Long absence

Its been some time since i came to this blog again. Collecting dust. Guess i was too busy with work and etc.

I realised that i was never able to finish my pinang trip which stopped at Day 3. I promise i will start updating again when i have the time.

So how have i been? Basically not much difference. Maybe a bit fairer? Lol... and definitely more money minded.

I find myself physically weaker too. Climbing the stairs really tires me out so easily nowadays. I guess office job is damaging my body.

Found myself hooked to DOTA too... Bad choice.

Entering uni soon. Guess it will be a new start for me. Looking forward to it? Nahz.... I feel so detached from all those books again. Its gonna take a while to really focus my attention on my studies.

My time at Starhub was really good. Thnx to all that has helped to make it possible. I will never forget u guys.

These 6 months has passed by in a flash. Everything ard me is changing... yet i'm not.

Probably the best trip...Part 7

After the meal at the Kelong, we proceeded down to the beach(the same one that we were at the day before). Along the way, we stopped by at a resort which was still under construction. The view was magnificant there and i wouldn't mind spending more to stay there on my next visit. We reached the beach a further 10 mins later.

Nothing much different from our last visit(duhz!). Just that it is low tide and i can actually walk on the shores. Its so much different from the shores u find in Spore. So clean and soft to walk on. Wat abt our Spore shores? FUll of rubbish...

The few of us were just lazing ard the beach, enjoying the good weather and clean air. Then Rob found a broom(those kind that is used for clearing dried leaves). And we actually had fun with the broom. OMG! How bo liao can we get.





U can see how Ah Pei Rob can be. Wearing singlet and holding the broom proudly in his hands. The legendary Beach Cleaner. More to come from the brotherhood. Its time for our Seany to come up with another spectacular performance "The Great Run". With a broom in his hand... He raced across the beach, with great pace and acceleration. Nothing was gonna stop him and there's only one thing in his mind. NO mERCY! Great skill and technique in the control of the broom and a final uppercut as the finale. Great performance. The performance was terrific. However, no applauses for him. Only sounds of laughter. Thanx Sean... for the laughter. Ah Zhen even commented that he was Zhu Ba Jie...lol.

Somehow that laughter cleared the alcohol in my mind and i was awake and lively again. After some more lazing and chatting at the beach. we proceeded to Ah Chang's house to rest first. It wasn't exactly a rest as we were pitting our footballing skills against each other in WINNING ELVEN 10. Ah Zhen and Changs GF seperated from us as they were tired and wanted to go home. However, b4 they left, they promised to turn up for the Karoke session in the nite. Sean was, again, deep in his thoughts and we couldn't be bothered to ask him anything. LOLx. The game was more important! After an hour or two, we were all getting restless and Ah Change brought us to another hotel, Meila, to spend the nite.

Meila's definitely diff from Laguna. We actually saw LonTongs on the corridors. Ha. Nice. The brotherhood even offered to treat me two plates of LonTongs for my Bday which i flatly refused. R they out of their minds? Lolx. Thru Si Yi's recommendation, we decided to book one room for the 4 of us. Bad decision. The beds were small and the room wasn't big enuff for the 4 of us. Remember, Sean is with us? How can there possibly be enuff space? Anyway, the brotherhood wanted some time for ourselves and we lazed ard in the room, waiting for each others turn to use the bathroom.

During the wait, we were entertained by Sharapova on Supersports and NBA on ESPN. Time creeped by slowly and we were getting hungry. So we decided to explore Pinang without a guide. We had our meal at a nearby fast food restaurant serving fried chicken. The price wasn't exactly cheap at all, which explains the "CROWD" we see in the restaurant. After which, we walked into the shopping district to do some shopping. As usual, eyes were upon us as tho we were some aliens. The DVDS they sell here is really cheap and tempting. But in the end, we did not buy anything. As we moved on, the sky was darkening and we found ourselves near the jetty area. We just lazed ard in the area as we enjoy the small breeze and engage in guy's tok again....

YEAR 2007

Happy New Year!

Year 2006 has been a fruitful and eventful year for me. MOst importantly, i ORD-ed on 10 NOV 2006! Wat can be bigger than that? Ha. Think all the 1986s males will agree with me on that point.

Been so lazy in updating my blog nowadays. Wanted to conitinue my Pinang trip, but think i have to re-think on some parts of the trip and re-organize my thoughts first.

The new year countdown was terrible this year. Spending my time in the LAN shop, getting thrashed by my friends. Stayed till 2am until i was so tired and i just want to return home to sleep. However, those buses were packed with pple and i was waiting at the bus stop, helplessly, for the N6 bus that nv seems to arrive any time. In the end, i was lucky to be sent home by JS's father. Lucky, orelse i would not have been able to report for work the next day.

I realised that my colleagues weren't a bunch of lifeless creatures. They DO have lives and are actually fun people to be with. I so enjoyed their companionship now lo. Maybe i was too troubled in the past to interact with them freely. There were always something in my mind thats bothering me all along. However, i'm glad that its all over and i can really GO CRAZY!

I feel that i am a much happier person now. No probs too big for me! Year 2007 seems to be a positive year ahead for me (n also ARSENAL) and i can't wait to meet new friends.

To my family, Scout mates, THE BROTHERHOOD, ORC NPC, BUNK 4/ NPCO 2/ squad 02/05, Marist buddies, Fellow ex-Monfortians, T29/CJC , Hubbers from DHL, and those friends that have entered my life, I just want to thank all of u for helping me become a better person and weathering the storms with me.

Wishing all a healthy and successful year 2007!

Relaxed

I have been pondering over so much useless questions for the past week. Feeling distracted at work and often caught daydreaming. My life was in a mess until i heard the story of one of my colleague. She is just 20 yrs old, same as me, with 'O" level qualifiaction, but holds the responsiblility of being the sore breadwinner of the family. I asked the reason y she did not continue her studies after sec sch. The answer was not that she did not perform in her studies. But she had to quit sch to provide for her own younger sister and brother. Giving up her freedom for the ones she loved. Everyday, seeing her at work, being the last one to leave office, somehow inspired me to move on. How can my prob even match up to hers? Respect...

Vexed

I feeling so vexed now... Although i am slowly adapting to my work life. I am not happy. I have never been good at expressing my emotions. I may look normal on the outside... But its terrible down there in my heart. I do not want to affect others with a black face... I just want to let it out. There are so many questions in my mind that has been troubling me. I din know that i was such a sensitive person... One sentence can change my day. What's happening to me... Prehaps i was too draggy and indecisive. Sometimes i envy Sean...

I'm Lost...

Probably the best trip...Part 6

The first word i uttered in the morning was "OUCH"... Why did my right leg and butt hurt so much. Why got swelling too... I woke up feeling lost and suffering from a severe hangover. I was wrapped up in at least two layers of blankets and there is one dustbin right beside me. On NO... Wad have i done the previous night? The last thing i remembered was drinking with everyone near the BBQ pit. What happened after that? And wat a good way to wake up on the first day of being twenty years old. At least i was alone... not with someone beside me. LOL. I got up and made my way to the living room where Ah Chang and his friends were awake. I asked Ah Chang wat happened last night and he simply said nuthin had happened. I wasn't convinced at all looking at the state that i woke up in la. Anyway, i was feeling more and more giddy. So, i make my way back to my room to rest some more. Before that, i checked up on the brotherhood that was sleeping in the masterbed room. So sweet, three of them hugging each other on the queen size bed. Lol. Can't be bothered anyway. Went back to sleep.

The next thing i know was three noisy fellows jumping on me and waking me up. Where did they get their energy from early in the morning. We woke up to find the unit empty. Think Ah Chang brought his friends to walk around. After Ah Chang returned, the brotherhood proceeded to the resort main area for our breakfast. I forgot to bring along the breakfast coupons. Instead of telling us to shoo off, the waiter welcomed us in and told us to makan first. Good People. Having a hangover at the wrong time. My appetite was totally spoilt and i just feel like sleeping. We finished our breakfast and proceeded back to the unit to laze ard first before checking out. I intended to rest a bit first before going to the next destination. However, the brotherhood did not intend to let me off on my bday and another round of wrestling and slamming begins. It was so funny when all the blows that was suppose to land on me hit onto Sean instead. Lol. He became my shield against all the blows. Stupid people...

Ah Chang then helped us check out and wanted to bring us to the beach. It was the same beach that we went yesterday but we did not object to the idea. It was actually a good idea to me as i wanted some breeze to wake myself up. Damn those alcohols. BUt before going to the beach, we were going to the kelong to have our breakfast first. The cost of staying one night at the resort was Rp850000= S$130/-. Quite cheap, i guess. It was during the ride that i slowly learnt of what actually happened the previous night... bit by bit. And to start of...it was abt our bro, Sean. Something had happened to him the previous nite... with a certain gal. Ha...

The only ones that were left with the brotherhood were Ah Chang, his GF, Ah Dooi and Ah Zhen(pardon me, i forgot her name and was reminded by the brotherhood of her name). Oops. Lousy memory. I was feeling so giddy when i was in the vehicle and opened up the window to freshen myself up. It was then i heard constant mumbling from the back seats. "Seng, y r u sitting there?", followed by grins from robbie and soon hui, with Seany feeling uncomfortable. WTH? Y can't i seat in the middle row? Crazy pple. It was only during the time when Ah Chang stopped over to pay the bill then i knew wat was going on. Sean initiated a talk with Ah Zhen and even asked for her handphone number... Wow Wow... Wat am i missing on man? Sean handing over his phone to Ah Zhen and asking for her number... Wat's going on??? So many questions in my mind that i can't possibly ask him in the vehicle. But i seem to be able to grasp a bit. Sean got hooked...

I took another look at Ah Zhen, who was the one that managed to hook away the spirits of my dear brother. Okay onli wat, plain JANE Lo. Ha... to me, i think it wasn't the beauty of her that attracted Sean , but the simplicity that she displayed which can never be found in Singaporean Girls. Faced with complicated girls in life, it would be natural for any guy to be interested in someone that was out of the norm. The same thought emerged in the brotherhood's mind. Next time, we are gonna find an Indonesian Girl as our wives. Nothing big for me tho, my family started from this kind of relationship too. LOL. Ah Zhen had no knowledge of English, speaks Bahasa Indonesia, understands Teochew but couldn't speak them and knows a bit of Chinese. It was difficult to communicate with her but it was precisely the actions of trying to communicate that amuses us. Think this kind of girl would have attracted any Singaporean guys ba... So simple and nice-natured. Not the kind of girls in Singapore that would play hard to get. She was more direct. Maybe and just maybe, if i did not have someone in mind already, i would have, similiarly, been hooked ba. But knowing that my dear Seany baby had already set his sights on her, it wasn't right to get myself involved. I believed that applies to the rest of the brotherhood as well. Anyway, it was a shocking to me to see Sean having so much courage in front of a girl. Okay~! Way to GO!!!

After a 20 mins trip, we arrived at the kelong which was a different one that we have been to. The view was terrific. As the brotherhood had no appetite and wanted a walk around the kelong. We seperated from Ah Chang and the rest to have our own brotherhood talks. Wat a great timing for that. I had alot of questions to ask my dear Seany. On our way, Sean was humming the out-of-tune champions league song... Well.. We arrived at one small hut where it was set up just for the 4 of us. Perfect place for grilling. It was there where Rob gave an account of what happpened last night and the heroics of Seany under the influence of alcohol. I regretted getting drunk the previous night man. It was suppose to be the best night of the trip and i had to go MIA. OH NO. Anyway, the brothers gave full suppport to our dear Sean in his pursuit of LOVE:>

We joined back with Ah Chang and the rest who were still waiting for their food to be served. As usual, the brothers acted with initiative in helping Sean pick the nicest seat. Right beside Ah Zhen. Horns on our heads. We started conversing with each other and i even assisted Sean to ask Ah Zhen whether she got BF ornot. Wat's her reply... NO! SEAN's life brightened up upon hearing that. Ah Chang then asked us who Ah Zhen resembles... from left, right, up down, the brothers could not make out who she look like. Onli Sean did... HAHA. Affinity! Ah Zhen then gave an evaluation of the brotherhood's looks and even gave grading...lol. The results stays within the brotherhood.LOL. The restaurant played popular chinese songs for us and it helped to lighten up the atmosphere more. Although the food wasn't exactly fabulous, but the atmosphere was great and we enjoyed our time there. I stared at those Gong Gong that had caused me my night...i dun dare to touch them. FOr now. It was amusing to hear those conversations in Teochew that we converse in, but the rest of the brotherhood dun understand. At least Ah Zhen taught Sean how to say stupid in Teochew. But he doesn't seem to be able to pronouce that well. Well...

After the meal, we took some photos in the area.









In the first pic, Ah Zhen is the one in yellow and the one in pink is Ah Chang's GF. And wat am i doing. closing my eyes when taking photo.
In the 2nd pic, the one on the right is Ah Chang and the one on the left in Ah Dooi(Mr Nice Guy). I was having fun with those dogs in the Pics. So Cute rite. After which, we proceeded to the beach...

Probably the best trip...Part 5

Continuation of Day 2

After the sumptuous meal, we make our way to AGRO beach resort which was just ten minutes away. This place seems a lot more high class than the AGRO resort we r currently staying at. Clean beach we have here. The breeze here was terrific and the brotherhood hop around to take photos and haf fun at the beach.











Sir Sean Loke in the first photo. He just luv to pose for shots.lol. Both my cousins, Ah Cheng and Jing Qing in the 2nd. Si Yi and her husband in the third. This is probably another resort that i will consider for my next trip to TJ Pinang, as a group. Anyway, after all the photo-taking, we returned back to AGRO resort for the BBQ. Ya...food again... we just ATE at the Kelong not more than an hour ago. Getting fatter and fatter.

After the 20mins Sauna session, we arrived back at the resort. It was still early for the BBQ. Ard 5.30pm Indonesian time. Thus, the brotherhood decided to recee the resort to past time. The resort wasn't as big as we thought, but later on, Jing Qing told me that the part we were staying in was only a small part of the resort. The sky was darkening as we walked aimlessly ard the resort. To our surprise, we seemed to be the only ones staying at this part of the resort. We finally stopped over at the main lobby area where all the entertainment equipments were. We actually wanted to use the table soccer, thinking it was free. Neh... they charge by hour. In the end, we settled for pool. Aiyoh, i'm so sick of that le. We played pool when we meet up in SPORE. So Sianz. Just as we were abt to start... the lights went off. Apparently, there was a break down in electrical supply in the region. Thus, we soughted refuge in the shop just beside the pool table. And we saw the girl with ADIDAS bag again. So chio. Lol. The lights came on 10 minutes later and we resume gameplay. The quality of the table and ball was terrible as the two games we played dragged and dragged. At this point of time, something seems to be playing my stomach too... Damn. Must be those GONG GONG taking revenge. I couldn't even aim straight. All there was in my thoughts were, FINISH the game and head straight to the toilet.

After 2 boring games, we headed straight back to the resort. Apparently, Ah Chang had brought along his GF, his friend, Ah Dooi and another special girl, Ah Zhen to the resort to join up with us. When the brotherhood arrived back at the resort, i really buai tahan liao. I headed straight for the toilet, ignoring whoever i saw. One day, i must take revenge on those GONG GONGs... Anyway, after the unloading session, Ah Chang called me over to intro me to his friends. At first i thought of introducing myself as SENG or SK or watever, then i think back... no point. Ah Chang already called me Xiao Di in front of them just now. Heck la, i just intro myself as Xiao Di lo. I think i was quite insincere la, din even pay attention to their names when they intro themselves. After lazing ard for another 1/2 hour and slamming me in the masterbed room, the BBQ finally started. And my stomachache continued.

The stomachache is really causing an upset to my appetite. Hardly any food can enter my mouth la. Felt so depressed by the pain. Haiz, in the end, sit at one corner to stone while looking at the others having fun. Terrible feeling. After that, Jing Qing and Si Yi suggested bringing out the alcohol to drink and i agreed. Since no food can enter, a bit of alcohol may actually help to kill the germs or simply, to pass time. But i was wrong la... In the end, i drank more and more.... and became more and more drunk. The first bottle of VODKA was still all right and i was still sober enough to know wat i was doing and saying. I saw how Jing Qing tried to poison SEAN and Michael with his mixing of VODKA and 7-UP. Slowly, bit by bit... i lose my senses and starts crapping. Si Yi was busy pouring alcohol for Annie, wanting her to get drunk. Ha... SO funny looking at her getting all high with red cheeks and toking nonsence. It wasn't long when the VODKA finished and Jing Qing suggested drinking the Scotch Whisky. Wrong move... If i had stopped him. I wouldn't haf gotten myself drunk. Starting to get high, i agreed to it and here comes the killer. I remembered drinking a few cups...then helping Annie drink one cup of VODKA, toking non-stop...then.........(black OUT)........

The rest of the entry are told to me by the brotherhood as i was simply knocked out and the next thing i knew was i was on the bed the next morning. While we were in the midst of drinking, i suddenly got up, walked a few steps and vommitted near the main door of the unit. Then i walked forward a few steps and fell sidewards onto the floor near the start of the slope leading to the unit. The brotherhood, which was near the entrance quickly reacted to what they saw and robbie "flew" to my rescue...This is wat he say la... The rest of the brotherhood then helped me up and brought me to one corner where they washed my head with water and Jing Qing massage my head. After which, i was brought in to the room where Ah Mei used a wet towel to wipe my face and Micheal had to put the dustbin right below my face. Rob was outside helping Si Yi to clear my mess. OopS... Paiseh. What a good way to celebrate my birthday. Getting drunk. Thats the end of the story for me. So embarrasing.

But all has not ended yet for the brotherhood. After clearing up my mess and seeing that i was all right. The brotherhood continued on with the drinking near the entrance area. Sean got more and more high and his usual piece of shit finally comes out one by one. He called my Si Yi a bad influence and told everyone to keep quiet, then commented, "Nu Hai Zi Bu Ke Yi He Zui Jiu" in his well-spoken CHINESE. More shit to come from him as he laughed out of the blue and the alcohol sets in. Sean then know that he was going to lose control to the "beast" within him and asked Micheal to follow him into the room for 5 mins. Inside the room, he let loose wateva was within him and onli Micheal knows what happened inside. After the 5 mintues, Sean managed to calm down a bit and proceeded outside with Micheal. Freaky! That 5 mins actually helped...lol. Si Yi and her family then left the unit. Only Ah Chang and his friends stayed behind to accompany us.

After which, the cheeky Sean materalised and he sat beside Ah Zhen. Sean then started a conversation with her in his Chinese, with Soon beside, quite high, and ROB watching over Sean, in case he say anything stupid. Sean and Ah Zhen hit it off quite well and Ah Zhen even asked for Sean's handphone number. SURPISED? Ha... that probably nv happened to him b4 in SPORE. The brotherhood was impressed with Ah Zhen, mainly coz of her simple-natured personality and behaviours. However, it was more than impressed for our SEANY BABY and i dun haf to carry on from there ba... i think... LOL. But surely, Ah Zhen has left a lasting impression in Sean's heart. Too bad i wasn't at scene and din haf an opportunity to tok to her like how the other guys did. Ha. For the details of what they tok abt, i've no idea. I din even know her name was Ah Zhen at that point of time. LOL.

The brotherhood then had a heart-to-heart tok with Ah Chang for the rest of the night. It was getting late and it was also time to retire. However, Sean was still feeling energetic and memories of the day comes back to haunt him in his drunken state. He started swimming on the floor with the breast stoke he was taught. The he tried to strangle Robbie on the bed. And the best move of the night, he challenged the brothers to a hold breath competition right on the bed. LOL. Ha... that defeat really left a scar in his mind. After much nonsences from him, the brotherhood finally got tired and the 3 of them shared the master bed and slowly dozes off...
