Back From Genting / Friday, January 4, 2008


Really lazy to post now.. so i would juz briefly say the happenings.

Day 1.

Temperature: Abt 24-25 degrees
Fog: 2/5

Took a coach (grassland xpress) - 7/8 hr ride
reached at ard 2.30pm
checked in
ate at Kenny Rogers
ate at a Chinese Restaurant
ate at a Sushi Bar
ate at Coffee Bean
ate Famous Amos



Sushi






Watched AVP2 .. The killer of the whole trip.. killed my eyes. all the flashing of bright lights and red glows blinded me.









Went to Ven Helsing (haunted house) Jason kept pushing me. i had no choice bt to tank upfront. to say the truth.. i was really freaked out for the first appearance. $25 ringit not worth though.



Day 2:

Temperature: muz have been 18-20? or maybe lower? haha bad at this.
Fog:5/5

ate breakfast buffet (cereal, bread, sausage, eggs, rice, curry, chicken, fruits, milk, etc.)
ate Sushi again
ate Burger King (they have a really cool menu - SGD 1 for sundae , SGD 50 cents for cone ice cream, SGD 1 for apple pie and also the same price for Float!!)
ate KFC

Spent $38 ringit for a full day pass to the theme park which was closed due to the fog. real pisser.
only played a few major rides. (Vikings, Tea Cup, Go-Kart, some go-down-slope thing, Bumper, Motion Master, indoors rollercoaster)







Motion Master


Kiddy Ride in Genting Theme Park
Down-the-slope thingy in Genting Theme Park

Spent lots in a literal K-Box. Sang till our vocals went dry.

Was sick, caught a bad cold, slept for 4/5 hrs daylight time. Panadol Cold to the rescue.

Day 3

Temperature: abt 26 degrees
Fog: 0/5

Ate breakfast buffet
Ate Sushi again
Ate nifty snacks.

Shopped ard with Wen Zong - prices there are like, hmm.. for a m'sian, it would have been Sentosa. So i really went with the theme of novelty instead of spamming of goods, bt got Gatsby hair wax (cheaper than in Singapore)

K-boxed again.










Wanted to take a pic with a girl tending this stall, bt the rest hum-out. lol.
























============================================================

Casualties:

• Me (severe cold)
• Jason (severe tummy-ache)
• Wen Zong (lvl 5 headache)
• Daniel (severe fatigue)
• YL (induced fatigue)
• CJ (induced fatigue)

============================================================

Didn't manage to go to the Casino -was told that the age requirement was 21, didn't try to go in though.

Didn't manage to play Space Shot
Didn't manage to play the Outdoor Coaster rides

overall, it was mainly a eating/sleeping trip

Shop-Ink

Lol.. having quite a laugh here.. no one has gotten past the 1/4 page =).. lol.. added a few more Helpers to make things easier.

Juz came back from town. Lol that salesgirl had such patience with me and laughed at jem when he said:" tat thing looks like a corkscrew".. Was on auto-pilot throughout.. where ever jon and jem brought me i juz "/f" them.. (jon say it's a WOW command for following another character in the game)..

i was totally shack.. had overnighted at Kang Sheng's place after being at Dan's place to teach WZ guitar.. and the moment i got home.. i went out like 2 hrs later w/o sleep.. Went over to Jon's condo to swim..

LOL the reason why i didn't bear to sleep was that the weather was too good to pass on.. It has been like raining the whole of DEC and today's Sunny Afternoon was such a blue moon..

Went to town later. OH ya.. we had Killiney at the one next to the singtel building.. ate the kaya toast and curry chicken with bread. the Curry.. it was excellent..

haha and ya, we saw a neat OOOO sports car with a twin engine.. looked great and got jon abit high..


oh.. was at HMV with jon and jem and saw a couple of neat stuffs..









$85 - i will buy that.









$69 - it's a clock that appears to be whole-ly wood









$149 - a clock that looks LED with LED display (jem's choice)


I personally feel the $69 one is better.. it's like way too cool lah.. it's a clock that display through a wood interface.. wads so unique abt a LED clock that Looks LED??.. bt they both look good though..

3 Logy / Monday, December 17, 2007


3 Logy

Had some down time.. well my internet is going for an upgrade -> saddly no nintendo Wii
its a Singtel plan though. seems tat singtel is better than starhub despite the higher cost.
Goin for the 6mbps plan i think.. using the 512 one now.

Lol. if mum sees this she won't be too please. well there was a little confusion.. and is still on going. We had intentions of overwriting the 512 with the 6mb plan on the 17th of dec, which is today lah, bt a call to pacnet (512 service provider) informed us that such an overwrite was not possible unless there is a termination.. which is impossible to be done unless it is the end of the payment date (which is the last day of every month for me). my mum then did a call to singnet to change the start date of the 6mb plan to the 31st of dec, so that we wouldn't loo gee too much.. However, pacnet had sent a (unchecked) email on friday stating tat internet connection will be terminated today... which i have come to a conclusion tat.. all these is bullshit.. cuz ... For one, i am posting this Today. Secondly, my darn internet connection is still a damn 512. well well well .. if u are confused reading this.. u aint alone.. cuz i am confused by myself too.. only could get wad i was writing from the "bullshit" part. lol.

A back track to the past (Saturday)

The dinner. Hmph. should have a renamed it to frens gathering. well. ever since sec 2-3/4/j1/j2, all the sec 2 outings.. only the same hand full would go.. so.. didnt really came as a suprise that the dinner had the usual gang (My Roots) : Jon, Stan, Dy, Ivan, RK, Jem, Me.. kinda think of it.. it could have almost been called a 3/6 outing if not for stan the smarty. bt then again, nice time out. HaHa. we went eating at Bt Timah' s Beautyworld without stan at first, didn't realised he alr landed in Singapore liao. so when we found out, Dy told stan we were at Bt Timah plaza.

hahaha..sms reply to dy: Top floor? nth there leh.

lol, he muz have like swept the top floor of plaza and saw only maid agencies lah. lol..

we then went on to play LAN over at another shopping centre (nearest one to NP; the one with the NTUC Fine or sth liddat). and did Pool.

Fast Foward ( Sunday Work)

Woke up really sick that morning.. had flu and alittle feverish.. but.. damn.. i slogged my way to serangoon plaza (mustafa). The 8 per hour pay was juz unpassable.. besides the job was slackish.
i was assigned to work at some place in the middle of Lavender, Farrer Park, Racecourse Rd and Bugis, the place was Kampong Kapor if u noe where tat is. Wa lao lor.. where i was assigned to had totally no proper girls.. only knew daniel there and i tot i knew some gold hair beng (wondered if he was my nursery mate that i stapled his thumb).. well abt 90% of them smoked.

And when i tot that our job was good.. this 2 non-dunked-worthy lian girls came late and their pay : $100 per day. ard 4/5 ish pm they came. and left at 10.30pm. tats like $15 an hour lah.. and all they do was sit on the seat of the dunking machine and wait to be dunk by Indian Foreign Labourers... haha for ppl at the construction sites, i would have expected their aim to be a little better.. the 2 girls were dunked only 5 times.. tats way too easy a job..

Don't wanna sound racist so they are now known as Customers. Customer base were mainly indian and china chinese. didn't see any other.

Those Bengs there were actually kind. They tot u lots of stuffs.. like.. u dun need to have any service in such areas.. u scold the customers.. lie to them.. and scam them.. they also did teach me how to do the registration of those sim cards that those customers bought. and in my opinion, it was not a kind act of the bengs. it was so that i could cover them while they slacked else where.

What Dan and i did was the 2nd stage of the whole thing. ( i learnt all the stages tat day)

1st stage:
Customer comes into the queue and asks the 2 girl for the card they want.
promotion was:
$8/28 sim gets u a shirt/bag/banana leaf coupon + Photo Shoot + film ticket + lucky draw
$8 sim + $20 top up card / $28 sim gets u a bread toaster + Photo Shoot + film ticket

2nd stage:
We give the freebies to them

3rd stage (most tedious ):
Registration of sim Cards

what happened was tat there was a confusion in the "$8 sim + $20 top up card / $28 sim"
dan and i took it as either u buy the $8 sim together with the $20 top up card to make up $28 or u can also buy the $28 sim.. both will get u a toaster.. so we gave every customer that bought a $28 sim a toaster.. when we were like 3/4 thru the day, 1 of the 2 girls told us, it was
$8 sim + ($20 top up card / $28 sim)... so here comes the lieing part : we told subsequent $28 sim card customers that we ran out of toasters..

Well then while i was at the 3rd stage counter, this customer came and had to help him activate the sim card.. i couldn't do it anyhow.. so i told him saying that network busy.. so u muz go to the boon lay branch .. they will help u.. my gawd.. i scammed.. i am sorry if that guy went to boon lay.. the other beng told me.. either u say.. "okok.. can can.. next customer" or u say "go boon lay.. there got ppl can help" reason being tat there was a boon lay branch tat was far away and when u say okok.. can can... the customer would 90% go away and solve it himself.

well $80 in my pocket now.


later i am gonna go urban with wilson and NP rollerbladders. i think location is in town.. and they should already be there now.. bt wilson and i are goin down at 5 ish pm.. not goin to stay overnight with them though.

Wei Hong

Ponder. Am i?


tmr, i have a sec 2 class dinner over at bt timah. wonder how it would be like really.

neway.. wasted my time going over to Singtel's com center 2 today.. the job briefing time should really be compensated in cash.. went there at 6pm (starting time) started at 6.30pm.. listen to the same briefing twice and stayed in for a seperate briefing.. all ended at abt 7.30pm. If u got someone with poor sumarising skills, he would still be able to do a 6.45pm.

Heard there was a nite cycling today at ecp to see the meteor shower/drizzle? bt according to daniel.. i seem to be of fault that many class events dun take place eh? lol.. cuz i didn't have cash for the bike rental.. dan , jason and i didn't go. so with us 3 not going.. i think the event was canceled? reminds me of the time in which i cancelled a perfectly well-to-do outing (movie).. lol for the exact same reason.. except for the fact tat i didn't even intend to go hahaha.

*SPOILER ALERT*

Warlords: Andy Lau + Takeshi Kaneshiro + Jet Li
2/5 Stars




















Reason for choice of Actors

Andy Lau: cuz he could grow a beard
Takeshi Kaneshiro: had a budget surplus so placed in 2 more lines
Jet Li: Cuz he could move it man..

If i am not wrong.. Takeshi only had 3 Major lines.. well maybe 2 of it can merge..
"大哥是对的" and "Today we 3 are bound by the sacred pledge of brotherhood, our blood shall be of one vein, through joy and adversity, anyone who harms our brother must be punished by death, any brother who betrays our own, must be punished by death" and "Any brother who betrays our own, must be punished by death"
well he's jap.

*SPOILER!*

OK.. here goes..

The story starts out with 3 parties: Government Troops(Kui Army and Jet's Army) Rebels, Bandits

Jet Li's Army was supposed to attack the Rebels in a single swoop with the aid of Kui's Army, bt Kui's Army for some reason or another didn't want to land assistance in the time of need. Thus Jet's Army fell, leaving Jet Li as the sole survivor.

Jet Li wandered about until he reached a place with 3 enormous concrete arch where all the peasants went in one direction (perhaps to seek refuge). A lady then walks in a direction opposing the peasants', for some reason, Jet goes in the same direction as the lady. The 2 walked for about 2 min of screen time and finally Jet collapses infront of her, only to wake up in her arms (ok not really bt the gist is as such). They rendevous for that night and he woke up not seeing her. Show then states that Jet felt he was alive due to the lady.

Takeshi then comes into the picture...

Takeshi rides on his horse gallantly and picks up his dagger and attacks Jet cuz he saw Jet wearing his General Boots. Jet Trashes Takeshi.. of course.. Jet fought in movies like Fearless, Wong Fei Hong, Lethal Weapon..etc.. and wad has Takeshi under his belt?? Look left look right.. well tat helps.. if the Warlords had a road requiring jay-walking..

Well Takeshi then spoke a short speach :" You can fight, join me." seriously, i think he has lots of trouble with the chinese language. Takeshi's elder sworn brother is the head of the Bandits (Andy Lau)

Under the arms of the Bandits, Jet Li helped to rob a troop of government army ferrying foods. His service was noticed and his sincerity felt as he gripped a sword by its blade to save Takeshi. They got Jet Li into the Sworn brother thingy tat seemed rather fashionable in those times.. And Jet then notices that the lady he spent the night with, was Andy's wife or sth of the sorts.

Come Nightfall, the bandits were robbed off their stolen food by another Government Army (Kui ARmy). and many bandit families had injured ones. Using Guns, Clothes, Food and Safety as incentives, Jet convinces the bandits to join the (somename)'s Stronghold.. working as Government Troops.

As a Government troop, the bandits were no longer baddies and had firm rules against pillage (set by Jet due to his many principles). They made a name for themselves and went on to climb the ladder.. taking down Su Zhou and Nanking after it. During the process, Jet and Andy's relationship as sworn brothers strains..

Takeshi then finds out about Jets' relationship with Andy's wife bt keeps mum about it. The empress dowager then decides to reward Jet with a status called Golden robe i think.. The day be4 the Bestowment, Jet schemes to kill Andy (as he was a thorn, incessantly trying to interupt Jet's plans) and successfully does so. Takeshi misunderstands Jet's plan to kill Andy as an act to protect Jet's relationship with Andy's wife. Takeshi felt that the wife was the source of it all and thus killed her.

In the morning, Takeshi found Andy dead. As the vow during the swearing states that brothers should not harm each other, otherwise he should be dead, Takeshi takes justice into hand and attempts to kill Jet. What he didnt know was that while attempting to kill Jet, Jet was also being shot at the back by someone sent by the Emperess Dowager (she had no intentions of having Jet by her side). However the finishing blow was dealt by Takeshi using a dagger.

In the end Takeshi was charged for the murder of Jet and was beheaded under capital ruling. Result of the whole story, All the main characters died. Quite a pointless show if u did ask me.. bt it's suppose to be real.. so wadeva..

*SPOILER END*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the movies, we met Shui Yuan,Daniel. He was wondering about Kinokuniya after his job at a bugis junction cafe ended, parted ways shortly after though..

We then went to Paradiz Centre to LAN. Played Quake 4, nvr played it b4 and found i owned pretty well (101 - 20+ scoreline).

On the trip back, WZ got a call from May's assistant for another Singtel phone card job and recommended Daniel and i. So i guess we will be working on Sunday for them
- eight per hour for 10 hours i think.
