Alright, thanks to all the friends. I get to meet up with you guys before I going in tekong tomorrow.

Yesterday, I got to meet up with Leslie and thanks for the dessert! It is very refreshing aftter I ate it. At night, I met up with Yi Fatt (one of my primary school friend). We chatted for quite long because long time didn't meet up with him.

Not much freedom now but maybe I still have weekends to spend. haha!

I'm all ready, packed my bag and I had a dinner with my family. I will miss my mum's cooking. =(

Yesterday night before I sleep, I took a photo with my sister. =)
(Before)


Today, actually I going to meet up with Yan wen to cut my hair and eat roasted duck leg rice. haha! But she is sick and we didn't get to meet up. 'A' level prelim coming soon.. Take care ok!

My plan was after I cut my hair, I going to meet up with paul and friends. But sorry about it, hope you enjoyed your birthday celebrations! And I ended up went to meet up with Keith at downstairs and listen to some of his advice. =)

(After)

Yes! Botak boy. I had many thoughts when the uncle was cutting my hair, there will be many changes in my life. The next chapter of my life begins....

No more styling of hair.

Take care friends! Hope to see you guys soon.

My Tuesday

No soccer fever.. at the Holland Close Street Soccer Court.

When is the next game? I should say when is the next meeting with all of the guys? Soccer!!! I can only treat it as my passion.

Happy Birthday to Mr Dave! 22nd Birthday. 24/07/2007

The day before his birthday I went to Jurong West Market with my mum in the evening, and I saw a 500g cake printed "SpiderMan" design at a neighbour bakery shop. haha! It was a kid's design. Damn Cute, it suit Dave! LOL

So I know what cake to buy for him! I was aiming that "SpiderMan" cake. Today before I met them (Keith, Dave and Rain) at Jurong Point, I decided to go back to the shop to buy it BUT! It was gone from the cake display cabinet.

I quickly ask the stall helper who later I know he's boss of the shop.

"Sorry, it has been sold out"
"You should reserved it or placed a new order before hand" He told me in chinese.

Yes! I made a big mistake, I should. Well, its too late I had to choose another cake. I'm late to meet them. A fruity cake and the nice boss added a small spiderman small toy with a stand on the cake. =) Great!

haha.. the funny thing was I told the boss, "Uncle, actually this cake is for a 22years old guy". LOL

He replied "its ok".

After we had our dinner at JP, we went to his house to celebrate his birthday. And also, I trying to fix his router stuff. Deep in thoughts! Still cannot solve it. Leslie told me some ways to fix it. This coming thursday if i'm free to go his house, I got to try Leslie's idea. Thanks.

Today's early afternoon, I get to meet up with Elspeth, Paul and Bessie. Sorry, I was late for 30minutes to meet Elspeth at Coffee Bean. Always late, go army die! haha.

And I signed the letter and returned all the uniform etc to Haagen's HQ. Paul accompanied me to wait for bus 106 to town. While waiting, we were chatting about our past memories. =)

And funny part, we went to the nearest exercise corner to do PULL UPS! hahaha. Paul did 9! cool..

Take care.

Congrats Kismis United!

Long time didn't meet up with the Kismis brothers..

Great news.. photos taken from http://kismisutd.blogspot.com/

Congrats Kismis guys for taking the champion in one the recent tourament held in June this year.

Eric the man who took the free kick.. haha!

Ben, Eric, Ah Hao, Fiq and more.. most of them i cannot remember their name. LOL!

I like the pitch.. Carpet grass.

Thanks to http://www.technorati.com/ website. I managed to find Kismis United website. Cool!

Take care

Rest

I have been resting for the past four days. I was not feeling well and I was advised to have enough rest before I get in to army. Flu, Cough, Fever and Sore throat caused the fallen of Bing Jie. haha!

Thanks to Jimmy, Andy, Jin Jing and Michelle. They paid a visit to my house yesterday night. I cannot join them for dinner at IMM and I spent my "last weekends" staying at home. haha! -.-'''

Now then I found that I haven't buy shampoo to use for BMT period. What other things I miss out?!

Lay your hands by Simon Webbe! Nice song. =)

Thanks! my friends

Welcome to Haagen Daz's Dining in or Take Away? haha.

I still remember my first day working at haagen daz's holland village was 2nd August 2006. And it was the day I started to know Holland Village better when time past.

From make friends with colleagues to learning how to do creations, take away. I enjoyed very much and actually my favourite task was to do whipped cream.

haha! Maybe because I like to eat whipped cream LOL! Well, it was quite challenging to do it, you want the whipped cream to be thickened is depend on how fast and long to blend the heavy cream milk.


Last sunday, I remain slient for a while during work, quite an emotional day haha!. Most likely it will be a full stop in my service line career but will never forget my workplace and of course my colleagues.


Leslie! We managed to do some throwing of ice cream before Zarina caught us. haha.. thanks for all your help the past 4years in Swensen's and Haagen. We went through many up and down together. There were many mistunderstanding between us. Time will heal our problem. Yes, it getting better right. =) Sorry about the days, I created many trouble for you.


Ok, change topic.


Two photos took by paul. =) Thanks.

Leslie, Rong and I.

One more time.. smile!

After work, sorry that I didn't stay back at outlet to do the cleaning.

Anyway the next day, I heard the ESP people came to check and Haagen HV passed! Congrats. =)

The next day!

It was a great day because I cannot wait to drive manual car (Fiat 1.4). haha!

I went to rent a car near Bendemeer road. Easy Car Link Company. Leslie and I reached there at about 1pm but we waited for 30mins to get the car. Thanks to Kelvin and Eugene, they guided us to the car shop. =)

So excited! haha. We went to search for the nearest petrol station to top up the fuel and we headed down to beach road to have our lunch. Leslie waited for me in the car and I went to buy carpark coupon at 7 eleven. What a small world, I met the two working girls! haha. Jin Jing and Michelle, they having their lunch break at that time.

Then after our lunch, we went to Hillview to meet Diana and Edmund. We took quite long to reach diana's house because we were lost in Lavender street. LOL!This time, diana was the driver! After she had the "feel" of the car, next stop is holland village to meet up with Ende and Bessie.

Cool! Diana's driving is very stable. I was too talkative (disturbing) when she was driving but she managed to drive properly. haha!

Ende met us at haagen. Wow! become more and more handsome. However, Bessie decided to meet us at marina square instead. Diana went to find Rong at BBDC and the guys went to Marina Square to meet the rest of them.

Paul came to meet us after his school and we went for window shopping.

While waiting for the girls (Yurong, Diana, Rong), we played some arcade games. Shooting game. =)

I looked too serious.

I looked too stunned. blur look haha!

While waiting for Bessie, we played some daytona! haha. Edmund was fast, I was lucky. =)

Everyone was here! We were planning which resturant to have our dinner. Actually we going to 'Changing Appetite' but after Paul's joke (don't want, wait I don't have appetite) haha! We went to Cafe Cartel for our dinner.

The four guys

The five guys

Nine of us planned to go Holland Village. We went into Eski Bar "just to take some photos" haha! kidding. Well, everyone need to order the first drink. -.-''' Alright, say no more, we went to Wala Wala instead.

Joseph came and joined us for a drink. Cool! Great fun.

At about 11pm plus, its time to say goodbye.

Memories. 16/7/07, Bessie on the far right.=) Waitress missed out her.

The night is still young. Bessie, Paul, Ende and Joseph went home first. The rest of us went to 2nd floor carpark to "test drive" the manual car.

Thanks Diana for the chocolate. =)

After that, I brought Leslie and Kelvin to West Coast Park to get the feel of a manual car. =) Fun right!

Then Kelvin's mum called, very late already. Kelvin showed me the street soccer court where he always play soccer with his neighbours.

After I had supper with Leslie at Jurong East Macdonald. We decided to take a look at our secondary school, new building. And Tuas was our next stop.

I reached home at about 3am. Enjoyable day.

Thanks to all!

I cannot sleep for the whole night and I woke up at 7am. haha! Well, I brought my mum to market and had breakfast with her. Pressure when she was beside me. haha!

I got scolded by my dad because I didn't write down the address of the rent car's place. And my dad drew a small map for me before he went to work.

Luckily, I managed to get the place upon looking at the map. =) 60bucks to rent the car is worth it! Well, high responsibility to take good care of a car.

I returned the car at about 11am. Actually I can return at 2pm but no other place to go. haha!

Thanks to Kelvin for introduce me the car rent place. =) I went to meet him after I returned the car at Plaza Singapura. He had 2 hours break before his next lesson start. So I got plenty of time with him for a lunch together. haha!

I get to see most of his classmates. A whole group about 9 people walking together. LOL!

Anyway, I can pick the rent car at Redhill mrt station! BUT i just found out after I returned the car. -.-'''

I saw my uncle and aunt when I was on the way home. We were chatting about my army stuff, yes new chapter of my life coming soon. =)

Soccer was fun at night! Tuesday soccer fever...

Many pros turned up. Hafiz, Edmund, Paul, Paul's friend, Leslie, Mark, Kyaw Min, Kelvin and Kelvin's brothers, friends. =)

Very cool! Very competitive. haha! But I created a lot of mistakes, again too solo and I scored a OWN GOAL.

Well, at about 8.30pm it started to rain! first time. We went for supper at the nearest coffee shop and Edmund sent us to the nearest mrt station. Thanks.

On the way home, my mum called and tell me to accompany my brother.

Something felt fishy. My brother was at hospital. I dropped at NUS and went over to other side to take bus to SGH. Which bus to take?! I not sure. I wanted to call my friends to ask for help. I didn't take cab because wallet left 8bucks. =(

Yes, bus 197 to go SGH! thanks to 196 bus driver. haha!

My brother was suspected Dengue Fever but everything was fine because his bloodtest is ok. =) Flu plus fever. Bad weather caused it. We went home after consulted by doctor.

Actually today (Wednesday) plan , I got to help my aunt's drink stall because she said E mart open, it will be busy. After that I go to meet paul for gym. But everything cancelled.

Its my turn to have fever! Last minute at 7am then I told my aunt that I not going to help her. So last minute, sorry. And paul, I meet you other time ok. =)

I think brother spread to me! Or maybe because i didn't rest enough this few days. haha! I rested the whole afternoon, sleep like a pig. LOL!

Oh yes, Ming Kun (ploymates) same time and date as me to book in at Tekong! Cool, same company i hope. =)

Take care.

Work

Slept at 4am last night but this morning woke up by timothy's message. I was asked to work at 12 noon. By the way yesterday, I forgot to inform timothy that Kelvin coming to work from 2pm to 10pm if can. Luckily, last minute he still allowed to change schedule. =)

I reached the shop, there were only three staff. Athena, Nick and Priscilla. But after 3pm, a "group" of people came to work. haha! As many as 4 staff.

From 1pm to 3pm, Santa kept asking me to do this, do that example suddenly tell me to clean the waffle machine after she had made a mess! then.. haiz

Santa asked me to leave early. -.-''' Because there is enough staff already. I don't know what she wants! Anyway, I was tired so I left the shop at about 4plus.

Family were already outside for dinner because they thought I will be working till 6pm. haha! No choice, lazy to buy so cooked instant noodles.

Sunday working! ok, last day at haagen. haha!

Take care.

Realized

I'm too bored till I came back online at this time. 2am! haha. I'm very tired now but still cannot sleep. WHY?!

Many random stuff in my mind now, how to start?

I was kidding with one of my friend just now online. I guess those lame words I said was made no sense. Yes, of course "lame words" means talking rubbish.

And he said to me "grow up la" For now on, I better don't say rubbish stuff (crappy jokes). And I will always easily affected by people's comments (sensitive). But anyway, I agreed what he said, so many times said its time to grow up but still! He is one of my nice friend and I'm not angry with him anyway. =)

In the past when I was in secondary school, my classmate talk something bad about my parents and because of this small minor stuff, I had a brawl with him. In fact, I was a councillor at that time and guess a team leader can do this kind of stupid act at class?!

What a sensitive person! haiz.

Change topic

I was almost late this morning because when it was already 5.30am, I continued to sleep and off the alarm clock. Well, today at the drink's canteen, it was quite busy during early afternoon. An uncle in his early seventies came to buy Teh O (Tea without milk), I did the tea and it was too thick and hot! Oops. LOL! He came back and asked for a few cubes ice. Helping my aunt has great fun and listen to army's guy stories. I met some new friends at there, Well some
soldiers looks healthy like normal people but actually they have intenal injury. And they posted to service side.

I getting a new black spectacles soon! on thursday. 90bucks is reasonable to me but the spect's frame is made of metal not plastic! That's it. If I have outfield during army days, got be more careful. Choose metal because it is nicer, to be honest! go army soon still vain.

Kyaw Min really came down to Holland Close for Soccer matches! thanks alot.

He came all the way from TP after his classes. (Hafiz is different, he got his own transport, so he got no excuses that he cannot make it. LOL!) He wanted to stay at his school for soccer but I kept calling him to come for regular tuesday's soccer instead. haha! I refused to put down the phone till he agreed to join. I'm so demanding right, now I know I'm also possessive to boys too! haha. -.-'''

A bit gay! Because I bought him cheese bread and he bought me 100plus. haha.

Yes, today's soccer attendance is good. Edmund, Paul, Leslie, Mark, Hafiz, Kyaw Min and me. Surprised that the light still on after 9pm! Rong said "already 9.10pm" And I still running like crazy fellow, chasing for the ball.

Paul's recommendation for late dinner. Edmund drove us there. I think the food is nice even though I didn't try. Because I got to stop eating heaty food for a while. Left and right turns make a big difference. haha!


Next Topic

To me, I feel that our working journey is just like "bus transportation".

Some people may alight few stops earlier than others. Which means some of the colleagues may quit their job before his/her friends in the same company.

Whereas some people may continue their journey to the bus terminal (last stop), which means long service staff like Timothy, Yani. They worked hard in haagen. Respect their full time job.

Yes, I'm alighting my bus stop soon. And I'm taking another bus called "army life".

Ok, don't mind me. i'm too bored.

Which days cannot work in my last week at haagen?!

Friday, friends outing.
Saturday, family outing.

Next week, I got to find time to return those clothes.

I really hope next week's tuesday outing is successfully. Sometimes it may not goes as plan. Its good to have surprises! haha. If tuesday some of them not free, change date. I don't mind. =)


Take care.

Maybe

Live concert on Channel 5! Catch it or miss it..

I was quite tired but I still want to watch tv. haha! Don't know Eric Clapton will perform?

Tomorrow's KJ soccer on?! I don't know. Today's morning soccer was cancelled due to raining. Hopefully Ben and Kenneth can make it next time.

Yan Wen scared of ice cream. haha! I wanted to buy her a pint of ice cream again before i quitted haagen. Just treat as it a "farewell" meeting before i go army.

I still remember last time when I quitted Swensen's, I bought her a cup of milk shake. Don't know why I like to buy ice cream for her. haha! And I like forcing her to accept it. No wonder, pei shan said I'm possessive to girls! YES I admit! Force people to accept the presents. Acting to be Mr Nice guy.

Just now was at suntec city with Dave, Rain and Keith. Had buffet again and I enjoyed too much, I should start to save money for this month. =(

Dave kept asking me to KNOCK IT DOWN in front of the public. haha!

He asked me to play a tourament match tomorrow at Fuhua Secondary School's field. My soccer gears is with him. His team short of Left midfielder!

"I can just go in and play meh?!" I thought I need some registration to play the tourament? But he said no need "because you played with us before". -.-'''

I want No14 JERSEY!!! =)

Maybe I don't go because I want to play with KJ and friends at street soccer court. More fun!

Before I went to town, I was at beach road with Jimmy and Andy. They bought extra army stuff. So fast, this weekend is ending soon. They going in tekong "Left Right Left Right" this sunday at 2000 hours.

Andy can do 7 pull ups easily. Jimmy can do 12 pull ups! Incredible =) Respect you guys.


Next week I will go back to haagen. For my last week working at HOLLAND VILLAGE. Cut off pay on 15th of the month right?! Maybe more afternoon shift? slacker haha. Or work like a "buffalo" for the last week? Let me end my service career properly, with no mistakes. No more black waffles, no more serve ice cream's creation without using tray, no more cleaning the table with just using serviette etc. haha!

LIVE EARTH concert! once in a lifetime. Enjoy!

Why today so many maybe?!

Take care.

Your choice, My choice

Thursday, Pei Shan and I had a chat together. She always mention about "she and her Mr Alan". haha! I cannot stand her. Interior Design is her interest and she did super well during her 3 years in poly. LOL! Congrats.

Friday, Kyaw Min and I went to Vivo City. It has been a long time since we last met. 3 years ago, I wanted to meet him before my first year poly's semester starts but both of us were too busy with our part time job. He was one of the best left defender in my secondary school and he was my Vice captain! He might join the soccer game on tuesday's evening! yes..finally! because so long I didn't have a chance to play with him. A beautiful game. =)

At Vivo City, first stop was Baleno shop. We walked for almost one hour plus and decided to find a place to eat our late lunch. Very hungry! haha.

We met up again after 4 years.

This photo was taken at Carl's Junior. Nice place, nice burger! Good service provided like staff will asked us whether we want to refill our soft drinks. That's cool man.

What a small world, we met our secondary two Home Econ's teacher at Carl Junior's too. =) She updated us about most of the teachers had transfered to other schools. Time flys, many changes.

By the way I walked past Vivo's Haagen and I saw Yani. But I didn't dine in to enjoy one for one classic coffee. haha! We went up to third floor and continue to chat. 3 hours non stop talking. LOL! Then I met Janet, the three wave's dancer. We had a small chat, and she is still the same.

At night, I met up with Jimmy they all to try Village (buffet) at Heeren's basement.

Asath and I ordered Lamp Chop. Small portion in a large plate but it was nice with Mint Jelly sauce.

Joke of the day, I thought Ginger and Root Beer cost 8.90bucks then Asath quickly put back before paying it. haha! "Bottled beer" is very different from "Root beer" I gave wrong information and i was wrong, it cost 3.90bucks.

Take care.

Scars

Everyday I was like talking to the same person for the whole day. Yes, my mum and aunt are twin sisters. That's why. -.-'''

Auntie told me 8am to reach the canteen. Well everyday, I reached the camp earlier at 7.30am. Today was a different story, I was almost late because I overslept and missed one station. And I don't know why I cannot sleep well yesterday's night.

Along the way to the camp, I saw the stray dog again and it befriend with me. It quietly sit there when I walked passed the open space and I gave it a small packet of biscuits. It brightened my day. =)

By the way, Soccer helped me in some way, my left leg recovered from cramp. haha!

Afternoon, my aunt went to storeroom to have a nap. As usual, I ran the stall. A regular customer came to buy sandwich.

Arr..1 chicken sandwich. The army guy said.

What am I suppose to do? haha! I cannot wake up my aunt right and do the sandwich. So I tried to do it myself. LOL!

Err.. why it is an extra bread? the army guy asked.

Oh! Err.. That is the extra butter bread. haha! actually, I did wrongly because the Chicken Sandwich should have two bread instead of three.

Furthermore, I did some other sandwiches like chicken + egg. Quite busy if plus doing hot drinks.

Next monday then I going to help my aunt again. Should ask my brother to help because aunt said brother better. Wasted, he is not free because he's serving the nation now.

Met up with paul after my work, we went window shopping at Ang Mo Kio's shopping mall and had a dinner at there too. Not bad to see paul wore long sleeve shirt and carried an art file. Cool! =)

Orchard Mrt Station's Popular bookstore got 20% discount. Quick..

Take care.

Soon, you will think of it..

When I was working at the drink's stall, my aunt told me her a lot of my mum and her childhood's stories. I was enjoyed upon hearing their stories. =)

Yes, I saw the stray dog again. haha! This time, it didn't follow me because busy searching for food.

My aunt allowed me to go home early because I told her I going to play soccer at 6.30pm. Good at least I can take a rest at home before going to Holland Village.

haha! I saw paul at the mrt station platform when I was on my way home at Yio Chu Kang. He was heading to Outram Park for his dental check up. And they didn't take the same train, one towards Central and one towards West.

Soccer Time...

Both Paul and Leslie had a bad fall. Both fall because of the football, not much air. And they stepped onto the ball. Quite serious and it reminds me the past. Paul was like flying towards the wall. Take good care, pump MORE air. haha!

Kelvin cut his hair BOTAK! Because both of his friends going to army soon, so he accompanied them to cut. Not really botak i think, center part hair is longer.

Mark came at about 7.30pm and joined us.

No lights again, and it will caused more injury if we don't stop. Anyway, only 5 players. 3 ON 2! very tired. Next week more players i hope. =)

Some stuff to remember...Lost and Found.

Ende, Your socks is still with me. He borrowed me during blading.

Michelle, your cap is still with me since the day we went to Ubin! haha. Don't worry, I washed it long ago.

Shin Min, I haven't return your long apron. Nadira asked me to pass to you.


Tomorrow 3pm meeting paul! finally. LOL! Ang Mo Kio shopping mall here i come.

More friends outing coming soon, treat like a "farewell" before my army days start. Three weeks more.. fast!

Saturday, rain asked me to join them for a buffet at her workplace. Worth to try she said. haha! Again? 2 couples + a guy walking together. LOL! Ok, more outings I will get used to it.

Take care.

Fast Weekend

Yeah, Jimmy and Andy had their 1st booked out. Last minute plan, it was already 12am and we met up for supper at McDonald on friday's midnight. I listened to their army's days stories and I'm really glad that they are in the same company (Pegasus). =)

They telling me jokes and ghost stories in their platoon. haha!

Oh yes, I chatted with Jeremy on the phone quite long last friday. And it was also army's stories. haha! His story was quite simple because he had Chickenpox on his 2nd day of enlistment. -.-''' He came back and stayed at home for 2 weeks. Good or Bad news?! Well, he is Dragon's Company and heard that most of his section did guard duties already.

On Saturday, I woke up late and missed the breakfast meal with paul, leslie, edmund and rong. Sorry about it.

During early afternoon time, I told my sister to go jurong point with my brother and I to choose her present. Actually, it was our first time that three of us went out together. haha! Most of the time was my mother brought her out.

After we went to jurong point, we headed down to The Heeren. I was quite a bad brother because I didn't bring her go walk walk before in the town. And it was her first time to Heeren. They helped to find a suitable wallet for me at Fossil's shop (offer 48bucks) but all the design don't suit me.

When we walked past the neoprint shop, my sister want to take it. haha! I almost forgot that I had promised her to take neoprint together.


I designed this picture's background, too simple. haha! I just anyhow.


Say Cheeze! =)

My brother was so happy! haha.

We walked all the way to Far East Shopping Centre to look for her bag. And I saw Jesslin, her dressing changed a lot. I think because she is a design student.

We decided to take a rest inside Taka. haha! We walked too long.

Birthday girl wanted to try ajisen ramen but the queue was long. So we just went into a Chinese resturant beside ajisen. Not nice at all but quite full. LOL!

I was surprised that my brother wants to eat HAAGEN Daz's ice cream after the dinner. My sister said I want I want!

I was thinking where is the nearing Haagen's outlet at Orchard. But my suggestion was they haven't try Gelare ice cream so why not go City Link's Gelare. Yes! Elder Brother's treat. LOL!

It was already 10pm. Both of them dropped at Chinese Garden Mrt Station and I went to Jurong Point again to meet up with Dave, Rain, Keith and Mandy.

On Sunday

Just now I went down to meet my soccermates at the soccer court. But I didn't play. I chatted for a while because I'm meeting Keith to Beach Road, hunt for army stuff.

Wow! thanks to Keith.. He helped me to choose and select all the things I want. And he even know which shop sells better quality stuff.

I left only mini alarm clock and spectacle haven't buy.

He wanted to look for Web Camera at Funan IT mall, The challenger. I treat him a heavy tea break meal. haha! Until he was too tired to drive.

By the way, The challenger had a bit of difference from last time because it closed some stations. It was actually to 24 stations but now only 18.

My weekend ended so fast. Tomorrow, as usual I have to wake up at 5.30am.
Maybe I got chance to see the stray dog?! It always resting at an open space near the camp.

Take care
