Labrador Park

Went to Labrador Park today. From Harbourfront Bus Interchange got a direct bus 408 to Labrador Park. the ride is only about 10mins but each bus interval is 30mins. all thanks to spreesy's suggestion.


the jetty area is pretty damn nice. yuhong took the pic the other time he went there to shoot. and the weather was very fine...... till it started pouring for about a half hour. then got this family came to set up the bbq pit next to us and they had these 2 black puppies. damn cute, although both were annoying each other.

got this bride and groom who came after the rained stopped, and she was walking ard dragging her wedding dress on the wet and dirty ground. i seriously felt sorry for...

the dress

anyways, went to vivo again and they had this fashion show thing going on for a few days. the theme for today was Spain 2 Dream. vivo also has a section selling their stuff. anyway, i was more interested in looking at the male models then the female ones. is there something wrong with me?

all in all, today was a tiring yet wonderful day. abit tired to smile, but it's only because i had fun =)

TMNT


caught TMNT at vivocity's gv today. first time at vivo's theatre, and boy was the screen big, not that im complaining.

the movie isn't recommended by me. firstly, it didnt follow the comic book where the villian is The Shredder. nope he din appear. and the story revolved around mainly btwn 2 turtles, raphael and leonardo. so... not that it's bad, but i preferred mr bean

had dinner at sushi tei. i will not recommend bento

had dessert at bugis

so sleepy after dinner i felt that i could just doze off when i walk. going treetop walk again tmr. hopefully the ti gong is kind to us.

First outing with cousins

I've never ever gone out with any of my cousins before. and i only see them during special occasions. so ytd night was my first. went to PS to catch a show, but apparently audrey din book the tickets even though she said she wanted to. so we went cineplex, also got no good timeslots. so we walked to suntec and bought tickets to Mr Bean

so we headed to pizza hut to eat. arcade for abit. first time playing the stupid big drum thing. then we watched Mr Bean. i must say it's not bad la, though kinda short. approx 1.5hrs. but it's hillarious at times.

by the time we left suntec it was already 11+. and the mrts stopped operation, so i saw 133 heading towards amk and i quickly boarded the bus. and it was raining. and wtf, it took like 45mins to reach amk and another 20mins for me to reach back home. by the time i bathed and settled down already 1am.

quite fun la, hanging ard with the bunch of them. all roughly ard my age plus minus. hope to do it again sometime soon.

the other day, i had xiao long bao for my very first time at the coffeeshop near jc's place. it was very nice. need alot of skill to eat, but fantastic =)

Cremated

hello everybody. i am back from an extremely looong day. din go to work today since im seeing my aunt off

lunched with dad and he drove me down to ghim moh to the funeral wake, everyone was surprising chirpy and happy despite not having sufficient slp and it being a funeral wake. but i was so wrong, for things turned pretty disasterous afterwards

i made a new cousin. a girl whos the same age as me, and in NP's FSV. well im not particularly close with this side of the family thus ive nvr seen her for the past 18 years

then when the pastor came in a suit and sunglasses, everyone started to cry, since their sister's physical body would be gone forever. anyway, alot of ppl started crying, but not exactly pandemonium yet. got this aunt whom i dunno, she say smth to console them, but i think damn fucked up. as the people from singapore casket carried the casket into the van, everyone was crying and that aunt was saying "This is only the beginning. If you wanna cry now, then don't think about going."

well if u think about it, its some kind of consolation, but the way she said it sounded like a bitch. "This is only the beginning you know!~"

we took a chartered bus down to Mandai Crematorium and i can tell you, people would appreciate the achitecture more if they werent so bloody depressed over the deceased. the place was amazing, extremely beautiful and peaceful. there was a hall where the loved ones of the deceased gather while the pastor said goodbye. and the place was very nice. they even had sparrows in it, live ones flying around and it felt like something you see in movies or books.

the toilet was amazing. there's a glass panel which is tinted and whcih makes you want to see through it from the outside. and outside the toilet, there's this pond with flowing water. very nice can?

anyway, the trouble starts here when we placed flowers ontop of the casket and said goodbyes. and then they put on the lid to cover the viewing panel for the face. this caused an uproar and all the sisters started to cry, thankfully my mum wasnt one of them. she's strong.

then the people brought the casket out of the hall and into the prep room to cremate. then we were supposed to proceed to the viewing room, where everyone started to wail. i mean the situation got kind of emotional, i din shed a tear cuz i din really know my aunt well, but it was sad to know such a nice and generous person died due to sickness. she passed away even before her mother did, and for that, i think is worth to be sad for.

then the casket was in position to be ready for cremation and everyone really broke down. people started fainting and everyone had medicated oil in the hands rubbing it on the fainted or the fainting. well, the cremation was different from the last time i rmbed, which was when i was barely in primary school. this one, they had this machine which followed a track on the ground, and it reached the 'furnace'. then it slowly elevated with the casket, den the furnace door would open and the casket is pushed in. den, thats all

everyone was brought out of the viewing room to get some fresh air. everyone was still crying and after sometime, sat on the bus back to ghim moh to wash up and have dinner

now at only 8pm im so worn out and shagged even though i din do my bit of crying. my mum's collapsed on the bed right now, since she din slp much last night whilst attending to the casket.

tmr's my "last day of work" technically speaking. depends on whether they still need me to clear up their shit. ok im off to go lepak and relac one corner.

IT Fair 2007

ok finally done and over with. 4 days of standing more than 12 hours a day and shouting at the top of our voices. meeting with idiotic singaporeans and all. but hopefully when my paycheck comes it's all good.

worked for Courts, selling laptop brands like Acer, Toshiba, HP and Compaq. now i really like HP laptops, very cool and stylish, but extremely expensive. IBM is now Lenovo and i hate it. i hate Acer too, even though that is the main source of my income. but anyway, anyone who bought their laptops at this IT fair = cheated.

are you sure you even need Microsoft Vista? of course all the lies like in another year everyone will be using Vista and u have to think of the near future, so you should get this.

WHAT a load of crap. even thumbdrives also nvr state that it's usable on microsft vista OS. so what i can say for now is, YOU'VE JUST BEEN PWNED!

how do i make out of this IT fair? lots of experience i must say. experience of not having dinner as i pia my sales. as i stand on my already weary feet and shouting with my hoarse voice and trying to psycho ppl to buy. got to see a couple of models, some of which are kinda cute


Panasonic booth had their 103" lcd tv (largest in the world) displayed


our Courts booth
