Yesterday, I was feeling so tired when I was coming back home from my japanese class...but my mood was so much better when I saw this when I entered the lift...
This cute cat was inside the lift, apparently enjoying the ride....I dont know how long it was in there or how long it stayed after I left but it was so funny...haha. I love cats..I dont know why..I MISSED my cats at tengah so much...are you all still alive?

What a night...
Went to ExxonMobil D&D last night ....at Ritz Carlton...Though I am not an employee of Exxon, I got to go thanks to Grace and Lifen...and I must say I really enjoyed myself! The theme was "Retro" and it was quite funny to see pple dressing up at austin powers and elvis presley...u know who u r...haha. Nice meeting some of my old chem eng frens...didnt noe that exxon actually absorbed such a huge proportion of my cohort!
The function was really good ...sigh..if only my company is like that....Just look at the door gift!! Its so cool! A super retro radio..I loved it. The host was hilarious as well, makes the event so enjoyable. After that, the super swa ku me, finally got a chance to go visit one of the rooms in Ritz Carlton...haha..the bathroom is so nice...I must book the room next time...when I am richer.
The dancing at Double O nearly killed me...We danced from 12 to 4! Frens who know me know that I dont chiong and dont drink so yesterday night was really my most happening night to date. My whole body is aching! haha..and I am getting rashes again becos of the alcohol...damnit! I am so tired....Just finished a bowl of maggie mee...going to sleep and hopefully I will be able to wake up and be fresh for my jap class later.....zzzzzzzzzzz
Lifen, Eileen and me trying to act cute...
The three of us again..and Grace..

Are you watching closely?
Watched Prestige today and learn quite abit about magic...haha. This show is not in my "Must watch" list but I lost...Majority wins....:( My frens all said no to my suggestion of watching "The Sinking of Japan" ...hmm I really wonder why ?? But anyhow, its not a bad show after all..lots of twists in the show and I think Christian Bale and Michael Caine are terrific actors...The movie kinda started slow at the beginning and I nearly fell asleep..but when they started on the rivalry between Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, the movie really picked up and got more interesting. Although I got lost abit due to the non-linear storyline, the ending kinda answered all the questions that I have.
Holidays are always so short...the next holiday will be Christmas which is 2 months away...sigh..so its gonna be work work and more work from now on. I am so tired..I think I am losing my voice. 2 kbox sessions in a week and all the jay chou rap ...lol. I really need a rest...
Sinking of Japan ...anyone?
I need a break
After working my ass off for so many months, I finally cleared the pile of work on my desk yesterday. Today is a holiday and wednesday will be a new start! Its 8am and I am not working, but I dont know why I got up at 730...maybe I am so used to getting up early. I am still wondering what I should do today..wanted to go vivocity and watch a movie, but apparently none of my frens want to entertain me....hmmm, should I go alone?

Saw the trailer for the upcoming movie "Sinking of Japan" ...thought its really cool with very good effects.

Buttercup.....
Met up with my ExxonMobil engineers and fellow IA frens today...Really nice to catch up with them cos I think the last time we met up was nearly a year ago. We went kbox but didnt really sing much... end up talking and gossipping the whole time....hahaha. Brought back lots of memories of my IA 2 years ago at exxon. The best time I had during my four years in NUS is not in NUS but when I was in exxon. I nearly didnt make it into exxon...haha. I still remember I was quite disappointed when I looked at the list of selected IA students and I was not on the list. But in the end I got a call telling me that I was on the standby list and I get to start earlier at the refinery in Jurong Island. Its been 2 yrs and I am glad we are still meeting up. I might even be gate-crashing their DND next week! lol.

Sushi King my ass
Sushi King in Malaysia is the most un-japanese japanese restaurant! No wonder there are no Sushi King outlets in Singapore. I mean I thought Sakae is bad enough but this one is really the ultimate. Just happen to have my lunch there after my short trip to my malaysia plant on tuesday. Firstly, this is a jap restaurant that doesnt serve green tea! I ordered tori teriyaki soba, and while waiting for my food to come, I decided to observe the sushi chef. I saw him blatantly putting rice into a "sushi maker" machine and out pops the rice cubes. Then he went to the fridge and took out a styrofoam tray. From there he took out the sliced fish and put in on the rice....yeah thats Sushi King's sushi. No skill involved at all! Then my soba came and the serving size was pathetic. Like kids serving. Absolutely disgusted.
Then today I was at malaysia again and me and my manager went to a bah kut teh stall. The place was infested with flies. That I can live with but just as I was ordering..I saw a freaking huge black lizard zoom across the wall and go behind the pile of bowls which they use to serve the rice....omg. My appetite was totally gone from that very moment.

Happy Birthday to ME!
Hey Frens...thanks for remembering my birthday! Especially edward, victor, nelson, tim, susan, mag, yufen, bernard, jac, qinghuan, adrian, jeremy, vincent and ken who sent me their well wishes. Hehe. Had quite a frantic morning, trying to rush out my work before I take my half day leave. My buddy tim who took half day leave to entertain me! Of course he got his reward for doing so....haha. Free movie and dinner!
Went to watch "The Departed". Had quite high expectations for this show but ended up slightly disappointed. Not that its bad, maybe its just not good enough. Or maybe the original Infernal Affairs is just too hard to top. Personally, I thought the movie was too draggy, often out of focus and tries too hard. Too much emphasis on Jack Nicholson when the main characters should be Leo and Matt damon. They did not play on the interesting relationship between these two characters like the original, in fact in this version, the two didnt cross path until the very end. Who could forget the moment in the original where tony leung was kicked out of police school and he looked back at Andy lau who was in the squad. Sadly, the US version did not capture any of that. The ending was also kinda unnecessary. They should have just left it like the original. Oh well...a good effort though.
Went to Tim's favorite wanton mee stall at Paradiz after the movie. Although this was my third time there, it was the first time I thought the mee actually tasted good. Hahaha, maybe i was too hungry.
Every year, I have the practice of buying something for myself on my birthday. Last year I bought a pair of jeans. This year I bought a pair of shoes...
The day passed by so quickly....I am officially 26..feels kinda old. The big thirty is just four years away..OMG.

One Year On.....
One year ago, on 6th October 2005...I finally ORDED...Its been a long time, since my enlistment in 22 April 1999. Although, in between I went for my 4 year course in NUS, but it really felt like I completed NS after 6 and half years. I still remember that I felt abit lost after ORD, wondering when I will get my job, whether I will like my job, whether it will be related to what I studied and whether the pay will be good... and all my frens around me already got a job really didnt help the situation. Now that one year has passed, some questions have been answered, but some not. Well, I got a job and its totally not related to chem engineering. The pay is well...okay i guess. But I am not sure if I like what I am doing. I am beginning to have new questions. Like when should I leave this company? Do I deserve better in another company? Do I really want to pursue my career in this area? I guess with every questions answered spawn new questions...it never ends. Today is 8th October 2006. I wonder what my life will be like on 8th October 2007....
Return me my clear blue sky!
Yesterday I open the door to my house to this .... The haze is really getting so bad, I wonder what caused my cough and flu for the past week...is it someone in my office who started the virus spreading or is it the haze?
The view from my lift lobby
I took this while on the train at jurong east.....only one thing come to my mind.....BLOODY IN*******ANS.

Children's day
Its 12 mins past midnite so Children's Day is officially over. Its been 14 years since I last celebrated Children's Day, where we get a day off from school and we have to sing the "SAMA SAMA MEJUGE HADAPAN.." song. Until now I still dont know what the hell the song meant.
I still remember during Children's Day, my mum will wake me and my younger brother up early in the morning, and rush all the way down to the old Plaza Singapura to attend the annual Children's Day Carnival. They will give out goodie bags and have lots of games and entertainment for the kids. Of course being the super kiasu mum, she want us there to queue for the goodie bags. Haha...the goodie bags contain mostly foodstuff...sweets for the kids and I cant remember what else. All I remember is the queue is freaking long. Everything seems to be quite enjoyable until I went to secondary school and my mum still drag me to the carnival with my bro. As I was really small sized for my age, my mum happily pass me off as a primary school kid and forced me to queue for the goodie bag. It was kinda embaressing. Luckily the madness soon ended when she realised that I am really getting too old to be called a Primary 6 boy every year. Hmm, or is it becos Plaza Singapura closed down for major facelift? Haha, I really cant remember...but those were the days, the days of innocence...where a small bag of sweets is enough to make you happy....

Nihon Ressun No. Ichi!
I am so exhausted....Went to the gym early this morning and then went down to orchard for my first Japanese Class followed by a 4 hr karaoke session with my frens. Gosh, I think I will be so dead at work tomorrow.
Anyway jap class was really interesting. We got a very funny and Kawaii sensei. The japanese language is really alot harder than I thought. I mean, before today I only know "Ohayoo Gozaimasu" "Arigatoo Gozaimasu" and "Sumimasen" but today it was the real deal...hahaha. The Japanese words are really complicated and next week I will have my first spelling test! OH MY GOD. Homework and study again! STRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSED. But I think I am going to enjoy it.
