+ Night Two Wheelers

Met up with other dude at Eunos MRT last night. It was 1230am but he was still in no sight till 15mins later. Well, he stayed further from where we both suppose to meet.

It was one of those crazy late night two wheeling around. It's always cooler at night, with lesser cars and we owning the road. There's this sense of freedom and peace, with no worries :)

Let me recall the places we went pass or checked out:

Eunos MRT ->Malay Village ->Geylang for dao huay ->Nicoll highway ->Concourse ->Gateway ->Bugis Junction carpark ->Hotel Inter-continental ->National Library ->CHIJMES ->SMU ->Esplande ->Raffles Place ->Boat Quay ->along Singapore River ->Alkaff Bridge ->Gallery Hotel ->River Valley Close ->Killiney Road ->Orchard Cineleisure (pity no movies be shown at that time) ->Orchard Road towards Forum ->Saw all the photo prints by this photographer, it was nice and there were dozens of pictures. Took up the stretch from BK to CoffeeBean. ->Took break at 24hrs Mac at Shaw house. As we were too hungry to wait for breakfast menu at 4am, we had our McChicken meals

We didn't like our trip home. We are always pretty tired when we reached our destinations. Also, it's always a lonely trip back as we go our separate ways.

But, we'll do it again!

+ Getting boring...

Just read through what I wrote last night. Begin to wonder why I bother to blog. I don't not even read back my past blogs. I did however browse through and recall how I started this. It was because school life was going to end. Looking at past blogs brings back memories, and I prefer not to be reminded of them. Somehow, I do not like the feeling of missing something, something of the past. I prefer to look forward, you do not know what lies ahead and will always have to be ready to adjust to changes. Think this is what makes life interesting.

But we must not forget the past, for it is the past and history that makes us what we are today(think i got this from some written article or some movie). More importantly is that we learn from the past and hope to improve on it(this I'm not too sure if I read it from somewhere too). Well, enough of all this bull. Tell you a story later on. It'll be titled IRONY and you'll know why.

+ Lightning!!.....so so frightening

It just poured really heavily about 2 hours ago. Couldn't see what's 2 km away, visibility was that bad. Anyhow, the dark skies or rather..reddish skies was flashing away. It flashed every few seconds and I was keen to see the lightning. Went out to the balcony, risked getting wet (which I was slightly), but all I could see where flashes in the clouds, not the lightning itself.

And so, I moved further out into the balcony and there I saw a few. It was neck tiring, but definitely scary. I forced my eyes to be wide open to those sudden flashes, scary and cheap trill, but I thought it was a good opportunity to catch it 'live'.

I saw this one in a distance that went straight to the ground, behind those buildings faraway, and another one that is an exact copy next to it. You can feel the surge in power through the intensity of the lights and it sort of stood still for that second. Not sure if I am the only weird one with such feelings.

Maybe you can try it out for yourself next time, if you do meet with one and tell me how you feel about it. For those photography enthusiasts, hopefully we would gather to take such pictures at some place when we have the time and our own cars. Till then.....lightning lightning so so frightening.

+ Keys to my heart.... Or so it claims

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?
You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.


Finally tried out something like this when I came across Bernard's blog. And here it is.

+ One hilarious movie

Watched the 40 year old virgin last night. Boy was it hilarious. Have not watch one that keeps me laughing in ages. I think it will beat Deuce Bigalow hands down. First thing you see is that of the virgin waking up with a hard-on. Wahaha. and then he struggles with peeing. wahaha. Not going to say much about the show, think you should catch it yourself. It will be a great joy to watch if you could catch the language and cheekiness behind it all.

Here's my rating :

However, a passing comment made by an aquaintance did not go down too well with me. Made me realise even more that people make use of each other, even friends do. Well, this shouldn't bother me too much. I know what I would do :)

+ Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag

I want to be a fighter pilot. It was what I want to be when I was young. This is what I still want to be at this age.

F15: Watch my six
F15: Watch my six

Went to watch Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag at the Omni-theatre. The place brought back memories when I was young. Came here probably when I was still in primary school and once more with my family. Anyway, it is about a young pilot who went through this final training exercise before going into actual combat. I wanted the feeling of being in a plane, flying fast and low over the terrains or even making those hard banks to the left or right to avoid the bandits. It was exciting at some parts, otherwise it shows how complicated air battles can be and the type of support needed from the ground crew, the early warning aircrafts and refuelling.

In all, this is still a documentary, not a movie. Hopefully there will be one more like this, but more exciting.


Meanwhile, I go apply for RSAF and look out for flight simulation games.....

+ GOAL!!

Saw this on my off day on Monday. Thought this show would make me feel like kicking a ball around, give me that sense of excitement and revive the spirit of soccer, nope.. it's FOOTBALL, in me. HA. Guess it didn't.

I do not mind being a professional football player in my next life. Shall just be your neighbourhood football player =)



I miss football.

+ It's Been One Month

It's been one month and ten days. Wanted to write this earlier, but I didn't have the time to.

I thought about how the month had went by. It felt long and it felt long. ha. I have been to quite a few places for meetings and I have so much stuff to do though they may not be any major. How much have I learnt? I asked myself...............Not much.

I learnt most when I was doing retail, where at times, I was lucky to have this colleague of mine guiding and teaching me. So I would have to say, I learnt most from him then from any others. Most of the time, I learnt it on the job and on my own. I am alright with this arrangement for now, but I do not see myself doing this for long. Maybe this is not what I would want to do. I believe I can do more things, make it better. And I have not been doing that. I once described to a friend that all of us have this potential, this raw energy and full of life inside us, just waiting to explode. But it has been contained so far. I questioned myself if I am impatient, but I am not....... Because I see myself going no where.

Meanwhile, I'll just ride it out...vroooommmmmmmmmmmmm

+ Condolences to the victims in Bali

This is my second time typing this out. The last time was over the weekend, but blogger have to face some problems at that time. So here it goes again....

Seeing the places all on papers reminds me of my trip to Bali more than a year ago. But only this time, the pictures are of destruction. Kuta Square is the main shopping mall area whereas Jimbaran was where we had seafood by the beach to enjoy the sun-set. The 3 of us were there and when night falls, a band played "Hotel California" to us. It was simply lovely to have it 'live' right where we were eating. Everytime this song is played, I can vividly remember the scene, surroundings and the atmosphere at that time. In fact, friends and family members questioned my decision to visit this place. But I decided to anyhow since I really did want to try out surfing and I thought it would be relatively safe by then. But this is not true ya.

Bali's a nice place to be. People come here to surf, and the locals are friendly. After 5 days of being there, you'll be familiar with the place. Good if you want to take it easy and relax as there's quite a few spas around too. Hope to go back there again some day.


I wish these people well. I wish their family and friends well too.
