wah.. damn tired again sia.. yesterday to today only sleep for 2hrs.. it was a long day and also a day full of all emotions.. i shall start.. its going to be another of my long boring entry.. those who are sian are recommended not to read this entry.. lol..

well, the DAY started at 8am.. woke up at 8am to go meet ty, ian, cy for tennis at yck.. woke up half asleep and then took my bus to yck for tennis.. upon reaching there, was told that there was no courts!!! so we packed our stuff and went to thompson for prata.. ian recommended his place the prata place.. so we went there.. cy parked his car and then we walked to the shop.. sat down and no one came to serve us.. NO ONE AT ALL.. all the waiter all just walk pass us like we not there like that sia.. then i told them, "eh, lets go la.. dont waste our time and energy here la.. so just go prata house instead" so we all stood up and went to prata house.. i ate my paper prata and also the all-famous PRATA BOMB.. wah lau i tell you.. the prata bomb is damn good... but its only recommended for those who love sweet stuff.. i mean really sweet stuff..

so after breakfast, i took cy car to bukit batok.. was suppose to pass the comics to johan.. so i waited awhile.. tried calling him like 20times but he never pick up.. i walked around the stadium like 3 times and finally i managed to pass the comics to him.. then off i went to csc for tennis.. met up with ben, ash and ty for tennis.. played like shit i tell you.. but ash's racket was quite power.. i kinda like it.. but now no more $$ coming in.. so need to think twice before deciding.. then after tennis, went to eat minced meat noodles at vincent's(not vincewee) dad's place..

after that, i went back home to rest for awhile.. haha.. and luckily i did rest.. then after that, we went to my aunt's place to celebrate my anut's daughter's 4th year birthday.. was suppose to go there for dinner.. but when we got there at 8pm plus, THERE WAS NO FOOD.. so what do our family eat? my aunt ordered some food and it came in 15min and that was what we ate for dinner.. was kinda disappointed with the dinner, so i hope that going out with hq, jek, mich, melvin and jl would do my tummy some good..

so was waiting for jek, mich and jl to come over to hq place i got a lift from my parents and was there 30min before time.. so hq and i waited and wait we did.. haha.. we called them and realised that the three of them will be late.. so we waited till the rain came and till 11.30 before we left for sentosa.. cafe del mar.. we picked melvin up over at desmond's place then we drove to sentosa praying that the rain will stop.. and the rain did stop and on we went to cafe del mar hoping for a good time drinking and enjoying some good music.. so we walked around for awhile and it was not bad.. nice place.. nice concept and all.. but the overall experience wasnt at all sastifying.. i dont know how to describe on blog la..but those who were with me, should know what i mean.. then, after that we found a table and its the first time i felt cheated into paying my 10% service charge.. well, we sat there at our table for a good whole 10min.. BUT, i emphasize that we sat there for 10min but NONE of the 5 waiters who walked pass us bothered to give us a menu.. so we decided to just order some simple drinks then just chop chop drink and go for supper.. so we wanted to order, no waiter.. so i went to the counter to order.. wanted a jug of beer, dont have.. want bottled beer, dont have.. so order 4 glasses of beer.. then i also ordered to strawbeerry margaritas.. then when it came to the payment, i took them 15min to get my to sign the bill.. and in the process, i had to move the drinks over to the table myself.. what a joke i feel.. really disappointed with the service given by cafe del mar... never going back there..

then i went to prata house again and ate my prata bomb and this time, with an egg prata.. but it was quite a disgusting meal and i might or might not go back there.. well, what happened was that utensils that they gave us when we our prata came, was really gross i tell you.. it was covered with curry sauce, prata from the previous person who used the utensils.. so it was quite gross la.. but we managed to find some clean ones and finish our prata.. but hq and jl wasnt happy.. so we went to siglap for minced pork noodles.. i felt quite full so i just ordered a bowl of wanton soup.. then we seat there and talked about our jc and primary school days...

went back to hq house to talk awhile but soon all of us fell asleep for like an hour or two.. then we left her place and went back home..

so for me, after going home, i slept for like 2 more hours before going out to meet lene, cen and chin at city hall.. ate at menotti italian restaruant beside bakerzinn.. the food was really good.. the pasta i had was really creamy and tasty.. the mushroom was really fresh and the sauce wasnt too wet.. the peppermint tea topped the lunch off.. oh, think i forgot to add the dessert.. dunno how to spell the dessert.. but it was abit like cream puff inside filled with cream.. then they have three flavours of the cream, pistachio nut(cy say one), chocolate and casturd.. really good sia.. then after that, was home sweet home.. wanted to sleep but just stayed awake till i managed to finish watching one set of the australian open.. so i was suppose to go for tianci's birthday party, but i slept till damn late.. so i din go in the end.. sorry tianci..

im really happy now.. haha.. arsenal beat manchester united 2-1.. my favourite team WON!!!!

well, now to honour my promise that i will blog by today.. haha.. anyway, friday was quite a fun and also sad day.. shaun and james ROD and ORD respectively.. and in the morning, i went to camp for life run so that i can have my last sing song talk cock session with shaun.. well, after life run, found out from shaun that we will have durian to eat... thanks for the hard work shaun... and the durian was great.. then after that, keith shaun and i went to shower before going for some meeting.. the meeting was really boring i tell you.. and shaun and i and keith entertained each other by small silly things.. like letting shaun smell my smelly durian breathe... looking at mdm agnes draw on her note book and also jotting down notes during the not important meeting.. and also stopping keith from going to the toilet.. haha.. we managed to keep him in for quite some time before he gave up and went to the toilet.. haha.. then after that, it was back to office and out to CS for lunch.. mdm agnes brought us out for lunch at jack's place.. was quite sad but also a great lunch.. mdm agnes hurt me before the lunch.. but it was alright.. shaun has given me worst.. haha.. but lunch was great, mixed grill and snails.. haha.. thanks alot mdm agnes.. your really the best admin supervisior around..

then after that, i left for home as i had a tennis match at kallang tennis centre.. well, i did not play really well as i was forced to play in the mixed doubles.. and my partner hasnt played for a long long time and she was a little old to be competitive.. but still, i must commend her for her effort and not willing to give up even when we are against it.. well, we fought pretty well, but still got edged out 8-4.. and overall, we lost 3-2 again and we are out of the tournament., hopefully next year we can get a better team together and get into the next round...

saturday, was reserved for jek, mich and hq.. we all went to sentosa for a good time just talking cock and having some drinks and enjoying the sun.. haha.. long time since i last went there and it was great to be back.. still hurting from the burn but, it just shiok to play frisbee again and enjoying the sun sand and sea.. hahaha.. at night was suppose to meet them again for supper but was cancelled because mich and hq wasnt feeling well, so we didnt meet up at planned.. so it was dinner at WAH LOK at carlton hotel and then a short walk walk at city hall.. after that, family sang me a belated birthday song and i cut my second birthday cake.. it was a banana chocolate cake from sercret recipe.. haha.. realy shiok but fattening.. still going to achieve my target of losing weight i gained from the two holidays..

sunday came and went to meet jae, jen and rph after a long long time.. ate with jen at hong kong cafe at TAKA before going to watch APOCALYPTO at cini.. it was quite a good movie i tell you.. i suggest that you all go watch it.. its roughly about a native tribe getting attacked by some unknown tribe from another part of the island.. then the young man, trying to save his wife and two son(one of which is unborn)... then he got caught and nearly died at the other tribe.. but somehow manage to escape.. but he was chased by the people as he killed the chief's son.. but will escaping, somehow, those people chasing him were kill somehow or another and in the end, his managed to save his wife and his wife also gave birht to his new son safely(in the WATER!~!~!)

thats all folks.. till next time..

today is the start of my keep fit routine.. haha... i guess i have start getting my ass off the couch and start going to the gym.. well, i woke up and poured some cornflakes in a bowl(half asleep still) and then opened the fridge and took out the milk.. i nearly missed the milk and nearly poured it onto the table instead.. but luckily, i didnt and managed to eat my breakfast while waiting princess hours which i have to complete before i ORD.. if not angel will chop my head off.. haha..

then after watching the 2nd disc, i went to the gym for a workout.. felt good running and lifting weights again and then went back home and cooked myself some sandwich before taking a short nap...

today is officially a nua-ing day for me.. haha.. pardon my language la.. but yeah.. its one of those stay home, watch tv, rot around and slack day.. haha.. reason being, a little too much to drink last night and also not having enough sleep..

it all started on saturday night la.. after the nice dinner with the primary school group, i met up with the secondary school group on saturday.. well, was suppose to meet at 130pm at city hall, but because of the rain, we meet only at around 3pm plus at marina square.. kenny, puay sian, brian, gilbert, lim, ling, benedict were all present.. we bought our tickets to death note 2 and then had a late lunch at the food court..

once done, we really didnt know what to do till 7pm.. so we walked around aimlessly at marina before killing most of our time at the arcade... after that, we bought our popcorn and drinks and watched our movie.. left marina at about 930pm for siglap.. wanted to eat at hong kong cafe, but the service sucked and we ate at a coffe shop nearby..

why i say we had bad service at the hong kong cafe.. we were there, the waiter took note of the number of people we had.. and said that we would get our table shortly.. then another guy come after us and needed a table of 6.. 10minutes of waiting and the guy who came after us got the table before we did.. wth.. to make things worse, when we were told that our table would be ready in 3-5 mintues, we waited another 10minutes before asking if our table was ready.. to our dismay, they said that it wasnt and we just took off for the coffee shop..

and over at the coffee shop, we had another set of problems.. we order zhi cha and the utensils given to us were freaking dirty.. it had pieces of yellowish flakes on the spoons and forks.. we told the people who served us and he said it ok.. his actual word were"never mind one.. just wash up only.. can use one la" then he took a piece of what looked like a table clothe and wiped the stuff off from our spoons.. we didnt really want to use the utensils, but had no choice in the end.. so dinner was over and we went to have some fun after that..

then over at ben's house, we went wild i tell you.. haha.. the alcohol came our and so did the cards.. haha.. we played 'dai dee' and also some simple card games.. ben, lim, and puay sian played in one group while the rest played in the other.. ben and puay sian each drank at least more than 8 shots of XO and also vodka, lychee liqour and jack daniels.. soon, all our us drank at least 2 shots of liquor and soon, we all ran loose.. haha.. laughing at the smallest things and trying to irritate the super drunk ben.. haha.. did i mention that we were also watching soccer at the same time.. haha.. so you can imagine the chaos at his place.. but by 5am, all was knocked out and sleep till we left for home..

well, after that, washed my younger sis's over night dishes and hang up the wet laundry.. after that, cooked myself a fried glass noodle lunch before watching some television... haha.. went to play my PSP before taking a short nap..

woke up from my nap and went down to marina square to meet up with my primary school friends, cenying, meichin and charlene.. haha.. has been a long long time since the four of us met up... it was almost a year ago since the four of us got together.. well, we had dinner at a japanese restaurant.. the dinner was great and so was the dessert... haha.. over dinner, we chatted about everything and anything.. haaha.. about primary school days, about our siblings, about what we have done over the past year... many many happy things were mentioned over dinner.. after that, wanted to catch a movie, but MC had a curfew.. so we just took some photos and then left for home.. will upload the photos once i have them..

thanks to all the friends who wished me happy birthday today.. im really happy that i still have so many friends who remembered my birthday.. really glad that you all still remembered me.. thought i was alone in this world... anyway, those greetings made brought a smile to my face each time i read it.. and would like to thank you all again.. though i did not have any party, each and everyone of you will be a part of my life.. love you guys..

today was suppose to be better.. but i guess it will not be better anytime soon... woke up in the morning and realised that i had a swollen right eye.. haiz.. and today was suppose to conduct ippt, and the fact that there were not enough officers in office, i really did not want to report sick.. but i thought about going to camp, but realising the fact that i might spread it to others in office, made me decide to see a doctor for help.. some people in office probably would think that i chao keng.. but i dont really care what they will think or say.. they have the right to say whatever they want and i will try not to let them affect me..

haiz.. what a boring day.. did not do much at all sia.. just merely staying at home, staring at my laptop while watching tv.. really hope my eye gets better by thursday.. it really is a bother i tell you.. cannot rub too hard, must drop the eye drops.. then on tops of that, still got cough to deal with... well, i will not complain much.. at least i am still alive and kicking right.. haha.. i need to start looking at the cup as being half filled and not half empty..

now for the thailand trip i gues.. haha.. at first i thought it willl be funny to go with jek, mich and karen.. why i say funny, it because i dun really know karen.. and i just felt funny la.. but nonetheless, the trip turned out to be great!!!! we had so much fun i tell you.. taking tuk tuk.. and also shopping till like there's no tomorrow.. not forgetting the cheap cheap food that you can find there.. haha..

then before taking the flight, hui qian, jek, mich, soverynn and i went to have supper at some tim sum place at jalan besar there.. then after that, i went back home and just sleep for one hour before parents sent me to airport.. reached the airport first and waited for quite some time before jek, mich and karen came.. also realised that i forgot to bring my handphone charger and belt.. what a dumb dumb i was.. anyway, after checking in, we had BK breakfast then walked to our gate.. our gate nearly closed as we took quite a long time to get to the gate which was super far.. anyway we safely arrived at BKK and soon took some time to get our river tour la.. then onto a cab and checked into our hotel.. although we arrived in the morning, it was only at around 2pm that we got our lunch.. why you may ask.. well, the hotel took like forever to check us in and the booking of the tour took up some time too..

well, after that it was MBK, SIAM area.. then jek and i realised that the shopping there mainly for girls and not us guys... but nevermind, we still followed the girls and also did our own shopping.. bought some shirts.. duno if i want to keep it till chinese new year then wear or just wear now.. haha.. i already wore one out liao.. so left with two more only.. haha.. dilemma.. anyway, first night was alright... was pretty tired but luckily we got our much needed thai massage at the end of night one..

day 2 started with the river tour.. it was pretty fun i must say.. seeing people feed the cat fish in the river near the temple was a first for me.. and i dont really believe that they dont catch those cat fish to eat lor.. i say its rubbish.. then after that, we went into a snake farm.. haha.. watch a snake show which was cool but also scary.. haha... we sat closer to the front and who knows that one of the scenes were to hold the poisonous mangrove snake by the tail, and then fling him around the stage close to the audiences' face.. OMG!!! my heart nearly fell out lor.. cause im quite scared of snake myself.. but it was also enriching as i realised that the phyton actually has almost 56 teeth in his mouth.. although she is not poisonous..

after that, went to see jewellery but did not buy any.. went back to MBK and took a tuk tuk for the first time and it nearly killed my heart.. he acutally drove against the traffice for some distance before cutting back into the right direction and then he drove against the traffic again just so that he can cut into the small lanes to send us to our place faster.. anyway, we reached BAIYOKE and started shopping again.. again, jek and i were disappointed that there were so many girls clothing and nothing much for guys... anyway shopped awhile then went over to PLATINUM fashion mall to shop..this time i got some more stuff for myself as well as people in the office.. haha.. then after that, went to SUAN LUM night market to have good food and then some shopping.. the girls got some more stuff and we took a tuk tuk back to the hotel as no taxi woiuld go by the meter..

saturday morning and we went to pray the four face buddha before going to CHATUCHAT market.. haha.. i finally had my bottled pepsi there and bought some more things there... really happy to my singlet collection.. got some muai thai short too.. but dont worry, i will not be getting ready to enter the ring just as yet.. haha.. after that, went back to PLATINUM for lunch and more shopping again... this time it was really for the girls only.. haha.. karen was out on a mission to get her clothes before she went back to singapore... after which, we had our SPECIAL dinner... haha.. maggie mee and some roadside BBQ food.. it was simple cheap and shiok shiok.. haha.. and i dont believe that i had to pay the hotel 35Baht for a flask of hot water.. wth man..

the last day soon came and on this morning, the girls did not managed to wake up in time.. haha.. but it was all good.. the last day was all devoted to our dear karen.. haha.. she was still on her mission of getting her clothes.. haha.. and poor old jek and i had to follow the girls as they continued to buy more clothes.. haha.. well, karen got her working pants, some shorts and some more tops.. but she just could not find her jeans which she searched for so badly.. then we rushed over to MBK to buy some local snacks before rushing to the airport in the taxi in fear that we might get stuck in traffic and miss the flight.. i slept on the plane most of the ride. but i think i should have done other things instead of sleeping.. but nevermind.. its a new year and everything will(hopefully) get better for me.. i really do pray that things will start become better for me..

so thats all the update i owe you people and i will upload the photos tomorrow night when i come home.. cause i am home alone with my sisters as parents has left for KL... so till i blog again.. so long my friends..

feeling quite down now.. just finished my intercon tennis match as came out of it on the losing side.. anyway today had lunch with my parents.. and then i got kind of pissed with them la.. but i did not show it to them.. they wanted me to volunteer for another 6 months.. they keep saying that i am stupid that i dont volunteer for a $2000 pay.. but they think they dont understand is the people that i deal with in office.. it really pisses me off at some stage during my NSF days.. so i will not volunteer even if it does not please my parents..

well enough of those sad stuff.. shall talk about my two holidays in japan and thailand.. haha.. japan was really really cold but also fun.. haha.. the whacky loh family had a hell of a time in japan.. haha.. kyoto, osaka and also in toyko.. haha.. although there was a serious lack of communication between us and the japanese there, it did nothing to spoil our mood.. haha.. we had good food, visited building which are listed as world heritage, and also too lots of photos.. haha.. went to disney sea, too a roller coaster at toyko dome which had a 45 degree down from the top of the ride!!! haha.. it was damn cool lor.. then we also went the emperor's palace both in kyoto and toyko.. haha.. did i also mention that i took photos with a geisha.. haha.. well, she wasnt really a true geisha yet.. but at least she was going to be one.. haha.. maybe she might turn famos one day i would have a photograph with her.. haha... ok i know it lame, but what hell i am alone at home now.. what am i suppose to do... haha.. shall put some photos here.. maybe will put the rest on later in the year.. ha..
