The Timekeeper's Hell

Iron Maiden!!!

2011-02-16T01:54:00.002+08:00

15 Feb 2011 - Iron Maiden performed in Singapore for the first time !

The skys were not very kind to us as we waited and queued to get in. It rained, stopped, rained, stopped for dunno how many fucking times. But it was all worth it when we managed to get into indoor stadium and everybody was just shouting "Maiden Maiden" !

First to perform, at exactly 8pm, was Rise To Remain.

Austin Dickinson is the vocalist for Rise To Remain. He is also the son Bruce Dickinson, the vocalist of Iron Maiden.

Rise To Remain performed for about 30mins, and it was another around 30mins of waiting when Iron Maiden finally opened the show with the first track off their new album, The Final Frontier.

The full setlist

1.Satellite 15... The Final Frontier
2.El Dorado
3.2 Minutes to Midnight
4.Coming Home
5.Dance of Death
6.The Trooper
7.Blood Brothers
8.The Wicker Man
9.When The Wild Wind
10.The Talisman
11.The Evil That Men Do
12.Fear of The Dark
13.Iron Maiden
Encore:
14.The Number of The Beast
15.Hallowed Be Thy Name
16.Running Free

When they performed 2 Minutes to Midnight, the whole Indoor Stadium basically exploded! Everyone was pushing, jumping, squeezing. And the singing by the crowd. SIMPLY FANTASTIC ! We basically sang the whole concert!

Blood Brothers, Fear Of The Dark, and the last 3 encore songs... to be honest, I nearly cried as I sang together with them. I saw 1 gal wiping away her tears. The scene was incredible. You have to be there to experience it.

The best part was when Eddie came onto the stage. If you dunno who eddie is, go wiki and search. He's an integral part of Iron Maiden.

I'm glad I went to the concert.

Pictures time.

Notice the 2 backdrops. It's different. They really make it a point to change the backdrop to the album cover that they are gonna perform.

And the stage. It was fabulous. Really got the Final Frontier space look.

Best concert I've ever went to.

Please come back again to Singapore!!!

Irritated (Part 2)

2010-04-09T23:43:00.004+08:00

1) People, when u wanna prop up your legs against the seat in front of u, do it once and don't adjust anymore, when there are people sitting in that particular seat. Yes I know you wanna adjust so that you can get more comfortable, but the person sitting in front of you is getting fucking uncomfortable and tulan with you. Unless you wanna get beat up in public transport, don't even do it. Sit like a civilised person.

2) SBS drivers...we know you guys got a new batch of buses, but do you really have to test the brakes with all the passengers in the bus? Pls....pls..... jam the brakes slowly when stopping ok!

3) When you board a public transport, do you think that you should have a seat cos you paid for it? FUCK YOU ! The money you paid is for transporting you to your destination. It does not come with a seat. The seat is a bonus. So... REMOVE YOUR GODDAMN BAGS AND GROCERIES FROM EMPTY SEATS ! Let other people have a chance to enjoy that bonus.

4) Wah lau, it's raining and the roads are slippery, but heng ah..I got umbrella... People, pls spare a thought for those without umbrella walking behind you. Just because you got umbrella and you won't get wet doesn't mean you can slowly take your own fucking time to walk.

Those things aside, sometimes I wonder... how do people see me...

The old man with a funny and very vulgar blog? The fat guy that talks alot of cock? The heavy metal guy with a drumset and thousands of metal songs? The clown that always do and say idiotic and senseless things?

Wonder how many will cry when I leave this earth for the heavy metal paradise...

多少次迎著冷眼與嘲笑
從沒有放棄過心中的理想
一剎那恍惚若有所失的感覺
不知不覺已變淡

Things that irritate you when you go out...

2010-03-02T00:30:00.003+08:00

Now..i'm just bitchin'...

Not in any order...

1) Your bus is stopping behind another bus at a bus stop. People gets off the bus and some board it. The first bus moves off and so does your bus. But then, it moves just a wee bit before some idiot at the bus stop flags it... again. Can't he walk abit? Why must he be so special and wastes everybody's time???

2) You try to get off a bus/escalator/lift. Someone is in front of you. However, that sucker suddenly stops onces he/she steps out of the bus/escalator/lift, making you bump into him/her. Worse still, he/she turn around and give you a "What the fuck you trying to do? Rob me and molest me?" face !!! NBCCB...

3) It's a goddamn weekend and the streets are fucking crowded. Some people just like to walk fucking slowly, especially in front of you. You say "excuse me", but they fuck care as if they own the bloody street... FUCK LAH... wanna stroll, go garden lah...

4) Something I don't understand... why some people blast their music from their handphones in public? If you wanna listen to music, get a fucking earphone and plug it in and listen to it yourself. No money to buy earphones ah? Then stay at home don't go out lah! No one wants to listen to your music.

5) When someone says "excuse me" to you, move your body away, and not just your handbag... aunties especially. Some individual had the unfortunate experience of being shouted at by me in a SBS bus early in the morning. If you don't want that experience, be considerate a bit more...

6) You are walking past a shop...in a hurry. Someone comes out from the shop....and then just nice stops in front of you, counting the change or putting the change in the wallet. FUCKING CB... cannot move out of the area first ah?

7) If people are so lazy to take out their EZ link card to tap, then why the fuck they bother to go out? Sometimes when I see those people moving their handbag around the tap machine trying to tap and blocking other people from getting on/off the bus, I feel like taking the handbag and throw it out of the bus, then kick the person off.

8) Some people are just not afraid of vehicles. They can take their fucking own sweet time to cross the road when the lights turn red. Drivers, HORN THE BUGGERS if they continue to walk slowly when you're supposed to move off. Exemptions being the elderly, handicapped and me..hahaha

9) Singaporeans are amazing. No matter how crowded the MRT is, they will always find space to squeeze in, without giving a thought that some people, especially the elderly and kids would be pushed and fall.

10) And if the elderly and kids fall, then the blame should go to those who don't give up their seats to them. SHAME ON YOU. But of course, when other people offers you their seat, take it with a smile and say thank you. If you wanna reject, say it with a smile too. Don't just act blur or look away.

11) Ladies... I know you love your handbags and love to sling them on your shoulders, but please realise that while your handbags are expensive and nice, we feel very uncomfortable when your handbags keep knocking into us when we stand behind you. The least you can do is to clutch them in front of you. I feel like punching you in the face when your handbag knocks into me and then you turn around looking at me as if I'm trying to steal your things.

Ok... got a few more things to add..

12) Driver...pls signal if you are gonna turn left or right. Don't waste my fucking time by not signalling when u gonna turn. I will only get angrier when I have to wait for you before I can cross the road, and then suddenly you turn left... CCB

13) People... do not...I REPEAT...DO NOT hail cab near bus stops. Just because of 1 fucking person, have to make the whole bus stop and wait for you to slowly board the cab... and if the cab driver refuses to go where you wanna go, we have to wait for you to slowly argue with the driver and then slowly get out of the cab..

14) AND DO NOT ASK THE CAB DRIVER TO STOP NEAR TRAFFIC JUNCTIONS AND BUS STOPS !!! See reason above...

15) When you see an accident on the road, keep fucking walking/driving/riding/cycling... unless you wanna be in the accident yourself. Stop causing jams...

16) And if you're on the bus, you don't have to look at the accident scene from your seat, and then walk to the back of the bus and continue looking. If you so bloody interested, get off the fucking bus.

17) I don't understand why some people talk so loudly on the phone. We don't wanna hear what your wife have cooked for you for dinner, or how you spend all your CPF money on a China womana and didn't even manage to fuck her... We really are not interested in your conversations. So, pls stop shouting over the phone...

Ok..I know...I need anger management... hahahahahaha

Xmas Eve

2010-01-02T22:35:00.002+08:00

Yes...I know it's abit late to say this now...but......

To who it may concern:

Lucky my friend never ask me THAT question we discussed during your lunch break on Xmas eve...

HENG AH !!!

Old Traffordish

2009-09-22T00:39:00.003+08:00

Before you start reading this, if you don't even watch football or if you're a Manure fan, get out now.

Old Trafffordish...that was what Arsene Wenger, the manager of Arsenal branded the refereeing during his side's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford after leading 1-0.

The referee gave Manure a penalty after Rooney DIVED in the penalty box after Almunia's challenge. It was a FUCKING DIVE !!! And they equalised through that penalty. Nevermind. Darren Flecter brought Arshavin in the Manure penalty and....no surprises...there was no penalty. I wonder why Arsene Wenger is so upset about the incident. It's clear that ALL referees are afraid that Alex Ferguson will bite them like a mad dog if they ever award a penalty against Manure at Old Trafford. What really made Wenger break was the disallowed goal near the end of the match. It could have been 2-2...no wait...it should be 1-0 to Arsenal. The penalty should not have been given. If the referee had allowed the Arsenal equaliser to stand, Rooney will surely bite him like a mad dog. That's 2 mad dogs in the Manure camp now...and still counting.

Manure vs Man City. The great Manchester derby. What's so great when there's clearly only 1 winner? Manure scores, Man City equalised. Happens 3 times. 3-3. Referee indicates 4mins of injury time. Eh??? 94mins have passed and why the ref did not blow the final whistle?

95mins and Owen pops out and scores the winning goal. Final Whistle. Well done ref. Another controversy in the BPL. Just like WWE. Drama every week.

It looks like the ref was waiting for Owen to score. If he did not allow that to happen, Anderson will bite him like a mad dog. That's 3 mad dogs. And he's lucky that Roy Keane is now at Ipswich as manager and he can only bite his own players.

Explanations were given as to why the game ended on the 95th min. Man City had taken too much time celebrating their 3rd goal which was in the 90th min. So, additional time had to be added. Basically, what's he saying is that the extra time taken by Man City to celebrate their 3rd goal became their undoing as it resulted in the winning goal for Manure.

For me, the best player for Manure against Man City was Ben Foster. He managed to concede 3 goals. Hope he will be England's no. 1 goalkeeper for the coming World Cup. He's a fine young lad.

Alot of other cases have proved that referees are biased.

Manure vs Spurs. Spurs had scored and the video clearly showed the ball crossed the goalline. Yet the referee disallowed it.

Manure vs QPR. 7mins of FUCKING injury time...so that Cantona can score and dashed QPR's hope of staying in the EPL. I think anyone's dislike of Manchester United stems from one particularly harrowing experience. Mine happened on March 16, 1996. My team, QPR, struggling after the sale of Les Ferdinand, were in a relegation dogfight but hope had been revived by the time United came to town. At 4.57pm QPR were heading towards a famous victory, one we like to think would have given the team the momentum to stay up that year and rapidly alter the course of our history. Instead by 4.58pm QPR had drawn after an impossibly late Eric Cantona header had deflated a confidence that was destined never to recover, 13 years down the line we’re still waiting. And QPR was relegated at the end of that season. It sparked off a series of unfortunate events at QPR, including another relegation to League 1. Damn...

No wonder they say Old Trafford is the Theater Of Dreams. Ya..you must be dreaming if you expect to have the referee's backing when you play there.

Now I hope Manure will get their just desserts just like Chelsea for poaching a youngster through 'unorthodox' means...

New stuffs that I've been listening to...and 2 things that puzzles me...

2009-08-27T20:56:00.002+08:00

Right...first off..wanna say something to my beloved QPR...

BETTER WAKE UP YOUR FUCKING IDEA BEFORE YOU HAVE TO FIGHT RELEGATION INSTEAD OF CHALLENGING FOR PROMOTION !!!!!

Ok... back to normal. Been listening to a few bands and some are actually quite funny. I know you must be thinking "Metal got funny one meh?". GOT.

Check out Beatallica. They are a mash-up band that mash up Beatles and Metallica songs. The lyrics and music alternate between both bands. It's refreshing to hear something like this after headbanging to your ipod for a long time.

Also check out Van Canto. They are an a cappella metal band from Germany, founded in 2006. It is composed of five singers and a drummer. They fuses a cappella with heavy metal, creating what they called a cappella metal. 2 members does most of the singing and the other 3 members will imitate the electric guitars and bass with the help of amplifiers. They had covered Metallica's Battery, Nightwish's Wishmaster, Manowar's Kings of Metal, Iron Maiden's Fear Of The Dark etc. They have some original songs too. Check them out at youtube. It's actually funny when you see their reactions when they perform.

Ok...2 things that puzzles I think not only me, but alot of other people also.

1 ) Why the fuck is Tohari Paijan the New Paper Football Analyst???

2) Why the fuck is Shebby Singh presenting football on Starhub when all the other guests are international footballers?

Oh ya...not forgetting...Megadeth new album out on 15 Sept. It will be louder, faster, and more amazing riffs and solos. Be sure to get our copy early. I have already pre-ordered mine.

No eating/drinking on MRT?!?!?!?!

2009-07-26T13:11:00.003+08:00

Wow...4 months since I last updated this blog...

I was reading yesterday's New Paper and saw the article on where you get fined for eating or drinking in the MRT. Not even sweets or just a sip of water. It's gonna cost you $30 for the first time. Medication? Approach the staff...

Let's see.....

On a train to somewhere...not even close to a train station yet...

Old Man : Hhhhheeelllllllppppp......I've got a heart attack, I need my medication ! It's in my pocket...

Passenger 1 : Quick ! Somebody help ! Uncle, no scared, I got your medicine with me liao...

Old Man : I can't swallow without water...

Passenger 1 : Anyone with water ???

ALL passengers in train : No wor...MRT say cannot drink or eat...bring water for wat?

MRT Staff : Can I help?

Passenger 1 : You got water or not?

MRT Staff : Don't have...As a SMRT staff, I must set a good example to all commuters and...

Passenger 1 : DIAM LAH ! don't have say don't have, don't talk so much...so now how? Uncle, you try swallow the medicine without water...

Old Man : Okok..i try

MRT Staff : Sorry ah uncle...cannot eat or drink in the train...why not you wait till the train stops at the next station and we carry you outside so you can eat your medicine?

Passenger 1 : Where got time? Wah lau eh

MRT Staff : Ok..I go intercom and ask...wait ah...

The following day, New Paper headlines...

Elderly Man dies of heart attack in MRT due to the No Eating/Drinking rule.

So...what happens when this type of scenario happens? Just a sip of water cannot drink, eat sweet cannot eat, eat medicine must ask staff...And for those who think that the MRT rule is not strict at all, think again. Think carefully. The above scenario can happen to anyone...

I mean, eating noodles or curry puffs or popiah are indeed too much. Sweets like Mentos, clorets, don't even have wrappers ! Just pop one into the mouth and keep the rest. It's not like we are gonna spit out the sweets...

New York City is fining people for not giving up their seats to the needy. Singapore is considering to enforce this rule. Don't even think of it. It's ridiculous. Sure, some Singaporeans are inconsiderate, but I believe these are the minorities.

People like taking pictures of other people occupying 2 seats or leaning their butt on poles or putting their things on empty seats denying other people a seat. Post it on the internet and people start criticising those inconsiderate people.

Why haven't anyone take pictures of someone giving up their seats to the elderly or needy?

Why haven't anyone take pictures of someone helping blind people cross the road?

Why haven't anyone take pictures of someone helping the needy board the bus?

Why haven't anyone take pictures of someone helping to inform blind people of the number of the approaching bus?

I'm sure all of us have seen some or even all of the above. But nobody remembers them.

Singapore is already a FINE city liao...pls don't add somemore fines lah...

Think about it...

Top 10 albums that changed my life !

2009-03-04T09:49:00.005+08:00

After reading Beez's 10 top albums that changed his life in the Metal Hammer column, I was inspired to my own top 10.

1) Black (Metallica) - The album that got me into thrash metal, or possibly metal itself. The opening drums of Enter Sandman got me hooked.

2) Youthanasia (Megadeth) - My favourite band ! My very first Megadeth album, and the album that got me hooked onto Megadeth and there's no turning back. From then on, I've got all the Megadeth albums. The way Megadeth changed the rhythm of the songs is just simply incredible, and not to mention their amazing guitar riffs. All hail Dave Mustaine !!!

3) Divine Intervention (Slayer) - My very first heavy metal album !!! To be honest, I was captivated by the album cover, and that was what prompted me to buy it. Out of the Big 4 of Thrash metal, only Anthrax doesn't appeal to me. Don't ask me why. I also don't know.

Cover of the Divine Intervention album. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Intervention_(album)

4) Crossroads (Bon Jovi) - What can I say? One of the greatest rock band's compilation.

5) 大地 (Beyond) - Heard the album in Sec 1 and never looked back since. One of Asia's greatest rock bands (Mayday not even in their league). An inspiration to many people who listened to them, including me.

6) The Great Southern Trendkill (Pantera) - I still remember I bought this album at CD-Rama at AMK. Listened to it on the way home. The opening vocals was enough to draw me into listening to this album over and over again. Super under-rated album.

7) Countdown To Extinction (Megadeth) - One of my favourite albums. One of my favourite songs. And one of my favourite album cover. Read the lyrics. Go on. You love it.

8) Theli (Therion) - Knew about this band when a 3rd Sgt in my unit passed me this cd. It was mindblowing to hear heavy metal mixed with orchestral elements, employing use of choirs and classical musicians. Can be considered one of the pioneers of symphonic metal.

9) Wishmaster (Nightwish) - My favourite symphonic metal band. Simply fascinating to hear heavy metal music, with the heavy use of keyboards (Tuomas Holopainen is a genius) and female soprano. And of course, Jukka Nevalainen's double pedalling does help alot!

10) The Graveyard (King Diamond) - I bought the album cos of the album name. Sounds dark and gloomy. It was during the trial and error period of my heavy metal journey. Buy first, then decide if I like the sound of it or not. And luckily for this album, I fell in love with King Diamond. When I first heard King Diamond sing, I was like,"Fucking amazing voice !" He sings in falsetto and mid-range vocals. Fucking amazing to me, even till this day. It was also the first concept album that I've heard.

11th April ! Not gonna miss it !

2009-01-30T21:57:00.004+08:00

Suzhou

2008-11-12T18:20:00.002+08:00

As promised...

The journey of 5 guys to China.......again.

Mao did not join us for this trip, cos he's tied up in 2 ways. Cash and Kim. Too bad...but Jason and Tee joined us for this party !

Took China Eastern again to Shanghai. When the plane reaches Shanghai, and I mean literally just landed, as in the landing gears just touched the runway, this Chinaman in front of me stands up and proceeds to take his luggage from the overhead compartment. What the fuck? So gan cheong to go 投胎 ah? Kena fucked by the air stewardess...she just shouted at him to sit down. Hahaha. Then, when the plane was taxi-ing, his hand reached out for the overhead compartment and he kena fucked again. The third time he tried to retrieve his things and kena screwed again, we couldn't stand it any longer liao...we just laughed out loud.

At the customs, Tee, Calven and me were waiting for Ivan and Jason to clear when we heard the customs officer asked Ivan if the picture in the passport is him or not. Ivan said ya. What the customs said later really best. 你怎么胖了这么多啊? Wah Lau..tell u...really laugh all the way..ahahahah

Took a "maxi cab" to our hotel, expecting to be chopped like carrots, but surprisely it only cost us around $30. Bunked in with Calven while Ivan and Tee shared. Jason took a room himself. The room...fucking smelly. We went to Jason's room to wait for him to check out the next morning. Just as we enter the room, a smell greeted us. Tee asked Jason if he just came out from the toilet and he said no. Jin Best, he can tahan the smell for 1 whole night.

Went for breakfast and bought our train tickets to Suzhou in the afternoon. Reached Suzhou around 2pm and checked in our hotel. On our way there, the surroundings were very scenic, unlike Shanghai where all you can see is tall buildings. Stayed in Suzhou for 5 nights. We drank every night. There was a hotel staff guarding the main door of the hotel every night to prevent other people from entering the hotel after midnight. The first night, we went back around 2am. He asked for our room numbers and we told him. 8311, 8312, 8316, 8318, 8322. The 2nd night, same thing. We told him the names in English are ours. Ok. 3rd night, he knows what to do. 4th night, he asked us, 你们每晚都很迟才回来哦. Last night. He didn't even bother to wake up to tick our names...hahahahaha

All I can say is...Suzhou damn happening. Eat and drink and massage and sleep. Shiok. Went for the traditional massage. They put ginger on my leg, from the sole all the way to the knee, then covered it up with 2-3 layers of cloth. Wrapped it and applied pressure on it. At first, no feeling. then it gets hot. Hotter. Very hot. Damn hot. Fucking hot. KNN !!! JIN HOT !!! I keep asking the girl if the ginger can take out already or not. She keep on telling me not yet...wah lau...cao ta liao lah !!! But once she clear away the ginger, the hotness no more. Feel shiok. From what I hear, this torture helps to dispel heat or something like that...but wanna try again the next time I go.

Went back to Shanghai to buy things, then took the midnight flight back to Singapore. It was a TORTURE !!! We were the last 5 to check in and we were allocated differents seats. We didn't sit in a row...KNN. Nevermind.

This China guy sitting beside me keep on asking me this, asking me that. Wah lau. Irritating. Then I saw Calven filling up the arrival card for his China friend sitting beside him. I laughed. RETIRBUTION !!! The Chinaman beside me told me he cannot understand English and asked me to filled up for him. NB...Then he asked me why I no need to fill. I told him Singaporeans fill up Singapore arrival card for fuck? Wah...he macam tio 4D...looked very happy and asked alot of things about Singapore. I just anyhow answer him, cos I wanna sleep lah !!! Midnight flight leh !!! I told him I wanna sleep. Ok. Then I whipped out my PSP borrowed from my sister, he turned around and asked me 那是手机吗? Ask only nevermind, do you have to lean your whole fucking body on me??? KNN !!! Then in order for me not to talk to him, I take out my Ipod and listen. CB...he asked me if I was listening to the game or listening to songs. I told him songs. He say can lend me listen? So I pass 1 earphone to him. I thought he only listen for awhile. But when I see him adjusting his seat while listening, I knew it's gonna be hard to take back my earphone. I purposely played all the heavy metal songs hoping he cannot tahan and return me the earphone. He can fall asleep lor. I tried to pull the cable so the earphone in his ear can drop off. KNN...when I pull, my earphone dropped. CB !!! Damn fed-up, I off my Ipod and told him no more batteries. When the plane flew over some ships, he asked me if Singapore got any fishing trawlers and proceeded to tell me about his life in China. Wah lau...I was really glad when the plane finally lands...I told myself...Next year, I'm gonna take SQ to Shanghai. Ivan and Calven totally agree with me...hahahahaahahha

Oh ya...before we left China, Ivan suggest that we bluff Mao that me and Ivan quarrel. Onz lah !!! The morning I reached Singapore, Mao sms me at 730am if the trip nice or not. Didn't reply him till 2pm. Told him cannot make it. He called me straight away. I then start my 讲骗话不眨眼 skill and told him that Ivan and me quarrel because he didn't go. No one to order food, no one can decide where to go. Mao really panic. The next day when I went back to work, Ivan was on afternoon shift and I on morning. Ivan came in early and I took the pics from him. Then I told him..Mao lai liao. Ivan's face changed immediately and walked off. Mao saw me and asked me if I got talk to Ivan. I said no. Wah lau..dun like that leh...2 of you my close friends leh..from Fab Blade somemore, talk leh...1 of you start talking first lah.

Wah lau...Mao damn lor soh leh....hahahaha....I then told him I going home liao. Only when Ivan's shift going to end, then he told Mao the truth. It was all just a show. Hahahahahahahhaha.

Anyway, this trip is definitely more fun than the March trip. Hopefully next year it'll be more fun, with more members...hahaha

Will write on the D&D and the Beyond Next Stage concert next. Must take the pics from the photographers first.

Suzhou...here we come again...

2008-11-05T03:03:00.002+08:00

20th-28th Oct 2008. Another trip to China, but will be staying in Suzhou most of the time. What a trip it was. We got entertained by nerds, by some people's stupidity, by some women's dancing and alot of things.

5 of us were laughing all the way from Singapore Changi Airport to Shanghai Pudong Airport, and then back to Changi Airport.

Anyway, when I free, then I write here on what happened. It's late liao. Let u guys see the pics first...

Singaporeans - no brains or pea-brained? (Does not apply to all)

2008-09-05T20:42:00.003+08:00

After 3 weeks of excuse-brain, it's time to go back work liao. During these 3 weeks,my skin became 2-toned. Macam Michael Jackson...1 black and 1 white.

Anyway, this reservist I kena the RSAF Open House. NBCB. Some Singaporeans really CMI.

Got this guy park at the bike parking lot. Tell him nicely that this is a motorbike parking space, yet he insist on parking. When I firmly tell them to leave, he give me a lancheow face and tell me that there's no space to park liao and that he usually park like that. When I'm not around, you can anyhow park, none of my business. When I'm there, you better listen to me. KNN, later I use my lancheow slap your face then you know. You think your car big fuck ah? You can park. It's ok. I can always call TP and tow your car away. The TP compound is just beside only. And besides, that particular is the nearest to the entrance liao lor... you tell me far. FYUTA !!!

Some drivers tell me why the carpark so far away from the entrance. What? FYUTA. You think your grandfather army ah? You are the public and using your common sense, you should know that you cannot park inside the base, be it Open house or whatever fuck. Unless you show me a pass, you have to park outside and fucking walk to the entrance. Whether it rains or not is none of my fucking problem.

There was this guy who came up to me and tell me that his key is locked inside the car and asked me whether I can help him. I told him that I can't and he asked if there's any guys who can help him. I said no, we are all very busy directing the traffic. Then he tell me, "Why need so many people to direct the traffic? So many people and yet no one can help me?" Hello, you cannot see the traffic mass orgy at the traffic lights meh? KNN. If we don't stand there, you don't even have a single chance to even reach the carpark lor... and btw, WE ARE NOT FUCKING LOCKSMITHS !!! KNN. You think we jack of all trades ah? FYUTA lah !

And some are not only brainless, but also deaf. I can tell this group of people that they cannot cross the traffic light, then the next group immediately after them can still ask me whether can cross or not. DEAF AH??? And some still insist on crossing. FYUTA. The idea of preventing them from crossing the traffic lights is to smoothen the traffic. If that traffic light everytime turn red for the cars and let people cross the road, confirm traffic jam. If traffic jam, these same people who travelled in cars will be stuck in the jam earlier. If they got stuck in the jam, they sure complain. So...you go think about it yourself. Common sense...

Of course, not all are like that. Some people are still nice.

Few things I learned from this reservist.
1) Some Singaporeans have no brains.
2) Even if they have, it's too fucking small that they cannot locate it, much less use it.
3) Singapore weather fuck up. 1 minute rain, then the next minute sunshine.
4) See (1)
5) See (2)
6) The more successful you are in life, the more you behave like you own the whole world, which means you behave like as asshole.

Some good things did come out good. Made a few good friends. Catch up on what's happening to my batch of friends. That's all...

FYUTA = **** *** ** *** ***.

Go guess.

Gold or Silver?

2008-08-15T18:21:00.002+08:00

Finally !!! The long-awaited silver or gold medal in the Olympics !!! Singapore are in the final of the Womens Table Tennis and will face most probably China in the final. Recorded a hard fought 3-2 win over South Korea in the semi-final.

I've watched the team in the 2000 and the 2004 Olympics only to see them crash out in the semi-finals, then subsequently lost in the 3rd/4th placing match to finish 4th.

To be able to enter the finals this year is a great achievement.

Good luck Singapore !!!

有借没还, 再借很难 !

2008-08-10T00:26:00.002+08:00

Alrite ! Queens Park Rangers started their promotion pushing campaign back to the English Premier League with a comeback 2-1 win over Barnsley. Barnsley took the lead as early as the 5th minute. But of course, the impressive QPR regained the lead with 2 goals in as many minutes with Emmanuel Ledesma and Daniel Parejo looking very impressive. A good start to what I hoped a good campaign. My expectations? At least the play-offs !!! Come on you Rssssssssss!!!!!

Gonna type the rest in Chinese...cos......read first, then those who know, will know. Those who dunno, too bad...

他又在sms我. 但是这次是主动告诉我几时还我钱. 还真的给他吓到了. 没想到这次这么自动. 但是讲好何时还钱后, 他又开口跟我借. 这次说他需要还亲人的医药费.

不是我不要信你, 但你全家已经给你讲到欠债的欠债, 进医院的进医院, 借 Ah Long 的借 Ah Long , 你要我怎样相信你?

我借你时, 你说很快还我. 我不是介意你借了没钱还, 我是介意你一直在骗我. 说好几时还就几时还. KNN, 你跟我说过几次下个星期还?　你还了吗？

这笔債还没还之前，你休想从我这里在借到钱！

Fucking fed-up!

UPDATES, Updates and updates

2008-06-20T22:29:00.005+08:00

Just when everyone thought that this blog is dead and that everyone don't expect me to update, here I am again.

Been losing sleep over football. (Not soccer, you bloody Yanks !!!) Not that I'm losing money or that my favourite team was knocked out by the team I hated, but it's because whenever I try to sleep around 9pm so I can wake up at 2am or sleep around 5am after the match has ended, I'm always disturbed by who else, but the idiots upstairs. Trust me, they have not seen the angry me yet. I shall release my full wrath on them when I really cannot tahan.

But back to Euro 08. It's been a disappointing tournament. France, bye. Not goodbye, but... CHEE BYE !!! When it's time to play attacking football against Romania, you played defensive and draw 0-0. When it's time to play defensive football against Holland, you attack and lost 4-1. And yes, against Italy, you managed to disgrace yourself again...Well done..Thanks alot.

Recently, Sam and I have been doing a little debt collecting and guess who's the first one to pay up? The creditor himself ! ME !!! We started a little bet going around asking people to invest who they think will win the Euro 08 and I picked France. And they went out in the group stages. Anyway, whoever receives a similar sms like this, you know it's time to pay up.

"Dear investor, you are reminded to bring your 50 bucks tml for your payment for the support of the (insert country) team in Euro 2008. Pls be reminded that late payment will incur an additional 50 bucks late payment fee. Thank you for your support and we hope to see you again in 2 years time in the 2010 World Cup."

But anyway, despite losing that 50 bucks, I'm still winning on my other investments and I hope whoever is in this together with me will HUAT HUAT HUAT all the way !!!

PS:cln, think you have to pay my sms bills for me this month. hahahahahahaha

I'm a sucker for metal concert DVDs. I just have to own them, no matter what. Damn. I would even buy the concert DVD of a band whose songs are always skipped when it plays on my iPod. Damn !!! Recently bought Epica, Arch Enemy, Slipknot, Gigantour 1 and 2 DVDs. All are good. But as long as it's metal, it's good for me.

Whoever says that metal bands are only making noise, please, do me a favour. Come and kiss my ass. They have good songs too ok, not like the usual pop singer. 2 songs I wanna recommend this time round.

Your Rain by Exilia, Fools of Damnation by Epica and Sorry by Buckcherry. I just post the lyrics of Sorry here,

Sorry

Oh I had alot to say
Was thinking on my time away
I missed you and things weren't the same
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
This time I think I'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
We get older and blame turns to shame
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah sorry
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
I'm sorry baby.
I'm sorry baby, Yeah.
I'm sorry.

Thanks to Nick for suggesting to jam Sorry. It's really a nice song.

Lately, I have been catching up on my CSI. Season 7. I never get sick of watching people getting cut up. I'm sick. Eh...sounds familiar.....hahahaha. Eagerly waiting for Season 8 and 9 now.

Now I know how irritated people can get when their phones keep ringing every 5-10 mins. Too irritated that sometimes I just don't bother to reply...or just totally switch off my phone. Can't enjoy my sleep, or my game, or my DVD. When I'm doing morning shift, sms comes around 11pm when I'm trying to sleep. When I'm doing afternoon shift or overnight, sms come when I sleeping in the morning. Well done lor...

cln, this time, I'm not referring to you ah...I always got reply you ah...

Recently got nothing to do, so go online and do some fortune telling. Here's the results. If you wanna understand how it works, ask me. Not gonna explain it here. Too lengthy.

http://www.yisuan.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=72_73

Seems like I will have a good life, but it sure doesn't seem it that way yet.

香蕉哥哥, saw your blog. Thanks for the advice. I try my best...

Ok...that's all for now. Till next time.

Queens Park Rangers

2008-05-04T23:17:00.004+08:00

Once a R, always a R !

Queens Park Rangers.

An English club that I've supported since 1990. Almost 18 years ago, I was captivated by the playing style of a team playing in white and blues hoops jerseys. It was Queens Park Rangers. In the end of the 89-90 season, they finished 11th in the old English Division 1. From that point onwards, I decided to pledge my allegiance to a mid-table club instead of championship winning clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal or Man Utd. What's the joy of supporting a club when it's always up there challenging for titles?

A short history of the club.

QPR was formed in 1882, when a team known as St Jude's merged with Christchurch Rangers. The resulting team was called Queens Park Rangers, because most of the players came from the Queens Park area of North-West London. QPR became a professional team in 1889 and played their home games in nearly 20 different stadia (a league record), before permanently settling in Loftus Road in 1917 (although the team briefly played at White City between 1931-3 and 1962-63 in the hope of attracting larger crowds).

The QPR jersey in 1886.

They first changed to their famous blue and white hoops in 1927.

The jersey when I first supported QPR

The jersey now

Queens Park Rangers played on two grounds within Park Royal. The first was the Horse Ring, the site of the now-demolished Guinness Brewery, on the Royal Agricultural Society's show grounds from 1904 to 1907 which had a capacity of 40,000. When the Society sold the grounds in 1907, QPR moved to the Park Royal Ground, 400 yards south, an almost exact replica of Ayresome Park, with a capacity of 60,000. The club were forced to move out in February 1915 as the ground was taken over by the Army.
QPR were promoted as champions of Division 3 South in the 1947/48 season. Dave Mangnall was the manager as Rangers enjoyed 4 seasons in the Second division, being relegated in 1951-52. Tony Ingham was signed from Leeds United and went on to make most ever league appearances for QPR (519).
Prior to the start of the 1959-60 season saw the arrival of arguably the club's greatest ever manager, Alec Stock. The 1960-61 season saw QPR achieve their biggest win to date - 9-2 vs Tranmere Rovers in a Division 3 match. In time, Stock, with the advent as Chairman in the mid-60s of Jim Gregory helped to achieve a total transformation of the club and its surroundings.

In 1966-67, QPR won the Division Three championship and became the first Third Division club to win the League Cup on Saturday, March 4, 1967, beating West Bromwich Albion 3-2, (coming back from a two goal deficit). 40 years on, it is still the only major trophy that QPR have won. The final was also the first League Cup Final to be held at Wembley Stadium. The undoubted star of the team was Rodney Marsh who scored 44 goals, but also included Les Allen, Roger Morgan and captain Mike Keen.They won promotion again the following year, reaching the top flight for the first time in their history, but were relegated after just one season.In 1975-76 Dave Sexton led them to the runners-up spot in the First Division, missing out on the Championship by a single point. After completing their 42-game season, QPR sat at the top of the league 1 point ahead of Liverpool. Liverpool had to win their final game of the season, at Wolverhampton Wanderers to clinch the title. Because of Liverpool appearing in the then two-legged UEFA Cup Final, the game was held over for ten days. Despite Wolves taking the lead and holding it until the 77th minute, Liverpool scored 3 times to win 3-1 and win the League Championship Must be kelong!!!). The squad contained 5 England internationals and internationals from the home nations and Morocco. QPR were unable to recreate their wonderful league form in 1976-77 but the cup competitions saw some success. The side reached the semi-finals of the League Cup but lost in a replay to Aston Villa and in their first entry into European football reached the quarter finals of the UEFA Cup losing to AEK Athens FC on penalties. In 1977 Sexton moved to Manchester United to be succeeded by Frank Sibley and Steve Burtenshaw and two years later QPR slipped into the Second Division. In 1981, QPR reached the FA Cup Final for the only time in the club's history, facing holders and London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The first game ended 1-1 after extra time and so for the second year running the Final was to be decided by a replay. Tottenham won the replay 1-0 with the only goal coming from a Glenn Hoddle penalty in the 6th minute.

The club's nicknames are Rangers, Rs, Superhoops.

So much for the history of the club. I can see many of you skipping that large chunk of information. Shame on you.

I remember I always used to watch QPR play on TV every Sunday when it was showing the Div 1 highlights and it's always a joy to see your favourite club scores, not matter how many times. Just ask any football supporter. In the 1992-93 season, the old English Division 1 was replaced by the English Premier League and QPR was one of the founding members of the EPL. I'm sure that not many of you realised it right? We finished 11th in the last season of the old English Division 1.

On New Year's Day 1992, QPR recorded the most memorable victory. A 4-1 win over Man Utd at Old Trafford. That really made my day. You should see Alex Ferguson's face at the final whistle. It's just as if he's eaten his own shit. I have the highlights of that match in my ipod. Another 4-1 win over Leeds United was the highlight of the season. We finished 5th in the first season of the EPL. It was also the highest placing ever by QPR in the EPL ever, finishing the season as London's top club.

However, in 1996, QPR was relegated to Div 1. The real taste of disbelief, disappointment, anger and sadness when your favourite club is relegated to a lower tier of English football is unbearable. We competed in the Division until 2001 and was relegated again to Div 2. You can imagine my disbelief ! From the founding member of the EPL to playing in the 3rd tier of English football. What a fall. The then-manager, Ian Holloway, a former player, brought promotion back to Div 1 in 2004 and we stayed there until now.

QPR was involved in scandals and financial problems and entered administration in 2001 and left administration with a 10m debt. 2 promising players died within a year of each other. It was really a sad time for the club and its supporters.

Then in 1st Sep 2007, the 125th anniversary of the club, F1 motor racing tycoons Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone purchased the club for 1m pounds and wiped off the club's 13m pounds debt. Immediately, they went to work and appointed Luigi De Canio as manager of the club and brought in 7 players during the January transfer window. Ecclestone later revealed the new owners' intention to return QPR to the Premiership within 4 years. On 20 December 2007, it was announced that the Mittal family, headed by the world's 5th richest person, Lakshmi Mittal, had taken a 20% stake in the club. Mittal's son in law Amit Bhatia, was appointed a club director.
Now, QPR could boast that they are now richer than their rivals, Chelsea. On 25 March 2008 Q.P.R. confirmed that, from the 2008-09 season and for five seasons, their kits will be supplied by Lotto Sport Italia as part of a number of new partnerships formed by Flavio Briatore.

The 125th anniversary badge.

Loftus Road !!!

I'm certain that QPR will be considered among the promotion favourites next season and if they do get promoted, you can never get me out on a Saturday night. I'll be at home watching QPR play in the EPL.

There have been talks of QPR buying certain players that will propel the club into the EPL and even the Champions League and I'm excited to see what players they will buy come July when the trasfer window opens.

For me, supporting a football club means staying with the club no matter how they perform. Whether they win titles or championships or relegated or even declared bankrupt, they must still be able to tell people that they are supporters of the club. I'm sure that if Man Utd or Chelsea is relegated now, they'll lose more than 30% of their fans. These are the people that follow winning teams. Shame on you.

Come On You Rsssssssssss!!!!!!

I know not many people will read this post, but who cares. I'm proud to be a QPR fan.

Will always be a R till the day I die.

Singapore is still the best...

2008-03-30T00:26:00.003+08:00

13th - 19th March. The 4 of us embark on a mission to save China. But we had to endure a 5 hr flight to our destination. Shanghai. I've been there twice before, and both times it was for work. This is the first time I'm going there for holiday. And what a holiday it was. 4 went, and 4 came back sick...jin best.

Anyway, let me introduce the 4 main characters first. Me...u guys should know me. No need to say so much liao. Anthony aka Mao...I think some of u dunno him. Nvm then. Next up, Ivan. Same. The people who know him will know Mao also. Lastly, Calven. See above description.

A good-hearted lady went to pick up Ivan, then Mao then me then send us to the airport. Thanks alot ah...but I already give u a gift...so quit asking me to give u a treat !!! Met up with Calven at the airport at 8am, checked in, and proceeded to wreck havoc at the waiting gates with our laughter. Our flight is 10am and we reached Shanghai Pudong airport at around 3pm. Damn...what a boring flight. Can't fall asleep. Lucky Ivan lend me his PSP for about 1.5hrs. When I finally start to fall asleep, someone told me to straighten my seat and keep the trays back and switch off my ipod. Damn...

Reached the airport and proceeded to take the Maglev train from the airport to the city centre. It costs me 50RMB, and the trip took about 8mins. It was the most expensive short trip I've ever taken, but it was also the fastest. Was travelling at 430km/hr at one point.

The whole distance was around 30km. Reached the city centre and we took their MRT to 人民广场 and walked to our hotel. Checked in the hotel, rest awhile and it's out to find something to fill our stomachs.

Checking in...

Our first bite in Shanghai.

Our hotel is situated at Nanjing Road, the famous shopping street in Shanghai. Always got people. No difference from Orchard Road, only that the things are cheaper, the air is dirtier, the wind is colder and most importantly, the gals are prettier over in Shanghai. Everywhere we go, you can hear us say...wah...chio chio chio....wah....swee swee.....wah....best best......

Nothing much was done in our first night in Shanghai. Walked all the way to the Bund and there was fog everywhere. KNN. Waste my time. And we ate alot. Really alot...

Went to bed early to prepare for the next day. I shared a room with Mao, cos Calven and Ivan cannot tahan snoring. For me, no problem, cos I can sleep anywhere and everywhere. OK....except on a plane. And in a disco. And in a pub. And in a jungle infested with mosquitos.

2nd day. Walked all the way to the Bund. Again. But this time, we will be crossing the tunnel and go up the Mingzhu Tower, which I did not manage to do on my previous 2 trips. Paid 120RMB for the journey across the tunnel and up the tower to see the whole Shanghai from the top.

Guess this is the only picture with all 4 of us...

And the ticket entitled us to a visit to the museum featuring the old Shanghai. Was indeed an eye-opener. Alot of babes were inside the museum !!! Took a lot of the babes pictures. Beg me and maybe I let u see the pics. On our way back, we were approached by 2 gals who were trying to make us go drink coffee with them. Since the 2 of them were not that pretty, we lost interest and carried on walking, ignoring them. Hahaha. At night, Calven suggested we go Attica Shanghai. Me and Mao agreed. Ivan didn't join us cos he was feeling abit sick and decided to rest in the hotel. So after dinner and some rest, we went to wait for a cab near our hotel. Guess we waited around 1hr and you can still see 3 idiots waiting in the cold for a goddamn bloody Shanghai cab. Didn't managed to get. Then suddenly Mao said something. I'm hungry. We turned and scanned around. KFC !!! The 3 of us decided to go eat KFC. Smsed Ivan about our plan and he came down to joined us. In the restaurant, we saw the 2 gals inside and they pretend not to see us. Heng ah...thought they would come and "harass" us again...hahaha

3rd day. Went to Yu Yuan and the 城皇庙. Wah...more babes !!! Beg me and I'll let you see the pics. Yu Yuan was damn fucking crowded. Everywhere got people. Everywhere got babes.

Me, Mao and Ivan at Yu Yuan.

Bought quite a few things there. Went inside the 城皇庙 and prayed. Then we went to Huaihai Road, another shopping street. At night, we went to Attica. The journey there was tiring. Since we did not know how to go, we stopped a cab and said we wanna go to this place. The cab driver told us not far from here. Can walk there. Ok lor...so we walked. And walked. And walked. And walked. Walked for about 1hr...kao...still cannot find the place. As we walked and walked, suddenly Ivan called out...there...Attica...Wah lau... it's inside a building and there's no lights or whatever fuck. Only a sign. Attica Shanghai. Kaoz. So we went in around 10 plus and came out around 12 plus. Why so early? Cos the crowd comes in only at 3am and we got a train to catch the next day morning. Fuck the crowd. So late then come in for fuck?

4th day. Boarded a train to Suzhou. At the Shanghai train station, the scene was scary. Alot of people were camping outside the station. For what I also dunno. All I can say is that I'm starting to miss Singapore already. Everyone was rushing to get onto the train when it arrived. Why the fuck would you want to cheong when you already have seats allocated to you? Siao...everyone was rushing and only the 4 of us relac relac. the journey was about 1hr and we took a cab to our hotel. All I can say is that while the air at the Suzhou train station was damn jialat, the air at our hotel location was damn good. Felt so relaxing and we went for our dinner. Not much happening in Suzhou.

5th day. Boarded another train to Wuxi. It was a last min decision to visit Wuxi. After we reached there, the first thing is to find a hotel and we found it in 5mins. Hotels were everywhere near the Wuxi train station. Checked in and proceeded to our destination. The water Margins and the 3 Kingdoms filmsite. The CCTV had built these 2 filmsites out from nowhere and shot these 2 films. After the filming was done, they retained the 2 filmsites and used it as a tourist attraction. As usual, spent about 4 hrs there. 3 kingdoms leh...my fav...must take all the pics. Used to see all these sights on TV, and now I'm really in that place. Amazing. And the horse urine smell...amazing also.

Me and Calven. If you got watch the Stephen Chow show about Tang Bohu, you would remember how the 4 of them walked on the bridge. A pity that Edmund and Alvin were not here...

The Taihu. The 3rd largest saltwater lake in China.

Me and Calven did abit of role-playing.

Me checking his pulse before going to war.

And here I am, giving out orders to him to attack.

And he failed and I had to escort him to jail...

6th day. Took a train from Wuxi back to Shanghai and spent the whole buying things for people back home. Went out empty handed and came back not empty handed...ok...I know...lame...

Finally, on the last day, went back to Pudong airport and wasted another 5 hrs of my life on a boring flight. I miss SQ and CX flights...and the stewardess.......

A strange phenomen occurred when we were in China. Every restaurant we went to, it was almost empty, or empty. No customers. However, after we sit down and begin our meal, the restaurants suddenly became crowded. Happened alot of times. Dunno why also.

Actually, I took alot of pics during this trip. But it's impossible to post all of them here. So...beg me...and I'll let u see them.

Dreams...

2008-03-10T13:15:00.001+08:00

Have not seen you for so many years, but why do I keep on dreaming about you for the past 2 days?

Title...dunno what to put...

2008-02-27T12:01:00.003+08:00

Woah... seems like I'm always the last one to blog, and had to rely on others to "force" me to start blogging... I'm just plain lazy...

Anyway, Edmund, Terry, Calven, Cindy and Carol arranged to meet up on 16th Feb. It's gonna be a long day for me. At first, Alvin and me was supposed to meet under Edmund's block. But when I reached the place, Alvin was nowhere to be seen. I called him alot of times, and he never even picked up the phone. Nevermind about him liao. Used to it.

We went to Carol's place first, and we start eating and drinking.

Next off, to Terry's place. Same thing. Eating and drinking.

Then to Cindy's place. Same.

Lastly, to my place. Not the same. The butchies are back in action again. Check out the pictures.

The butchies...

The 3 Talents of Jiangnan...the other one still sleeping...

After all the moving about, Edmund sent me and Calven to company. Calven went to work and I waited for Anthony/Ivan/Tee to finish work and proceeded to Benson's house for a gathering. As usual, when alot of people gathered, there's bound to be gambling. At first, I was losing money, then me and Anthony and Ivan decided to team up. My responsibility is to check the cards, Ivan to take extra cards and Anthony to sit behind the banker to make him drunk and to make him suay. We succeeded and won. Too much laughter and noise... pictures...

The snake waiting to pounce...

onto the food...

Benson, the host preparing the food while the rest of us gambles...

Using an intimidating stance to scare off the banker, Sam

MAO !!! What u looking at???

Yes...it's the 4 of us again...

Now 5 of us... including Iron Fan...hahaha

That's all folks. Till next time.

AI ?!?!

2008-02-15T01:49:00.003+08:00

Edmund say my blog also gone with the wind, just like the last blog entry. I say got nothing to write, and he said I could write about AI. It's an unpleasant incident, and since my blog is all about happiness, I just blog about this using modified lyrics from an already modified song of Jay Chow. The original song is 千里之外, but someone on youtube changed it to 欠我十块. But I will changed it to 欠我AI...

To someone whom it may concern, this song is for you...

Just a nonsensical post...

Gone with the wind.....I mean smell...

2008-01-18T12:45:00.000+08:00

At first, I didn't know what to blog. Nothing exciting is happening. Work, eat, play game, sleep...Boring...

Until I read Edmund's blog, then I realise there is something that I can blog about. The Legend.

4 months after we passed out (graduate, not faint...), the company finally treat him makan cuttlefish. People might think that it's unfair or even cruel to treat him like that. The company can just downgrade him to operator. But think about it. Would you rather have an operator who is working for you 1) keeps on taking MC, to the extent of exceeding 14 MCs per year, 2) keeps on going MIA, no call no show, 3) keeps on boasting how many cars he have, how good his cars are, 4) how good he is at guitars and drums, to the extent that Mike Portnoy wants to jam with him??? 5) how many platinums his band got for their albums in Japan and 6) keeps on borrowing money from other people when he's so rich to own so many fancy cars and platinums??? WHAT THE FUCK !!!

When I received the sms confirming that he's been sacked, I felt pity and sad for him. But only for that instant...maybe even less than a second. Why am I so heartless, you may ask. I also dunno. I just feel it that way. Maybe because he deserved it.

As I mentioned before, the smells he left behind in the locker room are legendary. Everytime he's inside the "small alley" changing, I wouldn't go in. See the small map below. The H are the lockers. The * is where my locker and his are located, just at the corner and the ^ are the walkway.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
H^^^*
H^^^HHHHHHHHHHHHHH
H^^^
H^^^HHHHHHHHHHHHHH
H^^^
H^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^DOOR

There's one time, I work half day, so i went down to change. As I turn round the corner, I noticed a pair of shoes and coverall on the floor. DAMN !!! Why is he there at this time??? So I went over and knn...it's really him. He gave me a smile and stop changing. "FUCK YOU LAH !!! Quick lah...I wanna go home !" I politely reminded him. So he changed, and then went out. I thought heng ah.......he can go first. Dun wanna walk with him. Then...as I was changing, he came back to talk to me, asking me about FM08, PS2, and dunno what other fuck lah. Cannot remember. All I know was that the tone I used to reply him, an idiot would know that I dun wanna talk to you liao. And yet, he can keep on talking and asking till my answers were only 1 word answer. Ya, dunno, ok, maybe..................

From the way he talks about his car and his exploits in Japan, people might think he's rich. Yet he borrow here, borrow there, borrow everywhere. Even borrow from the operators in my department, and the operators don't even really know him !!! There's something else...but cannot say here. If you wanna know, ask me personally...

Great...1st blog of 2008 is about him getting terminated.

SICK

2007-12-22T21:34:00.000+08:00

I'M SICK !!!

SICK IN THE MIND.......AND IN THE HEAD.......AND SICK OF THIS BLOODY FUCKING WORLD !!!

What a way to end this year's blogging...

Bye

Kukup

2007-12-01T00:28:00.000+08:00

Dunno why, but I actually promised to go Kukup with them. And so, we set off for Kukup on 25th Nov, a Sunday morning. Wanted to fly aeroplane on the actual day, cos abit lazy to wake up, but already pay $70 liao, plus got the chance to suan other people for the whole trip, so...why not? Just go lah.

Ah-ha !!! You guys must be expecting me to take pictures of the transport we took, at the customs, in the bus, blah blah blah right? No...I didn't take any pictures, cos I was busy teaming up with "Sugar monk" and Ivan to suan Mao. The 3 of us damn on form, never stop. Ok...we did stop for like about 20mins after the JB customs, but after that, we start suaning again. What did we suan Mao about? It's for me to know and for you to find out. Please call 1-800-Suan-Mao.

Reached the place around 12 plus in the afternoon, then went for lunch in a restaurant. Then we proceeded to our "house". As usual, there's nothing to do down there except go out buy things or sleep or sing KTV or play mahjong or carrom or poker... We sang KTV the whole afternoon. As Sugar Monk says, "why we spend money to come overseas and do the things we can do in Singapore?"

When night time came, it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy much better. First off was the BBQ dinner. What's best about BBQ you may ask. The best thing is that we no need to get our hands dirty. Got people to BBQ for us. Then, the highlight of the night. Fireworks ! We went to some ulu place to set off fireworks. It was fun, though they say the fireworks we set off that night are chicken-feed. After the fireworks came mahjong. I don't play mahjong, cos I go sleep, after witnessing a few hilarious incidents. What incidents? Please call 1-800-Suan-Mao.

Then the next day we took a ferry/boat/ship/whatever to a kelong. Nothing much except the puffer fish, small sharks and some dunno what fish. Mao never go. Why? To know the answer, Please call 1-800-Suan-Mao.

The post not funny right...dun have my usual standards hor...ok...lemme try again.

Sugar Monk's broken English provided 2 jokes for us.

When we were walking halfway, he saw a dunno what fish, then he told me the fish can spit out inserts. I was like HUH??? Inserts??? You work too much issit? Come holiday also think of work? Then after a few exchange of vulgar languages, I realised he said insects. NBCCB...

Then...when we were preparing to go back home, he said in Hokkien 白金, 白金 ! I went HUH??? again. What 白金? Who die? Then same thing. After a few exchange of vulgar languages, I realised he said "packing packing". Jialat...

Oh ya...he pointed to me a piece of shit floating on the water while on the way out to the main road...chee bye...

Actually got alot of things very funny happened. But cannot tell. But if you wanna know, you know what to do. Please call 1-800-Suan-Mao.

Wah...long time never blog liao...dunno what to write liao...no form today...see pictures better...

See my photography skills...

Playing Fireworks !

Group photo...not all....14 of us went, but only the 4 of us can make it....hahahahahahaha

Amithabha...

Where is Mao??? Please call 1-800-Suan-Mao.

Megadeth Live In Singapore !!!

2007-10-29T01:03:00.000+08:00

26th Oct 2007 is the date.

Megadeth is the band.

United Abominations Tour Of Duty 2007 is the event.

And what a show it was !!! I have been waiting for this day since 1995 !!! And it was fitting that the first ever heavy metal act that I went to is my favourite band, Megadeth !!!

Met up with James at City Hall MRT and then proceeded to Fort Canning Park. Upon reaching the area, I could already hear the music blaring away from the speakers. And as you approach the venue, this is what greets you.

The big poster hanging on top of the entrance

We listened to alot of heavy metal songs while waiting eagerly for the concert to kick off. This is the first time that Megadeth is performing here in Singapore and everyone was excited. The atmosphere was electrifying. Around 9pm, Megadeth kicked off the concert with a new song, Sleepwalker from their new album, United Abominations amidst the chants of Megadeth ! Megadeth ! Megadeth ! We went wild, and even more wild when Dave Mustaine starts his exceptionally speedy fingering and shredding on the guitar fret board. Ok...the crowd went wild, including me, but James was as composed as ever...hahahaha.

Glen Drover was good on the guitars. Nailed every song perfectly the way Marty Friedman played last time. But Glen is Glen and Marty is Marty. They both have their own styles. James LoMenzo, the bassist, was the most active. Running around the whole stage during the whole concert, inciting the crowd to headbang to the songs. Shawn Drover's double pedals were perfect that night, and his thundering bass drums really contributes alot to the furious headbanging by the crowd.

The 3500 strong crowd sang along to every song. Including me. 18 songs played, including my personal favourite, In My Darkest Hour. When Dave Mustaine, the main man, said "I knew a little French", the crowd went wild, cos we know he will be singing A Tout Le Monde and during the chorus, Dave Mustaine was not singing, but looking at us sing ! And when I heard the bass drums and the familiar bass lines of Peace Sells, my first reaction was to raise up both my hands doing the "Devil's Horn" sign and go headbanging !!! Ok...almost every song I was doing that, but Peace Sells is really exceptional.

And they played She Wolf, which was not played at the Thailand and Jakarta concerts.

They played Holy Wars, The Punishment's Due during the encore. In case you dunno, that's 1 song. Not 2. During the middle of the song, they suddenly changed to another song, Mechanix, then revert back the Holy Wars. The solos by Dave Mustaine and Glen Drover was amazing !

Here's some of the things Dave Mustaine said that night.

"Good Evening, alrite it is such a priviledge to finally be here playing for you tonite. When we're flying in this morning I was looking out the window of the airplane, and I was looking at the ground and I was looking at the buildings, I was looking at everything here and I thought fuck this is a beautiful country. You know Megadeth is one of those bands that will play anywhere so if the promoters will bring us there and we've played some places that are pretty much disaster areas. Coming in to town today, I want to tell you something, I feel like I am right at home. I do want to say one thing before we go any further, for those of you that have heard we're going to cancel because of the fires thats in California, in San Diego. The fire's thats in San Diego, my home, James's father home, is in San Diego. The fires are ok and as you can tell with me standing here in front of you, we did not cancel.And one thing you got to know about me, and about Megadeth, is its going to take more than my house burning to the ground, to ever cancel for you..."

"How many of you here have seen Megadeth live and where? As u can see, I'm real, and my love for you is real. Man, I wish for one second that you can stand here with me and see how beautiful you look.And I want to tell you something, so far since we left United States and came over here, we played Thailand and Indonesia, and we did not play She Wolf for them so you got an extra song. And I was talking to the boys backstage and I said - you know what, I got a feeling this could be one of those nights and we probably will play some extra songs tonight, ( cue - mega cheers from the audience ) ......... and of course they say no. ( cue - mega depression from the same audience LOL! )I'm just kidding, so I dont want to fuck around anymore, I dont talk a lot in concert because I dont think you pay to comr here for this concert and listen to me talk. I think musicians who stand up here and waste your time by talking are fucking losers. So we're going to play as much as we can right now. We got about six more songs and then its off to the hospital "

"I was asking the people how to say Thank you in Singapore language and they told me u guys know English. So, Thank You ! Oh, by the way, I knew a little French." This is what he said before he sang A Tout Le Monde. Nicely sets the stage to sing the song.

Bought the United Abominations Tour Of Duty 2007 T-shirt and a poster.

Ok...not gonna bore you on what I did that day. Just look at the pictures !!!

Dave Mustaine, the main man !!!

Mustaine and the drummer, Shawn Drover.

Dave Mustaine

Mustaine and Glen Drover

Glen Drover

James LoMenzo

Glen Drover, Shawn Drover, Dave Mustaine, James LoMenzo

Too bad there are very few pictures of the drummer, Shawn Drover.

By the end of the concert, almost everyone was soaking wet. No...it did not rain. Wet cos everyone was sweating due to the headbanging along to all the songs. If they come again to Singapore, I will definitely go again. And I think the other 3500 people who was there that night would agree with me.

As someone said, God is not up there, but down here on earth and enjoys playing thrash/speed metal !!!

Here's the setlist
Sleepwalker
Take No Prisoners
Wake Up Dead
Skin O' My Teeth
Washington Is Next
A Tout Le Monde
In My Darkest Hour
Hangar 18
Gears Of War
She Wolf
Kick The Chair
Tornado
Ashes In Your Mouth
Never Walk Alone
Symphony Of Destruction - Ext.
Trust
Peace Sells - Ext.
Holy Wars/Mechanix/The Punishment's Due

The crowd was great, the band was great, the music was great and the atmosphere was great. I would have regretted if I did not manage to go to this concert. I've already missed the 2005 Beyond farewell concert in Singapore and I regretted it till this day. I'm not gonna miss another of my favourite band's concert.......

GREAT CONCERT !!! THANK YOU MEGADETH FOR MAKING MY DREAM TO SEE YOU LIVE COME TRUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok...my wishlist...hope to see the following bands here in Singapore...
Megadeth (AGAIN) !!!
Nightwish
Iron Maiden
Children Of Bodom
King Diamond
Lacuna Coil
Within Temptation
Metallica
Blind Guardian
Xandria
Beyond !!! (Pls come back for one more concert !!!)

Guess this is the post with the most pictures...

Did not bring a camera that day, took some photos using my handphone and the quality sucks. Most of the pics were taken by Amaka of soft.com.sg. Thanks alot for allowing me to post your pics on my blog ! Rock On !!!

我和Megadeth有个约会

2007-10-19T14:47:00.000+08:00

26th Oct !!! The date is drawing near !!! Megadeth Live in Singapore !!! This is the first time I'm gonna see Dave Mustaine in the flesh. Although my preferred line-up of Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Marty Friedman and Nick Menza is not around anymore, I think this new line-up is better than the ones of Al Pitrelli and Jimmy DeGrasso. Can't wait to see them live !!!

One of General Repair's trainer, Keith had an industrial accident. Went to hospital to visit him, but he already gone for his operation, so didn't manage to see him. Get well soon !!!

After reading Edmund's post on the legendary smell, I kena one power one on Thursday night. Because his locker is below mine, and he's changing also, so I went past him to go to the other side of the locker. As I went past him, I caught the smell coming from dunno where. Either his legs, shoes, body, clothes, overall, I dunno. It all smells the same...Terry and Justin saw my face after I went past him. I nearly merlion...

Imagine this. During my NS, I once had an aircon bunk with no windows. My platoon went out for a whole week of exercise and it rained the whole week. So you can imagine the smell when you open the door of the bunk when we returned to the bunk. BUT !!! That smell is nothing compared to the legendary smell.

Ok...so...I tahan, lun, 忍...till he changes finish and went out. Then I proceeded to change. BUT !!! The smell is still there !!! The smell lingers on like a haunted spirit coming to take your soul away...It haunts you forever !!!

Now I know what they meant when they say... Leaving Behind The Legacy...

KAN PHUA SI LANG CHOW !!!

The day Mr. Chivas meets Mr. Vodka

2007-10-07T17:58:00.000+08:00

Went to cln's 21st birthday party after work. Decided not to stay too long, maybe leave around 3am. I'M NOT DRUNK !!!...Who knows...when we get there, Edmund and Calven already there liao, watching TV. Calven looks abit drunk...but the party's just getting started... I'M NOT DRUNK !!!

Edmund brought his Chivas and we opened it. It was a mistake. Actually we thought of making cln high liao, then leave...but she had other plans. Each of us supposed to down 2 cups of alcohol...by right, there should be green tea mixed with the alcohol, but I dunno why...both my cup totally no green tea lor. All chivas !!! I'M NOT DRUNK !!!...KNN...1 whole cup of chivas...TAH !!! 2nd cup of chivas...TAH !!! I'M NOT DRUNK !!!...Justin that fucker never drink finished, then say the unfinished one is mine. NB !!! But retribution comes fast. Because he did not finished his drink, he has to drink vodka mixed with chivas.

When Mr. Chivas meets Mr. Vodka, Justin goes NA BEI CHEE BYE !!! Chivas plus vodka !!! NA BEI CHEE BYE !!! then followed by a middle finger. We heard and seen that happening alot of times...till we can all repeat the same thing after him...

The clever one is still Carol. She left after the 2 rounds of Tah-ing, while we were stuck there cos the drivers were high liao. Cannot drive. Finally left the place around 8 plus in the morning. Macam do overnight leh...na bei... I'M NOT DRUNK !!!

A lot of things happened also, but it's best we keep it to those who witness the whole thing lah...no spreading...hahaha...I'M NOT DRUNK !!!

Oh ya...cannot be rude...cln, thanks for the party. Happy birthday !!!

Once again, I'M NOT DRUNK !!!

Ok...I think I'm drunk...do you believe me?

Passing Out ! and Metal : A Headbanger's Journey

2007-09-23T22:23:00.000+08:00

19th Sept. My off day. Sounds nothing special. But...it's my OFF DAY and I have to go back late morning, wear the overall to receive my certificate. Dunno can claim time off or not. But anyway, as promised, here are the photos.

Part of the batch

The other part...

Our CEO giving a speech

SAESL 9th batch of technicians...note the word technician..no more trainee technician

SAESL 9th batch with the "important" people...

Who are we ???

A small problem came up before the whole thing. Edmund and me were fighting...

Who's the cop now?

And it's to the KTV again...

Okay..that's part 1 of this week's special. Now comes part 2.

Metal : A Headbanger's Journey

This is a documentary about a guy called Sam who goes in search of the true meaning of heavy metal music. It's a good show, and I recommend this to any one interested. Here's some of the quotes taken from the show, and they echo exactly what I think about heavy metal.

"Black means danger, unknown, but it also means freedom, where it's outside of the light and day and you can do anything you wanted to without anyone watching you."

On Pop music. "Talent isn't always enough for the masses, you have to be attractive. It's annoying."

"With heavy metal, it doesn't matter if the microphone is there or not, but you still gotta sound like you're projecting your voice to the back of the hall. It's a tremendous effort."

"Metal music...metal fans like it forever. They don't get sick of it. Not like the regular pop listener."

"87% of Norway's population belongs to the Church of Norway, and yet their biggest cultural export is Satanic Black Metal."

"The most powerful predictor of whether someone will commit suicide is the feeling of helplessness. Nobody listens to heavy metal in order to feel helpless. They listen to heavy metal to feel empowered and feel connected to people. "

"I rather have the kids in the pits sweating it out the problems that they have to deal with, then to have them hurt other people."

"Why is heavy metal consistenly being stereotyped, condemned and dismissed? It's because metal confronts what we rather ignore, it celebrates what we've often deny and it indulges in what we fear most. And that is why metal is always a culture of outsiders."

"It doesn't judge me, it doesn't criticise me, it's just always there for me."

"If it keeps kids alive, if it gives them hope, if it gives them a place to belong, if it gives them a sense of transcendance, then it's a spiritual force, it's a pipeline to guide."

"You either feel it, or you don't. If heavy metal doesn't give you that overwhelming surge of power and make the hair stand on the back of your neck, you might never get it. But it's ok. We are doing just fine without you."

Some people may not like heavy metal, and some even blamed metal music for suicides and mass murders just because the guy who commits suicide or the murder listens to heavy metal. People are old enough to differentiate what's right and wrong. People only push the blame on heavy metal when something wrong...DAMN THOSE PEOPLE !!!

Ok...enough of ranting...

After 1 year...

2007-09-21T14:24:00.000+08:00

After 1 year of suffering from the "low-pay-no-money-don't-ask-me-to-go-out" syndrome, we finally can upgrade ourselves to the technician level and get the technician pay. Not that it's alot, but it really matters alot if you know how much we are getting per month during the past year.

Anyway, had our passing-out ceremony on 19th Sept. Took alot of pictures that day. Will post them up when I get the photos from our "feeling-uneasy" photographer...

So for the moment, it's bye...

No...I'm not trying that stunt again I did to all of you on my last post...

No....hahahaha

The Tears I Cry

2007-09-14T22:59:00.000+08:00

.....

Was doing dressing on the 屠龙刀 when I heard this song. Made me stopped work and took out my Ipod to check who's the singer. Krypteria. A German symphonic metal band with a South Korean female vocalist. Really nice song. Shall post the lyrics here.

As I woke this morning and realised you were gone
I wondered what life would be like if we were over and done
And I know that I can't replace your face, your touch, your smile
I miss you like crazy, I'm lost inside
I promise I'll wait for you, wasting my time
Trying to count on the tears I cry

When I rest my head tonight, this house just wouldn't feel like home
And I lay there helplessly and then staring all night at the phone
And I know that I can't replace your face, your touch, your smile
I miss you like crazy, I'm lost inside
I promise I'll wait for you, wasting my time
Trying to count on the tears I cry

No I can't replace your face, your touch, your smile
I miss you like crazy, I'm lost inside
I promise I'll wait for you, wasting my time
Trying to count on the tears I cry

Whoever says that metal bands cannot produce good music or that they are just producing noise, well...you can KISS MY ASS !!! Fuck You !!!

Speaking of tears...I wonder how many of you will cry for me when I die...

As I mentioned before, 16 of us entered the company on 4th Sept 2006 and on 3rd Sept 2007, 15 of us officially became technicians. That remaining 6.25% trainee technician...whom we call...The Legend...well, he has his own bragging rights. He really brags... 当之无愧. Anyway, heard from Sam that an ambulance was activated to our company on Wednesday afternoon. Later during dinner time, heard from Terry that the ambulance activator was none other than that remaining 6.25% LEGEND. Complained of chest pains. Vomited and then fainted. I hope this time is true. Not that I hate him or what, but I really hope this is a genuine case. Cos, if it's fake, he'll be wasting our country's resources by calling for the ambulance for a fake case, wasting everyone's time, and wasting my sms...

It's not that we don't believe him, but what he has done or said is legendary. 14 days of MC...used up already. Maybe he's thinking..."Eh...I still got 44 days of hospitalisation leave, Mai tu liao...don't waste..must use up..." I hope he's not thinking that way. Thinking of visiting him today, but did not go, cos go back do OT plus I lazy to sms everyone whether they wanna go visit him or at least buy something. Must have at least a representative from our batch to go. We are not that heartless...maybe some are, but definitely not me and Edmund. At least we don't mind going.

The 7th month passed liao. Anyone out there with any experience? Dunno why, but I think I kena...in the company, but that was before the 7th month. Was resting inside 1 very big machine when I heard someone open and close the machine door from the other side alot of times. This machine has 2 doors btw. You may say that it could be from other machines. NO ! The machine door has a special sound when you open or close, and it's the only machine with that sound. KNN...rest also cannot rest properly. So I went out and ask my friend whether he got open the door or not. He say no, and I knew what was happening. From then on, I never rest there anymore...

Ok...think I stop here...bye buggers !

Wait...before I go...if you are interested in listening to the song I mentioned just now, tell me. I send you the song.

Bye...

Damn...forget to tell you all something...

Discovered that actually besides Nightwish, there are alot of bands that are similar to them, and good as well. After Forever, Within Temptation, Elis, Visions of Atlantis, Krypteria, Lullacry, Lacuna Coil, Dark Princess, Forever Slave, Flowing Tears, Midnattsol, Leaves Eyes, Sins Of Thy Beloved, The Gathering, Xandria, Tristania...

Ok...really...no more liao.....bye liao...

WHY YOU SCROLL DOWN ??? I SAY NO MORE LIAO !!! BYE LIAO !!! DON'T BELIEVE ME ISSIT ??? BYE LAH !!!

SEE WHAT SEE??? TI-KI RITE??? 屁股痒 AH??? TELL YOU BYE LAH YOU STILL SCROLL DOWN !!!

BYE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally...

2007-09-09T00:13:00.000+08:00

Finally...Registered my Class 2B and went for the first lesson with cln and Justin. Been delaying for a loooooooooooonnnnnngggggggggggg time liao...

Finally...after so many years of waiting, Megadeth is coming to Singapore for a concert, and I already bought the tickets. Will be going with James. Other people may think it's strange, but in our batch, he's the most likely candidate to go with me. If it's LEGEND offering to go with me, I'll tell him I'm not going, but I will go alone without him...

MEGADETH !!!

Finally...played Jay Chow's secrets during the jam. No piano, no keyboards. Disappointing, but luckily can play the intros using guitar...

Finally...I hope England lose to Israel and don't qualify for Euro 2008.

Photo Taking and Megadeth

2007-09-01T02:13:00.000+08:00

Alrite...this is going to be a lengthy post...I can see Edmund adjusting his seat to get ready to laugh at what I'm gonna write, can also see Carol getting popcorns, and I can see cin blasting her music loudly while reading...See...I understand u guys !!!

Okay...28th August. The day we took our graduation photo. 16 of us entered the company on 4th Sept 2006, and now there's only 15 of us taking the photo. Why? For those who dunno why, pay me $100 and I'll tell you the whole story. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the whole truth.

At first, Edmund called me in the middle of the night, telling me that the photo-taking session will be on 28 Aug. I was sleeping lor...next day morning shift...KAO !!! Then, I read the email, it says 28th Sept. Okay...I assume HR's info is more correct. Then suddenly, 27th Aug, received a sms from Jamesy, saying the session will be on 28th Aug. KAO !!! Is it so hard to organise one bloody photo-taking session?

But anyway, here's the photos...

Some candid shots first

The usual gang

The guys...

The ladies...actually they are a couple...

But they broke up soon after the pic was taken...see the gap between the 2??? Oh ya, btw, Poon, you never fold your overall properly........tsk tsk tsk...

The official passing out photo...passing out as in graduating...not faint...REMEMBER !!! Told u before...

Edmund says it's a good recruitment photo

The whole batch and 1 HR...look at the exploding hair...the 3rd guy from the left, front row...

The people responsible for YOUR safety !!!
In case you are wondering, the 4 lucky ones who get to sit are...Repair Manager, CEO, HR Manager and the Production Manager....yes...going in that order...

My crew members...1 missing...on course...

Ok...done...finished writing...

There...Gotcha !!! It's not a long post...hahahhahaha

No lah...just joking...

It has been confirmed. Megadeth is coming to Singapore on 26th Oct. Performing at Fort Canning. http://www.lamcproductions.com/servlets/sfs;jsessionid=BC8D2E724207F840A36E1564DAB86F69?s=SxrbvFD4e0TRtCUk&t=/contentManager/onStory&i=1098152946568&b=1098152946568&l=0&e=UTF-8&active=no&ParentID=1098163178552&StoryID=1188473012134

Even if I have to go alone, I will go alone. Waited for them to come since 1996, the year I started listening to Megadeth. Looks like I still might be able to go for the Genting trip.

We are gonna jam Jay Chow's Secrets this Sunday. I hope we can at least finish the whole song, but the main problem is that no one knows how to play the piano part...Maybe I play...hmm...

Went to watch the movie too. Was quite surprised that he can make a good movie. Not a bad script. 881 was nice too. Brought my Mom to watch the show. It's been a long time since she went to the movies. I like the songs inside. Let me end this post with the lyrics...

Jit lang jit bua - 一人一半
Gum qing buay sua - 感情不会散
Jit lang jit suku - 一人一点点
gum qing jia eh ku - 感情才会久

jit kuan jit pi - dunno how to translate - 一种一边
gum qing ka eh pi - dunno how to translate - 感情才会甜
jit lang jit cui - 一人一嘴
weng wang buay pun kui - 永远不分开

Now...I hope this 9th batch will be like the lyrics above...

Damn...getting emotional...feel like crying now...

Do you believe me??? Hahahahahahahahahaha...

Whoa...for the first time, no vulgar languages...Fuck !!! How can this be??? KNNBCCB...first time leh...no vulgar languages...damn....did I just did it again?

Okay...I'm bored...

C ya !!!

What to write?

2007-08-22T22:59:00.000+08:00

Went to watch Bourne Ultimatum...not bad...quite a nice show...someone fell asleep watching it. I almost fell asleep also, but not because the movie is boring, but just that I'm too tired.

Okay...alot of people complaining no photos, and since I don't take pictures of myself using handphone or camera, I post my niece's pictures.

Peacefully sleeping...

Read this on the web recently, and I'm damn excited about it...

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has issued the following update:

"I had a trip up to L.A. yesterday and had meetings for hours and there is some real kewl stuff coming up for all-things-mega. "I saw all of the Pan-Pacific dates, and it potentially includes Indonesia, SINGAPORE, South Korea, and China added in to the usual favorites of ours, Japan and Australia. "

And the latest news...

"So, here is the scoop on the Pac Rim; we have been approached and are furiously negotiating, routing, budgeting, and trying to book our Asian tour from Nov.21st – Dec. 2nd to Surabaya, Indonesia; Downtown East, Singapore; Taipei, Taiwan; Bangalore, India, Bangkok, Thailand, Beijing and Shanghai, China. We are also doing Japan as you know (a favorite of the Drovers), and are trying to close South Korea this trip too. This will be officially announced and confirmed here." - Dave Mustaine on official Megadeth forums."

Seems like it will be held at Downtown East.

Alrite guys, if you treat me as good friend, friend, family, brother, bro, buddy, blooder, sister or whatever, PLEASE.......PLEASE pray for me that Megadeth is really coming to Singapore...

And if you treat me as good friend, friend, family, brother, bro, buddy, blooder, sister or whatever, PLEASE.......PLEASE say that you are willing to go with me to the concert...

And finally, if you treat me as good friend, friend, family, brother, bro, buddy, blooder, sister or whatever, PLEASE.......PLEASE say that you are willing to pay for my ticket...

Thanks alot...

Ok...I promised to load up the pictures taken during Carrot Calven's birthday, but photobucket is too damn bloody fucking slow. So...next time...I promise...

Ok...a promise is a promise...here are the pics

Me and God...

江南四大才子 makes a comeback

The whole gang...ok...not all...but at least got half

Pressure...everywhere...

2007-08-08T08:24:00.000+08:00

PRESSURE !!! First, I became an old man, and next I'm being pressured to blog.
Haizzz...anyway, it's time to do it. Let the babbling start now !!!

First thing first. As that Miss Poonderson said in her blog, we are passing out soon. Passing out as in graduated, not faint... Come Sept 3rd (I think so), we are officially technicians, our $600 pay increment and most importantly, 2 years left on our bond. Dec, got AWS. End Feb, we get our bonus and hopefully our Additional Incentive. March, another pay increment of $100. We are a bunch of rich kids and 1 old man(Damn).

Miss Poonderson also wished someone luck. Yeah, I think he needs it. It's amazing when you recall what he've said and done during the past year. I think the show, Ripley's Believe It Or Not should dedicate a whole episode on him. No...wait...the show, Urban Legends suits him better. He's a legend, in his own way...

Recently, a black dog with a short tail was discovered/found/unearthed/seen barking/seen biting/ in our company. His department? Cannot tell, but can give you a hint. His department is below my department, on the first floor. Go figure it out on your own.

I was barked at by this dog once. Experienced it first hand. Damn the fucker. Just arrived at work, sent down to ask when he can finish his job and out of nowhere, this black dog came charging out and tell me that he don't like people asking him what time he can finish his work. Na bei, I also don't like people shouting at me lor. CCB. When I went down, I saw him sitting down there doing nothing. When I walked towards him, then he went in to do the work. KNNBCCB !!! He still got the cheek to tell me that he can complain about me. GO AHEAD !!! I did nothing wrong. I just asked you what time you can finish so we can arrange our work. I DID NOT appear rude or said something rude. FUCK YOU !!! YOU BAD MOOD BIG FUCK ISSIT???

Not only me, alot of people kena barked/bitten by him liao. Recently, someone from our department had an argument with him, asking about each other's parents. Then he can still go find our manager and complain. Boo-hoo !!! I lose...I must go tell Mommy !!! WAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Why is it that there is this kind of people everywhere? Upstairs have, downstairs have, everywhere have. I really think someone up there distribute this kind of people evenly, making sure they have their presence felt by everyone near them...

FUCKING PRICK !!! Big piece of shit !!!

Might be going to Genting in Oct...this is a test trip. What is a test trip? It's to test whether those going to Genting can go overseas together and not have any disagreements or not. If have, we will find the troublemaker, kick him/her out, and exclude him/her from our future trips overseas. More to come on this.

5th Aug. Big day for Calven..........'s pocket. Actually his birthday is on the 6th, but we wentfor dinner on the 5th. Went to Spaggedis or whatever. Dunno how to spell. Nice food. Lobsters ! Woah...Pictures will come later...cos haven't received from our newly appointed photographer.

That's it folks. Time to sleep. Just reached home from overnight.

Don't say I not steady ah...I keep my promise by blogging...

Of all the people in the world, why me???

2007-07-24T02:04:00.000+08:00

Death. It's the one thing that everyone has to go through. It's your last job to do on this planet. Some people might have to do it in old age, and some while still in their prime. The unlucky ones are those who doesn't even have a chance to come to this planet and yet still have to die. Goddamn the poor sense of control of the guys...If you don't know how to control well, use a condom, idoit !!! Later you happy liao, song liao, then you go kill your baby...MURDERER !!!

Ah...back to me....death........SOMEBODY KILL ME PLEASE !!! No......wait......SOMEBODY KILL THE BLOODY MOTHERFUCKERS UPSTAIRS !!!

Just when I thought I could spend my once-in-every-6-weeks saturday and sunday off and could sleep just a wee bit longer...they've done it again...knocking, dragging, drilling, jumping, skipping, running, any-ing lah....but just not dying. Goddamnit...Even the 3 siao-kias heard the noise upstairs. They are just incredible. I can know where they are and what they are doing just by listening.

Why would a perfectly good family be dragging furnitures around all the time? Are they dogs? Only animals bite things and drag them everywhere. And why would a perfectly normal guy start drilling things at 7am on a sunday morning??? KNNBCCB !!!

In the beginning, my mom will just say, "aiya, kids mah. You all last time young also like that, run here run there." Now, she's getting more and more fed-up. Sometimes I even hear my mom curse under her breath...That's how serious things are...

Because of them, I have been cursing almost every morning. Because of them, I'm abit reluctant to do overnight OTs.

Of all the people, why me? There are lots more people who deserve to be tortured, but not me !!!

Sometimes I really wish I'm living in some no goverment country. They would have been dead a long time ago.

Anyway, I'm nagging here at 0208am cos my hair is still wet and I'm waiting for it to dry before sleeping.

Time to sleep liao. Full of grievances...hopefully tomorrow is a peaceful day where I could wake up peacefully, and not by some GODDAMN BLOODY NOISE !!!

Back from Hell

2007-07-15T23:24:00.000+08:00

I'm now typing this entry using my new PC, the new HP Slimline s3180d. Cost me a freaking 1.8k..goddamnit, but it did saves me from Hell...a world without internet and music on itunes...

And as usual, the bitching on photobucket...damn bloody fucking slow to load !!! I open that website before I started typing. Till this point, it's still loading. Damn...

Anyway, let us welcome a new member to my family. My niece. Came to this world on June 21. Name? Shixuan. Guess who picked the name, but no prizes. Picture time...

Cute hor?

3 siao kias come my house hit my wife...but I didn't call the police. In fact. I was the only hitting most of the time. All act shy...wah lau...but in the end, we had much fun posing pictures...

The one holding the accoustic guitar looks like she's the leader of the band..and the one with the electric guitar strikes a "Am I in the picture" pose...wahahahhahahahaahhaahah

Till next time...bye....

2007-07-06T18:13:00.000+08:00

Ok...I know it's a bloody long time since I blogged. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. My laptop kena dunno what fuck virus. CCB. But anyway, here's a brief update...

June 21, my niece came to this world. I think around 12plus in the afternoon lah, can't remember the exact time. Will upload pics when my laptop ok liao...or I buy new desktop.

July 5, 3 siao friends came to my place to hit my wife. Or to play my wife. Whatever. All kee siao, anyhow take photo. Again, will upload the pics...later...

So...you see...I'm a boring person.

Till next time...bye...

Title...I dunno also...

2007-06-12T17:52:00.000+08:00

Alrite...someone is saying that I'm old, got 老人痴呆, and not updating my blog...so...ok...

It's not that there's nothing going on in my life, but it's just that I'm too fucking lazy to blog. Actually, the writing part is still ok, since I'm so talented...but it's the photobucket that is driving me nuts. It takes forever to upload my pictures. Is it the website? Or my internet connection? Or my laptop? Or is it just me, the impatient old man?

As mentioned earlier in my previous post, I still need a double pedal and the mesh muffle heads to complete my drumset. I've asked for volunteers, but on one responded. Stingy buggers !!! So I have to rely on myself...and I got both items within the same week, robbing me around $250. So that means I've spent $1100 liao. But because I'm too fucking lazy to take pictures, so you guys cannot see my double pedal, unless you come to my house. Speaking of which, some people till now still haven't come...

Anyway, now I've realised that in order to play like a professional drummer, I still need china cymbals, splash cymbals, 1 more crash cymbal, 1 floor tom, 1 extra hihat...it's never ending. AND I REMIND YOU GUYS...I WILL NOT REST TILL I GET MY TAMA DRUMSET !!!

Turned 1 year older recently. Jin sian. Still drawing the same fucking low pay. But it's all gonna change in Sept, but we'll talk about that when the time comes...

My friends jio-ed me and Alvin for KTV and makan. And I realised...we not only good at overhauling engines, and FANBLADES, we also got people talented in flying aeroplanes. KNN...so many pilots flying around, but Changi Airport only got 3 terminals. Defintely no enough...must write MEMS...

Dear Changi Airport Management,

Recently, we've acquired a new batch of talented pilots. They do not need training. Flying aeroplanes comes naturally to them. So I suggest you build 1 more terminal specially for these pilots.

Warmest Regards,
James, from Sentencing.

Oops...did I just mention names? Wahahahahhaha. Not funny.

Okay, back to the birthday thing...Me and Alvin...

Our birthday falls on the same day...but I'm younger. Can see from the pic liao...

Supposedly, ideally, we go KTV, then go makan...

See the difference in the number of people??? Pilots !!! !@#$%^&* !!! Wahahahahahhahaha

The usual lunch and dinner kakis...but now, no more...haizzz...

江南四大材子...wanna hear our poem? Here goes...

长江后浪推前浪
前浪死在沙滩上
沙滩剩下什么浪
只剩女人在发浪

We are talented...there's some others, but either I can't remember, or it's too vulgar...maybe I'm really old liao...

But anyway, I still gotta thank them for subsidizing my future acquisition of the 80GB Ipod. Thanks guys !!!

28th May 2007. D-Day. The day when the 3 crew shift starts. Now, I don't even know what day today is. I only know that this is my first day of work after my off days. Now, I work 4 days, rest 2 days. So next time don't ever ask me what day it is. I will just answer it's my ?th day of work...

Holy fuck !!! I think this is the longest entry I've ever written...So I think I stop here...See ya soon...maybe till someone complains I'm not updating...

New toy

2007-05-25T23:28:00.001+08:00

Finally, after so many years, I finally got a drumset of my own. The day before my birthday, I got myself a birthday present. It's not a great set, but it can be considered a good set, at least that's what I think. Got it for $850, a second hand set.

Let me introduce my new toy...The edited version of the Pearl Rhythm Traveler.

The original Rhythm Traveler costs about $700, 5 piece set with 1 hihat and 1 ride cymbal.

But my set have 2 new crash cymbals, a new hihat and a new ride cymbal and 2 extra cymbal stands and a new snare drum. The new things alone costs about $400.

Using your brain to calculate, it's not bad a deal...

1 more double pedal and the mesh muffle heads to keep out the sound when I play should complete my set...so, who's gonna sponsor me? Don't be shy ah !!! Volunteer !!!

Come 28th May, my company will be implementing the 3 crews pattern. Work 4 days, rest 2 days. Got good and bad lah, but can be better. Shift allowance only $200, a $50 increase from what we are getting now.

AC Milan, the newly crowned Champions League Winner. Good game. Liverpool played well, but Milan had the extra cutting edge. Clarence Seedorf and Massimo Oddo were outstanding. Let's hope my AS Roma will play in next year's final...and win...

Oh ya, forgot to say something important. Thanks Jon, for going down to Bishan to help me collect the drumset and then drive me home and help set up. Thanks bro !!!!!!!

Justice is served !!!

2007-05-03T10:15:00.000+08:00

AC Milan 3 Manchester United 0

Justice is served ! Long live Kaka !!!

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=216259&cc=4716

It's gonna be a repeat of the 04/05 Champions League final. But I think AC Milan is gonna win this time. It's time Paolo Maldini lifts the Champions League trophy...

Updates...

2007-04-12T19:32:00.000+08:00

Right...it's been a fucking long time since I last updated my hell. Nothing much actually. Ok...that's all...BYE !!!

No lah...you think I will waste my time writing so short entries meh??? I'm a very lor soh person...so, here goes...

Work - OT and OT and OT. CCB !!! Sunday go back do overnight till Monday morning. It's ok. But the thing is when I go back to work on Monday night, my friend tell me my inspector not very happy with us (2 of us worked overnight) cos we clocked 10 hours on a job. Too many hours. At first I thought it's our fault. Later I realised that that job can clock 13 bloody hours lor !!! Than why the fuck he KPKB when we only clocked only 10 hrs??? Later that night then I know the reason, but I wouldn't say it here, cos it's not my fault.

Game - FFXI !!! Still haven't complete yet...cos now playing RTKXI. In case you don't know, it's Romance of the 3 Kingdoms XI. For the whole series, only part X I didn't play...cos damn fucking boring. XI is nice. Try it.

Ipod - Spoilt !!! KNNBCCB !!! That's what I thought initially and I have to 沦落 to use my handphone to listen to songs. Been a bloody long time since I listened to the radio while on the bus. But when I brought my ipod to service, they say I have to pay $200-300 cos no more guarantee and their policy is to do a 1 to 1 replacement. I say I consider, then I bring home and try again. EH ?!?!?!?!?!?! Can play liao...but only 1 side got sound. Now no money, so LL, bear with it first...use first...till I got the money.

Drumset - hahahahahah.....not yet buy...coming soon to a block near you...

JB - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CCB !!! I thought I queue 1 hr last time is record liao...now my record is 3hr !!! On the Good Friday. What's so good about Good Friday when people have to queue 3hrs at the JB customs, sweating it out with the other Singaporeans who think JB everything is cheap, when people faint in the queue due to the long hrs and the heat, when people fuck the customs for taking their own sweet time, when ah bengs and indians quarrel over cutting queue, when I HAVE TO QUEUE FOR 3 HRS ?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!? Please lah, got money, buy more barriers or whatever that thing is called, and make the JB customs more organised, so that people wouldn't cluster-fuck together !!!!!!!

Football - 'Nuff said. 7-1. Fuck you Man Utd !!!

There...I've told you I very lor soh....

Married !!! Not me lah...

2007-02-21T10:35:00.000+08:00

Ok...I've been delaying this one for a loooooooooooooong time...

21 Jan 2007. My sister's big day.

The night before, her siao sisters came over to our house and helped prepare the tortures that would be used the next day...and they were loud...real loud...They even asked me to try it out first. Siao bo ?!?!?!

On the actual day, my cousins came very early to help out to take pictures and videos. Wah....didn't realise that my small flat can accomodate sooooooo many people...but of cos, not enough seats to go around lah...haha, and having PS2 in my room does help, as my cousins hid in my room to play games...

The groom came around 9am to pick my sister, and after all the stupid, silly games, which locked me out from my house for 30mins, he finally entered the flat. Then they went back to the groom's place in Yishun for the tea ceremony, then come back to my place for another tea ceremony. After that, it's sleeping time for me, cos the couple went back to Yishun.

Went to the chalet...forget what time liao...and my cousins and I were supposed to help out decorate the place, but in the end, we walked for 15mins to Changi Village to makan...hahaha...so much for helping out.

Didn't eat much during the dinner, cos I was too busy taking pictures and videos. Same to my cousins. Both were sitting at the "recep" area, the others busy taking pictures. Run here, run there, run everywhere. Hahahaha.

At the end of the day, I don't know who's more tired...the couple or me...

Picture time !!!!!

The happy parents

Finally see the bride after the tekan session...

The happy parents drinking the long-awaited tea

WE

All the cousins...ok...not all, but still quite a rare pic...

A whole bunch of us...

Go Lions Go !!! Goodbye National Stadium !

2007-02-01T21:40:00.000+08:00

Went to the National Stadium with my cousins and ex-colleague to watch the Singapore - Thailand final, and what a dramatic way to send off our dear old stadium. That place holds my secondary school memories when almost half the class would meet every alternate Saturday to watch Singapore play in the Malaysia Cup. The Kallang Roar, the Kallang Wave, the feet-stomping, the "we want goal ! we want goal !" and the "referee kayu !" chants, and of course, not forgetting my personal favourite "butoh", if that's how you spelled it, will always have a special place in my heart. Also, this is the first time and the last time that the 5 of us went together to a football match in the old National Stadium...

On my way to the stadium, I had expected to see alot of people wearing red in the MRT. Nope, that wasn't the case. But when I alighted from the train and went down to the Kallang MRT control station, I see a sea of red, macam Kallang MRT station just had her period...wahahahaha !!!

When the national anthem was being played, everyone in the stadium stood up and sang out loud. And I mean real loud. We cheered for the Singapore players when their names were being announced over the PA system, cheered when Singapore had chances, cheered when Singapore scores, and we used every vulgar language possible to fuck the opponents. The Kallang Wave kept coming and coming and coming. The only silent moment was when the penalty was about to be taken. After that, it's all chaos when the ball hit the back of the net.

Was glad that I was able to witness the last match in the National Stadium, and that final match was as drama as any TV dramas. Lead actors are the referee and the Thai coach. Stupid decisions that ruined a perfectly good game, childish behaviour coming from a supposedly well-respected old man...

Anyway, if you guys wanna know what happen at the game, go buy newspaper read lah !!! I'm not a reporter !!! Don't be lazy !!!

Just arrived at the stadium, and looked at the crowd !!!

My colleague and me

The Singapore team jalan jalan around the field while the Thailand team continues their drama...

The Kallang Wave !!! It just keeps coming and coming !!!

The final score that will ever be shown on the scoreboard of the National Stadium. Singapore 2 Thailand 1 !!!

My cousins and me and my colleague...kena fucked by 1 of them for forgetting to put this photo here...wahahahahha

Latest update...

We are the Champions of ASEAN !!!

Singapore drew 1-1 with Thailand and won the cup on a 3-2 aggregate score !!!

GO LIONS GO !!!

Will cover my sister's wedding in my next post...waiting for the videos...

New handphone, new room...new drum perhaps?

2007-01-19T16:04:00.000+08:00

Finally, after 21 months, I got my no. 1 thing in my wishlist. If you forget what's on that list, scroll down and look...

N73 ! Woo-hoo ! finally got rid of that irritating SE K700. KNN. But the new phone doesn't come cheap...438 bucks with 2 year plan. Wah lau. Don't think will change hp in the next 3 years liao.

New room? Nah...it's actually the same room, but new outlook. Not really new outlook, but some minor minor changes.

When my drumset comes, I'm gonna move the "twin towers" over to the left side, and my drumset will be placed where the guitars are now. That's good planning...haha.

My bed. Single deck. No more double deck. Now can lie down and watch TV, play PS2. So shiok. See the small little jersey hanging on the wall? Guess what team is that?

Here's the answer. FORZA ROMA !!!

Last week, we had a company event. Celebrating our 500th engine, our 5th year, and 550 employees. All the staffs had to play percussions for the VIPs that were invited to the event. But it was fun. Paid to play drums...that's what I've always wanted...hahahahaha. As for the pictures, will post them next time, cos I don't have it now...

My sis getting married on Sunday. Will post the pictures up here when I uploaded all of them and when I have the time to blog.

I'm a busy man !!!

How evil are you?

2006-12-31T20:26:00.000+08:00

Chanced upon this website where you can take a test to determine how evil you are. It's not that accurate, but I did it just for the sake of fun.

Here's my results...

You Are 48% Evil

You are evil, but you haven't yet mastered the dark side.
Fear not though - you are on your way to world domination.

How Evil Are You?

Nothing much is happening nowadays, except that Man Utd is winning and Chelsea is losing grip. NO...I'm not a Chelsea fan. I'm a Man Utd hater. Anybody can win the title except Manure.

Anyway, I've started my shift work. One week morning shift and the next week afternoon shift. And the goddamned transport company is not answering my calls. CCB ! Then how to go work when I do morning shift? CCB !

Jamming will be hard to organise from now on, when a few of us on shift work. But we'll manage...

Oh ya...before I forget, Happy New Year folks !

My Sis finallly getting married liao...Time to get my drumset !

2006-12-13T21:30:00.000+08:00

13th Dec 2006. A big day for my sis. She's finally officially married.

No...it's not the wedding dinner....yet. ROM only.

The couple

Us

Everyone

Early morning have to go International Plaza collect my sis's bouquet...ok lah...maybe not so early...but 11 plus is early for me ok !!! Collect liao go ROM wait around 45mins for my sis to arrive. Actually, the whole ceremony lasted like about 5mins only...haha

Anyway, I wish them a blissful marriage, 白头到老.

Back to me-self....

Went back to SAESL to start work, and was attached to the Fanblades section. In case you guys are wondering, fanblades are those blades that turn and turn and turn in an engine. Get it??? But we are still under the General Repairs Department. The guys there are alrite, and the boss...what can I say??? Hmm...ok lah...he's a good boss lah...defintely better than my last boss, that botak...Heard from the guys there that my current boss is a welfare boss. Ho say liao. I'm glad I choose the correct company...haha !!!

That's all folks. C ya next time !

New challenges ahead...

2006-11-27T01:02:00.000+08:00

Time flies. 3 months of theory and practical course are almost over and the 16 of us will be going back to company to work on the 29th Nov. I think we made quite an impression on the lecturers in Seletar. Too fucking noisy and undisciplined, in their own words. But anyway, I'm glad to leave that ulu place. BTW, for our last test of our course, I got the highest in the class...96.2. Amazing, ain't it, especially when I supposedly failed the previous test, but the lecturer pulled me up to safety...haha. At least I go out with a bang !

Mixed feelings now. Happy because I can start doing more OT and earn more money, but sian because no more good life, no more sleeping during work, no more fooling around and of course, the 16 of us will be split into different departments. But life goes on.

Finally, after so many jamming sessions, we managed to break free from Beyond and played a few non-Beyond songs, like Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, The Reason by Hoobastank, 痛哭的人 by 伍佰. Planning 2 more 张震狱 songs, 分手吧 and 自由. My friend suggested I create our band's website on myspace, but then there's really nothing much to write about us. We don't even have a name, the people jamming keep changing...how to write???

As I'm writing this, Manchester United is leading Chelsea by a goal. Fuck you.

1 good news from the football world (it's football, not soccer, you bloody Yanks !!!). Roma beat Sampdoria 4-2 to record their 5th successive win in Serie A. FORZA ROMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To buy or not to buy?

2006-11-11T21:00:00.000+08:00

1) New handphone
2) Tama Drumset

My Sony Ericsson K700i is giving me problems. The centre button which you normally use to navigate through the functions is abit siao liao. Cannot be pressed downwards. Knn. Jin tulan. I dunno if it's my hp or Singtel problem, but sometimes I cannot send sms out in my room. I can even receive the bloody Maxis welcome sms in my room. Chee bye !!! I live in Bedok Reservoir leh ! When I was using Nokia last time, there was no problem at all. I swear I'm not gonna buy another Sony Ericsson phone. My new target? Nokia N73. My friend, who's using that phone now, says that the phone lags, but because the new software is not available yet, he advised me not to buy first. Well...I don't have the money to change phone right now, as I'm planning to buy the no. 2 thing on my list.

Come end of year or beginning of next year, you guys will see a drumset in my room. Most probably it will be Tama, unless somewhere, somehow, something happened. My sister will be getting married next year January. Yeah !!! I'm happy for her, and myself too. Finally, after sooooooooo many years, I finally have a room to myself, buy my drumset, play game whenever I want, sleep whenever I want. Now, the next immediate task is to find someone to spend 1 night with me, for free. To queue outside Swee Lee when they having their half price sale. Any volunteers???

A few day ago, I cannot send and receive sms and phonecalls. I thought it was my phone. Was damn bloody fed-up with my phone. Then I tried changing phone. Same thing. Nabei...it was my SIM card. Called up 1626, and the operator checked for me. He said I need to change my SIM card. No costs unless I changed it to a 3G SIM card, which will cost me 18 bucks. Was contemplating to change to 3G card. But the people there tell me if I change to 3G card when I buy a 3G phone, it will be free and if I change now, it will cost me money. Of course, the wise me did not succumb to temptations. I changed to a normal card. Next year January, I will change my phone.

FUCKING HELL !!! Dunno wat happen !!!!! I log into Blogger, then merge my blogger account with google. Now my Youthanasia template gone liao. For now, I will use their default template, until I found a way to revert back to my Youthanasia template. CCB !!! Next time dun be so itchy hand liao...

Megadeth Re-explained

2006-10-26T21:01:00.000+08:00

One of my favourite bands, Megadeth. Some "normal" people don't like them, because they don't listen to metal music. Some other people don't like them because of Megadeth's lead singer, Dave Mustaine. But whether you like them or not, it's a fact that Dave Mustaine is one talented guy and a good guitarist. You can't run or hide from that fact. In my opinion, the best line-up of Megadeth was Dave Mustaine, Marty Friedman(get lost, Kirk Hammett), David Ellefson and Nick Menza. Here, I will offer some explanations on a few Megadeth's lyrics.

Countdown To Extinction

Endangered species, caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage in set, now pay the price
An ego boost don't think twice
Technology, the battle's unfair
You pull the hammer without a care
Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned ...
The hunt is canned

All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction

Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare
The skin and thophy, oh so rare
Silence speaks louder than words
Ignore the guilt, and take your turn
Liars anagram is "liars"
Man you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous ...
So courageous

[Chorus]

One hour from now
Another species of life form
Will disappear off the face of the planet
Forever ... and the rate is accelerating

This is a song about the extinction of animals. It talks about people who kills animals just to get recognition or trophies. With this kind of mentality, the next generation might not even know what a tiger looks like. Damn you.

Youthanasia

Who'd believe with the way things are here
We'd be going anywhere telling people
How to live?
Who'd believe we'd spend more
Shippin' drugs and guns
Than to educate our sons? Sorry but
That's what they did

I can't help but think,
Someone's forsaken you and me

Luck deserted me and the truth
Beat out my brains
Men rise on stepping stones of their
Selves to higher things
I've stepped over lots of bodies on my way
Thanks for the information don't need no
More anything

We are the damned of all the world
With sadness in our hearts
The wounded of the wars
We've been hung out to dry
You didn't want us anyway
And now we're making up our minds
You tell us how to run our lives
We run for youthanasia

The picture showing a man hanging babies out to dry on a clothesline on my blog is the title of this song, Youthanasia. It shows how adults are destroying and betraying this world and making it a much much worse place to live in for our children.

More to come later...

Busy with important things?

2006-10-22T22:19:00.000+08:00

Quite busy recently. So many things for me to do. I've got Samurai Warriors 2, Final Fantasy XII and Football Manager 2007 to complete. God knows when will that be. Can somebody tell me how to divide my time???

Oh ya, almost forgot about the "final boss" of my course in ATTC. The big test. 100 questions. Electrical + Nondestructive Testing + Powerplants. Fuck the management. Told us there will be a test combining both Electrical and NDT and another test just purely on Powerplants. On the day when the test is supposed to be, we were told there will be no test. Wasted my time studying at McDonalds till 1am the previous night. Fuck you understand !!!

21st Oct 2006. A big day for Ah Ma. Her 21st birthday. As usual, we organise a small party in the pantry. I was supposed to bring my camera. When I got home on the 20th, I realised something. My Mom had thrown my camera battery charger away ! Jin well done...But anyway, let's put that unhappy episode aside.

The whole class...again...

Ah Ma with the 4 Talents of Jiangnan.

Met up with the BMC folks on Sunday, 15th Oct. Roy, Roy-sao, Casey, Alex, Kee, Sikai, Andrew, Puang and me met at Rice Table at Suntec for dinner, then proceeded to KBox. Went in around 830pm. Was told that the price will be $16+++, which is around $23 and we can sing till 3am. Damn good deal...must go again next time.

In case you guys are wondering what the French words in my blog means, this is it. It's the chorus from Megadeth's song, A Tout Le Monde.

A Tout Le Monde : To all the world (Everyone)
A Tout Les Amis : To all the friends
Je Vous Aime : I love you all
Je Dois Partir: I have to leave

I like this song. Maybe I will play this song at my funeral...here's the full lyrics.

Dont remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
Id love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone thats all

A tout le monde
A tout les amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
There are the last words
I'll ever speak
And theyll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred

1 last thing before I go...FUCK YOU LIVERPOOL !!! Why you cannot win Man Utd??? Why must you lose to them??? You deserve to get relegated if you don't buck up !!! FUCK YOU !!!

This is Ah Pui signing off.............for now...

1 down, 4 to go

2006-10-09T18:44:00.000+08:00

6th Oct, 4 of us from SAESL went drinking at Pink Dolphin. Ordered Martell and mixed with Coke. Played 5-10 game. Now I realised, shouting 10 is the best way to let the person next to you to drink. 1 of my friends drank alot because he keep kena-ing the 10. Dunno why...but later, we called ourselves the 4 Talents of Jiangnan. I'm sure all of you agree...

7th Oct, my cousin leaving his single status behind and stepping into the next phase of his life. With his departure from Single Status, there's still 4 of us not married yet...

The ceremony was at The V Tea Room, at Esplanade. Took alot of pictures, saw alot of char bo, eat alot of their specialty. Cannot remember what it's called, but it's nice...damn nice. That day was also his and another cousin's Chinese birthday.

Found a potential girlfriend for another of my cousin...hmm...think he will like her very much. After the ceremony, few of us went KTV. I went along, even with a sore throat. Jin well done.

Oh ya, Ali, in case you are reading this, send me the pics we took that day, and also the pics you took when you guys sabo me !!! I will remember that !!!

Ah Sheng, CONGRATULATIONS BRO !!!

9th Oct, the head of the 3 Musketeers of Buangkok's birthday. Bought a cake for her. Because I am clever, I brought my camera along, although no one said anything about bringing a camera. At 10am, we celebrated her birthday in the ATTC pantry. Pathetic. As usual, the birthday song, the cake cutting, the cake eating, but no cake throwing.

The cake.

Our birthday girl.

The 3 Musketeers of Buangkok. Left side is White Tiger, Right side is Green Dragon.

The 4 talents of Jiangnan and the birthday girl.

The whole class.

Of course, not a day passes in ATTC without saying stupid things.

Agar Agar = Alar Alar
Pagoda = Pentagon
Dinosaur = Di - NO saur

As I was writing this...the idiots upstairs are doing it again. FUCK YOU !!!!!

Reading = QPR?

2006-10-01T21:19:00.000+08:00

Now, Channel 23 is showing the West Ham United vs Reading game. Seol Ki-Hyon or whatever his name is, sent a thundering shot towards the West Ham goal. He scores. He celebrates. He runs around the pitch. Then dunno why, maybe it's the jerseys, I thought I was watching Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League. Then I saw the sponsor Kyocera on the jerseys. QPR's sponsors this season is Cargiant, not Kyocera. Damn. Fucking disappointing. When will I ever see QPR in the EPL again? Until that time, I will be focusing on my other favourite team, AS Roma in Serie A. And after reading today's New Paper, I have to admit I agree with the ladies. The EPL is over-hyped by the papers in Singapore. La Liga, Serie A and the Champions League are way way much better than EPL. Or maybe I'm just jealous and fucking tulan that my team is not in the EPL. Maybe I should start supporting Reading, since their jerseys are almost the same.

Went for dinner and KTV with the mad people from SAESL on Friday night. We split into 2 groups. 1 group went to eat expensive Maggie Mee while the other went to eat expensive curry cooked by a guy called Muthu...or he owns the shop? I dunno. I went with the curry group. 6 of us went to eat curry and among the 6, 3 are coughing. Jin well done. The curry was good. The bill was lagi better. First time eat so expensive curry. The void deck chicken curry also not so expensive.

After the dinner, we proceeded to Partyworld in Shenton Way. KNN. Why everytime KTV go there? Macam hotspot. But...alot of chio bu...so I don't mind. We sang from 10pm-2am. Here are the candid shots.

Our dear Alfred singing...

The 4 Heavenly Kings...nah...just kidding...

Wanna go toilet, but song coming next...LUN AH !!!

The mad people from SAESL...in case you are wondering, the guy in brown shirt and the girl in yellow and me...we are the 3 musketeers of Buangkok. The yellow one is Lao Da, me second in command and the brown one is number 3. The one sitting on the floor wearing a shirt is our Alfred, meaning servant. The centre white shirt guy is the adopted child of our Lao Da. The blue shirt girl is the overall Lao Da...and we all call her Ah Ma...and lastly, the white guy beside our Lao Da is our Ah Ma's personal bodyguard.

Reach home around 220am. Went to sleep. KNN...fucking cheebye. The idiots upstairs are at it again. Skipping ropes and dragging furniture. Phua cheebye. Then when I finally wake up, I realised that my left thigh is in pain. Cannot walk properly. KNN. Issit a stroke??? From yesterday pain until now...think must go see doctor on Monday. But the clinic open at 7pm, and I wanna see the TV show on CH8 leh...What should I do???

Sicko is back !

2006-09-27T19:50:00.000+08:00

Fucking Chee bye !!! From Sunday onwards, I keep coughing like there's no tomorrow. Na bei Chee bye. Got the Mechanics of Flight test on Tuesday. So, on Monday, after Little Moustache finished up his lectures, everyone was either busy studying or busy trying to study for the test. Someone tio food poisoning, but still managed to go class. Quite a few was coughing away also. Must be the fucking forest fire and the haze. Chao chee bye. Every year must have forest fire. If don't have forest fire will die issit? Anyway, everything went smoothly that day. No one fainted or cough out blood. At night, dunno why, my cheeks (not buttcheeks, idiots!) suddenly very pain. Pain until I really cannot concentrate and I fell unconscious around 10pm.

On Tuesday, whole day of studying. Or trying to study. Then...after a while of studying, something trickled down my nose. I thought it's the normal running nose, so I stuck a tissue inside and continue trying to study. Then when I took the tissue out...YEAH...BLOOD ! Fucking nosebleed ! KNN...

Cheeks pain, sore throat, flu, headache and nose bleed. So happy. So many friends come and visit me. But still managed to pass the test, with alot of people's help. So great to know friends who really study.

At night, so see doctor. Waited for around 5mins, then went inside the room. The doc asked me what happened, so I told him sore throat, flu, headache, cheeks pain. Then he took my pulse and temperature and told me I have a fever. Then he say..."ok, I will prescribe some medicines for you. That's all. Thanks." Huh? I waited for 5mins outside and I'm out there again in 2mins. Chop Chop curry pop. When I went to collect my medicine, I realised he didn't give me any medicine for sore throat...Well done.

Some of you might wonder why I didn't take MC, since I'm the chao keng type of person in your eyes. The doc got asked me if I wanna take MC, but I say I dun wan. I believe it's the first time I rejected a MC...

JB Here we come !

2006-09-24T20:47:00.000+08:00

Went JB yesterday for the same usual reasons. Not lup sup bar, but DVDs and makan. Met my cousin on bus 23 around 1130am. Went to Queen Street to take the Causeway Link to JB. Everything go swee swee till we arrived at the Malaysia part of the Causeway. Dunno why, for the first time, the bus lane got traffic jam. So we alighted and walked about 200m to the Malaysia customs. A great sight greeted us. Too many people waiting to get through the customs. We reached the place around 1pm. The queue was like a traffic jam where 3 lanes converge into 1 lane. In army terms...this is called CLUSTER-FUCK !!! Fuck the JB customs...dunno how to put railings properly. No aircon, only 2 lousy fans. Fuck the JB customs. Customs officers take their bloody own sweet time. Fuck the JB customs. When I finally cleared the customs, it was already 2pm. Imagine what I can do in one hour. Fuck the JB customs.

After clearing, we went to Taman Pasar to eat our favourite butter crayfish, accompanied by bamboo shoots with sambal and hotplate tofu. Someone is drooling in US liao. We washed everything down with a big glass of sugarcane juice. Shiok Shiok. Only cost RM54. Where to find?

Then it's time for the big party ! Holiday Plaza ! Went to the usual hangout and browse through everything. Everything was done chop chop and we left the place and proceeded to City Square. On our way there, we saw lots of policemen on the street. 1 whole bloody street full of policemen. The cab driver who was driving us suspected it might be a robbery. But in any event, how are they gonna solve the crime when all of them are on the same street???

Went to the factory outlet in City Square. Found out that the jeans there almost same price in Singapore. Might as well go Giordano better...knn...waste my time. Bought 2 boxes of tou sa pia and proceeded home. Finished our mission around 430pm. First time the mission ends so fast...

It's gonna take lots of convincing and pyschoing to get me go JB on weekends again. Fuck the JB customs.

Jamming...........again

2006-09-21T20:39:00.000+08:00

Went jamming yesterday again. Not the best, but also not the worst session we ever had. Was a bit luan though. Managed to play the medley again, with no MAJOR mistakes.

A lot of them played with my toy last night. My drumset lah !!! What the hell are you thinking??? I'm glad they played way way worse than me, cos I will still be the drummer...But then, last night's jamming made me miss the last episode of Healing Hands III. DAMN !!!

Had a new lecturer teaching us on Monday. Little Moustache. He's alot different from the previous lecturer. While we can joke and laugh and talk cock with the previous one, this new lecturer came in with a very stern look. Then he proceeded to introduce himself and said he used to be a regular from Paya Lebar Airbase. For those who dunno, I'm from PLAB also.

Then someone said "Chao Keng". The whole class erupted into laughter. And I can assure you, when we laugh, it's loud. Real loud. "It's not funny." The reply came back and all of us stopped laughing immediately. Hard week ahead. Siao liao...

But actually, he's not that bad. Sometimes he cracks jokes, but we laugh only a few times so far. What made us really cannot tahan is that he practically reads from the textbook. You know how boring it is, especially after lunch???

The way to counter this boredom is to entertain ourself. So 2 others and me, we formed a clan called The 3 Musketeers of Buangkok. Our motto : We Make Things Interesting ! And sure enough, we entertained the class with our pronouciation. Aerodynamics became aerodymatic. Kentucky became Teng Kaki. Kopitiam became Ko leh tiam. Caliper became Calipear. Keppel became Kepell. Wonder what will come out tomorrow...

Some of you may wonder why suddenly my blog changed from a very plain one to the Megadeth template. My sis did it for me. Since she had nothing to do and I was busy studying, I asked her to do it for me. NOT FOR FREE OK !!! I had to serve her dinner...sibling ties...whoever said that will get it from me.

Oh ya...I'm still disappointed with you people for not standing up for me when someone say I have no image. Some of you even have the audacity to rub salt into my wound. WELL DONE !

Damn...cannot post Chinese words...Wah lau.

Imageless???

2006-09-15T22:42:00.000+08:00

Someone say I don't have any image to uphold and she challenged me to ask around. So now I'm asking...I GOT IMAGE BO ?!?!?!?!

Tell the truth, do not be afraid to tell the truth, and nothing but the whole truth. Do not be bribed. Do not be hesitant. JUST TELL THE TRUTH !!!

Just finished reading Pegasus Bridge. It's about the UK's Ox and Bucks's bold raid on D-Day to capture a bridge. It was amazing on how they took the bridge, caught the Germans by surprise and in the process lost only 1 lieutenant, shot in the neck. That's the 3rd Stephen Ambrose book I read, after Band of Brothers and D-Day. Comparing the training that they had and what we had during our NS, our army boys are so sissy...

My friend called me and in a very haolian voice, informed me that he finished his 10th ICT and got his cert releasing him from NS commitments. He's totally free from the army liao. The conversation...

T : Bro...I got my cert liao...no more reservist
ME : FUCK YOU
T : so you got how many more?
ME : FUCK YOU
T : mai ah nei lah, friendly abit lah. Tell me...how many more?
ME : FUCK YOU

I was having my kopi break, and my classmates around me was so shocked. How come this guy answer phone and say FUCK YOU three times???

Actually, I'm not a really vulgar person, but you guys gotta judge...

Remember...

DON"T LIE !!!

United We Pass, if not...United We Fail !!!

2006-09-14T20:55:00.000+08:00

First test of the ATTC course today. Materials and Tools. Supposed to start at 3pm, but since all of us, well...not all, but half of us already no mood to study and talking cocks, we request to take the test at 1130am.

When the question paper was given to us, we flipped through and someone said,"Damn...siao liao." My sentiments exactly. "Ok, you can start now. No handphones on the table." The lecturer said. The test had 40 questions and must get 30 questions correct to pass.

Damn...the second question I already dunno how to do liao. Then I heard someone ask,"eh, number 2 question simi answer?" Woah...I'm not the only one. The reply came loud and clear. Then, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE !!! Everybody ask everybody questions. Same questions were asked 3 times. The class macam not having exams, but having discussions with one another.

You might think what the lecturer is doing. He's giving us hints, in a soft voice, one to one. Almost all of us had the same answer as the others. So, if we pass, we pass together. If we fail, we fail together. Band of brothers and sisters.

We completed the test, no...discussion in 30mins. Hand in the paper. Mark the papers. Results. All passed. 7 of us, including me get 39 out of 40. Best thing, all 7 of us had the same question wrong. 1 girl in the class got full marks. Lowest was 35.

And handphones are useless in this test...Had wanted to use handphones to sms each other, but didn't managed to use it. Maybe next time.

UNITED WE PASS !!!

Cannot everytime put pictures...cannot pamper that person...

Jamming for the ???th time

2006-09-11T19:40:00.000+08:00

Went jamming on Sunday from 2-5pm. As usual, being the earliest, I reached there around 115pm and I proceeded to go order my lunch, duck rice. Ok, I was alone, so I had to bring all my barang barang with me when I go order. After ordering, I went to OUR usual table and sit down and started enjoying my New Paper. Bloody hell, after 15mins, my duck rice is still nowhere to be seen. But since the stall is known for its slowness, I decided to give it another 10mins. 140pm. Kee arrived, but my duck rice not arrived. Feeling damn bloody fed-up, I went over to the stall and asked the guy, "Eh, where my siao ar ben? 30mins liao leh." The guy can still say I never tell him my table number. What the fuck??? How to chop a table and then go order duck rice when I'm alone? They cannot come find me meh? Then he asked me to wait there while he prepare the food. Then he give me all the "jin best, jin alrite" parts...That's the last time I'm ordering from that stall liao. Bloody chee bye.

Jamming time. As usual...almost all sms me...I be late. Standard. Anyway, someone say my blog got no pics, so...this is normally where we go jamming and the usual partners in crime...

My instrument...

Think I'm supposed to ask for permission to post the pics, but since they are already on youtube, I think I can skip that step.

Played the same old Beyond songs again, though there's improvements every time we play. At least we managed to hear 长城's intro. But still feeling a bit disappointed...cos I still forget 遥望 and 早班火车's bridge part. Skipped quite a few songs that day, didn't managed to play our favourite medley.

After jamming, had a small discussion with the studio boss, then went for dinner at...the same place...Chongqing steamboat at Kallang....again...and again....and again...and again........Then something amazing happened. I actually agreed to go play pool. Bloody hell. I can't play and I went along with them. But it was good fun, to prepare myself for the boring week ahead...

1st rant

2006-09-09T23:07:00.000+08:00

1st blog entry...

Fresh from the Everton 3 Liverpool 0 match. What the fuck is Jose Reina doing with the ball for that Everton 3rd goal? He looks like he's playing basketball.

Wayne Looney whacks Michael Gray and sends him sprawling to the ground. What is he? A footballer or boxer? Just because a drunk guy makes some comments on his lady and his friends, he send his fists flying towards a fellow professional? Why not raise up his leg and try to kick him in the groin? After all, he's done it before. No...wait, that's stomping on someone's dick. Kicking and stomping is different. He's a half celebrity now, not a fucking chow ah beng...stare simi lanjiao? Buay song ah? Lai lah !!!!! Maybe if he tries more of this stunts, we could see Flying Boot Part II soon.

Started on my new job on Monday. As usual, it's zo bo for the whole day, with all the usual admin things. How to report sick, where to report sick, how many leaves, working hours..blah blah blah. Basically, the whole lot of us slept through everything. Tuesday and Wednesday, we went around to the different departments for some basic orientation. Supposedly, ideally, we need to spend 2 hrs in every department, but normally the orientation ends in 10-15mins. So it's the locker room for the guys, and dunno where for the girls. We did ask them whether they wanna join us, but they reject us quite politely.

Thursday and Friday...class time. Wake up, go class, slp, smoke, slp, lunch, slp, smoke, slp, tok cock, go back. What a life. And with any other school, there will be tests. And the tests are penalty marking...which means if you answer wrongly, they deduct 1.5 marks. If you leave blank, they deduct 1 mark. That means cannot bring dice to the tests liao...NNM

Words and words do make my blog boring ah...but who cares? You are the one reading it...

Someone say got no pics...so...

Now...this drumset is impossible to get...so I'm gonna go for...

The Tama Superstar !!!!!
