Xmas day

Relax at home

Boxing Day

New Year Eve

Never go out/ any countdowns. Such events are not my cup of tea, squeezing with people. I would prefer hang with group of close friends doing simple things. In the end also never watch countdown on TV. Played MGS4 bought earlier. A must buy for PS3 fans !!! Faster buy PS3 then we can play game together , play online is FREEEEE !!!

New Year Day

John, Boyin and I attended my ex-colleague Amin's wedding. Its my first time attending a malay wedding. Met John and Boyin at Tampines interchange before headed to his place.

We reached the place and there was a crowd. The pity was as we just came he left back his home. So the 3 of us sat at one corner having lunch and talking, gossiping and complaining about work. Lunch was Nasi Briyani, Mee siam and some desserts buffet style. After around 1h with Amin not in sight, we decided to leave and left our angpows with his mother.

Then we went to Century Sqaure to watch IP MAN !!! Only left with front second row seats, no choice. Damn its one of the best kung fu show after Huo Yuan Jia and Ong Bak !!! You see how fast Donnie Yen punches the Japanese General, lighting speed. The show is not all violence, the first part is very funny when Donnie Yen and Master Liao having a duel at home. His son cycled on his tricycle to tell his Dad to stop fighting else everything in the house would be broken. Everyone in the cinema laughed till their stomach hurts

After movie, bid the guys farewell as was heading for BBQ with Kai's friend at East Coast Park. Met Kai as he cycled there. We were the first to reached the BBQ site, where is the organizers? Soon Hong Jing, his gf, Zhao Hong, his gf, Zhi Qiang and another girl Xiao Feng came. It was a small scale and healthy BBQ. First time i ate such dry satay. Only the chicken wings are worth mentioning, however most of the wings are charred.

Most of the food are finished except for otahs. Then they decided to play a game, the loser would have to finish the otahs. We played zhong ji mi ma. There were 8 players with 12 big otahs. The game seemed to be predestined. Xiao Feng, Kai and Zhi Qiang throughout the game did not eat any otahs. Out of the 12 otahs, I ate 3. The otah was big, spicy and salty had difficulty to even finish 1.

That night could feel MSG attack, i felt so thirsty and kept drinking water. The taste still lingered till the next day.

2nd Jan Fri

After work was having my dinner when XX called me. He told me was with Jimmy and wanted to come out to watch movie. I say ok and met them at Plaza Sing's Cafe Cartel. As usual, talk cock, gossip and complaining. There was not much shows to watch as Ong Bak 2 not out. In the ended bought tickets forBedtim stories The show was hilarious with Adam Sandler being a cock !!! Can i have the cherry red ferrari for FREEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we called Kelvin and Garrad out for supper but they were busy. Then we headed to HK Cafe at Katong to have supper. Damn there was no customer an the service was damn slow !!! Reached home at 4++

3rd Jan Saturday

The next day felt so tired and woke up at 230pm. I was supposed to help Joyce settle her computer which I fixed for her. Kiat loon came to pick me up while headed to Joyce's office with Xin Hua and his mother. Joyce's office is located near Ubi and was rather big compared to my current office. Damn the new Kingston RAMS i bought were faulty couldn't believe it !!! In the end installed Vista for her sis and now running on 1GB of memory.

When with Kiat Loon and Joyce's worker to help with their project. We were supposed to fix the banner for CK Department store at Chinatown. Damn the police had closed the roads leading to Chinatown due to the lighting ceremony tonight bad news for us!!! We had to carry the banners and ladders across the crowd as the police had also blocked the access to overhead bridge. With the increasing crowd, work for us was more difficult luckily managed to settle it. Then we headed back to his home before going out with dinner.

They were deciding what to eat for dinner and mentioned about crabs. Then my itchy mouth mentioned to eat the crab been hoon my cousin brought me previously That taste of the heavenly soup can never be forgotten. Off we headed for dinner with Kiat Loon, Xin Hua, Joyce and her colleague Denny.

Surprisingly there was no crowd and managed to find a place. Joyce ordered:

Si Ji Dou
KL Hokkien Mee
Fried Chicken mid-joints
Some fried prawns VERY NICE
1 Crab Bee Hoon Soup add soup and Bee Hoon

This time the soup did not taste that heavenly and rich. It tasted more diluted apologizes to Joyce. After dinner went back home. Then Kiat Loon asked me wanted to meet Chong Kai who came back from Australia since Xmas. Arranged to meet at Siglap the HK Cafe. I asked Kiat Loon if I can drive his car , he agreed.

Another nerve-wrecking experience cos this car is much bigger than Avante but auto so not much worries. First time drove on expressway and hit my personal highest 80km/h, we came out bedok, PIE. Then gave up as I was unable to judge a 3-point turn need to hand-over to the lao jiao.

Reached the cafe and soon Chong Kai and Yong Xin reached. Chong Kai seemed to be doing well and would be going back Australia during March, wow such a long break ! Talk cock, gossip and complain till around 1++ then headed back home.

Thank you Joyce for the dinner !!!

4th Jan

Soccer at CCHS. Met Jeremy and gang around 11am and was informed that the school had changed the security guard and we were unable to enter to play ball. After much discussion they decided to play at Cage from 1-3pm , 2hs for $90 instead of $180. Then we headed to Kallang Mac for breakfast and talk about soccer. Around 1230 left for Cage. We had a total of 9 players so its 4 V 5. A real taste of skills, stamina and endurance. For those who played at Cage before you know how tiring it is, even worse with an unbalanced team.

Left the gang at 3pm and cycled home waiting for Jimmy and XX to come over my place to play PS3. Sadly XX swam too much last night and could not come. Jimmy came over played soccer had dinner together before leaving as he had to send his brother back to came.

Jimmy thank you for coming !!!
