fingers itch for a picture. As I was in FC2 with Earns and JianLiang for lunch, I saw a water bottle and a couple pack of tissue papers used to "chop" 2 seats. Oh man, this really pisses me off and I really had the impulse to flick the 2 packs of tissues on the floor! Waterbottle, nevermind, at least, it looks like something that is owned by someone. But tissue paper?! Oh god... Ok, as I was eating, I kept a lookout for the 3... well actually 2 culprits. And.... they finally arrived...

Lecturers!! All 3 aunties! What the heck, even lecturers do have their ugly side! At least consider me humane as I spared them the blushes, as I finally decided not to lash my tongue at them or take a picture of them and post here. Should be ashamed of yourselves!

Earns told me before that he wanted to get a new bag as his Billabong bag was ripped. Also to the delight to his newfound song, he decided to get a brand new guitar + case. And today, I accompanied him to Beach Road the Army Market to get his bag. $23 is really dirt-cheap and you can never get that kind of price anywhere for a bag that is reasonably big and has many compartments as well as a sponge backing for comfort. It is the Civil Defence full-pack, but hey, who said you can't make a fashion statement with that bag?

Prior to buying the bag, we received last-minute info that we are needed to attended the ITP talk. Its is compulsory and its attendence will count towards the marks for that module. So we met JQ 1st at Vivocity and went for the talk. I know the pay for ITP sucks big time. But no choice, its counted as part of polytechnic assessment.

December is coming... and wonder will I ever get to find time to chiong maple x2 experience. Definitely, with my BAD results, I'll have to work double-hard too. Its just a matter on how I prioritize my time.

After a much stressful MST week, I've managed to heave a sigh of relief. This time, the MST is not that easy. Given the commitment I've put into the exam. I guess I'll never even get an "A". Heck... I'll have to work harder for the remaining of the semester!

Yesterday after dinner, I met Melvin at Chinatown and we went to Cherry Bar. It was our first time there, and the ambience of the club was quite similiar to Rush/Sparks with all those turning spotlights and other lighting effects. It seems that every alternate hour, there would be a live band performing various music. Thai Rappers/singers performing as well as hot thai chicks on the dancefloor and poles. For the remaining alternate hours, the music switches between RnB, Pop Dance, Trance and Techno. And when it was Techno Tiu time, the both of us took centerstage! Sad to say that much of the music did not suite our taste. We went to a nearby coffeeshop for some food and later went back for more.

After another round of dancing, there was this group of 1 guy and 2 ladies who came up to us and offered us some drinks as token of friendship. They also invited us to sit and drink with them. Melvin and I was like uhh.. kinda strange but ok... I guess, returning the compliments next time is only right.

Below: No, it ain't history. Just the Sepia Effect from Ah Mei's new Sony Ericsson phone.

Just now after breakfast, the trio of us went Clementi Central for a lunch, and paid Ah A a visit at his workplace.For the past 2 weeks in Singapore, I guess Ah Xian had fun. She was like lamenting to me that she did not want to go back to Kuching so soon. Yea, same sentiments I had when I was younger and when I was in Kuching. Somewhat I feel like a bad host, as I did not really bring them her out to more places, making her get kinda stuck in campus. All thanks to the upcoming MST week, got me mugged-up in my books.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary Baby!

Last year at this day,
I first knew you.
Ever since then,
We have been in touch...

From the first day till forever,
U'll always be in my heart.
I will always think of you...

Till time ends
Inspite all the difficulties
Never will I fail you...
Glad I knew you!

Crazy Indian Video

I still remember my cousin sisters were roaring all over my impersonation of an angry Indian man and Ah Mei was recalled her encounter with an indian guy on the MRT... and it's such a coincidence I visited Feng's blog and this YouTube video caught my attention! Now this will definitely be the non-english and non-chinese song I'll be able to sing!

Finally, after like almost a year of delay, and almost 2 years, Ah Mei finally treated McDonalds! So happy she treated me! haa! I was in NUS to visit Ah Mei and Ah Xian as promised last week (Sorry Earns!)

Botak Jones!

What a day at school! I mean, not really at school! Today I woke up at 9.20am for the 10am OOP lesson. By experience, I should be on time. But it wasn't to be today. When I was walking towards the bus stop, the skies suddenly unleashed a torrential barrage of rain! Damn... and it really upset my stomach. Unable to take it, I went home to use the toilet and by the time I was done, it was close to 10am. For other lessons, the lecturer/tutor will still allow the students to come into class. But, this Carlos Acosta will lock the classroom door to bar students from entering the class. Stupid Mexican! Well, I guess I'll have to spend time at home and wait for the 1am CA lesson.

Ok... got to school early at about 12.30pm and I went to FC4 for lunch. Luckily, and I say luckily I met Zhi Kang, who told me that the CA lecturer is not around as he is on a Japan trip, so class is cancelled! And upon hearing the news, everyone decided to give CA as well as the ACS tutorial a miss! zzz... wasted trip to school! I was contemplating weather to go Jurong Entertainment Center to find Earns, JQ and JianLiang for billards. But I remembered that I had to meet Ah Mei, Ah Xian, Ah Qing and Ah A later at 4pm. No idea what their plans are at the moment... So I went home to sleep...again!

Well, the plan was to meet at the Botak Jones in Clementi Central at 6pm. Traffic was a havoc at those times! Waiting for the bus is already pure agony... and waiting in the traffic jam really can make me rip my own head off! Got to Central at about 6.30 by the way...

Today, is really the 1st time I had such wonderful western food! Its really the 1st time I was suffering when I struggled to finish a gigantic plate (Regular sized by the way!) of Fish n Chips! Lucky I didn't order the large plate! Only Ah A and I managed to "Clear Plate", the others knocked out haha!

And yea, Ah Mei told me even more bloopers about Ah Xian. There is an on-going TV variety show about "Good Food and Good Eateries in Poly/Uni Campus in Singapore". The Hosts were Felicia Chin and Xu Zhen Rong. I kinda remembered they were in SP that time, but I wasn't really interested. Anyways, just now about 3pm, Ah Mei and Ah Xian were at the Uni canteen ordering stuffs. Oblivious to them, the Mediacorp people were around and Xu Zhen Rong approached a "blur blur" Ah Xian, asking her what's her order. And obviously Ah Xian being a "tourist to Singapore", does not recognize the TV personality. Her reply to him was "I want rice soup!" Only after she was told by Ah Mei, then she realized her blooper! Oh My God! And to add on to the 'insult', there was another blooper about Ah Xian and a "Handsome Bus Driver" in campus! Everyone just laughed their heads off! It was just an enjoyable dinner with my family!

It came to me as a surprise that Ah Xian was in Singapore! She's down here for holidays after her exams, also to check out Ah Mei's University. Due to my schedule, I was unable to bring her out. Luckily I was able to squeeze some time out! 2 days ago, we went out shopping at Vivo City and Orchard Road. And yesterday, prata at NUS with Xian, Ah Mei and Ah A.

One in, one out. The "out" was mommy. Today, Mommy took a flight back to Kuching to meet up with Wai Po and Mommy's Sisters (My Ah-Yees). If I'm not wrong, the All-Ladies outing would be at Kota Kinabalu. Glad Mommy went on the family trip. And yea, hope she will enjoy herself. Just now, Pa and I sent her off at Senai Airport in JB. She'll be gone for about a week and will be back next Saturday. Guess I'll have to be a good boy and not create havoc at home!

Roti Prata Muahaha!

Below: Self-made Prata! Woo!

Having seen the frozen prata dough in my fridge, I guess I might just try my hands at making my own Roti Prata. So, I imagined myself as a "Pro Roti Prata Uncle" and remove the 1st piece of dough from its packaging... I splashed the dough on the zinc surface of the sink (Cleaned the sink 1st) and I tried to emulate the Prata Uncle's dough-spreading technique... disaster... forgot to put oil on the zinc surface! The dough got too sticky and it was misshapened! I added some oil, but it got worse... crap! So I dumped the 1st piece of dough away (Mommy was like "Aww, wasted food..")

The second piece of prata (D-shaped) was made by mommy! She told me just cook the prata normally and that the dough don't need too much flattening. So, I scrapped the idea of acting like a pro and I just carefully removed the nd piece of dough from the packaging and gently spreaded it thin. Then I sprinked finely grated cheese and folded it up before tossing it into the teflon! Add a bit of curry (From the Prata Uncle) and hehehe... self-cooked prata!
