byes y'all

oh yes, it's finally over.

after weeks of hell and fretting over microbes, its finally over. sometimes i wonder why i put myself thru such rubbish, having dropping thinning hair, ulcers erupting in my mouth, having that palpitation once too often in the day, profused cold sweats on my palms and soles and that inability of somnolence at night. if only, if only. after that scare in m1, i still didnt learn my lesson!!

somehow, the situation just seemed to have escalated in m2, though im supposed to have been more mature..haha..luckily for me, the past few wks would have been much worse if it hadnt been for zhong and daniel(dq) around..rain or shine, sunday or monday, they'd be there..ready to answer any queries that i have..not forgetting zhong for going thru staph aureus with me the day before the paper!! wooohoo!

yes well, im going to blog this down and possibly hyperlink to the side bar, to always remind me of what hell i have been thru.

dear hb,

remember how your heart literally sank thru your gut into your testicles everytime u looked at the microb board on the 2nd level? i felt that.

remember how you looked at bartonella, bordetella, brucella, bacillus, bacteriodes, and thought they were all the same?

remember how miserable u were that u almost screamed out at your girlfren..but den u didnt, and that i'm proud..and how u resumed that same ritual a year later, day in day out, wake up go library come home sleep routine..

remember how you couldnt sleep the night before the exam, and woke at 4am to go thru parasites (THANK GOD!) and den u couldnt sleep again 2 nights later..basically making in 6hours of sleep out of 72, well preparing u for the next subaru challenge?

remember how when everyone (esp zhong) started spouting out 'bacillus anthracis.....a case in central london happened this way...any form of anthrax eventually leads to septicemia and death' and dq's "yes! rhodococcus equi..causes pneumonia in the immunocompromised" and u nod wide-eyed in amazement and admiration but at the same time inside your cardiovascular system goes into full steam and cold sweat starts pouring out of your pores again.....

that you could actually not go thru all these if u had been consistent from week (not saying everyday) 1?

remember that.

love,
hb.

too much of a breather

i think that's it. the weekend has done its bid to finish me off.

rather too much of a breather, too much time spent under the blankets. its 9.41pm now, and i think i should be off to really kill of microb. there's not much time left, i dunno what im still doing here. there's much to be accomplished..i hope i can...

there's a man u match at 3.55am later, i hope i can stay up and mug till at least that time. and hopefully, i would have fallen asleep and miss the match and wake up intime to drag myself to school. yeah, no time to waste. its microb time. why i stress that...i can afford to put myself under undue stress for the pros, although i should be. neither do i want to get less than mediocre grades anymore. yes, i have a penchant for tripping over at t/f exams, and still do, and there's nothing i can do about. i can only just remember as much as i can and play the 'safe' way. its demoralising many times when u dont get how others can do it when u cant..

okay, off now, no more internet, yes internet, until friday. no more tv as well. its a killer. its school.

good afternoon everybody

i have half a mind to go home for a nap, but NO! its neuroscience paper tmr and its critical for me to pass it well in order to enjoy my hols! not to mention pull up my grades befallen by the unscrupulous MB track..fuck!!

well, just done cofm and pharmaco, no more for the rest of m2!! yayy!!

yes, in the library now...guess what, this pc is the only one that can access the AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEURORADIOLOGY..yes thats right, currently researching on Parkinson's Disease now, though im quite an expert at it now i guess..hurhur...

had wisdom tooth extraction done 2 days ago by some D4, piangs, i regret man! not the D4 lah, but the surgery..wahlao..painful siah!! luckily she said i took it out..cos of my infection lots of granulation tissue..thus made the tooth more hardy to extract..wahlao, dunno how to survive the next one man, i feel dam sad, the only 'solid' food ive taken so far is porridge, and thaat makes me really hungry siah!1 i wanna peng oredi..whole day liquid diet, soya bean, milk, milo, pepsi lite, whatever what not. grrr...

plus 5 drugs to take, amoxicillin-antibiotic, famotidine- h2 antagonist, eheh! naproxen sodium- painkilla serrapeptidase-reduce swelling (BUT STILL SWOLLEN), and chlorhexidine- mouthwash. lanjiao!! i wanna eat !!!

eh, do this leh, wahlao, dam uncooperative lor you, the blogwhore.

discovery channel travel and living

is my new favourite soup of the day..

i can't wait, i can't wait..i can't wait till i get all of these done and put away.. get out of this place, to a totally different environment, where alcohol and booze and the stars of the world degenerate my cerebrums..just kidding, since cheang reads this, maybe just abit not too much..

i watched as megan mccormick traversed australia's east coast to lizards island, the southern most tip of australia, magnet island, diving in the great barrier reef..and then some american lady reviewing the most romantic, laidback country inns of st adele in canada, reeking of french canadian flair...

i want to go diving, i want to go backpacking..everyday im reliving those days in cambodia, and of course, without doubt, europe...i want to see the worlds, not just on solid ground, but under the water as well, find fat albert and the sunken shipwrecks..

cheap booze, diving in thailand anyone? krabi?

to dear kennabis bro: i am fine, read as above, struggling at exams. love, hb.

well well..friday was the day of hair straightening...brought the revlon along to school cos lynnpoops needed it for her pageant later that evening...and so during bones prac we were too bored at the back, and i whipped out the trusty clamps, unplugged the microscopes and begin to warm it up literally...first up, isaac's..gotta say commendable job done..hahha..and nextup was ian...unfortunately i could only make it less curly and not all that straight despite being at high heat..hahhaa..and den it was dehan, who, erm, should take care of his hair more meticulously, it was tough but i made it pretty straight..wavy..kinda...at least, NICER LAH! hahaah...

'tis the season to be wang4 wang4

oooh we usher in the year of dog with some doggy biscuits..hmm yummy! say goodbye to the good ole' monkey..was it the monkey?? oh no..it was something else..goat?? i cant remember.. but! remember to return all things u owe..unless of cos u deliberately want to borrow over the new year to usher in good luck..like red camera, red car, etc, but dun share red underwear ah!!

yes....speaking about that, the cny mood certainly rubbed off me from furry cheang this year, wad with the madness shopping and town EVERY (note, not every OTHER) day, as we scoured for the best buys and the best deals available.. yes in recent years i havent been celebrating the festives, as i find the festive season a chance to get away and relax rather than get into all the hustle and bustle and irritate myself by all the rush and the crowds..seemingly the mood has rushed back all to me again, new this new that new everything!! even for christmas and newyr's lor, according to cheang's logic everything should be new..so that u usher in good luck! yes that's right!

yes and what better way to usher in the new year than to support our RED lions at kallang?? we watched as not alas, siah missed chances after chances before my hero indie saddam scored a consolation goal..mann, that was the highlight, with everyone in the stadium cheering and jumping..hmm damned, i should have gone to the tiger cup final lor..piangs..yeahh and that said, i put on my red jersey for good luck (mine, not the lions) and lo and behold i won a maxell lanyard...but the angpow money anytime man..

yeah, and so we trawled orchard road for many times huh, at first only supposed to get a cny shirt since i decided i had new jeans tucked away, courtesy of thailand, and new socks which i forgot to take out of the plastic bag..and of course new undies! its a tradition every year that i get new undies..and every year during cny, MUST wear red colour underwear..for good luck.. den wang wang what! yes, it is true that a certain pair of red undies used to be my good luck pair which i wore on the day of my races, esp for finals..but that has since been passe..

finally i found a decent top to go with my new jeans..actually wanted to get the dockers flat front chinos one, but cheang thinks its too ahpei and i think its too secondaryschool pants style..urgh! quite comfy though..so NO, i did not decide on this red mandarin collar top from paragon but it looked quite good though! gongfu style den i can go bai nian perhaps get more angpows cos i seem to be so wang wang..haha..got a bright orange and pink and red striped shirt lah..bright bright can oredi lah...yes i noe very me..

so well it concluded with several new stuff as well, new bedsheets from aussino in blue, since i oredi had a red one and that ran out of the yellow DAMNED! courtesy of cheang since she thot its half priced on the 2nd one might as well get another one right?! not bad..but since i wanted this new year to be wang wang(!) i decided to just wash my red bedsheets and red quilt covers and red pillow cases so i can wang, and since i saw my parents using the old but clean sheets i decided to pass them on the new ones i got..hurhur...

finally concluded our tiring shopping with dinner at the food republic and wisma with some good ole' beef noodles, man! its really nice now the decor and all, damn ole' school, somemore got this guy go push this wooden cart ard sounding his horn like karang guni...actually it sells drinks from table to table so u dun have to go to the stall..and of course all the old kopitiam style lah, dam funky lah dunno how to describe oredi..yeahh and with my face all burnt red for the new year, man! im gonna wang this season! btw the foto was taken a few weeks ago when we first went..that was during xmas, nice siah! the foto..like we in some foreign land unfortunately the food republic sign gave it away..

yes this year of dog i wish everyone a happy new year, may all get angpaos lots and treat me with kindness and respect..some resolutions: to study hard and pass well lah, what else is new, pass my driving..hopefully the redness wangs will gimme that, strike rich, stay healthy, be toned, make everyone happy..yeahh..and stay happy..that's the gist..GONGXIFACAI EVERYONE! this year sure WANG! cos thats how the dog barks, WANGWANG! yup and lets not take credit away from the gou, that's from char haha her new dog..she's smart char that hot girl, a new puppy to usher in the year of the dog, now THAT'S WANG MAN!!

now thats what they mean by..every dog has its day..year..
p.s. anyone wants to go bainian together!

Black

Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

up up and away

its not very often that u get to talk on the phone, rattling and rambing away without a care in the world about the time, what u gonna do tmr, whether uve studied enough, whatever. its not very often that a girl like that pops by and keeps u company thru the night, talking about everything under the sun..from the silliest things to the downright serious stuff...hahahha how thankful i am!

so our breakfasts usually turn into lunches...well then again, who says we need to eat breakfasts...breakfasts gimme stomachaches anyway...and breakfasts make u fat. hmm yep that's right. haahahah

so one fine morning, while the streets of orchard were empty... cheang and i trotted down to macs after chatting for what seemed like, no, it WAS some good 4 or 5 or 6 hours...with some grey's anatomy in between..to meet for breakfast at 7 in town...hahahaha gosh were we sleepy..

somemore it was like a weekday morning siah..shouldnt the roads be busy with pple going to work and children be sent to school... look at it siah! at lido traffic light..look at the no. of cars hogging the roads!! 0!!!

amazingly, the only other time i saw this happen was during the new year's countdown like eons ago, i can't remember when but it was littered with sprays and cans and rubbish...mann am i proud singapore's clean!!

and mcdonald's pancakes it was for breakfast..the very first customers for the morning...like how STRANGE is that...don't pple eat breakfast anymore...macs opens at like what, 6plus..and nobody was there at like 8??! nvmd..enjoyed the hotcakes anyway..my first since i was a kid..haha well 1) i nv eat hotcakes, always big bf or sausage mcmffin with egg 2) i never ever wake up in time! man, do i sound like a bitch or wad.

hahaha ya and so it happened again last nite...tho really cudnt hold up any longer after not sleeping for nearly 24 hrs and racking my brains for the damned CAs..

and im up again at 10...its gonna be a fab tuesday.

are u feeling lonely tonight?

just read stef's blog and can't really think of a title anyway..im unoriginal.

CAS ARE OVER!!!!!!! for now...another one coming up in hmm, 1,2 months? sucks.

anyway caught elizabeth town with cheang today..not bad, pretty good show..abit draggy tho, but man! was the soundtrack good...perfect for those lazy sat/sunday afternoons where u just do nothing but laze around and watch tv..go out in the sun..zip around the countryside...just that bit of music to liven things up..

after that, finally met up with stef before she leaves tmr morning. and pple i havent seen for a long time too, sarah, lum, melvin....everyone just kinda disappeared...it was really nice seeeing everybody, and i was really glad i met stef, though not many words were exchanged...in fact not many words were exchanged the whole time... its that warm fuzzy feeling u noe, like a feeling of those good ole times when all of us would meet together..just to slump into that silent lull..everyone just sitting around..think things havent gotten better though..i guess everyone was just tired...grr..nothing a little alcohol wouldnt do.. yeah i miss those ole times.

perhaps, perhaps its bcos of what happened. well. its kinda sad.. after all..he's my friend. one of those i've known the longest amongst everybody. we've seen each other thru from 13 till 20..k maybe 19..we were even pretty close in some pointS along those 7 years. and well, i guess the mutual respect for each other has always been there.. we respected each other's strengths.. and i still do. those times when we were competing on the track..those times we were competing in class..all our achievements somewhat parallelling each other..well that was 4 years in ri..there's been rough patches, fights, but in the end, we still pulled thru..in the end, we still had loads of fun together, ri, rj..its just sad that things turned out this way. i mean of cos, im happy for him now, but i wont deny that ive drifted away from the grp becos of the 2 of them..yeah no hard feelings anyway anyhow, never have been. it's just that it'd be weird.

so sorry stef, if i havent been mambo-ing sometimes..u know the reason/s other than mugging or busy, hahaha..and well, not going for mambo doesnt mean that i care for u any less :)

ya well, happy hari raya pple

and oh gosh!!! are there many pple online today!!!

happy new year!

well, what's a new year without a post!
hahaha...like hunter puts it..the run-up to the new year was exciting, but the new year was just, well. BAH.

hahaha..'twas a great get together for the 5 of us huh..plus our loved ones..soon to be loved ones..the food was great, even though the steamboat wasnt eaten much..the stock, was actually quite fantastically yummy...so too was yk's successful hokkien mee buy...and also wanker's bread pudding which took the cake..and YUM, those sausages were good man! well done bros. let's make this an annual thing. as jokes were shuttled across here and there, yk with his silly drinking games which totally cracked everyone up...the mind numbing mahjong which made furry really good..hahah..watching yk winning11 at the couch with sm was really cute though..and it was good seeing jo and sab after such a long hiatus..nothing beats having your best friends together having a meal and a whale of a time :)

and den, it was the new year's eve. a totally refreshing one, considering i've been counting down and partying away the last few new years, yes, even the last, it seemed sooo long ago. which was in cambodia, some pub i cant remember...as fireworks go off so very near outside, pple cheering and screaming..sometimes being in church thanking god for all that has happened it the past year is nice.

so i missed the fireworks, but at least i had someone to hug after, for a joyous 2005 that has passed, erasing the demons of old that was 2004, probably the most cursed year ever.. and i guess it couldnt get any worse than that...2005 was truly a rewarding and fulfilling year. i've grown soo much. the passing of my exams, the travelling(!!!!!), friends, and of course furch.

maybe 2006 neednt have much resolutions, i say much because there's just too many which are carried over from the past i cant remember anymore..lets just say i wish things to be good, just like everyone else does. and that i'm happy, and so too those around me.

2006 is gonna rock man! wooooo~

medifreak!

you know ure turning into one when

1) u start worrying about your work 3 days before the new year,

2) den u start to read thru your notes

3) u laugh at medijokes (okay, im a bit slow there)

4) ur room starts to resemble more and more like a consultation room

5) ur choice entertainment is watching medical dramadies like grey's anatomy and house md.

argggggggh why must CAs be right after the new year!!!

MERRY XMAS EVERYBODY!!!

its so good to be christmas! perhaps one of my most meaningful and definitely greatest christmas ever..finding out the true meaning of christmas, soaking into the atmosphere, and of course spending it with your loved one till the wee hours of the christmas morning...

im feeling so festive i've been watching tv nonstop, watching xmas mtvs and shows haha..like ms teen usa..woohoo...i love california...

peace out!

AND MAY ALL YOUR WISHES (AND MINE) COME TRUE!!!!

waaah!!

in the wake of the nkf scandal, kpmg undug out more dirty linen to show for, having only a fucking 10cents for every dollar donated going to the kidney patients..that bloody durai and richard yong better wake up their senses and i hope proper justice is being brought against them. better sue their asses off and strip them of their every assets and return them to the other much deserved charities.

its even more heartwrenching when u read the hard cold facts that, its in fact 'ordinary singaporeans, not the rich singaporeans' who are committed donors to the charities...and yet the rich continue to sieve off these hard earned funds, not only from these donors, but also from those volunteer their time to help raise these funds. damned, if you, my friend, or rather, WHEN you get rich, please share some of it with those who need it more and not waste your money on another car when u already have 3, nor should u splash out $10k on a single bet at the world cup and laugh when u lose it. singapore pools is not a charity.

as much as nkf is much detested now, i must say that the donors who recently withdrew from committing to nkf and those who blasted the call centres ought to reflect much more than that. the old nkf is no longer in management and its the new nkf now, don't forget that the money still goes into helping the PATIENTS and NOT INTO THE POCKETS OF DURAI AND CO anymore.

so much for the merry christmas giving huh.

oh, and for a rare peek into the other side of etong, please click on 'etong' on the bottom right, for thats just about the most u can get out of her hahaha.

waaah

waaah...everyone's either coming back from hols or have left this week...waah...im spending it in comfy singapore..

top 5 xmas shows!!

best movie ever!!

santa clause!! a really silly show..but hey, i was a kid..and when ure a kid...everything just seemed funny.. 

hahaha I LOVE THIS!!! nv got sick of it..its like my favourite show..and at the end when they showed him reunited with his mum infront of rockefeller centre with the huge xmas treee...maann!! 

hahaha cannot remember a 5th one so here it is!! 

i moved i moved

i moved i moved, i moved thru my dreams, every night i have several..its not that i have fitful episodes of sleep, even though i sometimes do, i reckon i just sleep too much!

just the other night, actually just two nights ago, i dreamt that i was on a train, somewhat similar to the ones in europe, maybe not so nice...but actually i was on a train travelling thru malaysia..and hey, even though its so close to home, i reckon i know the streets of london better than the roads of malaysia! i was absolutely clueless as to where langkawi, redang, and even penang was until i read lonely planet a while ago..i didnt noe langkawi was so high up!! that u could actually take a bus ride to krabi or koh samui!! like how cool is that!! i'm so gonna do it lor..and yes, as much as i want to see the rest of the world, lets reserve sometime for these neighbours of ours, i have so little time now, i wished i could go. but as much as the heart wants it, the flights are all fully booked. muahaha.

today's horoscope says that to say im intellectually inspired today is a tremendous understatement, i figure i can't let the stars down then! ooh i started reading partho today, am i good or what, all u holidaymakers out there, im gonna kickass next jan!! hoho..

on a sidenote, i havent been posting much fotos, maybe cos i havent been taking any..but 0oooh there're some of me and straightened hair, i look absolutely gorgeous! not to mention VERY young. but. im lazy.

what i want for xmas

oh lookie! its 10.03 am! i'm up! oooh so much for being able to sleep in huh..actually woke at 8.38am in the morning...hmm..like about the normal time i wake up for school....why whyy am i so diligent?! ooh..lets see..cos i napped/slept for 6hrs in the afternoon yestt..and den again at 2am..fwahh..that's alot!! no way am i going to waste another day..yes that's right..

hahaha...since i'm prob gonna meet my darling later for some xmas shopping..i might as well generate a list now...

lets see...
(in no order of preference)

-this season's manchester united jersey longsleeves size S HAHA..yes i noe they suck this year..but they still look good on the pitch! esp giggs and c.ronaldo...come on pple lets buck up!

-revlon ceramic straightener..enuff said... :P

-heineken 5L draft...again, enuff said.. hohoho!

-spongebob squarepants popcorn tin!!!

-cadbury's chocolate in tin!!

-baron's strongbrew 10pack with the 1m long torch!!

-lots of love around the world

-send out all my xmas cards

-some 6packs there and tan

-do something good and meaningful

-study for my damned CAs coming on jan 9th and score them well to even out my grades....

and of course, all i want for xmas is you... hahhaha :)

rent

hah, its long overdued. but had to blog cos i keep listening to the song over and over again.

actually a big draw factor to it was that karen mok was starring in it..and rent is a kinda big broadway show over at ny, and plus the tickets were really cheap!!! hahaha..yupp so hobbled over with sore legs with cheang, celebrating our 2nd month anniversary :) ahahha..it was a happy day.

well the show started out oright..but man, things really got livened up with all its themes, im glad i caught it, cos it was so real. at first i didnt quite get the angel and tom collins part, but man, were they good!! both of them!! their voices really complemented each other man. and of course maureen and joanne..woohooo their rendition of take me or leave me was much much more soulful and powerful than what's playing now (its from the movie soundtrack) and literally took my (and cheang's) breath away..haha...karen mok suited her role pretty well, until she opened her mouth..other than that, she was fab man, her costumes, her legs, her figure..woooosh.

quite sad though, cos angel's actually one of my fav characters..cos he's really energetic and sing really really well, and he was soo cute! ahahhaa..but of course, nothing tops it all than great company..think i enjoyed it very much cos cheang was there.

the past weeks been real sloww..nothing much exciting happened..in fact i can't even remember much..except trying to catch up with school work. time is ticking by and i havent even started organising my notes yet. yes that's right im running out of time and if i dun buck up. sigh.

okay..yup.

imovedimoved

i moved i moved, i moved my ass, i moved my legs, all 42.195 km of it! yes albeit a little slow..not to mention many unglam pics taken along the way...damned those fotographers can't they take glammer shots and at least let me know so i could pose?!?!

that said, i'm never gonna run another one again. such pure torture..and its not longer about ur stamina, its how much ur legs can hold..yes thats right, ur lungs are really fei4 (HAHA) i wasnt even panting but both legs were just cramping up so much..glad i made it in the end, albeit 40minutes of my target..but well, at least i met up with alot of friends along the way so that was pretty good..haha pretty amazed to see chongnyen there..cos i noe he hates running..hurhur..

well hey, nice finisher's shirt i've got and the medal too, but nothing beats the satisfaction that i've completed a marathon and will never do it again. HAHA.

and man, these past few days have been busy busy...i come home tired everynight. i just woke up from a 10 hr slumber, well deserved. whats next? biathlon, triathlon? mann am i boring or what. no, i want to go chill out, to booze. and i have so many great friends, that none replied my previous posts, so im staying in ulu sembawang to mug my ass away...sentosa here i come..

cheang has been great recently..putting up with all my crap...laughing at all my lame jokes :) ahahahaha....she has become lame...but hey, she's still cool ok.

yishi: HELLO YO! how've u been..are u coming back? please msn me at imovedyourcheese@hotmail.com! missed ya!!

natw: hahaha yes that's moderate..considering my usual doses...

peace out! hey town!

CAs are over!

yes it says it all!!!!!!!!
after 4 weeks of intensive mugging..5 or 6 or 7 or 8 for some..but 4 for me...its finally over!!

actually, it effectively ended a week before the final CAs, when i stayed home the entire week...no no, not to mug but to just wind out and relax..only mugged 1 or 2 hours a day..yes that was how burnt out i was...but, glad now.

kelong trip!! it was soo fun!! basically it was ALL ABOUT FOOD...GLORIOUS SEAFOOD! i wished i could blog it down, but im too lazy. well lets just say that i caught a catfish (small) after 7 yes that's SEVEN frigging hours, and i was how delighted..using the wrong rod and no hook notwithstanding...poor zhong i wished i could say the same, but man, u dunno how much your presence there meant to me. i think the best part during the whole trip was both of us chilling by the bridge, albeit for a really short while, but it really felt good. with denise too, i think u 2 peeps are one of those pple that i can really talk to..hmm..

well well if u want more photos, pls get from dehan! and if u want more indepth descriptive exciting blogs please visit ETONG, ZHONGYANG'S or TOE's blogs...

yupyuppp WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NO SCHOOL TMR!

heehee 

muahaha. life can't get any better than this. 

relaxed/crazy day... u decide

ahh..woke up bright and early at 7am in the morning, watch the sun shine on my bum and thot to myself, "what a wonderful sunday!"

so i went back to sleep. it's been a long time man, the past week's been nothing less than hectic, what with plentiful driving lessons and one referees course plus studying and furry..finally got to spend some quality time with my bed at home..yummm

lazed till 10..when i awoke to 3 smses, one from furry, izacyee abt soccer later and ale! woohooooo...it was lazing in my bed (again) for a round of friends before i scooted off to the match..yah that's when the crzy part began..was actually pondering if i shud skip it since i wanted to just slack at home..but heck lah, just go...turned out not such a great result, but who cares! got some exercise...

and lo and behold, as if the 90minutes of madness werent enuff, having to chase dead balls and old men, a worrying thot crossed my mind, dec4th is approaching fast so i'd better do something abt it. dropped by cold storage to get a litre of gatorade, eyeing several beers along the way (hoegaarden weiber, erdinger weiber and dunkel, san miguel pilsner, kilkenny draught and a 6packof corona wooo!) gulped half of it down, reached home put down my stuff........

and went for a 50minute, just a little past 8km run. yes, that after 90minutes of football. god, was it good! yes it was! my legs never felt sooo gooood. must have been that 90minutes that kinda warmed them up. almost died though, as i ran thru the countless restaurants/coffeeshops, smelling the marvelous fish head curry, nasilemak and sembawang seafood...god! i almost stopped after whiffing them. and mannn am i craving for them now. hehehehehehehhehe cheang, ure almost there...my evil getfat plan is well on its way...hehehhe

yupp and guess what after that run, got back and took a nice warm shower and headed down for dinner..lo and behold!! pasar malam!!!

oh yes!!! ramly burger!!! taiwan sausage!! tea eggs!! tutu kueh!! chicken wings!! WAAHHH hope its still there tmr man...wahhhh...

and mann the little heartlander/ahbeng in me woke up again, im so gonna get my stuff tmr man..its time for some heartlander shopping...(not forgetting the OKTOBERFEST 2005 ERDINGER COLLECTERS PACK!!!!)

little wonder why my 6 packs refuse to show....

HAPPY BELATED 20TH BIRTHDAY SERENA NG!!!

and all whom i've missed...haven't been keeping track of dates..nor days...ciaaaoo!
P.S. i didn't forget sarina's i just didnt realise the date till today.

oh, and here's one to you too, cheangster.

hee, and a happy 1st month, albeit a late one. the pizza and scary movie was good HUH! more to come more to come.

and blessings in marriage for those lulus and bobos and muscleman and wonderwoman.

here's one on manchester united

i've gotta give it to you guys man, everytime i wanna throw the towel/devilsjersey in, u guys just pop right back to shout it out, what can i say, watching the replay gets me on the edges of my torn sofa seats, even though i oredi knew that chelski wudnt bang in any goals, still, man!!! what a performance by the red boys man.

what can i say, i've gotta credit this to roy keane, and truly and well deservedly, alan smith, u DA MAN, MANN!!! what a game! what tackles, what commitment! and rooney as usual was fantastic. not to mention paul scholes who was just brilliant..and van der sar!! orite man. oh ya, roy keane, that's the way man, screw ur own teammates and get them to wake up. that's the way man.

yup, please make sure that me buying the red jersey ain't no money down the bin when it could be beer down the throat...i mean, i dun expect u guys to win the league lah, but please dun go around getting smacked 4-1 by some unknown riversiders..its just absolutely embarrassing when pple can't even pronounce franck quedrue or gaizka mendieta. here's the money to u, suckas.

a brudders night out at our all time schoolboy hangout, mambo billiards. for more action, narratives and pictures, jokes not withstanding, please refer to jasper's and weijia's or the famous one if u're sharp enough.

p.s. by the way, i'm really good at pool u know cheangster, i'm THE hustler.

can spot me not! just beside the woman with the cap. yeah, the black berms one. cute eh. that was at the start 

subaru challenge 2005

wooooo what an experience!

i woke up groggy at 6.30am, ate 2 slices of leftover pizza from canadian the previous night, and zoomed down to ngee ann city with my gear ALL READY FOR THE CHALLENGE MAN! met marksim and queued...only to get an early shock from this FAT BASTARD from gold 90.5 who told us we had to get our parents along cos we're nder 21...nabei, when we reached the front the girl just looked at our signed indemnity forms den give us the okay, fuck u fat bastard!

haha that wasnt all, we had to get in thru the lucky draw which was an hour later, so we popped down to paragon for a good sleep and a good shit. and marksim's lucky hand picked out an orange ball which got us thru! (but alec and yipkai didnt) poor dudes...we cudnt let them down so we went ahead inour cool beans tshirt which u can see on marksim...hahha

pre-challenge preps:
- eat subway
- shit two times in 2 hours
- drink gatorade
- sit in the oto chair
- sleeping in the taka makeup section
- sleeping while FD was talking rules

and woohoo it began!

1st shift, 1pm to 7pm:
-pure sianness, nobody talked, watched young beatboxers, got siandiaoed by not so hot maia lee, got really excited smiling and waving to very hot amanda behind barricades, waving to everybody who came down to support!! hello u guys!! it was pretty okay,.

2nd shift, 7pm to 1am:
wow! things got heated up! soo many pple!! finally pple dropped out... towards 12midnite, wahlan, both my feet dying...but den smses came in on the big screen! marksim and i became overnite celebs, literally. hahahah. during break, rush and eat. GOOD. daphne and delphia at the side cheering, dam psyched up, so,
" lets carry on man marksim!!! "

3rd shift, 1am to 7am:

HELL. FCKING HELL. from 1am to 3am lydat, oredi hallucinating siah..yah..u think 12 hours only very easy right, u go there and stand for 6 hours first, den u tell me easy or not..the legs gonna die oredi, hand still okay, den no crowd, cos why, all u babies sleeping at home soundly..me and marksim had to steady by talking to the pple beside us..who were dying..after talking for 15min, we thot a fewhours liao, but NO, FIVE MORE HOURS TO GO. LJ, talk to my girlfren oso not so long u noe, how to talk to stranger for so long while ure dam dulan!!?

and den. IT RAINED. IT RAINED!!!!!!!! omg, and so dam bloody cold. both of us were shivering so much we looked like we were having fits....not to mention that THAT STUPID BITCH drew us to be the 3rd last car to go for the break..MEANING WE GOTTA WAIT EXTRA 45 MIN before our break!! so basically we stood for about 7hours lah. basket. finally man, eat eat. den

voila! okay liao! "lets go for 20hrs man marksim!"

4th shift, 7am - 1pm:

still shivering like mad, funniest part was when mark was talking thru his shivers during the break, make me shiver-laugh, until i looked like i was havng convulsions...but den the sun rose, and kept us warm and awake..still we were falling asleep liao, kept dozing off, den the hand almost slipped..some hot tube girl walked past..so not so bad....
den...cannot lah..lets go lah..dramatic exit had to be cancelled last minute cos amanda brought her wh0le family..cannot paiseh..so only quit after they left..hahahhah

i dun think very worth it to go all the way lah. not fun one. its just plain stupid actually. as i was standing there, so many thots raced thru my mind, after 24 hours, it was like 'damned, another day wasted' doing nothing. aiya, anyway 2 imprezas only what, next time i become rich can buy how many..why torture myself..like 24 hours not enough lydat.. yup, here's my advice to u pple: dun take part in the challenge unless u really have a lot of time to waste. no time for busy pple like me man! -wink-

still, it was a great experience man, getting to know pple around u, getting close to the DJs and marshalls and photographers, like at the end of it, they're likeur frens and all, can recognise u and say hi and talk cock and everything...hhahaha and unlike many teams, whose friendship/relationships were prolly strained becos one gave up, ours were strengthened cos we met our target and all and really satisfied at the end of the day.

what an accomplishment! and oso, gotta thank peeps who came down to support us and peeps who smsed like daphne, del, char, cheemz and mc!



24 hours and 39 minutes of hell!!!


thanks yo peeps! they really helped in the dead hours of the night!!!

AND OF COURE..LAST BUT NEVER THE LEAST, MY DAD WHO CAME DOWN AT MIDNITE TO SUPPORT ME, AND MY BELOVED AMANDA WHO STAYED WHENEVER THERE WAS LIGHT.

yup, take part again next year? over my dead body man.

at the end of the challenge. shacked but satisfied. 24 HOURS AND 39MINUTES MAN!! BEAT THAT. check out marksim's ic on his abs..and the red ass on my right. thats what kept us going man!!

sad.

one morning, i flipped open the pages..the first 5 pages detailed deaths of pple and how they died.
last morning, i flipped open the pages..and it was all about terrorist bombings in india and how 3 indo sch girls were beheaded on their way to school in a sign of protest.
and a poor young saleswoman met her death just as she was promoting her death machine.

what's wrong with this world?

to add to that, i've still got the whole virology to contend with and bits of immuno here and there. and its gonna be a TRUE/FALSE thing this friday...ARGGH!! im so gonna die.

on a happier note, HAPPY DEEPA-RAYA TO ALL OUT THERE!!
thanks to you guys, i have a week's break. to study. :)
