Simplicity made complicated.

Just when a thing seems to be simple, it turns out to be a complicated issue. Just like when 1+ 1 = 2, there seems to be far more answers than this, some might say, 1 + 1 = 11, 1+1 = 3, 1+1 = 王. Ya, you all should know what i'm driving at.

Yeah, of course, Life isn't a bed of roses, if everything was that simple, we wouldn't learn to treasure it isn't it?

How resilient a ship isn't judged by the timeframe it had been set out on the open sea but rather, the number of tides and storms it has went through. And it seems that this ship has gone through a similiar kind of storm as it did a couple of years back but i'm certain that i wouldn't want the same conclusion as that of before.

What i would want is that this ship goes venture on a different journey, in search of a different horizon, to realise a different dream, to explore a whole new different species of marine life, to be able to witness the sunrises and sunsets in a different approach.

Be it if there's a storm awaiting in the unknown, the ship will always have to ride through it, it is only then, one will find the true meaning and purpose, one will appreciates the serenity. Unlike sampans, ships wasn't built to smooth sail the sea, it was meant to counter the tides, to oppose the storms, to retaliate all else that hinder it's advances.

Although none can promise that the tides will be calm, however, if the anchor is never raised and reeled, how would one ever know what lies ahead?

The KL trip

Back from KL. Tiring but fruitful trip. Didn't bought any thing much though.

Friday - Day 1

Met the lads at 830am, went to imm for breakfast. Left for 2nd link at roughly 930am.
We dropped by melaka for lunch 1st at Jonkers Walk. Had some chicken rice balls and roasted meats. After which, we proceed on to KL. Check into the hotel, Royal Bintang, and left for dinner. We decided to go to Chinatown for a walk and have our dinner settled there as well. You can find lots of fake branded bags and wallets there. From LV to even miu miu! Even fakes tiffany & co. and mont blanc. However, we missed out on the famous cooling longan drink as it was already sold out when we got there. Then we decided to take away some gui ling gao and have night snack in the hotel.

Saturday - Day 2

Woke up at in the early morning (at least early to me), then proceeded to Petronas Twin Tower to queue for the ticket to the Skybridge Visit. Luckily we managed to get hold of the tickets as they only issue around 1500 tickets daily. Our visiting time for the Skybridge is at 4.45pm and we decided to have our breakfast at KLCC (Situated just below the Petronas Twin Tower) 1st and travel to Midvalley Megamall to walk around then to a newly setup shopping centre next to it called The Gardens. Had lunch at Canton-i, a hongkong cafe. Then proceed back to KLCC for the Skybridge Visit. Next off, we head to Sunway Pyramid (Within close proximity to Sunway Lagoon) to walk again and have our dinner there. Had A&W for dinner! Haha! Its been a long time since i last had A&W, the rootbeer float, the curly fries, too bad i was too filled that i give the waffle a miss. Then we travelled back to Chinatown to get some supper, Malaysia's style Char Kway Tiao and another serving of gui ling gao, we also got to get our hands on the famous longan drink! And headed back to hotel for our supper.

Sunday - Day 3

Woke up slightly later at 10.30am and prepare for check out. Checked out at 12pm and wander off to Pavillion KL for lunch before heading back to Singapore. Had lunch at Madam Kwan's. Then headed back to Singapore with stops in between for toilet breaks and shopping for local delights at Yong Peng. Arrived back at SG at roughly 7.30pm, headed to east coast for dinner and here i am! Home sweet home.

AAR (After Action Review) for KL trip: It was a fruitful trip as we're able to travel and stop at quite a number of shopping centres within a short span of time. But overall, it was quite a budget getaway. Spending less than SGD $2oo on the whole trip including hotel expenses! Cool!

Having a Sick & Groggy Week!

Oh geez. The past week have been a "seh" week, mentally. Been sick, and still sick, literally. And have been on medication for the past week which makes me groggy and drowsy. Finished my last dose of medication on sunday night. Sort of relieved that the drowsiness shall be gone but man, i was wrong. Despite not being on medication and having more than sufficient amount of sleep, i'm still seh for the whole of yst, for god knows why. Feeling better with the grogginess now, and hoping my cough will recover before i leave for KL on fri morning, so that i can really 买东西, 吃东西, 买东西, 吃东西, 买东西, 吃东西, 买东西, 吃东西, 买东西, 吃东西, 买东西, 吃东西, 买东西, 吃东西, 买东西, 吃东西, 买东西, 吃东西, 买东西, 吃东西!!

And hope when i'm back, the weather in Singapore turns winter. For now, got no choice then to endure the summer.

Updates on recent happenings.

Some updates on recent happenings since its been another period of time whereby i didn't blog.

Nothing much other than the genting trip which i went on the last weekend on march with zw, aik and kling. Basically this genting trip is just casino, casino, eat, sleep, casino, casino, sleep, eat, casino. lol. No theme park and definitely none of the nonsense "Ripley's believe it or not" craps and such. And in fact, we're currently planning for our next trip, KL, but this time, not on coach bus, instead, in the comfort of aik's car. Although the journey to and fro will be tiring, i believe me and aik can take turns to drive there. Main objective this coming trip will be just to eat, eat, eat. However, there might be additional activity after that, since genting is just "next" to KL. And aik will be itching for some casino action. Well, still largely undecided on the date, rumours has it say its on labour day. *shrugs*

Besides mentioned above, everything is as per normal, the usual hanging and catching up with friends, attending company's meetings, department meetings and courses.

Oh ya, bidding for the car's COE has failed. So ya, no drive for the time being. But discussions for alternatives is undergoing, whether to bid for another car or to go into the 2nd hand car market. Well, still weighing the options available and will see how thing goes.

In case you have yet to notice the time of this post, ya, this insomnia thingy is kicking back again. Late nights all over again. How how how? Geez..

In need of a Motivator.

Met up with a fren today who i hasn't seen since secondary school ended. Its like, 8 years? Although its like been years since we really last chatted, we still enjoying talking after awhile, starting with the "Eh, you rem....", the "Last time hor....", the "(whoever) blah blah blah, now blah blah blah...", the "Those where the days" kinda conversion, really reminded us how much we enjoyed sch and looking back on those days, everyone have since grown up alot, whether it is lifestyle or mentality. And also, quite a few is already approaching the next stage of their life, getting married or being parents. Prompting me when will it be my turn? For me, I feel that I have to be stablized financially first so that I will be able to give my partner the best that i can and i want her to enjoy. However, its seems that i lacked of the motivation to give a run to it, given that i have no fixed objective/motivation to go about doing it. Maybe its high time i go look for a motivation? *Shrugs*

Friendship On The Line.

After watching the show on chan 8 just now, suddenly have some thoughts coming through my mind.

Was wondering, if the current situation stays as what it is now for a long time to come, i guess 5 years, 10 years down the road, you will turn back and regret what you have done. But until then, i guess you wouldn't have the gut to rectify the situation anymore. The wasted 10 years of friendship due to "for-god-knows-what" reason.

You seriously need to grow up and be matured. Have you ever sit down and think through it? What has this group of friends done when you're in need? Whenever you have problems, i'll try to provide assistance to you without even asking what happened, why you need it for and why is it so. But anyway, people only remember the bads, faults, the mistakes, everyone simply conveniently disregard the goods. Our comments and advices is for your own good as well, implimenting it or not, its up to you. Thats what a friend can do. If you think that we're simply too naggy for your liking, and only want those kind of friends who will always have fun with you, go clubbing/pubbing, go drinking sessions, then sorry, i guess we're not the kind of friends that you looking for. We don't mind going once in a while to chill out and such but we're more worried about your pocket than our own! You've got to know your own limit, "Don't Have Such A Big Head, Don't Wear Such A Big Hat!", your other "drink meat friends" can always go drinking session because they can afford, what for tagging along for drinking when you don't even have enough for meal?

Anyway, i hope you have grown to be more sensible now. However, I'm not gonna do anything to rectify this issue anymore as I've previously did a couple of times before already, I'm already quite tired of this repeating issue already. I'll leave it to fate and to you to ponder over what you want to do about this 10 years friendship.

A Visit to the Car Showroom.

So we went mazda 1st and i go for a spin with the Mazda 3 SP LX.

Because, even though if COE bidding gets through, Altis need to wait until end of April or May then can get the car!! and the color is not nice also. Anyway, not confirm buying yet, just placed booking for the bidding of COE, subjected to other conditions but if everything goes well, after getting the COE, will get the car in ard 2 weeks time. Anyway, its an OPC lah. hahahaha. But i still get to drive! Make sure the car is gone before my sis reaches home from work! *grins*

Anyway, ah chye wishes everyone a happy valentine day! No valentine also nvm, can spend the day with family or frens, spread the love ard! Alternatively, I'm available tml, anyone wanna treat me to a candlelight dinner? LOL!

A Visit to Granny.

Was supposed to do surveying at 10am but wasnt able to wake up as last night i had a gastric attack and i took medicine before going to bed at 11+pm. However, the medicine doesnt take effect until abt 3+, 4am? Therefore, i'm on the bed fighting with the pain until then, and u guessed it, i didnt managed to slp until then, hence, wasnt able to wake up in the morning for survey.

However, i met my cousin in the early afternoon and went to visit my granny @ Serangoon. Went to visit her cos after seeing her on cny, felt that she has lost alot of weight now and getting abit senile already and she doesnt really recognise quite a few of us (grandchildren). As she dote on me when i was young, i decided to visit her every now and then. Accompanied her chit chat and such.

Afterwhich, left for dinner with my cousin at late afternoon and he went to work while i went to meet up with my client @ AMK hub. Chit chatted with my client and pass him some stuffs, then chilled out with one of my previous camp's army peep as he stayed at AMK area too. Chilled out and chit chatted until 9+ and then went for late dinner and here i am. Home sweet home. and damn. my tummy feels weird again. issit another gastric attack again? I hope not. Well, gotta ciao now, survey tml. =O
